As to Federal Appointments.

A recent Washington special says:
"a general policy as to federal appoint
ments was determined upon by the
president and his cabinet at their semi
weekly meeting. At the conclusion of
the meeting it was announced that for
the present at least the uniform policy
would be to retain incumbents in office
during satisfactory service. This
policy will hold, it was stated further,
entirely irrespective of the length of
service of the incumbent. The policy
announced is to apply generally to all
departments of the government 1t is
in precise line to the determination
reached and announced some time ago
regarding postmasters, that it would
make no difference whether the incum.
bent had served one or two or more
terms"

Have :, Joyous Reunion.
The eighteenth meeting of the Black
slills Soldiers ana Sailors Association
on Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thurs
day was very enjoyable one, although
not so largely attended as was hoped it
would be. This is attributed to the
fact that a large majority of the Black
Hills veterans are contemplating going
to the G. a. IL encampment at Denver
Sept. LIST, and therefore felt that they
could not attend the two so near to-
gether. The first public exercise took
place Tuesday afternoon at the pavll-
ion, where L large number listened to
the address of welcome by Congress-
man Martin, the response by Rev. Til
den. and the address by Senator Gam
ble, each being patriotic,
interesting and eloquent.
The rally at the Soldiers Home in
the evening was largely attended. The
music by the Home orchestra was an
enjoyable feature, and the speaking by
Gov Elrod, Congressman Burke and
Hon q. G. Bennett was much appre-
ciated and enjoyed.
Wednesday forenoon there way Il re-
view of the National Guard.
At noon the Soldiers Home served
a banquet to the visitors, over two
hundred participating in the feast of
good things that were prepared, in
Guiding fruit, chicken, sweet potatoes,
green corn, aud various other delicious
things. 1t was a great dinner which
was done full justice by the large num-
Der of happy visitors present.
The business meeting of the mem
bers of the association decided to make
Hot Springs the permanent headquar-
ters-a compliment greatly appreciated
by the town. Capt. G. V. Gardner was
elected president. and j. l.. Denman
permanent secretary. \ strong eXecu-
tive committee was chosen from vari
Gus portions of the Hills.
The afternoon program at the Home
was an excellent one, the address OF
DIR. Clark being very fine; the paper by
DR.. A. III. Connor on "The Flag" was
exceptionally able, patriotic and inter

were also greatly enjoyed.

The Hudson True Republican,
in its last issue, shows up the pu-
Grille nonsense of those administra-
ton papers that have insisted that
the war loan was not taken from
the trust funds. Every honest, in
telligent person in the state knew
the facts in the case but the Madi-
son politicians had an object in
view in denying that the remittance
from the United States in satisfac-
ton of the war loan belonged to the
trust funds. "No State Tax This
Year" would catch a lot of suckers,
and using the loan of three quarters
of million dollars for current ex-
penses would be condoned. In the
meantime the state must continue to
pay 7 per cent interest on the war
loan. Is that business, or politics.

Three or four years ago peculiar
bug with red body and black wings
appeared here in immense numbers
and because it seemed partial to
the box-elders it was called box
elder bug. 1t was supposed these
bugs would entirely destroy the
box-elders. They disappeared as
quickly and as mysteriously as they
came. We did not see a bug of this
species last year or this spring.
Two years ago the box-elders seemed
to be affected with some disease.
The leaves came out sparsely and
many of them soon turned yellow
and fell to the ground. 1t was not
intimated that the disease of the
trees was occasioned by the bugs.
Last year the box-elders made a
healthy, vigorous growth and this
spring they are putting forth leaves
that seem to show that these trees
are all right.

sique, but mentally Unbalanced. For
the benefit of the doctors he multi
piled and subtracted three, four, five

least difficulty and with absolute ac-
curacy. Questioned as to the day OF
certain dates during the past year or
past century, he answered after few
moments reflection, counting in the
leap years. AS an adding machine he
does wonders, but in all other respects
he has no sense whatever. His great
est delight is to hoe potatoes and
count them, 1888 in a sack. He is a

one to the other, congratulating him

Potatoes and the Starch Factory.

S. ]. Mealey, principal owner of
the starch factory here, proposes to
make extensive improvement in the
factory this summer, putting it into
first-class shape tor the handling
and grinding of potatoes and max
ing them into the best quality Of
starch possible thus insuring to po-
tato growers the best returns of
which the market will permit. 1t is
intended to run the factory every
year. This is a hint to farmers to
persevere in the culture of a large
area of potatoes. One year with
another this crop pays as we'll as
anything and in good years the pro-
fit is large.
The history of this springs run
as compared with last falls teaches
lesson in economics which is easy
to learn and should be profitable to
those who learn it. The factory
ground 21,800 bushels of potatoes
last fall and 22,360 bushels this
spring making total of "A, 100
bushels as the product of last sea-
sons growth. The 1900 bushels
worked up last fall made 0,080
pounds of starch while the %, 500
bushels ground this spring made
but 1877 ,280 pounds. Last fall 3d.
$50 pounds more starch was made
from $50 bushels less OF potatoes
than this spring. Last fall pounds
of starch were made on an average
from bushel of potatoes and this
spring but IN. In this connection
it must also be understood that last
fall the run was made mostly on
culls and potatoes affected with rot.
This spring the run was made on
the best of last seasons crop.
Here was the extra trouble of sort
ing, putting in the cellar and taking
them out and to the factory. Po-
tatoes shrink much in weight dur
ing the winter and when they begin
to sprout the quality quickly and
largely deteriorates. Some esti-
mate the loss by keeping over win
ter at fully 20 per cent.
The lesson herein taught is that
it is economy and profit to take the
potatoes out of the ground to the
factory direct, as quickly as pos
sible. Sometimes potatoes are
much higher in spring than in the
fall. Then, if the farmer kept them
over, he was the gamer. More often
the keeping them over is a disap-
pointment and a loss.

The value of the above statement,
copied from an exchange, may be
determined by making enquiry into
the facts. In the first place, if the
writer of the statement knows it to
be true, he must have been very in
innate with the Senator. Did Spoon
