A WRITER in the Deadwood
Pioneer has the following pointed
thoughts or tho capital question:
"Huron says, what do we care for
the future? We are now in the
center Of population and thereby
remind us Of the Irish member OF
parliament who was urged to think
Of posterity, but refused to vote for
the bill Saying, 'Wlmt has posterity
done for us?' Huron proposes TO
cripple posterity. II 'Thos. Jeffer-
son had refused to consider the fu.
ture, he would never have purchas-
ed from the First Napoleon the land
Of South Dakota. But he did, act
ing with consumate craftsmanship,
and thereby definitely outlined the
destiny Of the republic and its po-
litical mission. Again, will Huron
study history7 Huron says the flu
ture is hid, and only the present
should be considered. Experience
long ago taught the world that it is
only ignorance that judges the invis-
able by the visible"

What Judge Tate Saws,


President Tate of the Midland Pa
ciIic railroad company, in a recent
interview, said:
l AM thoroughly disguised with

Huron. Senator Pettigrew and my
self have expended $4,000 in the
past six years advertising Sioux
Falls and South Dakota. Now, the
idea of any town in the state at
tempting to tear down the good
name Of our state, by representing
that the country west Of the Jim
river-and, in fact, they might as
well say west of the Nermiilion-is
nc good, is the yeriest nonsense.
Why, the people Of Sioux Falls and
the whole state cannot afford to
have this done. 1t were far better
that 10th capital towns were sunk
into OBLIVION, than that they should
cause the good name Of our state to

Estimating Tonnage

Mr. Henry +. Wild, practical min
ing man of large experience, whose head
quarters are at Boise City Idaho is among
us examining the various mines in this
vicinity, more particularly the Phoebe
Con. Co.'S group.
He comes in the interest and at the re.
quest of the management Of the U. p.
R. r. to estimate the probable output of
ore with reference to daily shipments
when the road now in course Of construc-
ton to this place shall be completed
1t is the intention Of the U. P. Com.
pany to finish the Phoebe branch at any
rate but the amount of traffic immediate.
ly ahead will determine them whether
to push the work with some haste or
allow it to lie in its present state an in
definite length of time. Mr.. Wild's re-
port goes directly to head quarters, and
will have great weight with the direct.
orr The mines of the p. c. Co. all look
well and there is no reason to believe
that Mr.. Wilds report will be other than
favorable.

Our Streets

Cannot something be done to insure
the cleaning of our Main streets and
keeping them at least half decent in an.
pearance: 10 its present condition. Main
st. Is an eyesore and would disgrace even
an Indian camp. 1t is none too wide.
anyway and the location of the town
makes 1t necessary to dump cord wood in
front OF the various places Of business.
This feature must be endured for time
at least, though the bark and chips ought
not to be scattered on the street from
end to end. The fact that chips and
bark are there however encourages
Others. and old cans, cards, ashes, refuse.
slops. and general muck are thrown out
promiscuously, each man seemingly
under the belief that his peighbor will
sometime pay the expense of removing it.
The result is that Main st. to-day is
about the dirtiest part Of town. We
hear considerable about "booming the
town" but no boom will ever strike it
through the aid of outsiders if the ap.
pearance of the streets are relied upon to
indicate the general energy of the com.
munity.
The business men of Main ST. are par.
ticularly interested in this and IL a ma
jority Of them were to make up street
fund and insist upon general observ.
ance Of decency, the application of the
"nuisance"law TO one or two disgruntled
ones would very soon bring them to time
aud insure decent streets
But this would require concert of &C
ton, a western virtue to which the citi.
zens of Phoebe have been strangers for
many years past.

Wednesday evening, and at Virginia on
Thursday, on an offer previously made
by Mr. Cassidy. Each spoke an hour
and half, alternating each half hour.
Telegraphic information from Virginia
