THE TRIBUNE—ANOTHER
I rr 1 REDUCTION.
July 7th yolumne two^of the Bismarck
expires, and. out enterprise
enters on its third year full of'hope
promise for the fature.
As to whether we have made a paper
acceptable to the people wo leave others
to judge. We have, certainly, been
constant in oar effort to' satisfy the
reason abie demands of our patrons and
have expended much more time and
money on the TRIBUNE thah our patron,
age warranted, trusting to the future
foi our reward. Every honorable means
within our reach has been adopted, not
to enrich the publishers, but
rto
For the ensuing year the price for
contract advertising will be as follows:
One column 1 year $125 instead of $250
column $70 instead tf $120 $4-0
instead of $70 $25 instead of$40 and
one square $15 instead of $20, and tin
transient advertisments ten cents per
line for first insertion and 7£ cents for
each subsequent insertion. Legal ad­
vertising at legal rates, viz.: $1.50 per
folio (ten lines nonpariel) for fifst in­
sertion and 75 cts. for each subsequent
insertion.
This is a reduction of nearly fifty per
cent over former prices on contract
advertising and'we trust our business
men will now see it to their interest"to
enlarge or renew their advertising con­
tracts.
It is now very well understood that
the TRIBUNE is not the organ of any
faction in our city or of any politician
that its only ambition is to furnish the
news, local and general, make a ligiti
mate living, building up a purely busi­
ness enterprise, and that it is earnest
and straight forward, in its efforts to
promote the Interests of the town,
though, perhaps, sometimes in error.
CLARK IfOTJSB, MINNEAP­
OLIS.
Persons visiting ^Minneapolis will find
the Clark House, corhe'r pf llennepin
avenue and 4th strets, the besi stopping
place in the city.r It is new and elegant
in appearance, well furnished and Well
kept It is situated In the most pleas­
ant portion of the city the rooms are
large and tasty—in that respect not ex
ceeded'byihfe Nicollet—and are prefer­
able because nearer the ground tjie
table is the best in the city, supplied
always with all the delicacies in the
market. The landlord knows his busi­
ness and is the oldest hotel is in the
city. The landlady is attentive to
guests and tries* as a good lady can,
to make their stay pleasant. Gentle­
men will find an elegant bar, a billiard
hair, containing six' new tables, and a
barber shop on the first floor. $he
House is a large three story brick, not
excelled by the Nicollet, even, in ap­
pearance, and more pleasantly situated.
The House was erected last fall and has
been occupied but a few months. Hr.

poos
built
up the TRIBUNE and make it a credit to
the locality in which it is published.
To this end the editor during the winter
has acepted a salary from other papers,
using his income from1 that source, as
well as the receipts from the TRIBUNE,
to give its readers, full telegraphic news
and keep-the paper alive.
When hard' iiffies came, one after
another of our business men
1
educed or
withdrew their patronage, so that the
TRIBUNE publishers, more than any
other class of business men, were made
to"feel them, and since then some of
them ha,ve never -renewed.
The TRIBUNE, however, still lives and
will UVe'. We have made concessions to
our business men and. patrons from time
to time reuncing our subscription price
from $2.50-to $2.00, reducing the price
of locals Jroinj25 to 15 and then 10 cts.
per line, and now at the beginning of
our third year make these further con­
cessions to cur business men and pat­
rons.

The Court of Appeals Orieri His He
lease Prom the Pejiitej$ary,
But a Sheriff will'Meet
Him at the Deer
Beimprison Him.
ALBANY, June 15.— The* Coulrt of Ap­
peals has unanimously revised the judg­
ment of the Supreme Court in the case
of ^Tm. M. Tweed and has ordered his
discharge.
The judges hold that the writ o( habe­
as corpus'has^lways^oeen construed in
favor of and not against the KbWty. of
the subject and citizen, and the reading
must be the same whether the benefit of
it is invoked By the purest and best of
citizens of the state or the greatest sin­
ner and one the moat worthy ofboridign
punishment. The law is no respecter
of persons, and suffers nd man,
guilty or innocent, tobe deprived ofhis
liberty except by due process of law,and
the writ of habeas corpus is as available
even to the guilty, or he whom the pop­
ular voice would condemn,as ithas prov­
ed against commitments by a king in
council. The judges state no warrant
carf bo found for culminative punish­
ment tlpon a conviction of several of­
fenses charged in a single indictment,
the aggregate punishment exceeding
that prescribed by law" for the grade of
offenses charged. The rule as claimed
by implication calls for'a single judg­
ment for all the offenses charged in the
ibdictment.arid of whi6h accused is con­
victed. It required that the offenses
joined shall be of the same gfrade," and
subject to the same punishment—that
is/ rioi punishment oftbfe sam'ekiiid,btit
the' same? in* degree.

'day ah old friend,who'passed through

ta disclose the name of the gentleman,
b'lit says he is reliablte and will return
toSicux City soon and retrace his steps
to the" Hills where he discovered the
quartz. That these specimens were
found in the new EldPrado. of Dakota
there is scarcely a doubt. The person
who gave them to Captain Wingett be­
trayed every indication of having been
iloiig exposed to 'the weather and the
ispecimens indicate their recent removal
from the virgin rock. Every little cor­

The Excitement at the East Unabated
--A Big Philadelphia Blow-out-Bich
Young Men En Bonte.
Special to the Inter-Ocean.
PHILADELPHIA, May 28.—A mass meet­
ing of persons interested in the Black
Hills expedition was held this evening.
A sixteen page pamphlet was circulated
among the audience, giving description
of the country and its richness, General
Custer's report, and other official docu­
ments, the cost of transportation and
living, the character of the men wanted
—brave, hardy, industrious,, and enter­
prising people—and concluding with an
account of the movement elsewherel
The Great Eastern Expedition includes
members from Pennsylvania,New York,
New England, and the Canadas. Al­
ready 10,000 men have enrolled their
names and are preparing to go. They
will meet in Philadelphia about June* 10
and start direct for Cheyenne, thence
to the Black Hills. The character of
the men is generally good. There are
scattered among them old California
miners, young men of enterprise, and
not a few who are well to do in .the
world. There are several with a fortune
of $8CT,obo. Messre White, of Phil id el
phia Pierson, of New York, and Allen,
of Boston, who are leaders, are all post­
ed in the country of the Black Qillg..
Mr. White on Thursday had a talk with
the Indians in Washington when they,
seemed in the best of humor about the
matter, and, in his own words, they are
"all right." It was stated to-nightthat
small expeditions are starting up all
over the east, which are ready to join
the "Great Easterou" A set of resolu­
tions has been adopted to the effect
that the expedition shall be for mutual
protection, to benefit especially- the
working class,and establishing rules for
government. Mr. J. S. White present­
ed the object of the expedition in a brief
speech during which he said there was
a number of unprincipled men, leaders,
over the country who were defrauding
the people by getting them to pay a
certain amount of bonus money. Col.
Charles Emmett, the scout, who had
just returned from a conference with
the SiOux at Washington, was one of
the speakers. He felt certain there was
gold in abundance in the Black Hills
and the difficulties of living were great­
ly exaggerated. A strong, fist, firm
hand, and'stout heart will overcome
everything. He was certain that every
man who goes out there with a deter
mination to work can make from/ $15
to $20 a day. After remarks by several
others the roll was presented, and num­
bers signed. The excitement is in­
creasing daily, and the men of this
expedition are determined to go into
the Hills. Mass meetings are being
held in a number of the smaller towns
throaghbut "the east.
The rapidity with which American
mechanics turn off work is a marvel to
foreigners. This fact is true eyen when
we leave out of the question the more
general introduction of machinery for
hand labor in American shops. We
have a lotter, just opened, as we write,
from a French-speaking German who is
having a machine made in Paris, from
the same drawings used in the con­
struction of ia similar machine in Sah
Francisco, where he* complains bitterly
of the tardy progress made on account
of the slow mode of manipulation'there.
The same is true in all European coun­
tries. Time there forms, comparatively,
but a small factor, in turning out a job
of work, While heie it is the most im­
portant and essential' in all jobs or con­
tracts.' We are led to this remark on
perusing the letter above referred to,
just previous ttf otir eyes falling upon
the following item from the American
Manufacturer: Last year Dr. Mishler
erected in Lancaster City, Pa., a 'tWo
story brick house in 'nineteen hows.
He now proposes'to build'~on the Cen­
tennial grounds in Philadelphia, next
summer^ a.two story brick house, 24&40
feet, in eight hours! He has arranged
with Capt. Geisinger, of Reading, for
the furnishing of the cornice and' door
and window caps, which will be of gal­
vanized iron. The Captain Will -be
allowed half an hour in which to put
up the cornice, though he thiriks he can
do it in a quarter ofan hour.
