Black Hills Trail.

On account of local sentiment some
of the old time residents of this part
of the state are protesting against
the fencing of the old Black Hills
trail between Fort Pierre and Rapid
City. To find what standing in law
the trail might have, Doane Robin
son, of the State Historical Society,
wrote the war department at Wash
ington for any records which they
might in regard to the trail, which
was laid out in 1876 by Col. Fred
Grant. Their reply is that SO far
as they have been able to discover
there is no record in that depart
ment legally establishing the trail as
a public highway. Unless something
is done through state legislative ac-
ton, that historic old trail will soon
become a part Of fenced farms, and
no longer stand as an evidence of the
first progress in the way of settle
ment of the western part of Dakota.
Pierre Capitol-Journal.
The first location of the trail with
Fort Pierre as it's starting point is
due to the freighting firm of Hornick
& Evans, which had Sioux City for
headquarters, and freighted supplies
up the river to Fort Pierre by boat
and sent them on into the Hills by
wagon trains.
In 1876 Messrs. Wyman & Paine,
of Yankton, under authority from
the territorial authorities, went over
the ground, starting from For
Pierre, and the Sioux City firm erect
ed a warehouse at Fort Pierre ant
stored goods. In 1876 the govern
ment sent Col. Fred Grant a a rep
resentative, Col. M. w. Sheafe acted
for the territory, and they came II
Fort Pierre to lay out a permanent
trail.
The summer was rainy, and Col
lGrant, while often stuck in the For
Pierre gnmba. was not stuck on It,
and attempted to secure another
starting point, trying sChantire creek
about twenty miles north. Failing Il

CHANGE IN NEW COINAGE.
Familiar Motto "In God We Trust
Not to Appear on Latest Issue.


President Roosevelt has recently
been subjected to considerable criti-
cism recently because the words In
God We Trust" is to be left off ts.a
coins now being manufactured at the
minis. The protests have been so
nero that the chief executive
has deemed it wise to make a reply
to the critics, in which he states that
in addition to there being no legal
reason for the appearance of the mot
to on the coins, it's presence there,
borders too closely on sacrilege to
permit its use longer. The president
cites q number of examples bearing
out his contention which appears to
have considerable ground for eyis-
tence.

Democratic party to do is 10 nominate

the horizon a splendid promise, wiser than

What the Georgian wishes with all
its heart" we are told. 'is the triumph
and establishment Of the great principles

great principles, whatever they are. could
be equally well established by Roosevelt,
Bryan, Hearst, Culberson, or Hoke

There is enough truth in all this 10

whatever that the trust question viii not

there is likely to be a great deal Of dis

It may be discovered by the people that
the mother Of trusts is as much in need

the presence Of a growing surplus in the
United States Treasury, replenished large

fiscal problem demanding immediate So

tariff justify the collection Of enormous
sums in excess Of the needs Of the gov

BROADER QUESTION INVOLVED.
That of Harmonious Cooperation Of
Federal and state Regulation.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Underneath this conflict and contro-
versy. which has evolved altogether too
much heat and excitement. there is. a
larger and broader question than that
directly at issue before either the State
or Federal court It is the question Of
reconciling railroad regulation within the
States by authority of their legislatures
and regulation Of commerce among the
States by the power Of Congress. Here is
one Of the most difficult and delicate
problems presented by our dual system Of
government, and il requires statesman
ship and not temper for its solution 1t
is not a question for men of the ealiber
of Glenn or Bryan or for partisan cham
pions Of the rights Of States or OF cen
/ traiized Federal power.
The power OF Congress TO regulate COM
merce among the several States is exclu-
/ sive, and ii is unquestioned. II extends TO
the regulation OF the rates and practices
I Of railroads engaged in that commerce,
/ but these railroads traverse State lines
and their operations are partly within,
/ partly without, and partly across the lines
OF individual States. And yet these opera
/ tiOnS constitute one business WHICH can
/ not be treated as made up of independent
units in different States. State regulation
/ in restricting rates and charges and in
/ laying down requirements and restric-
/ tions affects the operation Of interstate
railroads in their practical management
/ throughout the length and breadth Of
| their system. The action IN one State has
| effect beyond its boundaries. and inde-
/ pendent action in different States may il
unrestrained derange the whole system
/ of interstate regulation and practically
nullify the action Of Congress.
Railroad regulation for the United
/ States cannot be broken up in this way
! and be made 10 work Either State and
! Federal legislation must be brought into

be found 10 make Federal regulation pre-
vail in the whole field Of internal trans

Morocco Needs DiscinIins-

There can be little doubt now that the
situation in Morocco IS one Of chaos and
utter lack Of government, and that for
the credit of the world at large some ma
ton, or combination Of nations, must
take hold and make the place habitable
once more. On account Of the recent
raids by rebel bands on Casa Blanca. in
which a number OF natives were killed,
besides seven Europeans. both Germany
and France have dispatched war ships
to the scene. It is evident that there is
a desire to punish some one for these
murders. but who is to be punished7
There is no regularly organized gov
ernment in Morocco to which the civilized
nations who have wrongs TO redress can
appeal. The Sultan is too evidently a
nOnentity. unable to cope with the rival
factions in the country and utterly pow
erless before such a daredevil rebel
as RaisOuli Impelled by the wide no.
toriety given 10 the events in his king
dom. he has dispatched an army against
Raisouli, but that bandit is firmly in
trenched in the mountains, and can defy
any force that the Sultan may send
against him. He still holds captive Sir
Harry Mclean, the British officer who
was In the service of the Sultan, and
at the time Of the raids on Casa Blanca
he again announced that If the Sultan
did not Withdraw the troops and guar
antee him the governorship of the north
ern tribes, he would murder his prisoner.
But even Raisouli knows how impotent
the Sultan is, and, instead of presenting
his demands to that potentate, he sends
his ultimatum to the British govern
ment.
1t is evident that however well mean
ing was the Algeciras conference in pro-
viding for reforms of administration IN
Morocco, it really accomplished nothing.
Things have been going from bad to
worse The Sultan has lost not only
his power, but the respect Of his peo-
pie. He has no army, and any levy Of
/ troops he may make Is Just as likely
to turn against him as against his en-
| emies. In the meantime, the country
is in a state of anarchy. All foreign
interests there are in danger, and the
time is coming when a strong hand from
the outside win have TO take hold and
put things in order.

Hysteria in the press breeds hysteria

their origin either in the newspaper Of
