The fortyfour members of Uio board
of trade who made an excursion to the
Black llllls returned yesterday 'morn
ing. They had a most enjoyable trip
and acquired Knowledge ot a largo and
prosperous territory tributary toOnmhn
which may ho turned to the mutual
profit of tills city and the communities
between hero and Doadwood. Every
where our commercial representatives
wore received with the utmost cordial
ity and courtesy , and everywhere they
learned that the merchants o !
the section visited would prefer
to do business xvith Onwhn
did our merchants manifest nny doslrc
to secure their business. The reason
it was ascertained , why wo are not en
joying to a greater oxlont than another , \
other commercial center the business
of this northwestern region is in our
failure to seek and cultivate it. It is tc
bo had almost for the asking , but our
merchants , possibly thinking that il
would come because naturally tributary
to us , have not taken the trouble on
any largo scale to secure it , and it has
gene elsewhere. The fact furnishes
additional evidence that in order to ob
tutn business , however great tin
natural advantages a city may possess ,
it must bo sought. The commercial
community that sits down to wait for
trade will certainly fail to got it. Th <
merchants who wont to the Black Illlh
have learned this useful lesson , and
they propose to look after this trade
and cultivate It , having convinced
themselves that it is well worth scour
ing.Tho
The consensus of opinion among these
gentlemen , as shown by the interviews
"printed , is that their visit nmdo 11
favorable impression for Omaha
and that the result will bo beneficial ti
the business of this city. There can be
no question of this , if the proper nnO
adequate olTort is made by our mer
chants , and there is good reason to believe -
liovo that this will now bo done
Omaha can offer the merchants of this
tributary territory as favorable a mar
ket as they can find elsewhere , with the
advantage of being very much nearer
to them , and when they have learned
as they must do with a very brief expe
rience , that there is mutual profit it
doing business with Omaha not to be
secured by trading elsewhere , there
will bo no difficulty in obtaining ant
holding their trado. The excursionist ;
are to bo congratulated upon the favor
able outcome of their trip and the busi
ness community generally upon the
promise of excellent results to come
from it. .
THE U. P.'S XE\Y \
Brief reference has heretofore boon
made by TIIK BIK to the recent deci
sion of the board of directors of the
Union Pacilic company , not to permit
any further increase in the debt owing
to the United States through the in
terest account. Thisdotormination ap
pears to have attracted a great deal ol
attention in financial circles , and it is
uniformly commended as the wise and
proper course to pursue. The fYmoici'cii
Chronicle devotes extended attention tc
it , speaking of the plan as striking the
root of the whole dillieulty connected
with the question of the government in
debtedness. That journal remarks thai
if there wore only the original principal
of the subsidy bonds to bo taken care oi
the problem would bo very easy. "Nc
ono doubts , " it snys , "that this principal
of the debt could bo renewed at ma
turity and on very much moro advan
tageous terms us to interest rates than
now exist four per cent , probably , in
stead of six per cent as at present
thus involving a saving of one-
third ns compared with the existing
annual charge on tlio debt. "
The Chronicle believes the effect ol
the departure cannot but bo highly ben
eficial. It will toad , it thinks , furthei
to raise the management in public esti
mation and respect , while bonefitting
greatly the property under their charge ,
As an additional evidence ot good faitli
on the part of the management in its
dealings with the United States the
Chronicle thinks the now stop shoulel
strengthen the case of the road before
congress. But whatever may bo the
prospect in this regard , it will mani
festly bo easier , remarks that journal
to provide for a debt of fifty millions
than ono five or ton millions larger.
Not only that , but the debt will hence
forth bo stationary , and stockholder-
and the public alike will know jus !
what its amount is. Calculations nootl
no longer embrace allowance for a fu
ture increase.
This very Hkoly voices the
sentiment general in financial
circles , .and it should suggest , tc
the management of the Union Pacific
the importance of a straightforward acl-
horoncototho now policy. It would
have boon well if the departure now
made had boon adopted earlier , as il
certainly tnlghC have boon , but it is
"never too late to mend , " and as denot
ing a purpose on the part of the Union
Pacific management to observe' "good
faith in dealing with the government
the now plan , though late in coming , is
to bo commended.
NATIONS VOLUNTEEIt AIIMY.
The magnificent display of citizen sol
diery in Now York on Tuesday was , wo
judge from the description , the largest
and finest of its kind over witnessed in
the country. The military parade in
*
Philadelphia thirteen yours ago was
imposing , but there wore not so many
states loprosontod there as in Now
York , and the number of men in line
was not so groat. A moro impressive
display than either was the review in
Washington of the union armies after
the war in 1805 , but the veterans who
marched there , while volunteers , hud
become regulars. They were a splen
did host of bravo and patriotic soldiers ;
who , had an appeal come to them in that
hour , when pouco had returned to the
land and they were receiving the horn-
ago and plnudltsof n gruteful people , to
go forth again in defense of the govern
ment , would to a man have returned to
camp and to the hardships of the cam
paign and the perils of the battlefield
without a murmur. It can safely
bo said that in all history no
nobler body of heroes , the great ma
jority of whom had gone forth voluntar
ily to give their lives , if need bo , to
preserve the union , over laid tuldo the
weapons of war to take up the instru
ments of peace. Many of those were in
the procession nt Now York , and justlj
received the applause of the people ,
They have passed the ycara of military
service , but their example continues
with all its inspiriting and strengthen
ing influence upon those who would-.bc
the nation's defenders it called upon.
The suggestion coavoytjd by the mili
tary paradcf in Now Yorlc ic that the
United States have a splendid body of
citizen soldiery capable of becoming , on
demand , the nucleus of as great an arm }
as any other nation on earth can create
The well drnioiTmllltla of many of the
stales , composed of young men whc
have the military instinct and spirit
could bo depended upon in any suddot
emergency to do valiant and olllclont
service in national defonbu , and a brlol
experience would give them all
the qualifications of votoratiR. Intelligent
tolligont and patriotic , they are
the very best material of which soldiers
are made , the safest and most trust
worthy dependence of free institutions
So long as such a force of citizen soldiers
diors is maintained , the United State !
will have no ticod of a great standing
army , or a military ostal.Ushmont more
extensive than it is at present. A regular
lar army of twenty-five thousand , sup
plcmontcd by a well-trained militia o
half a million , as this force In tlmo will
undoubtedly be , will give the country r
fighting strength equal to any urgonl
dumand'ovor likely to bo made upon it
The war department detailed an ofll
cor to observe the movements and the
condition of the militia which paraded it
Now York , and it is understood then
were representatives of foreign war
olllcos present fora like purpose. There
can bo no doubt that the American oil !
cor found the results of his observation !
wholly gratifying , while those fron
abroad , if there were nny specially
commissioned for this service , at leas'
discovered that the United States an
not without ample and excellent ma
terinl for the rapid mobilization of t
splendid army.
SCHOOL
The members of the board of education
tion can sav'o themselves much monta
and physical labor by closely studyinf
the provisions of the law governing
elections for the issuing oi school bonds
Under the law of 1887 , chapter 77 , sec
tion 25 , governing school boards in met
ropolitan cities , the board is prohibitot
from expending more than twenty-five
thousand dollars in any pno calondui
year without first submitting the ques
tion to the vote of the electors the dls
trict , "at the time und place of any city
count'or . ' state election. " The election foi
members of the school board is not r
city , county or state election. It is r
district election , governed by the schoo
law , and the question of issuing bonds
cannot legally bo submitted at sucl ;
election. Section 23 of the same acl
provides further "That no bonds shall
bo issued by the board of education
without firs > t submitting the proposi
tions of issuing bonds , at an election tc
bo called for that purpose , or at anj
regular election. "
The apparent inconsistency of the
two sections is a warning to' the board
to proceed cautiously and legally. It if
a grave question which provision would
bo held valid by the courts , and the
board cannot afford to have the validity
of bonds questioned after they have boon
authorized. It is safer to delay final
action on the proposition until the legal
authorities are consulted.
THE Rapid City Jburjutl takes Omahc

"Pew cities in the country , " says the
Journal , "Have paid loss attention tc

hours' travel than Chicago or St. Paul
Omaha's merchants have not boon in
clined to use their advantage , and in
consequence hundreds of thousands ol
dollars , worth of trade annually has
gene to these cities which Omahii
might have an joyed. It has uovoi
scorned that Omaha merchants have
realized that this is a good field foi
them. Now they may find that it ii
hard to divert established trade from
channels in which it has moved fet
years. Possibly the visit of the repre
sentatives of Omaha's board of trade
may do some good. It will not bo a bad
thing for the Hills if it shall impress
the visitors with a bettor opinion oi
this region's present and prospective
importance. "
PilliSiDKNT nAliuiSON is evidently

When ho arose to speak at the banquet
in Now York it was observed that he
appeared tired and looked paler than
usual. Although not a largo man
physically , President Harrison is of
rugged constitution , and by his regular
and careful habits of life ho has preserved -
served a vigorous vitality , but the tre
mendous strain to which ho has boon
subjected in Washington , totrothor with
the unliealthful condition of the wluto
house , have put his strength to the
severest test over experienced by any
president. A man of loss indomitable
will than President Harrison would
have given up weeks ago and sought
rest , and the danger is that ho will hold
on until compelled to surrender , thus
increasing the difficulty of restoring his
strength. The president should take a
vacation of at least two wcoks , going to
homo quiet und secluded place where ho
will bo safely beyond the roach of the
persistent and pestiferous office seekers.
AH opinion has boon rendered by ox-
Unltod States Judge McCroury , to the
effect that no state can prohibit the im
portation of wholesome moats under the
antl-drcpsoct boot legislation. The
learned jurist , quoting the constitution ,
holds thai the supreme law of the land ,
as wall as numerous decisions of the supreme
premo court , have decided that no state
or territory can shut out the products of
another state. Measures of such a
character in that event are un improper
oxoroiso of the police powers of a state.

Prof. Seymour , tlmmind reader , is In Lin

has succeeded in convincing a great manj
Llucolnltos that ho Is n wondnrful man. Ill
success In llndlng articles that were hlit ,
whllo blindfolded , has convlncsil some thai
ho Is all he claims , mid the superstitious art
confident that ho can road the Innermost
soul. Albeit , it Is certain that ho perform !
wonderful feats In n wonderful way , nnd
slnco his performances commenced hero ,
ninny of the foals of which were soeinlugl.v
Impossible , success crowning every effort , II
has been suggnstod that ho Is the man ol
nil men to llml the gun thnt John
Taylor used to kill Bob Wood * with ,
winch so mysteriously disappeared and about
which there has been BO much conlllctliiK
testimony. The sugganlon struck Shurlll
lolick so forcibly thut ho visited the pro.
fossor nnd laid the matter brforo him. He
frankly told Uio sheriff ttiut ho thought lie
could Und the gun mid was willing to make
the effort. Accordingly arrangements were
made. The prisoners , both Taylor and Gur
us , were to bo tiikon at n tlmo agreed upon ,
but unknown to Uicin.to the scene of the criuu
where the professor wus to meet thoin mil !
put his powo.18 to the test. The news sprout :
rupldXv nml Lincoln4 has boon fairly agog ir
expectation till day. But tl.o prisoners
lawyer , It scorns , hud a word to say. He
went Into court Instanter and got out an in <
junction to prevent the sheriff nnd professoi
doing anything of the kind. The cause will
bo heard In u day or two.
It n Pool ?
The contract for printing the senate jour
nals has passed to Puce , North & Williams !
that Is , they sub-contracted for the work ol
Jloiiry Gibson , who secured the contract
from the state. It Is intimated that Gibson
makes a good thing by sub-lotting the work ,
but the terms nro unknown. Gibson will do
the housi ) journals us per contract.
There Is n singular fact or two
in connection with the printing
deal. Tno contracts were let to the State
Journal nnd Mr. Gibson. They were the
only bidders for the complete detailed work.
A Hustings company and the Fremont Trib
une put Iu n few bids , but were scooped. It
was tally between the Journal mid Gibson
on every other count. Puce , Williams &
Nortn seemed to bo on the outside , without
nny interest whatever In where the contract
for the printing went , whereas , heretofore ,
this linn put in bids in detail on the general
work the state had to lot , and which it is
thoroughly prepared to ( to. Now comes the
firm und accepts n portion of Gibson's con
tract nt u less sum than ho contracted to do
if for. ' 1 his fact loads some of Lincoln's In
terested citizens to staio : "Thoro was a
pool. " _
The County Slnto.
Although early In'tho season the slate for
the principal county ofllcos has been mado.
The "bosses" have evidently gene upon the
principle that the early bird catches the
worm. Stewart , so fur us known , will have
no opposition for the county judgcshlp. The
position Is conceded to him by right of suc
cession. O. C. Boll will be u candidate lor
county clerk If ho fails to got the Lincoln
postoulce. Ho proposes to hold on to the
public tent us long us It furnishes rich milk.
But W. K. Churchill , deputy clerk , will enter
the race for the prize , and the bosses say that
he 1ms earned it. Bell will find him u hugo
stone to roll uwuy. John D. Knight , register
of deeds , will succeed himself. Than this
there is nothing surer. Sheriff Meliek will
have to down Sum McCluy , John Trompiu ,
W. II. Chirk , II. P. Hougiand , and 13. Hunger -
gor , before ho can bo nominated for another
torn ) , and ho is therefore putting up his
fences goou nnd stout. Prof. McClusky will
have no opposition for superintendent of
public schools. This take for him is $100 per
month and it may bn culled a veritable "soft
snap. " But ho is maltine u very crcdltnblo
superintendent and , it is said , nas earned re-
nomination at thu hands of the republican
party. t _
Uukcr'H Chances.
"I am practicing law , " said J. Caldwell to
TUB Bui : luan to-day , "nnd am after no ap
pointment whatever. The time was , per
haps , when I would have accepted the United
States district attorncyshlp , and I might
now , If the position fell my way. But my
chances uro like Baker's , on the ragged edge ,
I do not think ho huH a cinch on that place ,
by nny means. In fact It is just us likely to
fall to my side of the fence us to his , and
probably a little more so. I went to Wash
ington u few wcoks ago , nnd , after looking
thu field over calmly , hum ? up my fldelle nnd
came homo. No , 1 don't know who will get
the place , to u certainty , but I nm reasonably
sure that it won't bo Baker. I am certain
that ho does not have the united sup
port. of the delegation , and there are
matters that enter into the can
vass for the place tnat I do not think ho can
overcome. 1 do not care to discuss them
hero , but may at Home futuru time. I give
it ns my opinion that If Baker guts un ap
pointment ho will have to light upon somo-
iliing elsu. I am not an uspirant for thn
United States district judgcship as has been
Indicated by BOUIO of the stuto papers , but 1
am an aspirant for u good law practice and
have soiuu hopes of gutting It. "

Many conventions will bo hold next week
to nomlnaio delegates thu constitutional
convention which Is to assemble in Sioux
Falls on July 4. Most of these conventions
will bo partisan , but 1'vo heard ot none but
the best men talked of for delegates. Thus
lar , a non partisan convention hns been
called in only onu district. In tlio balance of
the state the republicans do not care to give
the democrats anything. Ifihoy can gel a
dulcgato hero and there by thu grace of the
minority roprtsentalmn hun-sy , it Is their
privilege. Hut thu dominant party bus had

As the timu approaches for oonslJuring
who shall bo our United Status senators , It
is seen there Is a remarkable unity all over
the stnto lor giving these exalted positions to
Messrs. I'cUigrow and Moody. Mr. I'oltl-
grow has lived In Sioux Kalis for twenty
yours , walking there because ho hadn't
money to pay the stugu faro from Sioux
City. Ho is cool , long headed , an Indufull-
gublo worker ; und although only fortv yours
old , yet ho went to congress ton years ugo.
Since then hu hus been too busy making
money , by helping to build up Sioux Fulls ,
to accept oftico. To day ho Is one of the
wealthiest men of thu statu. But ho hus
alxvnvs boon In iietlve sympathy with the
people , for ho is ono of them. So hns ho
been in active sympathy with Urn division
and Btalchood movement from the very llrst.
Judgu Moody hus lived iu Dakota twenty
yours first in YunUton und now in Dead-
wood. Ho is ono of the brainiest men In the
statu ; n keen politician ; a vur.v ublo und bril
Hunt lawyer ; one of Ihu best Judges wo Imvo
over hud. Ho is Inrguly identilied with thu
farmers , for ho cultivates moro land than
any other individual In the Black Hills. If
wo send these two mon to the sunato , Dakota
will bo as well ruprusontud in tlmt body ns

tlouian D. M. Inmati has been very aetivo

this is a republican administration , and It Is
