Mr.. Bryan and his party have tried
to make comparison between the Phil
ippines and Cuba. They have persist.
emily given encouragement to Aguinaldo
by asserting that the Philippines ought
to be treated the same as Cuba. Sena.
tor Davis made a sufficient reply to this
bit of false logic when be said in his
Hamilton club speech: The conditions
and situations as to Cuba and the Philip
pines are not the same. We never had
sovereignty over Cuba. We have soy
ereignty oyer the Philippines. When
we invaded the Philippines the natives
were not in arms. We never promised
to give independence to them, and they
did not demand it at that time. Before
we invaded Cuba this government did
promise to give independence to that
island. We made no such promise as to
Puerto Rico. Our title to Puerto Rico
and the Philippines rests upon the same
incontestable basis, and yet have not
heard that even the Democracy pur-
poses or wishes to erect Puerto Rico in
to an independent state,

recently that unless the government
finds some way of exterminating the
little worm or bug that is devastating
the pine forests in the Black Hills, fve
years from now there will be scarcely

is widespread over the Hills. Places
that last year embraced but half dozen
dead trees now cover from one to FIVE
acres. The forest reserve agents have
been urging the government to act in
the matter, but as yet nothing has been
done. Agent Greene sent to Washing

wood which was cut frona live tree
Under the bark there were a number oi
the worms at work and the officials at
Washington were given an opportunity
to study the insects as they are found in

Noble. president, and Isaac Gibbard
vice president, of Yale, Mich, and Ro.
chester, N. Y, will be in Custer in few
days to look after the interests Of their
company. A number of eastern capi.
talists will accompany them, who come

pany's properties with view of taking
large blocks of stock. The company has
a great showing to make before eastern
investors. There is not another new
company in the Black Hills that is work
ing as many camps. Work is being
pushed at the marble quarry in order to
get it opened to the market before cold
weather. Camps have also been estab-
lished at the lithograph quarry, black
granite and mica ledges and at all these
places good showing has been made.
Before cold weather, the company will
be producing for the market two or
three of the several materials upon
which it is working.

Senator Pettigrew arrived in Dead
wood last Sunday, and left again for the
east Monday evening. Ofhis unexpect-
ed visit the Lead Tribune says: The
cause for the sudden and unexpected
visit ia not made public. but predictions
are made that the senator's visit is for
the purpose Of getting Joe Moore to
withdraw from the ticket as candidate
for congress beca1se his name is weigh.
ing down the whole ticket. East of the
river IL is common talk that Moore is a
dead weight. Another prediction is that
the party leaders here in the Hills have
informed the senator that the refusal Of
Moore to resign would help to snow
them under here, and of course the
senator does not like the idea of losing
the legislative ticket, and that he is here
for the purpose of carrying back the
resignation of Moore to the governor.
That one Of these predictions .is correct
there can be very little doubt.

il says. The democrats argue that Bryan
will not do anything to advance the

They are also being convinced that he
would not retire the army from the
