THAT AWFUL CRISIS.

Chamberlain Journal, (pop.) It's time that
the Republican policy Of feeding Wall street
with bottle regularly and giving it the sery-
ices OF a wet nurse frequently should be CIV
en- sufficient rebuke, Our Republican
friends pirate about the excellence Of their
financial system and yell in our ears 'Repub.
iican prosperity" The kind of prosperity
and the financial system that depends for sue
cess upon the variations Of a stock ticker and
the reckless speclations OF a bunch Of criminal
gamblers is not good, nor lasting, nor .
stable system.
The ssstock ticker has licked
and the bunch Of criminal gam
blersn have apeculated their worst
during the last three months and
yet our mills are running full force
our wholesalers are buying as new
er before and our retailers are kept
as busy as bees serving their Gus
toners who have plenty OF money to
pay for what they get: The awful
crises has come and gone and no
one but few spectators and our
doleful friends, the pops, paid any
attention to il. The reason is as
plain as plain can be. Our pros
poriry is genuine, our system Is
stable. The republican party is
running things and all the tstock
merket'' calamity prophets in the
country cannot prevail against it.

CONSISTENCY, OH, CONs1s-
TENCY.

Our brother editor of the Sturgis
Press says in commenting on the
ownership Of this paper and of the
change OF its political complexion
that we are undoubtedly OF the
empty-headed class of surface
thinking cusses, because we attri-
butte our good times to the repub-
lican party. Says Brother Slater:
That times have been comparatively good
since 1897 is not denied There has been a
great influx of money with its natural in.
crease Of prices and the stimulation of busi.
ness
What encouraged and induced
this great influx Of money! Why
is the investor willing to send his
money out7 Simply because he
knows that under republican rule
the country's business institutions
are safe-guarded against deprecia-
ton Of values by reason Of expert
mental tlnkering with the nations
life blood-its 100 cent dollar.
Providence hath blessed the country with
series Of good crop years. and by reason Of
the wars for the liberation Of Cuba and the
subsection Of the people of the Philippines,
the government has furnished employment to
many thousands. and has put millions OF
dollars in circulation.
The "millions OF dollars" would
not have been spent and Cuba and
the Philippines would still be un-
der the grinding heel of the OPP
pressor if the Press and the rest OF
the Pops could have had their way.
They said then it was a Mark
Hanna scheme to seize these I'M
fortunate islands for the benefit OF
4 few boss spectators! Consisten-
cy, oh consistency!
Personally, our head may be
empty, thanks to republican rule
our food repositor is full. We may
not know very much, but we are
wise enough to see that republi-
canism stands for prosperity, in
tegrity and intelligent advance
ment. It doesn't require much Of
an eve to see il.

1893 AND 1908.

Some newspapers that are "agin
everything" like the Springfield
Republican" are drawing COM
PARSONS between the present stock
market furry and the panic of
1893. There is only one likeness.
Stocks are falling now as they fell
then, because o. overspeculation on
borrowed capital. General business
conditions seemed good in the ear
Iy part of 1898, but there was
overpro 1uctien in all industries;
now the mills and factories ara
still behind with their orders,
though less activity is expected in
the future
Then the trouble began with
business failure, which infected the
stock market. Now the stock
market has fallen nearly as much
az it did then, without causing a
single failure in any other business
than stock gambling. But here is
the widest difference of all. In
1903, the trouble began late in the
spring and by the end of July los
banks had tailed. Now stocks
have been falling for six months
and not one bank is known to be
in trouble, except a little one in
Pennsylvania that was caught in
the Consolidated Superior gamble.
The hanks remember their lesson
and have not opened their vaults
to the spectators.
In 1893, the national finances
were in a demoralized condition.
Silver initiation had been going on
for fifteen years, and the treasury
was Increasing it by notify Pur-
chases. Now the only complaint
made of the currency is that it is
too sound. The spectators want
paper money imitation to blow up
their exhausted ballons and the
common sense of the country is
holding Congress back from giving
it.
Finally, though we would not
lay too much stress on this point,
in 1893, the Democrats had just
come into power, and the country
was menaced with violent disturb
ances of business conditions by a
hostile revision of the Tariff. Now
the Republicans seem to be settled
in power for FIVE years more, the
finances of the country are safe
from meddling, and the Tariff will
be revised when the time GENES
without tearing up prosperity BY
tho roots. These differences seem
to make the comparison rather
foolish. Minneapolis Tribune.

THE CANAL.

~ The latest news from Columbia
indicates that the people OF tina,
bumpious republic are getting far
more excited than are the Ameri.
cans over the failure Of the canal
treaty. There is much talk Of a
revolution which will split Column
bia in twain because her congress-
failed to make good the specula-
tons Of the citizens Of Panama,
writes an eastern correspondent
There is talk of amending the con-
stitution to permit the government
TO alienate territory. And while
the news is meager it issvident the
canal incident has stirred up a
wide commotion. In the mean
time the peopls Of the Uaited
States are going calmly about their
business without worrying over
the canal situation.
The American people are in fav-
OF ofspending two hundred million
dollars to dig big ditch through
the isthmus. The undertaking is
sufficiently gigantic to touch the
national love for great things. The
spectacular features have appealed
to the masses and the masses saw
with delight the preliminary steps
toward cutting the back bone Of
the continent and uniting the two
oceans Bull no one ID this coun-
Try has figured that a failure Of the
plan would be q serious calamity.

pride 4 little if after all our talk
this striking project should be
abandoned, but our busy people
do not feel that we should be any
the worse otf than at present.
Moreover our people have grown

IS preferable, but no one seriously

little republic had turned down the
ten million bonus which this gov.
eminent offered il the American
people fell no segious shock. II H

ing whlskey were held to the
United States grand jury in the
sum of $3.50 bonds each at the
close of the preliminary hearing
held before United States Com
missioner Charles H. Nelson in
the United States court room in
Deadwood yesterday afternoon.
The examination in behalf of the
government was conducted by
Deputy Revenue Collector Adams
and the defendants were represent
ed by Attorney Thomas Harvey.
The hearing was attended by
Deputy United States Marshals
Jerry Carelton and John Bedding.
These gentlemen besides other
witnesses took the stand in behalf
Of the government, and the defend
ants were given chance to take
the stand in their own behalf Mr.
Carelton introduced into evidence
the top of a condenser which he
had found at the home of one Of
the defendants, besides several
other parts of the apparatus which
the men had in their possession at
the time the search was made Of
their premises by the officers. I'm
mediately following the arrest Of
the three men, Deputy Revenue
Collector Adams and Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal Jerry Carleton
left Edgemont for the place where
the men were operating, and they
found Mrs. Strickland, wife Of one
of the men charged with illicit dis.
tilling, and in the house where she
was the officers found barrel of
the distilled whiskey, which had
been made by the men at the dis
til. The barrel containing the
whiskey was over half full and the
officers brought sample of the
spirits contained in the barrel to
this city, which was introduced as
evidence at the hearing yesterday.
They were also conducted to a dug
out about twelve miles from Edge
mont, where the operations were
being earried on by the distillers,
and there was found tue complete.

by the distillers in their work be-
sides numbers Of jugs, bottles and
TASKS, all Of which the officers des-s
troyed before leaving the premises.
The evidence pointed towards
Operations Of but a few weeks as
the apparatus was shipped to
Edgemont during the month Of
June, and was taken from there to
the scene Of operation. At the,
close Of the hearing the council for
the defense moved that the defend
ant Sohn Strickland be discharged
but the court denied the motion
and held the three men on the
charge. The men are middle aged,
John Strickland being the only
one married. During the trial par
ties who had been in the dug out
were present, and told Of having
partaken Of the whiskey at the dis
till.
The swoop down on the illicit
distillery viii undoubtedly put an
end to the gang that have been
terrorizing the residents Of the
country in the section they live.
