i CHANGES.

We stated last week that many im-
portant changes would be made in THE
BLACK HILLS UNION. We are able this
week to a few OF them. The
UNION management has proved that
the business men OF Rapid City
appreciate a good advertising medium.
The demand for space in our columns
has been such as to necessitate our run
ming double space during much of the
fall AMI at all times has given our read
ers too great proportion OF advertis-s
ing for the amount Of reading matter
furnished. The circulation is extending
largely into Meade and Custer counties
and Tor the accommodation OF these sub
scribers we have resolved to deyote a
certain space to these counties and have
secured correspondents at both Sturgis
and Custer City, The UNIONS circula-
ton is almost wholly among the farm
ers. This is shown by our want column
and estray notices.. We are at present
running more OF the latter than all the
other papers ofthe Black Hills combined.
The management has been urged for
the past year to give more agricultural
matter and if possible to add a stock
department. We have now on our files
applications from many ofourstockmcn
for space for cuts with brands. To meet
these calls it has been resolved to add
a live stock department.
TO meet all these demands the UNION
will be enlarged to q six column quartz
rs soon as the necessary material or
) dered arrives. This will not only give
7 more space but allows the dividing o
! the different departments. Meade ant
Custer oun ties will have one page fol
a start. Able men in these counties have
been secured as local editors and will
! be announced latter. We are pleased tt
state that tile stock department will b.
\ under the editorial management o
. James p. Black the well known stock
man OF this city, than whom there il
no better authority on blood lines ant
live stock generally. The articles OF Mr.
), Black that have appeared OCCASIONAL,
y IN these columns and in the Republican
:" and S%tockman OF this city have beef
{ widely copied by the different stool
journals Of the northwest, and Clark
= Horse Review OF Chicago, the American
u Trotter OF Independence, the Kentuck'
} Stock Farm OF Lexington, mi Cheyenn
Stock journal. We are sure that thi
addition to the Union will be widel
! appreciated.

Took His Own Life.

Early Sunday afternoon it was noiscd
around that youngLouis C. Stolzenbulg
had committed suicide at the Park
Hotel, where he had been employed as
assistant in the kitchen. Investigation
corroDorated the rumor. Coroner j.
d. Lake empannelled ajury and after ex-
amining several persons a verdict was
returned to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by a gun shot wound
inflicted by his own hand. The evidence
elected the fact that the boy, who was
only sixteen years OF age, had been act
ing and talking in Il rather eccentric
manner lately, giving color to the theory
tina his mind might have been temper
arily unbalanced.
Louis was naturally OF a bright sun
shiny disposition, beloved by all who
knew him. The afflicted parents and
family have the sympathy OF the com
munity.

Stand From Under,

The grand jury which has just com
pleted its work, under the charge OF
Judge Gardner, has left an indellible
mark in the history OF the Black Hills
live stock industry. 1t has grasped the
situation and declares in unmistakable
terms that the cattle rustler has run
his day and must be dealt with sum
MARTY. Several indictments have been
entered up and thus has the thin edge Of
the wedge been inserted into a syste-
matically arranged method OF stealing
live stock, that had well nigh baffled our
courts OF justice in their attempts to
cope with it, and that had almost
reached the point OF running the rcputa-
tatlon OF our country for live stock
breeding. Let the good work 20 on, for
there are no doubt others, implicated in
this business. Let those who are not
implicated, stand from under and wash
their hands OF their friends who are en-
gagged in this questionable method OF
enrichment, least they too, get cauter-
lied with the unatlema OF public op;n-
ion, remembering the old adage "birds OF
a feather flock together.

The Creamery Project.

Through the eXertlons OF the Rapid
City board OF trade, it is o almost
definitely settled that the creamery
plant which has been idle for u couple
OF years, will be started up under an eX-
perienccd management.
From a talk with President Hughes a
UNION reporter learned that the party
who will assume control claims that he
will need about four hundred head o.
COWS within q radius OF seven miles o.
Rapid City. Probably by next week the
UNION will be able to furnish the prices
| which the management expects to pay
and other interesting data inconnectlol
| with the concern.

PURE DEsIAGOGY.

In view OF the fact that the American
government worked mapy years To Sc
cure the opening OF the ports Of China
to our commerce, ard to the further
fact that for years America has been
sending thlthersmissionaries to aosist in
the ciyiiiZing and conversion OF the
"heathen Chinee," and the still further
fact that the American government was
anxious TO make-and. after long negO-
tlatiOns, succeeded in making-a treaty
with the Chinese government, by which
her ports were opened TO our commerce,
our merchants were permitted TO visit
and reside in their country, and our
missionaries were given prOtection-we
say, in view OF these and other reasons,
the proposition of congress to arbitrarily
break all treaty stioulations, ami to
place the two countries back in the
position occupied by them 100 years ago,
seems extremely strange.
The house Of congress seems to have
forgotten that treaty betw .en nations
was sacred and coil not be abrogated
at the caprice Of one Of the parties with
ont the consent OF the other. it seems
to overlook the fact that the passage Of
the GEAEY bill would be an act grossly
contrary TO the spirit OF the institutions
of this country, even were there in
volyed no violation Of good faith be-
tween nations.
Besides. as long as anarchists, pau
pers and the lowest criminals of the
vilest dens OF Europe and every other
section Of the world are freely dumped
upon our shores, there seems to be
neither reason or consistency in eXclud-
ing all Chinese merchants ana business
men from dealing with us. We are
about to hold worlds fair, in which
all nations are invited to participate.
yet congress proposes 10 shut the door
in the face of one of the greatest ma
tions-in some respects upon the
globe.
Let the law be made rigid against the
importation, by contract, of coolies and
of the lower and more ignorant classes;
and let the law extend to the vicious
OF all countries. But the passage of the
GEARY bill will be double-dyed dema-
goguery. 1t will be more than that; it
will be a crime.

THE PROHIBITION TICKET.

The Republican convention did Just
what was expected Of it. after what has
occurred. The Prohibitionists dictated
a nomination, and the WORKOUT and dis
appointed believers in high taxes ana
low wages fell into their outstretched
arms. 1t would not be the Republican
party TO do anything popular, but
when an unfortunate opportunity pre-
sents itself none is quicker to take ad-
vantage of it. The shrewd heads of
yesterdays assembly were keenly aware
of the impending blunder. but were
unable to avert it. They knew that
while Col. WRIGHT is a very fine and
pleasant gentleman, he is far from the
ideal candidate. He would grace any
social gathering and ornament any club
assembly, but these are not the vote
getting qualities demanded in q candi-
date, and especially in a candidate who
is expected to lead Il forlorn hope. The
wise heads OF this convention. as stated,
saw all of this. They saw that a Prohi-
bItion nominee was defeated in advance
before st. Paul constituency, and it
was the Sheerest folly 20 place any such
on their ticket. They argued and they
GRATED, but it was in vain. Their earn
estness was greeted with Kisses and
their appeals with sneers. The silk
stocking element had the convention
well in hand. and the party work ers
were eoldly turned down. The Prohi-
bition candidate was indorsed, aud the
party rushed headlong to its fate.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The Democrats Of President HARRI-
SONS home state held an enthusiastic
convention yesterday The fifteen dele
gates elected were instructed to favor
the nomination OF GRoyEI CLEVELAND
while he remained a possibility at Chi
cago, and then TO direct their best en-
ergies toward the success Of ISAAC
Pussy GEAY. Thus. 1t will be seen
that as a state, Indiana has faYorite
SON, but its national fayorite is, as
demonstrated, ex-Pfesident SLEEVE
LAND. There were a number OF ring
ing speeches made in the convention,
mainly denuncIatory Of the corruption
of the present administration. Upon
this subject Indiana is in position TO
speak aulhortatiyely. Within her bor-
ders have been committed some of the
gTayest offenses against good govern
ment and clean political methods. The
reDrehensible practices OF B!Ocks-0f-
Five DUDLEY are all familiar to the
HOLSTERS 1t was from Indiana that
Judge WooD was elevated to the bench
of the United States circuit court as Il
political reward for shady participation
OF a political crime. Altogether. Indiana
is Ell rapport with much miscellaneous
information concerning croOkedness OF
the present administration. She can
speak by the card. And her enuneia-
lions have Wel9ht
