The youth of America will learn with
dismay that the cigarette manufac-
turers of the country have formed a
trust under the name of the American
Tobacco company. No more will the
seductive picture card accompany each
package of the seductive drug. IL is
announced that the sole object in
forming the combine is to stop the
waste of money rendered necessary by
the tremendous amount of advertising.
Great ingenuity has been displayed in
originating attractive devices and often
the cost of the souvenir has nearly il
not quite equalled the cost of the ciga-
rettes. If after dropping the picture
card business. the trust will force the
price up out of reach of boys, il will re-
ceive the hearty appreciation of the
American people, much as they dislike
the generality of trusts.

tobacco juice on the cook stove hearth,

we hope every one of the members
will vote as he resolutes. Among
other things which these genuine

decide on is that they don't want
any free whiskey while sugar is
taxed. They also endorse the Sub

as every sensible laboring man in

GARY, S. OAK, March 18th, 1890.
DIR. FISH:
The enclosed "roast' from the
WATERFOWL Journal, of those pa
triots who are anxious to immediate
themselves on the altar of their
country for five dollars a day and
mileage, and free pass over all the
railroads in sight, seems to be 80
near a center shot at the bulls eye,
that / send it to you. South Da-
kota is not the only state where
these patriots are found, but when
we do find one, it is a good plan to
lay him by for future USE. e., for
future roasts. Yours very truly,
JOHN LATHRoP.
''We have members of the legisla-
ture who have resided in South Da-
kota for ten years, but never been
honOred by a free pass over any rail-
roads or favored with a personal
visit from the officials of said corpo-
rations, until they were elected to
the Legislature. Why do these rail-
road officials take such deep interest
in the members of the legislature?
Why are they SO generous with pas
ses and favors to our representa-
tives? Are these passes any less a
bride than their equivalent in gold :?
Don't the members receiving said
passes know they are intended as a
bride? If So, they are not fit men to
represent the people; if not, they are
incompetent to represent and should
no longer disgrace an intelligent con-
stituency. The people are watching
the present legislature, they know
that they will betray either the rail-
road, or the people. During the
Tweed reign in New York Judges Car
doza and McCann were impeached
and removed from office for receiving
brides. 1t seems that our people
lave degenerated since the days OF
Tweed. We no longer exact justice
from the servants of the people, but
allow our members of congress and
state legislature to barter away the
rights of their constituents with i'm
punity, in South Dakota. A legisla-
ture was elected last fall who were
pledged to enact such laws as should
protect the people against the un-
just determinations of railroad,
warehouse and other monopolies
laws that should be just to the peo-
pie as to the corporations. No soon.
er were the representatives and sena-
tors elected than they were provided
with annual railroad passes over all
the roads in this state. Many OF the
members were visited personally by
railroad officials who took a great
interest all at once in their farm oper-
ations and wanted to see for them
selves how the cattle and sheep in.
dustries flourished in South Dakota
These things are well known to the
editors of the various papers in the
state. Why are they silent? We
can only answer by comparing them
to the jury that tried a man fol

The movement against the devel-

in other directions. Promises made
by Sprague all over the state
were unkept. Appointments, by the
hundred, were untilled-two or three
at the same place. They dashed
cold water upon the GREAT WEST
until the G. w. brought them to
their knees, and then they wanted it
badly enough to seek to get it by un-
scrupulous means.
About that drought them to their

let the truth appear in the courts,

Scheffer scheme because of our
threatening to expose him.. and he
