"As for excluding the Black Hill,
country from one Of the seats in con.
gress, the State Journal believes not
only that it cannot be done-but that i,
would be gross and insulting injustice to
that rich and valuable section to ever
attempt it. When we shall come to

cents the actual value Of the eastern and
western sections of South Dakota either

found that intrinsically-in the worlds

The recent circulation Of so many
sensational reports by the western press.
devoid of even the semblance of truth,
would indicate that we had fairly Ell.
tered upon the era of fakes. We use
this term in accordance with a prevail
ing custom, without lexical authority
by reason ofits marked expressive force
and vivid significance, surprising as it
does all other authorized terms applica-
bic to the case in point. Not long since
a prevaricating penny-a-liner spun a
web Of fiction concerning the explosion
Of a geyser in the Yellowstone park, and
the consequent blowing up, and UNI
timely destruction of u number of Chi
nese laundry lei This purported
calamity was followed by a horrible ac-
count of the murder most foul and un
mitigated) Of a party Of French tourists
in the same locality a tale of fiction
fabricated By one of the most accom-
plished and expert prevaricators known
to the western press. Later IN, from
localities further west, comes the ches-
nutic account Of the discovery of gold
galore in the Sweet Grass Hills of Mon.
tana; and from the torrid realms of
Lower California a similar sensational
report is waited, both of which are now
known to have been based purely upon
inauguration, and concocted for the
sole purpose of creating a stampede to
the %forbidding localities named.
Fakes of this character are becoming
alarmingly common, and will, if con
tinued, result in seriously lowering the
standard of newspaper reliability. Sem
sational correspondence should be treat
ed by the managing editor, as refractory
ore is treated by the metallurgist, sub
mltted to a reducing process as it were,
and the precious PARTICLES of truth pre-
cipitated, if perchance there are n
therein contained. 1t is time to cry a
halt upon the publication of startling
lies under the gnise of truthful and re-
liable information. May we expect a
reform in this direction, or will the
practice prevail until the press as a
medium for the dissemination of fakes
OF the most extravagant and outrageous
character becomes a by word and a re
proach in the land? Echo only answers
by a repetition of the perplexing aues-
ton.

that now is the appointed time to step

Poor I,o.

In connection with the opening Of a
part of the Sioux reserve on the west Of
the river "a few figures may not be out
of place as showing the financial condi-
ton of the race who have so long inha-
bited it and who are now parting with
it at a most fictitious price. The land
which it is proposed to open to settle
ment is less than one half of the Sioux
reserve. The government pays for it in
round numbers Sll 100000. This is to
be divided up among $4,000 Indians-a
large proportion of whom are not In
dams either, but Frenchmen and half
breeds. and who have no more right to
the land or the proceeds OF it than the
Chinesc-which would give them 5000
per capita, or $1,000 to each family of
six. They still have left II 100000 acres
of land, or 5000 acres to each family as
above represented. Now, if we estimate
the value Of the land at the same rate as
the the government price ofschool land,
or $40 per acre, it would bring the nice
little sum of $4,000 to each family
added to the 5000 which is paid for
the land now to be opened, makes $33,
900. Then, if You will take into consid-
Grafton the fact that this people are
provided by the general government
with houses, clothing, provisions, schools
and churches better than the average
white man, and absolutely without cost,
you will be able to form some idea of
the condition Of the prosecuted red men.
We might also call your attention to
the further fact that this people are also
provided with horses, cattle, guns, am
munition and such other articles as
would in any degree contribute to their
enjoyment, but it is probably unneces-
sary. 1t is a hard lot to be a red man.

Alien Capital,

The senate committee on Mines and
Mining have reported on the resolutions
authorizing the committee to investigate
the subject Of the investment Of foreign
capital in mines in the territories, to the
effect that the amount of capital so in.
vested by aliens is $20,503, $50, and the
dividends paid thereon $4,737, 800. IT
may be fairly inferred, says the report,
that the mines in which this alien
capital is invested have produced not
less than S50,000,OOO, Of which the
greater portion has been expended in
this country for labor, machinery, etc.
During the past thirty years aliens have
purchased mining claims and in some
instances they have turned ont valuable
In that time, no injurious results have
been produced thereby, but, on the con
trary, the capital brought into the ter
ritories by aliens and by citizens of the
United States alike has facilitated the
development Of the country, aided in
supporting population, enabled farmers
to find a market and all other industries
to prosper New York Mining Record

A Rare Chance.

$500 to the farmer owning the acre o.
ground producing the largest yield OF
wheat, oats, corn or potatoes. COMPETE
ton free to all cultivators Of the soil in
the United States. Now here Is q
chance for some Custer county farmer
to rake in a handsome prize on wheat
and oats. The soil in this immediate
locality is known to be admirably adapt
ed to the successful growth of these
staple cereals. Even with the limited
attention given to the culture of grain
in this section in the past, the yield has
been surprisingly great; equalling, il
not exceeding that of any other known
locality. With proper effort on the part
of the producer, there would seem to
be reasonable grounds upon which to
base a hope of Custer county capturing
n or more of these prizes. Will any
of the farmers in this vicinity make an
effort to secure a possible prize of con
siderable value TO them, and Of far
greater value to the county as an adver-
tisement of the wonderful productive

dollars worth of real estate changed
hands in that place last week, and that
things had been running about that way
for a month. When it is considered
that the total assessment OF the entire
county in which that place is located is
less than a million and a half, and that
in order to have reached the aggregate
claimed for the month, all of the realty
in the county would have to be sold

The levanting of A. L. Teele made a
good deal of talk on the streets syester-
day. Mrs. Teele came up to the city to
inquire into the matter. She would not
believe word about Teele's having any
relations with any other woman and
thinks he will come back. Mrs. Teele is
a most estimable lady and has the SYM
pathy of all who know her. Her truant
husband was very bright man, of fine
business talent, fluent Of tongue, of en-
gaging address, generous, liberal and
possessing host of fine traits of charac-
ter. In these days of trouble, his
friends find the only excuse for
him is the fact that he
was led astray by natural but lsmenta-
BILE weakness for women. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that he has been on
excellent terms with young lady of
Spanish blood, OF one Of the Oldest and
most respected Spanish families of this
city The fair Lulu has not gone away
with Teele perhaps, but he is reputed to
have bought railroad tickets for two
persons, and Lula was reported absent
from the city yesterday. Teele's de-
falcations are not very large. 1t is said
$4,000 will be outside of all. Most of
this is the funds of the Nadeau orange
tract, and about 500 is from the rent
rolls of Earl B. Millar, who is now on
