TERRITORIAL FARMERS, ALLIANCE.

The above IS the name of an organiza-
ton recently formed at Huron by dele
gates from the various parts OF southern
and central Dakota. The reports show
ed various local organizations IN the dis
tricts represented, which, while differing
in minor details, had the same general
object in view. In many respects these
organizations are similar to the Grange
or Patrons of Husbandry organizations
which prevailed to such extent among
the farmers of several of the western
states about ten years ago. The same
causes which brought the Grange into ex-
istence evolved this organization. Some
of the reports show that at the late cleo
ton this organization, or the various 10.
cal organizations of farmers from which
thus one grew, exer,cd quite an influence
upon the legislative contest and compass.

The same influences that wrecked the
Grange arc beginning to develop in this
organization. The formation of stock
companies to do away with "middle men"
and forming monopoly of their own is
one breaker. and the miraculous cOnvcr-
sion of willy politicians 10 the cause is
another which stranded the Grange. The

TIE sentiment of the socialists at their
meeting in Chicago last Sunday was more
radical and violent than usual. Resolu-
tions were adopted denounclng capitalists
and the present order of things. One
speaker said that when socialism shall
prevail it will put all men IN palaces and
place on their tables the bounties of earth;
every man would be joint stock holder
of the entire earth and richer than Van

licvtd in slaughterlng few thousand
capitalists. The action of these people
IN engaging in military drill III arms,
taken together with their threats, has
created considerable excitement and un-
easiness among the people of that city.
The time seems TO oc coming when this
mcnacing organization will require the
restriction of law IN order to protect the
peace and security of the general public.

TIE Pioneer Press by some means ar

of that city was "a half imbecile shyster,

ION to the public in print The offended

northwestern journal that it was mis-
taken ir its estimate of his mental calibcr
and professional character planted libel
suit against 1t for $4,000. The case was
few days ago submitted TO jury whose
verdict seemed to indicate that they were
of like OPINION with tie Pioneer Press,
as they found for the defendant. The
term shyster is not IN any sense compli-
mentary one to apply TO lawyer; on the
contrary, it embraces in its scope about
rs much contempt as any one word can
contain. Tie word seems to have been
coined for the purpose ard Its meaning
can only be determined by common usage
and that seems to be contempt, though
VIC believe 1t was formerly used TO mean
improper methods employed by lawyers
to secure business.

The Pierre Beycotters.

The Pierre Free Press, in an i'll tenn
pered article on the subject of Senator
Vests speech, rails against Bismarck on
account of purported letter from Bis
marck democrat being read by the Sena
tor during the course Of his remarks.
The proposition of the Free Press to boy
cot Bismarck because some one or few of
its citizens oppose division of the terri
tory IS In keeping with the spirit of the
meeting recently held there in which it
was recommended that the merchants Of
that place boycott the wholesale mer-
chants of st. Louis because senator
from the state Of Missouri had offended
the people OF the territory. If Pierre
continues in its work OF prescription it
will probably in the course Of time find
real or imaginary insults enough to boy
cot all the balance of the universe, and
as like begets fike it will be boycotted in
return. Boycotting is dangerous bust
ness, especially when the object Of pro-
scription is tho biggest, in which case j

This is country Of free press and opin-
ion, and those who are in OPINION oppos-
ed to division of the territory have An in
alienable right under the Declaration Of
Independence and Constitution to hold
and express that opinion. Following 10
the way the Free Press expresses itself
towards Bismarck:
Senator Vest obtained all the smmuni-
ton for his recent trade against the peo-
pie of Dakota from Bismarck. There is
always some traitor in every camp, and
some kicker At every enterprise, no mat.
ier how just it may be. The patriots Of
'76 had Benedict Arnold. J. Wilkes
Booth came to the front in 's5. Guiteau
in 80. Even the disciples had Judas
lscariot, and Dakota has Blsmorck.
The people thereaway don't want Dakota
admitted; they don't want the sioux res
ervation opened; they don't want any,
thing that the rest of Dakota wants.
They have forwarded petitionf and pro.
tests, and aff1davits and letters, all
to prevent any action on tho Da-
kota bill. Boycott Bismarck. We pre-
dict that Bismarck's name will be den.
mis- before the daisies bloom. II mo-, why
not?

The Vanity Of Earth's Pleasures.

The pastor of the Presbyterian church in
this city, whose originality and depth Of
thought as well as irresistible application
of practical truths leave deep lmpres-
sion upon the minds of his hearers, dis
courscd Sunday evening from tho twelfth
chapter Of Ecclesisstes, which he said
was the closing up of the literary career
Of Solomon and the summing up of his
life of varied experience. While he did
not think the life of Solomon was model
one for the generation Of his own time,
and certainly not for the present one, his
great wisdom and experience, an expert
ence that his position enabled him to ex.
tend into every recess Of earth's avenues
of pleasure and happiness, qualified him
to give intelligent judgment upon the
subject. But with all his wisdom and
with every source of earthly pleasure at
his command, his judgment at the clese
of his life or at the close of his literary
career at least was that ''all II vanity"
He commenced this chapter IN the final
summing up of his life's experience and
judgment based thereon with an admo.
milton to the young, IN the words: 'Ke.
member now thy Creator IN the days Of
thy youth, while the evil days come mot.
nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt
say, have no pleasure in then," and
finally, "Fear God, and keep his son-
mandments; for this is the whole duty Of
man." Rev. Tanning said he would not
throw cold water upon the enthusiastic
hopes and bright anticipations Of the
young, but he would sdmonish them chat
all anticipated pleasures that were evil or
vicious IN their nature and tendency were
delusive phantoms ever receeding - ap.
preached at last to be found nothing bu
vanity. 1t was natural for the young TO
build castles IN the alr and center their
hopes of pleasure and happiness upon m
attainable conditions or conditions that
wouln not attain the anticipated pleasure
or happiness and in SO far - they failed
of realization they were vain delusaons.
They are Of the Garth earthly, while true
pleasures are Of heaven heavenly. Afsef
. life time, it may be, - IN The cass Of
Solomon. pursuing the baubls Of earthly
pleasure We are brought face 10 face with
the immutable mandate, "Thea shall tAs
dust return to the earth - Il was; nd
the spirit shall return unto God who
gave it."
