bashful and don't like to breach the sub

/ The tenderfoot jack rabbit ofTHE BIS
MARCK TRIBUNE claims relationship by
calling us a "three- ply Jackass." Itwon't
do, Stanley, as your stump tail and split
paws are clear give away. The only re-
semblance we have in common is our
ears.-Imter-G Gary State. 1. ssH
| His diminutiveness, iboth in stature and
brains) Bowen, would-be editor of the
Press & Dakotaian, evidently ''got on his
ear" last week. But then, as his ears are
the greater part of his make up" the bal
ance of his "corporosity," if any, is sup
posed to have escaped injury.-Vernaiz

1t is on such occasions as the marriage
of r. F. Pettigrew that the Sioux Falls In
dependent says it feels the poverty of the
English language to express its wishes
Perhaps some such phrase as, "Give us
$500 for our influence during the cam
paign," would sound well.-Press E Da-

We do not aspire to any nstoriety as q
blackguard, therefore the Era's invitation
to kick it's putrid carcass is declined, for
two reasons: 1st, we despair compelling
anything like decent regard for the
rights Of others on the part of the Era,
/ and 2nd, we don't wish to debase ourself
/ by kicking so base a thing.-SSo,Gr Valley

s The rumor that the editor of the Oljvet
4 Homestead had donned the blue ribbon,
must be a false alarm. In looking over
the columns of that paper last week we
discovered a large advertisement stating
that the best of whiskies, wines, beer and
cigars could, he purchased at that office.
If that means blue ribbon, we have been
doing considerable useless lodging in the
back way u Point Courier. s..
3 q Speaking of a correspondent Of the
Flandreau Enterprise the Roscoe Express
thus addresses the editor: Funk, we re-
ally pity and sympathize with you for be-
ing placed in position where you are
obliged to publish anything this scaven-
ger secs fit to lay on your table. So long
as you continue to publish his scurrilous
articles, just that long will your paper be
what it now ls-a disgrace to the county,
and yourself an object of ridicule.
The talented young editor'' of The
BISMARCK TRIBUNE in his last paper
throws his whole vim into the compost
ton of an advertisement proclaiming his
brother-in-law, Lieut.. Josiah Chance, to
have been lost, and Offering reward for
his return Somewhere between Bis
marck and Fort Lincoln the Lieut.. was
missed, writes the young editor in his
most pathetic strain, and leaves us to
contemplate with vague misgivings that
between tire points named the bounding
pillows and seething, swirling waters Of
the mad Missouri flow. However, these
fears are dispelled by what he says further
OH: ''His disconsolate brother-in-law will
nav liberal reward for his return to The
TRIBUNE office, and for the conviction of
the felons who are supposed to have stolen
him" What? kidnapping an officer of
the United States army? Let the Presi-
dent the Secretary of War and the two
houses of Congress he at once informed,
not forgetting to quote the high authority
Of THE BISMARCK KTRIBUNE, so that imme-
diate steps may be taken, not only to re-
dress the dignity and standing Of the
United States army, but to solace the out
ragged feelings of the "disconsolate broth
er-in-law" as WE'LL Yan7;ton Herald. {
