Minnehaha County Considering the Pro.
priety ofPutti"g mp Bonus.
Sioux Falls Independent.
On our local page will be found the re-
suit of the conference held last Wednesday
evening between the business men of this
city and the managers Of the St, Paul &
Sioux CITY railway company. There is
some diversity of opinion on the feasibility
of giving the amount asked, 5000, some
claiming that S25,000 would have been
enough, though the great majority of our
citizens are satisfied that the proposition is
very liberal on the part of the railway men.
The entire bonus, if the $4,000 in bonds is
given, will aggregate $4,000, the right-ot-
way, depot grounds, etc., already obtained.
being considered worth Sl5,000 and for
this last our citizens have cause to thank
the enterprise of the gentlemen composing
the Sioux Falls railway company for obtain-
ing this valuable franchise, and thus reduc
ing the amount of bonus required, at so lit
tie cost.
In the light Of the experience Of other
counties in obtaining railway facilities,
Minnehaha county may be congratulated
upon the opportunity offered of obtaining .
railroad on such favorable and liberal terms.
Many people have allowed the idea to take
possession of them that this company would
demand an amount somewhat similar to that
| asked and obtained of Yankton county by
the Dakota Southern, 5000 900, and become
prejudiced against railways in consequence.
But the st. Paul company have only asked
what is fair and reasonable. The amount
added to the taxable wealth of the county
by the mere construction of the road far
exceeds the bonus asked, aside from all the
attendant benefits accruing to the county
from the increased settlement the increased
price of wheat our great staple and source
of wealth, the increased value of real prop
erty, and the decreased price of lumber, salt
coal, and all goodsneeded to supply the wants
of large and rapidly increasing population
In considering this subject Of bonus, our
people should not, because there has been
swindling railway schemes in other local
tiles, allow themselves to believe that all
railroad companies are unprincipled in
consequence. The St. Paul & Sioux City
company has ever borne the reputation O.
being an honorable company, and they ask
no aid in advance. Nothing is given unit
the company's portion Of the contract il
completed. There is no opportunity t
get the bonds, and then never build ths
road. This county has waited long time
for railway facilities; and it is safe to say
that at least two-thirds of our population
would move to other localities we're it pos
itively known that railroad would never
be built to this point, and it is fact a.
certain as death that we never will get I
road unless we give such assistance as lie:

Senor Mata, the Diaz Mexican represent

ter from Gen. Benevides, the general who
commanded the Mexican forces on the Rio
Grande, stating that lie is now in New Or

the United States government regarding the
recent occurrences upon the border. 1t is
supposed that several weeks will be re-
quired to finish the report. which is intend.
cd to be quite exhaustive; but when the
same ia finished Gen. Benevides will 60 to
Washington, and with Senior Mata will pre-.
sent the report to this government, and
urge upon the president and secretary Of
state the recognition Of the Diaz govern
ment of Mexico. Senor Mata seems very
ssnguine Of an early recognition of his gov
ernment, because, as he says, recent results
on the border have demonstrated the will
lngness of the Diaz government TO conform
TO the terms of the extradition treaty and
to suppress the repetition of Mexican raids

At a banquet in Ch.ttauooea. given to Il

At q banquet in Chattanooga, given to the
presidential party, on Thursday evening
Judge Key said, in regard to his having
spoken of his erring southern brethern of
the south while in Vermont, that he had
entered the rebellion as heartily rs any
man and was sorry he could not be
more rebellious and carried it on more Wig
orously than he did. He thought he was
right, and he must confess very frankly
that hehad no repentance or confession to
make for the part he had taken, but would
say frankly that We made very great mis-.
take, committeda a very serious error, and
after referring to the efforts of the south,
said We had accomplished no results, excep,
it be the emancipation Of slavery, which We
certainly did not fight for. 1t was an error,
which the numberless widows and orphans,
the 100000 graves and the puplic debt,
which all had to pay, and no result acom-
plished, could testify.
