The supreme court Of the United
States, says Washington dispatch, may
ultimately be called upon to declare
concerning the validity of the divorces
that have been ground out by the judi
cial mills in the Dakotas and Oklahoma,
and should that august tribunal decide
that the divorces heretofore issued from
the mills in question are Invalid and OF
no legal effect, there will be such an ag.
gregation OF domestic shaking up as
probably no country in the world has
ever witnessed. Women who now re-
gard themselves as wives will realize
that they have been living for greater
or lesser period under conditions not
sanctioned By the law; husbands will
find themselves in the same predica
ment, while the number of children
who will thus be branded with the
stamp of illegitimacy cannot be esti-
mated. The decision of Justice Russell
of the United States supreme court in
the now famous MCGOWAN case, and in
which he holds that neither the wife
nor husband can acquire temporary
residence in foreign state for the pur.
pose of securing divorce has, in the
opinion of eminent lawyers, laid the
groundwork for the overthrow Of the
entire take divorce system. The case is
now pending in the New York court OF
appeals, but whatever may be the
decisions there. it has been definitely
arranged that the matter shall be car.
ried up to the United States supreme
court, for definite and final adudica.
tion Of the questions involved. To this
end it is stated that FIVE husbands who
have been victims Of OAK ota DEGREES
haye subscribed $4,000 each to fund
for taking the appeal to the supreme
court. OF the combine two reside in
New York. one in Boston, one in Phila-
delphia and one in Chicago.

There is real comfort in the thought
that the rule of Grover. the arrogant, is
rapidly waning, and that In nineteen
brief days he will be succeeded by a
man imbued with patriotic sentiments,
alive to the wants and requirements OF
the nation, familiar with every phase
and feature Of our governmental Affairs,
eminentiy capable of wise aud behef-
cent rule, and the man wisely chosen
by the people for this high and i'm
portant charge. The administration oi
Grover has been marked by many grave
and unfortunate mistakes in the various
policies adopted. resulting in bringing
upon the masses untold destitution and
misery. and it is devoutly hoped, and
there is good reason to expect that there
will be radical change for the better
when the wiser governmental policies
advocated by the new administration
are adopted Viewing the situation
from the standpoint Of reason. the out
look for a marked improvement in the
times cannot appear otherwise than
most encouraging for all sections as a
result of the pending change. in the
contemplation Of which much comfort
and consolation is afforded. In the
margin of the dark cloud which has
hung for so long over the destinies OF
the nation, silver lining is now APP
parent, which there is ample reason to
believe will continue to broaden and
expand until the last vestige of the dire
cloud will be dispelled, and the broad
armament Of hope will be sufuscd with
the radiant sunlight of prosperity.
While the prospects for national pros
perity are obviously bright, the outlook
for enhanced prosperity in the Black
Hills are especially brilliant. The in
Vulnerable late discoveries of mineral,
notably gold, in every section Of the
region have gained wide publicity, and
promise to result in an influx Of capital
for the development Of these rich re

build up our wonderful "one hundred
miles square" to degree that will sur
pass all other sections Of corresponding
area, in the magnitude of its producing
capacity. 1t is gratifying to know that
the capitalists Of the east, and even
in Europe are being attracted by our
recent marvellous mineral discoveries,
and that there is every assurance that
their agents, in large numbers, will visit
the Hills in the early spring, with a
view to extensive investment. This
should be a time for general rejoicing
throughout the Black Hills, as at no
time in the history Of the region have
the prospects for rapid progress and ad
vancement been 80 fattering as they
are at this writing. There is an ex-
ceptional good time coming, and it is
almost here. Cheer up.

Bryan's Book.

William ]. Bryan's book has just been
received in Omaha, says the Bee. The
authors portrait in silver appearing on
the front cover is beyond all doubt a
very appropriate feature, but the claim
made upon the title page that it is "A
Story of the Campaign of 1896" will
need qualifying. After glancing through
its six hundred odd pages. gazing upon
its score or more handsome full. page
photogravure portraits of principally
silver celebrities, admiring its excellent
typography and fine quality of paper,
and being hoated along pages npon
pages of rhetoric and platitudes. until
the last page is turned there is nothing
that could be construed as "a story of
the campaign of,s9e." The.e are hosts
of silver speeches and silver platforms
and silver letters and other fragmentary
silver data; but there is no broad view
showing all sides of the campaign, and
no life is injected into the dry bones Of
loosely jointed data. Instead of q his
tory Of the campaign it is only collab
oration of William j. Bryan's speeches
interspersed with splendid portraits of
the leaders of the cause Of silver. The
book will be valued entirely for the
speeches snd the portraits, and the fact
il contains O record of so much that
transpired on the silver side Of the
recent campaign.
