Llthograph stone.

| The Black Hills Porcelain Clay and
Marble company is about TO ship car
load Of lithograph stone to Chicago from
their quarry located fourteen miles west
from Custer. 1t is the first lithograph
stone eyer quarried in the United States
for commercial purposes, and is consid-
cred an extraordinary event, says the
| Pioneer-Times. The United States con
sumes an enormous quantity Of the
stone in the course of year, and the
demand is constantly increasing. Here
tofore it has been entirely supplied from
abroad, Bavaria being perhaps the great
est producer, and the Bavarian stone
being regarded as the best to be obtain
ed in the world. Not only is the de-
mand for the stone growing yearly, but
there is also growing demand for large
slabs, the larger the dimensions the more
valuable the stone. There are enormous
quantities of the stone in the southern
Black Hills, and it is possible to quarry
slabs SO inches square. This stone has
been thoroughly tested by the leading
lithogtaphing establishments of the
country, and has been pronounced
equal to the finest imported article.
Lithographing establishments in Chi
cago have in fact expressed preference
for this stone, pronouncing it in some
respects superior to the Bavarian. The
quarries of Custer county have been
open only short time, and it remains
to be seen how the deposits hold out.
If there is sufficient supply Of the
commercial article, in other words, if
the ledges continue unbroken so that it
is possible to remove the large slabs 80
much sought after by photographers of
the country, it will result in the making
of big industry in the Southern Hillss

Hon. lSidOr Rayner.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
1t is safe to say that every friend
OF decency and justice has had
Rayner, attorney general of Mary
land, within the past few weeks at
least. This gentleman has. in his
capacity as counsel for Admiral
Schley, exhibited SO many brilliant
professional qualities, we do not
need at this late day to compliment
him on that score. The whole
country has watched his course with
vigilant solicitude. The whole
country now pays tribute to his high
ability and his magnificent devo-
ton.
The American people, however,,
will be glad to hear that Mr.. Ray
ner has refused to accept one single
cent of rccompense for the faithful
and brilliant services he has rem
dered. They will be glad for more
than one reason. 1t IS always a
fine thing to subordinate on's purely
personal interests to chivalrous
sentiment; but what splendid signi-
ficance attaches to this incident
from another point OF vlew-that
of the hold which Schley has evil
IDENTIFY established upon the imagi-
nation, the noble impulses, and the
deep feeling of honorable men!
Mr.. Rayner's admirable generosity
speaks for itself. Nothing more
beautiful and excellent was ever
done. In this -sordid age Of give
and take, and by the established
standard of payment with usury for
all service, Mr.. Rayner's renuncia-
ton shines like a diamond IN the
gutter. But the episode is even
more momentous, for it leads US to
examine into Mr.. Rayner's inspira-
ton, and it suggests to US the
thought that ne, like nine tenths of
the American people, regard Schley
as the victim of an infamous and
cruel persecution.
Mr.. Rayner will receive the plau-
dts of the whole country, and he
deserves them all. The chances
are, however, that he has acted
without tn ought of thanks or cele
bration.

organize the parish fair association,

Who have interested them selves in
this matter and urging them to con-
tinue their efforts in this movement
which has for Its object the develop
ment of this section. Mr.. Lee is
an enthusiastic advocate of parish
fairs aud will do all in his
power to help the local association.
He has been actively interested IN
similar movements in the. northern
PARTON of the State and he knows
how much they are calculated to
develop the resources of a country.
The thing is new in this section,
but il is IN no wise an experiment
1t has been tried in all States of the
Union and the results have the
most encouraging in every instance.
The success achieved by DR.. Mayer
at Scott shows what can he accom-
plished in this parish if the move
ment receives the support it is en-
titled to.
The committee on organization
will meet in this town next Monday,
when the movement will take de
finite shape. The committee is
called together TO perfect a perman-
ent organization.
This is pre-emiently an agricul-
tural parish and peculiarly adapted
to diversified farming. We do not

MR.. CABLES Plan.

George w. Gable, who has put
his great talents to the vile use of
defaming the South, is the latest
doctor to prescribe a remedy for
the negrn question. Cable wants
to ''citify" the negroes, or to be
more explicit, his plan is to herd
them in the towns, where they are
to receive proper spiritual and
educational training. Every one
who knows anything about the
negro will see the folly of Cables
plan. The negro is infinitely bet,
ter off on the farms and plantations,
where h. has employment through
out the year. In the town he is
the easy victim nf the innate vices
of the African. There he spends
his time In the grogshops and soon
learns to live without working.
Formerly he developed into poll
teal leader; now he joins the
"basket brigadeoo and becomes
s.gentleman of leisure. OF course,
there are exceptions, but it is
fact tina, IN the large majority of
cases the town demoralizes the
negro and units for work.
In offering SO unwise solution
of the race question Mr.. Gable dis
plays objectionable ignorance of
the real conditions in the South.
Had he advised the negroes to
leave the towns to work on the
farms and plantations instead of
telling them to flock to the centers
of population, his advice would
have been that of friend rather
than that of mischief-maker.
What he is pleased to call the
"Colored mans salvatIon" is in re-
atty the coloreG mans damnation.
For some time municipal govern
ments in the South have vainly en-
deavored to find a way to rid the
towns of the large number Of idle
negroes. Legal enactments have,
in most cases, utterly failed to af-
ford any relief, and IN some in
stances violent methods have been
resorted to. Now comes Mr. Cable
who coolly informs an audience,
composed chiefly of Boston negroes,
that IT'S all wrong; that he would
solve the racial question by "citlfy-
ing" the seven million darkies in
the South. We are inclined to
think that if Mr.. Gable tried to
work out his plan he would play
hell generally.

n /UST JUDGE.

David Nation, the unha ppy hus.
band of Carrie Nation. known to
70 me as ''the joint smasher," has
been granted a divorce by Judge
Gillet, of Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
When Carrie first started out with
her Ratchet in the cause of moral
ity and pure water. Dave said moth
ing, but listened to her exploits
with an approving smile. He felt
a pardonable pride in beng the
make the whole world gasp in won
der at her marvellous feats. 1t was
no little thing for this modest Kan
sas farmer to be the hubby of such
a warm proposition as Carrie. His
picture ornamented the pictorial
page OF every patent outside from
Maine to California and he heard
the echo of his fame resound over
continent.
But Dave had bargained for more
than he could stand. When Carrie
grew fond of the excitement and
began to serve long sentences in
Jail, Dave was left alone at Medi-
cine Lodge to tussle with the baby's
paregoric and other vexed problems
of domestic economy. Carries
saloon smashing escapades became
monotonous and connubial bliss
soon faded into an iridescent
dream. Dave appealed to the court
to sever the ties that linked him to
wife who was either chasing the
whiskey devil with a Ratchet or re-
cuperating in some county Jail.
Judge Gillet, being a married man,
did not have to look in his law
books to find out that such things
were not conducive TO matrimonial
felicity. He granted the divorce
and freed Dave from bondage
worse than that Of cLattel slavery.

Imperialism is like the measles.
1t spreads with great rap,dity.
There was a time when leaders of
public thought were outspoken in
opposition to the land-grabbing
policy of the government. Even
Mr.. Mckinley called 1t criminal
aggression. Old man Hoar was
won, to shake his CORY locks at the
man on horseback. Some people
were bold enough to refer to the
declaration of independence IN
terms of affectionate reverence.
But since the ratification of the i'm
perialistic policy at the polls, little
or nothing is heard of the opposi-
ton. The average American citi-
zen doesn't seem to know and cares
less what is to be become of the
Philippines. Outside of the fat
government jobs over there and the
opportunity for increased trade
facilities the Philippine question has
dwindled to- very small matter

Il GOOD SIGN.

Our interesting contemporary.
the New Orleans Harlequin, says
some very sensible things in its last
issue concerning the nomination of
a gubernatorial candidate.
The Harlequin commends the
action Of Congressman BrezeaIe in
announcing his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination. 1t says:
1t is the decent and right thing for every
candidate to let the people know his asPira-
tions and what he stands for-his ambitions,
his hopes for the State, his plans, the things
which he thinks he can accomplish If they
repose in him their highest trust.
The Harlequin is right. II is to
be hoped that time is past when
four or five men can dictate the
nomination of State ticket. Con-
ditions which permit such thing
are unwholesome and will inevita
BILE lead to the disruption of any
political party. no matter how
powerful it may be. Methods
which make of nominating con
vention a cold. teelingless thing,
whose sole business is to register
the will of selfish bosses, should not
be tolerated. Such method rem
der impossible contest of ability
and are calculated to keep men of
force and character in the rear.
They are prolific of time-servers and
political nonentities. They crush
out every good impulse in public
man. They are a constant warn
ing to the man with laudable aspir-
ations that unless he has the pull
he need not apply and that ssavish
subserviency is the passport TO
political preferment- They are
standing invitation to the trickster
to ply his trade with impunity.
A political party is always in need
of the infusion of new blood and
fresh energy, but machine methods
make it impossible for it to have
either. An innate aversion to the
political slaughter house will cause
the man of brains and independence
to repress any worthy ambition
which he may have to serve the
people in an official capacity. He
may be strong of intellect, popular
with the people and in every way
fitted to hold office, but the fear
that some occult influence may give
it to hum in the neck at the eleventh
hour will cause him to let politics
alone.
If Congressman Brezeale aspires
to the governorship he has done
well to tell the people about it.
Others who have the same ambition
should do likewise. No man of
character and ability should be
afraid to submit his claims to the
people-to those he would serve.
Let it be known that the next Dem
ocrat nominee must be the choice
of the Democracy, regularly ex-
pressed through the organization of
the party. The candidacy of Mr..
Brezale may seem premature. but
it is healthful sign. 1t shows
that he, at least, believes that the
voters have something TO say about
the nomination of the next Demo-
cratic candidate.
It may not be considered smart
politics, if judged from the Machia-
vellian standard, but it has the
dual merit of frankpess and man.
