The time has arrived when the 8. d.
Press association should elect n
president. lii. man now holding that
position mas forfeited all claim to any
hv..urs at the hands Of Dakota or
i,;.so,a's people. In return for the
many kind words and we'll wishes Of
tie brethren of the press of Dakota that
G. w. Hopp carried with him when he
went TO s,cdro,W ashington, he mallgns
the fraternity and misrcnresents the
country. Here is what he says in bis
paper of May %:
The chief occupation of Dakota edi-
tors at this time il to act as conductors
of lie factories and publish mortgage
foreclosures, by which the farms are
being sold from under their poor, UNI
| fortunate constituents. They can say
nothing good of their W country,
except magnify little dew drops into
heavy rainfalls, and to modify hurrl-
canes of wind into gentle, bainy breex-
es.
Nine cut Of every ten of their constit-
uents are hoping against hope for a
crop, for upon tins alone hangs their
hope of selling out their interests in
the drouth striker country. They
are now living upon the charity for
neighboring states. not excepting WASH
inyton. and scattering upon their fam
ished land, seed grain g iven by the be-
nevolsnt people of Washington and
other states. The single resource Of
the na'Sn.as. barring lie little corner
in which the Black Hills are situated
is agriculture. This one has
partially failed for several years, and
last year it was a total failure in many
localities. A failure of crops this yea:
which. we reyr.! to say seems iminent
and the mortgage-riadcn farmer must
either sit down and %starve, live another
year on charity. OF turn his back
upon his mortgagcl possessions and
walk out in search Of bread.

that the male voting strength of Del

contested election" and such elections
usually bring out a full vote. vii!
the Oelrichs papers explain? If tins be
the true condition we don't wonder
that Jones is cross. 1t is hardly the
fair thing that a man like Jones should
be permitted to aiilict 4; community
with a so-called newspaper until he has
nearly 9epcpulated it. by the way
Jones faited to scud us a copy of his

Candidates for the various Offices

Candidates for the various Offices
seem somewhat modest this year. So
far the STAR knows of no one that is
seeking nomination for the legislature
at the hands of the republican panty.
Mr.. Jas. bradley has been mentioned
for that position but the STAR does not
know that he would accept if rendered
the nomination. Mr.. d. would be a
strong man, is a farmer and could we'll
represent that fraternity: we believe
that other interests would he fairly
befriended and looked after by him.

The Last Confederate War Horse.
From the Baltimore american.

LYNcHBURG, VA, Dec. 24.-The last con-
federate war horse is supposed to have died
three days ago on the farm of his o. ner.
Col. r. I. Craighill, near this city. 'Stone-
wall Jackson" was his name, but he was
always called "Old jack for short. He was
80 years old, and did service during the war
from the spring of 1862 to the end of the
war. He received three wounds in battle,
and his owner intends to bury him where
he died, and erect monument to his men,
Dry. From the autumn of 1868 to the close
of the war "Old Jack" served as riding
horse for Lieut.. James B. Craighill of Col.
William Nelson's artillery battalion, now
the Rev. James B. Craighill of the diocese
of Maryland

PREPARED FOR ACTION.

Stripped to the waist. the principals con-
fronted each other on the floor. and accepted
the weapons from O'Connor. 1t was ap-
parent to few sober minded witnesses
that the men would hesitate at nothing.
and slight protest against the duel Went
up, but was instantly howled down.
O'Connor gave the signal, and the sabers
of the principals clashed together.
For moment the blades were locked.
and then, by an alert movement, Riordan
recovered MS weapon, and sprang back on
the defensive. White with rage. ODav
attacked his adversary with a savage en-
ergy. Rlordan parrled every thrust with
ease, and the onslaught fell fiat. Again
and again the blades came together, but as
vet neither of the combatants had gained a
point. Notwithstanding the bravado of
the men, it was obvious that both were ex-
pert swordsmen.
