KUMBEB 200. nilg gafeateiau IB PUBMHHKb KVEBY EVENING-EXCEPTING SDNDiVg TERMS OF SLBSOBIPTICN: The Pittsburg Telegraph, with its fiogrrs on the publio pulse, reaches this conclusion: The feeling in favor of the admission of south Dakota as a state is stead ily growing, and fair minded demo crats see that it will not do to shut the door against her on purely partisan grounds. This is the way Gov. Ziebach, of the Scotland Citizen, does up the frisky old oolt at Lennox: Old N. G. is gi tting in his work. Ht bus written a letter to Senator Harrison protesting againBt the appropriatu for the work uf the Sioux Falls convention, uil another to Hugh J. Campbell. The oom de plume he adopts is too trans parent to conceal his identity. The Sioux Falls Argus (democratic) evinces its faith in the "we are a state" declaration by suggebting that Governor Mellette convene the state legislature for the purpose of passing an aot au thorizing Sioux Falls to bond itself in the sum of $50,000 for railroad purposes. Then if the bonds found a market the test would be satisfactory and the state could proceed. Pluce is given in this issue to a Rapid City letter written by Dan Scott to the Sioux City Journal. It portrays tbe be ginning of the old prediction that Rapid City would in time become the Denver of the Hills. This was the belief of its founder, Colonel Martin, ten yenrs ago, when Rapid City was a straggling fron tier hamlet and though he is no longer at the scene of his early efforts the hopes early days are now bearing fruit. Rapid City will lead all Dakota cities in growth during the year 1886, The following paragraph is t8kon from a New OrleanB letter in the Chica go Tribune of the 3d inst: The letter of the Hon. Hugh J. Camp bell, of Dakota, to Senator Vest, of Mis souri, was read with pleasure by his old friends in Louisiana, where he was held high esteem. He was for several ears a Louisiana state senator, bat in all that time remained remarkably free from charges of corruption. He was a hard worker and a close student, and left some valuable additions to the his tory of reconstruction in Louisiana. It is only the enemies of law and good order in Louisiana who come forward with charges against Judge Campbell. He was a vigorous opponent during the days of his Louisiana residence, but he was always found on the right side. There are men so constituted that they never fail to array themselves in opposi tion to the right and it is this clasBof in dividuals who are opposing Judge Campbell. Reference to the record of the pro ceedings of the Dakota constitutional convention of 1883 demonstrates that the question of the eleotion of state of ficers came before that body and was re jected by a majority vote. The record also shows that Ab6 Boynton, of Len nox, a member of that convention, voted in favor of the resolution providing for the eleotion of officers of the state. The constitutional convention of 1883 was convened without the warrant of law, while the constitutional convention of 1885 assembled under the authority of a law passed by the legislative assembly. Mr, Boynton declares revolutionary the aot of tbe convention of 1885 authoriz ing the election of officers, but omits to state that in the unauthorized conven tion of 1888 he voted in favor of such eleotion of officers. Whioh was the more revolutionary—the act of the constitu tional convention of 1885 or his act as a member of tbe constitutional convention of 1883? There is a painful silence in the navy department since tbe successful trial trip of the government despatch boat Dolphin. The secretary of the navy has managed to state that the Dolphin is in every woy seaworthy, though he gave her tbe most trying test. When he first became secretary of the navy Mr. Whitney announced that this vessel was woitbless and that the government was not bound to accept ber. This was a conspicious act of reiorm—an act which brought about the financial crash of America's greatest industry and threw out of employment enough voters to have turned the presi dency over to tbe republican candidate. It now becomes tbe more conspicuous through the complete success of the Dolphin and the enforoed admission of Secretary Whitney that ehe in every way fills the contract. Of coarse he mast now accept the Dolphin, after once having refused to accept. He has suoce-eded, however, in destroying the only fchip building firm of any aaagni- •sfeat-fcr By carric a, per month, *1,00 per year, J12.00 by mr:l, per month, cento: per year, $10.00.

I, 1886—i'lie lilack Hills couutiy is getting its second wiud. When the rush days of '77-8 aud '7(J be nuu to wane, and things commenced re creating to narrower margins, those who remained—strong in their faith of the ultiinute great prosperity and perman ency of this rtgiou—inaugurated bys leui ol lailroud agltaliou. Not turn incy believed ttie lruu hurse would pat iu an uppeaiaucu wilhlu tile time tile) epicitied, but merely to bolster up llii-ii own Gouruge. The newspapers liert ouill railroads from eveiy point of thu compass. They argued ihe feasibility, uecessity and certainty ol each of then enterprises. But none materialized, and jueI wnen wuuy began to despair tin i'reiuout, Fluhoru unil Missouri Vailei couipauy pusned its line Hillward to ttte suip.ise aud deliKht of everyone iu this region, because a road Irom that quarter was ulwuyn regaided as a tnere possibil ity. Tbeie was not a single mau, how ever, among the thousands of lar-teeing uuU patient denizens ho oamped here to await "the good times comiug" to uume but was firmly confirmed of the nurc-iy ol ruil communication with the otutLB uitliin the euireut decade of the SUs. They were satisfied that the Kiowing importance of then utiou demauded such accom modations, aud now that lliib chief want of this country is to be sup plied belore tue expiration of the first nail Ol tnu present year, the old timers who Btuid with this uity through weal or woe can congratulate tnemselves on the steadfastness ol their taiib and good judgment, as they are already realiziug laigoiy on both. But the past five years of disoppoint uieut, limited stagnatiou aud compara tive general business depression have, perhaps, been the very best years iu the uistoiy of tne Black Hills. It lorued mnii) irom tbe over crowded mining oamps out into the valLys, wbtre thej trnve since been engaged in developing *ho agiiculiural resources of this regiou Hence, lo-duy, upon the approach ol tne second and lastiug awakening of in terest iu the various riob aud diversified L-lemeuts of wealth of Dakota's Eldora do, we find produoers instead ol a tur bulent. army of consumers who impov erished the countiy during its first years of settlement. Now there is solidity here, tUen theie WHB none. Everything was transient then, aud investments were simply hazardous speculations with all tbe c.hanoos against the investor, But now valueB are fixed, and a man can pat his money in real estate with an absolute assurance of realizing a hand some percentage on bis purchase by tbe natural enhancement of the worth of the property—that is, if he exercises ordi' nary judgment. This is the difference between the old and the new status of affairs oat here. There are "boom centers," of oourse even in this promising region where one can sink all he puts in. That eenter, however, is not Rapid City. On tho contiary, it is my judgement that Rapid is the ooming commercial and mining metropolis of this gold belt—and thirty two years' experience in frontier "boom oamp" ought to have ripened my jadge ment sufficently to give it some reliab' llitv. This city ie the center of attrac tion to-day, and tbe thousands of new home-seekers in quest of new locations and capitalists seeking profitable in vestments are turned this way. There fore 1 shall confine myself to the presen tation of the resources and the advan tjgies of Rapid as I find them existing at the present writing, In this connec tion I would say that Rapid boasts men in every way fitted to keep her in the lead of all rivoli. They a.e alive to tbe demands of the hour. In short, are men of means, nerve, and broad, ample buBi ness oapacity who will never Buffer her to take aback seat. Ia this respeot she is veiy fortunate, yet no less so than her admirably selected geograpical cation. Being situated squarely in the teeth of the Rapid cre^k gap, which af' fords the only convenient entrance the Black Hills, eveything in ingress or egress to and from the mining oamps must pay tribate to ber in one way or another. ThaB it is that ehe is U\* 9' 1 umerous advantages. She is singular ly fortanate in the possesion ot ma jority ot-the elements that go to build up a frontier metropolis—and besides there are no factions among her people. They all pull together: in any and every undertaking calculated to advanoo the oommon interests of the oity. A first olass wutwr power is among her natural advantages. A city water system for tire aud domestio purposes is being put u, aud will be in operation the present month. The water is to be brought iu from a large spring iu the foot hills, a oouple of miles above the town, and is ot the most cxoelleut aud healthful quality, This together with the pleasant, invig orating climate nud natural Bauituty ad vantages, aud magnificently diversified scenery, renders R- p.done of the healtl iest, as well aB one of the most pic uresque cities in the went. Aud the fact that she is within easy access to Harney's Peak, (the greatest elevation ii the hills region) the tin mines, ami her noted pointF, is bound to make her a resort for eastern tmiriBts, and invalids seek ing restoration of their impaired physical aud mental functions, lu mak ug theBe excursions over the pine oimi mountains, thousands ol feet above sea level, they will encounter pine impreg ated zoue, which will act as a panaoea to their ii Is and aD inspiration to their dormant energies. Iu brief, there ia a remarkable combination of elements to it Btyled the gate city of the hills. All the wagon routes to the many mineral dis tricts throughout the hills converge at the western limits of this queenly little city into one "wide and ample highway whose dust is gold." Tou ean't get round her. The several railroads sur veyed through this country pass through the gap, and consequently through the town. This condition of things renders her the hub, a proposition that none of her rivals can gainsay. A year ago there was considerable uncertainty, donbt and anxiety—a trinity of corroding ingre dients in human life—regarding the in tentions of the railroad company, but uow that this question has been defin itely settled by the planting of tbe com pany's western terminus iu the city, for at least a year to come, that spirit of un rest which proved such a disturbing in oubus to the denizens has been displaced by a vigorous buoyancy, born of certain ty. It is as plain on their countenance as a dry goods box on the sidewalk Notwithstanding tbe protracted delay of the promising era of new growth now upon this burg the leading men of the place never lost confidence, but demon strated their nerve and wisdom by the inauguration and completion of elegant private and publio building improve ments during tbe first two or three years of that irksome reign. The Flormann block a three story brick, 100 by 150 feet on the ground, is one of the hand somest and most costly private improve ments in the territory, and would do credit to Bioux City. There are three or four other brick blocks within the commercial pulse of the oity that are first-class, even elegant, and double that number in contemplation whioh will be ereoted in the early spring. The Pen nington county court-house, which is ono of the architectural features of Rap id, is perhaps not surpassed in Dakota, and is only equalled by tbe pablic school and the territorial school of mines bnildings which flank it on either side. Tbe latter publio improvement is desti ned to prove a rioh nugget to Rapid City. The reason why I am [so confident of Band's future rests in the faotofher ja: Uere calculated to render a mun healthy, wealthy and happy. Above I relerredi to the beneficial re nlts of the year* ol depression which brooded over this conntry like a spaviu uightmare, aud 1 revert to it again tu prove the proposition by tbe stattment that one firm alnne at this place sold 158 reapeis last season to the grangers in (be ributary agricultural valleys. Be fore tbe advent of that lone ull half a dozen reapers would have been Biillioienc to have gathered iu all the golden grain grown in tbe entire Black Hills region. Tbe demand of these maobines is lncoutrovertable proot of the rapid and extensive development of tbe agricultural portion of the conn try. The advent of tbe railroad will exei cise a no less stimulating spirit in the industry of this seotioi, Eastern capita lists, anxious to place their surplus shek els where they will do the most good, who heretofore would not entertain tbe idea of making a visit to this oountry to canvass the prospeots fur investment, will, now that tney will soon be enabled to ride ont in palace coacbep, come and see tbe Hills, aud a large per cent of these desirable prospectors will take hold of the many promising mineral properties lying idle for the lack of funds with which to make them pro ductive.
