JERKING AN ORPHAN.

The chap who interrupted the temperance
meeting last night to tell Of his orphaned con-
dition and show his new shirts, was a Yank-
ton man. When he was jerked down and
landed out in the hall, he proved to be even
more drunk than was suspected, for with a
little assistance he managed 10 roll from
the top of the stairs to the sidewalk. He
was not injured, however, and it is reported
was even more seriously handled by some OF
the..saloon men, who were indignant at him
for making such a fool Of himsflf and rails
ing the suspicion that they had sent him up
to disturb the meeting,-Siour City Journal.
Jerking a Yankton orphan out of a meet
ing for showing a new shirt demonstrates to
what a deplorable extent local jealousies
can lead a community which under a great
many other circumstances would be peacea-
bly, disposed. We are a long suffering peo-
pie, but this is too much, Call out the
troops.

The band gave us some excellent music.
The speeches reminded us of the boy who
whistled in going through a grave yard, in
order to keep his courage up. One speaker
said they would not speak of dead issues nor
flaunt the "blooay shirt" He then in
formed the audience that there was no po-
litical issue between the republicans and
democrats here in Dakota in this campaign.
He: said the question is, which is the best
man to. represent US i'll congress-Mr. Trip.

whopper, that Judge Bennett was not the
choice Of the republican party.
Two prominent candidates on the demo-

In some wise book of an early day,
I've sometime read u pleasant fable
sflsAbouta dog, that stole away
And left his masters yard and stable.
Enticed by beasts of bad repute,
Afoxy thief and q woltlsh brute.
With prowling step and crooked track
They made together their "still hunt"
Till, trapped and taken in the act.
With death behind him ard In front.
The dog, whose name 1 think was Trip,
Tried thus to escape the farmers grip:
/" Have mercy, sir, aud spare those knocks!
I am not like these well known scamps.
This bloody wolf and willy fox,
Who. we all know, are worthless tramps.
I'm not In any sense a rogue,
But a most honest, faithful dog.
"Why, don't You know that good old Trip,
Your %ncighbor's servant, and your fricnd?9
The farmer answered, "Spare your lip,
1t will not help you III the end.
No honest dog would choose to be
In two such raScals' company ~
And thus we find it nowadays;
Our Trip is on the scent of game;
Ee runs with speed, and 10 udly bays.
And doubles with most devious aim
But with him run, as constant helps,
Too many we'll known traitorous whelps.
When you and I, boys fell in line.
And bore the flag through rebel states, )
Trip chose u safe and pleasant cline.
With Mormons for associates;
Where drafting was unknown, and where
Rank treason filled the very air.
And now he begs, with clamorous mouth,
For congress, salary and fame,
(To join hands with the solid SOUTH"
And help pay off each rebel claim.)
All, Trip! You won't quite do for me.
You keep such wretched company.
