Buchanan, Of the Sioux Falls Forum,
who last year strayed away from the re-
publican fold, has reconsidered his
action and resumed his former position
in the ranks Of the old party Of diplo-
matte wisdom, substantial reform, and
unabating progress. The Pierre Signal,
commenting upon his late change Of
heart, says he changes his politics with
as much sang froid as did Judge Shiras
his opinion in the reversal Of his deci-
sion upon the question of the consti.u-
tionality Of the income tax law. The
Signal offers some excuse for Buchanan,
however, in the statement that ito be a
vaciIlating politician in these uncertain
times ia excusable, but supreme judge
W hose mind wavers in such childlike
manner is unworthy of the title he
bears"

that all who love their country, should
meet this day to do solemn homage to

the old man should come to-day TO do
homage to those who died, and to those
who risked their lives that he may pass

1t is well that the young man should
come, and with bowed head, drop

An Exaggerated Report.

The following report of Edgemont's
rapid advancement, recently submitted
by a presumably envious Deadwoodite
to the Independent, is evidently much
overdrawn, and should be taken with a
strong solution of salt and salerstus:
"a Deadwoodite who returned from
Edgemont yesterday states that that
town is having great boom. He says
they are building l6 foot sidewalks
away out into the country. They have
laid out sark on the canal much after
the plan Of Central Park, New York,
with elegant Bridges over the canal like
those at the Worlds Fair. They even
have signs stuck up" Keep off the Grass"
Our informant said the strange thing
about it was that there is not blade of
grass in sight.
"The Edgemont Express 10 in charge
Of Harry Goddard, and that too is on a
boom. Harry gets $500 month and
perqnisites of the office. The circulation
is-well as large as the press can turn
out between one issue and the next.
They do not go through any trouble
some formalities Of getting subscribers;
they just send the papers any where aud
everywhere. The Office is about the
size Of q skating rinb and is receiving
machinery and material by the carload
every day.
"The grindstone industry is what they
depend upon to make the town. They
keep grindstones there for samples and
invite each visitor TO carry one away in
his pocket as q souvenir. Our informant
walked over TO a hardware store and
there he saw lot Of grindstones stand
ing outside. but examining tn EN- found
that they were Ohio stones. He asked
the merchant why he did not sell Edge
mont grindstones. aud was informed
that the grindstones produced in that 10.
cality we're only used for the purpose of
sharpening peoples sppeiites when they
come to Edgemont. Our informant de-
clared that II he had stayed there for
another meal he would have been com
PEELED to buy grindstons."

Captain James Wrinn appeared be-
fore the board last night and advocated
the immediate grading of Washington
treet in accordance with the order from
the court of common council 1t was
stated that the cost of grading the
street Is estimated at 81, 900 and In view
of the fact that there is over 81, 100 with
which to do the work Of grading it was
decided to have 1t attended to at once.
Ex-Mayor S. A. York, Charles E.
Graves, DR.. Beckwith, DIR. Hillhouse
and a number of others were also pres
ent and argued at length against the
removal of the iron emergency tank on
Chapel street in front of the green. An
order was recently passed by the court
of common council stipulating that the
place in question should be removed by
June l, and it was against the enforce
ment of this order that the gentlemen
argued. 1t was also argued that under
no circumstances should the present
structure be removed until another had
been located in some suitable place
These gentlemen are opposed to locating
the structure on the green.
The commissioners decided to refer
the order for its removal back to the
court of common council on the ground
that there was no money on hand with
which to do the work.
: The contracts forthe several sewers
were then awarded as follows: For sew
er in Asylum street, from Sylvan ave-
nue. to Oak street, to A. Brazos & Son,
$955.20; for sewer in Lines street, from

He Has Nothing t, as Abnut Going Into
the Cabinet.
New York, May 29.-Ex-Secretary
whitney arrived to-day on the steamer
Teutonic after six months tour
abroad Most of the time was spent In
Egypt and southern Europe. With Mr..
Whitney were his son Harry, his daugh-
ter Pauline, Miss Hannah Davidge, Mr..
Alexander Gum and Miss H. T. Bar
ney. Miss Davidge denied the report
from Washington that the engagement
to Mr.. Whitney would shortly be an
nounced Mr.. Whitney looked remark
ably we'll He was painfully shocked
at the news of Secretary Gresham's
death. An attempt to draw from him
any statement regarding the possibility
of his taking a place in the cabinet
proved futile. He was interested in the
latest local developments, expressing
surprise at the retirement of Chief of
Police Byrnes, whom he spoke of as an
able man. But he appeared more sur
prised when told that movement was
under way to bring about a consolida-
tfon of democratic factions in the city
under his good offices and leadership.
Asked if he would consent to interest
himself he said:
"I shall be glad to help in any effort
to bring about a union of democratic
forces. We can win no battles fighting
among ourselves"
Regarding the international compl-
cations and the course Of the admins
tration in the Niearaguan and Alliance
affairs Mr. Whitney would say nothing.
Reminded of the cabled interview with
him regarding the Alliance matter he
said;
eyes, / saw it. In its wording it
struck me as being a little bombastic
In its general tone 1t expressed my feel
ings."
He further said regarding the Cuban
situation, that Cuba was an expensive
possession for Spain, while one visiting
Cuba could not but lament the pitiable
condition there existing from oppressive
taxation.
OF the political outlook in national af-
fairs Mr.. Whitney expressed the belief
that the next campaign would hinge on
the currency question. The tariff
would not figure in it, Among manu-
facturers whom he had met abroad, of
republican proclivities, were agreed
that the tariff had better be left alone.
On the currency question the ex-secre-
tary spoke freely. He expressed him
self as unequivocally for bimetallism--
but international, not local bimetallism
This, he believed, could be attained
1t was a matter of regret, he said, that
the question should have taken the
shape it had-more especially that IL
should have assumed the nature of a
sectional issue. His observation abroad |
had led him to different conclusion.
He believed that international bimetal- |
lism was a matter of but three or four |
years. England was ripening for it.
There was not a university professor l
in England to-day, he said, who did |
not favor bimetallism-nor big man |
ufacturer. There is no quarrel over BIZ |
metallism. 1t is over the method of OBJ
tanning 1t. The east believes that inde
pendent action will not accomplish the
object believe an international agree
ment can be had, and there is no occa-
sion to assume the risk Of independent
action"
