We deem ii the duty Of the people of
4ankton TO put in a vigorous protest
against the Preparation OF this imposition.
II is q duty they owe TO themselves ard to
The Hills. The business interests OF The
two sections will suffer by the abandonment
of the Pierre mail route to sn extent which
is not yet realized. and it is important that
we should employ every means in our pow
er TO avert the disaster which the post office
department is about to precipi,ate upon Us,
Il is pretty we'll established that this action
is taken in conformity with the designs of
parties interested in other routes, and the
only way out of the trouble is to carry the
matter direct to the president aud the post
master general, and to place before them
the facts as they exist. A meeting Of the
people of Yankton should be held, and
their protest against this outrage put in
such form that ii will lie readily understood
al Washington, Gov. Pennington is ready
TO go to the capital ON this business if the
people want him to, and we presume Judge
Kidder would also cheerfully share in the
work. These W gentlemen have already
accomplished much IN this direction
/, though their work has been undone through
t the efforts of the powerful combination,
arrayed against us. Taoir presence il
Washington, backed by the outspoken sen
timent of this community, would have al
excellent effect, and we suggest that a meet
ing be called for the purpose Of delegatinl
one or both of these gentlemen to represen
us at headquarters. The people should II
alize that the abandonment of this ma
q line win be disastrous to the interests {
a Southern Dakota, and should take promI
r steps to secure the permanent re-establisl
ment Of mail service between Pierre an
Deadwood.

The postmaster at Storm Lake, Iowa,
was unmindful of the instructions from
headquarters and went to the state con-
v~ention as a delegate. On his return to
Storm Lake he was surprised to discover
that he was no longer postmaster, his
deputy having succeeded him. This action
has induced great indignation among the
postmaster's friends, but they do not see
how they can do anything about it.

THE DRAMA.

We look upon the drama as great public
educator, and at the same time most po-
tent factor in corrupting the morals of the
young. The worst feature Of our modern
plays Is their suggestive immortality. In
the whole range of what is improperly
called the decent drama, few are more
suggestive of impure and sinful thoughts
than "Divorce." Parents who are regard
less of the infection Of prurient thoughts
into their daughters minds will permit
them to go to tho Opera House Tonight;
they who do not will keep them away. Is

TROUBLE AMONG THE IN DIANS or
MAINE.

The Passamaquoddy Indians have got in.
to bitter wrangle about silver medal
which the French government gave the
grandfather of their late Gov. Francis for
serving on French man>of-war. At the
last election son Of Governor Francis was
defeated for Governor, and now the claim
is made that the medal belongs to the Gov-
ernor, and is part of his insignia of office.
The Francis House is also claimed as the
Governors residence because the State
aided inIts building, but the Franchises and
their friends show that the house was most
ly paid for by the family, and that the
State aid was given because of the general
offer to anybody in the tribe who would
build him home. Both parties have ap"
pealed te the Catholic Bishop.
