We wonder why men pass by the church
to found clubs and brotherhoods and or
ders. They will have them and they
ought TO have them until the church is in
its divine love what its founder destined
it 10 be-the brotherhood in Christ of the
children of our God and Father What
the world needs to-day is not aims, not
hospitals, not homes of mercy alone. 1t
needs the spirit and the power Of the love
of Christ. 1t needs the voice, the ear, the
hand and the heart of Christ seen in and
working in his children. No powers OF
government. no prestige of social position,
no prerogatives of church authority can
meet the issues of this hour. We have
waited already too long. Brotherhood
men will have, and it will be the brother
hood of the commune or the brotherhood
in Christ as the children of our God and
Father. Infdelity answers no questions,
heals no wounds, fulflls no hopes. The
gospel will do, is doing to-day what it has
done through all the ages, leading men
out of sin and darkness and despair to the
liberty of sons of God.

A Rude Comparison

c. Jake, the Pilots inimitable Fulsom
Spring Creek correspondent, is fairly
shocked over SANKEY'S objectionable
rudeness in comparing us with an old
maid, and is kind enough to say in a
late letter to that sterling sheet, that
such a comparison, would wickedly
wound the taut strung nerves Of many
Of the best of women made sensitive by
wooing too wistful to win Had we
more carefully studied the somewhat
complex Pilotic effusion in which the
ungallant comparison occurs, our gentle
wrath would have been quickly turned
to unalloyed complacency realizing the
happy fact Of our having much the best
of the too hasty comparison. We
sincerely commend c. Jake to the kind
very kind. extremely kind constellation
Of the old maids Of the county in gener-
al, and Spring creek in particular.

Tin.

From reliable source il has been
learned that Prof. Vincent,s report will
be submitted to the English syndicate
about the first Of March. The three tons
or over Of tin ore which arrived on
the other side on the 10Th inst, was min
ed by the professor while here, labled
and boxed and shipped for the express
purpose of proving to the incredulous
what the Black Hills possessed in the
matter Of tin ores, and assisting in the
scientific report for which the Professor
was ostensibly sent to the Black Hills to
make. While it has been we'll known
for some time what the Professors opin-
ion is concerning the tin prospects oi
this section, yet the question as to the
final result Of the much talked Of "tin
deal" will remain doubtful as far as the
public mind is concerned, until after the
first of March. ch.-Republican.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
There's not an item of news worth
sending; but if you have space and in
clination you may insert the following
growl at some things as they be, or seem
to be, in Custer county:
I'm not much of political economist
but, Mr.. Editor, there il something
sadly wrong with the collecting or dis
bursting Of taxes in Custer county, and
the correction Of the evil would save
the taxpayers many hundreds of dollars
annually. AS the business is now done
county and school township warrants
have market value Of from fifty to
eighty per cent. and no more, and our
township BIS f., in paying teachers, and
for fuel ETC., have to draw their orders
from to ! larger than would be nee
essary if these orders were worth their
face; and the taxpayer foots the bill for
the full amount
Now, am quite sure that Teachers
orders are worth their face in banks
back i'm the U. S.. and since taxes in
new country are necessarily burden
some. doesn't it look odd that nobody
kicks at this unnecessary big addition
to them? Surely, this condition Of
things Is not necessary evil for the
Boards of Education are required by
law to levy annually for an amount suttici
ent to pay the expenses of that year
and if the taxes are faithfully collected
and dsbursed, it seems that there is no
good rerson why orders on the various
school funds should not be paid as
promptly, and be as marketable paper
here as elsewhere.
Hold, though, there is this reason
why the burdensome discounts are
exacted. The money Of the county is
chiefly in the hands Of a few Shylocks
who will make no investment of it un-
less they can see sure three per cent
month in the exchange; and conse-
quently they will promiscuously offer
20 per cent for per cent interest bear
ing teachers orders, none Of which can
possibly have two years to run; thus
making themselves sure of the coveted
three per cent a month on the few that
may run over one year, and getting plus
fifty per cent per year on any paid
within year-as most of them are paid.
There are about half dozen of these
damned oppressors of the poor in our
end Of the county, and | would that
they were in Russia getting their deserts
with the Christ-haters of that corner of
the globe; or that they were even now
inhabitants of that hotter country to
which they are inevitably doomed.
am in such hurry to have this
ready to send by the mail that will
shortly leave that / can't take time to
make a show Of completeness in the
article. But maybe what I've already
said will rouse up somebody to keep the
ball movin'.

Singular.

Singular as it may appear to Rapid
contemporary, unprejudiced minds will
not be shocked at a statement Of the
strong probability Of the b. & M. Rail-
road company adopting the same route
into the Black Hills that was travelled
by the early pioneers Of '76. via Red
Canyon. The route loses much Of It's
singular features when the vast mineral
deposits which this road will tap by
adopting this route is fairly considered.
This singulary (p) chosen route, while
it may cause the accumulation OF
rust upon hinges Of the gate
over the hill, would seem to pos
sess attractions which our esteemed
contemporary has not fully considered
and which, when fully weighed, would
seem to be of sufficient importance to
warrant it's adoption by the company in
question.
First, this route will tap the Red
Canyon coal fields % miles southwest
of this city, where by recent develop
ment the fact of the existence of coal,
inexhaustible in quantity and ofsuperior
quality, has been fully established In
addition to it's vast bodies of coal, Red
Canyon is celebrated for its intermln-
able deposits of marble and building
stone of superior excellence, which at
once insures large carrying trade.
Leaving the Canyon, the route passes
through as fine an agricultural and
grazing country as can be found in any
portion Of the northwest, and which,
when iully settled, as it doubtless will
he by the time the railroad is completed,
will add to the aggregate Of the agri-
cultural products Of the Hills, an amount
which will be greatly in excess of the
entire product of Custer county for any
past year.
Entering the mineral belt at its south
ern limit, it will continue its course
practically through the center Of it via
Custer, the central city Of the great tin
belt, up Laughingwater to the celebrated
Tin Reef group, and on to a section
teeming with tin and gold to Tenderfoot,
and down Spring creek to Hill city
through the heart of the mineral bear
ing section of the Southern Hills,
through the finest tembered, and best
watered country in the west. Thence
up Newtons Fork and on to Deadwood.
What singular route this is to be sure !;
and vet, when we consider the fact Of it
being chosen by the early pioneers. and
by them pronounced the best and most
practicable route into the Hills from
the south, and the additional and para
mount advantage Of securing thereby
the incalculable business growing out of
mining operations of the Hills, we con-
fess to no surprise whatever that this
route, with all its seeming singular
features, should be adopted by the
company building the first: railroad
into the Black Hills.
Later we will call attention to the
former predictions of the CHRONICLE
touching upon railroad routes into the
Hills to be determined in the sweet
bye and bye.

More Copy.

The unusual severity Of the weather
in the Hills, and the severe billiards
outside, where drifting SHOWS have
blocked trains, and for days cut off COM
munication with the east, has resulted
in making the past week less prolific in
the matter of news than any week ex-
perienced in this place for a very long
period. The character of the weather
has been such as to encourage the miner
and farmer in the wise resolve to shun
the tempting allurements Of the town
by seeking the genial confines of his
cozy cabin, or elaborate mansion as the
case may be, and thus consign the
CHRONICLE purveyor Of news notes to
the realms Of crude conjecture in their
random rendition. The absence of our
regular exchanges has been sorely felt,
and to be thus ruthlessly doomed to fall
back upon our own limited resources,
and write against space, as We are doing
in this instance, is not calculated to
swell the average journalistic heart with
an inordinate degree of love for the art
preservative We regret exceedingly
our utter inability to record the verdict
in the Lamar senatorial confirmation
case, which may be a subject for En-
glish comment ere this for all we know.
1t is torture to contemplate the fact o!
the past few days being a sealed book to
us and our readers. The suspense is
wearing upon our already attenuated
nerves. We hold our breath while we
silently wonder what may have happen.

It Depends.

A Deadwood Times correspondent, G..
II. Sheldon, in a recent contribution to
that paper, referring to the power of
railroad companies, says:
Everybody realizes that railroad
can make the business center where it
will, and that, if they so order, a new
town will be built which shall usurp
the place of power. and leave all the
others to shiver beneath the shadow OF
obscurity."
Upon which the Times wisely com.
ments as follows:
"While such mag be occasionally true,
| it is py no means an invariable rule. In
agricultural districts it is possible to
compel the mountain to seek Mahomet.
A town with shipping facilities here or
| there can make no difference to the
community at large, where transporta
ton is owned by the individual, and the
country is uniformly located, but with a
Estimation such as IL presented In this
locality, entirely different from that just
cited with concentrated interests and
population, Mahomet must seek the
mountain The Elkhorn may not concede
the point; other companies may stand
aloof, but sooner or later company Of
keener perception and higher apprecia-
| ton Of opportunities will appear with
ample transportation facilities. Nature,
not weak humanity, shapes the destinies
Of communities. The combined rail
road strength of the world could not
have built a New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Duluth or any Of the seaport
towns, at inland points. Nature has
done too much for the city of Deadwood
whose untiring people have improved
their opportunities, to leave it possible
for railroad company enjoying no
monopoly, no peculiar or exclusive right,
to dictate to the extent suggested by Mr.
Sheldon, even if such company was SO
disposed; and by no line of reasoning
can we understand why the company
should prefer the establishment Of
metropolis in the valley, distant from
every mine, every industry, every de-
mand, to continuance Of the great
trade centre where founded and desired
by the people, at this advantageous
point"

The Model Route.

The Black Hills branch of the B. & NJ.
railroad will be the great scenic route of
the northwest. 1t will be the great
business route Of the Black Hills coun-
try.
1t will, by reason Of the surprising
attractiveness Of the scenery along its
line, be the great passenger route Of the
Hills.
Upon this route the future commercial
cities of the Black Hills will be located !;
among which will be numbered the
chief mining metropolis Of the United
States.
1t will be the great tin pan handle
route over which American tin will be
transported to eastern marts of Com
merce.
The building of a railroad over this
route will fill pressing present want,
and result in more real benefit to the
Black Hills than could be conferred by
any number of roads constructed over
the adjacent prairies beyond the limits
Of the Hills proper.
This will be essentially Black Hills
route, and do Away entirely with the
necessity, if such necessity ever exist
ed. Of building narrow gauge from the
F., E. & M. v. railroad to the remote
tin districts Of the Hills.
1t will be singular, indeed, if the adj
vent Of this railroad does not mark the
commencement of an era of progress in
this wonderful mineral region which
shall eventually eliminate in placing
the Black Hills In The front rank in
commercial Importance among the great
mineral producing sections Of the
world.
