PRESIDENT ALDERMAN'S INAUG
URATION.

1t is only once every twenty years on
an average that q president of the Uni
yersity is inaugurated. This fact justifes
us in surrendering much space to-day to
the eloquent inaugural address of the
new president, the happy and delightful
short speech of DR.. Kemp P. Battle, and
an account of the exercises that marked
the notable day.
The only hope for the University to en-
joy the love and confidence of the people
is to be in reality the head of the public
school system, not sitting up in solemn
dignity and claiming leadership because
it is embodied in the Constitution and
can show long line of illustrious grad
yates, but asserting leadership III the
only method of leadership recognized in
this age: BY being more abundant" in
its sacrifices and services for education of
allthe children.
1t is happy omen that the new pres
ident comes to his position from service
in the public schools. He knows their
needs. and he knows that unless they are
strengthened, their term heightened,
and they are brought within the reach
of all the children, the University can
not itself become the great agency for
the uplifting of the State for which it
was founded, and the people of the State
will not be fitted to fight successfully
the industrial and intellectual battles that
confront them.

HxNRY M1LLER's LEGISLATURE

Tho Judiciary committee of the House
has given ont officially that certain legisla-
tiap affecting railroads will not be eonsid-
erred by the committee until F'ep. llUh'
unless permission is given by Mr.. Henry
Miller, private secretary of COL a. d.
Andrews. yice-president OF the Southern
Railway.
The best evidence of the ease Win
which it is expected to manipulate TINS
Legislature is seen from the fact that
Col Andrews surrenders for the time
his place as dictator to @ subordinate
Whether this delegation of authority ends
on February 11th, or whether 1t Is
ninety-nine year lease, the f. t. Attor-
news will be called upon TO decide. Ihat
high tribunal will meet at an early date,
Judging by the individual members who
are appearing.
Mr.. Miller is to be congratulated upon
his elevation to the roll of committee
manipulation. He is an exceedingly pop
ular and agreeable young man, and the
success he has already attained gives
nromise that the mantle of Col. Andrews
has fallen upon worthy shoulders.
At any rate the eleventh of February
is the first time when the people will be
permitted to know what Mr.. Miller has
in store for them.

COL. SKINNER GETTING FUNNY

Mr.. Harry Skinner is our most humor-
Gus public man; more humorous when
he tries to be serious. He caused much
merriment In the House Of Representa-
tives on the day of Pritchards election,
by declaring that if the Republicans did
not give the people free coinage Of silver,
Mr.. Pritchard would be found in 1900
walking out of the Republican National
convention as Mr.. Teller did in 1896.
This was very funny because Mr.. Pritch-
ard. whose Republicanism is so thick,
and whose convictions are so shifty that
he couldn't be made to leave the party,
laughed outright
And now in Washington the Col. has
perpetrated another great joke. Re
ferring to his efforts to elect Pritchard
to the Senate over a strong free silver
PopuIist, Col Skinner said:
Il have such faith in the charac-
ter of William j. Bryan / would be
willing for him to pass judgment upon
our action, after being fully possess
ed of all the facts and surrounding
conditions and relations bearing upon
the present and future"
Here is richness. A man, calling him
self a Populist, spends month working
in partnership with Mark Hanna to elect
that boodler's choice to the United States
Senate, and then has the effrontery to
say that he would be willing for that
prince Of silver leaders, who never COM
promised with goldbugs, or fellowshipped
with straddlers, to pass judgment" upon
the action of those who, processing to
favor silver, elected to the United States
Senate man who can change his opin-
ions on the money question to suit any
party or personal emergency.

the swarm, with several old big-bellied
horse-hies on his neck, shoulder, or other
spots, and when they get stuffed with the
blood Of patronage, they will drop off
not before. 1t was n pitiful sight. Why
don't men work for their living, instead
of thus begging aims?

The secret of Senator Pettigrew'
sudden illness in the senate the other
day lies in the fact that the senator got
very angry because Senator Pratt of

had just received petition from his
constituency in Fall River county, ask
ing him to have incorporated in the

Fuller's Earth to protect the newly dis
covered mineral of that section. Petit

measures are effected, he was defending

A VI onderful Country.

Under the above caption the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader says: There is no
question that the Black Hills is on the
eve Of great development. The vast
discoveries of rich ore during the winter
have covered the hills with prospectors
who are rapidly uncovering veins of the
greatest richness. Capital is becoming
interested and is developing the prop
critics. 1t has long been proYerb that
the Hills form the richest hundred
miles square in the world. Their wealth
has been largely latent hitherto but now
it appears that it is to come on the
market, a few years ago Homestake was
the only mine known in the region, but
now il is entirely oyershadowed and
newer and richer mines are continually
coming to public attention. The output
Of gold has been climbing rapidly. New
processes have brought upon paying
basis ores unavoidable in earlier times.
Veins of enormous value have been
discovered in regions where the old
prospectors declared no pay ore could
be found. The northern Hills is rapid
ly settling with mining camps the
southern Hills is producing leads of
greater or equal value. The camps are
booming. The people are confdeut.
The public is interested. The outlook
could not be brighter. In few years
the Hills will be one Of the most thickly
settled and most prosperous sections Of
the state, the portion which will spread
the name of South Dakota over the
earth, the portion which will attract
thousands upon thousands of settlers
and millions of capital. The future ap-
pears TO have great prosperity in store
! for those who have broken the rocks
! and gone into what was few years ago
but barren wilderness infested with
Indians and Wild animals. The Argus
! Leader rejoices at these assuring signs.
II delights at the progress and hope
which distinguish the Hills country at
the present time. 1t believes the pre-.
dictions of those who are pushing it
onward 1t believes that in few years
Colorado and other mining countries
will be eclipsed by the little dark
wooded country, which, while hitherto
attracting less attention, has gone on
developing the leads, and preparing for
the brilliant future which is coming
The people of South Dakota may well
fix their minds on the Black Hills,
where there is developing an empire
which will shortly astonish the world.

Ever since its organization in 1887,
the National Republican League Of the
United States has kept its Office open
and it's organizing and educating forces
at work despite a hostile national ad-
ministration on the one hand and a
money panic on the other. 1t has been
the only political organization repre-.
senting republican policies that has re.
fused to shut up shop" The League
Is optomistic and is now enjoying the
fruits of victory won by thrift over
shiftlessness. honesty over dishonesty.
and intelligence over ignorance. In
the great campaign Of 1896 the League
played no small part. Subordinating
itself to the republican national COM
mittee and quietly hewing TO the line,
it was instrumental in turning the
tide in several states. In the struggle
for Office the League takes no part. 1t

lican party. 1t backs no man for place.
1t is not breeder Of discord, neither
does it shelter the disappointed seeker

vention will be held in the City OF

A Wyoming Earthquake.

About month or six weeks ago. says
the Casper Derrick, our citizens will re-
call the sensation Of an earthquake
shock, and many in town and surround
ing vicinity felt the shock and had their
dishes and loose things in the house TO
rattle in suggestive manner. In Bates
Park the shock was much more plainly
felt. Its effect and the seat ofthe earth 8
disturbance has been located.
While riding last week in search of
range horses Mr. Charlie Richards Of
Bates Park made the discovery. He
was at the head Of Bolton creek on a
bench Of Laramie Plains, two miles west
Of Horse Buttes. and came onto small
cracks in the ground that grew larger
ard showed great depth. His attention
being attracted at the strange and inter-
ssting sight he dismounted and investi-
gated. He dropped pebbles in the
crevices and listened attentiyely 70 the
sound as the stones bounded from side
to side, down, down, until they finally
died away in the hollow depth. He
went farther and found the cracks grew
to three feet across and he could discern
no bottom. He then came onto the
main or principal creek, about forty
feet across, and Mr.. Richards crawled
cautiously up and looked into the awful
hollow. A further investigation show
ed space Of about two acres that had
sunk about forty feet with perpendicular
walls. The sight ID worth anybody s
visit, says Mr.. Richards, and any ore
passing near should nut miss the sight.
