Armies Have Never Fought for Free
Whiskey.
Robert Hllrdetfe.

Robert Burdette.
My dear boy, men have fought, bled.
and died, but not for beer. Arnold
Winklereid did not throw himself upon
the Austrian spears because he was
ordered to close his saloon at . o'clock.
William Tell did not hide his arrow
under his vest to kill the tyrant because
the edict had gone forth that the free
born Switzer should not drink keg Of
beer every Sunday. Freedom did not
shrek as Kosciusko fell over a whisky
barrel. Warren did not die that beer
might flow as the brooks murmur,
seven days week. Even the battle of
Brandywine was not fought that
whisky might be free. No clause in the
Declaration of Independence declares
that a Sonday concert garden, with five
brass horns and 100 kegs of beer is the
inalienab!e right of free people and
the corner stone Of good government.
Tea-mild, harmless, innocent tea;
that much sneered-at temperance bever-
age and feeble drink of effeminate men
and good cid women. Tea holds a
higher place, it fills brighter. more
glorious page, and is a grander figure
in the history Of this United States,
than beer. Men liked tea, my boy, but
they hurled it into the sea in the name
of liberty, and they died rather than
drink it until they made it free. 1t
seems to be worth fighting for, and the
best men in the world fought for it.
The history of the United States is in
complete with tea left out. AS we'll
might the historian omit Faneuil Hall
and Bunker Hill, as tea. But there is
no story Of heroism with rum for its
hero.
The battles of this world, my son,
have been fought for grander things
than free whisky. The heroes who fall
in the struggles for rum fall shot in the
neck. and their martyrdom is clOnded
by the haunting phantoms Of the jim
jams. Whisky makes men fight, it is
true, but they usually fight other
drunken men. The champion Of beer
does not stand in the temple of fame:
he stands in the police court. Honor
never has the delirium tremens. Glory
does not wear red nose, and Fame
blows q horn, but never takes one.

The City Charter.

In 1883, when De Smet was incor-
porated, the citizens asked the county.
commissioners to include in the town
the north half Of Mr.. Barlow's tree-I
claim on the south, and the west half Of
MIR. Dow's on the east. Both owners
protested. Mr.. Barlow had able counsel
who objected earnestly before tho
county board on the ground that to in
clude tree-claim in an incorporates
town might prevent the owner from
perfecting his title. The board deter
mined to include no land held under
the timber culture law, and declared
upon their record (page 1887 that they
found that the W. of s. e. sec. q, and
the n. of II. e. sec. SO, (the lands in
question: 'are held by claimants under
the timber-claim act, and the right Of
said claimants might be jeopardised in
making proof, and that the insertion or.
said lands might involve said claimants
in large expense without being Of nee
essary or material benefit to said village
at present." The people of De Smct,
unwilling to hurt any man or put him
in danger, cheerfully accepted the neW
boundaries and voted to incorporate
under the general law, leaving out both
tree-claims. The timber-claim law has
not been changed, but the proposed city
charter carefully excludes the Barlow
tree-claim, and includes half of Dow'sl
The Barlow claim is close to the inn
proved part Of the town, and Dow's is
about three times as far away. Dow

an ado about it when the town was in-
corporated, and why was not half of the
tree-claim on the south, which the vii
lage really needs, put into the corpOra-.
ton? If afterwards it was found that
there was no danger to a tree-claimant,
why was that claim wholly left out and
half of Dow's put into the city charterYE
Dow was never consulted, he never
consented. and lie still objects. -

put their seal Of condemnation on il

CANNOT workingmen understand that
they are taking bread from their own
mouths, and money out of their own
pockets, by such behavior as they have
INDUCED in recently? No prejudice
should blind them to fact 50 import
ant to their own interest. Business
men all see it; and yet to them the
disturbance has been greatest, the
volume of business last month was
actually per cent greater than in the
same month Of 1885, and last week it
was only "a per cent less than in the
corresponding week of last year. Thus
more than 81 per cent of the business ot
a great city went on, in spite Of strikes
and riots, burnings and bloodShcd. But
business men see that widespread un-
certainty as to labor means prolonged
depression Of industry, the conse-
quonces of which will inevitably be felt
by all traders and capitalists, though
they will fall more heavily upon work
ingmen than upon ANYBODY else. Why
should not wOrkingmen see that they
are doing themselves harm?-EG.

considerable pain TO think how many
of these requests come written on the
rear of postal card. So far none of
our correspondents have performed the
feat. We are strongly III favor OF q
postal card with a hip pocket in which
a dollar bill could be wadded. This
would not interfere with the postal
service, and if the wadding process was
carried far enough it would soon make
us independently wealthy.

HEADQUARTERS G.. A. r., DEPART
MENT OF DAKOTA A,CHAMBERLAIN, April
21.-Many comrades desire to attend
the National Encampment at San
Francisco in August, therefore they are
interested in all matters that concern
the trip. All the information possessed
by these headquarters at this time is
given in this circular.
All railroad lines reaching San Fran
cisco have announced $50 rate from
all points touched by them on the Mis-
souri, River. The scenery along the
routes vary somewhat. but all are inter
esting. The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe route makes the following
offer. They will furnish palace
sleeper, with sixteen double berths,
porter for car, at S25 per day. The car
shall be for the exclusive use of the
party, will be placed upon side track at
any point desired, and taken to next
point. when desired. and side tracked.
Thus all points of interest on that line
may be visited. A stop of several days
at Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, ETC., i,
can be made if desired. After reaching
San Francisco the car will be placed on
a side track, if desired, to be used as a
home while in the city. When ready to
return the car can be given up or re-
tanned and returned over the u. p.
route. If the return trip is made over
the Northern Pacific, $3.50 additional
will be charged as fare for steamship
trip from San Francisco to Portland.
The Northern Pacific will not carry
passengers west on Grand Army rate
tickets, but tickets sold for round trip
by all lines are good from Portland east
over the Northern Pacific. For par
ticulars write to Charles +. Fec, Gen
eral Passenger Agent, st. Paul, Minn..
who will furnish circular giving all
particulars.
1t is thought best to not book more
than twenty-five persons to one car,
thus leaving plenty Of room and max
ing the cost for palace car 81 per day
for each occupant.
Parties will find that a pleasant and
cheap way to make the trip is to join in
groups Of four or six with well selected
and filled lunch baskets. Only Occa-
sionally will they care to dine at eating
houses along the route.
1t is believed that $50 is ample to
take one from Dakota the round trip.
and enable them to see all there is OF
interest, and be forty-five days on the
trip.
The palace car will be sent to
Mitchell, il desired, and start from
there, or may be reached at Council
Bluffs.
1t Is necessary the arrangements
shall be made for the car as early as
June 10. Therefore persons who desire
to go in the way proposed, must give
notice to these Headquarters as early
as possible, and not later than June 1.
1t is proposed to leave Dakota about
July 8 or 10, SO as give time for stops
at places OF interest on the outward
bound trip. The Encampment meets
August 8.
