f, j. G. Keith a pioneer of Custer, later
of Deadwood, and at present located
in Colorado, is soon to return to Dead
wood to remain. His experience in
Colorado has convinced him that the
Black Hills is the more desirable for
the mining prospector and investor.
Keith is justly given n place near the
head of the list of Black Hills mining
rustlers, and he may now, having deci.
ded to plant his permanent stakep here,
be safely set down among the future
millionaires of the richest hundred
miles square.

Custer Mention.

G. A. Frazer and Frank Lake return
cd Sunday evening from a five days
trip in the Hills. Their objective point
was Custer and the Pioneers picnic.
They state that the newspapers have
not given the number in attendance
high enough, there being fully 1000
people on the grounds. Custer was in
her Sunday attire, so to speak, the
streets cleaned and lined with evergreen
trees, and everything fixed up as pretty
as a pink.
They travelled about on their wheels q
good deal and were surprised to find so
much work being done. Mr.. Frazer
said he had supposed, like many others,
that a good deal Of the development
work the newspapers talked about was
being done on paper, but he found there
was much moro being done than the
papers msntioned.-Rapid Journal.

All preliminary arrangements have
been practically completed for the hold
ing of the next annual assembly of the
Black Hills C~hautauqua at DeadwooJ
from July 2S to August 6 inclusive.
The Eolian quartette of Ottumwa,
Iowa, has been secured, says the Pho
neer, and there will be other musical
talent present, and the attendance of
some of the best elocutionary artists is
expected, so that the evenings will be
given up to musical and elocutionary
entertainments. 1t is expected that the
lecture course will be a most entertain
ing and instructive feature. Only one
definite engagement has been made,
but others are being negotiated with
every hope of success. Gen. Green b.
Raum will deliver a lecture on Gold,
Protection and Reciprocity" He will
not make it a political speech, but will
handle the subjects purely in their re-
lation to political economy. AS the
converse Of Gen. Raum's lecture, Hon
w. ]. Bryan of Omaha is expected tc
lecture on silver. Gen. Raum vii
probably deliver another lecture or
some phase of literature. Senator
Thurston Of Nebraska, Hon. j. 2
Dolliver of Fort Dodge, Ia, DR.. Lasley
of Lincoln, and other lecturers of tina
class are expected. DR.. Hancher feel
sure that the Chautauqua will be largely
attended and successfully managed.

The Rapid City Journal says: G. L
Lewis is in receipt Of a letter from
Henry Schenk, who is now in British
Columbia, in which the gentleman says
he met Robert Flormann in Rossland
and he thinks he is possessed of a mine
from which he will eventually secure q
fortune. Mr.. Schenk says, however, on
the whole he is not favorably impressed
with that country and will probably be
back hero in the fall.

INTERVENTION IN cUDa.

1t is now asserted that President
Cleveland has determined to Interfere
in the Cuban matter If the rebellion be
not crushed by the first of the year.
Heretofore the president has main
tanned there was no ground for inter-
ference; that the only duty of this
government was to enforce the neu-
trality laws and leave the Spaniards
and Cubans to fight it out alone.
There can be no question about the
/ legal correctness of the presidents po-
sition; but the rule that he has adj
hered to will be just as binding on the
first of next year as it was on the first
of this.
The contention of those who have
desired the United States to intervene
is that the great republic should be
ready to assist people struggling for
freedom. 1t has further been held
that humanitarian considerations
should impel our government to throw
the weight of its influence, if not its
active support, on the side of the Gu
bans. Those demanding Intervention
have taken the ground that consider
atoms of justice and humanity trans
cend mere rules of law and interna-
tional comfy, and that free people
should not permit their hands to be
tied by technicalities when their as
sistance is needed in a worthy struggle
for freedom and humanity.
How far government may properly
yield to the sympathetic demands OF
its people is a mooted question. Inter-
national law is as binding as any other
and nothing but the right of revolution
can take precedence over it. There is
no doubt that majority of the Ameri
can people desire their government to
interfere, and will rejoice if it does 50.
A great many will think that action
shculd have been sooner taken, since
the conditions calling for it have ex-
listed almost from the beginning of the
war; but thoughtful people will bear
the fact in mind that active interview
ton might be an act of revolt against
the law of nations, and that no adj
ministration would be warranted in
taking such a step until the progress
of events had clearly established the
necessity for action of that character.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-18

sonified the issues that were presented
When the Democratic convention met
this year, the leaders had no Thought
that Bryan would be the nominee; but
when the hour struck the convention
saw that he was the natural leader in
such campaign as was proposed and
it turned to him in a whirlwind Of en-
thusiasm.
We know how Lincoln was hated in
the south. the seat of the power that
was menaced by his candidacy; he was
misrepresented and maligned in sec
tions that protested to be opposed to
the slave system. but those who were
actuated by love of justice and right
proved to be in majority and he was
triumphantly elected.
Mr.. Bryan is going through very
similar experience with the money
power; but may we not believe that
justice and truth are TO prevail, that
again majority Of the people, gov
erned by high motives and refusing
to be moved by the calumnious appeals
of INSCRIPTIONS self-interest, will align
themselves on the side of this man
who has been raised up out of the west
to lead new crusade in the name of
human rights?

INVOCATION TO THE MONEY POWER

The bankers of Illinois held a con-
vention at Springfield last week and
discussed those questions usually dis
cussed at such gatherings. The ses-
sions were opened with prayer, a very
proper custom The chaplain was the
Rev. DR.. John T. Davies, pastor of the
First Congregational church. Last
Tuesday his invocation was as. fol-
lows:
There is too much of ignorance pre-
vailing; there are too many dema-
gogues who try to prejudice the people
against the men who represent this
important institution upon the banks
among us-demagogues who try 20
make the people believe that these
men are the natural enemies of man
kind, selfish, sordid, greedy, fraudu-
lent and nefarious. Thank God. these
accusations are not true; and o Lord,
give unto our people, the voters of our
country, the wisdom to behold facts
as they stand in the eyes of God.
But a generation ago and the greedy
serpent of secession did its sad work
among US, splitting the country into
a north and a south at the point of
the sword; and now the times again
seem ominous; the greedy serpent still
lives in another form, and seemingly
would break the country into halves
into an east and q west. God forbid it.!
Avert, o Lord, such a dire calamity
Pastor Davies was not supplicating
the throne of grace, but the throne of
the money power. That his hearers
were disguised, there is little doubt
His invocation was such plain bid for
the good will of the assembled bankers
that even blind man could not have
failed to have seen it. Davies prayer
was nothing but cant, and he proved
himself very prince of demagogues.
Such prayers, if prayers they be- bring
ministers of the gospel into disrepute.
The muddled condition of Davies
brain is seen in his talk about ''the
greedy serpent of secession" splitting
the country into north and a south
at the point of a sword. That isn't
even metaphor; it is the maudlin talk
of one ambitious of notoriety.
