LOCAL NOTES.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY

ID. G. Grippin, the efficient post
soldiers home, while on his way home
from town last night, slipped and fell
and broke one of the bones of his right
fore arm near the wrist. 1t is painful,
but not as serious as it might be. His
wife having left the night previous
makes the injury all the harder to bear.
1t has turned out that the Chicago
contractors who were here looking at
our stone interests had been sent out
as expert witnesses to view the red
sandstone quarry which James
Noodle sold to Chicago parties over a
year ago, and against whom he has
brought suit for $4,000 for non-ful-
fillment Of contract.
Congressman William j. Bryan of
Nebraska has been secured for lee
ture ON BIZ -Metallism on the evening Of
July 2Sth by the Black Hills Chautau-
qua assembly. MIR. Bryan has made
this question a special study, is a
forcible and impressive speaker. His
lecture will prove drawing card for
the assembly.
The B. & nj. ran a free excursion
from this city to Alliance, Neb., this
morning, and about forty of our citl-
zens went down, among whom were
Messrs King, Somarindyck, Wilcox,
Vincent, John Gillespie, Walter James,
Il. b. Warren, Ellsworth, Catlin, John
and Frank Evans. The occasion was
the opening of the new opera house
there. "The Count of Monte Christie
will be rendered this evening.
John Mueller, leader of the Hot
Springs brass band, has invented and
applied for patent on a music stand
which is a very ingenious contrivance.
In appearance it is like a cavalry
saber, and may be swung to the per.
SON while marching. In moments
time it can I've changed into convent
ent music stand. We believe MIR
Mueller has Il small fortune in thi.
contrivance.
DIR. E. w. Humphrey, veterinary
surgeon, leaves in the morning fol
Oelrichs to investigate what is supposed
to be Texas fever which has broker
out among the cattle there. Contrary
10 the laws of the state herd of Texa
cattle were driven through that sec
tion few days ago. and it is feared
they have left the disease behind them
Ii it should prove to he genuine Texa
fever, the doctor will establish quar-
antine o~er the southeastern portion O
the county.

DR.. Humphrey leaves tomorrow

Quite scrap took place last night
between some of our young men and
the circus gang which came near get
ting Marshal Roe into trouble with
them. From his version of the affair
we are inclined to think our boys
were to blame as they had no business
prowling round the dressing rooms
anyhow.
The banquet and reception given by
the president and faculty Of the Black
Hills college last night was an impos-
ing affair. There were probably
twenty covers lald in all and although
we have had no special report of it we
rather guess at it that it was splendid
supper. Things gotten up at the
Evans of that nature are not usually
half done and Dad is right on to his
Job when it comes to getting up a de-
licious repast.

The crowd of people who went to
Alliance yesterday on the excursion

no argument is allowed they can only
present the facts.

A GREAT GOLD FIELD.

The estimated yield of the Randi mines
in South Africa this year is total of
100000 ounces, which would be worth
about S23,0O0O0O. Each month has shown
an advance of output except February. In
August the yield was 1861 ounces. South
Africa is now the most prolific auriferous
region of the world. but il has been only
skinned so far, there being still vast reef
deposits to develop. One thing is greatly
in favor of enterprise. The milling is said
to be conducted fairly In the interest of
shareholders. and the processes are the
most economical known, with the result
that almost every particle of gold is eX-
tracted, and the tailings, after treatment.

NOURPS FARRAGO.
A Critic of the Fabricator of the
Ecclesiastical Crazy Quilt.

Editor Of the Morning Call-DEAR SIR:
With reference to the lecture delivered
last evening by DR.. Nouri il may interest
some of your readers to know some of the
following facts:
Mount Ararat-This mountain was
almost in accessible for many years. until
at length DIR. Parrot, in 1880. found means
to ascend 10 its highest peak. He de-
termined tbs altitude of the same to be
l7.230 feet. and that IL was covered from
1880 feet upward with perpetual ice ana
snow. Subsequent researches proved his
observations to be correct.
The Mountains OF the Moon - Old
geographic compilers say: "These noun
tains were originally known TO the an
clients under several names. among which
we may mention Ion Mons toward the
Atlantic, as spOnding with what
we may designate the Kong Mountains.
and Its eastern part was named 'Lunal
Mountains or the Mountains of the Moon,
an application still preserved in that of
'Gebel Komri.' PtOlemv, the Egyptian
sage, drew these mountains as reaching
across Africa from the Atlantic to the Red
Sea. Scheaddin says the Nile takes its
source from the Mountains of the Moon.
1t cuts horizontally the equator in its north
course.
Stanley, however, having ascertained
that the Nile takes its origin from the two
lakes discovered Ivy him, viz. 4: Albert N.Y.
ANA and Victoria NyanZa. proved the
fallacy of his statement. and, moreover,
says that in the whole of his travels he
came @across no range of hills that CORE
spond with these mountains, and further
adds that the similarity of all the Yves
Coast tribes from Lake Tchad to Loanda
proves the nOn-existence of these MOun-
tains of the Moon which have been drawn
across Africa since Ptolemy's time.
Respecting the ten lost tribes l think
that IL IS quite unnecessary for DR.. Nourl
to leave this city in order To discover traces
Of the same. / am, sir, Yours faithfully,

A FIGHT TO A FINISH.

The New York San says the Democrats
are in The fight to re cal the Federal cleo
ton laws till the Republicans throw UP the
sponge. This, in the Suns opinion, is the
one issue upon which the Democrats are
united. The San adds:
The Democrats will fight upon this theme
until Tom Reeds forehead reaches m his heeis
Neither clustering nor hlbustering can long
prevent the Democrats from purcing The STAT
nte-books OF these election laws and restoring
10 the people the power of conducting their
elections without interference
In making the repeal of the Federal
laws the dominant purpose of the admins
tration the San practically admits that a
fair election would be fatal to the party IL
represents. The large Democratic major
ity in the House is derived mostly from
the South and three or four Northern
cities. 1t is precisely in these localities
that Federal supervision is needed to pre-
vent violence and fraud. There is no pre-
tense OF denial that in certain of the
southern States the negro vote was sup
pressed. There is about as little doubt OF
frauds in New York City. The way has
been prepared by Democratic Legisla-
ture which gives that party control of the
election boards of the State. If the RICH,
of the Federal Government to see m n
Congressman are fairly elected is denied
the Democrats can count OH a full third
OF the House as surely before the election
as after. This sort of thing will not do
Minority parties submit to maiorities 81

dence that the will of the people has been

REDEEMING GREENBACKS.

An Eastern writer suggests that an in
creased use of silver could be secured by
the retirement of greenbacks. He argues
that as greenbacks were originally issued
Q a kind of forced loan they should be
sgld when the circumstances calling for
their issue have passed away. II may
never have occurred to this writer that
greenbacks parted with their character as
q forced loan when the Government de-
eIared its readiness to redeem them as fast
as they might be offered. That declaTa-
ton has been standing fourteen years. and
the volume of greenb backs is substantial
the same as when the redemption law was
enacted. Silver would not in any case
take the place of greenbacks. People do
not want to handle coin in large amounts.
But If the S346. 10000 of greenbacks were
retired there would be fine opening for
national bank bills based upon such Sc
curity as Congress may be induced to &C
cept Under the present law a national
bank bill is as good as greenback, but o
one knows how long the present law will
stand. But if we admit that Congress
viii always require ample security for
currency, why should the Government pay
Interest On the S346. 100000 of bonds that
would be deposited to secure that amount

DULL INSINUATION.

Our Democratic contemporary berates
Senator Stewart savagey for his arraign-
ment of President Cleveland on the evil
dence furnished by newspapers. ut is
one thing" our nimble contemporary re-
marks, "for a newspaper to draw infer
ences from significant facts; it is a diff
ferent matter for Senator of the United
States to make these differences his own on
the floor of the Sense and then refuse TO
father specific allegations" This is the
most humiliating confession that we re-
member newspaper to have made. It is
an admission that newspaper is not bound
to be certain of its facts before it makes
charges; that 1t is less responsible source

BULLION CURRENCY.

A correspondent refers TO the solution nj
the silver problem which was offered NV
Professor Andrews of Redands as being
substantially the same as one proposed nv
the late Secretary Window. and which ba 8
been Endorsed by other fnanciers of stand
ing. The Redlands solution, as we will
call II for convenience, proposes an issue
oil currency on a bimetallic basis. The
feature which distinguishes it from other
plans is that when currency is presented
IT shall be paid in gold or silver. not in a
liked number of dollars. but in as many
dollars as the market arice of the bullion
used in making paEaent shall call for.
For example. certificate calling for 500
would be paid with SiO0 in gold, but if
payment should be made in silver, as
many silver dollars would be given in
payment as would be worth in the market
as bullion 500 in gold. One objection TO
the plan is that the value of certificate in
silver would always be in doubt. A GER
uhcate would call for more silver one day
than another. according as the market fol
silver tiuctuated. Another objection is
that one metal or the other would neces.

THE TlNPLATE INDUSTRY.

Under the present tariff the tinplate in
dustry Is making much more rapid prog
resS than the steel industry made during
the first ten years of protection. The
American manufacture is about one-ff-
teenth of the whole. In view of the fact
that until the duty was raised in 1890 no
plate was manufactured in this country,
the present output is astonishing. But
this will not save the industry unless
some kind of combination prevents the
Democrats from pushing their revenue bill
through both houses of Congress. Under
a revenue tariff there would be no induce
ment to invest money in tinplate plants.
The old-estabished works In Wales. with
their cheap labor. would flood the market
at prices below the American cost.
