A venerable and loyal Democrat
suggested the other day the propriety
Of making Senator Daniel governor
next time. He said he had long want
ed to see him governor Of the State
and that this was an opportune time
for concerning the honor, and especial
ly as with five brother Democrats as
piring for the place we are likely to
have an unseemly wrangle. We do
not know but that the suggestion is a
timely and wise one. 1t doesn't mean
that Senator Daniel should enter the
race, but that we should tender him
the honor without his asking, and

The "boys" Of the weekly press are
"going for" the Richmond papers
with special reference to the Times
Dispatch. The big brother is dispos-
ed to make fun Of the fight but it will
not down at any such bidding. These
Democratic papers have done great
wrong to Virginia Democracy and
should "bring forth works meet for
repentance. This is no time for
desertion. A crisis is upon us and
those who do not gather with their
friends scatter abroad, or rather, give
direct aid and comfort to the common
enemy.

THE 9Th OF MARCH.

Benjaman franklin enjoys the repu-
tatiOn of having been a man of COM
manding intellect, but he did an un-
wise thing when he suggested the 4th
Of March as inaugural day. The reason
given is that that day rarely falls on
Sunday, but the mystery is that he
had not designated the LIST Wednes-
day in March, if indeed the month of
wind, and storm and sudden changes
should have been selected at all. 1t
strikes Us that ordinary prudence
would have pointed the rather to tie
LIST Wednesday IN May. Washington
was first inaugurated into Office on the
Both Of April, and it would have been
better to have chung to that day than
to have gone backwards to death-deal-
ing March the 4th. The late Senator
Hoar was the author of a bill fixing
UPON the 4th Wednesday in April as
the day to be observed, and this bill
passed the Senate, but was lost in the
lower House. Why, no man of good
sen sc can give a reason.
Now and then, the day has been a
mild and pleasant one. Cleveland
first took the oath Of Office under
cloudless skies, and "Cleveland sun
shine" becomes proverbial. On the
occasion of his second inaugural.
however, the day was cruelty cold and
stormy. Roosevelt began his official
career as chief magistrate i'm a blaze
of natural glory, but these are the ex
ceptiOn, the general rule being that
the 18th of March is day Of intense
cold on which civilians and soldiers
alike suffer and then die in increasing
1t is not stating ii too
strongly to say that going into holly |
contested battle is not more dangerous
than to gather in Washington to do
honor to inaugural ceremonies.
Ii will require an amendment to the
constitution to change the day, but
tins can be readily and economically
accomplished, not by March 1909, It's
true, but certainly by March 1913.
The second Wednesday in May is
he prudent and proper time to be
agreed on, and not to do so is the SUI
)reme Of incompetency and reckless
ness. Soldiers must be there i'm impos-
ng numbers, without arrangements
having been made for comfortable
quarters, and are required to stand in
inc or march from early morning un-
il the sun goes down behind the
LIQUIDS. Patriotism will continue to
ring together civilians i'm vast num-
ers TO do honor to the occasion, and
D unwillingly expose either class to
illing winds is sheer madness.
OF course the day should be chang
4, and as soon as practicable, but
hen we remember that our national
gislators go nosing through the

aterway luxuries turning deaf ears

We have read nothing Of late with

At the Holy Terror Mine.

John Manion is in Lead for the
purpose of spending Christmas with
his mother. Jbhn says that the
work of taking the water out Of the
Holy Terror mine will begin as soon
after the first of the year as men
can be placed at work. He estimates
that it will take at least three weeks
to drain the mine, and then a few
weeks more to get the workings in
such shape that ore can be taken
from them. He believes that under
the new management the mine will
prove to be as great success and as
rich as it was in the days when it
was famous as producer of the
richest ore in the west. The work
at the mine will be under the d.
rection of T. r. Griffith, one of the
most experienced miners in the
west, and John believes that it will
not be long before stamps are drop
ping and the company employing
the largest force of miners in the
Southern Hills. Re says that there
are number Of other propositions
at Hill City, Keystone, and in that
district of the Hills, which will prove
to be winners just as soon as work
is done on them and it is demon
strated by the operations on the
Holy Terror that mining in the
Southern Hills will pay.-Pioneer-

Soon as They Prove Up Arc
Losing Their Claims.
Mitchell, Dec. 23.-The land Office
has just received a decision from
the department at Washington which
will act very much as a guide to
people who are filing on land with
the bare idea Of making final proof
upon it and then leaving for parts
unknown. A test case was made in
a North Dakota filing in the person
of Gilbert Starang, of Canton, S. D..
The evidence indicated that as soon
as Starang proved up he intended to
return to Canton or some other point
and his entry was cancelled and
the land reverted TO the government.
In the great rush to Chamberlain
a few years ago many people went
out there just for that purpose, and
the instances We're numerous where
an entryman had completed his
residence on his claim and was ready
to prove up. Before going to the
land office they had sold off their
claim shanty and disposed of all ev-
licences Of civilization on their
claim. Having done that they have
gone to the land office and proved
up. In number of cases these
parties have lost their land by rea-
son of others knowing Of their in
tentions who have filed on it and
won out on contest of the proper
ty. That the government inspectors
are keeping close watch on set
tiers in this respect is shown by the
fact that SO proofs at Kadoka, 80
at Philip and 40 at Cottonwood had
been recommended for rejection, and
that several parties in Lyman coun-
ty had been ordered back to their
claims within sixty days to show
good faith of heir residence
