Is IN the market with an order for $50

again illustrated in the days market.
The start was weak to sc lower, but an
actual decline Of 1o@15c was soon es-
tablished and there were late sales

active at tle decline, but the close OF
the market was decidedly weak and
around 5000 hogs were left unsold.
Best hogs here topped at 1920 against
$3.50 Wednesday. and the average price
for the day was lowered to $3.50. the
lowest recorded since Aug. 3d. Receipts

Jurors and NeWsnapers.

Not merely on the ground of certain
professional qualification, but on grounds
of common sense and justice to human
nature, some words Of Judge Hough's
in the United States circuit court in the
Heinze trial, are worthy of notice and
of hearty commendation. He said:
II have instructed the Marshal to
allow you gentlemen of the jury to read
any newspaper or periodicals you wish
during the progress of the trial. There
is fear in the minds of many that men
of unimpeachable character, of unbiased
mind and fair judgment will be infiu-
enced by newspaper accounts and their
judgments overwhelmed by journalistic
clamor instead of the sworn testimony
they have been listening to. 1 don't
fear that"
We believe Judge Hough's confidence
to be fully justiiable. 1t has always
seemed to us reproach to the court, q
reflection upon the jurors and grossly
perverted estimate of newspaper infiu'
ence, to suggest that men who are
chosen by the court as worthy to serve
on jury are made unworthy and unfit
by pursuing practice which has beer
common to them all their lives anc
which is followed By all intelligent
members of the community. - New
York Tribune.

THE ESPLANADE.

That the general public may bet
ter understand what was intended by
our article a few weeks ago about an
Esplanade on Custer avenue, upon re-
quest of the CHRONICLE reporter Mr.. S.
w. Herber has made colored sketch
of block as it would appear when COM
pleted; said sketch being placed upon
the west wall of the post-offlce lobby
where all may view it. Study it we'll
and you will then understand the plan
as outlined and the improved appear
ance of the avenue by having it so
adorned.
The expense of preparing one block
need not be very much. We have a
great deal of musical and dramatic talent
in our city and with a little effort we
might organize Get-a-Move-On.U Us club
and produce few home talent plays.
We feel assured there are plenty in our
midst who would gladly aid the town
in this project. We believe that quite a
sum could be raised in this manner
without any one person feeling it bur-
den. Then when cool weather arrives
those afflicted with the hipity-hop bug
might give few dances and thus re-
plenish the treasury.
The CHRONICLE is firm in the opinion
that once get the scheme started so the

ject at times to the predominant infiu-
ence the east exercises in the United
States, yet the west is too much inclined
to refuse to profit by the lesson the ex-
ample of the east teaches. The casts
predominance is due, more than any
other one thing, to the fact that it Sc
lects good men for congress and the SEN
ate, and then sends them back, term af-
ter term, until they develop into season
ed statesmen, wise because of native
ability and legislative experience. They
are of class of men calculated to add
prestige to the west in the national coun-
ellis of the country. South Dakota was
foolish enough, once, to retire these two
men for term; she will scarcely exhib
it a similar degree of folly again.-Phil-

Surveying National Forest.

Pierre, May 2s.-Representatives of
the state land department are in the
Black Hills Forest Reserve working in
connection with representatives of the
general government, in makinga survey
of the sections which the state will
"trade" with the government for tracts
on the outer edge of the reserve, and
give up all title to sections 16 and SO
within the reserve.
The question of title and dual juris-
diction within the reserve have been
more or less the cause of friction for
years, and by this exchange all titles
will be cleared. The state lands will be
set out from the reserve and placed
with the lands opened to unrestricted
control. This work will be completed
this year.

people may see what an improvement
can be made with little energy in har-
mony with brains, and there will be no
difficulty whatever in accomplishing the
object desired. All that is needed is for
someone to take the initiative step and
form an organization. There are plenty
willing workers If someone will design
for them. The plan is practicable if we
will only set the wheels of progress in
motion.
Illustrate by practical demonstration
what can be done. Then private indi-
viduals will become enthused and i'm
prove the appearance of their property
by adorning the lawns with flowers and
shrubbery.
The members of the various churches
might also cultivate esplanades in front
of ther respective houses of Worship
and leave the downtown districts for
the non-sectarian to attend too.
