something very curious about the al

N E1s StNUOsttcS " A"s"e AoS's~os ~ 49,
About one year ago, in an article written
for the Bismarck TRIBUNE, urging the
people to assemble and consider the qucs-
ton of building new school house in the
city, stated as follows:
"When the first installmcnt of our Union
School is erected and dedicated, then the
object for which l have striven so long,
shall have been accomplished and-1 shall
ask to resign the SUPPLEMENTARY, an
office that brings me much responsibility
some i'll will and no money. If the pros
pect of vacant office does not incite our
people to 60 to work, the case is indeed
hopeless"
Whatever may have been the incentive
our people soon afterward did 60 to work
with determined will, and the result of
their combined efforts stands before us
today in tangible shape. -
Having gained my purpose in the erec-
ton of this building, would now gladly
resign, did feel that could here leave
nv work with honor. But there is yet
one piece of uncompleted work, one task
that I have set myself to do. That is to
see that the teachers who are to occupy
this house shall be worthy of it, and of
the intelligent community in which they
are to labor The school year begins Sep
tembcr 1st, and with one years prosperity
thus assured, ! can confidently leave the
work for others TO complete. shall there

Justice I'm the Hills.

Judge Barnes made some pointed re-
marks in relation to the necessity for a
keencr sense of justice in handling crimi-
nails in the Hills, during the recent term
Of court there, and we are glad to know
that they were felt and appreciated, as
shown by the comments of the press and
the result Of trials had before him.
The shooting of Hoffman, the murder by
Hunt, and the unfortunate affair resulting
in the death of Lloyd Forbes, not TO speak
of the murder Of Lee, and other crimes
grow out of a state Of society which no
community can long bear without suffer
ing serious consequences. Hoffman was
murdered because he could not pay a bal
ance of 5000 due his murderer. Hunts
victim could not furnish his friend as good
bed as he thought he deserved, and
Forbes was killed becaxse 4 negro said he
handed him letter requesting Gays wife
to meet him by moonlight, though the
character of young Forbes was such that
Gay ought not to have presumed for a mo-
ment that he would have insulted any wo-
man. Even if Forbes had been the author
of the letter good horsewhipping would
have been severe enough punishment.
But justice had been allowed to run wild
in the Hills so long that many had come
to think that an insult, or fancicd wrong,
could only be properly resented by the use
80 ;.I,, al <>f Il,
cases, however, was meted out, and that
fact will do much toward quicting the
wild elements in the hills.
Judge Barnes added many laurels in the
Hills to his already splendid reputation.
The same is true of Messrs. John A. Stoy-
ell and \. D. Thomas, of this city, who
were ged on several important cases
during the term. Among the members of
the Dcadwood bar there are many bright
intcllccts, among them ex-judges, cxmem-
bers of Congress, Sc, but there were none
more able, or more successful! than our
Bismarck attorneys, of whom we are justly
proud. One Of these, by the way, John A..
Stoyell, will be presented for prosecuting
attorney of this district, at the coming
election, and he will no doubt be elected.
He should be, for he is the best fitted for
the work of any man in the district. As
there is no politics in the position the
TRIBUNE nominatcs him and calls on all
men who want to see crime speedily pun
ished to support him. ,.. a.:

they conclude to outrage the sense Of jus,
tice entertained by the Black Hills people
It wont do to assume that they lie in pre-
ferring tllei. claims. 1t won't do to pre-.
sumo that the Hills country is largely
democratic aud cut down its representation
accordingly. The people of that region
are willing to concede to tue agricultural
regions, casting one vote to five, The same
relative strength in the convention thai:
they, casting one vote to three, claim, and
they believe that this concession is great
enough. r E ~
All schemes for the division of Dakota
are practically dead. There is no hope for
any Of them in the present congress. But
Dakota will soon ask admission as state
and it is far more important that the Re-
publican party goes into its relations with
the state united, its several parts acting
in harmony, than it is that candidate
from any particular locality should sue
coed. ~
The delegate elect will, to a great ex-
tent, shape the destinies of the new state,
and it is importantth his election should
be by the whole territory, not as the result
of sectional contest.
As the Black Hills people have little
voice in the territorial legislature it is the
more important that they lie caused to feel
that in the national congress they will have
at least an equal show with other portions
of the territory.
Presuming that there is little reason to
anticipate harmony in the republican con-
vention, the Lincoln county advocate wise
ly says Of the campaign:
It will be break-ncck campaign for somebody.
and in our opinion. more liable to be futa to the
one not the choice of the Black Hills. Unless
that portion Of our territory is marvellous ex-
ception to the first days of mining country. they
can and Will control the election OF the delegate
this fall. 1t will be the man they want, whether
democrat or republican. and none other need ap-
not in their anxiety to secure their favOrite, who
ever he may be, lose sight of discretion in con-
sidering the nomination. as they arc not able to
triae or carry any other burden than sneh az at
port. But the safcst plan Is to designate some
one that they will unite upon.
The TRIBUNE prefers the reelection Of
Judge Kiddcr, but it won't do to attempt
to force any candidate on the majority
without giving them chance to aid as
fully as they have just cause to feel they
are entitled to in his nomination.
