COPPER BOOM COLLApSES
If Causes Loss of $3.50, 900 to the
Stockholders.

A dispatch to the New York Times
from Gloucester. Mass, says: A cop
per boom that burst in Clifton, Graham
county, Ariz., has caused u loss OF
$3.50, 600 to the stockholders In this
city. About fifteen years ago com.
pany was formed by committee OF
local men and experts who reported
that they were fabulously rich, and the
stock was eagerly subscribed, many OF
the stockholders taking as large blocks
as CSC, 900.
After q while Discussions crept into
the company and two factions sprapg
up among the stockholders. Under
the mining laws of Arizona to hold
claim it must be worked to the amount
OF 800 each year. Last year when the
call for assessments to hold the proper
ty was made, but one stockholder re-
sponded.. He put up enough money to
hold three claims and the remaining
six claims were jumped by Arizona
miners. This year the remaining three
claims were allowed to lapse and we're
also jumped by the Arizona miners:
This Ia the end of S25O, 900 subscribed
by the stockholders. The mines. are
said to be profitable If worked, and
dissension smong the stockholders is
given as the cause of the collapse OF
the venture.

ohsetvance OF Memorial day this
year should he done by those sN,t.
side the ranks Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. Let that order
which. with its ranks thinned and
scattered, still represents the saw.
iours OF the nation, make known
us desires as to the manper IN
which honor shall be paid TO the
sol,!ier dead, and thea let those
who enjoy the fruits OF the great
sacrifices made at Gettysburg and
Cold Ha1bor take up the burden
and show their gratitude by aid
ing in this demonstration in honor
Of these heroes.
The observance of Memorial
day this year should be especially
impressive and full Of meaning.
There are new graves to be strewn
and the events OF the past year
have added to the nations list OF
true heroes. Let business cares
be forgotten and a grateful people
ioin hands with the wearers Of the
blue and the gray IN paying trib.
ute to those passed away. No
demonstration It this time IS a
fitting reward for the heroes Of the
rebellion-northern or southern
nor does it repay those who faced
Spanish bullets at FL Caney,
Santiago, or in the Philippines, but
it does express the gratitude in
the heart Of every true and loyal
American for these sacrifices so
nobly made.
Let us do our duty.

New Trusts.

The formation Of trusts is going
on SO rapidly that it is difficult to
see what will he left outside for the
new century to begin business on.
A gigantic copper trust is one of
the latest and it will put up the
price of copper not less than so
per cent. Its operations are not
confined to the United States, but
cover every important copper pro-
perty in the world. Its profits are
already estimated at 20 per cent
on the enormously watered capital.
A leading bicycle manufacturer
says that of the three products
which principally enter into the
making of bicycles, namely steel,
brass and rubber, bicycle steel has
gone up 100 per cent since Dec. l.,
brass 50 per cen and rubber SO
per cent, while bicycles have not
gone up in price at all. But the
bicycle manufacturers are them
selves endeavoring to form a trust
and will probably be able to do it.

ing under foot of our most precious
principles, this headlong rush to
the destruction Of our own liberties
by the imperial plotters, followed
by a crowd wild with the deadly
delirium Of conquest.
And these imperial plotters now
have the unspeakable effrontery to
set themselves up as the only 10y

shaken by the disclosure Of the
undercurrent OF sober public
opinion they are now making great
preparations for "loyalis." dem

much everything else into the
clutches Of trusts, they now pro-
pose to organize themselves into a
loyalty trust as preliminary to a
complete monopoly not only Of all
the loyalty, but all the liberty in
the land. Already their design
upon the latter shows itself in their
denial Of freedom Of speech and
their closing Of the mails against

as Unreasonable and seditious."

The Situation Stated.

Last year the president called to-
gether a number of the leading bankers
in the United States. and with the in
valuable assistance of Banker Gage
these financial worthless agreed upon
a scheme and submitted it to Congress.
The pain in all of its features is dis
tinctly Republican and will command
the full support of the party. Ex-Presi-
dent Garfield, who recognized the al
mighty power Of banking institutions,
once said: "1ell me who furnishes the
medium Of exchange e and I will tell you
who governs that country" Whatever
may have been the virtues and excel
~lencies of the republican party in its
past history, we will o be accused of
libel when we declare that an aristoc-
racy Of wealth has got control Of the
republican organization. Gold stand
ard robbers, trusts, interest gatherers,

licans to continue them in power-Cin-

To Our Readers.

When THE UNION came into the
hands Of its present editor and
proprietor it was small in size,
neglected editorially and was
about as near a journalistic corpse
as a newspaper could be and still
appear once each week. Since
that time it has doubled in size,
has. forged to the front rank of
Black Hills newspaperdom and is
now paying its owner a fair return
for mis- labor and expenditure.
The old subscription price of $500
per year has remained the same
and most Of its friends have stood
manfuily by it in its ups and
downs.
AT this time The UNION desires
to remind its rapidly growing
ar nyofreaders that the expense
Of publication is considerable and
that owing to the increased size Of
the paper and its general improve
ment editorially and otherwise the
subscription price will be raised to
$I.5o per year on July Ist. Up
to that date subscriptions will be
received at the old rate Of SI.oo
and arrearages may be squared on
that basis, but after July 1st the
rate will be 81. so to all. We feel
that the paper is worth this money
and is cheap at that. As in the
past, we will hew to the line, fight
ing Ithe battles Of the common
people and opposing trust robbery,
tile gold standard, imperialism and
IN that constitutes modern repub
licanism. That is our policy and
We expect to uphold it most Wig

phase Of the case.

That rotten beef was furnished
the soldiers in the field has been
proven by sworn testimony before
the board Of inquiry. That the
canned roast beef dealt out was an
experiment is admitted by the
board itself. That it was nauseat.
ing, unfit for use and that it bred
disease among the troops has also
been proven by worn testimony.
That in scores Of cases it caused
death there can he no doubt.
But according to this board of
inquiry no n is to blame in par.
ticular. No punis hment is dealt
out to anyone. Cheap censures
form the horrible penalty inflicted.
And this is the report which Viii.
liam Mckinley approves, says is
just and from which there is no
appeal! He attaches his approval
to this whitewash OF criminals and
and shielding Of incompetents!
But he and his ring Of rovalyt must
face the people next year. This
beef controversy involves points
too grave to forgive or forget.

Pettiorew's Pointed Query.

We have started upon y career of
conquest rather than n Of internal
improvement. Many Of our people and
the Administration believe that it is OF
great bt nefit to this country that we
should annex $1,000, 10000 people in the
Philippines 10, 1000 900 people who live
in the Tropics, where the white man
cannot live, and where self-govern-
ment, as understood by 10 and under
our constitution, cannot exist. In
stead of spending hundreds of millions
In conqnering the Philippines, would
it not be better economy and better
business judgment to spend it in re-
claiming the arid lands of the west,
covering them with QUE own race, a
people capable of self.government, add
ing tenfold to the commerce of this
country, than can possibly be secured
by the acquisition of the tropical coun-
tries we are now trying to conquer
and occupy?-U. S. Senator r. F. Pet

Change in Craftsmanship.

Chairman Jones Of the national
democratic committee has gone to
Europe for his health. He has
turned the active work of the exc
cutive committee over to Col. I.
G. Johnson, national committee
man from Kansas. Col. Johnson
was one of the most capable men
connected with national head
quarters at Chicago and will keep
things moving. And a queer
thing about it is that the republi-
can managers are just discovering
that the democratic national COM
nittee has been keeping up quiet
but effective work for the last
eighteen months; party lines have
been strengthened, and there are
marked signs that the lethargy
which allowed the party to be
swamred in eastern states in 1896
has passed away. Bryan's recent
visit has stirred things up, Balti-
more has just buried its Republi
can mayor under a 9ooo adverse
majority. The Chicago platform
seems to be a pretty live issue
after all.
