The Bulletin Is determined not to be
satisfied with the Democratic Conser-

sent TO answer all the irrelevant ques-
tions It's fancy may desire. The plat
form adopted at Baton Rouge is a good
platform, and lays the foundations OF II
governmental policy which will pacify
the State and give encouragement TO
our commerce and industry. But this
does not satisfy our neighbor. 1t in

declare that be has no designs upon the
United States Senatorship. and will
under no circumstances accept it. It
also demands that Mr.. Ogden, the can
didate for Attorney General, shall de-

Nichols nor Mr.. Ogden will deem it
proper to open their canvass by reply

OUR Indian war seems to have at
tracted the attention of the British
Parliament, inquiry having been
made whether the conflict between
the Indians and L. S. troops was
not a breach of treaty, and also
whether, as many Of the Sioux are
British subjects, the Government
to lntetere in the interests
OF ITS subjects and humanity. The
Government replied that as at pres
ent advised they had no information
that British Indian subjects were
connected with the troubles in the
United States, and had no intention
to interfere.

Labor and Prosperity.

The uncertainty of wealth is
proverbial-the descendants of the
rich of one generation being the
poor Of the next. The cause is too
often apparent in the enervation,
want of economy, enterprise AMI
torethougit, IN tn inheritor5 OF
wealth, when compared with their
less fortunate neighbors. Has it
ever suggested itself to You how
sure is the reward of no est toll
when properly directed ? The
wealthy rising men of to-day as a
BODY, are almost without exception
self made. The secret Of their
success, sought after by many, is as
plain as mondays sun. They do
not float INCREASINGLY with the
stream of humanity, but in their
separate callings struggle hard
against the stream W hen times
are hard they are not seen on the
street corners complaining Of their
lot; but reading the future by the
unerring light of the past, know
that the dark clouds on the horizon
but foreteIl the coming sunshine.
Then little savings are scrupiously
cared for and judiciously
invested, while the croaker com
forts himself with dismal prophesies
and the result is an abundant and
golden harvest. Such an occasion
is the present. For three years en-
terprise has been paralyzed, and
the most dismal prophesies have
been apparently well nigh realized,
but the busy marts of commerce,
now deserted, shall be thronged
again the cheerful buzz of the fac :
tory, now dismal in their quietude,.
shall resound with honest industry.
Then what will be the result? The
dollar judiciously invested shall be
doubled and tripIed; and the poor
man unknown and unheard of, who
takes stock in the prosperity of his
town and nation, shall be extolled
and honored. To all we say: keep
not your means idle, pay your debts,
take advantage of the profitable in
vestments now offered, whether it
be in houses, lands or business en-
terprlses, and our word for it you
will not regret it. The cry of over
production is a farce and delusion.
There is room enough in this broad
land of ours for every honest son OF
toll. Hard work faithfully follow
ed will bring success every time

Growth of the United States.

The American nation began its
first century of existence with a
population of 2,75O,ooO. 1t has
now, by the best estimates, 4,675,-
600. The area has been extended
from 100000 to 3,6O3, ,844 square
miles. The development of agri-
culture, under the pressure of im-
migration and the stimulus of me-
chanical invention, has been utterly
without precedent. The value of
manufacturers has advanced from
$50, 900 to 81, 200, 100000. For

TELEGRAPHY.
This Latest Wonder of Telegraphy-
Transmission of Musical and Vocal
Sounds.

Boston Traveller.
The readers of The Traveller
have been made acquainted with
the wonderful inventions ofsProfes-
sor Bell, by which musical and vo-
cal sounds can be and have been
sent over the electric wires, but few
If any are aware of the wonderful
results which are sure to follow
these improvements in telegraphy.
\ few nights ago Professor Bell
was III communication with a tele-
graphic operator in New York, and
commenced experimenting with one
of his inventions pertaining to the
transmission Of musical sounds. He
made use of bis phonetic organ and
played the tune of "America,n and
asked the operator at New York
what be heard.
Il hear the tune of America"
replied New York; "give US anoth-
er."
Professor Bell then played Auld
Lang Syne. "What do you hear
now ?"
Il hear the tune of Auld Lang
Syne, with the full chords, distinct
ly," replied New York.
Thus, the astounding discovery
has been made that a man can play
upon musical instruments in New
York, New Orleans, or London, or
Paris, and be heard distinctly in
Boston If this can be done, why

ecute the most artistic and beauti

but of fifty years. There were few
banks IN the colonies in 1916 there
are more than 5000 now. Internal
Improvements and the common
school system has kept pace with
immigration.
While annexation has quad
rupled our area since the Revolu-
ton, it has contributed very little to
the population. The purchase of
Louisiana, Florida, California and
New Mexico brought in fewer than
100000 inhabitants, and the acquisi-
ton of Texas and Oregon merely
restored to citizenship those who
had emigrated from the United
States.
The aggregate area covered by
population in 1890 was 2@9,935
square miles. The main line of set
temont ran 1000 miles along the
coast from Penobscot to the Alta
maha, with an average extent inland
of from 100 to $50 miles. A few
pioneers had made their homes in
the Ohio Valley there were two or
three patches of settlement in Ken
tucky there was a village in Indi
ana and another in Michigan; and
there were bands of adventurous
spirits as far west as Illionois. The
Louisiana treaty of 1903, supple
mented by the Oregon Treaty of
1916, added LII, ,93l Sqnare miles

now 3,003, ,844 square mites, or l.

yet the vocal sounds are not loud
enough to be heard by more than
one or two persons. But if the hu-
man voice can now be sent over the

two or three known parties are

may be recognized, we may soon
have distinguished men delivering

BLACK HILLS.
Rich Fields at DeadWood.

Black Hills Pioneer, (Deadwood City,, July l..
Just before going to press this
Saturday evening, we heard it re-
ported that Nos IA and Is below
discovery, owned and operated by
Bob kennon, was yielding enor-
mously. Being determined to know
whether these reports were true, we
dropped the work in hand and
walked to his mine, which is loca
ted about three-quarters Of a mile
up Deadwood from this city. From
Mr.. Kennon we learn that he owns
aud controls by lease, claims Nos.
4 and Is below discovery, on
Deadwood. Up to last Wednes-
day he had not made much more
than wages, but believing that he
would yet strike it he kept "peg-
ging away" and on Wednesday
last he struck the pay streak prop
er. Since that time the yield has
constantly been increasing, and
yesterday, after a fourteen-hours'
run with two set Of sluices, he
cleaned up little over $1,000. We
saw in his cabin, in three gold-pans,
over 81 500, taken out since that
time. 1t was '1ylng around loose"
like so much old iron.
Last Monday the owners of No.
6 below discovery, on Deadwood,
struck the pay streak on their claim
and took ont $4,000. This is the
largest yield for one days work vet
recorded in the hills. From $4O0
to 500 has been quite common,
and the yield has been as high as
$500; but No. 6 carries off the red
ribbon.
We have good news from the
Cape HON district, near Montana
City, and about three miles from
Dcadwood. Mr.. I. L. Sutherland,
district recorder, states that Mr..
kimball and his two sons, who own
No. 50 above discovery in that dis
trict, ''pauned out" sl6o on
W ednesday last, and the yield Of
one pan was over sic. No. 81, just
above, owned by Sutherland &
Lake, is said to be the best claim
in the hills. We are not at liberty
to state what this claim is yielding,
but if our information is correct,
the owners have reason TO thank
their lucky stars. This claim has
only been open few days.
The miners, so far As we have
conversed with them, are in good
heart and well satisfied with the
outlook. Mr.. Z. G. Olmstead,
from Bear gulch, some thirty-tive
miles from here, was in the city
yesterday; says that while many of
the mines are not as yet making
money, the prospect grows better
every day; only here and there a
claim is being thoroughly worked.
Negro gulch is paying largely, and
the gold is very fine. The miners
in that gulch are taking out from
s. to $50 a day to the man. Some
rich hill diggings have been discov-
cred on Bear and Sand creeks re-
Gently. 1t will take both time and
money to develop this sort of placer
mines, and while tue yield Of the
Hills this year will surprise many,
it will not be one-tenth as great as
