A Washington dispatch says Secretary
Morton has caught up with the efforts of
two or three congressman trying TO add
to their perauisites by decidedly queer
transactions. The story goes that by
chance Mr. Morton learned that a guam
tity of seeds such as the government fur
nishes congressman for the purpose of
distribution to their constituents had been
sold to dealers, and on looking the matter
up was able to buy the seeds for $50.
He has the names of the congressman
who raised money in this peculiar man
ner. one of them being a member from
Massachusetts, and the other from Ten
nessee,- and the secretary is inclined
to publish the names of these offenders
''These seeds do not become the property
of members of congress- said Mr. Nor
ton. They are given to members in trust
for distribution to their constituents, and
are no more the property Of the members
themselves than are the chairs which
they occupy on the floor of the House"
For several years there have been com
plants concerning the sales of books and
other government documents by congress-
men, but 1t is believed this is the first
instance Of the conversion Of seeds into
cash for congressional pockets.

\ ReIIsiou. sian Of The Times.

I-non the authority Of a writer in the
New York Independent. there are in chs
country 4.6-s-2lI male members and esl6.f-i
female members Of Protestant churches.
the proportion Of the female membership
TO the male membership being about two

more professed Christians among the wo-
men than the men is a question that has
been frequently discuss d. but never sat
isfactorily answered. There are many
reasons assigned FOR the condition, which
has long prevailed. but none Of the rea-
sons necessarily imply the inadequacy OF
the Protestant religion as IL applies TO
the man. or the degeneracy Of the mascu-
line sex. The percentage Of voters who
are protested Christians. in all churches
the number Of such persons in this coun-
try is estimated az little over 5,4G9.0o0-
is said to be lower now than it has been
for years. The voting strength of the
United States is about 100000, so that
only about one vote in three is a church
member. upon the face of the returns"
Do these statements mean that the pulpit
is losing in its influence upon men, or
that the power Of the Christian religion
is waning? II cannot be so. A recent
writer in a magazine gave statistics to
show that churches are as literally pat
ronized now as they ever were. that they
are collecting as much or more for char
ity work and that ministers of the gos-
pei are as well taken care of. That the
pulpit sim welded a mighty power was
Illustrated by reference to what preach
ers had done in the matter Of the reforma-
ton Of politics in New York.
The gospel as 1t is taught to-day is
broader and more liberal than ever be
fore. More tolerant ideas prevail. De-
tails of belief are rot so rigidly enforced
by church authorities. The pulpit per-
mits the pcw to think. il may be that
one result of this liberalism has been to
cause men to regard church membership
less seriously than heretofore. Some OF
the most liberal Of givers to church work
are not church members. They attend
the services and help, through their purses
to spread Of the tenets of the faith; but
they are not ective church members. The
newspapers. too, in a measure, take a
part of the pulpits work They print
sermons and religious discourses. Many
men take the mos; OF their spiritual pabu-
lum from the Newspaper columns. perhaps
to the neglect Of attending church serv-
ices and becoming church members. The
gospel, therefore. it is safe to say, reaches
more people than it has at any previous
time. But it is regrettable that the pro-
portion Of church members is not greater.
The falling OF in church attendance is
not a wholesome sign.

The plow is known to be about seven
hundred years older than the Christian re-
ligion. 1t may be older than that 1t is
one Of the first implements mentioned in
the Old Testament, and it may be that
after Adam left the garden he plowed
the land with a forked stick. The pillow
of to-day therefore, is the product of an
evolution that has been going on for at
least $500 years. In that length of time
an implement Of everyday use, it seems
would be brought to high state of per-
lection. Nevertheless. Secretary Of Agri-
culture Morton says the modern pillow is
pretty much of a fraud, and is an enemy
to fertility. He invites the genius of Amer
lea TO invent something better than the
plow to take its place.

For the nencnt of root nnII.

Foot BAN players seem TO be slow to
realize the fact that unless something is
done to elevate the sport it will become
practically a dead letter, at least in so far
as the leading college teams are con>
cerned. The brutality of the game as
played during the last season or two has
caused the faculties of several of the great
colleges, the faculty of the university
of this state among the number, to take
action to prescribe it. That there
is good reason for such action will not
be disputed A report by Or. w. w. Keene
on the injuries caused to cadets at West
Point from foot bail playing shows that
as compared with other athletic games,
foot ball is the most dangerous of them
all. Public criticism, as well as the ac-
ton of the college authorities, has put
the game under the ban. Yet, so far,
the rules Of last year remain unchanged.
a movement looking to a modification
of the playing rules has been started in
the University of Pennsylvania. A rules
convention, to be composed of delegates
from the various leading universities ana
colleges. is suggested. If the players and
the admirers of the game are wise. and
desire that it shall survive. they will
acquiesce in the suggestion. and endeavor
to make the convention a success. y
revision of the rules is absolutely neees-
sary, or the game will be forbidden by
legislation as well as by college regula-
ton. The game should rank as high as or
higher than base ball; it now ranks in
public opinion along with pugilism. The
friends Of the game can relieve it of the
! disgrace into which it has fallen, and
they ought to do it once

A correspondent Of the Sioux Falls
Press writing from Hot Springs, under
date Of July 3rd, gives an interesting
account of the late excursion of the
South Dakota Press Association through
the Hills, from which we extract the
following having special reference to
Custer and Sylvan lake:
The South Dakota Press association
members who have been having such q
great time for the past week in the
Black Hills have returned home. Last
wednesday morning they left here for
Cnster where they were met by brass
band, company Of national guards, and
enough carriages TO carry the party to
Sylvan lake, six miles distant. That
drive Of six miles is one Of the finest in
the Hills. but when the party arrived at
the sylvan lake hotel, where the pro-
prietor, Theodore Reder, had provided
free entertainment for twenty-four
hours, the editors and ladies' thought
their pleasure was complete. In the
afternoon after a climb toward Harney
peak, arriving at Cathedral park all were
AenIanced by the magnificence of the
Wv. The needles" rising in abrupt
hcakness straight up from the chasms
below and the PERCEPTIONS bluffs all
around kept the party interested for
hours. Some of the stronger Of the
party made the full trip to the summit
Of Harvey peak, $500 feet high. the
highest pinnacle Of the Black Hills. Boat
rides on the beautiful lake right in front
of the big hotel were enjoyed, and the
members of the party decided after
making the entire trip Of the Hills that
for picturesqueness and grandeur there
was not spot equal to the Sylvan Lake
country. Thursday the party started
ont for the return trip TO Custer, with
rain clouds touching the wagons, the
elevation being so high.

A Lead City correspondent to the
Yankton Press and Dakotan says: "The
Black Hills and the state Of South Da-
kota have reason to rejoice not only at
her mineral resources but at their pres.
ent stage of development, which is put
ting upon the market upward Of a half
million dollars in gold each month and
will in the near future double this
amount many times. We are now in a
position to say to eastern money men
that they can make better money out Of
investments in the Black Hills mines
than anything else in the union to-day,
and if they don't care to take chances
there is already sufficient capital inter
ested here to work ont the results in a
few wears The Black Hills is no longer
compelled to send agents east to interest
capital as capital is eager to come hithsr.
From political view the most lament
able feature is that the richest spot on
earth is SO isolated from the larger part
OF the state. With the exception of a
few men who go as delegates to political
or secret society conventions very few
men ever get TO the cities of eastern
South Dakota, and hence have no
knowledge Of it or acquaintance in it.
The merchants buy their goods in Oma-
ha or Chicago, import their produce from
Nebraska aud blow in their money in
Nebraska. We blame eastern Dakota
because she undertakes us, she blames
us because We under-rate her, and in
both cases the blame has good founda.
tion. The solution rests in railroad
communication direct. South Dakota
is destined to be great state at all
hazards, but with this additional strength
she would be one of the strongest Of the
younger states, whereas she may now
be compared to a pair of moderately
healthy Siamese twins"

Mining Items.
THE IDA FLORENCE SOLD.


Monday at the Commercial Bank in
this city the bonds on the noted Ida
Florence mine were taken up and the
property changed hands from its origi
nal owners Ben Mitchell, Vim. B. Frank
lin, Capt. Pope, Jas HALEY, Ii. J Smith
and A. Madil to David Sisk of Chicago.
The property was bonded TO NJ. j. Scan.
Ian April LIST, for ninety days at 5000.
The conditions being that development
work should be kept up during the time
or until well defined ledge should be
found. Scanlan fulfilled every detail of
the contract and was rewarded during
the last week of the bond by discover
ing rich ledge of ore, eighteen feet in
thickness, encased between we'll defined
walls of horn blende and porphyry.
The ore is free milling and in grade and
character very much like the Bismarck.
The vein being at the end of two hun
dred and fifteen foot prospect tunnel,
considerable more work will be done
before the new owners will commence
milling the ore. 1t was Mr.. Scanlans
intention on bonding the property to
place it with eastern parties, but find
ing so rich ledge he induced his
brother-in-law Mr.. Sisk to make the
purchase. Pilot.

An Advertise ment for the Hills.

Rev. W. Givan, late pastor of the
Baptist church of this city, and a lectur-
er eff note, who has been engaged TO
travel in Missouri and other states in
the interest of Home and Foreign Mis-
sions, has, in his repertoire of lectures,
one devoted TO a description of the
Black Hills, its natural resources and
special advantages, which will be pro-
fusely illustrated with fine stereopti-
con. The views, taken by l.. w. Marble,
the Custer photographer, will be varied,
embracing every feature of interest to
the tourist, investor and homeseeker
The lecture will treat upon the early
history. Of the region, its mineral re-
sources and kindred industries, its peer
less native scenery, its salubrious
climate; etc. The advantages Of having
this subject presented to the outside
world in an intelligent and vigorous
manner is plain to the thoughtful man,
and cannot fail to be crowned with
beneficial results, and in view Of this
fact, every encouragement should be
given to the enterprise. That the Black
IN, Is is one Of the most favored regions
extant, there can be no question, and
our chief aim should be the publication
Of this cheering fact TO q world which
Ss yet, has not to any considerable ex-
ttent, become familiar with il.
n Mr.. Givan is especially desirous OF
taking with him specimens of our vari-
Gus mineral products to be used for
exhibition in connection with his illu-
strated lecture, and if sufficient interest
is manifested on the part Of our people.
the specimens will be artistically mount
ed Specimens may be left at the Office
OF L. w. Marble, and it is desired that
each should be accompanied with the
name of the donor, its character, and
the locality from which it was taken.
Twelve different states will be embraced
in the first trip, which affords an op-
portunity for wide advertisement Of
eur resources, and should, by all means,
be utilized to the fullest extent.

Enjoying Camp Life.

Edgar L. Morrell. Alfred L. Tussey,
Harry c. Zehrung, Albert Watkins. Earl
A. McCreery and Charles B. Gregory, Of
the Nebraska S>ate University, at Lin
coin, arrived in the city several days
ago. fully equipped with everything
necessary to the enjoyment of camp life
in the Hills. They are as jolly set of
boys as ever visited the region, and are
enjoying their summer outing to the
full. Their tent Is now pitched in 3
delightful park upon the outskirts of the
city where they cook, eat and sleep ad
libitem. Their daily peregrinations
extend to the apex of the loftiest peaks
Of the adjacent mountains, and to Syl-
van lake. which is their chief point Of
attraction. They will tarry in the Hills
until fall, when they will return to their
homes and studies with renewed vigor
and pleasing recollections Of the Black
Hills region and its genial and sffable
people.
