TWO VIEWS OF ouR DUTY.

The public has rarely had so good an
opportunity OF contrasting the policy
dictated by Judgment and the policy
dictated by sentiment In the matter of
Cuba as by reading the statement made
a few days ago by Senator Elkins. and
that made OH Wednesday by Senator
Proctor.
The result Of Mr.. Proctor's visit 10
Cuba is that the American people have
a more intelligent comprehension OF the
conditions there than they have had
through the sensational newspapers.
whose manifest exaggeration and reek-
less generalities have made readers sus-
p.cious OF their veracitv sven when they
may have been truthful. Even the mile
description given by Senator Proctor
displays an appalling condition. II
seems absolutely incredible that in the
nineteenth century OF the Christian era
within few hours reach OF one OF the
greatest nations Of modern civilization.
such horrible condition could exist
We have been indignant at the stories
of massacres and OF suffering In Ar
nenia. and have occasionally become
warmed up over tales OF famine and
cruelty in China. but they were far Oft
and only interested US al one would be

OF adventure or travel.
This IL the frat time the atrocious ex-
trcmes 10 which mans inhumanity 10
man will go has been brought right
home To our doors. As the dominant
nation Of the Western hemisphere. as
the creator of the Monroe doc ;rine. as
the iiberator of the oppressed slave. as
the jealous guardian OF liberty. this ma
ton has assumed a responsibility which
It should not st.rk now that the decIar-

all our assaveratlons OF determination
have been only for political effect, we
will be compelled TO maintain that
sentiment may. in some degree and
under some circumstances. influence
our policy.
Senator Eikias presents that view o,
the case which appeals only 10 our
judgment in cold blood. IL we could

ton as state senator from this
county. We said slated for the
nomination-not the senate!
1T is FUSION.

The democratic county conven-
ton held in Rapid City last Satur-
day was harmonious, enthusiastic
and marked with good feeling. 1t
insured a perfect cooperation of
the reform forces of PENNINGTON
county this year, and that means
the same sweeping success which
characterized the movement two
years ago. Republicans h a d
hoped that the county democracy
would assemble, demand the lions
share of the ticket, thereby Great
ing antagonism among the popu-
lists and defeat the fusion propo-
sition. In this, however, they
have been disappointed, and the
republican ticket to be placed in
nomination in this city tomorrow
is already marked for defeat.
The UNION congratulates the
democracy of Pennington county
on the harmony, good judgment
and success of its convention. The
county campaign has started right
and a sweeping endorsement of an
honest and capable county govern
ment is bound to follow.

MR.. RODDLE "ExPLAINS,"

William H. Roddle, republican
candidate for secretary of state,
has "%explained' the charges pre-
ferred against him by members of
his own party at the republican
state convention. He was openly
accused of receiving and appro-
priating to his own personal use
fees as a member of the state
brand committee, while receiving
his salary as secretary of state.
Roddle's brand fee rake-off aggre-
gated several hundred dollars.
His "explanation" is a confess
sion of guilt. He acknowledges
that he doubted his right to the
money when he took it, and at
that time consulted an attorney
as to whether he could be forced
to disgorge in case the point was
ever brought up. Furthermore,
he employed this same attorney to
prepare his "explanation." The
point has been pretty forcibly
brought up, as Mr.. Roddle is now
painfully aware, and in his tex
planation" he agrees to refund the
state "whenever it can be proved
that these funds were unlawfullv
retained" by him. Or as the
Sioux Falls Press puts ii, "This
is my horse, but if you can prove
that the animal is yours I am rea-
dy to give it up" Thus Roddle's
"explanation" is nothing more nor.
less than un indirect confession of
guilt, coupled with a statement
that he would refund the money
taken when forced to do so by the
state. And he is the man whom
the Kittredge-railroad machine
hope to saddle onto the people of
South Dakota as secretary of state!
1t can't be done.

EASILY EXPLAINED.

Congressman Knowles thought
he was getting into a very friendly
neighborhood when he went to
Edgemont to speak, but no one
met him at the train, and no one
paid any attention whatever-so
much SO that he did not speak
there as advertised. Illuminating,
rather, we imagine. Fall River
county can't forget his gross ne
glect of the national sanitarium
bill. Hot Springs Star.
Congressman Knowles was IN a
very friendly neighborhood when
at Edgemont and the fact that he
held no meeting there is no proof
to the contrary. The bills were
printed by THE UNION and mailed
to parties at Edgemont, and either
failed to teach there or we're not
posted. So the meeting did not
take place Has advertised" for the
simple reason thtt no meeting was
advertised. His ssgross neglect
of the sanitarlum bill has been
fully EXCLAIMED in every talk he
has made in the Hills, including
the one at Hot Springs. He favor
ed the bill, worked early and late
to get it through and only gave up
when there vas no hope. 1t is
not expected, however, that repub-
lican newspapers will admit that
ne did anything for the measure.
They would rather blame him for
something for which he is in no
way responsible, SO this charge Of
..gross neglect is trumped up. 1t
is as silly as the old anarchist
cry.
And they do say that Chairman
