WHEN the Dakota Capital Commits.
siOners were selected, the thankless
job was placed upon the shoulders of
strategic, brave men, who neither
feared Satan nor the treats of Yank-
tonites. AS by law the commissioners
were obliged to meet at YanktOn for
organization. the sheriff was on the
alert for their arrival, armed with
Injunction papers to serve as soon as
they should complete their organiza.
ton. But the commission outwitted
the sheriff and his scouts by meeting
i'm Sioux City and hiring special
train TO go to Yankton. When with.

Saint PaM Dispatch The Demo-
cratic party has been trying to regain
power for the past eight years by
shouting for reform-in the abstract.
During the most of this period it has
had control of the House, and, ut one
time or another, has been given an
opportunity to show its faith by its
works in a majority of the States.
Will some Democratic journal please
enumerate the reforms which that
party has accomplished, inauguratcd,
or even favored in earnest! And now,
with another presidential election
coming on, its shOrt-sighted leaders
are opposed to committing the party
to any definite policy in the next Con-
gress. They wish to wait until they
are secure in power before they make
known their purposes. The people
will not take any such chances. The
COarier-JOuradi of Louisville states
the truth when it says that "the
scheme for beating the Republicans
without IN issue, and upon common.
places shared jointly 10y the two par
ties, and by an avoidance of living
questions and moral forces. is like
catching birds by creeping near
enough to sprinkle salt Oh their tails"
81. Peter TibUnc. A man who had
taken too much fire water on board
Saturday night found the load too
heavy. and laid down by the dry
goods box placed over the manhole 1T
the PoStOilice corner. While fixing
himself for Il comfortable snOoZe he
displaced some of the boards which
were put over the hole, and dropped
through, landing on some boards
about six feet down. Not being
satisfied with his bed there he rolled
off and went to the bottom, some six
or eight feet further. Not liking it
there. and partially realizing that
something was wrong, he commenced
to examine and consider. lie hap
pened to look towards the mouth of
the sewer down to the river and saw
that it looked light in that direction,
and wandered down. Johnny Winter
had seen the man disappear, and went
down to the river to investigate, and
the man was just coming out of the
sewer quite sober. 1t is believed that
the sight of the river water had the
effect To sober him ut once. The fell
low says before falling in he had a
dream that he had died and gone to
that hot country, and when he went
down there he thought his dream had
come true, but when he fell from the
cap rock into the water he could not
understad it for he had always been
instructed that there was no water i'm
that hot country. He was only in the
sewer Il short time, but he is willing
to swear he was there Il week.

Amusing.

1t is funny to see the politicians
who control the policy Of the "dom-
inant" party in this State trying
to avoid recognition of the Prohibi-
ton factor in the calamities that
are already coming upon them, and
in the premonitions of other calam-
tiles, and more grievous ones, that
threaten them hereafter. The most
ingenious theories are invented to
account for these things without
admitting the true cause.
1t won't do, gentlemen. The
people will not always bear such
foolirg as has been inflicted upon
them for some time past. They
know their remedy and dare to use
it.
And the politician who refuses
to see and obey reasonable, whole
some, stalwart public sentiment,
makes himself ridiculous and digs
his own political grave.
What is true of the politicians in
this case, is also true Of the party
he serves. JUNIUs, JR.

TIE SMILING PROJECT.

In the article concerning the pro-
posed erection and operation Of con.
centating, satnpling, and smelling
works near HALEY, which appeared in
Yesterdays TINES, Mr.. Scott, the
manager of the enterprise, was stated
to have been in charge of the Copper
Queen properties in Arizona, as SUI
perintendent. This was an error OF
the TINES. Mr.. Scott has, among
other responsible positions which he
held, teen Superintendent and Mana.
ger Of the Huachuca Mining and
Smelling Company, and OF the Pima
Copper Company--both Of Pima
county, Arizona; and he has also been
Superintendent of the San Catarina
Copper Mining and Smelling Com.
pany Of Arizona, and of the Santa
Rosalia del Carmen Copper Mining
Company of Lower California, but he
has not been Superintendent of the
Copper Queen Company.
The statement is made in Justice to
Mr.. Scott, but quite against his
wishes, as he does not care for news
paper notoriety. Furthermore, he
says that it any Of those who propose
to take stock in the works which he
intends erecting desire them, he can
furnish satisfactory references.
No further steps have been taken
in the proposed erection of the works,
since Yesterday. w. +. Riley, David
Faik and +. S. Chase have agreed to
take $1,000 worth of stock each; Rob.
ert f. Strahorn, Manager Of the l.

be secured in town and then to call
on him, when the company would do
its share; S. J. Friedman admitted
the Importance OF the enterprise to
HALEY, and intimated that he would
subscribe; few others have done the
same; and altogether it appears as if
there would be no difficulty in raising
the $4,000 minimum required hv

WE TAKE IT ALL BACK.

Miss Daisy Pfisk brought to this of.
fee this morning bunch of twigs
heavy with yellow and red currants,
which were gathered yesterday after
noon, near Gimlet. Miss Prisk stated
that her mother had carefully exam.
med, not only the twigs sent to the
TINES Office, but all the currants
which she gathered, and only found
Quo solitary worm.
"Now," thereupon added Miss
Daisy; "You must take back what
you said about wormy currants, the
other day."
We cheerfully comply with the
order. There were no worms in the
currants picked in Croy's gulch last
week. The fact that there were none
in the currants picked near Gimlet
yesterday is proof OF this. Further
more, no worms were ever found, in
any considerable number, in any
cprrants ever picked anywhere. If
this rctraction is not deemed sufli.
oient, we will publish another and
prove that it is impossible for worm
to exist for a second on a currant
bush.
