The work is in four volumes, twenty
full page steel engravings of noted gen
erals, and about 300 relief etcbings, each
etching is accompanied with a text of

Rapid City, has the sole agency for an
Artists Story. He will be in Custer in

TeleoTaphic News Service.

The efficiency OF the organization OF the
Associated Press and the enterprise and
fidelity of its agents were never better ex-
hibited than in the collection and distri-
button of the news of the New Orleans
lynching.
1t has given TO its papers daily enough
matter TO fill book Of the average size,
and no phase Of that exciting occurrence
or Of subsequent events has been omitted.
The subject, in all Of its parts, has been
treated artistically and, what is more i'm
portant, with thoroughness and Impair
TALLY. The Associated Press not only had
reporters to give graphic descriptions of
the scenes in the Crescent City, but
everywhere in the United States, and at
all the European capitals its correspond
ents were put upon the lookout for ex-
pressions from those whose words would
command attention. Thus we were able
to group about the New Orleans picture
reflections caught up and sent forth from
every land.
The DISPATCH received about fifteen
thousand words from New Orleans Satur-
day and very nearly as much Monday. Al
of this was delivered into our own Office,
upon our own wire, was taken uerb0iim
from the instrument upon a typewritiug.
machine, carefully edited and HEADED,
and then placed in the hands of twenty
five alert compositors, whose work of type
setting in due season passed. into the stereo-
typing-room, and thence to our Hoe per-
fecting press, where the sheets were drawn
from a roll like thread from spool, and
printed and folded.
Nothing less than a great organization
like the Associated Press, nothing less
than an Office equipped as ours is could
have been equal to the emergency of the
last three or four days. AS it was. our ac-
counts were equalled by very few papers
in this country, and in essentials were sur
passed by none.
A city of $4,000 or $4,000 people should
not be expected to maintain newspapers
as great as those of New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore or Washington, but it is
our ambition to do well what we under
take, and he who reads the DISPATCH care
fully will rarely miss any item of value.
In the enjoyment of the greatest patron
age and the most cordial support we have
ever known, we feel encouraged to greater
efforts than we have ever before made.

The provocation.

Stili tho New Orleans troubles are upon
every tongue. Still those persons VINO
understand that the people OF that CITY d'd

come more and more sympathetic IN the'r
treatment Of the events Of Saturday last
"Out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh." So We are not SURPRISED
20 find our exchanges still endeavoring 10
en.ighten their readers on this absorbing
topic. Amongst the articles which we
have seen justifying the acts OF the new
Orleans people there is not one whioh mas
given a more truthful picture than Is
given In the following little paragraphs
from the Washington Post. That paper
says:

where is the man with soul so dead
as not to appreciate the condition of things
thus depicted? The horrible, indescriba-
bile suspense was not to be endured. The
strain was intolerable, unbearable. No
community could stand it long. Let us
follow CHARLES READE's advice and put
ourselves in the place of our New Orleans
brethren, and we shall be more ready to
extend to them our full justification of
their conduct, accompanied by our regrets
that they had no other path in which to
walk. They had no choice. They did
what they could not help doing.

The Debts

Despite the recent assurances of Mr..
GARDEN it does not seem that the bond
holders are very nearly ready to come to
Richmond with proposition to settle the
debt.
There is hitch somewhere. II Is said
here the trouble is that the Council of
Foreign Bondholders insists in guiding or
assisting in the management of the settle
ment. II would do well to leave the mat
ter in other hands. The Virginia people
have never been much impressed with the
wisdom of the Council.
New conferrees will serve the bondhold-
ers better and be more acceptable here.
