views are held by the pnblic general
ly, in reference to it. The highest
duty of a journalist is to occupy a
position on the watch tower of pub
lie veal in every conceivable sense,
and TO give timely note OF warning
in relation to all kinds Of baleful in
fluences upon the well-being of the
community which he represents. He
must also labor to encourage the
commercial, manufacturing and edu-
cational interests. He must be a
conservator of the morals and fair
fame of the people to whom he deals
the current news Of the day.
To do this effectively, he mast
have the liberty to praise, encourage
and assist on the one hand, aud to
criticise, denounce, even satirically
aud caustically if required on the
other hand. But when he descends
to personal abuse, lampooniug and
billingsgate, he transcends his rights
as a journalist, and his usefulness in
his community is gone.
He should avoid giving names of
individuals in his criticisms and cen
sures, so long as the individuals are
not identified and generally know n
in the community as being persist
ent promoters and abettocs OF the
wrongs that are sought to be rene
died, and then only in reference to
their connection with the sentiment
or practice, yet never so as to do a
personal injury, the object must al
ways be public good; there are oc-
casions when he cannot be too Sc
we're so long as he is just aud truth
full, anything short Of efficiency is
useless and imbeciIe IN Journalism.
Public officers and public men or
persons notoriously auo publicly con
nected with any public property, and
public affairs, should always be re-
ferred to by their proper names when
referred to at all.
The journalist who does not de-
nounco the evils of the social evil,
drunkenness, gambling, confidence
games of all kinds, roping and steer
ing for the purpose of getting money
under false preteXts, fraud or mis-
representation, all of which tend to
iniure the fair fame and reputation
ofthe community, is unworthy OF the
confidence and support of society,
and any community which does not
support him when he docs denounce
the balcful influences is unworthy OF
the respect of mankind, and must
soon experience the moral blight of
growing worse from day to day in
unchecked evils to its own ruin and
dcbasement.
The foregoing taken from the Hot
Springs Sen,ipel Star, we conceive,
states the posi,ions of the p'css truly,
as well as the relation Of tbc public
to it. Parties who are always hunt
ing paragraphs aud sentences in
their Imagination which reflect on
somebody, are generally speaking,
men whose moral houses are lily for
tifed and no doubt take many things
to themselves which were never de-
signed. Truly, in such cases a "guil
ty conscience needs 10 accuser."
Such men forget that their papers
suppress from the public view ten
times what they publish, and often
deal in charity where, perhaps, the
truth ought to be unfolded.- Pope

Shooting Tournament.

The shooting tournament held in
this city on last Monday was q
grand success, a large attendance
from throughout the county and
quite a delegation from Vermillion
being present. Intense interest and
excitement was manifested during
the proceedings of the day, and
some Of the best rife and shotgun
shots Of this section were in attend-
ance.
The turkey shooting commenced
about 10 o'clock aud lasted all day,
and some fine craftsmanship was
exhibited. The best rifle shots on
the ground were Tuttle, Geddes and
Mosier, all from Civil Bend.
The most interesting sport Of the
day, however, was the pigeon shoot
ing from trap. for three prizes.
First, a magnificent silver cup, Sec
ond, a napkin ring, Third, a box OF
ammunition. Thirteen gentlemen en-
tered for these prizes, and the shoot
ing commenced about half past 2
o'clock. G. H. Walworth, ]. +.

| were selected as judges. Five birds
each were shot ut, at 2l yards rise.

city, yesterday morning, Judge Kid

cases on the calendar to be dispos-

the term will not be lengthy one.
Judge Kidder in sending out the
the grand jury intimated to them
that they had ought to complete
their business in two days which
they probably will. There are sew.

them will occupy much time and
the judge indicated to the attorneys
that he would like to dispose Of all
the business this week, and it seems
to be a general understanding thai
this will be the case.

School Affairs in District Mum:

Der Twenty-four.
On Friday Dec 3Oth, Miss Nan
ME Watson closed o successful term
in district No. "a. 1t was her first
term in Dakota, but she has had ex-
perience as teacher in Missouri
and Kansas. On account Of the
fall work but few of the patrons sent
their children regularly and several
scholars were not enrolled at all dur
ing the first month. But as the
term passed the school was more
and more appreciated. The average
attendance the first month was six
and the second month twelve.
Some parents were heard to say
"Our children have learned more
during few days this term than
they ever learned at school before. "
This should not reflect on the very
valuable work of former teachers
but imply that Miss Watson
taught q good school and some
of the scholars and parents became
more interested than ever before.

The brainless fool who purports

ty, but who really lives in Elk Point
thought he was doing something
smart when he wrote that commu-

Sioux City Tribune last week. The
effusion was intended, as was the
ono winch appeared in the same
papera few weeks ago from the
same party, to create dissatisfac-
ton among the Scandinavian and
American republicans in our county,
in the interest Of some democratic
politician; but it is 90 ridiculously
silly and pointless that it has the
very opposite effect from that in.
tended. The writer of these CON-

Rough on Rats"

The news, good, bad and
indifferent, being the chief stock
in trade Of the newspaper man, and
perhaps as legitimately SO as the
grocer's tea or the druggists plasters
and tinctures, we know no very
stunning reasons why our columns
this week should not include at
least mere mention of the little
street episode that occurred last
Friday a. M, and which was 80
prominently houted in the face OF
the public as to Immediately become
town talk, and the huge joke Of the
season on certain amorous family
man, who evidently made blnnder
while foraging for forbidden fruit
outside the prescribed marital limi-
tations.
The cold facts in the case proba-
bly, wouldn't deviatc materially
from what follows: On Thursday
evening Mr.. stepped into
Mrs. 's shop on Main street,
and, as it would seem, not being
pleased with the meagre stock OF
goods and wares on display, pro-
cceded to advise the keeping Of
more, better, and higher-priced
goods than those on hand, promis-
ing in case she did so to call round
and "htlp her out" on the sale thes.
Of. The lady dealer regarded hi
language as fgurative, springing
from the basest of motives, and in
the highest degree insulting to her
honor as woman. In vain tn,
advisory citizen sought to explain K
the irate female 'that he meant M
wrong" but all TO no use, she grew
madden and madden, and finally
seized a chair, not to support her
self but to expedite the departur
j Of her business adviser from tn
. room. He went. The next morn
t ing she met the unfortunae blunder
. er upon the street and proceeded 7
: climax the affair and give it public
i ity by busting the fellows JACKIE
with q raw-hide. She laid it o
: snugly, and he stood it as stoicall
r AZ they'll average, and that's til
end ontexcept that such scraps
like the odor Of a skunk, are apt {
smell afresh for long time aftc'
