Black Hills Sand Stone.

The Pierre Free Press has Just
seen specimens of the wonderful
sandstone with which the Black
Hills abounds. Representative God
ard of Fall River county, unloaded
a carload or so of elegant samples,
no two alike, in the office OF the
editor the other day, and the dis
play dazzled the eyes of the Faber.
When he recovered his sight he
went into ccstacies over the beauty
of the stones, and after paying the
Hills a glorious tribute concluded
his article by saying: "There is no
use talking, the more one learns
of this remarkable portion of South
Dakota the more of a marvel it
becomes"
MIR. GODDARD and others are at
present engaged in a correspon-
dence with eastern parties concern
ing the construction of a Black
Hills building at the Worlds Fair.
If proper arrangements can he
li!dSC d ldISC plCCk vi every HOWL
stone in the Black Hills, properly
inscribed, will be obtained and
given a place in the structure.
The idea is a good one and mas
much as the state Legislature has
not made an appropriation for the
erection of a state building, why
would it not be a great advertising
scheme for the Black Hills to
furnish the building entirely from
its own stone. The Hills can put
up a building which cannot be
duplicated in the civilized world.
The most wonderful stone, of
every known color, is in existence
here, and by erecting such a
structure as mentioned we would
advertise our wealth in a way
entirely novel, exceedingly promi-
nent and never-to-be-forgotten.
Let this idea be thought upon,
by those of the Hills who are
interested in making a good
display at Chicago in 1893.

Ex-senator Warner Miller, with a
company Of gentlemen, among whom
was the special representative of The
Press, sailed from New York for
Nicaragua yesterday. The best wishes
OF all Intelligent and patriotic Ameri-
cans will go with Mr.. Miller on his
voyage. He goes to inspect and inspire
one Of the grandest engineering enter
prise On record. The dismal failure Of De
Lesseps' scheme has left the field clear
for the Nicaragua Canal. The marri-
age Of the Atlantic with the Pacific
will result in incalculable benefit to
commerce and civilization. The enter.
prise is American all the way through
American dollars are back Of it
American brains are directing it.
American engineers are conducting it
The American nation is committed to
its completion. The Press believes
that it will prove q triumphant success
and IL wishes ex-senator Miller and his
companions a pleasant and profitable
voyage and a safe return'-New York

There can be no doubt that the re-
cent great change in the land laws
will he vastly beneficial to South Da-
kota in SO far at least as the change
affects settlement upon the reservation.
Under the law opening the reservation
lands to homestead settlers it was ex-
pressly provided that to acquire a title
to a quarter section the settler must
reside upon it for a period of five years.
There could be no communication. Un-
der the lately enacted law however,
settlers will be allowed to commute
and prove up OH their land at the end
Of a residence of fourteen months
Chamberlain papers state that the GOOD
effect Of the change is already apparent
in increase of immigration and in.
quiry for reservation lands.-Rapio

J.J. O'Kelly, John O'Connor, w. H.
X. Redmond and Henry Harrison, the
delegates sent to this country by Par
nell for the purpose Of raising funds
for the national movement, arrived in
New York Sunday morning. 1t is the
consensus of opinion among American
men and newspapers that as long as
there is a division and quarrel among
our Irish friends, it is not good policy,
nor will it converge to a good end to
contribute to either sides, until united
action can be had.

BY the bill which passed the last con-
gress, South Dakota becomes entitledt to
a large amount of indemnity lands
much larger indeed than the 10000
acres that it was feared would he lost
by the state under the ruling of the
commissioner Of the general land Of
flee. The state is now privileged to
select these lands in any district 1T can
to the best advantage. In addition to
this the bill makes other provisions
which are almost of as much import
ance. 1t provides that where citizens
have taken claims included in the
statement before surveys that the state
may select others in lieu. Also where
the lands are mineral, Indian, military
or other reservation, or otherwise dis
posed Of. and where they are reserved
Notwithstanding the above exceptions.
That is, in short, that the state may
select its school and public lands Of
all kinds and sorts at once and in any
part Of the state where there are un.
appropriated lands. Or if the state
chooses it may wait and take lands in
any of the reservations that may bt
thrown open in the future.

The Italian government has taken
up the cause Of the Sicilians lately
lynched in New O,lcans, and has made
a demand for governmental protection
of all Italians in New Orleans. Secre-

when the excitment becomes allayed

The launching of the first steel
teamship ever built on Lake Michigan

The launching Of the first steel
steamship ever built on Lake Michigan
occurred last Saturday at the yards
Of the Chicago Ship Building company.
The ship is called the Mariana" and
is built for the Minnesota Steamship
company. The length OF the Mariana
oyer all is 500 feet; beam, 40 feet;
depth, "a feet and 6 inches; total
tonnage, 1900 tons. She is the largest
that has been built on their shores.
She has been built within a year Of
the organization Of the ship building
company. An lmmenes shipping is
growing up on the lake and the ten
dcncy is rapidly towards larger ships
and towards steel steamships. Last
year the number Of arrivals and
c~learances at Chicago exceeded that Of
any other p ort in the United States,

Tasc~tt, the murderer of millionaire
Sacll, Of Chicago. has hecn arrested
again, this time in South Dakota. A
barber. named Ice Barnes, has been ar
rested, as the long-sought-for homicide.
Clark, who gave much valuable infor-
nation to the grand jury which in
dicted T'ascott, has been sent for to
identify the man. There is SAID to be
a strong resemblance between Barnes
and Tascott. but the probabilities are
that this will prove another case Of
mistaken identity.

Senator Hale. of Maine, in speaking
Of the next Presidential campaign
says: "The main fight will be on the
tariff, there is no question about that.
The agitation against protection will
be kept up, and the country will he
called upon again to sustain it. Silver
free coinage will be the second great
issue, possibly nearly as prominent as
the tariff, but not SO great in impor-
lance. The action Of Congress on
silver in the late session has forced it
forward as a political issue. The
people in the West and South will not
allow the silver question to be dropped
at this stage. They are in favor Of
free coinage and are greatly aroused
over il. 1t cannot be kept out Of the
Presidential %compaign."
