Gen. Weyler quoted as having re-
Gently said that Spain will lose Cuba in
few months If she persists in forcing
autonomy upon the inhabitants of the
island. He might reasonably have
added that the result would be the same
in any event. 1t begins to look very
much as il Spain had reached the
critical crisis Ia the Cuban contest ,wheve
there is absolutely nothing left upon
which to hang hope Of success, where
methods cut no ice. which means when
fairly summed up, that she will be
damned IL she does, and be damned if
she don't.

The increased activity in business
since the beginning of the month 10
looked upon as legitimate result of the
conservative policy announced by the
President in bis message. The posibiti-
ty Of legislation on currency or Cuban
affairs which might destroy or cripple
business conditions brought something
of check to the growth which was
coincident with the incoming Of the new
administration, but now that the busi-
ness men of the country have seen the
dignified manner in which the Presi.
dent has handled these difficult prob
lens and made his recommendation to
congress, there is renewed feeling of
safety and Of business activity in all
lines.

Calls it Rot.

Th CUSTER CHRONICLE repablishes the
silly libel sent out from Edgemont By
rattle-pated granger, about an organized
gang in Deadvood whose object il to
defeat the sale of Southern Hills min
ing property. The CHRONICLE prefaces
the rot with the declaration that "if
true. should be given such promp and
heroic attention as to warrant the i'm
mediate discontinuance OF this outrage
Gus practice" The editor Of the paper
has sufficient amount of intelligence
concealed about him to know that it is
not true and lie ought 10 have been
honest enough to say so instead Of Civ
ing the fake semi endorsement.-
Pioneer-Times.
While it is not now, nor has it been
in the past the purpose of the CHRoN-
IcLE to make a roar over the wrongs
that the Southern Hills have had to
contend with, as alleged by the "rat,le-
pated granger" of Edgemont, we cannot
conclude, after thorough consideration
OF the evidence bearing upon lie case,
that the statements made by the Edge
mont correspondent are wholly rot. On
the contrary, We are led to believe by
the declarations of more than one
would-be investor in Southern Hills
mining property. that there is more in
these statements than the Pioneer
Times would seem to believe. In the
face of the numerous statements Of
capitalists seeking investment in Black
Hills mines, to the effect that they had
been warned by Deadwood parties
against making any investment in the
Southern Hills, it is difficult for us to
imbibe the conclusion that the article
referred to is unequivically libelous and
unwarranted. 1t would be indeed
gratifying 10 know that it were so, but
the sufficient amount OF ofintelligence"
which the Pioneer-Times gives us credit
for carrying Concealed" about rs, has
proven insufficient to dispel all doubt in
this direction. 1t is unnecessary to say
| that, had there been no other evidence
Of the outrageous conduct complained Of
than the mere statements OF tire Edge
mont correspondent, no attention what
ever would have been given 1t; but in
view of the fact Of there having been
for long time q we'll settled belief ON
the part Of the miners in this section Of
the Hills. that they were being back.
capped and blackmailed by certain
Deadwood parties. We did not deem IL
out Of place to republish the article
without condrinatory comment. and in
view Of the prevailing sentiment. we
fail to see bow We could consistently
have done otherwise. and therefore, II
may be readily eeen that. for 80 doing,

The people who were assuming few
days ago that the new tariff law would
not probably produce sufficient revenue
to meet the running expenses Of the
government arc beginning 10 change
their minds. The present indications
are that the December receipts will
equal the December expenditures. and
the treasury officials estimate large
increase in receipts early in the coming
year. There is every reason to believe
that the new law will produce consid-
erable surplus in the next fiscal year
without any additional tariff legislation.

Senator Mason presented in the seu-

remarkable petition ever laid before
congress In behalf Of legislative pro-
position. II was the Chicago Records
petition for the establishment of the
postal savings bank system, and bore
the signatures Of voters from every state
and territory in the union, Alaska alone
excepted. The largest number of sign
ers, as was 10 be expected, was from
Illinois. the figures for the state, Chi.
cago included, being 269,s75. The vote
of the state for president in 1856 was
l,090,S69. More than one voter in four
in the state Of Illinois, therefore, is a
signer to the postal bank petition. 1t is
interesting to note that Ohio, the home
Of President Mckinley, is second. The
total number Of signatures is S,73S.

The recent annual report of the treas
urer Of South Dakota makes a most
gratifying showing Of the financial con-
dition of state which has had more
than it's share Of official reyerses in the
past few years, says the Minneapolis

argument on the importance of putting
business men instead of mere politicians
in Offices of trust. The republicans OF
the state might do worse than to pro-
mote Treasurer Kirk Phillips to the
governorship next year. in which Office
there has long seemed to be an urgent
demand for the application Of strict
business principles.

The annual report Of State Treasurer
Kirk Phillips for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1897, says the Argus Leader,
makes a showing over which the tax.
payers of South Dakota may well re-
joice. Ii is not often that state begins
to pay its debts so soon after its admis-
sion to the union. The last year has
been one of debt paying not only on
the part Of citizens but by the state.
For the year ending June 30, 1897. the
floating Indebtedness Of the state showed
a net reduction of $4,000. During the
same period there was net reduction
Of the bonded Indebtedness of $l26, 900,
making the net total reduction of S30l,-
600. During the ensuing year the treas
urer expects TO pay off 800 600 of five
per cent bonds. which will leave the
state with Lo obligation which bear a
saSask Rbe ASR SAt Sdie
state bonded debt. 1t is a showing of
which the reople of South Dakota have
every reason to feel proud. The last
year has seen the disappearance of
every six per cent obligation, and the
next one will see paid up every obliga.
ton which bears five per cent. 1t is
the excellent policy Of the treasurer to
take up every high interest bearing
obligation, as it natures, either by pay
ing outright, or by reiunding on lower
interest basis, thus constantly cutting
the amount paid by the taxpayers on
the interest account. The treasurer's
report is clear, straightforward and
business like and the facts lie has 10
state are such as to give reason for
mutual congratulation. We are headed
the right way.

We hear a great deal about

way to purify it is to enrich
it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t
actually increases thenumber

gist fthe bill is to make the passenger
rates 2l3 for frst-class and 2 cents for
second-class per mile, and to reduce the
freight rates i'm proportion; also forbids
any issue Of free passes to public officers.
Mr. Butler spoke at Ee length on the
lrill, saying that jt rates We're reduced
tAe railroads and other companies would
be benefited. because taey would have
much more business; more people would
ride and more people would ship goods;
he called on the Populsts TO support the
bin al it was one of the demands.
Mr.. Anthony said that If the rates were
reduced the corporations would reduce
the pay of their employees (tbe poor ones),
and they were getting now only enough
to live on, therefore he opposed the bill.
Mr. Scales said there were several
things in the bin he would be glad to
support. but as it now stood the bin would
reduce the rates ON all local lines and in
justice to the local roads he could not
support the bill as it was, but if the Sena-
tor (Butler) would so fix his bin as not
to injure the local roads he would sup
port it.
aIr. Ray offered the following amend
ment:
Section 1. That the Railroad Commits
sion shall, after their present term expire,
be elected by the qualified voters Of the
State as other State officers are elected.
Section 2 That in addition to the powers
already granted and given to said Com
nlissioners, they shall have the power to
prevent any reduction in the wages Of any
employe Of the railroad companies Of this
State, and when satisfactory proof is
brought before the Board Of Railroad
Commissioners that the wages Of any en-
ployes Of any railroad company have been
reduced. the commissioners shall have
the right to enter a fine Of 5000 against
such company for each offence, and said
Judgment shall be valid and binding
