ON TO THE BLACK HILLS.

The interview with Hon. +. Ill.
CLARKE, of the Black Hills, reported in
the GLOBE Saturday, gives the main
reasons why the Twin Cities, and
especially st. Paul, should be actively
interested in the opening up of direct
connection by rail with the Black Hills.
The subject has been presented by the
chamber of commerce and urged in
these columns with some persistence,
but IFS Importance is not likely to be
Overestimated. 1t should be kept at the
front until the missing link in the con-
nection is had. When the Sioux reserv-
alton was opened to settlement
it was the expectation that it
would fill up rapidly. and 10
doubt was had that more than one of
the great railroad systems that stop at
the Missouri river would at once cross
and push westward to the Hills. 1t is
believed that the right to bridge the big
river was sought at Pierre, Chamberlain
aud perhaps other points. But for vari-
Gus reasons the rush to the new lands
has not taken place. Comparatively few
claims have been entered on them. 1t
is found that the larger part of them are
better adapted to cattle ranges than to
tillage, and the limitation to quarter
section to be occupied by the settler and
payments eXacted have been III the way
of speedy occupancy. The railroads did
not materialiZe, and settlers in these
times do not care to go far from rail-
road lines. The railroads have not
come because there was no immediate
prospect of any paying local business.
The Twin Cities have large interest
in the occupancy of these lands. They
comprise an area several times greater
than that of the SisSeton reservation
lately opened, and are nearly as much
in the business radius of these cities.
Considerable portions of them are
as we'll adapted to general agri-
culture as the greater part OF the
state east of the muddy river,
and the rest will support vast
that Mr.. CLARKE put the cattle ship
ments from the Hills at SOD cars the
past year. These have been chiefly to
Omaha, where an immense industry has
been built up in the past few years.
Most of the growing life of the place of
late has been at South Omaha, the stock
yards suburb. With the building of
the direct line OF 151 miles from Pierre
to Rapid City, st. Paul could compete
successfully with Omaha. or any other
city. for the vast traffic of the Hills,
and be benefited largely by the filling
up of the new country this side OF the
Hills. The subject merits the active
favor of the business elements of this

The samples of Springtlme had in
this latitude so far are not presumed to
be the sort that TENNYsON had in mind
when he suggested that the youthful
fancy turned easily to love in spring.
Still, the Easter glorieS and the tradi-
tiOnS have done service. 1t is leap year
also. when there is, at least preSum-
ably, more mutuality of demonstration.
In connection with the quadrennial
relaxation of reserve by the sex. a
scheme is proposed to make the adVan-
tages of the year continuous. Thete is
probably no copyright of the project,
and it may be made to do general Serv-
Ice. The benignant purpose claimed
for it is to tide over the periods
when the heart hardly dareS to
throb in fear of disaster in
the final moment This has more espe-
cial reference to the young man who
thinks facing battery is trifiing mat
ter in comparison to proposing to the
uncertain maiden. In confding mo-
ments the young lover at times pictures
the ordeal in a vivid way One in New
York the other day. who met an un-
lOoked-for negation, says: Il suffered
eXcruciating agony and pain of mind
l was deeply in love with the girl. My
ideal became uninteliigible. 1 was
dazed, and became faint" How far
that may be common experience is
not explained by data at hand. Young
men who have been through the mill
= are apt to be conservative in their mar
rations. The relief scheme contem-
plates the formation of a club composed
of the matrimonially eligible of both
sexes. A novel feature of 1t is that it is
TO nave but one officer, who is selected
from those who would die rather than
give member away. As custodian
of the most delicate condolences, and
able to keep their secrets, it is pre-
sumed that male member will be
chosen. When the mind of any men,
Der turns cooingly to another the name
must be given to the president. When
there is mutuality- that is, two choose
each other-both are apprlsed of the
fact. and matrimony is the thing on the
docket. Those that turn to a wrong
person discover their mistake without
any notifying revelations. This may
be all right in theory, but it will be some
time before it supplants the old way.
The divorce courts indicate that the
need is not SO much of more marriages
as of fewer miSfits.

GIRL ORATORS,

The success of a girl in the interstate
Oratorical contest at Minneapolis the
past week has more than passing or
individual significance. 1t was the first
interstate oratorical contest at which the
highest hOnorS have been taken by
girl. The board of judges was composed
entirely of men, and the award was
based not more upon the strength of
thought and graces of diction than ora
torieal power. The triumph was over
the flower of the oratOry of nine states.
Girls have been reading essays full of
brightness and in graceful way on
academic occasions for Il long time, but
it is a recent thing for them to compete
with the young men as orators. This
has been about the last refuge of man
for undisputed sway i'll scholastic and
collegiate fields. and it is to remain his
exclusively no longer The girls will
have their dainty, ribbon-tied manu-
scripts and step forth as declaimers and
orators hereafter. The influence of the
achievement at the other twin will be
widespread.

THE HALF HOLIDAY.

The action taken by the wholesale
houses to allow their employees half
day for leisure and recreation each
week is every way cOmmendable 1t is
an evidence of interest on the part of
the men at the head of the great houses
i'll the comfort and we'll being of those
in their service. 1t has been intimated
at times that corporations have no
souls. This will not be said of the
firms that give their clerks and at
tacheS half holiday each week. But
1t will be no loss to them. The fresh
ness and enthusiasm it will add to the
working hours of their employees will
compensate III accomplishment for the
shortening of time. So far it is confined
to the wholesale houses In some cities
the retailers also give a half day.
This could not well be done on Satur-
day, but some other day does as well.
1t is more difficult to effect all extension
of this kind from the fact that there are
so many small dealers who have hardly
any employees. They are unwilling to
close. BUTT is evident that, if all closed

Is in the composition of a constitutional
convention to be held. This is TO con-
sist of III members; of these l6 are to
be Republicans and 16 Democrats, to be
chosen on general ticket. Then one is
TO be elected from eachof the I2S assem-
bly, districts, and the governor is to ap-
point the other IL. Five of these must
be representatives of the trades unions
and labor organizations of the state, 5
prohibltiOnists,a and woman suffragists.
1t is expected that the latter will be
women. as there is no restriction of sex
in the composition of the body. 1t may
have numerous women in it, if they are
elected. This will be another evidence
that the world moves toward the ell
Iargement of the opportunities of

emergency members of the MinneapG-
lis convention; others are to sit in a
constitutional convention in New York,
and the highest governing BODY of the
Methodist church must soon offer them
