Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1885-10-22

In the address promulgated by the
democratic committee at it's recent meet
ing in Mitchell,it was asserted that north
ern Dakota has had no voice in the pres
ent movement for statehood and divis-
Ion, therefore the proceeding is one of
great injustice to the disfranchised Sec
ton. The writers of the address
should have been better informed.
North Dakota aided by its votes in tho
legislature to pass the act calling the
constitutional convention for that portion
south of the 46th parallel thus sanction
ing not only the constitutional conven-
tion but virtually defining the boundary
line between the two sections. North
Dakota members were also the first to
present memorials to the legislature
upon the subject of division. Demo.
cratic sympathy in that direction is the
cant of the hypocrite.

The first republican state convention
has ended Its labors and it's nominations
will be found in their appropriate
column. The gentlemen selected for the
various positions are quite generally
and favorably known and aside from the
fact that some localities seem to have
been treated with great partiaIity while
others are conspicuously ignored, the
ticket is very fair one. It is somewhat
remarkable that Minnehaha county
has no candidate on the ticket
from which it is inferred
that Pettigrew met with better success
at Huron than he did in endsavoripg to
control his own county. Viewed from
stand point remote from the inside
workings of the convention, one is led to
infer that its proceedings have been har.
monious ana possibly give promise OF
future peace. The nomination for gov.
ernor is the most important by far con.
sidering the peculiar attitude Dakota
will present when her request for ad.
mission is presented. Mr.. Mellette will
be found the right man in the righ,
place at that time. The new state
will also be fortunate in securing
the services of General Beadle
as commissioner of school and public
lands. The general is thoroughly con
versant with this interest and his admin
istration of it will be of inestimable val
ue to young Dakota.
OF the remainder of the ticket We re.
gard it as made up in the interest ot
good government and with determin.
alton to push statehood vigorously and
wisely to full fruition.

Political POiufe

New York Sun: The objection to con-
vict labor is that it is made to compete
with the labor of honest citizens. As the
conviets are ntaintained cheaper than
free workers, the contractors who en-
ploy them are able to undersell the free
men who make the same kind of articles.
Thus the competition of convict labor
becomes destructive to the enterprise of
honest fneh.' This Is the great objection
to it.
St. Paul Pioneer Press: Chastened
republicans may extract solid comfort
from the. Ohio election: Not bscanse
Foraker was elected. That was merely
q matter of course. Not because he is
elected SO handsomely; by methods sc
generally clean and credltable; by the
operation of influences that testify to
the vitality and improvabllity of the
party. and by majority so emphatic
and impressive.
New York Commercial Advertiser:
Ex-senator Thurman is quoted this
morning by special correspondent OF
our enterprising contemporary, the
World, as saying at Toledo, that the
mugwumps cannot be trusted. The
venerable statesman of tt % red bandan.
ma will be discovering one of these ays
that water is wet.
Boston Herald: Neither in nation
al sense, nor according to the primary
meaning of the word is there such a
thing as republican or democratic
party in this country. A political party
is body of voters having similar views
and acting together for common pur-
pose. There is no such organization
extending over the union to-day.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: 1t will be
interesting to note the causes that will
be assigned by democrats for their de-.
feat in Ohio. Most OF them will blame
the OWL service ideas of the president,
and his refusal to use hie patronage for
party purposes. Few of them will 70
sufficiently down to the root of the mat
ter to discover that the people of this
country do not want the democratic
party retained in power-that the elec-
tion OF Cleveland is an accident which
they do not want to see repeated.

CREATURES.

The Intelligence Which Distinguishes
Animate Things.
Some gentlemen were riding on a train
one hot day, and sending clouds of smoke
out of the windows of the smoking-car, and
telling stories to while away the time. The
conversation turned On the intelligence of
animals, and several related incidents that
had come under their observation, which
demonstrated that animals had sense. One
told of horse he had that would wait
around saloons half the night, waiting for
him, going from one saloon to another, with
the buggy, and when he was drunk enough,
and his friends had loaded him into tn e
buggy, the horse would go home on a slow
walk, and rap on the window with his nose,
and wake the mans wife up to let him in,
and the next day the horse would look
ashamed of his master. Another told of a
retriever dog he had that would retrieve
nothing but canvassed hams. He would
steal ham in front of grocery, or in a
storeroom of a neighbours house, and al
ways bring the ham home in good shape.
The man said one such dog could earn half

hooked, and 1 pledge you my word as
fisherman that 1 caught ifty-seven black
bass in less than two hours and every time
l got bite my pickerel was right there in
sight. He had evidently struck school of
black bass, and said to them in fish
language: Come on boys, l know where
there's dead loads of frogs and they fol-
lowed him, and he pretended to go for the
frog, just to get the bass, excited, and

FAST TROTTERS.
A Luxury Which Every Well-to-Dc
Farmer Should Enjoy.

Farmer Should Enjoy.
1t is a remarkable fact that while
farmers are encouraged in all sorts of
extravagances by agricultural journals
and societies in stocking their farms
with thoroughbred cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry, they are warned against
thoroughbred horses, notably fast trot-
tiers, with the same earnestness as
against any moral pestlence. A horse
that can trot mile under 2:40 gait is
considered the rightful property of pro-
fessional gamblers and an adjunct to
all sorts of wickedness.
The arguments against fast trotters
are many, but the one most often urged
is to the effect that fast horse makes
a fast man in the corrupt sense of the
term fast" In word, the opinion
prevails that the farmer and his sons,
so soon as they possess a horse of
proud pedigree, with promise of great
speed. are Immediately transferred
from upright, honest tillers of the soil
to Jockeys and gamblers, with no inter-
est outside of the turf. Another plea
against fine roadsters on the farm is
that there is more risk and less money
to the farmer in the rearing and train
ing of trotters than in the production
of general purpose and draft horses re-
markable for size and strength.
That there is demand, at remuner-
alive prices, for heavy horses, no one
disputes nor is it doubted that horses
of Percheron or Clydesdale origin are
valuable animals on any farm, bHt just
why these facts should debar fine road
sters place along with other improve
ments in these progressive times, does
not seem quite clear. From an eco
nomical standpoint. alone. well-bred
trotters are entitled to place on any
progressive mans farm. if only for
breeding purposes. inasmuch as fine
carriage and road horses always find
ready sale. A horse to possess beauty.
STYLE speed and endurance must be
weil-bred, hence the necessity of we'll
bred sires and mares, to get and to bear
the colt for roadsters. And then, while
many people do not appear to know
it, farmers are entitled to just as many
luxuries as are men in other walks of
life, when they can afford to pay for
the same. In a word, if a well-to-do
farmer or his sons appreciate and take
pleasure in fine roadster, there is no
law against their having one. Indeed.
there is striking incongruity in the
fact of mans investing thousands of
dollars in cattle and sheep, with pedi-
grees recorded in herd books, and
driving behind rawboned horse taken
from the pillow or truck-wagon which.
under the hammer, would not bring
$50.

TABLE MANNERS.

"Aunt Marjorie Precept" Tells What True
PoIiteness Springs from and How to
Behave Well at Table.
There is no place where good or bad
manners are SO quickly observed as at
the table. The way people behave there
shows plainly and at once whether or
not they are used to the company Of la
dies and gentlemen.
Let me say here that our home man.
ners are by far the most important for
us to consider. Persons who are rude,
selfish, or disagreeable at home will at
some time betray these traits when
elsewhere. Politeness springs FROM true
kindness of heart, and may almost be
defined as caring a great deal for the
happiness of others. l would give very
little for the politeness which is only on
the surface, and kept, like party
dress, for great occasions.
Clean faces and hands, clean finger
nails, well brushed hair and clothing,
and tasteful appearance generally,
should at the table distinguish Young
people who are well brought up. Never,
let the weather be what it may, should
Jack come to dinner in his shirt sleeves,
A coat of some kind every gentleman
must wear at that meal. Jack, who is
a boy growing up to be gentleman,
ought to be as particular about this as
papa or brother Hal. Girls should be
as careful as their brothers
about the matter of toilet
for their meals. Pretty white
dresses, gay ribbons and general
daintiness should make girl re-
semble her favorite flower, and delight
the eyes of all who look at her. An
untidv girl is like false note in music,
or a mistake in syntax-she jars upon
our nerves.
Do not be in hurry to be helped.
Wait patiently until your turn comes,
and then eat slowly. Do you remem-
Der in one of Dickens stories he de-
scribes very droll character, one Mr..
Pancks, who always ate his dinner as

fork il the proper thing to eat with.
Eat soup with the side of your spoon;
it is not nice to thrust the bowl OF the
spoon into your mouth, as 1t you intend
ed to swallow it whole.
Should you desire to leave the table
before meal is concluded, look at
your mother or your hostess, and hav-
ing secured her attention, say, pleas
antly: Excuse me, please" and hav-
ing her permission, you may withdraw.

Where the Statistical Enthusiast Might

A Southern correspondent points
out that there is a great field for the
statistics man in the late watermelon
crop.
Their aggregate weight in tons
would show up we'll in a row of figures.
Placed end to end. they would make a
streak of green from here to Cape
Horn, or some other jumping off place.
Allowing a melon and half to each
darky, it would take large contingent
of the colored race to eat them at one
sitting. The total amount paid for them
by the wholesalers would be equal to an
appreciable fraction of the National
debt and the total paid by the con-
sumner would be represented by that
fraction. with its denomination divided
by two. Allowing that so many feet
and inches of rain fell during the
rainy season, and that ninety per cent
of q melon is water, it could be easily
computed how much of the rainy sea-
SON went into the melon crop. Then
there would be the collie, cholera

wrestle with, and the mortuary statis-
tics to be put in convenient shape for
reference.-Detstot Free Press.

There appears no reason why. with
