STRIKE STILL ON.

The boys at the LaBelle, who work
in the nail and tack factories, are still
out on a strike against the reduction
proposed to them of one-half cent on
every keg. Incorrect information was
furnished to a Register reporter Mon
day by one of the bosses at the mill,
who stated that the boys had asked for
a raise and that it had been granted to
them and that they had gone back to
work. This is not fact, however.
The boys. numbering over sixty in all,
were reduced the amount stated, and
rather than accept the reduction quit
work and walked out of the mill. The
nailers were attending to their ma
chimes yesterday without help, and the
strike still remains unsettled.

Fourth of July Thoughts.

One of the most interesting
pieces of history connected with
the American flag remains to be
told. For eighty-nine years after
the Stars and Stripes we're adopt
ed, they were made of foreign
goods. All through the War of
1912 and the Civil War no Ameri-
can soldier or sailor ever fought
under a yard of American bunt-
ing. No bunting was made in
this country for two reasons, first,
because nobody knew how to make
it, and second, because nobody
could make it and compete with
England. General Butler induced
Congress in 1865 to put a tariff of
40 per cent. on bunting, and a
man was sent to England to learn
how to make it, and when he
returned twelve looms we're put
in operation, and then on Feb
ruary "a, 1866, a notable event
occurred in Washington. The
first American flag made of
American bunting was hoisted
over the National Capitol. The
flag was II feet by u feet, and
was the gift of General Ben
Butler.
We said there were twelve
looms engaged in making bunting
in 1865; we'll, that was good
many then, but in twelve years
afterward there were $4,000 looms
making the same article.
Under Free-Trade III bunting,
we paid from S25 to S35 bale
for the goods, and under a Pro-
tectiye Tariff the price fell to SIS
| for a first class article. ---Fond du

Pettigrew's Dilemma.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: A
strange tumble of Inconsistencies
is this man Pettigrew. A life
long republican and tl1roug bout
his whole senatorial career an
ardent advocate of a protective
tariff, he broke his vocal chords
the other day in a passionate out
burst Of denunciation of the
republican policy of protection.
And yet, while denouncing pro-
lection as policy, he has been
fiercely insisting upon the pro-
lection of a long list Of the
products of South Dakota. Thus
he is both for protection and
against it---for it for the indus
tries and products of his own
state; against it when applied to
the industries and productions OF
other states. Thus, IN his present
course, he repudiates the princi-
pies which he has championed for
years, and violates the opposing
principles which he now profes-
ses. He is violently OPPOSED to
himself as he was and ais violently

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 2. 1897.
The last days of the tariff
debate in the senate were dis
agreeably warm and it was ap-
parent that the senator's were
quite as tired of it as the public
was. Still there were some more
or less interesting episodes be-
tween talk and votes upon such
absorbing topics as the duty on
bleaching powder. Among them
was the spirited colloquy between
Senators Tillna1 and Chandler.
started by the former in speech
in favor of his tariff amendment
imposing head tax of S1OO upon
|all immigrants. It was tit for
tat between these very sharp
tongued gentlemen for awhile,
while bursts of laughter frcm the
other senators indicated that the
wrangle was furnishing amuse-
ment, if not wisdom, for its
heare. 5. When Mr.. Chandler in
mock alarm expressed his fear of
Mr.. Tillman that gentleman as

opposed to himself as he is. He
is an embodied self qualification.
The plain truth is that now, as
ever heretofore, he is wholly un-
embarrassed by honest CONVICTIONS
upon any question. He went
lover to the free silver camp
because he thought that was the
way to political success in South
Dakota. He is for protection so
far as the products of South
Dakota are concerned because he
dare not be otherwise. But he is
against the bill which embodles
this protection to the industries
of his own state. He will not be
at all embarrassed by the dilemma
which will present itself to him
when the votes are taken on the
final passage of the bill. He
cannot vote for it without violat-
ing the principles he now pro-
fesses. He cannot vote against
it without voting against the
protection of the industries of his
own state. AS usual, he will
sacrifice principle to self interest
and vote for the bill. He will
satisfy. his populist and free silver
supporters by furious TRADES
against protection, and satisfy
his constituents by voting to pro-
tect their interests.

Mysteries of the Hand-How to Solve
 Them.
From the New York Journal.l B !.

lprOm lne NeW I Ork Journal.
 If the hand is surrounded by large cuff have the cards counted every two or three deals and look out for hold outs.
 If the hand is kept continually under the table when not in action, you are warranted in having your suspicious of the owner.
 If the hand have an itching palm look out for bluffs.
 1.-the hand trembles, bluff against the owner as often as possible, and pound him for all you are worth. By doing this you will be able to get even for some of the sorrows of your past life.
 If the hand is in the habit of holding bob-tail straights and fushes, congratu- late yourself quietly, and do not leave the game until you have all the money.
 If, on the other hand, the hand holds royal straights and such things, play very close to your shirt front and leave early, pleading previous engagement.
 If the hand holds five aces or five cards of any denomination, get out of the game immediately. If the hand holds a six-shooter agree to anything that the owner proposes. This description of hand is not often found east of the Mississippi river, but west of the river it is fayorite of some of our most successful poker players.

An Advanced Boomer.
From the Phoenix Republican,

From the Phoenix Republican,
 c. P. Sykes, a prominent citizen of Pima county and more responsible than anybody else for the survival of Gala basas, arrived in town yesterday. MT. Sykes built an ornate hotel there which is the monarch of all it surveys. He issued pictured prospectus of that region, his hotel occupying promi- nent place in the foreground upon the banks of the broad, blue Santa Cruz, whose waters were being plowed and narrowed by magnificent side-wheel steamers laden with passengers crowd ed on the decks impatient to reach the landing in order that they might put up at Mir. Sykes hotel and get the first choice of such corner lots as were then unsold. It was from this incident that that torturous snake of sand came tc be called the Raging Santa Cruz. : And from the same incident Mir. Syke: was called, either justly or unjustly, 2 boomer of an advanced type.
