Some five weeks ago it was practically
decided by the board of directors of the
Dakota School of Mines to profer the
Deanship to Samuel Cushman. of this city,
and the directors were also given to under
stand that he would accept, but owing to
the fact that two members of the bosrd are
residents of the eastern portion of the
state ard while n of them has been In the
east, the other II was strolling around
over the state. correspondence was exas-
peratingly slow and the formal appoint
ment was not made until yesterday, The
matter was thoroughly digested before the
appointment was made, and Mr.. Cushman
not only received the vote of the entire
board of directors, but the endorsement
and promised support of the prominent
citizens of Rapid City and Deadwood.
The new Dean is a graduate of Brown
University of Cambridge, Massachusetts,
and took the regular course in OWL engi-
neering. He has has also lad practical
experience in civil and mining engineering
and e1cels in mathematics, but what is of
more Importance to the School of Mines,
he is a natural organizer, and has that force
of character 40 essential to a successful head
of any institution. He is devoted to edu-
cation, an if he receives that cordial sup
port from the people of the Black Hills to
which he and the school are entitled, he
will make a success and build up a school
that will be a credit to not only this Sec
ton, but to tae whole state. Mr.. Cushman

were true, it is not a point against the
new party. There are no doubt good
men holding Office in the old parties to-
day and good men who have been prom
inent in party councils who fully realize
the deplorable state OF affairs atpresent
existing. The new departure has their
full sympathy, they believe the men who
are in it are honest, and yet from past
associations or present positions they
hesitate to identify themselves with it.
They will wait to see whether the people
are really in earnest. A brave position,

pronounced that two men are considered
a quorum for transaction Of political
business, with a view OF electing them
selves delegates to a county convention,
is it not almost time for a third party
to take the field and regulate matters?
Thus it seems to intelligent voters. But
considering the decentralization which the
alliance has sown broadcast in the rank
and file OF the political parties, there
is nothing surprising in the fact thattwo
men should assume to play caucus and
nominate and elect themselves delegates

GARFIELD AND PR0TECrIoN

An old republican, a Morrison elector
from Minnesota sends Us the following ut
terance of President Garfield, made a few
months before his election. The old re-
publican says: "That is good enough tariff
doctrine for me, but somehow it does not
harmonic with the modern republican
tariff doctrine worth a cent" II hold
therefor that a properly adjusted competi-
ton between home and foreign products is
the best gauge by which 10 regulate inter-
national trade. Duties should be SO high
that our manufacturers can fairly compete
with the foreign produot, but not SO high
as to enable them to drive out the foreign
article, and enjoy a monopoly trade and
regulate the price as they please. To this
extent I am a protectionist. If our gov
eminent pursues this line of policy steadily
we shall, year by year, approach more
nearly to the basis Of free trade, because
we shall be more nearly able to compete
with other nations on equal terms. I an

PROHIBITION.

The great disadvantage under which
the prohibition cause has labored has
been a want Of financial support. The
prohibition laborers are largely people
who have not been direct sufferers from
the liquor traffic, people who would de-
rive no direct financial benefit from the
success OF the movement. On the other
hand, arrayed against them, is a body OF
men who have dollars and cents at stake.
The principle OF prohibition strikes them
in the most tender spot-the pocket
and, as a consequence, they have time
and money for the fight. This condition
cannot be changed until the CRUSADE has
passed a certain point; in fact, in the
second stage OF the fght-the act which
is now before the people OF South Da-
kota, this condition OF things becomes
wen stronger than in the early stages.
The license fees are apparently lost to
the state. Prosecutions are III progress
and taxes must necessarily be increased.
This is taken advantage OF by the OPP
position and many weakened prohl-
hibitionists desert the cause. Again,
many who worked strongly for the cause,
after its adoption by the state, consid-
cred the fight over. Now is the time
when the friends Of temperance must
stand firm. Prohibition will prohibit if
the people want it to; officers will do
their duty if they are elected to do it.
Some officers are chosen for the purpose
OF evading their duty. The people must
keep this in view. After a certain point
has been reached in the enforcement OF
prohibition, the law will enforce itself.
The expense now being incurred, it must
be remembered, is caused by the traffic,
by a class OF people who defy the law.
Instead OF weakening the prohibition
cause this should strengthen it, bringing
out, as it does, the insolence toward and
utter disregard OF the friends OF the
traffic, for the will of the people. If
seventy-five per cent only OF the trafficis
prohibited, we believe time will prove
that it will cause a saving to the COM
monwealth in taxes, and business men
and corporations. after feeling its bene-
fits, will become the staunch supporters
Of the law and thus in the latter stages
Of the fight it will be money against
money. In many sections OF the country
railroads have already removed the
question from the realm OF sentiment.
Orders have been issued forbidding the
employment of men who use liquor in
any form. Surely such corporations
will favor laws removing all temptations
from their men. In the Black Hills to-
day the most effectual work being done
for the enforcement of the law comes
from the paid detectives OF the Burling-
ton and Missouri railroad, and it is
done as q matter Of business-as a saw
ing OF dollars and cents to the company.
