to make a good paper, and Mr.. Blank

Dell Rapids Times:-T. Linus Blank,
of Jerauld county, has now reached the
acme of his aspirations. He is editor
ana proprietor of the Washington
Springs HERALD. Fame and honor
await him in his new field, but he will
find it very hard, rough road to travel

AID as mouth-piece for his campaign
against register Loomis next fall.

We suppose however that he speaks
from experience, and will let it pass
without farther comment. We are
happy to be informed by good authority
that Fame and Honor are awaiting us
Will our brother kindly entertain them
until we struggle up the "hard, rough
road" and join the happy trio in thell
march to the printers goal however

There is great deal of discussion al
present in the senate concerning
the right of President
and secretaries of the differ
ent departments, to withhold papers
relating to rem ovals from Office. There
seems to be much argument on both
