New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. —_—_—_—_- The Record Beaten. Not in a spirit of boastfulness, but merely as & matter of historical interest, Tux Sran rises to remark that the number of new advertise- ments printed in its columns on Saturday last, exceeded the number ever before printed in any issue of the paper. The business an- nouncements of that day aggregated over forty long and wide columns, of which total the number of new advertisements footed up 474. That wasa wise saying of the early Greek philosophers; “Brag is a good dog, but Hold- fast is better.” — Statement of the circulation of Tar Evenrxa Stan for the week ending May 11, 1889: Monpay, May 6, 1889............... 28,838 Turspar, May 7, 1889..

This year the commission to treat with them is authorized to pay practically what the Indians BLACK AND BRONZE KID OXFORDS, $2.50 TO have demanded, and their assent to the bargain | $5. is believed to be assured. The Indians are to receive 21.25 an acre for all the land settled within the first three years, 75 cents within the next two years, and 50 cents for the remainder. They will thus be paida very large sum of money, and will still retain about ten million acres of land for about 24,000 Sioux. As soon as their consent to the transac- tion is indicated the reservation may be thrown open to settlement by the President, and it is the probability of the speedy happen- ing of this event which is attracting to the northwest the tide of immigration. Disap- pointed Oklahomaites swell the Dakota-bound procession. The scenes which attended the opening of Oklahoma are not anticipated. The land to be occupied contains about six times the area of Oklahoma, and there is not the same danger of overcrowding, disappoint- ment and suffering. The number of claimants is not likely to be in excess of the number of quarter-sections, And if any late comers are disappointed in securing good claims in the Indian reservation, there are desirable lands nearly as cheap in other portions of the terri- tory. Dakota can absorb an@ hold all that is valuable in the rush of settlers to the reserva- tion. The opening of the Indian lands means more to Dakota than the addition of thousands of settlers to the population. It means the removal of the obstacle which has separated the Biack Hills with their mineral wealth in western Dakota from the farming and grazing lands of eastern Dakota. It means that the new state of South Dakota is not to be composed of two separated and inharmonious patches of territory which can reach each other only by a roundabout and clumsy course of travel through a neighboring state, but is to be compactly bound together by competing lincs of railroad which will afford the resident of one portion of the state easy and quick access to every other portion, and will cause the state’s diversified resources, its mineral wealth, its fertile farms and pastures to be developed harmoniously and to assist ope another's de- velopment. It will remove the only clog upon the march of South Dakota to the front rank of states. $< A question addressed to an esteemed cotem- porary by one of its readers, as to the pronun- ciation of the name of the race horse Spokane suggests the wider query, who is to be the final arbiter of any dispute over the pronuncia- tion of proper names—those who originate them, or those who merely copy them? Spo- kane, doubtless, was named for the tribe of Indians, or the river, or the county, or the township in Washington territory. Qut there it is pronounced as if spelled Spo-Kann. If the name of the Willamette river in Oregon, on which the city of Portland stands, were reproduced in the east, we should probably hear it accented on the last syllable, instead of ou the second. We have numberless instances of the name Paris applied to American towns, but no one ever thinks of calling them Par-ee; and wherever Delhi occurs here it is pro- nounced Dell-high and not Dailee. It is still am open question among philologists, which Pronunciation should govern in such eases; but the people who are not philologically learned seem to have settled it pretty well for themselves by doing just what they want to. So The American colonists in Canada are rendered uneasy ‘Weldon extradition act may be decided after all to be retroactive, and to permit their enf return to the states where they are wanted. ‘The weary boodler is not at rest even in Canada. oo Dr. Cronin, of Chicago, is not killed, but turns up in Canada much alarmed lest he may be killed or may be arrested on the charge of CLARET AND RED MOROCCO OXFORDS #3 AND 83.50.
