Forest Reserve Boundary.

Senator Pettigrew called on Secretary
Bliss to-day regarding proposed changes
in the boundaries of the Black Hills
forest reservation in South Dakota, says
Washington special of the 10Th inst.
He submitted recommendation for in
clusion in the reserve of some small
tracts, partly in Wyoming, and the ex-
clusion of other tracts along the south
ern line of the present reserve. The
data submitted by Pettigrew was sent
to the land Office at once, and Acting

days. The secretary will then present
a proclamation providing for changes
in the boundaries of the Black Hills re-
serve to the president in very short

The congress of white and colored
Americans, met at the exposition
grounds at Omaha last week. They
met to discuss the Race Question:" or
what is the proper position Of the
colored man before the world" The
result of the speeches on one side, were
to the effect that the Black man should
emigrate or take up the pick and shovel.
This was answered by w. S. Howell of
Kansas City, who said that this was the
black mans own country, and if he
could not succeed here, he could not
succeed anywhere, and it was plain to
see that the problem was fast solving
itself. The sentiment was now almost
universal, BLACK man go to congress if
you can" There were speeches and
music galore, and the exercises closed
with the song, The boys who wore the
blue are turning gray"

1t is reported that the navy depart
ment will ask congress to authorize the
construction Of at least three battle ships
which shall be from 10000 to $4,000 tons
displacement with a speed of at least
10 knots an hour These ships armed
and armored in proportion will make
the most formidable warships in the
world. They will also recommend the
building of three first class cruisers
which shall be superior to any now
aho at. In addition to these they will
ask for several cruisers of ordinary ton
age but ofsuperior construction. With a
navy re-enforced by the addition of the
naval ships asked for, we might then
say our navy is superior to ally in the
world, from the fact that he "who
builds last builds best"

A good story is being told ofhow Gov.
Lee allowed a slip of memory to place
him in an amusing situation on the as
sessment board. When the question OF
raising railroad rates was up it was stat
cd that in case raise was decided upon
it would be necessary under the statutes
to give the officers Of the company not
ice and allow them to appear and pre-
sent their side Of the matter. This the
governor promptly declared to be special
legislation, and in favor Of corporations
as well as unconstitutional, when some
one asked when this special legislation
was passed. 1t was learned that it was
an act Of the last session Of the legisla-
ture, and approved by the governor
himself on March 10, 1897.

Mining Items.

The cyanide plant at Spearfsh, which
is being built by w. E. Sharpe & Co., is
expected to commence operations in
about two weeks.
Work on the Lizzie group of gold
claims, two miles east Of this place, was
suspended last Saturday, pending the
action of meeting Of the stockhold ers
of the company, which was to have
been held at LeMars, Iowa, last Mon
day. The shaft is now down 100 feet
from the end Of the tunnel, or about 100
feet from the surface. We are informed
that the ore taken from the bottom of
the shaft is of very encouraging char.
acter, and that assays recently made
gave return of s44.20 per ton.
How many of the Tribune readers
know that the Homsstake Mining Co.'S
mills have 400 stamps in operation. The
Highland Mining Co.'S 140. That each
stamp crushes about 4 tons of ore every
twenty-four hours. That from June l,
1897, to June /, 1898, the bullion account
is credited with So, 500, ,l7o20, the balance
of receipts from the machine shops
foundry, and blacksmith shop bringing
the total up to S2,652, 1913. That there
was during that time the sum of $500 ,00C
paid out in diyidends, and all of the bal
ance except $2S7 ,424 96 left in the treas.
ury, was paid out for labor and general
expenses. That there are about 1900
men on the pay roll Of the Homestake
and associate mining companies.-Lead

WHAT PRITCHARDlSM AND RUsSELLISz
BRINGS.

The object lesson of the negro, re-
Gently appointed postmaster at Fail
Bluff. who showed malice and sullenness
because he was not permitted to eat at
the table with white men while serv-
ing on a jury in. Columbus county, will
show the Importance of the white men
controlling affairs in the South.
The white men of the South-(we
meane white men who believe in the SUI
pcri6lfty of their race and not those who
prefer political association with negroes)
Ought to see that negroes of the Len
non type will produce untold trouble in
the South by their demands for social
eoRsAity. The elevation to such posi-
lions as postmasters, magistrates and
even higher Offices is responsible for the
demand to eat at the table with white
men, They would not stop at that. The
white men who affiHates with them in
politics, whether Populist, Republican
or sGoldite, is sowing seeds which will
grow a big crop of evils, including the
horror of miscegenation.
-
The only hope for peace and happiness
for both races in the South is in COM
plete separation in the churches and
in the schools, and i'm the control of pub
lie offices by the best class of white men.
The honest negro has nothing to fear in
such government 1t gives him good
government, education, the control OF
the schools of his race, and a fair chance
in industrial pursuits; Prftchardism and
Russellism mean the elevation, as a
rule of the worst negroes, such men as
the Fair Buff postmaster who could
he satisfied with nothing short of social
equality. Continued rule by this class
and their allies means still more exhi-
billions of this kind and condition
fraught with danger to the best men OF
both races. The best negroes do not
approve such actions, but it is the only
race in the world where the ignorant
and the vicious dominate the more intel
lgent and virtuous.
The negro should be guaranteed all
his rights and assured of protection in
every way, but the hope of the South
lies in the rule of the white men.

THEY STOOD FIRM.

Mr.. John III. Pearson. the Democratic
every inch a man. In the face OF
threats and pleadings from sources that
were powerful, he had not only the
courage to stand by his convictions, but
10 give the reasons for the faith that
was i'm him. As member of the Leg
islature he stood like a manly man for
the measures he advocated in the cam
paign, and as Railroad Commissioner
he stood quite as firm. The figures and
facts he sought to have the Commission
adopt will be ample proof of the wisdom
OF his course. They will be read by
the people and preserved, for they con-
tain full REPUTATION of the pleadings
against reduction made by the railroad
attorneys.
Mr. Caldwell, the Populist member of
the Board, also stood with Mr.. Pearson
in refusing to be driven from the posi-
ton he assumed when the rates were
reduced. The refusal of Mr.. Caldwell
to be dictated to by the Governor shows
that when he accepted the place he did
not regard himself as puppet of the
Governor.
This action by these two Commission
ers, whatever may be the final outcome,
shows that as between justice and dick
ers. they have chosen the better part
Although there has been much talk OF
standing by the people, the last Legisla.
ture demonstrated the fact that the
corporations dominated, and, therefore
the spectacle, as it has come to be, of Il
servant of the people living up to his
professions is one that cannot be justly
passed without emphasis and approval
