The action OF President Mckinley in
appointing tyo southern Democrats Of
the liberal school to federal positions
may cause some unrayorablc comments.
espcciallyamong those who are anNious
to serve the government in a like en-.
pacity, Eut We believe the president
is acting wisely in this undertaking
what Is best for the country and the Re-
publican party, The young and enter
prising, and particularly the business
men Of the south, are getting tired Of
voting their prejudices and thereby an
tagonizing their own interests in order
to pcrpetuate Democratic control in
that section. That President Mckinley
has lcgionS OF friends in the south and
that the policy Of the administration as
IL rc.atcS 10 Cuba and Porto Rico has
strong endorsement and support cannot
be denied. 1t is not improbable that a
new Republican party will spring up in
the south that will carry everything
before II. This would have happened
long ago were it not for the fear of
negro domination.

1t looks very much as though Boss
Croker would soon see his finish. The
better element of the New York Demo
cracv have organized to down Tam
manys rule and dethrone the arch cor
%ruptionist. Its leaders are such men as
John c. Anderson, +. Ellery Anderson.
Richard olney and James Dale. AT a
preliminary meeting held on the 18th
inst. an address was issued denouncing
Tammany rule and declaring in favor
of the election Of a mayor endowed
with public spirit, character and hon
esty, who will labor for the public wei.
fare 1t shows up the corruption and
gross mislnanagement in municipal az
fairs. and says Tammany is controlled
by one man, who in turn controls the
courts and Judges, and whose guiding
purpose is the exaction of tribute for
the violation Of law. 1t is a severe ar.
raignment but M fully justified by ex.
listing conditions.

BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZE.

AS will be seen elsewhere in this is
sue IN organization has been effected
which will be known as the Fergus
County Business Mems Association. the
immediate object Of which is to adver.
tise the mining districts of the county.
Ii will be observed the name Of the as.
ISOLATION is broad enough TO include
every man within the limits of the
county who is interested in developing
our mining industry and is willing to
give a little financial aid in that direc-
ton.
The plan set forth Tor advertising our
mining resources i,on the broadest and
most comprehensive scale, reaching the
greatest mart, Of capital and industry
in the United States, The AEGus has
done much toward calli1g the attention
Of capitalists To the mineral wealth of
this region, but the scope of any week
~ paper is Limited, and while we shall
continue to give the very best service
possible in disseminating mining news
we realize that 10 reach the great cen
tiers Of capital and Investment such
news must appca, in the great dailies
and mining journalsof the country.
1t is said everything comes to those
who wait. Int widu-awalSc and enter
prising people are too impatient 10 sit
down aud wait. We have waited toe
long already. The bail is set rolling:
let IFS bc sp and doing, With very little
help on the part of those interested
and this includes nearly every citizen
of the county-we believe the result,
obtained will be far in excess Of
the money invested. What Lewis
town and other towns need are
permanent monthly pay rolls 10 put
money in circulation. Let us all pull
together then, without jealousy or riy.
airy, but with n purpose to enhance the
material and social welfare Of all.

Although cattle and sheep wintered
well and the spring is well advanced
the ground is very dry in some sections
and a shortage of the water supply is
already apparent. 1t is a little too
early to look for rains, but unless May
and June should prove record breakers
in the fall of moisture great injury is
likely TO befall the ranges as well rs
crops. Stock may suffer considerably
in some parts Of the county.
