Yankton to Bismarck or Dcadwood. The

iFir,e Protectio..

n. At the meeting Thursday afternoon the
citizens appointed a committee consisting
of Messn. j. A. Mclean, VIM. A. Hollem-
back, and Sig Hanaucr to wait upon the
mayor and common council and request
them to appoint al least two special police
men for the night watch, to be stationed
in such parts Of the city as the mayor and
council may direct whose duty it shall be
to guard against the threatened dangers
from incendiarics, and to provide means
for paying the same. Considerable dis
cession followed and the most feasible
means suggested for raising this fund was
by cx-Aldcrman Griffin. He proposed that
a special fund be created from which these
wytchmen should be paid and that citi-
zens interested be invited to subscribe for
orders on this fund At par sufficient tDmcct
the bills as they become due. He said he
would cash sixty dollars worth of these or
dcrs any time and carry them until they
could be used in paying taxes or until money
was provided to pay them. Now if twen-
ty- five or thirty others will do the same
thing, and they surely will, the funds can
be provided. It il urged with truth that
the business men of the city pay all Of the
taxes that are required of them. They
pay their licenses and other demands to
the city authorities, and it is the duty of
the city to protect them against the public
enemies who have tried to burn the town,
and if the city government can't do this
the question naturally ARISES, why do We
have u city government?
The system of fines can be supplemented
by special tax to meet this demand, or
by system of licenses, and surely it will
be cheaper to employ this additional force
to prevent crime than to convict criminals.
Then, let the vagrants be invited to do
some work on the streets or be forced to
leave and those who pay taxes will be better
off at the end of the year than they would
have been if this expense had never been
incurred. a.5.
The possible destruction of our city isn't
pleasant thing to contemplate, and yet it
has had close calls during the past week.

announce your names in the papers,
and let the people know who you are

satisfactorily te every body snd with.
out expense. If not the choice of the
people, l don't want the office. Had

up the matter in full; but presume
that you are as conversant with the
facts as an. The tally sheets of the
clerks in the 23d district don't agree
as to Holmes vote; one gives him
90 tallieS the other 81; both marked
in figures 5S. To give him 81 would
he polling more votes for clerk than
were polled in the district. To give
him SO would elect me by 8 majority.
All the circumstances prove the So
correct; IS would made a full vote
far clerk. We hear Of three men,
who say they didn't vote for clerk.
A private tally, kept by one of the
voters, gives SO, which is in keeping
with every ether district in the coun.
ty, 8 being the nearest any district
