The Mating Market

Adviees indicate a considerable advance
in prices of Chinese Mating. There are
several reasons for this. one being the
failure of an extensive manufactures at
Canton. and his consequent inability to
fill anu,nber of large orders that had bean
placed with him. Another is the delay
and loss caused by the great floods in
China, and still another is the large in
crease of late in the consumption of Chi
nese Mating in this country. This in
crease is estimated at from SO to 100 per
cent. Notwithstanding this condition of
affairs in China we are enabled to dupli-
cate last seasons prices and go them one
better, which may be part explanation
why we are doing so much to supply that
so per cent. increase in the trade of this
country.

Due to It's own Negligence.

The old suit Of the First National Bank
against Charles H. Walcott on a check was de-
cided by Judge Taylor yesterday, who held that
the bank could not collect on it. The issue arose
from the failure of Ritzingers bank. The
check. being on that bank, was paid at the First
National a few minutes after III o'clock A. N. on
the Saturday preceding the Monday on which
the Ritzingers made an assignment. The evil
dence showed that there is banking rule to the
effect that all checks certain bank received
By another bank before IL o'clock noon sent
to the clearinghouse that day The cashier
who took the check of Mr. Walcott placed it by
accident in the wrong box, and it did not go to
the clearing house until Monday. By that time
Ritzingers' bank was closed. aud the First Ma
tional. of course, could not realize on the cheek
through that source. Other checks presented
on Saturday Ritzngers bank went through
the clearing house all right aud were paid by
Ritzineers. Judge Taylor held that the first
National could not recover because it was
through its own negligence the check was not
presented to the clearing house on the same day
il was received This decision, it is supposed,
will affect quite q number of similar suits
brought about by the same failure.

Does not Want Additional Damages.

Those who have been anxious to the
Union Depot viaduct built as soon as possible
were pleased yesterday when Frank NJ. Dell,
one of the property owners interested, appeared
in the Superior Court and dismissed his suit on
appeal for additional damages. The city commits
sioners. who spent several weeks IN assessing the
damages, placed Mr.. Dell's at $4,000. He
not satisfied, aud, with four other holders of
properly abutting the line of the vIaduct,
appealed to the Superior Court In dismissing
the case, attorney Claypool stated in behalf of
Mr.. Dell that he believed rho DANA ges allowed
were sufficient, and that greater sum could
not be obtained by going into trial. The other
appellants have not yet signified their intention
TO dismiss their suits. but it is believed they will
follow the example set by Mr.. Dell. If they do
the building OF the viaduct at once is assured,
as the Union Railway Company officials have
repeatedly stated that they ready and
anxious to go ahead with the work just
as they were relieved of the liability of addi-
tional damages. The city officials believe that
even if the other claimants DO not Withdraw
their claim, the railroad company will go ahead
with the work, as the Acknowledgement of Mr..
Dell that the amount assessed is large enough
will tend to weaken the other cases.

Francis Hollis, a ranchman living on
Elk creek near Bend postofiice, was taken
to Deadwood the latter part of last week
on the charge Of insanity. OF the matter
the Pioneer says:
Hollis, who fought for the union cause
during the late war, is about fifty years
of age, is married, has four children, and
by industry and thrift has managed to
keep his head above water CT late luck
has been against him. In neighbor-
hood where all raised large crops, his for
some unaccountable reason was poor.
However, he maintained a stout heart,
and appeared cheerful and contented nm
til about ten days ago, when his mind
gave the first sign of failing. Since
then the decay of reason has been sud
den, until at present it hasgone altogcth-
er. His wife and children are in needy
circumstances, and deprived of their only
support, are objects Of sympathy from
every member Of the community.

PRESIDING OFFICER.

The Rapid City Journal noninates
F. J. Washabaugh for president OF the
territorial council In view Of the fact
the endorsements from the pen OF a
strong democrat, it shows that Mr..
Washabaugh is also very popular with
the democratic party in the Hills The
Journal says:
In the Black Hills country no man
has been more honored by the people
than Mr.. Washabaugh, of Deadwood.
And with entire truth it may be said
that Mr.. Washabaugh has at all times
shown himself worthy of the confidence
reposed in him and the esteem in which
he is held. He has been elected to the
territorial council from this district a
number of times, and on each succeeding
occasion with an increased majority.
He has established a reputation as a fair,
broad minded gentleman, and an intelli-
gent legislator-one who has ever
represented the district with honor and
dignity. His experience will render him
a strong and influential member of the
council at the session cf this winter. This
experience, his knowledge Of parIamen-
tary rules and usages and Efiis undues-
toned fairnes mark him as a gentleman
eminently qualified to act as the coun--
ellis presiding officer His qualifications
are such as to have received hattering
acknowledgment in the last Legislative
session. The Black Hills district should
ask with an united voice for his prefer
ment at the coming session. Without
regard to locality the people Of this dis
trict would be pleased to see Mr.. Washa-
baugh elected to the presidency of the
council.

TWIN DAKoTAs.

A Bismarck dispatch states thatalready
prominent republicans Of North Dakota
are arranging meeting, to be held with
in month, to decideupo action regard
ing statehood. South Dakota has al
ready adopted a constitution, and elected
state officers, including United States
senators and congressman. On this con
stitution bill for her admission to the
union has passed the senate. In this re-
spect North Dakota is behind, and her
politicians see the delay that will be
caused unless they take advantage Of
the precedent established in the case of
South Dakota and call an early consti-
tutional convention. 1t is believed that
the convention for framing of constitu-
ton will be held in Bismarck either dur
ing the winter or carly next summer,
most likely in the summer, as the legis-
lature will be in session during the win
ter. The probable character OF the CON
stitution is already being discussed with
great interest throughout the territory.
Among the questions attracting the most
attention is that of prohibition, and it is
becoming, says the dispatch we quote,
more and more apparent daily that this
question must be submitted with the
constitution. The liquor men and those
who believe in high license are encour-
aged in the result of the late elections
throughout the territory. In nearly ev-
cry county where local option has heen
tried during the past two years it has
been defeated at the recent elections.
The opposition in North Dakota to
division, developed at the election two
years ago, will now disappear. Tt was
always more seeming than real. Demo
Gratis, Of course, opposed it, and so did a
few sehemipg politicians among the re-
publicans, but the great majority Of re-
publicans, both north and south, have al
wayBfayored two states. The only real
opposition now viii come from the conn
ties along the seventh parallel, which
prefer to be the center Of a great state
rather than the border Of q smaller one.
II the president calls an extra session
after the 4th Of March, the two Dalxotas
will be represented in the senate and
house at the first regular session OF the
Eifty=frst Onlaha Republican.

The almost universal defeat Of local
option in Dakota is another Lesson to
rampant prohibitioniets and anti-license
fanatics. What it teaches is not that
prohibition or local option is not good,
but that even good must prevail by the
sentiment OF the people. Local option
is ideal temperance legislation; but when
you can't get strong enough sentiment
to back upthis ideal law, what good is it?
In Dakota it has had the effect Of letting
the saloons run at full blast and coin
money, while the Jealous citizen had to
stand by helpless, and more than that,
put his hand deeper into his pocket to
pay taxes, that he had relieved the saloon
keeper from paying. This year there is
a reaction against this dead letter law,
the repeal OF local option in most of the
counties leading off with Cass, Grant,
Minnehaha, SPHINX, Beadle, Brown and
Davidson.

A private telegram received from Da-

their respects to the president elect in a
royal way. They are to have special dec
GRATED trains, and intend to give their

GRATED. Dakota is to come in at once as
two states. 1t is probable that an effort
will be made at the session of this con

question, but the republicans here say
no compromise giving the least possible

1t is a'mistake to presume that demo-

the inauguration of President Harrison.
There is no reason to expect it, and the
ADVERTISER believes they willard
continue in office until their re-
spective terms expire, unless there is
good and sufficient cause for removal.
Occasionally they will be bounced for
failing to perform their duties. but so
long as the work is done well they will
no doubt have the pleasure of drawing
their salaries to the full length of their
terms. It will be right.
