The Lead City Call is justly indignant
over an article appearing in the Red
field, 5. d., Recorder, in which the i'll
informed writer enormously locates the
great mines Of the Homestake at Dead
wood. upon which the irrepressble
editor of the Call submits the following

ass that ever brayed through the COZ

quently read in eastern papers about the
grea. mining industries of Deadwood
the same being complied and sent by
some lying correspondent of that town,
but when you read such reports in a
South Dakota paper, one cannot but
wonder at the number of brainless peo-
pie, who call themselves newspaper
men, who are let live in civilized
community. For the benefit of this
fellow and others we will state that the
Homestake mine is located in Lead, a
town of 5000 inhabitants, which cast
nearly 800 more votes than Deadwood
at the last general election. The Home
stake mine, proper, and the largest
stamp mill in America, are within two
blocks of the Lead postofiice. Also that
Deadwood is wholly dependent upon
Lead for its existence. and is only a
suburb of our town. The Black Hills
represent 100 square miles of the rich
est mineral deposits on the face of the
globe and Lead is the "hub" on which
the surrounding towns revolve."

A Strong sentimen, for silver

Notwithstanding the claims of the
monometalist that the silver craze, as
they are pleased to term it, is gradually
subsiding, the evidences Of a growing
sentiment IN favor of the white metal
among the masses is most apparent.
The American Farmer. commenting
upon the present status of the silver
situation, submits the following
'The unanswerable logic of events is
proving that as long as silver is not
recognized as money OF ultimate re-
demption, there can be no prosperity
among the producing classes, and this is
bringing bout radical change la tho
views of those whose political am.
bition makes them anxious to retain
popular favor. Three years ago the
silver advocates we're in what seemed
to be helpless minority, but its friends
felt secure in their position and freely
prophesied what would result If the
anti-silver policy was persisted in. Now
that the prophesies have been fulfilled
almost TO the letter, the friends OF bt-
metallism are legion, and Others are
constantly coming over to their support.
IL the question were put 70 the Ameri-
can people to-day. stripped Of all other
considerations. the vote in favor Of free
silver would be overwhelming b.
metallism is rapidly becoming the most
prominent issue In American politics.
as 1t is the most important. and nothing
can prevent 1t from assuming its right
ful position in the immediate future.
Members of every party are turning to
the views Of the siver advocates as our
principal hope OF relief from business
stagnation. II is question that is
above and beyond party lines and will
not be put down."

The Indians at Pine Ridge are re-
ported as getting restless and recall
citrant on account Of the protracted
drouths which have reduced them TO
poverty Settlers are said to be fearful
of another outbreak, as il is claimed that
the reds have not been entirely peace
able since the last outbreak. This news
comes through a Pine Ridge CORES
ponden to Chicago paper, and should
be taken with fair degree of allowance
for the prevailing disposition among the
agency reporters to indulge in sensa-
tional slush, for it is very probable that
there are no just grounds for such state
ments The Indian, under the most
favorable circumstances, is not the most
peaceful fellow in the world, and il
liable to get his back up upon the slight
est provocation, bu. that there is any
thing alarming in the present situation
or any valid reason why the couptry
should become he scene OF another sx-
citing scare, to its general detrinlent
we do not believe. The efforts of few
hangers on at the agency to create a
scare, for purpose, should be discour-
aged, and their reports be published
only with a proper comment thereon.

The Leader, in its issue of last week
refers to n. S. Tubbs, popular resident
Of this place, as having declared his in
tention Of quitting politics, and here.
after working for a party that favored his
interests" To us this would seem TO be
paradoxical, as we fail to see how a man
could ignore politics and still work for a
party; we are therefore inclined TO the
belief that, in this instance, Mr.. Tubbs
has been misquCted. For the better in
formation Of the public We desire to say
that Mr.. T. has renounced his allegiance
to the democratic party of which he has
been devoted member since he reach
ed the age of manhood, for good and
sufficient reasons, mainly on account of
that party opposing the great principle
of protection to American industries,
and that he has united with the repub-
lican party, believing as he very con-
sistently does, that under its fostering
care, his material interests are better
protected, than they would be by any
other party. The change is not an un-
common one it was clearly advisable,
and Mr.. Tubbs is to be commended for
the step taken.

Horse meat, as an article Of food, has
been in common use In France for
many years, large quantities of which
have been consumed with the most
satisfactory results, but New York
City butcher who recently announced
his intention, in an advertisement, TO
place that article on the market. has
created a commsion among the denixens
of that place that bids fair to result in
an indignation meeting, or some other
equally forcible demonstration Of public
disfavor. Notwithstanding the fierce
opposition manifested against its intro
duction. there is every reason to believe
that. in New York. horse meat has come
to stay.

The Parker New Era, Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader and other papers in the
eastern part Of the state are advocating
the policy of Withdrawing state support
from our state educational institutions
and turning them over to the respective
townsJn which they are located for mali :.
tainance. This policy is urged with
vi w to the reduction Of state expense,
which now exceeds the revenues by
100000 per annum. The necessity for
retrenchment is apparent, and will be
universally admitted, but the method
proposed is certainly the most objection
able that could be suggested. There are
divers ways to accomplish the end de.
sired and the closing Of our educational
institutions should be the last method
to he considered. Were it necessary we
might submit many reasons in support
Of the policy of retaining these institu
tions, but it is a question in which is
clearly embodied the elements Of its
own solution, and will therefore admit
OF no argument, and ii is and will re-
main the standing wonder Of the in
tel!igent MASSES, that any public journal
published in this advanced age, should
advocate policy which could have no
other effect than TO retard the inteIlec-
tuai advancement: Of the state, and for
the time being result in a practical
about face" upon the radiant path of
educational progress, toward the dark
aud dreary realms of barbarism. When
all other expedients have failed, and
not until then, should a policy so
inimical to the well being Of society,
and so repugnant TO the will Of the
masses be, for a moment, entertained.
Abrogate the office of Mine Inspector if
you will tnrn down the railroad com.
mis>ioners if necessary blot out the of
flee Of labor statistics if you must. but
do not dare to lay a finger upon our
schools until all other means of re-
trenchment are exhausted. The Era
and Argus must suggest some other
method, as it is the unwritten fiat Oft the
masses that our schools must and shall
be preserved intact.

There is an evident intention mani
fest in IA certain section of the state 10
spring the question Of the removal of
the state capital at the coming session
of the Legislature upon the grounds of
the inaccessibly Of its present location.
The alleged reason for removal would
be ample and sufficient if il could be
shown that present conditions would
remain permanent, as all will admit
that, with present limited transportation
facilities, Pierre is very difficult point
to reach, especially from the western
part OF the state. But as We understood
the situation at the time OF the capital
contest, and still so understand il, the
capital was located at Pierre. not BY
reason of its central situation, or acces.
sibility at that time, but upon the
rational supposition that it would event.
ually become so by the development Of
the great mineral resources of the Black
Hills, and the consequent settlement of
rich and extensive area OF country
which at that time was and yet remains
sparsely settled as compared with the
older settled sections of the state. The
present outlook for more rapid settle
ment Of the region referred to is ex
ceedingly bright, and the wisdom of
locating tn state capital with this en-
larged growth in view, is gradually
becoming more apparent. We regard
any attempt to change the present loca-
ton of the state capital as being unwise.
i'll advised, and in the light Of the un-
questioned future advancement of the
western portion of the state, cannot be
otherwise than detrimental to the pub
lie interests in the end. Black Hills
members of the state legislature should
be unitin opposing any movement hav
ing this object in view, as vote in
favor of The same would be equivalent
to an acknowledgement that the Black
Hills region has reached its zenith. and
that all hope of future progress might
as well be renounced, and permitted tc
vanish into thin air.
