The river-and-harbor bill which was
yesterday signed by tho President ap-
propristes sll2,50O for the improve
mept Of James river. We speak for
all good citizens of Richmond, ire
spective Of their party affiliations,
when We commend the action of the
President in signing the bill. And
what is true IS regards Richmond may
be set down ~ true as regards all
other places interested in the river-and-
hsrbor bill. The friends the President
has made by bis wise and statesman
like course in this matter are not con-
fined to the Democratic party.

~, CrrvELAND's Administration

NJ, CrrvELAND's Administration
h.s been one Of surprisss--ons Of
axressble surprises to even some OF his
greatest admirers. Truly, not since the
d.vs of ANDREW JACKSON have we
had . man in the presidential chair
Who has shown himself to be more
independent, more courageous, and more
capable Of rising superior to the
influences Of his particular section.
Yesterday be signally demonstrated his
ability to emancipats himself from the
traditional policy Of his State in the
matter Of Federal appropriations to
rivers and harbors. The hope We ex-
pressed recently in discussing the
prospects Of the rivsr-snd-harbor bill,
that Mr.. CLEvELAND's horizon
would not prove 80 limited .

his fsllow-citizsns Of the Empire State,
hse been realized. Our fear, and the
fear Of many others, that when be came
To consider that measure he would bot
besbls to break away from New York
provincialism, has not been justified.
This morning We publish the gratifying
intelligence that the President has sp.
proved the river.snd-hArbor bill. In
taking this step the President has
not only shown that he has considered
the question from the standpoint Of 9
statesmsn, but has strengthened him
self and his party. He has not only
vindicated his claim to be considered
the President of the whole country, but,
We question not, has rendered it certain
that the next House Of Representatives

bill might have made the COM

Free Trade-Agaln.

In commenting last week upon Q
paragraph which had appeared in the
HIGHLAND Recorder, we said that there
was not . Free-Trade Democratic paper
in Virginia, and that the Democrats,
who were set for the destruction Of
Mahoneism and sectionslism, would not
allow their enemies to make the issues
upon which they we're to 80 into the
campaign Of next fall. The Recorder
made an attempt to sustain its posi-
zion, but did not succeed very we'll,
ror, We ere inclined to think, to its
own satisfaction.
There has just been an authorits-
tive declaration Of the creed Of the
Democrats party Of the Ninth Virginia

Real Advancement.

During the past year there haye been
indications from every part or the min.
ing field Of the gradual increase in in.
terest and Improvement in public
opinion regarding mining matters. The
number Of steadily outputting mines in
different parts of the country have been
gradually increased. The bullion ship
ments, Notwithstanding the depressed
price of copper, silver and lead, will COM
pare favorably with any other period in
the history of mining operations. The
wild speculative movement of stocks,
which largely overshadowed the real
and productive basis enterprise in this
field, has been less pronounced and
prominent. Investments of capital have
been more cautiously made with uni.
formly better results. improvements
in methods of mining and treating ores,
with better transportation facilities,
have not only added to the profit on all
grades of ore but have made other and
lower grades available for market.
Public dividends of the older mines
have been steadily maintained. The
disappointment Of loss and unfavorable
results from inexperienced and foolish
investments have been largely forgotten;
new discoveries have been made in Old
and new fields, widely extending the
limit of operations. All these things
have had a silent but important influ-
ence In working a revolution in public
sentiment and in attracting the atten-
ton of business men again to invest
ment in these fields.
The sudden outbursts Of speculative
excitement in questionable stocks in
San Francisco shows the danger Of ex.

The Black Hills.

The Bulletin of the Commissioner of
Immigration for November has been re-
ceived, from which we clip the follow
ing excerpts of interest appearing under
the heading of Dakota's Free Homes:
"In the Deadwood BLACK Hills dis
trict, the area taken up from January
1st to October lst, 1886, was 233 1888
acres. Only a little Of this was covered
by ACCOMPLISHMENTS, but a considerable
amount of land which is not yet survey
ed has been taken and is held by
settlers. Estimating the unsurveyed
area that has been settled on at 100000
acres from the grand total Of 1000, 0O0
acres of vacant agricultural lands in the
district on January LIST, 1886, would
leave 666,0O0 acres as the amount o,
vacant government land open to entry
in the peadwood district on October Is,
1886.
1T is to be borne in mind that this
land district comprises not only the
Black Hills of Dakota proper, but &
large foot-hill area, extending out Oh
three sides into the plains.
"Within the Hills, the choice farming
lands in the valleys, parks and noun
tain prairies, have for the most par
long been taken up, and on account o
their wonderful fertility and the higf
prices for produce and grain always
commanded in the home market are
now held at good fgures-from $40 t.
$40 an acre--the farms, or ranches, con
tanning from less than 100 acres up Il
several thousand.
"But around the Hills. as describe,
in the pamphlet to which attention /
called, there is plenty Of land, some o
it well situated and watered, and tn
most of it available for farming pur
poses.
"The coal and timber Of the Blacl
Hills, not to speak Of its vast minera
wealth, will prove a great attraction 70
settlers, on being utilized more an
more, and cheapened, in this outlyin
belt Of prairie and plains country, upoI
the more complete development Of tina
region Of the railroad"

A Decision Reviewed.

It is a righteous decision, as well as
good law, that afflrms the right Of the
unmarried woman who has entered
public land to complete her residence
and proof after marriage. There should
be no obstacle to marriage interposed in
the name of the Government, for the
aims and end In view through giving
free homes to settlers are directly pro-
noted by every wedding that takes
place on the agricultural frontiers. The
young woman who marries is the very
best kind of a settler, and she deserves
q patent to her land as a wedding pres
ent, instead Of a snub, and a sheer,
coupled with the rejection Of her entry,
Dakota has reason to be proud of her
women, very many Of whom have earn.
ed a $50 acre farm by an honest compli.
ance with the law, and she extends an
earnest invitation to the laboring wo,
men of New England and the fair sex
everywhere. to come out and partake Of
the similar benefits yet to be had in
portions of the territory. They are as
sured Of a home, and there's no better
place to get a husband. They may take
mp their land, and safely marry after
ward, under the law as it is held by Mr..
Secretary Lamar. who has shown HIM
self on so many occasions to be q sound
lawyer and the settlers friend, and who
has 10Y earned the gratitude Of the
women Of the west, by that strict adj
herance to law and equity which has
characterized his every official act
