saturday, the 2Sth of November, 1885
il the day set apart by the people Of the
Southern Hills to celebrate the advent
Of the iron horse into the Black Hills.
The account in detail of the ceremony

are sorry for it but it cannot be helped.
But to those who like ourselves have u
vivid imagination this disappointment is
~mitigated in part by giving free run to
our fancy. In u minds eye We see the
people assembling from all quarters,
north, south, east and west. They come
in wagons and carriages, horseback and

ceive and give u welcome to the long
hoped for railroad. And as the people
draw nearer 1t can be seen that their
eyes are aglow with q new light and
fastened on ole particular spot, IL is the
end of the track. And now q shout is
heard, and looking up We see just com
ing around the curve the locomotive.

moving like q thing Of life, q few mo-
ments and it 10 here, the crowd swing

In another place Of this issue will be
found III article from the Deadwood
Times, embodying the substance Of an
order and letter of instructions to Major
Champlin, receiver Of the land Office ut
Deadwood, concerning the manner Of
making final proof on homes leads and
prescriptions. 1t will be read by hun
dreds in the Hills, and by thousands
scattered owe the territory with much
interest and mors Indignation. We re.
gard the order as unreasonable, unlaw.
fll and unjust, and We rely. on the presi-
dent and secretary Of the interior to set
this matter right before it so utterly
confuses land titles as to almost destroy
the value of large portion of the land
of the territory, and rendering homele q
thousands Of good, honest, hard work
ing men, who have gone through all the
hardship and expense of making them
selves q home in the wilderness or
trackless frontier, only to lose it at last
by the trifing ruling of a commissioner,
| who has no conception Of the duties Of
his Office under the law. The whole
| spirit and intention of which is to en-.
courage men and women to forego the
pleasures and comforts of civilization
by offering them liberal inducements to
settle on these wild lands, for they are
not worth a cent to the government
until they are settled upon, as popula.
ton alone gives value to land. The
people who are most affected and dam
aged by this order are those who have
done no wrong, and had no desire to dc
anything but fulfill the requirements OF
the law, according to the rulings Of the
land commissioner who is supposed to
be competent authority or all matters
touching public lands. Again, what can
be more unreasonable or contrary to the
spirit and wording of the constitution
than this retroactive ex post facto edict
whereby thousands are made criminals
and are punished for not obser wing the
terms OF a ruling before the ruling was
made. In fact the more we reflect on
this matter the more outrageous il
seems, until at last we are constrained
to say, that, although the hand tina,
writes this, has been in the habit OF
casting q democratic ticket for twenty
five years, yet, if this ruling goes un
checked and unchanged, it will be q
hard blow to and a hard commentary
on the wisdom of our democratic ad
ministration. We say this providing
the report is true, but still with q lineer.
inY doubt and a faint hope that the
commissioners ruling has not been
infinitely and correctly reported. We
fear it has, bat shall wait for q confirma
ton OF it before w say more.

In gold and mica properties, and comes
