Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1883-09-27

In an interview, ready made, as usual
between Ordway and the st. Paul Pion.
eer Press, our long suffering governor ia
made TO state that he does not own any
land At or near Bismarck and that he ia
entirely innocent Of any attempt to
speculate in real estate on the strength OF
the capital boom organized and institut.
ed BY himself. He further alleges that
he is not the psssessor OF any property
in Dakota, beyond a few scrawny acres
at Pierre. In commenting upon these
clauses, we would not for moment i'm
pugn the veracity OF the chief executive
of Dakota. he is much too keen to be
caught in deal which would reflect
upon HIM. But he negIects in his inter.
view to testify that Frank Wilkins, his
ward and ex-private secretary. docs
own eighty acres Of land at Bismarck,
and that this tract. while it appears
under the title of another may be virtu.
ally his own. He furthermore omits to
state that several other friends
and relatives have gone deep into specu-
lstions in which he is the more than
probable partner. His allegation that
be has expended $4,000 more than his
salary in travelling upon public busi'
nese and in contributions for the benefit
of Dakota people is clean cut false
hood. There is no public business which
requires him to travel to any great ex-
tent, there have been no occasions when
he vas called upon to contribute for the
common good, excepting the food Of
1881, and the amount he paid in that
emergency could be divided by l,OO0
without dong him injustice. No one
has ever stated that the governor and
his son constituted majority of the
board Of equalization. as is alleged in
the interview, but it has been repeatedly
charged. and is susceptible of proof, that
the father, son and attorney. general com.
prised o majority of that board; and it is
further susceptible OF proof that the
governor controls the action of that ma
jority upon all points.
In this Pioneer.Press interview Mr..
Ordway denies that he ever INDUCED IN
vile language against the people of
Yankton and then runs Off into crazy
theory regarding the danger of assassin
alton to which he imagined himself to
be exposed by remaining in Yankton.
The entire statement is the product of a
diseased Imagination. A gentleman
prominently connected with the st. Pau
Pioneer Press informs us that Governor
Ordway, in three hours conversation
with him, not many weeks ago, made
use OF language the most foul and despic-
able against the respectable ladies OF
Yankton-lsnguage which no decent
man would permit to pass his lips.
We have in this brief article recited q
few facts, and if the governor Of Dakota
feels that he is maligned thereby, he
knows where to apply for his remedy.

Governor Ordway mentions In his last
interview in the st. Paul Pioneer Press
that some unscrupulous assassin sent
him "coarse likeness" of himself, cut
from the Press and Dakotaian, orna'
mented around the outside with ku klu1
hieroglyphics. The aforesaid "coarse
likeness" is the same one he had p.inted
in the Washington Critic, when he wa.
first appointed governor Of Dakota, &C
companied by paid.for biographical
sketch. We borrowed it for reproduc
ton in the Press aud Dakotaian, ant
while it was here made duplicate, which
has since been used to point moral ant
adorn tale.

WILMINGTON. TUESDAY,, JUNE s.
Ahont onr CITY FinAnOes.

The retiring Republican Council having
fixed the propriations for the coming
fiscal year with almost prodigal hberality-
actuated, no doubt, by the reasonable fear
that Democratic successors would be gen
orally elected by the people-upon another
Republican Council will deVolye the duty
of imposing q tax-rate sufneient 10 com
pletely cover the total of the sums to be az
pended by the various departments.
The best interests of the people demand
that Council take this matter firmly
in hand, and no matter how
much It may make the tax
payers vince, impose q rate sufficient to
meet every obligation, including the def
cheney of nearly $4,000, which the last
Council left as legacy of Its iacoWp potency
and mismansgement. The deficiency should
not be funded, but paid at once, and every
dollar Of the appropriations fully covered,
even II heroic measures have to be used aud
tax rate of 81 on the 800 imposed for the
purpose.
The real financial condition of the city, as
described in yesterdays GAZETTE, is a mat
ter of deep concern to all our people. 1t
is, in great measure, the result
of years of slip-shod management, which
imposed insufficient tax rates for the pur-
pose OF hood-winking the people, and added
the deficiency to the city's binded debt at
each recurring session of the Genera
Assembly. The law of 1881, which reduced
the city's affairs, as was supposed, to cash
basis, has been twice violated-ouce by 'he
Council which went out of existence in
June, 1889, leaving deficiency of $50, 900,
in consequence of an extraordinary demand
by the people for public improve
ments, and again by the recent
Council, which piled up deficiency
tibet will reach nearly $4,000, from no
other reason than poor management and
LACK OF common business sense. The last
Council did not pay the deficiency left by
It's predecessor, so that really the Council
elected on Saturday has to pay deficiency
OF nearly $4,000, In addition to meeting
the ordinary expenses of the local govern
ment.
The burden of taxation thus rendered
necessary is not pleasant to contemplate,
but it will never do in the world to continue
to create deficiencies for an indefinite
time, without making any attempt to
cover them. Financial ruin is the in
evitable result OF such a course, and if
the new Council desires to improve
upon the unenviable record of its immediate
predecessor it will at once strike at the root
OF the trouble, and by raising sufficient
money for the purpose, manage the finances
OF our city upon the principles of prudence
and common sense. Economy, of course, is
necessary in all things, but the economy
that contracts debts without raising the
money to liquidate them has too long pre-
vailed in Wilmington, and at last we have
reached the point where only the ''pay as
''you go" principle can save US from bank
ruptcy and disgrace.

The Latest Attraction At Druid Hill--How
Snakes Are FED.
rBaltlmore sun
One of the decided attractions at Druid
Hin Park is the collection Of animals,
which, though not large, has sufficient in
terest to draw large crowds each Sunday
and very considerable number ofspecta
tors every day in the week. The Zoo is
situated in deep valley in the rear Of the
mansion. The Zoo building is eight-sided
and 80 feet in diameter. Among other
things it contains sixteen monkeys; two of
them are of the ring tailed species, five are
baboon-faeed and eight are African swamp
monkeys. The last are noted for
monkey good looks, neatuess and
reserve. There are niue white-crested
cockatoos, four blue macaNs, one scarlet
macaw, one rose cockatoo. One Of the
rooms Is occupied by about 100 Guinea pigs,
of all ages, sizes and colors. Four aguta,
short tailed rats of large size, from South
America, are among the attrac ions. The
snakes hRve q room to themselves. The
largest Of these is python, from Africa, 10
feet long. There are four boa-constrictors,
ranging in length from 7 to ID feet, and
there are two anacondas, from South Amer
lea, about as long.
The manner in which the anacondas feed
ID interesting, but on account of Its apparent
cruelty they are only fed at pight These
snakes consume on an average a full grown
rabbit or chicken each every 81 days They
will die before they will eat any food save
that which they kill themselves. When
suitable animal is placed in the room the
snake having the best appetite unceils from
the embrace of the other snakes and ap.
proaehes the victim. The snake IL not a
hurry about 1t but surveys the doomed animal
most leisurely. In order to assure himself
that the animal is in perfect health and
| ft food for his snakeship, the vic i'm is made
\ to hop about, the snake stirring him up If
he does not move readily When the snake
| is satisfied with his examination he extends
about ope-half of his body, there is pause,
and the next Instant the animal is in the
centre of the coied snake, The crushing of
the bones OF the victim can be heard ut con-
siderable distance. The snake relaxes his
folds little, but on the slightest movement
Of the crushed mass they are tightened again
and again, When all trace of life has fled the
snake unwinds himself, stretching out at
full length. Heopens capacious mouth and
swallows about halt of the crushed animal
on the first movement. His teeth incline
inward, ard at each subsequent movement
the msss furtheg disappears. When it is all
In his mouth the mass is gradually forced
along his body by the construction of the
muscles. 1t can be distinctly seen as 1t Is
moved along and after 1t reaches his resting
place. After a good meal snake lies tor
pid for nearly three weeks. One OF these
snakes was pointed out the other day rs
feeling well aud comfortable after having
devoured two rabbits and a chicken. He
had the proportions Of an alderman.

DRESS TRIMMINGS.

There are very few places in

on getting exactly what she
wants for trimming dresses.
One of them is here.
We have as large a trade in
this section of our business as
any store in any city, even
though that store be wholly de-
voted to trimmings.
We have a richer stock of

tFrom the Louisvi lie KY, Courier Journal,
May 81, iSs3.l
To the Editors Of the Courier -Journdl.-
In reference to an advertisement in yonr
paper of May 2l, 1888, published at the in
stigation of rival lottery company, and for
the purpose of taking the advertisement and
republishing in the various newspapers
throughout the country, TO the injury and
detrimeDt Of the Commonwealth Dlstrbu-
ton Company, justice and fair play compel
the undersigned to write few facts in re-
gard to the matter. No company but the
Louisiana Lottery Company would be mean
enough to publish such an article against
another company. The Louisiana Lottery
Company did few years ago make deter
mined effort to break up the Commonwealth
Distribution Company in Louisville, KY,
but failed. Seeing that K. NJ. Boardman,
Of the Commonwealth Distribution Com
pany, by his push, honesty and enterprise is
building up business equal 10 their own,
they are again seeking 10 ruin his company.
VIII such dnlerhanded proceedings do them
any good, or the Commonwealth Distribu
ton Company any harml MOI The Lou:si-
ana Lottery Company, owning the State of
Louisiana, now desire to own Ken
tucky and the whole world. 1t
comes with bad grace, this persecu
ton here, when IL is we'll known
the Louisiana Company have an agent right
here in Louisville, selling tickets openly In
defiance of law. They want the Com mon
wealth Company to quit so they can have all
the business. Is not the Louisiana Com.
pany illegal in its own State Let the reader
ask for the great Louisiana Congressman
(Robertson's) speech before the last Com
gress. He states truthiully and boldly that
II Is illegal. Their charter has been re-
pealed and the Legislature has never re-
established it. Now, as to its fairness, tbey
have two cx xrebel generals who say TO the best
Of their knowledge their drawings are fair.
They place, so they say, 100000 numbers in
tubes aLd put them in the wheel, when in
TACT two persons could not wrap, coun: and
place in the tubes 100000 numbers in two
months, The only fair way drawing can
be had is to allow any ticket holder the right
to call for his number and see it placed in
the wheel The Louisiana company will not
and dare not do this. It's the old story of
the pot calling the kettle black. K,
