POLITICS IN THE HILLS.

EDITOR STAR:-It is not strange that
the Black Hills counties are regarded
as a unit by the remainder Of the state,
as we are SO remotely situated as to be
regarded in the light Of a colony, and
therefore to be taxed for as much of
tho expense, and given as little of the
rewards of government as possible, al
ways anticipating great things in the
way of political representation but
never realizing on more than ten per
cent. of anticipations. The strange
and exasperating part it is the monde.
script nature of the aforesaid "unit"
when we consider republican politics.
Whatever causes may have combined
to produce the what-is-it,, it seems to
be conceded that the little kingdom of
Lawrence county forms the head, and
Deadwood the brains, while the other
five counties arrange themselves to
represent the limbs and things neces-
sary to the makeup of even an ill or
ganized unit; they are not supposed to
exercise control even over themselves
but to obey willingly and unconsciously
the dictates of the brain; in short, we
are expected to look to Deadwood for
inspiration and guidance.
This idea has taken renewed shape
from the fact that it has all along been
conceded without argument or objec-
ton by the republicans throughout the
Hills counties, that Hon. Edwin Van
Ciseswas the recognized candidate for
congress, that place supposed to be
open to Il Hills man, provided he rep
resents the before mentioned "unit' in
the state convention. Now the pecu-
liar need of the Black Hills is a con-
gresham, even at the sacrifice of every
thing else, for if the republican ticket
does not present the name of q Hills
man for congress, there will result the
possibility-God forbid there should
be a probability-of the recollection of
the nonentity who misrepresents us ut
present. But at the critical moment,
in the Lawrence county convention,
the brain of u unit" had n fit, and
MIR. VanCise was repudiated, and now
the fats in the fire, and the outside
counties of the sunit" can only kick
and scratch, for without Il head there
can be no unity of action, and we have
lost oursshead. State Treasurer, Kirk
Phillips, has turned our head in his
ambition to be governor, and we must
all tamely submit, though we don't
want governor. A governor,,is largely
an ornamental official, whose chief du-
ties in ordinary times are to make elo-
quent and sentimental speeches, and
while Kirk is the prince of good fell
lows, and has made a phenome nal rec
ord as treasurer, he don't know whether
sentiment is measured by the yard or
the quart, and he can't talk for sour
apples. If our unit is to become sub
ject to fits like this it should have its
brain amputated; we have lived for the
past two years without brains-in con-
gress-and it looks like we shall con-
tinue in that condition, unless the five
brainless counties car get together and
repudiate the action of the head. The
experiment might be worth trying.

that the commanding officer thought it
wiser to put him away from the tribe.
So he locked him up in the euardhouse.
Douglas was a magnificent big speci-
men of brave, and after he had been
in his guardhouse cell for week or 30
the officer of the day recommended to
the commanding cfflcer that the Indian
be given some log exercise 10 keep him
from pining away. The commanding
officer agreed, and Douglas was led out
OF his cell to the porch running around
the second story Of the guardhouse and
shown the leg he was TO carry. Four
or five soldiers, serving guardhouse
sentences, were humping their logs
some distance away, under the eye of
sentry. Douglas looked at the log with
an expression of contempt, grunted as
If to say, Not much, won'tp and the
ttiicer OF the day, seeing that the chief
didn't want any exercise, had him
taken back to his CELL
"After thinking it over, however,
Douglas sent for the officer of the day
and told him that he was not only will
ing to pack log up and down the porch
but that he was anxious to do if. So
he was given an eighty-pound log, and
began his march up and down. The
sentry patrolling No. post, in front of
the guardhouse, was told to watch the
Indian, but the sentry didn't anticipate
any treacheIy, and so he didn't pay
much attention to the Swapping chief
walking up aud down the porch above
with the log on his shoulder. But
about ten minutes after Douglas had
begun his long patrol the sentry saw
dusky figure flying through the air
from the porch above, and by the time
he bad got his wits and saw that the
dusky figure was Douglass, the Indian
had picked himself up, and was off for
the woods, only 100 yards or so away,
like deer. The sentry gave whoop
and he yelled after the flying Indian to
halt. There wasn't any halt in Doug
lac, however, and he kept right on like
a race horse. The sentry fred after
him twice, but the Indian chief disap-
peared in the brush. Fort Leaven-
worth was big post at that time, for it
was the national school Ct application,
and there were over 1000 troops there.
They were all turned out within six
minutes after Douglas made his leap,
cavalry and infantry but it was no go,
although the sun shone brightly for
six hours after the chief made his es-
cape. They got Douglass just four
months later in Oregon, good $500

Paying Off the Troops.

One of the pleasantest features of
army life is the coming of the paymas-
ter with his gripsack full of money.
Since the declaration of war with Spain
the war department has added seventy
paymasters and twice as many clerks,
under the emergency act providing for
an increase. The work required is al
most wholly that of expert accountants.
Especially is this true of the depart
ment of the east, in New York city.

counts of the volunteers in this vicin-

not, he has to do the same amount as
is given to paymaster who has been

tours of log-humping. He'd have to
carry his log just as the men on guard
carried their rifles, in so far as hours
of duty were concerned, except that he
was permitted to sleep in at night.
The logs weighed from eighty to one
hundred pounds when the punishment
was first employed in the regular
army, but this was finally considered
too much of a good thing, and when
the log-humping punishment was
abandoned the chunks of trees only
weighed something like fifty pounds.

cream cake. This man looked like

ate sandwich and took as dessert
something that is called "fried pie" and

pastry and cake, to the exclusion of the
