fourth century of Americas discovery
We are nearing one of the great mile
stones Of history. An epoch in Ameri

pass the day which rounds up the full
measure Of the 400 years that are gone
But II Is not proposed that we stand even
for day on that great dividing line to
speculate upon American achievement
aud progress. We shall pause for but a
moment and contemplate with wonder
and admiration the grandest production
and the most enduring monument Of the

1t Stimulates the Children's Interest and

The organized ''school house flag
movement" has been in progress during
the greater part of four years. In tina,
short time the seed sown in one earnest
suggestion has borne fruit in school after
school, in town after town, in state after
state.
Though there are still many schools
which are not as yet provided with the

stars and stripes floating above its roof.
Sufficient sine has passed since the
movement began to make it possible to
judge the results Of the unflrling of the
flag above so many schools.

p, 1892. at one O'Clock p. m. for the
purpose OF electing sixteen delegates and
sixteen alternates to the National con-
ventlon at Omaha on July 4th, 1892;

A TERRIBLE REVENGE:

The negro, Ed. Coy, who so brutally
assaulted Mrs. Jewell; white woman,
about a week ago, was captured and re-
turned to Texarkana, Ark. Hewas fully
identified by his victim, and in the pres
ence OF fully five thousand people was
burned at the stake.-The Progressive
Age.
In pa;nt OF brutality the perpetrators
OF this burning were worse than the
negro. That black man committed a
helnous CRIME, but he was not punished
by burning him to death. Society was
not protected by the burning, for it was
by the coarse vengeance visited
upon the criminal. Coarseness and
brutality in public breed coarseness and
brutality in private. That bia-k man
should have had fair trial, and if
guilty, should have been confined at
proper labor for such time as it was nee
essary to fit hun for liberty Vengeance
should have no place where society un-
dertakes to deal with one OF its individ-
uals. That negro was physically and
sick at birth; his environment
accentuated his weakness, and he yielded
to the currents OF his life and assaulted
a defenseless woman. Who gave that
negro his blood? Who gave him his
environment? We call upon the white
race, which for two hundred and fifty
years bred him and his ancestors less
carefully than they bred their mules, to
answer. We: the people OF this country,
who have lived and who now live, are
participants in that negroes crime, and
we yulgarly appear as tyrannous brutes
when we burn to death one who has
sprung from our own Ions, and one who
has been subjected to the tetnptations
which our conditions OF socetS.-force UP
on him. Talk about justice! Stllislsss lss6s $
in human affairs has scarcely felt the
pulsing dream that precedes the awaken
ing moment of conscious life. We are
barbarians while, with the hemp, the
burning electric current, the bullet and
the fagot, we offer up the products OF our
own civilization.-K. OF l.. Journal

THE FUTURE.

The future OF the Black Hills is as
sured. In the past its settlement and
prosperity has been retarded by false or
highly colored reports, by the effort OF
real-estate boomers who would build up
one section at the expense OF Others. by
fraudulent companies organized to cap
ture eastern capital, and natures short
comings OF the last three years. Inspite
of all, Il steady growth has been made
and today point has been reached
where snide schemes and frantic efforts
to capture the supposed center cannot
check nor make the rapid increase in
population and wealth that 1892 will
inaugurate.
The future OF the Black Hills is as
sured, not by her tin, her gold and silver,
her lead OF coal, her building stone,
TIMBER, lime and gypsum, but in this
great combination OF precious metals
and bulld1ng,material lying IN the Hills,
IN connection with her farming lands to
the east and her live stock interests.
ture for Rapid City. If there eyer was
d time when secret schemlng and ques.
tiOnable methods were needed to secure
her future, that time has passed. With
a splendid natural location and situated
midway between the northern and
southern Hills, with the best water pow
er the Hills afford; with her wide, well
graded streets and fine brick blocks anG
| residences, schools and churches
electric light and gas plants
her foundry; Wholesale mills
and chlornation works, surely
| the foundation Is substantially laid fol
ii large and prosperous city, The only
danger now apparent to the raplc
growth promised is a slack management
OF municipal affairs or culpable careless
ness in the disbursement OF the funds "a
her disposal, generously voted by th'
people, for the further advancement O
the city.
| There is a board of trade and citizen
meeting called tonight to consider tn
| question of the disbursement of the bonds
The city council will also consider tn
question. The people should show an in
terest in these matters. The small ia
payer is interested to greater extent tina

changed for mere promises,

of giving entertainments for raising
money. have carried out my scheme
with gratifying success at Rapid City.
The many courtesies extended me aid
materially in the work and show the en-
thusiasm Of the western part OF the
state for an exhibit. The entertain
ments as I have conducted them, are
literary in the main, which is the most
feasible plan.
Then, too, we have undertaken the
task Of raising money for the education
al exhibit. We have taken collections
in the schools with good results, and ex-
pect to raise money necessary for the
exhibit that way. We will need about
Sc, 1000 part of which has been raised;
but as haye not yet received the re-
ports, l cannot say how much. If the
rest OF South Dakota stands by us as
the Black Hills country, l can assure
you that the money will come.
Whether the state has an exhibit or
not. | can safely say that the Black
Hills will be represented at the exposi-
tlon. This is one OF the certainties.
The site which has been assigned to
South Dakota must be claimed and the
building must be in process OF erection
by June LIST, SO you see the necessity of
quick action. How much do we expect
to put into the state building? Well, it
is my private opinion that we will do
well if we build $4,000
building, though in this do not speak
for the rest of the commission"
Mrs. Wilson endorsed the remarks of
Mrs. Haynie, especially in reference to
the ladies department. She said: ~
shall give my vote to the best plan adj
vanced for raising the money
for the ladies' exhibit. l think,
however, that the men ought to
furnish the money and let us help spend
it. Many things, however, cannot be
decided until VIC know more about the
ways and means for the general state
exhibit. At all events, it is South Da-
kota first, and to this l subordinate all
other matters"

UNION article oflast evening, he did not
see, with Mr.. Hughes, as the price OBJ
tanned for bonds cut any great figure If
the road could be assured. He was at
O loss to see how the committee could
secure the proper expenditure OF the
funds except it be in satisfying them
selves as to the financial standing Of Mr..
Coad's associates. In answer to the
question. "Has the original committee
or trustees signed an agreement with
the council regarding the disposition
OF these bonds" he stated that he
thought not, that the whole matter
was somewhat mixed. The original
contract for putting in water mains was
let to Mr.. Culbertson, but that the coun-
Gil seemed to have s.nce taken the mat
ter IN their own hands and had sold
the $4,000 bonds for that purpose.
The Doctor was strongly in favor OF the
city's doing their own work on this job
and not letting to contractors, as the
work would then be kept at home, with
a saving OF at least $4,000 to the city.
A short interview was had with Mr..
Brennan just before going to press. He
stated that the telegram mentioned
above was signed with some slight
changes. Principally as to pointof meet
ing. The committee would not go fur
ther east than Chicago. Mr.. Brennan
understands that this $4,000 which
they offer to receive for bonds, shall
be deposited to the order OF the COM
mlttee and by them expended in the
further construction OF the road. That
the guarantee required OF Mr.. Coad is
to the effect that. after this amount OF
work has been added to the road he
will be able to complete its construc-
ton.
Hcnr... Z. Baily depreciates the ac-
ton OF the committee so far. Thinks
greater effort should have been made
to meet Mr.. Coad half way, that moth
in. can be accomplished until members
of the committee meet Mr.. Coad and
his supporters. He believes that if
Mr.. Coad has the hearty support
OF the committee that the
road will be completed. Mr.. Mccarthy
says Coad will never receive the $4,000,
if the committee try to hold any strings
on him, "He amt built that way" lie
thinks the city has gone to far to turn
back and that Coad should and will
have the $4,000, to.invest as he thinks is
to the best interest OF the road.
