1t is amusing to think of Senator
Pettigrew as an anti-railroad man. His
entire legislative career in South Da-
kota vas devoted to railroad interests.
No man in South Dakota was ever a
more obedient servant to corporation
interests than he. No man in South
Dakota ever received more favors from
the railroads than he. His friends in
South Dakota were railroad attorneys
and railroad lobbyists aud his TRADE
against the railroads is only used to
deceive the people. He has not & word
to say against the North Western but
The Milwaukee comes in for violent
abuse. Yet the two roads charge the
same for every passenger and forevery
ton of freight handled. They use the
same methods to gain their ends and
are competitive lines only in name.
The reason why the senator shows es-
pecial kindness to the North Western
is said to be found in the fact that he
travels over that system on a pass
Huronite.

Maj. G. Boyd Barrett, editor of the
Aberdeen Pioneer, n of the most
radical anti-republican men in the
state, doesn't like the twaddle that
some of his people are trying to make
an issue about. He says i nthe Pioneer:
"Now that the various state tickets
have been placed in the field, the plans
for carrying on the campaign are be-
in5 outlined. 1t has been decided by
at least one of the political organiza-
tions that a good way to fool the peo-
pie and attract votes for their ticket is
to make a concerted yell against the
railroads. One of the easiest things
for a demagogue to do is to howl about
the railroads. The west is full of hay
fed blatherskites who look upon the
roads as legitimate prey to be held up
and robbed, and if a railroad should at
tempt to protect itself against these
leeches, they have commissions, and
they raw and rant about RAILROAD ma
chine" Corporation rule" ETC., until
they turn black in the face gasping for
more breath"

out enlightenment. But he had at last
discovered the true meaning of the re-
form. He found that last year, the
newspaper business being somewhat
lax, Chairman Kidd of the Pop state
committee, had gone out into the coun-
try and bought potatoes from the farm
ers, giving them checks in payment.
That vas the initiative. Later the
farmers came into town and presented
the checks at the banks. They were
promptly thrown out for lack of funds.
The indignant grangers went to Mr..
Kidd for an explanation and he told
them to go to Hades. That was the
referendum.

"A Ne w Railway in Montana.

The completion of the Northern Pa
cifc Ry., from White Hall, Mont, to
Twin Bridges, Mont, a distance of
twenty six miles, opens up to both the
miner and farmer the limitless re-
sources of the famous jefferson Valley,
rich both in the quantity and quality
OF its mineral deposits and in the fer
tility of its soil which for farming is
equal to any in Montana. The three
rivers which enter the valley separate
ly but unite before going very far, fur
nish an abundance of pure water for
all the present and future needs of the
valley.
Twin Bridges is situated inthe north
western corner of Madison county at
the head of the beautiful jefferson
Valley. On either hand are mountain
ranges stretching away in the distance;
here the contentment and freedom of
the farmers life is contrasted with the
business activity of the miners voca-
tion: to the right the eye beholds herds
of cattle and horses grazing on grass
covered hills while here and there the
mil err is hard ut work extracting from
the earth its precious metals.
Just at present the mining industry
is most prominent gold being the
principal metal taken from the ground,
but with the Northern Pacific com
pleted and in operation to Twin Bridg-
es. the farmer and miner alike will
prosper beyond anything heretofore
possible.
To the owners of mines the railway
will be of inestimable value and the in.
inN OF capital an! consequent intro
dnction of cheaper and more modern
mining methods, will be a Godsend to
nnlnberles miners who have hundreds
OF tons of low grade ore that could not
before he handled with profit owing to
the expense of hauling to the railway
by wagon.
AS a place of residence this valley
has found favor with many of Mon.
tana's prominent people and the num-
Der of pretty little towns with their
comfortable homes, scattered here and
there, bear evidence of its popularity.

LIKE a o OF SHEEP.

The American people are like u flock
of sheep. They follow n leader in any
direction that he may take. They read
too much and think too little. They
fail to comprehend that we engaged in
var with a nation fully prepared for
the contest, while we were totally I'M
prepared; that an army of a quarter of
Il million men was put into the field,
equipped, supplied with medical stores
and ammunition, and were put into
camps in charge of officers who we're
supposed to understand their business.
The people forget that many of the
men in the army, according to their
own statements and those of their off,
GERS, failed to pay careful attention to
ordinary sanitary requirements; that
they looked upon the war more as a
pleasure excursion than anything else;
that they were as careless of their
health in camp as they were reckless of
their lives on the battle field; and all
this, while living under conditions and
in a climate that required tho exercise
of unusual precautions.
We detract not one jot from the
splendid bravery of our soldiers when
We SAY this. Nor do we excuse or
palliate the shortcomings of subordin-
ates, who have clearly failed to rise to
the requirements of emergencies. But
justice to President Mckinley, to Sec
rotary Alger, and to the commanding
generals Of our forces compels as to
enter a protest against the effort {,
impeach an administration thai de-
serves, and has won, the confidence, re-
spect. and gratitude of the American
peoJ le.-Leslie's Weekly.

a Hot Springs correspondent to the
Deadwood Independent says that sthe
Soldiers Home from a two to one pro-
portion in favor of gold in 1896 has
switched around until it is about an
even break 1t is difficult to tell up
on what that correspondent bases his
opinion. Surely he does not think
that merely because the commandment
is an appointee of Gov. Lee. and there
fore a silver partisan, that the men,
bers of the Home are mostly going to
follow his dictates. Col. Linn himself
would hardly be so foolish us to think
that. The old soldiers have too much
of an opinion of their own to be
switched about. SO easily as that-a
fact which will soon be demonstrated
a. the polls.

Tommy Ayres, who has charge ofthe
governors office, and who is running
the "Reform Bureau at Pierre, orders
the pop papers of the state to pound
the railroads, for says he, sit isour sal
walton in this fight" That's right, we
don't want any railroads anyway. We
a haul wheat and drive our cat
tie to market cheaper than we can ship
them, and people who want to come to
Hot Springs can come by stage coach
as they used to do in those good old.
times, or else walk-or ride a bike; the
ride, or walk, would no doubt boa good
thing for rheumatics aud sickly people
anyway. And then if they came so far
as this overland they might stay longer
rather than walk home. If we had
no railroads the eastern Dakota farmer
might get a bigger price for his wheat
you know, if he hauled it by wagon to
Minneapolis-and in fact the only
good reason there is for permitting
railroads to do business in South Da-
kota is that it gives the tri-fusionista n
issue at every campaign-"pound the
railroads"
Seriously, and as a matter of fact,
there are two sides to this railroad
question-and there is also a fair equa-
librium, a half way point by which the
people and the railroads may get JUS
tice. We believe some of the leaders
of the populist party would, if it we're
in their power, compel every South
Dakota railroad to quit business or run
so cheaply that their tracks and their
rolling stock would become dilap-
idated and dangerous, and pass
engers would travel in mixed
(freight) trains instead of fast passen-
ger trains. On the other hand there
are those who no doubt go to the other
extreme and favor that which is wholly
to the interest of the railroads regard
less of the peoples interests-and some
who have lone so are now posing as
chief populists. We believe the re-
publican party seeks to deal fairly by
all concerned, to the end that all may
live and prosper according to the hon
est energy and effort put forward. BY
bowling pound the railroads will not
convince the people that the popu-
list party has the only honest and
fair men.

Why don't the Herald editor "stand
up and explain" why he stands on his
head when he writes for his paper?
When he answers this he might ex-
plain why he asks Il whole lot of miser-
able insinuating, rejecting questions,
about which there isn't n shadow of
foundation, and which therefore need
no reply. Simply because someone
may ask Editor Ames why he thrusts
his head into II swill barrel three times
a day? does not necessarily prove that
he does such Il thing, or even thinks of
it, though he might find it difficult to
prove to the public that he does not do
such a thing.

The old doctrine, "to the victors be-
long the spoils," is popular. 1t should
not be forgotten by county OF state Of
ticers who hold positions through the
active work of men of their political
faith.-Deadwood Independent.
Well, that doesn't seem to suit all of
you good populist people Aonly whom
it comes their way. When a fellow is
in, its hard to get out-for some peo-
pie. We remember when the Rapid
City land Office was in charge of demo-
Gratis the STAR couldn't get a final
proof n~otice-even when people de-
manded that it be given to the STAR.
But we made no kick, and didn't offer
to print them for nothing in order to
get them either. We thought the "vic-
tors' were entitled to them and that
there might come a time some da Y
when there would be a change. There
did, but behold the other fellows feared
the final proof notices would go to the
party papers, just as they had, and
therefore to make a good argument
for getting some of them, they cut the
price fsom SO to 81. This was in the
interest of the poor fellows who have
to make final proof, of course, but they
forgot to makethe reduction until their
party was defeated and their officers
mvst go. The clipping from the indie
pendent is all right, though, and we
commend it to the earnest considera-
ton of all pop papers.
