The Whirl of Life.

Here IL what caught reporters eye
In a two minutes study of the streets
of New York on down town corner.
On the sidewalk, three urchins, evil
of face, industriously shooting" craps.
From the doorway of frowsy saloon,
ten yards away, a gray haired woman
issuing with jug of beer, though it
was only 10 o'clock in the morning.
A burly iceman and negro roustabout
discussing, loudly and with much pro-
family, the advantages of each others
Jobs. A whir and rattle OF wheels
and an undertaker's wagon drives up
to the door of n modest red brick
tenement A white coffin, three feet
long, is brought out and received by a
venerable old man, with a flowing
white beard, who comes to the door
coatless and in slippers. You then
notice for the first time the knot Of
white ribbon on the door handle. The
old man tucks the diminutive casket
under his arm and retires within, fol-
lowed by the undertaker's men. He is
solemn, but fearless. There is
story there somewhere-the slippered
patriarch in the final stage of life per-
forming the last dolorous Offices for
one lost in it's beginning.
And over on the dock are the hue
and hustle, the scurry and scamper in
cidental to the getting to sea Of the
great ship. Sharp are the. contrasts Of

The three great features of Christ
mas day are the tree, the dinner and
the bills. The tree is for the children,
the dinner for the older members OF

bills-the bills are for 'pa" alone. This

Old Dances In Old Times.

the dances used by our forefathers.

Scenery TINT Acts.

Scenery that acts! Ii Wagner had
wrought no other revolution on the
operatic stage, he would deserve our
gratitude. Take for purpose of COM
parison the vessel in "EAfricaine"
and the ship in the first act of Tristan
and Isolde.' The former shows the
section of a vessel as neatly divided
into various compartments as box of
seed samples. If the scene is well
to rumble and the ship begins
to roll, the women Shrek in their com.

and the savages whose canoes would

Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild, arc sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, goodwill to menl
And thought how. az the de- y had come,
The belfries OF all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
or peace on earth goodwill to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day.
A voice, q chime,
A chant sublime
'Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
or peace on earth, goodwill to menl
1t was as II an earthquake rent
The hearth. stones Of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
or peace on earth, goodwill TO men
And in despair bowed my head;
'"There Is no peace on EARTH" l said;
''For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, good. will to menl"
Then pealed the bells more loud andk deep;

HOW TO KILL TRUSTS.

Prosperity.


y the Destruction of National
Z: Prosperity
y The struggle now going on in
(: the industrial and business cen-
N tiers of this country is not new in

y cation itself. There has been a
4 perpetual conflict between good
y and evil. The farmer enriches

y grows rank weeds, but if he is

y to give his crops the better chance
Z; to grow.
)lI The two great political parties
&: offer two solutions for the exter-
II mination of the weeds of com

y cratic party says abolish the pro-
8 tectlve tariff. They admit that

D they say the trusts have taken ad-
4 vantage of the good times, and
D are trying to choke Legitimate
\' competition. Therefore make

8 kill the trusts.
j The republican party says kill
8 the trusts, but don't impovish the
n business field Make war on the
S weeds, but keep hauling on the
y dressingr.ss'
81 The difference in methods will
j be appreciated by the intelligent
s farmers. The farmer who would
u try to rid his farm of weeds by
Sa burning up his manure, by refus-
vi ing to cultivate his farm and keep
Slit IN the. best possible condition,
}, on the theory that the only way
\ to kill the weeds would be to make
\ the land so poor that it would not
raise anything, weeds included---
: would be considered crazy. But
he would be just as sane as is the
democratic proposition to kill the
trusts. The fact that trusts PROS
per is an indication of general
good times. The policy of wis
dom is to let the conditions alone,
but to make trusts unlawful. This
is what the republicans propose
Ito do.
The democrats would make
times SO very hard that honest
labor could not find employment,
that free soup houses would be
necessity---just as they were in
the last democratic administra-
tion---thereby hoping to starve
the trusts.
But the sIrewd farmer knows
that the last thing in his field to-
surrender to the frosts and the
j sand is the weeds He turns the
cultivator on the weeds and makes
the soil more productive. He sees
no sense in running his farm to
abolish the weeds.
The same principle should hold
good in the business world. Laws
that bring. work for Americans, |
that make markets for American
products, are not bad, even if |
trusts take advantage of good |

Ex-State Auditor Nipple. who is now
the editor of the State Register, is out
in all article advocating the extending
Of special inducements to any railroad
company who will construct line
across the reservation from the Missouri
river to the Black Hills. This is move
in the right direction, and We heartily
second the motion. A railroad to the
Missouri river, in direct line to the
capital Of the state, would be "consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" Such
a line would put us in better commun-
ication with the growing cities of the
eastern part of the state, as well as CIV
ing us the commercial benefits of a
nearer connection with the great cities
of Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and
st. Paul. Under present arrangement
we are compelled to travel about 800
miles to reach our capitol. with all Of
the attendant delays, while a direct
line from Rapid City to Pierre is about
100 miles. 1t il high time that this
change should take place, and this EN-
barge upon our convenience, and com.
mercial advantage was lifted; and this
needless obstruction removed. The
Register points all too briefly to the ad-
vantages of traffic which would acrue to
such road. Referring to the great de
mand In the eastern part Of the state for
our coal, lumber. and stone. as well as
the large and constantly increasing cat
tie shipments from the ranges around
the Hills. and the immense territory
west and north which would be tribu-
tary to said road. The inducements
proposed by the Register, is to give said
railroad a low rate Of taxation, say
$1,000 90 per mile Of road, the same to
continue for the period OF ten years.
Tt is could only be done by an act of
legislature. and it is suggested that it
would be an excellent chance to bring
into play the new law OF the initiative.
giving the whole people Of the state an
opportunity to express their wishes in
the matter, pro or con, by their vote.
We heartily coincide with the move.
ment, and while rejecting upon the
matter in consideration of the proba
bility Of their being opposed by two
other powerful corporations. we would
be willing to extend even a greater con.
cession to insure the immediate and ra-
pid building of such a road. Members
of the Black Hills Press, what have you
to say upon the subject. Ifyou think it
is good thing, why not push it.
