Sioux City journal Office.

We have long desired to visit the Jour.
nal establishment at Sioux City, and on
Friday evening last our wish was graft
fed. The editor Geo. D. Perkins LEFT his
sanctum and personally escorted Us
through the building. In the composing
room the type settlers were busily engaged
setting matter for the morning paper.-
How few Of us realize that while we are
consulting our leisure, or sleeping, that
busy tired hands are flying from case to
stick, under the gas light during the night
watches for our mornings benefit. From
the composing room to the room below
between stacks Of paper piled ceiling high; !;
into the bindery where tables, shelves and
floors bear samplss. of work finished and
uncompleted, down into the basement We
pass where the Presses are ranged that do
the immense work of this establishment
Newspaper and Job Presses OF almost ev-
cry size and make occupy the center Of
room, ard the racks and cabinets Of Job
type line the sides. The engine of eight
horse power was barely warm with a
smouldoring fire under its boiler, and the
dim light of the hand lamp cast wlerd
shadows around the room whose silence
was alone broken by our footsteps. and
voices, but at midnight, the visitors ears
would ring with the clang and clatter Of
the press, moving by the power of the
black giant reused to action by the stokcr,
and glare Of burning gas would illuminate
the checrless basement into bright hail Of
industry. This then was where the Jour-
na! that the Sioux Valleyitcs daily look
for is printed, from this diugy lower floor
goes ont in thousands each morning Of
the week, one Of the best printed papers
west OF Chicago, its columns are replo.s
with the la:cs. kilograms from the Arsoci-
ate Press, general and local news, and able
dissertations upon the topics Of the day
from the pen of its genial editor. 1t has
become not Only a power but its patrons
arc warmly attached aad rapidly increas
ing. This prominence has beer hard and
we'll earned tor it is an advancement from
a humble beginning.
The business men of Sioux City appre-
ciate the great benefit the Journal has
been TO them rs its local patronage indi-
Gates. The managers are gentlemen who
haye proved themselves worthy the high
rank in journalism their individual merits
have placed them, and that long years of
success await them is our hearty wish-

Sioux Falls Pantagraph: Two new
postottices have recently been established
on the Skunk Lake route-Tiopi and
Brant Lake. This makes over sixty Off
cies which send their OFT going mail in
bulk to Sioux Falls for distribution, and
whose incoming mail also comes here in
bulk for distribution to them. Four large
mails have to be handled here every day
inside Of two hours, making this one of
the most important offices in the territory
and yet the pay is not equal to that given
to some postmasters with not one-quarter
the business to do.
Yankton Press: The Chicago, Mil
waukee s. st. Paul railroad officers have
coalafed upon the members Of he late
Yankton railroad committee the unsnlicit
cd and unexpected compliment Of an anu
al pass each over all the lines Of that cor.
poration. This looks as though the Yank
ton committee made something Of an i'm
preston while ii was In Milwaukee
Secretary Hand received a telegram this
morning informing him Of his reappoint
nseat, yesterday, BY the president, TO The
office Of secretary Of Dakota territory
Mr.. Hand has given four years of service
in this position which has been entirely
satisfactory to the people and to the gov
ernment and his reappointment will b.
heartily endorsed by those whom he ha.
so faithfully served. A speedy confirma
ton viii be acceptable to the people Of Da
ko'a.

Harper's Magazine for February, while
making a marked impression by the ex
traordinary beauty OF its illustrations,
is even more remarkable for the tempta-
tions by which it solicits a reading, and
for the satisfaction it gives the reader.
The exquisite illustrations of Mr.. Beard S
article, 1.-The Treasures of the Deep" do
not sugar coat a pill the letter press is
as entertaining as the pictures. Mr..
Benjamin's paper on Southern France
presents some very novel illustrations,
but he tells story of what he saw in a
recent trip in a way SO interesting that
we could even ignore the pencillings OF
the artist. Phebe Earle Gibbons writes
about French farmers, without the &C.
compartment of engravings, but her
portraiture is so close and faithful that
every paragraph is picture. The illus
trations of the Brazilian article cat the
Mouth of the Amazons." and of Mr.. F.
G. Mather's "Winter Sports in Canada
fine as they are-only supplement the
graphic pen and ink-sketches of our in
teresting American neighbors, north and
south. Mr.. Horace E. Scudder's admir-
able paper, Education by Hand" con-
tains few excellent illustrations
glimpses of the work of the Institute OF
Technology in Boston-but it is chiefly
valuable for its comprehensive treatment
of the whole subject of manual education.
The series of illustrated papers on "Old
Flemish Masters is concluded, to be fol
lowed next month by paper on Rem
brandt, the first of a similar series on the
Dutch Masters.
In addition to the wonderful variety
of literary and artistic attractions, We
have in the five editorial departments g
rich store of instruction and entertain
ment. Mr.. Curtis, in the Editors Easy
Chair, gives US some novel glimpses O
Old New York and discusses the Gam
beta duel, the Tell legends, and Mrs
Whitman's poems. The Literary Rec
ord occupies seven pages, giving com
| prehensive review of recent books. Tb'
Scientific and Historical record ado
their usual quota of useful information
and the Drawer is excellent.

FOR MITCHELL
REDUCED RAILROAD RATES.

People who are going to or coming
from Kansas or Texas will again have
cause to thank the NJ. K. Il L. Railway,
from the fact that, commencing with
February LIST, 1879, they will make a
heavy reduction in passenger rates to
and from Kansas and Texas, not only in
through but in local rates. They will
reduce their local passenger rates over
all their main line and branches In
Kansas to four cents per mile. With
their many miles of track this reduction
will have very material effect, especi-
ally on passenger rates from Hannibal,
Mo-, to Kansas points and at the same
| time it makes a reduction in through
rates to Northern Texas, both from Han
nibal and ST. Louis. 4 short time
since, when they reduced their local
rates in Missouri to three cents per mile,
reduction of five dollars was made,
in some cases, in through rates to points
in Kansas and now that they have
again cut down local rates, the people
who travel, or who are emigrating tC
Kansas or Texas, should thank this lib
eral corporation, the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railway. A neatly printed sheet
showing the new rates of fare from ano
to all prominent points, viii be issued
February 1st, and will enable the public
Is see the heavy reductions. Copies, We
are informed, will be mailed free to al
who send their address to Jas. ID. Brown

Resumption of specie payments has
now taken place and we have three
kinds of dollars, the paper, the gold and
the silver, all legal tender for the pay
ment of debts, and therefore, all practi-
cally equal. The creditor class cannot
legally select any particular kind OF
money in which to be paid, but must
submit to the convenience of the debtor.
No other nation on the globe has as
sound and elastic system of currency
as the United States now offers. With
the engravers art and her extensive gold
and silver mines the government can at
any time expand the currency to meet
all the growing necessities of trade with
out depending upon other lands. There
is not the least doubt but that green
backs will continue to be the favOrite
medium of exchange and will do the
bulk of the business of the country, and
if any kind of money is hereafter liable
to command a'premium over the Others
il is treasury notes.
