plant to extract the sugar from beets
and put the product in shape for refining
can be put up for $10,000 or less. If
that can be done there is no need for the
people waiting and working for a factory
which would cost a qnarter of a million
of dollars. We hope to be able in the
near future to give the readers of The
Journal a description of such an estab
lishment.
An alarm of fire was raised on last
Thursday afternoon. The cause was that
tlie children of G. E. Lunsford, who lives
on the east side of Main street, dropped
a lighted match into a box of shavings.
A crowd soon gathered with buckets of
water and those who got there first
threw the box into the street. The room
was ceiled and it would have taken but
little time for the flames to have gotten
beyond control, as a high wind was blow
ing at the time, and once started a seri
ous loss would have been sustained bv
the occupauts of that row of buildings.
The desire of having the records of
the county examined by an expert is ex
pressed by a great many people, and The
Journal is of the opinion that it is the
wish of a majority of the taxpayers
of Sioux county that such on examina
tion be had. If there is anyone who has
any reason for objecting thereto the col
umns of The Journal are open for an ex
pression of their views. A cloud now
rests on the records and the people have
a right to have it lifted so that they may
Know 1 be trutn or the matter, JJeiay
will not improve the matters in the least
and the sooner it is done the better.
The question of irrigation is discuss
ed a great deal by the people. Some of
the farmers contemplate darning up
the ravines on their farms, thus creating
Lreservoirs in which to reUin the water
that would otherwise run off the surface.
That would be an excellent plan for it
could be done without any expense ex
cept the labor of' the farmer, and the
creation of bodies of water would have a
tendency to increase the rainfall. Some
advocate the erection of windmills and
the sinking of wells for the purpose of
filling reservoirs for irrigating purposes.
It would astonish many to see the
amount of water that would be accumu
lated by an ordinary pump and windmill
if kept at work throughout the year.
The Indian matters have about set
tled down in all respect. The war is
over and many of the troops have been
sent home, but quite a force will be kept
within reach of the agency for some
time. The problem now to be solved is
what is best to do with the Indians. A
council of over 8,000 was held about ten
days ago at which it was decided to ask
that James H. Cook of Sioux county be
appointed agent at .Pine Ridge, A re
port of the councij was brought here and
a number of letters were, written to tlie
Nebraska delegation at Washington, tes
tifying as to the qualifications possessed
by Mr. Cook. Both of the senators and
some, of Uw repnUtives replied that
they would urge the appointment, but
stated that under the rule of appoint
ments which obtains among tlie mem
bers, the appointment properly belongs
to South Dakota. If it' was, simply a
political appointment it would, be. all
right to let South Dakoto have it, and if
tne Indians asked for a man from that or
any other state it would be for the good
of northwest Nebraska for our people to
urge such an appointment, but if Mr.
Cook is the man who will satify the In
diana and prevent trouble in the future,
the department and the president, should
certainly listen to the request of the
chiefs who have gone to Washington to
talk with' the great father. Were it un
der ordinary circumstances the rule of
patronage should not bp. broken, but
When it is a question of the saving of
great expanse to the government and the
safety of the settlers for miles in all di
rections from the reservation, an excep
tion certainly ought to be. made. It it
the wish of all that oo more Indian trou
ble arias! The hotfaders on the fron
tier have enough to contend with with
out Indian pbaree and if the appointment
of Mr. Cook will prevent that, be U the
maa who should bo named and South
Dakota to fiveo mom other appointment
to max thing! tm.,.

Editor Journal: The following ap
peared in The Jocbnal of Jan. 1, copied
from the Inter Ocean:
At the time the National bank system
was adopted two fundamental ideas pre
vailed, first, to provide a market for
United States bonds, and second, to pro
vide a bank notecurrencv for the neoole.
The banks in their very organic life rest
ed upon tlie bonds. They could not or
ganize or live afterwards without them.
It is necessary to a correct understand
ing of the present financial situation to
recoguize these two bottom facta and the
change which has occurred as regards
them.
This opens up the most important ques
tion in American politics, aud with your
permission, I would call further atten
tion to this matter. It were impossible in
a brief history to give a history of the
most gigantic conspiracy to wreck a na
tion, that the world's history will ever
hronicle. But the dullest brain should
be able to comprehend that a rate of in
terest greater than the increase of wealth
in a country will in time consume the
whole wealth. The first great stroke of
this plot was to have the same act which
ssued the treasury notes to prosecute
the war, provide for a like amount of in
terest bearing bonds. The people were
not then watching conspirators in
congress, but their whole at
tention was in the field of war. This
was the money pirates opportunity, and
they found in the U. S. senate a willing
tool and ready accomplice. To the man
who thinks the bonds were sold to carry
on the war, let me say the law itself
shows such waa not the case. The bonds
were to be created to sink the money in
after the war waa over. In order to
have a debt for the people to have to pay
interest on and to make, a basis for a
basis for a banking system. And for
what? Tlie Inter Ocean says, "To pro
vide a bank note for the people." - Now
divert yourselves of partisan prejudice
and look at the-case as it is. It is ac
knowledged that the business of the peo
ple demand a paper currency, then why
should the people's money (the National
Treasury Note) be sunk in bonds and
then to supply the deficiency in money,
have the same people borrow a bank note
currency, which embodies none of the
national, currency, and all the bad fea
tures of a double load of debt and usury.
One debt on interest on the bonda and an
other to get money to use. What was
the use of this aatanic financial system?
It is this. It is tne English system of fi
nance, that the money of a nation must
bo founded on debt And why? Simply
for the rich to hold and the poor to pay
interest on. You see its result in Eng
land. An aristocracy of land and money
on one hand and poverty, degradation
and misery on the other. Under this
system in its fruitage the station a man
shall occupy in life is fixed by birth. If
he is born poor he must live poor and
die poor. I would be pleased to give
through your columns a detailed history
of this money despot, but for, the, present
let me give a few figures showing to the
thoughtful of all trades and professions
that through the control, of the money
volume the. banks have, lashed this na
tion over the road to the graveyard of na
tions, and to-day we stand utterly at the
mercy of a few great capitaists who have
no mercy.
The average of the national bank circu
lation for twenty five years has been
about $300,000,000 and not as the Inter-
Ocean states. The interest on this sum
for that .time at straight 10 per cent
would have been two and one half times
the principal, but at the current rates
and short loans it would have exceeded
this sum many times. After twenty-five
years of the operation of, this bond-bank
fraud, their accounts with, the people
stands thus: The comptroller, of the
currency in his report of Sept. 80, 1889,
states that the banks have loaned and
discounted to the people $1,817,900,000,
but "whither are we drifting I" One
year later, he states that we owe. the
banks $1,070,200,0001 (Annual interest
at 10 per cent, $197,020,000.) Now
where is your, money to. pay, with?
Every dollar in the U. S. will not equal
this sum and thus the banks own every
dollar in the U. S, and a neat debt
against the people of over $900,000,000
besides. Who are the masters of the sit
uation, the banks or the people? Should
the money power see fit to quit loaning
and demand a settlement, this people
would be a, homeless and property Jess
people. Then what of our boasted Re
public? To place the people still, more
at the mercy of this despotic money
power, the U. St treasurer informs us
that he has safely locked in the national.
vaults, on Dec. 1, 1890, cash $741,890,504
about one-half of the whole volume of
currency.
We stand, to-day on too brink of the
abyss into which all, the liberty loving
nations of the past bay sunken. They
sav tbat -'ratedeeert a sinking ship" but
this we canaotdo. We must either sink

A REMI5ESCEJSE.
The First
Murder Trial
Coaaty.
in Slonx
There was a little excitement at Fort
Robinson one morning in 1881 when the
report came in tliat a man was shot tlie
night before at the stage station and that
the man that did the killing was then un
der arrest and would be given a prelim
inary trial before justice of the peace
1 in the afternoon. Tlie time of
which I am writing was before Dawes or
Sioux county was orgaoized and a rail
road was not thought of. The place
where the shooting occurred was at the
Red Cloud stafe station of the Black
Hills Stage Co., which was about half
way between the Fort and Crawford. At
1 o'clock the court was called to order,
the judge in the chair. Thycourt room
was a carpenter shop (since burned down).
A place was cleared for the spetators
and seats were made by laying boards on
sawhorses. The prisoner took a seat on
the work bench among the planes, hand
saws, chisels, etc., with his pocket knife
whittling a piece of wood, and who was
defended by .a private soldier who acted
as his attorney. The first witness testi
fied that he was in the office of the stage
company at the time of the killing and
the first he knew he heard the men quar
relling and then the prisoner pulled his
gun and he heard a shot and saw the
man fall and then he, (the witness) ran
out. There were several other witnesses
whose testimony was that these two
men had been drinking and had had some
words, when they heard a shot and saw
the man fall dead. The prisoner testified
that they had been drinking some and
that tlie man who was killed was picking
on him and that he shot him in self-defence.
Then after an earnest plea by the
attorney for the defeneant ( private sol
dier) the court took the case under advise
ment until 5 o clock p. m. when the
prisoner was acquitted, but was after
wards arrested for some other of
fence and the judge of the district court
sent him up for twenty years in the pen
itentiary, part of it for the killing at
the Red Cloud stage station. W. J. M.
