Fort Meade, S. D, March 1s.-The
Black Hills ranges are being secured
by the United States agents for
horses suitable for the cavalry. A
cent act has been made with enc
large horse company for 1000 horses
as soon as they can be brought in
from the range. Negotiations are
also beng made by the go, eminent
agent here for several hundred more
horses from other ranches. The

the hurried orders and the fact that
the horses are not up to the army
standard, that it means war.

Hon. Geo B. Ellis asks the dem
ocratic party to endorse his first
term in the legislature by a renomi
nation Although new memb Der,
without Legislative experience, he
was recognized by the Speaker by
being placed upon the following
most important committees: Appro-
priationa, Educational, Mines and
Mining and Township organization.
He was, like our distinguished repre-
sentative in congress, always at his
post of duty. He did not force him
self upon the attention Of the House
unduly, but always was ready to
oppose or defend a MEASURE as his
Judgment told him was for or against
the interests of his constituents and
the people Of the whole state. He
voted for the fellow servant bill
passed by the legislature affecting
railroad corporations and their en-
ployees, but believed the measure
should be broad enough to include
all employees of all corporations
and especially the mines of the state,
large number of which class were
his constituents. He introduced
House bill No. SAL which passed the
house by decisive vote and was
crowded out by the pressure of
business in the senate at the close of
the session. The Labor commits |

which it deals with the many phases

charges at stock yards in the state,
which was passed by the house and
defeated by the senate. He intro
luced bill regulating and reduc-
ng the salary and fees of our county
officers, making the average salary

probably be made to the President
this week. It Is the supposition
now that President Mckinley will
Immediately transmit a message to
Congress emboiying the conclusions
of the court, with his recommends
tons. The matter will then rect
with Congress whether we shall
have peace or war with Spain. Sea-
ator Thureton, who was in Omaha,
Neb., attending the obsequies OF his
wife, declared publicly that the time
for Intervention in Cuban affairs has
arrived, that he would so declare in
a speech to be made in the Senate
the last of this week. When asked
for a statement with regard to af-
fairs in the island, based on his re-
cent trip, said he could add nothing
to what had been said by Senator
Proctor. That he could vouch for
every word in that report, bat that
it was an der-statement. He
could have said much more and
kept within the truth. He said that
the only remedy is intervention IN
less the people are willing to look
on and see the work of starvation,
already SO far advanced, completed
These reports Of such distinguish
ed statesmen and conservative men,
confirming the horrors of which we
daily read, should have the effect Of
forcing an Intervention by this gov
eminent and saving the remnants of |
that proud race which in lis strug-
giles for liberty and freedom are not |
only offering up the lives of their
men on the battle field but their |
women and children, ''seed corn" |
are being starved to death in fortii
ed towns. When the Armenian |
were being carried on by
the blood-thirsty Turks, the people
Of this country were loud in their
denuncation of European nations
that they did not interfere and stop
the butchery. Here is a situation
at our very doors many times worse.
Instead of killing the women and
outright they are letting
them dis of starvation, the most
horrible of all deaths How long,
Oh Lord, how long, will this great

ages to humanity and civilization,

ng to stop it.
