The method OF doing the work is
peculiar TO those not acquainted, and
consists of drilling hole through the

reaching the rock q pipe about eight
feet in length and five inches in diane.
ter is run to the top of the rock. The
drill is then run through the pipe and
@ hole drilled in the top of tho rock.
The drill is withdrawn and long pole
inserted, together with the dynamite
cartridges, to which is attached the

1t is expected that diver will arrive
in few days to examine as far as pos
sible the work done. Dredging will

,cuted as rapidly as possible.

will be plenty Of time left for war

Amid the general anxiety which
has been felt throughout the nation
d uring the past three weeks in re-
gard to the Spanish-C Cuban situation,
the presidents firm, dignifed and
prudent urse has met with popular
approval, an approval which has
been re-echoed throughout the civil
ized world. he situation has been
an extremely c%ritieaI and trying me-,
but the prudence and irmness with
which the attitude of the president
and his associates has been charac-
terized brought the country and the
administration through the De Lone
incident with highest honors and
complete disayowal BY Spain ; and
i n the more delicate and difficult
condition resulting from the Maine
disaster and the popular excitement
which followed, the course Of the
president has been eqnally wise and
is generally accepted as worthy of
equal confidence. No feature Of
President McKinley's administration
has been fraught with such difficult
ties as the Cuban question, even
from the very beginning. yet in
every step he has not only proven
equal to the emergency, but his
course and that of his associates has
met with a popular approval so cor
dial as to discredit the attacks which
have been made by a few people
lacking in Judgment or not familiar
with tie details Of the situation by
which his course was determined.
Whatever complications or whatever
di ficulties may be presented in the
final solution Of the grave problem
growing out of the Cuban and Span
ish troubles, the success of the
president thus far and the popular
a approval which has been given his
course Justify and even require that
t hose who cannot be as familiar with
the details as lie and his associates
are. leave the details of that work in
their hands, and free them from
every embarrassment of hostile crit
icism or Indictment of public passion.

What We Can Do.
Public Opinion.

Iowa and Minnesota have both
passed through such experiences as
have characterized the farming OPP
eratiops in South Dakota. The far
mers of these states as a rule are
well to do. Most OF them have
money in the bank, or out at inter
est. They have this money because
they quit raising SO much grain and
devoted a part of their attention to
dairying and stock-raising. What
the farmers Of Iowa and Minnesota
have done, the farmers Of South
Dakota can do.

The financial world has been a
little puzzled as to the cause of the
small imports of gold, in view of the
extremely large expectations of
mere handise which are far in excess
of the imports of foreign merchan-
disc products. The discrepancy
between trade balances and gold
imports is, it is believed, accounted
for by a return from abroad of Am
erican securities for cancellation, BY
reason of the anxiety caused in the
minds Of foreign investors BY the
recent activity Of the silver advo-
Gates.

Excitement over the Maine blow
mp has subsidized to some extent
throughout the country. The court
Of inquiry has been in session for
ter days now, and will probably not
be able to report before the first of
April, and the people have made up
their minds to endure the suspense.
The accident theory loses ground
daily, and the evidhnee so far seems
to demonstrate the fact that the
court can never attribute the catas-
trophea to this cause. The belief is
general that the board is moving
deliberately in order to give the
government time in which to prepare
for an emergency.
