in Billings was the mid.winter rhetori-
cal rendered at the opera house Satur-

were inaugurated a little over a year
ago, are a source of much enjoyment
and interest to the friends and patrons
of the school. and. besides. teach the
students to appear in public without
embarrassment and prepare them for

THOSE BOUNTY CERTIFICATES,

able to expose, today, a democratic
scheme, hatched in Helena, whereby the
stockmen Of tho state were to be

bounty certificates for the killing Of
wolves and coyotes. These men have
expended thousands and thousands Of
dollars to get rid Of the pests and when
al attempt is made to deprive Of the
fruit Of their labors the men the stock
men have employed to exterminate the
wild animals, 1t IL a direct blow at the
great stock industry Of the state. The
Gazette, which is largely supported
by the stock industry. does not propose
to allow this to be done IL 1t can help
it, and it thinks 1t can. The warning
given in II columns today will be
sufficient; it will protect the holders OF

ing with pride. That is its speciality
But here are few things for which the
republican party is wholly responsible
to which there has been no pointing tc

A perpetuated national debt payable
in gold and turning over to corporations

the value thereof.
Protection to trnst promoters while
they have organized under the McKin-
ley administration trusts with capital
stock of ten billion dollars or more.
An Algerian management of the war
department CONSPICUOUS for the number
and great variety of its scandals.

practical ally Of the empire in the work
of destroying two independent republics.

JUDGE MOORE FOR CONGRESS.

The Union has had but little to say,
so far, as regards the congressional sit
uation, but at this time the nomination
of E. W. Martin for congress seems
quite certain. In the face of vigorous
opposition within the ranks of his own
party, Mr.. Martin has gained the
Endorsement of the republican delegates
from every county in the Black Hills,
who are instructed to stand by his nom-
ination. In the face of such instruc-
tions the republican state convention
can hardly do otherwise than nominate
Mar tin, although it is conceded that
there are men in the republican ranks
who would run much stronger than
himself
So it looks like Lawrence county was
to furnish the republican sacrifice in
the race for congressional honors. The
Union believes in meeting the action of
the Hills republicans liberal half way
in this matter and at this time has no
hesitancy in stating that the nomina-
tion of a Lawrence county man by the
fusionists would be good politics. The
fusionists want candidate for congress
who will cut MARITIME supposed strength
down to a minimum. They want a
clean candidate, who is tlreless CAM
paigner and who knows how to win.
They want man Of ability and man
who fully realizes from his own per-
sonal experience what the interests of
the common people of South Dakota
really are. They want candidate
with no strings attached to him to in
huence his conduct in Office. They
want candidate who is not to be whip
sawed and Influenced by every passing
whim-one who realizes that he is
servant of the people and not god or
a dictator. Such candidate will win
this year. and he should come from the
stamping ground of his republican op-
ponent. The Union believes that the
present outlook as regards the congress
ional situation demands the nomination
of Judge Joseph B. Moore at the hands
of the fusionists. 1t believes that Judge
Moore can be elected. If it did not
believe this, one word of commentator
for the honorable judge of the Eighth
circuit would never appear in these
columns in This regard. Risen as he
has from the ranks of common labor,
he would be tower of strength to the
fusion ticket. In recommending the
nomination of Judge Moore for con-
gress, the Union believes that it is pur-
suing the course which will crown with
triumph the ticket Of the fusion forces
in South Dakota this year. Such is the
one and only motive which prompts the
Union to speak as it does in the matter
at this time. The day Judge Moore is
nominated for congress by the fusion
forces, that day will mark the decline
of Mr.. Martins chances for congress-
ional honors at the hands Of his imper
ialislic followers in this state.-Rapid

The Christian, as presented at the Aca-
deny last night, was very good pro-
duction, and to those who did not see
the play here last season, it must have
seemed a finished performance in every
resDect. But even with comparisons, the
performance was an excellent one. Sew
eral of the roles are in the same hands
as last season, among them being Mrs.
Calender Lila Vane, as Glory Quayle,
was very good, as was also j. Henry
kolker, as John Storm. Arthur Maitland,
as Horatio Duke, was decidedly weak.
The play was mounted equally as We'll as
last season, and the performance seemed
tc be thoroughly enjoyed by quite large
audience.
The play will be repeated tonight and
tomorrow matinee and evening.
