Some of the naner.

Some of the papers are going for
II. g. Hansbrough, of the DEVILS
Lake Inter Ocean for extortionate
charges for publishing final proof
notices. At first they said he charged
$G for each notice; then they.got it up
to 80, and now the Bismarck Tribune
says he charged $40 for each notice.
Some of these papers have a grudge
against Hansbrough for his outspoken
criticisms. The case will probably be
investigated by the grand jury; at
least his accusers ought to see that the
matter is investigated if they believe
the charges. Mr.. Hansborough says

Fargo Argus:-"Attorney William

1t is remarkable how the general
public will get misled rs to certain
alleged traits in public men. 1t is the
fashion to speak of General Logan as
extremely clumsy in the use Of the
English language, whereas his speeches
invariably show that he is a trained
speaker and thinker, expert in the
use of choice language. Everybody
used to hear of Horace Greely's pro.
fanity,as if he were one of the most pro.
fame men in the country, but we have
heard those who associated with him
in his office every day say that they
never heard him swear, and did not
believe he ever used profane language.
Again, expresident Hayes is frequently
referred to rs a man of inferior ability,
indebted chiefly to his wife tor the
success he has attained. But it is
ridiculous to suppose that such a man
could be three times elected governor
of one of the foremost states in the
Union and then be made the standard
bearer of the dominant party in the
nation. Very many people once be.
lieved that General Grants success
was owing more to good fortune than
ability. 1t is now becoming recog-
nized, however, by his former enemies
and opponents as well as by his friends
that his brilliant career is no accident,
and he is being unanimously assigned
a place amongst the remarkable men
of the age. 49,

The st. Paul Globe in speaking of
the probable activity in railroad build
ing in Dakota in the near future, says:
"The territory is increasing in popula.
ton and productiveness so rapidly and
extensions can be made SO cheaply
through an open and even prairie
country, with no forbidding streams to
be bridged, that far seeing managers
are anxious to advance their lines as
rapidly as possible. A sure revenue
responds to railway advance in almost
any section of the territory.''

The world has been shocked by the
exposures of the Pail Mall Gazette
regarding the wicked traffic in girls
for immoral purposes. People in
general. while deploring the necessity
for such terrible exposures, approve
the course of the Pail Mall Gazette.
Perhaps there is q lesson in this for
every community. The Sioux Falls
Press. referring to this subject, says:
"Girls are led astray, not merely in
London, but in every hamlet in every
land. These girls are snatched away,
not only from the lower classes, so.
called, but the best families in the
land here and there are called upon to
bear the disgrace of the sacrifice of a
dear one to this terrible and Unsuitable
monster. 1t is not long since there
was brought to our attention, right
here at home, an instance in which
two young fellows were out walking
one evening with two young girls. It
was suggested that the party step into
a quiet place and have glass of wine.
One of the girls wanted to 60 but the
other stoutly refused. Perhaps il they
had gone no harm would have resulted;
but there is scarcely a mother in
Sioux Falls who would approve of hav.
ing a daughter of hers drink wine with
young gentlemen in the SCI eened room
of a restaurant or saloon. The cir
who in this case refused to go may
have saved herself more than she real.
ized-she may have builded better than
she knew. The female nature is so
delicate that frequently it happens that
it cannot recover from a singlemistake.
Disgrace is often so keenly felt that
the victim-even when only one other
knows of the sin-is driven forever
from the path of rectitude. There is
but one safe way, shun-the first temp.
tation-avoid the least appearance of
evil"
