CLIPPINGS FROM PIERRE CAPITAL.
A DEAD BEET.

now. The profound arguments ad-
vanced on the extraordinary occasion"
did it.
The farmer members fought hard to-
defeat the bill to increase the bounty on
beet sugar i'm this state. One strong ar
gument against the beet bill was the fact
that our fore fathers never raised sugar
beets, therefore it is an experiment a
dangerous one too.
Let the spirit that defeated this bill
control our legislature and many Of our
citizens will become adead beats for
want OF employment.
A HORSE DOCTOR.
"A horse doctor becomes famous while
sojourning at the capital, and is made
chairman Of the public health committee
of the house. This is sshat his home
paper says Of Representative Jilson:
Job Jillson has been appointed chair
man of the public health committee OF
the house. He was first -class horse
doctor here and deserves the promotion.
This is only another illustration of the
magnificent opportunities our state ex-
tends to her ambitious sons.
BOUND FOR HADEs.
The indecrats have been very busy
for the past thirty-two days driving nails
into political coffin for the exclusive
use of the independent party. The
coffin is nearly done. The structure is a
medley as well as curiosity and will be
viewed with intense interest as soon as
the workmen will permit the general
public to view their handiwork.
This will not be till the close of the
legislature.
The coffin is composed of the follow
ing materials: The bottom is antipathy
to corporations inlaid with ignorance,
conceit, and fanaticism; the sides consist
ofthe hides of farmer Legislators firmly
bound together by class legislation,
promised economy, and broken prom
ises; the cover is a transparent crystaliza-
ton of party bossism, blighted senatorial
aspirations, and worthless railroad passes.
At the close of the session the corpse
will be placed securely in its little home
but owing to the transparency of the lid
it can be easily viewed by the curious.
The corpse is composite likeness of
the independent party and it is said will
have the head, placid countenance and
intellectual expression of Wardall and
the body will greatly resemble that of
Cummings.
The last remains Of this mighty party
will lie in state until the next general
election in 1892, when it will be quietly
and tenderly inferred in it's political
grave until the resurrection morn.
A GOPHER TAIL STATESMAN.
Senator Preston's measure to increase
the bounty on beet sugar was objected
to the other day by Independent Senator
Abbott on the ground that it was un-
constitutional to give bounty. Sen
ator Preston made no argument on the
constitutionality of offering bounty on
gopher tails and wolf scalps, which the
latter had advocated in the senate few
days before. Abbott had nothing furth.
er to say, but the inference is that that
was different. If beet culture could be
made a success, some of those hated cor
porations might be formed in the state
to help the farmer dispose of his beets
but with reasonable bounty on gopher
tails Individuals could breed the little
pets to advantage, though there wouldn't
be enough in the enterprise to induce
those blcodthirsty capitalists to engage
in it on wholesale scale Brown county
farmers ought to be proud of theil
gopher-tail statesman, Senator Abbott
Mitchell Republican.
