The Board of Trade.

The board Of trade met for the first
time in their new rooms in the First
National bank building on Monday even
ing. Owing to the storm and darkness
the attendance was much smaller than
it otherwise would have been. As it
was, however, over twenty members
answered to their names at roll call.
Considerable business of importance was
done and several committees reported
their progress in certain matters. Gen
eral discussion on topics of leading in
terest to the town and people of Sturgis
was INDUCED in for an hour or SO, after
which the treasurer made his appear
ance and made all happy by the collec-
ton of dues, etc. After all present in
arrears had cleared their record by de-
post with the financial agent of the
board, the meeting adjourned until the
next regular meeting night, June IS.

onllnous for Republicans.


The difference in the appearance
Of the two great parties as they APP
proach their National Conventions,
observes and remarks the New FORK
Post, is ominous for the Republic
cans. The Democrats in one State
after another are falling into lineso
unanimously and solidly behind
Cleveland that there is now scarcely
a probability of there being any
other candidates name before the
Convention. The President is likely
to receive every vote on the first
ballot The Republicans, on the
other hand, arenot only divided into
sections and groups in favor Of half
d dozen or more candidates, but they
are deyoting themselves plainly to
the question Of whether or not their
leading candidate was honest when
he intimated that he did not wish
the nomination. The longer this
astonishing discussion goes on the
greater becomes the decentralization
Of the party. At present so many
party newspapers and leaders are
committed against Mr.. Blaine's
nomination as inviting inevitable
defeat, and so many Of Mr.. Blaine's
supporters are SO incensed against
them for expressing that opinion,
that the whole party is more in a
condition for a family fight than fol-
a convention. Then, too, the
strongest men in the party cannot
be nominated, because they are hate
full to the Blaine faction, and arr
certain to be knitted IN the Conyen
ton in case Blaine does not get th,
nomination. With unanimity ant
enthusiasm behind a strong candi
date in one party, and suspicion, de
moralization, and a probably dis
trusted and weak candidate in til,
other, the contest promises to be tn
most one-sided in recentyears. TIL
positions which the two parties oc
cupy on the great questions of tn
day add materially to this one-sided
ness also.

pebate closed NOW for Action.

Debate Closed Now for Action.
The debate on the tariff closed
saturday. It IS now hoped that the
season Of talk is over and that ac-
ton will characterize the delibera-
tions Of Congress. The people and
the business interests of the country
wish to see something tangibledone.
Speech making, gusll, irony, wit and
the waving ct the bloody Shin IS
not legislation, and if nothing else
Is done there will be no reduction Of
the tariff. The time for action has
arrived, and the whole country is
now waiting for Congress to act.
Act it should, and that promptly,
without further buster or delay.
Mr.. Randall made his speech in
the House Friday. As the phila-
delphia Times says, it was mainly a
relteration Of the position he has
maintained solong and 50 ably, that
the reduction Of revenue ought to
Be made first Of all by the entire
abolition Of internal taxes, and after
that BY such modification Of the tar
| if on imports as will leave unim-
paired the system Of protective du-
ties. Mr.. Randall has been serious
lly i'll for some time. and partly on
this account, no doubt, his speech
appears to have lacked something Of
| his usual yigor. He is further ham
pered by what is always drawback
to a parliamentary speaker, the fact
that he is at issue with the great
body Of his own party, and that he
ms repeating arguments which his as
sociates have heard before and have
not been willing to accept as suffi-
Icient. In other words, the repeal Of
the excise taxes, however Democratic
Tor however desirable, Is not now un-
Ider consideration in the House,
which has passed on to- definite
measure for the revision of the tar.
id, and in disposition Of affairs Mr.
Randall's speech has rather The
character Of an Intellectual protest
than 81 a positive contribution Il

Kinley and Mr.. Breckenridge had
thus an advantage over MIR. Ran,
dali. the former having no politica
obligation to do anything but OBJ
ruct and the other being free h
make an active assault upon th,
tariff. But it is not by speecl
making, after all, that tariff revision
is to be accomplished.

hone in Virginia. He run The late

he were the only man it. 1t was a
costly work to him. He caused a
revolt. which is destined to be very
formidable, and it includes the best
and brightest men Of the party. He
unseated over q hundred delegates to
maintain his supreme control and
his work in the Third Congressional
district was as outrageous as il was
bold. The anti-Mahoneite' had AZ
out Of the 66 delegates there, but
contests we're trumped up in a suffi-
cient number to override the 'kick-
eis." The fight will be transferre !
to Chicago and will be q bitter one.
John s. Wise and Senator Riddle
berger will be among the contest
ing district delegates. Malone has
corraled all his delegates for Sher-
man. while the kickers are mostly
for Blaine, and as the Blaine people
are likely to control the organiza-
ton, the kickers stand a very fair
chance Of bowling Malone out. Re-
pnblicanism in Virginia will not
amount TO much this year, from

discovered that she had been robbed
of nearly $500. Suspicion was at
once fastened upon one Austin AL
exander, also colored, as the perpe-

search of the city by the police, to
whom the matter had been reported,
failed to disclose Alexander's where
abouts, and kilograms containing de-

to hold if caught, were sent to

aexnder in custody, and wanted to

it was developed that the negroes,

Mayor Harkins fined each SD 25.
