The Toot of the Small Bore Politician
ED. TRIBUNE:-The lowest depth of po-
ltical depravity is reached when the small
partisan forsakes party affiliation and de-
serts former associates-for the sole pur-
pose of personal spite work to redress some
grievance that nine times out OF ten is
more imaginary than real. Some men are
SO constituted as to mistake their little am
bitions for personal Importance, and when
ever any of their schemes are thwarted it
makes them uncomfortable and they seek
solace by exhibiting 'bearishness' not
only towards the supposed course of their
woes, but also the supposed friends OF the
cause. Noparty is exempt from these dis
eased members and whether found at
tempting to ride on the crest or in the sed-
iment, it is clear case OF leprosy and at
their approach the warning 'unclean. un-
clean..' should always be sounded. The
occasional toot from a small fog horn
blown by the breath of disappointed pol
ltician who fOrgets to remember that there
are other giants besides himself in the
world announcing that charges are still in
the air against Governor Church, the Da-
kOta executive, and are certain to explode
head. has inspired this introduction. 1t is
not to be supposed for moment that Gov
ernOr Church cares any more for tn sc
spasmOdic OnslaughtS than the lion did
for Daniel nor would they be worthy of
notice were it not for the fact that the pro-
ducers of this discord claim to be demo-
Gratis, and like the dirty birds" that they
old Dakotian who has survived this kind
OF music from the days of Governor Bur-
bank down to the present knows how to
appreciate it. 1t is the only kind of plat
form that certain class OF poll tical Ish-
mealites can stand upon, and they are only
happy when they can sniff corruption and
cry fraud" Could they get to the wind
ward of themselves they would breathe
purer, atmosphere. They are always
loaded with "charges,' but like the blank
cartridge on general training day, their eX-
plosion only emits bad smell and fur
nishes amusement for the small boy. But
why stop to embalm flies This is not a
republican funeral. Inc antl-Church plat
form party would if they had the power of
.'the autOcrat Of all the Russias," fill their
Siberia with administrative exiles and in
augurate such a reign as only cranks and
whitfets can devise. But with such SOL
diers of fortune the war never comes up to
the manifest. To quote DR.. 0. w. Holmes:
The feeble sea birds blinded by the storms,
On some tall lighthouse dash their little forms,
And the rough granite scatters for their palms,
Those small deposits that were meant for
brains.
A DEMOCRAT.
