5 5 Hanna seems to have some
unruly patriots out in Utah. At
the republican convention in that
state held at Salt Lake City on
September 10th the following dec
laration was made on the silver
question:
independent of the action of any
other nation, we favor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio Of rs to I.
Strange as it may seem, that is
a part OF the republican state plat
form of Utah. 1t appears that the
.silver craze" is hardly dead out
that way, even in the republican
camp.

!. Here is a point or two on Pen
nington county history: When the
.sblight Of popullsm" settled down
on this county two years ago war
rants were SLOW sale at so cents on
/. the dollar. Today they are in de-
mand at S. cents. Furthermore,
this is the arst year in the history
of Pennington county that the
county's Indebtedness has been
decreased. And Tbs UNION
might call attention to the fact
that the running expenses of the
couaty have been reduced from
s5a,ooo per year under republican
rule to $4,000 under populisn.
Figures won't lie if you treat them
right.

soon as they reduced rates the
railroad companies ran to the fed
eral judge for an injunction. The
injunction has been heard and the
aston of the railway commission
ers sustained in TOTO"
Now what does this show? 1t
shows that the eyes the the entire
country were conferred on the con-
test for the sustenance of the very
railroad law which the Journal de-
clares the fusionists did not enact.
The law was sustained and the
credit for the victory belongs to
the silver forces of South Dakota.
That is precisely what ais the
Journal and the rest of the repub-
lican calamity howlers.
The present railroad law in this
state is a bad one from a republi-
can standpoint because it has
stood the test of the courts and
will afford relief to shippers and
the geneaI public from railroad ex-
tortion. Furthermore, it is the
only law regulating freight and
passenger rates in any state in the
Union that has been sustained bv
the courts. So much has been said
in regard to who is responsible for
our present excellent railroad law
that The UNION feels justified in
quoting the words of that stalwart
republican, John Sutherland of
Hughes county. In speaking of
A. B. kittrrege and the republican
leaders in this state he saws:
"Mr. kittredge is in the position
OF an attorney who takes both
sides of a case. No honorable at
torney would do so and no self re-
speeding person a occupy the
two positions held at this time by
Mr.. kittredge. No one can for
one moment hope that he and his
political associates will in good
faith carry out the pledges of the
republican party for railroad legis-
latlon. To the opposition (the
tusionlsts) is due the credit for
such railroad Legislation as has
been enacted. The opposition
conceived it, fought for it aud car
rled it through. When the repub-
llcan leaders saw that the Palmer
bill must inevitably pass, then, for
the purpose Of making a sham rec.
ord, and not till then, did they
support the bill. For them to
now claim that the credit for such
legislation belongs to the rerubli-
can party is rank hypocrisy. A
machine SO dishonest in it's
claims is likely, in the same ratio,
to be dishonest in fulfilling its
Pledges
Mr.. Sutherland's testimony null
lihes and lays bare the hypocritical
deceit of the republican platforms
declaration on the railroad ques-
ton this year. In 1894 when the
republicans had the governor and
both branches Of the legislature, a
bill practically the same as the
Palmer law was introduced at the
beginning of the session and was
referred to the senate railroad com
mittee, of which Mr.. kennedy
(now rewarded with appointment
as U. S. marshal of South Dakota)
was chairman, and it being under
stood that the populist and demo
cratic memhars would II

THAT LAW.

The fusion forces in the state are
circulating and posting large post
ers declaring that the railroad ques-
ton is the paramount question be-
fore the people in the state at this
election. The fusion party had a
large majority in the last state leg
islature, being in control in both
branches, bur with this large ma
jority they failed to pass the laws
they are now advocating. The
question % naturally arises,
would they, if again given control,
adopt any laws that would relieve
the people from the unjust discrim-
ination Of the railroads? They
would repeat the plan they so sue
cessfully worked upon the railroads
two years ago by demanding and
receiving transportation for them
selves and re latives as the price
for allowing the present railroad
laws to remain in force in the state.
Rapid City Journal.
THE UNION would be glad if cir
cumstances would permit it to &C
cuse the Journal of ignorance on
the subject Of railroad legislation
in South Dakota. We would be
glad to let it down that easy. But
inasmuch as the plea of ignorance
will not hold, there remains but
one avenue open to The UNION
and that is to charge the Journal
with wilfully disappearing and
falsifying the true facts in the case.
We would respectfully refer the
Journal to Chapter no, Pages 26S
to ESQ, Session Laws of 1907,
which includes As sections over
ing the making of rates, classical
rion, and prohibiting discrimina-
tlons-a law recommended in the
fusion platforms of 1896, passed
by the fusion forces in the legisla-
ture of 1897, signed by a governor
elected by the fusionists and sus-
tanned in the courts through the
untlrlng efforts of a board of fusion
railway commissioners. THE
UNION heartily agrees with the
Journal when that paper says that
it is the intention of the fusionists
to ''allow the present railroad laws
to remain in force They will re-
NAN in force and BE ENFORCED in
spite of all republican opposition.
And we would ask the Journal to
point out the state that has a bet
ter railroad law than South Dako-
ia.
In is effort to secure campaign
material the Journal is not even in
line with the political party which
it is supposed to representa- it
ever represented anything, politi-
cally. While it condemns the
present law, the platform which it
pretends to endorse contains this
plank:
"We rejoice in the passage by
the last Legislature of the Iowa
railroad law.
We pledge II nominees for rail
road commissioner and attorney
general 70 also work and carry on
the contest TO a successful termna-
tlon."
That is from the republican
state platform and makes clear the
Journals rank inconsistency, also
demonstrating the absolute neces-

Republicans are doing a hot job
OF kicking because the silver forces
persist in making the railroad prob
lem the leading issue in the state
campaign. That's reason enough
why the reform managers should
not allow the railroad question to
be side-tracked for anything else.

Daniel Lopez a barber about 26 years
of age, was found in a semi-conscious
condition on the summit Of White pass
last Thursday afternoon. He was taken
to a neighboring cabin but died before
reaching it. Lopez left Skaguay on
Tuesday morning for Lake Bennett,
where he proposed to open barber
shop. He had dog and a sleigh on
which he carried his blankets and pro-
visions. When found on Thursday af-
ternoon he was lying in the snow with
his tent over him. Near by was his
blankets, which had not been unrolled.
How long he lay there can only be sur
missed, as when he was found he was
delirious. When found his dog was
guarding him, and it was with some diff
ficulty that the animal was beaten off.
Lopez's body was brought to Skaguay

REASON FOR ACTING
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. CIV. NJ.
Rank of San Francisco, who arrived
here today from Dawson, which place he
left December 16, gives the following
particulars of an attempt by mob at
Fort Yukon to seize the warehouses of
the Alaska Commercial company and the
North American Trading and Trans
portation company. The particulars
were brought to Dawson by Fred Gosch
on October 2S. One hundred and fifty
men went to the trading companies and
demanded that they be given a years
supplies on credit. They said that they
would pay for them with work in the
mines at Klondike next season. The
companies refused, after a consultation
with Captain Ray. On the following day
the mob gave notice that unless its de-
mands We're complied with, the ware
houses would be seized. Captain Ray.
when informed of this, hoisted the
United States flag over both warehouses
and, placing Lieut. Richardson in COM
mand of one, took possession of the 9TH
er and proclaimed martial law. Captain
Ray swore in a force of % men to aid
him in protecting the property.

The volunteers will not be disarmed.
nor will they 60 into the field to fight the
insurgents as some of the Spanish pa
pers have demanded.
The volunteers, having shown their
hostility to autonomy and strengthened
their position, are not disposed to en-
courage further disturbances.
The next crisis seems likely to come
over the military campaign. A show
must be made of operations in the field.
The army has been Modified by the press
law and the other means taken by the

The certainty that the ring leaders IN the
riot will not be punished keeps 1t In good

the government, the army knows It's
power.
General Blanco cannot continue the
policy of conciliating the insurgents II
he is to have the support OF his own
troops. They are quietly demanding

by this time. The Conservative news
papers, in a guarded way, encourage It,
They put the case that Spain's sovcr-
eighty in Cuba rests on the army and
not on autonomy and, this being so, the
wishes of the army should be followed

Consul General Lee is receiving very
full reports from all parts Of the island
about the attitude of the Spanish prop
erty-owners. The disturbances in Hav-
ana have increased their lack Of conf
dence in the government, while their
fears of what would happen under in
surgent success are not lessened.
They want the intervention of the
United States. Private declarations of
their sentiments are voluminous. They
do not put their wishes on record and all
the Consuls can do is to report the
wishes of the Spanish property owning
class to the State Department. In the
country declarations are made more en-
phatic than in Havana. Here the gov
ernment has given blunt hint to the
leaders who some time ago started a
movement to ask for an American pro-
tectorate and they remain quiet. Their
sentiments, however, are not changed
and their purpose is not altered, but they
await a better opportunity.

have been mounting guns and some Of
these are of much heavier calibre than
any the American army can bring into
play. Some of their guns are of anti
quated pattern and not capable of much
damage, but others are very different
and capable of excellent work. One
seven-inch gun, which had so perfect
range during the battle of San Juan
of many ridges occupied by the Ameri-
can troops, has been located with espe-
cial care by the American gunners, and
it will be the recipient of much attention
when hostilities reopen.

When hostilities are opened by the
bombardment, great things are expected
from the navy. Admiral Sampson is
quoted throughout the army as saying
that he will drop one shell into the city
every five minutes, and if that is not
sufficient to do the work he will drop one
into the city every two minutes. The
fire, in addition to what the land forces
will turn in, it is thought will be suffi-
cient to reduce the Spaniards to point
where they will surrender.

THE WOUNDED AT TAMPA
TOLD THEIR EXPERIENCES WHILE UNDER
THE SURGEONS HANDS.
The Effect of Wounds inflicted by The Bullets
of Mausers--AII the Men are
Doing Well.

Tampa. Fla, July 10.-The transports
Iroauois and Cherokee, arriving last
night, brought four hundred and fifty
wounded men from Santiago. These
have been distributed to-day to positions
| on shore and the transports are await
ing orders.
AT daylight the long train of hospital
cars was thrown open for the reception
of those who were going to Ft. McPher-
son and 223 men were placed aboard.
Eighty seven were sent to the general
hospital of the Fourth army corps, and
the surgeons there had their first expe
rience in dressing war wounds. The
sufferers were treated with the greatest
consideration, and while they lay upon
the rough pine table they gave an ac-
count of their wounds, and how they
were received and what effect they had
on them. Invariably when the Mauser
bullets struck they were knocked down,
but suffered little The holes seemed to
have been neatly drilled through the
flesh or bone, making no laceration. On
~ one man brought over was unable to
walk. all the others having sufficiently
recovered to do so.
The wounds were mainly in the HANDS,
arms and feet Men with their feet
bundled in white cloths and their arms
in sings were in abundance, but although
they must have suffered, they were hap
py. They talked good naturedly of the
fight and, spoke highly of the enemy.
Many of them have souvenirs, such as
machetes, Mauser bullets, some having
retained the bullets that wounded them.
One mans rifle was struck, the bullet
DETECTING and wounding him in the arm
1t made an ugly wound on account of
the bullet being fattened.
The surgeons in charge report all the
men doing well.
The special train left for Fort Me-
Pherson at noon to-day and the balance
of the wounded will leave on the same
train next Tuesday.
