wouldn't IL be Lovely

Besides the smallpox epidemic the
people of Rosebud county appear to
have developed an acute case of bridge
rabies according to a dispatch from
Forsyth which indicates aspirations
to construct three crossings, one over
the Tongue river and two over the yell
lowstone. It would be just lovely if
this thing could be done and perhaps
Custer county, learning of the ad-
vanced methods of finance, might then
aspire to dot the Yellowstone with $40,
600 foot logs, The dispatch referred
to is as follows:
Residents in the vicinity of Ashland,
in the southern part of the county, are
circulating petition which will be
presented at the March meeting ask
ing the county commissioners to con-
tract for bridge across the Tongue
river at Ashland. It is always im-
possible to cross the river in the win
ter time.
1t is also reported tina, the residents
OF Rosebud and vicinity are circula-
ting petition for bridge across the
Yellowstone at Rosebud. Forsyth has
petition before the board asking for
a bridge across the Yellow stone at
this place. The Forsyth citizens de-
sire the commissioners to call an cleo
ton to decide whether or not the COM
missioners shall bond the county for
$40, 600 to build the bridge. The pc
tition is signed by 275 Taxpayers

thousands in the church had declared
against the principle of plural marriages
as given to the church in a revelation
from Joseph Smith, Jr. To bring out the
effect of refusing to subscribe to the
teachings of the church, Mr. Hoar asked
number os questions, and Mr.. Smith
said
THE principle of revelation is the
fundamental principle of the church
''Have you ever received such a revela-
ton direct from God?' asked Mr.. Tay-
ler
Il never said had received a revela-
tion except that God has shown me that
Mormonism is Gods divine truth said
Mr. Smith.
How has God shown you that?' asked
Mr.. Burrows.
"By inspiration" Mr.. Smith described
the accepted theory of the revelation OF
the principle Of polygamy to Joseph
Smith, Jr., saying that an angel in black
had appeared unto him. He said revela-
tions had not come to him in that form
but that he had received direct reVela-
tions from God by inpiration.
At this point Mr. bailey said he as
sumed that all of the testimony being
brought out in regard to the Celigion of
the Mormon Church had some sound re-
lation to the influence the church had
in civil affairs, and that unless he was
assured of that he should@rbject.
Mr.. Tayler answered that the prosecu-
tion would attempt to show that the
church directed affairs of state and poll
tics. No further objection was made.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Tayler
asked in regard to the manifesto of Pres-
dent Woodford Woodruff in 1890, COM
mandin ga suspesion of the requirement
that polygamy be practiced in the church,
and also the prayer for amnesty in 1891.
The questions were to ascertain whether
the members of the church considered
these declarations affected the continuance
of cohabitation of these previously mar
ried. Mr.. Smith said it was regarded
that they did affect such persons.
Mr.. Tayler asked: do you so re-
gard it?"
''The command did not change my views

AFTER BOOKER WASHINGTON.
Plenty of lIliterate Negro Preachers
Who Have Helped Lift Up Their
Race,

To the Editor: | see from the papers
that the negro, Booker T.. Washington
has been protesting against burning and
lynching negroes but not a word of pro-
test against the brutal negro who assaults
our innocent white women.
This is the old song with the negro,
intended to curry favor in the North /
suppose Booker wants some more North
ern money and takes tins way of adver-
tising it.
OF course every decent white man Ia
ments the lynchings, but a thousand times
more laments the suffering of our pure
women | am sorry that any white man
is low enough to join lynching party
but | have no word of pity for the negro
brute who assaults a white woman.
Since Teddy Roosevelt degraded him
self and the nation by eating with Book
er, the negro, seems to forget himself
altogether He once curried favor with
the whites in the South. but he is be-
yond that since Roosevelt took him up.
l am sick of this Yankee notion, that
a negro is to be specially honored because
he can read latin. An educated negro is
no better than any other negro.
Booker used to be a Baptist, then
presbyterian, Inen Unitarian, am tOld.
Recently at an educational meeting in
New Orleans, he had a young negro
Catholic priest-all dressed in the priestly
CARBON the platform with him
He took occasion to say that ''the worst
enemy the negro had was the ignorant
negro preacher"
Is that the truth?
Was the worst enemy the world ever
had, the ignorant fisherman Christ called
to be His disciple? Was the worst enemy
this country ever had the ignorant
Methodist and Baptist preacher of 100
years ago? No, it is all lie as black as
hell, from whence it came.
There<ar thousands of negro preachers
throughout the South, who cannot read
Latin, who are vastly more honorable
than Booker Washington.
believe in an honor that comes from
morality rather than education.
Yours truly.

4 PATHETIC COINCIDENCE.

It is a pathetic coincidence that
as old President Kruger fails in bod
lily powers the sturdy Boer state he
built up begins to disintegrate. The
prosperity that was to come to it as
q subject land has failed to appear.
Its inhabitants are emigrating, its
population is dwindling, and to re-
place the deficit of men there has
been instituted system of Chinese
immigration under bondage of which
Sir William Harcourt has said, 81
cannot conceive how it was possible
that any man with the instincts Of
British freedom could be found to
put his hand to such document as
the ordinance establishing a code Of
serfdom as the basis Of the principal
industry IN the newest colony of the
empire"
From the freedom fought for on
veldt and kopje to Chinese cody
slavery is moral decline the conse-
quences of which cannot but be evil.
The mines Of the Rand have played
some queer tricks with the con-
science of an enlightened nation

No More Barrels of Matches.

Senator Hoar bewails the innoya-
ton recently introduced at that end
of the capitol in the purchase of
matches. Almost since the time that
friction matches were invented the
senate has been receiving its supply
in little round wooden boxes.
Matches in these boxes have been
for years kept about the capitol.
When in Mr.. Hoar's committee room
some one asked for matches the SEN
ator would remark, "Why, we have
barrels of Matches" and forthwith
at the utterance Of the bonmot a
round box would be produced.
Now the purchasing agent of the
senate has decided to buy matches
in the usual paper boxes with which
the general public is familiar. That
is considerably less expensive, but it
puts an end to "barrels of matches"
in the senate committee on the judi
ciary.-Washington Post.
