The Deadwood Independent has sheen
sold to a Corporation and the cor
poration has let the contract for its
printing to another corporation-the
Pioneer-Times, republican newspaper.
At first the good populists evidently
misun derstood the combination that
Congressman Knowles had gotten his
paper mixed up in, for the next day
both the Independent and Pioneer
Times devoted considerable space to
explaining the why's and wherefores of
the deal in order to satisfy them that
the Independent was going to remain
true to populism. And then the popu-
lists in convention had to endorse the
action to make it still more
acceptable to the people. Although it
makes a pretty close corporation out of
the newspaper business up %there-and
populists have such a mortal hatred of
such things-it is no doubt q pretty
sensible business proposition for. all
concerned.

A Big Price For . Ride.

In The Century there is an article on
''The River Trip to the Klondike" by
John Sidney Webb. The author says ot
his trip to the mines:
And here let me make a confession-i,

imagine what a sensation this created
along the creek. No one had ever in.
dulged in such extravaganza before.
Though q man should wash out $40, 900
in a day, he would be content to walk.
But I rode ut 30 cents per pound to Ell

A PROBLEM FOR THE PARTY.

With no disparagement of MIR. Phil
fps. the Spirit deeply regrets the set
back to Mr.. Van Cise in Lawrence
county. MIR. Phillips candidacy inthe
convention complexities the situation
both there and at the polls, while Mr..
VanCise, coming in as the Hills candi-
date, would have simplified both. A
nominee for governor in that region
will not strengthen the ticket. They
will take the governor but will want IA
congressman none the less, and will
vote for Knowles, as better than none.
Without reference to it's own wishes
the Spirit is firmly of the opinion that
the next governor will hail from east
of the river and one congressman from
west of it. We as republicans may
take them both, or lose either or both,
as We act wisely or unwisely.-Spirit of
Dakota.

KIRK PHILLIPS SPLENDID RECORD.

A special to the Sioux City Journal
from Pierre says that it is a matter of
interest to all South Dakotans that in
the group ofnorthwest states South Da-
kota is the only one which has mater
tally reduced its debt in the past four
years. The management of the state
finances by Treasurer Phillips has Civ
on the state a financial standingamong
the best in the financial houses of the
east. Beginning with an empty treas
ury, Treasurer Phillips has taken up
all the Indebtedness which bears over
5 per cent. of interest. and by the end
of this year there will be but little if
any outstanding debt, bearing over AZ
per cent. AS an instance of the fnan.
cial standing at this time, a firm Of
New York brokers who are holding one
of the few blocks of AZ and 5 per cents,
which are yet out, have made a propo-
sition to the treasury to fund their
securities into 80 bonds providing
they can get an extension of the time
for which they are to run. With four
more years Of the state finances the
state would be practically out of debt.

Some of the pop papers, like the

ago because the Grigsby cowboy rcei-
ment wasn't sent to- the front, and
said they were he'll! buck because the
Colonel was a populist and was not in

TALMAGE is DELIGHTED.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage passed
through Omaha the other day enroute
west, and was interviewed by a World
Herald reporter, to whom he talked in
q very encouraging way. He discussed
the successes of the war, and the pro.
bable outcome, in part as follows:
"We started into free Cuba; that will
be done, and much more. In war it is
always so-the conquering power gets
largely more than the first cause of
contention. Cuba will be free; Porto
Rico will be ours, and the Philippines
left for a commission to settle. Porto
Rico is q grand country-healthful,
beautiful, picturesque and productive.
am delighted with the outcome, with
the splendid victories by land and sea
and especially the latter-and the
terms of peace are such as no sensible
and country loving man could find
fault with. We are nearing the close
of the century: and strangely true it is,
a grand close has characterized the
close of almost every century in the

The triumph Of Danny.

Several years before the discovery Of
oil at Pithole an Irishman named Mo-
earthly and his son Dan came to this
country from the Emerald Isle. Dan
was a young ma of 30, but his father
looked upon him as q mere boy and
seemed to tako delight in ridiculing
him before people.
"Yis, Dan is good BY" he would
say sarcastically. "but, Danny, me by.
yez'M niver set the river on fire."
This was his stock witticism, and il
annoyed Dan very much, but he did his
best and soon surprised. the old gentle
man by secnrin.; u lucrative job.
"Yis, Danny has q job all right" he
said. "It's $3.50 u day, hat the b'y'll
niver set the river on fire. Not he."
When Oil was found at Pitlaole, Dan
hurried to the scene and was soon earn.

barrels, and teams were in great de-
mand. lie saved his money. bought an
acre of land and soon had well drilled

shook his head ominously.

croaked; "ye're dom we'll, but mark me

A few days later a flood wrecked one
of Dams small wooden tanks, the oil
ran down the river, and there was great
excitement. AS Dan aud his father stood
on tho bank watching the oil float away
Dan drew u match and lighted it.
