The Burlington (Iowa) Ilawkeye reasons
very sensibly about newspapers and poli
cians. It sayi:
"The time might have been when the
prese of the country waa controlled by
politicians, but that aav has gone by, and
the newspapers of to.eay are entirely in
dependent of tho politicians, and quite
capable of gstting along without asking
anjr favors at their hands. Nor is it the
main business of a newspaper now-a-daya
to devote its entire time to politics and pol
iticians, as many of the latter seem to
think. A paper that is satisfied to make
its live out of politics and off politicians,
is satisfied with a very disreputable mode
of existing and it liycs on thin diet and
no respect. A paper that aims to be a
newspaper, has_something more to do than
to rack his brain continually about poli
tics, and when they are made the keepers
of party majorities and are held responsi
ble for keeping the majority figures at
certain point, they are put in a false posi
tion and one that uo pnpur wiiii true ed
itorial independence will occupy.
Sir Edward Thornton, special commis
sioner from Great Britian to the Centen
nial, gave a grand dinner at St. George's
Hall in Philadelphia on the evening of
the 11th. Tho room was decorated with
flags of all nations^ those of England and
America being gracefully entwined.—
Among the guests were Dom Pedro, Pres
ident Grant, cabinet members, and foreign
dignitaries.
After dinner was over Sir Edward al
luded to a President twice elected as hav
ing presided over the ceremony of inau
guration yesterday, and spoke ofEng
land's having contributed her mite to the
exposition. There was only a rivalry in
the arts of peace between the two coun
tries. He wished the company to drink
the health of the President of the United
States. This was done and the band played
"The Star Spangled Banner" amid the ap
plause of tho assembled guests.
The President then thanked Sir Edward
for the kind allusion to this countryman.
He knew of no better reply than to ask
them all to drink the health of Ker Majes
ty, the Queen. T'lis was dene while the
orchestra played the national air of •Eng
land.
The Maliommedan population of Sa
lonika, Greece, havo been murdering the
Foreign^. Consuls to that country during
the past week. The origin of the disturb
ance seems to be that the American Con
sul was at the railway station when his at
tention was attracted by the Cries of a
Christian girl. She was surrounded by a
score of Miisselmans who Wanted to take
her forcibly to the Mosque. The Consul
took the girl under his protection, and
while he was seek lug information as to
her nationality the Gorman and FrenCli
Consuls were separately Informed that a
woman belonging to their respective na
tions had been dragged into the Mosque.
They ootiaeqaentlyfrcpaired tor the Mosque
Where they were beaten to death. The
Vodiea ot the murdered Consuls coold not
bdbaried the excitement being so great
ibit it would be dangerous to attempt a
fiuenl until the arrival of reinforcements
for the troops.and additional foreign men
of-%ar. A special dispateh -front Athens
to the London Timst says a vessel arrived

from Balonica brings news that the Amer
ican Consul was not In Balonica at the
time of the murders^- jphe^Cliriatlans

The Governor was pressnt whon the Con
sult were murdeaed. He merely protested
and treated the matter lightly. Tho Turks
defiled paat the*corpses and spat upon
them. The body of the French Consul
had thirty-four wounds.
At Yankton, last Friday, the Supreme
Court of this Territory decided an impor
tant case relating to the bonds issued by
Yankton County to the Dakota Southern
Railcpad, amounting to $200,000. A call
ed session of the Territorial Legislature of
1871 authorized counties to vote aid to the
railroad and under this act Yankton Coun
ty voted the amount. The above stated
Legislature having previously held .its reg
ular session of forty days the right of }he
Governor to convene a special session was
questioned and Congress at its next session
passed an act affirming the law and legal
izing the votes under it. The bonds were
issued in 1872 and two years interest has
been paid. The tax-payers having brought
suit to enjoin in the collection of the taxes
Associate Justices Barnes and Bennett be
ing a majority of the court, sustained the
injunction on the ground that the act of
the called session was void and could not
be legalized by Congress, Justice Barnes
going so far as to deny that Congress ean
either directly or through the Territorial
Legislature authorize the people of a Ter
ritory to vote aid to railroads under any
circumstances. Chief Justice Shannon, in
a very able dissenting opinion, based
chiefly on decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States, holds that Congress
has exclusive power over Territories, lim
ited only by the constitution of the United
States and could have eithor authorized
local aid to railroads by a prior act or
cured the defects in legislative authority.
Suits are now pending involving the rights
of innocent holders of bonds and the
question will go to the Supreme Court of
the United States for final decision.—Etc.

Gideon Smith, of Nebraska, caught in
the Missouri river, near Ionia, one day
last week, a catfish weighing 90 pounds.
He brought it to Elk Point where it was
purchased by Mr. Fleming. It measured
four feet and nine inches in length, and
ten inches between the eyes. This mon
ster was caught with hook and line.—BIk
Point Courier.
In the District Court at Yankton on the
11th inst., the jury found a verdict against
Tobe Wait for arson in tho first degree,
and Judge Shannon has since sentenced
him to twenty-five years in the peniten
tiary at Fort Madison, Iowa. After his
sentence he said he had rather be hanged
than suffer twenty-five years in prison.
It will bo remembered that he was indict
ed for setting the many incendiary fires
there during tho winter. Tho verdict is
considered a severe one, tho evidence be
ing nearly all circumstantial.
Mr. W 8. Boll, of Vermillion, who is
acting as Missionary of the American
Sunday School Union, is in town, and
contemplates speuding tho month of May
in this county. His work is to organize
Union Schools, and to aid those already in
operation, by assistance in procuring sup
piles, and advice in regard to methods of
working by which tho efficiency' of the
schoolg may be increased. He would be
glad to hear from any neighborhoods
which need help in any of these ways.
During the month of May he may be ad

According to the following from the
Boston Globe of a recent date, Judge
Brookings is doing good work in the Bast

ings of the Territory will make an address,
giving a description of the agricultural
and mineral resources of Dakota and the
country lying between the Missouri and
the Yellowstone rivers, interspersed with
copious extracts from official reports. His
statement will be found of pecular inter
est to those desirous of engaging in agri
cultural or mining enterprises, not only to
werkingmen but capitalists."

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
In the Supremo Court of Yankton on
the 12th, Associate Judges Bennett and,
Barnes deolded against the legality of tho
Ms bf5T«M»ktf of
tho Dakota Beuthiern H. -R^ while U&ief
Jvstice Stannous jlecislon sustained their
legality. %ii#'case^was flrtt tried in the
District Court and the bonds decided legal.
The defendant appealed to the Supreme
Court, the decision of the lower court has
been reversed, and the case will now go to
the United States Supreme Court. The
Prese Dakoiaian thinks the recent de.
cision meets with general approval among
the people. We are of a different opinion.
While it may meet the approval of the
people of Yankton county it will cortainly
create a bad precedent, stop all further
bonding of counties for aid to railroads in
this Territory, and greatly injure the fu
ture development of this country.
The people of Yankton county were
very anxious to get the railroad, willingly
voted the aid asked, and now that there
seems to be a question as to the legality of
the bonds they try to escape paying them,
and a case is brought before the courts.
We are of the opinion that as long as the
bonds were voted in good faith, the rail
road was built and the people have reapod
the benefit, the^pbllgations should be faith
folly fulfilled.
BLACK HILLS.
We are indebted to the Sioux City Daily
Journal of the-11th, for the following
news from the Black Jlills:
"Dr. J. B. Pendery, of Omaha, who re
turned a few days since from the Black
Hills, states that there is a great scarcity
of provisions in tho Hills, "and that sup
plies are greatly needed. Sugar is selling
at 35 and 40 cents corn can hardly be
had for money, but what little there is
sails readily at 50 cents per pound flour,
$16 to $22 per sack. Dr. Pendery also
has this to say concerning the prospects
there:
As to gold, the precious metal is in the
Hills, but as to how much,' that is a matter
yet to be determined. Those who have
paying mines keep the locality seoret.
Gold is scarce around Ciister but plentier
to the north. Men frequent come in from
the north with small bags of gold dust,
for which they buy supplies and then
quietly depart. Reticence seems to be
their chief characteristic. More gold has
been found by the newspapers than by the
the miners, but the prospects, nevertheless,
are encouraging, and there is but little
doubt that gold will be found there yet in
paying quantities, but not without hard
work and suffering. It is a beautiful
country, and, gold "or no gold, it will bo
rapidly settled up."
Col. J. J. Shaw arrived in St. Paul on
the 5th, direct from the Black Hills, and
the fallowing from the St. Paul Dispatch
of the 6th, gives the Colonel's view on the
subject:
Col. Shaw says, there are some three
thousand persons in the Hills, but that
little is being done in the way of mining.
In fact, gold la as scarce there as it is here.
He met with some parties who had been
there since June last, and who gave no ev
idence of the possession of the precious
metal He instanced the case of one of
those who had been there since June and
whose shanty had burned down, who,
when the Celonel talked with him, was
'anxious to beg or borrow $300. to buy lum
ber with.for a new house. This man had
been represented/as owning a claim from
which he had taking daily from $10 to
$20, and he had no mpney to buy lumber
with. In fact, the talk of finding gold in
any considerable quantities was all fudge.
The whole thing was an unmitigated
fraud, though there was eome evidence of
gold in the Hills. Besides, the Indians
were extremely hostile and ever on the
alert to pick off stragglers and steal horses
and cattle.
THE FATHER OF DISORDER.
If one shall preach charity semi-occa
sionally, and labor habitually to excite the
strongest passions of men, there is little
probability that tho beauty of brothers in
agreement will be greatly promoted by his
efforts. That public teacher is dangerous,
to the extent he has ..influence, who labors
to impress men with the conviction that if
it were not for the wrong of others against
them there would be no wrong. Whether
intended or not, this sort of teaching is the
father of disorder. It Incites the mob, and
is responsible for the violent deeds that
the mod, in its wild frenzy, commits.—
Men are naturally disposed to excuse
themselves, and the ingenuity displayed
in fixing responsibility for wrong-doing
elsewhere than on themselves is aihong
the remarkable faculties of human nature.
Our courts furnish ample illustrations of
of this fact. The poor fellow in the po
lice court, who had, while crazy drunk,
made an assault upon a companion, can
tell a story that to his own mind should be
accepted as exculpating him from all
blame. The man who has been appre
hended in forgery can present a case that
he feels should secure him immunity from
the law's penalty. But we do not need to
go to the courts. for examples. We have
them, daily, in our intercourse among men.
The best of us are prone to shield our
selves—to color the stoiy, if never so
slightly, to our personal advantage. Self
protection, it is said, is the first law of na
ture and It crops out strongly in the line
of which we are speaking. The child of
two tears old, just beginning to play with
children of its years, will relate to its
mother the unhappy ^episodes that may
occur .with a coloring most egregiously
false. It is the duty of that mdther ip rise
at once, to the digqity of judge—to exam
ine both sides and "render a verdict in ac
cordance with the facts. To be blind to
the wrong the child has done, and to lead
it to enlarge upon its exaggerations, is to
pursue such course as is calculated to
warp the character of the child out of
shapeliness. Genuine charity and honest
good-will will lead one to do wrong to
himself rather than by others. There is
the highest authority for saying that it is
one's duty first to be right himself before
he shall be over-fierce in his denunciations
of the wrongs of others. While it is not
to be expected that frail humanity is at
once to come up to a living in accordance
with the higher law, it is to be expected
that there shall be some effort to compass
justice in our interchange one with anoth
er. In opposing wrong, in Church or
State, in the little or great affairs of life,
public or social, the contest should be
against all the wrong, and not .simply
against the wrong that is separated from
self and selfish interests. Thus when we
preach of the evil of political parties, lei
us not bo too gingerly with the evils of
our own party when we hold up to pub
lic execration the wrong-doing of politi
cians, let Us not magnify the wrongdoing
of politicians oppose^ to us and keep si
lence upon the wrongdoing of politicians
of oiir faith. Lelus irove friends to :our
friends by telling them, upon all proper oc
casions, of faults that ire their own. All of
good is not concentrated in ourstlves, nor
with those who keep as company in politics
or religion. If we shall have
(rtKngth to cor
rect mistakes of voluntary wrongs of our
own committing, -we may„hope to be of
uae to society in
characters of other
^foumml.
