That "Union" Massmeeting.

The much advertised and long talked
OF demo-nO, we mean union mass
meeting and pole raising took place
last Saturday, according to programme,
Notwithstanding the raw atmosphere
and muddy roads Probably there
were from 1000 to $500 people in at
tendance, a very large proportion of
whom were republicans.
The parade, which seemed to be con
Quoted without any well defined plan,
was rather a ragged affair, although
there were several quite tasty features
about it and few of the ladies wore
elegant costumes.
The pole raising was IA success, and
the pole is handsome and appropriate,
even to the poising of the arrow i'm the
direction of Cleveland's anticipated 153
solid southern votes.
The speech i'm the afternoon was de-
livered by Mr.. Burt and was very dem
agogical and tame, arOusing very little
enthusiasm. There was nothing of it
except the old, exploded claim that the
tariff is a tax added To both foreign and
domestic manufactures; u labored at
tempt To array the agriculturists of
the West against the manufacturers of
the East, and II demagOgical TRADE on
the question of state taxation, some of
the more conspicuous features of which
were Il neglect To show how any of the
money raised by tax could have been
dispensed with, or how democratic
governor could have saved any portion
thereof, or where IA democratic admin
istration could have pared down the
appropriations in any respect. He
called the expense of carrying on the
state government pin money" and
sought To create the impression that it
was an unnecessary and useless expen-
diture of public funds He also con
veniently forgot to mention the fact
that the state taxes for 1888 are nearly
half million dollars less than they
were in 1887. He also warned the
farmers that they would soon become
tenants instead of owners of the soil,
basing his argument largely on the fact
that there has been SiLtecR mortgage
sales in this county during the past
year 1t is quite safe to say that his
speech made no democratic votes.
In the evening, Il large meeting was
held at the opera house, ADDRESSED by
Frank Dean, whose speech we did not
have the pleasure of hearing, but which
is said To have been very eloquent
and able exposition of the issues of the
day from the democratic standpoint.

Fair Notes.


Ladies' and children under twelve
admitted free.
Somebody will get the special pre-
miums advertised in this paper.
Fair ground privileges are being rap
idly taken, but that of forage is still
open.
The narrow gauge will sell round
trip tickets TO the fair for halt price.
Fair tickets can be had at each depot.
Galligan's celebrated flyer, Jim Lane,
that has won six races out of seven in
the East, will contest the freefor-all.
The speed department will be IA spe-
cial attraction. Some good horses will
try for the liberal purses offered.
The outlook for the fair is even more
promising than was anticipated. The
sale of stock is novel feature and will
be apt to bring out large exhibit of
fine stock. The secretary is receiving
inquiries from all directions. One large
dealer in New York says he would
surely come if he were sure To find good
horses, suitable for family, hack or
draft purposes.

The Masonic Corner stone.

The interesting ceremony of laying
the corner stone of the new masonic
hall was performed last Tuesday morn
ing, as advertised. The weather was
so cold and raw that there was not a
large attendance. Deputy Grand Mas
ter Young of Kalamazoo, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies and was ably assisted
by the Paw Paw brethren and by visit
ing members from Lawrence, Lawton
and Kalamazoo. Among the latter, we
noticed Judge A. j. Mills. After the
stone was lowered into position, copies
of the NoRTHERNER and the Courier, a
history of the lodge, emblems of the
order, etc, were deposited therein and
securely sealed. Ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Fifield of Wisconsin, mason of
the most exalted degree, then closed
the exercises of the occasion with a
brief, but appropriate address.

Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1888-10-03

In st. Paul Monday there was an ac-
tive revival cf the tenacious rumor that
the Manitoba railroad company had
been sold to the Chicago Burlington &
Quincy. The Pioneer Press says Mr..
Marvel, the new vice president of the
Manitoba, when asked about the rumor,
character zed it as the "veriest hum.
bug" and Others who were approached
thought the report too absurd to be
seriously considered. The reason for
such report, as well as the old rumor
OF the consolidation of the Manitoba and
B-flington & Northern, probably lies in
the fact that proportion of the stock of
the three companies is owned by the
same men. The gentlemen who are the
Boston stockholders of the Manitoba are
probably all owners OF Chicago, Bur.
lington & Quincy stock, which has a.
ways been Boston's pet Investment. The
outside estimate is that one-third the
twenty millions of Manitoba stock is
owned by Boston gentlemen, who are ct
the same time stockholders OF the Chi
eego, Burlington & Quincy. President
Minot, of the Eastern Minnesota, who
has just entered the Manitoba directory
as the representative Of the Boston party,
says there is no relation whatever be-
tween the two companies as corpora
tions, except that they have many stock
holders in common.

these sixteen it hes been known for some

and Vincent OF Buffalo-wsre for Hsrri-

New Orleans is not known about, and
Bishop Goodsell OF Texas is said to have
voted the prohibition ticket before on
one occasion. Bishop Hurst of Wash

gerald of Minneapolis has written tract
giving five reasons why he will support
the prohibition ticket. The remaining
three-Bishops Joyce of Chattanooga,
Andrews OF New York, and Newman of
Omahs-have now been heard from
They are strongly republican. Bishop
Joyce says: Il am republican in
politics, and shall vote for Harrison and
Morton. am a thorough bipartisan
probibitionist. The Methodist disci-
pl1ne on temperance is q non-psrtisan

is equally as decided. He recently ad-
dressed conference urging the mem.

sentiment favorable to the adjustment
of the liquor traffic, but in no wise to
connect themselves with the orgrnizs-

"In these supreme times, when 30 much

party made memorable by the nobless

on the field, and by the most beneficial
results In legislation to personal liberty

Dakota Farm Yn,uea


Huron Farmer and Stockmsn: In
estimating what they have made since
coming to Dakota our farmers should
not undervslue their lands, in which
they have acquired title by homestead
pre-emption, timber claim or purchase
and IN estimating the values they should
not give any great weight to the price
these lands would bring were they
placed on the market at once. The say.
ing thRr anything is worth .'iust what
it will bring on the market" does not fit
the case in speaking of western farm
lands, and particularly in DAKOTA at this
time when many are willing to sell from
necessity, not from any fault OF the land
or country.
These market values are now st the
very lowest notch possible, and foolish
indeed is the farmer who reckons the
actual value from these prices,
Farm values increase as population and
good farming increases. THIS being the
case let Dakots's population increase as
it will in the next ten yeers, and let our
farmers dc better and more thorough
farming and the market value of farm
lands will double or treble In the same
time, but these same lands are worth
just as much to-day for farming pur-
poses as they will be then, il the soil is
now thoroughly subdued.
And 30 We eay, farmers OF Dakota, in
reckoning what you ore worth, what you
have made or what lost since coming to
Dakota, estimate the value OF your farm
at what it is worth for farming purposes,
and not at the present low market
prices.
