Citizens Who Love a Lord.

WashlngtOn Post
 While we are happily exempt from such classification as royalty. nobility and a succession of lower grades such as are features of the social condition of Europe, we are, unfortunately, equipped with too many citizens whose souls hunger for titles and who as dearly love a lord' as any Englishman ever did. And in no part of the world are magnificent titles piled so high on officials of various frater- nal and benevolent societies as among ''the triumphant demooracy" of this re- public. All this goes to show that the atmosphere of a republic Is not fatal to the desire for the baubleR that have com tributed to the pride and happiness of grown-up children in ali lands and all times

Trashy Magazine Stories.

bL. LUuIS OIUUS-DBIIlOCIdC :
 People buy magazines almost as fre- quently and readily as they buy newspa- pers. Advertisers pour. a golden flood into the treasury of every magazine that can sell and any magazine full of fiimsy short stories can sell. As consequence, all the good story writers are being ruineS by prosperity. Scarcely any of them write anything fit for civilized people to read. The magazine has been thoroughly com mercialized. What We ask for now is a magazine which will not permit its con- tributors to write more than one tor two short stories a year, and will pay s10,0O0 apiece for them. Some of the magazines should attempt to preserve literature and not devote all their affections to the soap ad man and the summer resort reading public.

When Parker Talks.
New York Times.

Judge Parker talks little. Possibly he thinks much. There are issues awaiting us a not unreasonable supposition that Judge Parker has taken thought about the actions, the utterances and the incl dents out of which these issues have sprung. When the time comes for him to give expression to the opinions he has formed the Republicans may be a good deal more anxious about him than they were about the third term and the peace and comfort of MT. Cleveland.

CORN PALACE OF 1904.
Effort Will Be Made to Secure sousa's
Band This War.

MITCHELL, s. D., May 13.-Mitchell's corn
palace has been started for the fall of
1904 by the appointment of the committee
to have charge of the affair. l.. O.. Gale,
who has been at the head of the enter
prise for the past fourteen years. is the
president: ID. w. Burright, secretary, and
VIM. NJ. Smith. treasurer. The other
members of the committee are Robert
Burns, 8. H. Scallin, ]. X. Smith and DIR.
r. F. Dundass.
The dates selected are from September
26 to October /. inclusive, the palace to
open on Monday and close the following
Saturday. There will be no Sunday open
Ing of the palace this year, as has been
the case in past years.
1t is designed to make the corn palace
a greater success this year han ever be-
fore, and everything will be conducted on
a more extensive scale. In the way of
musical attraction it is the intention of
the committee to make every effort to
secure Sousa's band. and II the date can
not be arranged to accommodate the great
bandmaster. SCREENINGS Italian band,
which made such a hit last year, will be
re-engaged. The committee has been as
sured by both railroads that they will run
plenty Of special trains to accommodate
the crowds. as the officials last year re-
ceived a practical demonstration of this
necessity when they visited the palace
and found that the regular trains did not
come up to the requirements to handle the
crowds which thronged the city every day.

Lead, S. D.. May 13.-One of the most
active mining camps in the Black Hills
at the present time is in the Bear
Gulch district about ten miles west of
this city. There is located the only
tin producing mine in the Black Hills.
1t is producing from 1900 to 1000
pounds concentrates daily. which will
yield between seventy-five and eighty
per cent metallic tin. The mill is treat
ing about sixty tons of ore per day
and as soon rs the roads get in better
shape the capacity will be doubled.
The company has an enormous vein
of this ore running several thousand
feet in length. and from seventy-fiv to
n hundred feet in width. it being a
true assure vein. 1t is considered to
be n of the best paying mining propo-
sitions at the present time in the Black
Hills. The mill capacity is to be in
creased and eventually will be conduct
ed on a very large scale. The experts
who examined the property claim that
that the ore reserve is larger than any.
thing found in Europe.

Chambers states that during the past five

acquired in barber shops. He has seen
