Black Hills Journal: Some amusing
things transpired at the convention Of
Dakota editors recently held at Water
town. A resolution was offered setting
forth that the editors, recognizing the
expressions to which citizens of Dako-
ia are subjected by reason OF excessive
freight rates charged by railroad cor
porations, pledge themselves to fight
for the relief of the people in this par
ticular. The presentation of the reso-
tuition raised row of no mean dimen-
sions, and proved conclusively that a
majority Of the editors do not propose
toTantagonize the railroad companies
or to give any grounds for belief that
they would wish to do so. In compar-
ison with the resolution first offered,
the following resolution, which was
adopted, is very mild: !,
Resolved, That we, believing in the
equality OF all before the law. disap-
prove, Of all unreasonable efforts to
prejudice the interests of either indl-
vidual or aggregated capital and that
we rejoice IN the legitimate prosperity
of all whether as individuals or other
wise.. - -
/. The men who passed such a resolu-
tion would undoubtedly be able to
sight gun so as to kill if the game
turned out to be a deer, and to miss if
it proved a calf. AS q substitute for
the original resolution the one adopted
is worth careful reading, and after hav-
ing read it one cannot fail to think that
the convention would become famous
in the manufacturing of political plat
forms. A body Of men that could de-
liberately disguise i'll such language a
resolution arraigning railroads for op-
preston Of, the people would find little
difficulty in expressing itself upon the
tariff question in such manner as to
gain the votes Of both protectionists
and free traders. ", -
