A Good StOckmen's Senator.

When the Penningt ton county NOM
nations for senator and representatives
were made last fall it was deplored
that the live stock interests were not
sufficiently considered. But it seems
that every bill introduced in the in
terest of the stock industry has had the
earnest support Of Senator Edmund
Smith. He not only voted for these
measurers, but ne took off his coat and
worked early and late for them. Stock
men were ably represented in him and
certainly have No kick coming.

Here's the Record.

The republicans some months
ago were loud in their boasts abou,
the patriotism, craftsmanship and
tact of the administration in the
prosecution of the late war. To
Mckinley and the republican party
belonged the credit and those who
dared express a dissenting opinion
were promptly branded as cooper
heads and "Spaniards." But of
late the record of the whole tran
saction has been brought to light
and it is so rotten that the chirp-
ing among the republicans has
dwindled down to a whisper.
Like the embalmed beef, the ad-
ministration's prosecution Of the
is so rotten that it will hardly
hold together-yea, it smells!
However, as these self-consti-
tuted republican patriots claimed
all the credit, The UNION insists
that they father the whole tran
saction. Here is the record:

A Preachers UnWise Words.

IL ASS
EDITOR BLACK HILLS UNION:
[ have been told that during a revi-
val meeting in Doadwood last week,
where children wer4l largely interested
and where the Christ-love should have
been felt and manifested, the charge
was made by a certain Rapid City
preacher that ''Christian Scientists in
Rapid City are trying to %injure our
church work, but we continue t o draw
the crowds"
Now, can you Or anyone else tell me
why such a statement should be made
in Deadwood and in a revival meeting
when the one making tie charge knec
it was not true-not n word of it.
What a lovely christian feeling must
have prompted him! How d a man
claim that he loves God when he does
not love, but hates, his brother?: Is
this doing as Christ taught in His SER
mon on the mount: Let him read
Matt, 5: 10, II, IL, 20, %, % and "a, and
then let him say whether or not he is
obeying the Saviour's commands. How
car one expect to lead others to accept
Christ when that one refuses to set the
proper example? 1t has been. boldly
and publicly asserted by ministers of
the gospel that "Christian Science is
of the devil" Did anyone ever hear
of the deyil doing Il good thing? Did
not Those who hated the Saviour say
the same thing? Why did they say
that of the only perfect being who ever
trod this earth, and why do preachers
and others say it of Christian Soien.
fists today? Why, bless you, tits very
plain-it hurts their business; the
fewer people in the church the less sal
AIRY a be paid, and there is the cause
of the antagonism shown toward Chris
tiau Science.
My dear Mr.. Editor. Christian Sci
ence will continue to grow, regardless
of the unchristian fight made against
it, just as suLely as it has over one mil
lion followers today and just as sure as
christianity has spread from pole to
since Christ was crucitied. Christian
Scientists are living the 44th verse of
the 9TH chapter of Matthew, constantly
praying for the mind to be IN them
which was also in Christ Jesus. Can
they receive it if they have hate, mall
ice, envy and jealousy in their hearts?
No, no. Bul when they are maligned
and prosecuted they pray, Father,
forgive them, for they know not what
they do"
Let the public investigate this i'm
portant question without prejud' ICE and
let it decide who lives and ats the
Christ life. Signed:
FRIEND TO SCIENCE.

Some Observations.

Illustrating the way in which
appropriations are made by the
present state legislature we quote
the following from the Spearfish
Register: "Word has just been
received from Pierre hat Rapid
City has demanded the support OF
the Lawrence county representa-
tives for an appropriation of SIo,-
Q to establish a state business
college at Rapid in connection
with the school of mines, on con
dltion that they support our dor
mitory bill. S Falls Press.
But it SO happens that "Rapid
City" is represented in the "pres-
ent state legislature' bv populists,
and that's ''the way" they seek to
make appropriations" Yet these
populist newspapers continue howl
ing about the appropriations being
made by the republican legislature
when their W people attempt
such hold-ups as are reported in
the above clipping from the Press
and Spearhsh Reg'ster--two pop
ulist newspapers. Hot Springs
Star.
The Stars comment lacks one
important requisite, and hat is
truth. Rapid City and Penning
ton county were SO unfortunate as
to elect one republican representa-
tive to the Legislature. OF course,
he didn't amount to anything and
hasn't been heard from since going
10 Pierre. The only work that
has been done by the Pennington
county representatives has been by
Representative Pinkerton and Sen
alor Edmund Smith, both wild
and woolly pops. The republican
member from this county has been
strictly an unknown quantity.
AS to the ''hold up" in the shape
Of $4,000 appropriation for a COM
mercial department at the school
of mines referred to by the Star,
is 1t any more of a "hold up" than
the bill appropriating $4,000 for
the Spearhsh Normal? One was
introduced by a pop and was cor
sequently a ''hold-up," according
to the Star. The other bill, though
carrying an appropriation nearly
three times as large, was introduc-
ed by, Lawrence county republicans
and was strictly %ligitimite on that
account. And does the disciple
Of prosperity at Hot Springs know
why the school Of mines approp-
happened to be reported
to the Spearfsh Normal ap-
preparation bill? The UNION is IN
possession of the history of the
whole deal and for the benefit of
the Star and other kickers who are
charging the pops with "hold-ups"
To a n effort to hide republican ex-
travagance we give the particulars
If the matter in full.
Representative Warren (rep.)
ST Spear6sh was chairman Of the
appropriation committee. He in
reduced and fathered the bill for
$4,000 appropriation for the
,pearfsh Normal. At the same
ime Senator Edmund Smith of
City introduced the bill ap-
'ropnating $4,000 for a CONNER

Gal depar ment at the school OF
mines, and had Representative
E%Inkcrton (pop.( of this county
introduce a similar bill in the
house. The house bill was rcferr-
cd to the committee on education,
Tor some reason not yet disclosed,
and that committee refused to con-
slider it on the ground that it car
ried an appropriation and should
have gone to the committee on ap-
preparations. The Spearfsh bill
ed better. 1t was not sidetrack-
ed, but vas promptly reported and
and passed the house. Senator
Smith, unwilling to see his efforts
,hwartei. arranged to have the
SCllOOl ol lllllCS p'll tdhell nom tIle
committee on education and re-
tered to the committee on approp-
riations. This was done on the
explicit promise of Chairman
Warren that his Spearfsh bill!
would remain in the hands of the
committee until the school OF
mines bill should pass the house
and gain the same place on the
calendar as the bill Warren was
fathering. But the school of mines
bill has never gotten out of the
hands of the appropriation COM
ittee. Furthermore, Chairman
Warren of that committee disre-
garded his promise, got a report
on the Spearflsh bill, leaving the
school of mines bill sidetracked
again. Notwithstanding this,
Senator Smith aided in passing the
Speartlsh bill and worked early
and late for the measure.
The school Of mines bill mas
been opposed by certain Hills
members and its treatment from
the day of it's introduction looks
shady, to say the least. Among the
northern Hills members who
have "toted fair" in the matter are
Messrs O'Brien and Cooper, both
from Lawrence county. They
have made a crcditable record al
along, but it has not been done d,
them clinging to the idea that thu
Gem theatre and Wild Bills grav,
are all there is to the Black Hill
region.
Furthermore, the bill introduced
by Wilson to remove the school O
mines from Rapid City to Yer
million was drafted by Black Hill!
parties and Wilson introduced tn
measure by request. He says 81
himself. OF this proposition, TIL
UNION may have more to say il
future issues.
All this talk about "pop hold
ups" is an effort to hide the dis
reputable record made by the re
publicans at the legislative session
just closed--only hat and nothing
more.

Dorsey Ranch Water Case.

The long contested case in courts
about the ownership Of the springs
which supply water for irrigating the
lands Of the Dorsey Howeth-Carpen.
ter ranch on Snake river, now owned
by Helm & Chattin, has been finally
settled by the Supreme Court in favor
OF the present owners. The Statesman
says:
The supreme court has reversed the
decision OF the lower court ia the case
OF George F. Mahoney, trustee, appel.
liant, ". Louis q. Eeiswanger ct. al
respondents, from Ada county.
This Is case involving the waters
OF some springs located near Dorsey's
ranch on Snake river. The predecessor
OF the plaintiff took up a ranch of 500
acres there in 1870 and appropriated
the watea of the springs for irrigation
purposes. II turned out later that he
was cultivating 20 acres OF land that was
over the line W thin which he thought
his location had been made. This 20
acres was subsequently taken up bv
the defendants and they claim title TO
enough Of the water for its irrigation.
This contention was sustained in the
district court but is overruled by the
supreme court
After reciting the facts Of the case
the opinion OF the supreme court says.
IN part:
There is no question but the run
ming Of the waters upon tho lands now
owned by the defendant occurred
through a mistake as 70 the location
of the lines Of plaintiffs lands. The
contention Of counsel for respondent
that the defendent could acquire any
right or title to the water by reason al
this mistake, we cannot agree with.
We know of no principle Of law or
equity that will support such claim.
