The persistent refusal Of Mr.. Kit
redge to allow his name to be
brought forward, after his oft reiter-
ated determination during the cam
paign not to be a candidate shows
that he has the best interest of the
party first at heart. Not that Mr.. Kit
redge would not have had a perfect
right to become a candidate and not
that he would not have made an able
and thoroughlyrepresentative United
States senator if elected but his entry
into the race at this time would have
seriously embarrassed many of his
closest friends who had accepted his
declination OF the honor in good
faith, and would have given the oppo-
sition capital for future use which
they might have used with demora
lizing effect.
The recently announced candidacy
of Judge Keith, of Sioux Falls,
must be taken largely as a compli-

possibly a bearing on the distribution

A Good Example.
Minneapolis Journal.


The decision of the South Dakota re-
publicans to unite upon Robert j. Gamble
of Yankton for senator to succeed Petit
grew is a happy one. Mr.. Gamble has
made a fine record in the lower house
and declined denomination for the de-
clared purpose of making a campaign
Tor h senate against the pestiferous
Pettigrew. There was a pretty general
tacit understanding that in case OF re-
publican victory the toga should go to
the Iankton man. Now, it is given out
that all elements of the party have given
in their adhesion to that program. The
Legislature to meet at Pierre next month
will thus be relieved Of what might easily
become a disorganizing senatorial con
test. 1t a honor Mr.. Gamble with
unanimous election, so far as the repub-
licans are concerned, and then devote its
whole attention to state business.

The neatest job Of butter workin,
the writer ever witnessed was AT tbe
international dairy fair held at the old
American institute building, New YORK
city. beginning Dec. 8, 1879, and last.
Ing ten days or two weeks.
There had been a churning contoo,
resulting from a prize offered by John
Stewart of Iowa, whose butter toot

made Iowa famous as a butter produc.
ing state. A lady from Minnesot.

ed butter at the fair, was selected 70
work the butter churned by the con.
testants.
The lady in question used q common
V shaped lever butter worker. She
first spread a piece of muslin over the
bed of worker, letting the edges fall
over each of its sides. Then the lot OF
butter to be worked, granular, Of
course, was poured on the muslin, and
the proper amount Of salt was sifted or
sprinkled on, / do not remember which.
The working consisted Of & slight
downward pressure Of n Of the lat
surfaces OF the lever, with perhaps an
occasional pressure of a corner of the
lever for the purpose Of making a chan.
mel for the escape of the brine. In this
instance time could not be spared to
salt the butter and set it away to allow
the salt to dissolve.
Instead of using n ladle to turn the
butter back to the center Of the worker
the edges of the muslin were lifted,
first one and then the other, and drawn
SO as to fold the edges of the butter To-
ward the center. 1t was a very nice
way Of doing II: more gentle than It
could have been done with n ladle. This
was repeated as often as necessary,
and when the mass of butter became
too much elongated the same thing was
done with the ends of the muslin.
Remember that in working butter
with a lever the pressure should be
straight down instead of a side or slid
ing one, for the latter will break the
grain.

THE SOUTH DAKOTA SENA-
TORSHIP.

If The Tribune were to analyze
the senatorial situation in South Oak
ota, in the light of recent reports
from that state, it would do it in
about this wise:
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Gamble has had assurance, not to say
actual pledges, from sufficient mum
Der of members of the Legislature to
give him control of the Republican
caucus, which with the overwhelming
Republican majority in the legisla-
ture, would make his election a GER
tainty.
Politics however, is game the re-
suit of which is not determined until
it is played out, and many an APP
parent sure thing in a senatorial con
test has not materialized in the final
outcome.
The party leaders in South Dakota
conducted the campaign on an alb
solutely fair basis toward all the SEN
atorial aspirants, their sole idea being
10 secure as decisive a victory as pos
sible. After the victory was won they
had still the same interest in protec,
ting the rights of all elements in the
party, because the very nature of the
fight was such that no one man or
set of men could claim entire credit
for the victory.
These party leaders have been in
no sense hostile to Mr. CANDLES as
p%irations, neither were they disposed
to further them at the expense of
other men equally deserving if not
in 50 advantageous a position.
There We're other claims to be cor.
sidered and other ambitions, bearing
both on the present and the future.
to be fairly taken into account.
And in making this statement The
Tribune does not mean to imply that
there was any disposition on the part
OF Mr.. Gamble to selfshly ignore
these claims and ambitions: but
in politics business is businessand a
clear understanding beforehand
offensive hearts burning afterwards.
Such an understanding has un-
doubtedly been arrived at between
Mr. Gamble and the men who led the
Republican forces in the recent
magnificent fight against Bryan;sm
and Pettigrewism, and his election
to the ~senatorship without a struggle
will leave the party in the same

The Montgomery Ward people are
getting real desperate IN their efforts to
ecure advertising space in country
newspapers. They send a request to
publishers for prices, and the editor, who
usually does not particularly care for
the patronage OF he mail order sharks,
demands an exorbitant price for space
in his paper, sometimes asking four or
five times the rate paid by local mer-
chants. He is greatly surprised upon
receiving a draft for the amount by re-
turn mail with insl ructions to run the
ad. These people seem to know the true
value of advertising and are willing to
pay for it.

| wonder if the farmers will keep

panies rob themin grading wheat. |
am inclined to think that we will
take a tumble after a while and those
fine, nice elevators will stand empty
as a reminder of the hundreds of
farmers that they have robbed and
cheated. The majority of farmers
are just as good judges of the grade
of wheat they sell as any wheat
buyer, and they know, when they
bring No. 2 wheat to market and
have to take No. 4 for it, that there
is a niger in the fence and they are
not getting their just ~dues-saying
nothing about the odd pounds that
are taken on each load and the big
dockage put on even when the
grain has been cleaned good through
a tanning mill.
We admit that there is a large
amount of wet and damaged wheat
in the country, but there is also a
great deal of wheat that was thresh-
ed before the rains, which is dry and
all right and should bring No. 2 but
is graded as No. 4. | had one set

any wheat | ever had and | kept it

wet wheat. Notwithstanding the

say that there is some mighty crook
ed work about grading wheat. I
don't mean to say that the wheat
buyers in Webster are altogether to
blame for they have their instructions
to 60 by, but there is something
wrong some where.
Now, | say farmers, let's quit the
wheat business, and, instead of SOW
ing wheat put it to oats, barley, mil
let, corn, etc, for on every bushel of
wheat we handle we lose money.
How long would a business man
keep right ON in one line of business
If he knew that he was losing money
every day. The most of us have
quite a bunch of cows now and let
us turn our attention t. stock raising
and patronize the creamery and let
the elevators stand there empty.
God bless the cows-they are going
to be the salvation of this country if
we only stick by them, and let wheat
raising go to the dogs. While there
are lots of cows that have done bet
