dier. While he was. being lied about
and ''this policy of delay" groaned over
and denounced, Mckinley was rapidly
getting ready. Orders were quietly given
to the powder mills, and ammunition
factories to work night and day. Sc.
cret commissions were set to work get
ting options on vessels. Every detail
was looked after and every preparation
made. Mckinley purposely delayed
the outbreak in order to put the army
and navy and coast defenses in shape.
They were not quite ready when war
was actually declared. It would have
saved us hundreds of thousands of
dollars if the declaration could have
been postponed u few weeks longer
for every day was full of preparation
and important. These facts are given
out, now that they can do no injury to
the American cause. They show how
little the red-faced politicians of the
Judge Cherry stripe really know about
it and how unwise it is for a chap to
talk so much and so loudly about what
he really knows SO little. A declara-
ton of war six weeks earlier than it
came, would have been serious bust
ness for us, for we were wholly unpre-
pared for it. Talk is cheap; but it
takes powder and ball to fight.-Argus-

A Rig Price For a Ride,

In The Century there is an article on
"The River Trip to the Klondike'' by
John Sidney Webb. The author says of
his trip to the mines:
And here let me- make q confession-I,
with others, rode a horse. No one can
imagine what q sensation this created
along the creek. No one had eyer in
obliged i'll such extravaganza before.
Though a nan should wash out $40, 600
in a day, he would be content to walk.
But l rode ut 30 cents per pound to Ell
Dorado and 30 cents to return, or 1856
pounds for SLIGO. They did not, how
ever, put me on the scales like a sack
of gold dust. Still, it was cheap, &C.

you know it was cheap" "Oh, any

Can,t Tell rheir uu.band. Apart,

Jim Hisey, aged 4e. is a prosperous
grain dealer in Yale. He has a wife,
two sons and a daughter. Will Hisey,
aged 4s, his brother. lives at Sparta.
He is also married. The two men are
twins, and all through life have been
the living duplicates of each other. So
near alike are they even their wives
cannot tell them apart. They dress
alike, their voices are alike and their
hair and mustaches have the same color
and curls. When boys, they had to be
tagged SO that their parents and teach
ers would know the difference. When
Jim gets q crick in the back, Will is
liable to have the same complaint, aud
when Will gets the rheumatism Jim al
SO gets it precisely in the same place.
They were formerly both engaged in the
milling business and served an appren-
ticeship under the same a They
were born in western Ontario, their
parents being Jacob and Betsy Hisey.
Jim's wife has only one way in which
she can tell her husband from his BROTH
er. He has q slight curve in u of his
fingers, which has to be held up in full
view. Then he must give q password
before he is received into full fellowship

In February the STAR expressed the
hope that the Black Hills might unite
upon a republican candidate for on
gress, who would not only he Il
credit to the party, but also to
the state. We are nov assured tina.
such u man has been prevailed upon
to become a candidate in the person of
Hon Edwin Van else of Deadwood
He will have the support of lawrence
county and there is no reason why he
should not have the support of every
Black Hills county. He is of the
ablest men in the state, Il loyal and de-
serving republican, who would honor
South Dakota in congress. With a
United Blacks Hills delegation the
nomination of n congressman from this
portion of the state can certainly be
effected. Thus a populism, as rep
resented in Freeman Knowles, be de-
feated in the Hills.
