The question rests with the Democrats in
reckoning exacted at their hands by the peo-
pie. One of the heaviest loads we had to
carry in the last canvass was the charge that
the Democrats had INSTRUCTED this measure.
It will be well nigh fatal blunder if they
allow the present session to expire without the
passage of the bill. We speak plainly because
we regard this as a matter of vast Importance
to the party and to the South. We urge every
Virginian in Congress to do his duty in the
matter. -Lynct6ury Neaos.
The Staunton Vindicator gives some OF the
best arguments in favor of National aid to ed
ucation that we have yet read. However, we
would not advise the Virginia delegation to
to support the measure from policy but because
it is just and right 1t is not a political mea-
sure and ought to be supported by both DEM
ocrats and Republicans. Val5ey Echo.
Our representatives ought to work for the
passage of that measure. Taking everything
into consideration, it is the best that can be
done for us. We can't indulge our theories in
defiance of the spirit and temper of the peo-
pie. We must be practical.-DaaaUiIle Times.
1t is to be hoped that the southern represen-
tatives in Congress will not allow any strained
ideas of strict construction to deter them from
giving hearty support to this bill, which pro-
| poses to divide a large sum annually for educa-
tional purposes among the States in proportion
to illiteracy. Such an aid to our crippled school
| system would be God send indeed ,-CHdT-
lottesuilge Chronicle.
The BLAIR bill now before Congress is what
the South needs, for the development OF
| her material resources and the advancement
of her industries Industrial South.
There is no danger in the bill, nothing Of
usurpation by the Federal Government or Of
GENERALIZATION" Public sentiment was never
healthier as regards such questions than now,
and nobody but a dyspeptic political crank or a
hardened ''strict constructionist" can fine
any objection to it. Let the bill pass and
speedily, or Virginia will want to know the
reason why.-Roaaaoke Leader.
We hope Congress will at the earliest posi-.
BILE day pass the Blair educational bill, as this
bill promises to give the State of Virginia an
average of near million dollars annually for
seven years, an amount equal to tax IF thir.
| ty cents on the hundred dollars of all the real
estate in the Commonwealth -Estilloi1ge Bar,-
| aaer.
How many Virginia candidates for the Leg
islature are opposed to the BLAIR bill? Car
anybody name one ?-Ric7smaond Dispatch.

is to permit the present national banks to

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1885-07-04

The Springfield Times asserts that the
masses Of the democratic party are still
in favor Of division and admission, and
that only the leaders who have secured,
or expect to secure, offices are solicitous
about the retention of our territorial
form Of government. The Times re-
marks:
whether the rank and file Of the
party-those who do not want or ex-
pect Office are going to repudiate their
position of two years ago, because those
who have got office (by the grace Of the
national leaders who are opposed to
dividing Dakota) say 80, is something to
be decided in the near future. 1t is
hardly probable that the intelligent
democrats, who, like all true Dakotians,
believe we are entitled to admission
without further delay, are to be bam-
boozled by those who seem to care for
nothing further than the attainment OF
their own selfish ends.

Free Trade Democrat: For many
years past. nearly every town in Dako-
10, at their city elections, have elected
full republican tickets We are pleased
to note the fact that since the change in
the national administration, such has
not been the case. A great many of the
largest cities, not only in Dakota, but in
the great northwest, have placed in the
field, and elected good democrats. To
substantiate that statement, we have
but to refer to st. Paul, Grand Forks,
Yankton, Redfield, Pierre, and the
latest one, the capital city of the terri
tory, Bismarck. At the municipal cleo
ton held there last week, a full demo-
cratic ticket was elected. with Justus
Bragg at its head, for mayor. MIR. Bragg
is vice president of the First National
Bank of that city, and will no doubt
make an efficier. This, certainly should
encourage democrats throughout the
territory, and We are sure We are not
stating falsehood when we say that
before many years the democrats will
be in the majority in Dakota.

From the advance proof containing
the totals Of the various mineral pro-
ducts Of the United States. furnished us
by Albert Williams Jr., chief of division
of mining statistics we extract the fol
lowing:

ties estimate the production in 1884 at
$50. 800 900 gold and &iS, 10000 silver
Geo ming ratc) total, S79,6o0, 900. This
WAS an increase of $S00.0O0 gold and
$2.60O.0 600 silver, as compared with 1888.
The gold production was equivalent to
,4S0949 troy ounces and the silver to
81, GA sos troy ounces.
Copper The production in 1884, in
Guiding 2,S5S,154 pounds made from i'm
ported pyrites, was l45,22l ,93i pounds.
worth l7,7s9,687, at an average price of
Ia cents per pound in New York City
The amount Was 2S,O70,l39 pounds
greater than the production of 1883
but the value was S275,l20 less than
that for 1888, owing to the decline in
price. In 1854 4 4,22i.000 pounds Of blue
stone (sulphate OF copper, blue vitriol')
were made; worth, 1T 43 cents per
pound, SlSl ,632.
TINA little tin ore was taken out in
the course Of development work in Da-
kota, Wyoming, Virginia, and Alabama
but the only metallic tin made was a
few hundred pounds from ore Of the
Black Hills (Dakota) mines made in
sample tests at New York City pending
the building Of reduction works at the
mines.
Platinum.-The amount mined in
1884 was about $50 troy ounces, worth,
crude, 81 per ounce.
Nickel Production Of nickel contain
ed in copper-nickel alloy, 1850 pounds,
worth, at IS cents per pound, $4S,4l2
an increase of $3.50 pounds, but de-
cline of S4,50S in total value, owing to
the falling off in price.
Mica.-The production Of merchant
able sheet mica, not including mica
waste, was 47,4lO pounds, valued at
1868, ,525.
Feldspar.-The production was 10000
long tons, or 5000 tons less than in 1888.
Its value at the quarries was $55,ll2.
Asbestus.-The amount mined was
about 1000 short tons, worth about
$50 600.

Was the case when the item was made
the other day that the Elkhorn line had
let the contract for l25 miles Of grading
from White river west to G. Z. Treat.
This item has been extensively stolen,
but it was off, both as TO direction and
and distance 1t is 100 miles of grading

line is not west into Wyoming but north
from White river into Dakota. The

through Rapid City, but about three
miles to one side, just far enough to kill

grade does not have TO be finished this
season, and it is doubtful if it can be, as
the work averages $4,000 cubic vds. to
