Rapid City's Credit Good.

The city council held a session
Tuesday evening, allowed several
bills and did some other routine
work. The resignation OF VIM.
Napier as night police was accepted
and Joseph LaMear was appointed
to fill the vacancy.
The principal object Of the meet.
ing. however was the opening Of
sealed bids for the SOL 900 refund
ing water bonds. Two sealed bids
were presented and if anyone thinks
Rapid City's credit has been wreck
ed these bids ought to dispel the
idea. Claud Estarbrook & Co.,
CINCINNATI, bid $5l,275 and r. V.
Montague & Co., Kansas City, Of.
fered sol ,40l for the issue-bott
bids offering a healthy premium,
The original bonds will be called in
and Montague & Co., will probably
get the reminding bonds.

He Tells Of Deadwood's Invitation
and How They Came 10

Indcr date Of September %,
Corpal +. p. McMahon Of Co. NJ,
now with the First South Dakota
regiment at San Francisco, writes
as follows:
Il see by THE UNION that some
of the Rapid City people feel sore
about us going to Deadwood and |
thought would write you and
throw some light on the situa-
ton. assure you that Co. NJ did
not accept Deadwood's invitation
with the intention of sighting
Rapid City. The way it came up we
could hardly avoid accepting
DcadwoOls invitation as we had no
grounds for refusing. We had not
heard from Rapid City to know
what the people there were doing.
or whether they were doing any
thing or not. We waited two DAYS,
| think, before we answered Dead
wool, and received no word from
Rapid City until the day after we
had accepted. AS her invitation
was extended to all three of the
Hills companies the majority Thought
that the local Hills towns knew all
about Dcadwood's plan to entertain
II, and could offer no objection to
it. We thought, also, that this
might be the last time the three
companies would be together in a
body and as Deadwood was a neu-
trail town we could have a good
time. But | assure you we all APP

people propose doing for US. We

We Still do Some Business,

The UNION got onto some figures
a few days ago that tells the story
as to whether Rapid City is a good
business point or no.. While Sep
TENDER is by no mea the banner
business month Of the year, yet dur
ing the past month there was
unloaded at the depot for this city
upwards of 100000 pounds of
freight. The receipts for freight
received for Rapid City business
houses aggregate between $4,000
and $4,000 per month. Thcs.
figures are very creditable to tli>
city and would indicate that some
few goods are still beng disposed Of
at this point. They show Il decided
increase owe last year and the yeal
before, which means that more
goods are being sold than hereto
fore and tn t i" spite o fall obstacles
Rapid City is gradually going ahead,
She is a pretty good town to tie to,
after all.

TRUSTS AND POLITICS.

The Only Hope For the People Lies
In Democratic Success.
1t is a we'll established fact that Re
publican administrations have been
practically controlled heretofore by the
beneficiaries of a high tariff. Millions
Of money are spent at each session OF
congress in the work Of maintaining or
increasing tariff duties which are in
tended to benefit the few at the eX-
pense of the many, and it will continue
to be so. Let a proposition come De-
fore the next congress to reduce or
abolish duties on any American manu-
features, and Washington will be
crowded with the paid lobbyists or
the protected industries. as well as
with the owners and managers Of those
industries. Enterprises which control
not only millions but billions Of dol
lars will be represented in the halls Of
legislation. each scltishly working for
it's own interests, but also working
for the unfolding Of the entire per-
nicious system.
The protective tariff system is one Of
the main pillars upon which the Re
publican party rests. 1t is both the

OIL TRADE FALLING OFF.
Decline of 22,ooo, 900 Gallons In Ex-
ports For Three Months.

Philadelphia, May s.-The exports
from this city of petroleum TO foreign
ports for the first three months of this
year shows a falling off of p. 600, 600 gal
Ions in the shipments for a correspond
ing period last year. This fact coupled
with the shipments for 1898, which
showed a falling off of over 80. GOO. 900
compared with 1897 has caused some
alarm in shipping circles and expression
is given to the belief that Borean oil
is being brought into direct competi-
ton in the far east with the products
of the domestic market The statement
is made among oil men that until 1898
when the Borean oil fields were extern
sively developed the export trade of this
city for over quarter of a century
showed rapid gains. Comment is also
made upon the fact that a large num-
Der of tank steamers have been with
drawn from this port and entered into
the BOrean trade.
