Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-05-01

South Dakota, in its efforts to attain
its rightful place in the union has q
friend at Washington who has labored
with untiring vigor in its behalf. His
name is p. S. Heath and the foregoing
cut will familiarize him with Dakotaians
who may meet him in the future. Mr..
Heath has been for many years WASH
ington correspondent of several eastern
papers and ia now at the head Of the
United Press association, q position
which enables him to exercise large
influence in the newspaper field. A few
years ago he spent several months in
Dakota during which time he was asso-
eiate editor OF the Aberdeen Pioneer.
His Dakota experience closed with an
attendance upon the first Sioux Falls
constitutional convention, when he rep
resented several newspapers OF influence
and won the hearts of Dakotaiaas by
his fair treatment of statehood matters
and his infexible loyalty TO the rightful
claims of our people. His interest in
the admission OF soath Dakata is as
strong ag it was in the days when lac
lived in our midat and he still gives to
Dakota the benefit Of his opportunitiec
to forward its cause. He is man tc
whom the good willof Dakotn s due
now and forevermore.

1t Is DOW in order for the disgruntlea
representatives of the press to cry out
against Huron because Huron favors an
active session OF the constitutional con-
yention at Sioux Falls next week, and
to charge upon that city the purely sell
fish interest of expeotant capital honors.
For long years Yankton's honest efforts
in the behalf the right that. existed in.
public measures were handicapped by
the hawls Of Jealous Stitt5itiers, because
Gaakton occupied the position OF seat
of government for the territory OF Da-
kota. &ts lahors in behalf OF the best
interests ef Dakota were neutralized by
the creation of 8 sentiment which dis
owned Yanktoa opinions, under the
plea that YanktaHS should be suspecte d
of personal aims ana motives IN con-
nection with every project for general
advancement. Lit is time Cor our people
to have outgrown the ehildishness
l,of their days of corporate
immaturity, and the people generally
have outgrown 1T. But here and shere
is found "A ancient infant blubberiag
the same old wall which smote the
nursery air of our territorial existence
and sniveling with lngubrious phiz be-
cause some other youngster is liable to

will encounter this whining complaint
as it progresses along the road to politl-
cal fame, but the advice of an experi-
enced sufferer is to heed not the transi-
tory squall. 1t is only wind on the
stomach.

BOWEN s KlNGsBURN, Prop ,s..

Coincidsnt with the grand ovation
given to jeff. Davis at Montgomery, and
bis reasonable utterances. cones the
following from the Atlanta Constitution.
This lesson we must transmit 10 our
children and our children's children -
that to them, IN all respect of honor and
glory, Las stands side by side with
Washington, and that their love and
pride must invest alike the msn who
surrendered at Appomattox and the men
who suffered at Valley Forge. This les
son is sinking desp into their hearts and
will abide there forever. The old grey
coat will be an heirloom in the southern
cabin when the continental buff is Tor
gotten, and the sword OF the father
who followed "Stonewall" will be the
badge of honorable ancestry. Whatever
the south may achieve-to whatever
greatness and power shs may ATTAIN
no living man will zee thu time whom
the monuments that mark the graves sf
her confederate soldiers and patriots
will not be the rallying points for her
true hsarts and the centers of her mob
lest emotions.
This IS all very pretty. but it possesses
significance which will some day be
felt. There is nothing substantial
about governmental structure which
permits treason to flourish under it's
roof and suffers TO go untebuked the
disloyalty psddled out to an open cared
multitude by . the executive
head OF the last rebellion.
Newspapers, the text books of the nation,
generally affect Indifference over the
Montgomery affair. or express senti-
ments encouraging to such gatherings,
under the theory that we are all brothers
once more and must forget the efforts of
the erring ones to cut the throsts of
their family associates, II is we'll
enoughto forgive, but not to forget too
quickly. A due amount of recollection
may save future trouble. Our govern
mental weakness is in it's federation. The
seeds of disruption are even now being
industriously sown IN southern soil. But
for the then existing institution of
slavery the last effort wcald have sue
ceeded. When the next rebellion comes
from the class now being educated to
bring 1T about, its strength and its ulsi.
mate success will be the weakness of the
opposition.

IN THE MINORITY.

A story is told of New York drum
mer who. detained in small western
town where a revival was in progress.
during the day met with a party Of
convivial friends and before night got
what is popularly known as ga load"
aboard. He nevertheless drifted into
the revival meeting at night, and took
seat near the front. 1t was rather
close in the church, and the warm air
was conducive to sleep. The drummer
soon yielded 10 the drOwsy god, and
after nOdding little, sank into a pro-
found slumber and slept through the
minister's rather dry and tedious dis
course. The audience sang a hymn,
and the drummer slept on. Then the
evangelist began his address, and
wound up his fervid appeal with this
request: "Will all who want to go to
heaven please rise?" Every one in the
church except the sleepy drummer
arose. When the evangelist asked them
to be seated, one of the brothers in the
same pew accidentally brushed against
the sleeping drummer, who, rubbing
his eyes, awoke sufficiently to hear the
last portion OF the evangelist's next re-
quest. which was: "Now l want all
of You who want to go TO hell to stand
up The drummer struggled little.
leaned forward nnsteadily, and rose to
his feet in a dazed sort of way. A sort
OF suppressed laugh followed from
some OF the younger people, and an ex-
preston of horror was noticed by him
on the faces of the older ones. Steady
ing himself against the rail, he looked
at the evangelist an instant and then
said: swell, ParsOn, don't know ex-
actly what we're voting on, but You
and seem to be in hopeless minority.'

On trying them on they proved to be
several inches too long. 1t being late
on Saturday night, the tailor's shop
was closed, and the editor took the
trousers to his wife and asked her to
cut them off and hem them over. The
good lady, whose dinner had perhaps
disagreed with her, brusquely refused.
The same result follow ed an application
TO the wife's sister and TO the eldest
daughter But before bed.tim the
wife relenting, took the pants, and cut
ting off six inches from the legs, henm-
ed them up nicely and restored them to
the closet. Half an hour later her
daughter taken with compunctiOn for
her untllial conduct, took the trousers.
and cut off six Inches, hemmed and
replaced them. Finally the sister-in-
law felt the pangs OF conscience and
she too performed an additional surgi-
cal operation on the garment. When
the editor appeared at breakfast on

THE RIGHTS INVOLVED IN THE
LIQUOR QUESTION.

EDITOR lNTELLIG GENCER:-Will you
allow me space in your excellent paper
to say few truths that are seldom
read in this community, but which
ought often to be read. | assert
1st. That no man has a right to drink
intoxicating drinks as beverage, be-
cause it Injuries his body and his man
hood. When alcoholic stimulants are
taken the depicting organs are forced
In order to throw off and rid the sys-
TEN OF the poison to do OverwOrk, and
no man can steadily imbibe alcoholic
poison without injury to himself The
sad effects will be shown in the bloated
infiamed face, the palsied arm, be-
numbed faculties, and degraded intel
ligence, and no man has a right thus to
injure himself.
End. No man has right to use in
toxicating drink as a beverage, because
he begins habit or pursues a course
that produces habit that is dangerous
ami destructive. There is an inexor-
able law that when one drink is taken
another is desired, and use makes Il
habit. 1t is not the same with any
thing else that we drink. When a
habit is first formed it is but Il silken
cord, but afterward il becomes cable,
massive and strong, too strong to be
broken. No man has 4 right to begin
a habit and to continue to strengthen
habit that will eventually destroy him,
and bind him in eternal chains.
3rd. No man has Il right to drink in
toxicating liquors as beverage, be-
cause he is doing that which will de-
throne his conscience. There is law
that sends alcohol straight to the brain,
whenever it is taken into the stomach.
Every drink that a man takes, is Il shot
right at his own brain and conscience,
right at the seat of life and moral sen
sibility. A man can drink his
conscience to death long before he kills
his body.
There is no stronger love than moth
er's love. Not many months ago
mother sat in the Michigan Central
depot, Chicago, waiting for train;
two small children clung TO her skirts,
and in her arms she carried what seem.
ed to be an infant, closely wrapped up.
10 strangers who approached her, she
said, "My baby is dead. these are but
her clothes. have carried them in nv
arms and next to my heart for two
years don't miss her so much, buried
away from us all, when have these,
and the children forget she is dead
The poor mother was persuaded TO law
aside the empty garments and was
cheereh and comtorted by kind words
Oh how strong is TIE love of "A mother:
and yet whisky shots, fired at the brain
and heart ,can kill it. A mother in Lon
don, whose love had thus been killed.
pulled off her little boy S boots, to save
them, to buy whisky with, and let him
drop out of the fourth story window,
and he tell mamgled corpse ON the
pavement below. Nothing but rum
could have thus destroyed that moth
er's love for her child, aud no man or
woman has right to drink that which
will thus dethrone conscience and
destroy all that is lovely in human
nature.
4 No man has right to sell lntox-
icating liquors for beverage PURPOSES.
no matter whether licensed TO do so or
not. because of the vast waste of money
and life Occasioned by such sale. am
