Taking advantage of the exceedingly
bad weather we have been having
lately, party consisting of Mr.. and
| Mrs. A. A. Courier, Mr.. P. Wessman and
Miss McAfee, decided to make a pill
| grimage to the Cow Greek Lakes and
slaughter several hundred of the ducks
and geese that are known to abound
there at this season. All DeLamar and
a portion of Boonville had their mouths
fixed for feast off the aquatic fowls
that were to come in by the wagon
load; but alas for human expectations!
The party was armed and equipped as
the law directs, with fine breech-load-
ing shot guns, neatly and securely cased, |
but when they arrived at the scene Of
action, where the birds were fairly fan
ming their faces with their wings, not |
one in the outfit knew enough about the /
anatomy of a gun to put it together,
and they came home without firing a

Stitutionally belongs, is the one inn
portant demand, above all others,
upon which we must insist. In the
hands Of a corporation this is power
involving the greatest danger to the
liberties Of the people and the safety

Legislation or there may not. 1t can
scarcely be believed that any act cal
culated to interfere with the present

pective candidacy for reelection.
Anything that may be done in this
line by the Democratic party will be
understood as q bid for southern and
western votes, and it will be done
with the certainty that such acts will
never become law. While any tink-
ering with the present law is as dan
gerous to one party as the other, the
Democrats may have an understand
ing with their Wall street bosses that
a bill may pass the House as a sop to
southern and western voters, knowing
all the while that a free coinage law
is impossible under this administra-
tion. Such tinkering will fall SO far

Two weeks more Of winter remain
and the House Of Representatives has
passed the bill making appropriations
for the support of the West Point Mill
tary Academy, for the year ending June
80, 1893. The bill was champloned by
Hon. Joseph Wheeler, Of Alabama, who
Is the second member of the committee
on military affairs, and he defended the
most generous appropriations, fortifying
himself In the following screed:
The board earnestly commends the mill
tary academy to the fostering care Of Con-
gress and the liberal support Of the people.
It Is the only national military school we
have, and nothing should be left undone to
maintain it's high character, promote it's
efficiency and increase its usefulness. Ma
tional pride, high regard for the common
defense, and sound public policy require
that its equipment shall be thorough, and
that the highest patriotism and best talent
should continue to characterize its direc-
ton. Its graduates In the past have met
every requirement of the public service,
and there can be no manner Of doubt that
should occasion arise West Point win in
the future meet the expectations Of the
American people. No consideration Of
economy should be permitted to thwart or
delay the furnishing of proper supplies and
equipment 90 utterly needed to place the
military academy abreast of similar institu-
tions in other countries.

FROM A REPUBLICAN STANDPOINT.
The articles now being published
in The ADVOCATE from the pen Of 81.
A. Higgins exhibit a thorough knowl-
edge of existing conditions in this
country. Mr.. Higgins stated in his
first article that he is Republican,
and the subjects he is discussing, it
must be understood, are presented
from the standpoint of Republican
writer, though it must be admitted q
writer far in advance Of the panty of
which he declares himself q member.
We are curious to see the remedies
he will propose for the evils and the
wrongs he is now describing, and the
manner in which he will suggest that
those remedies are to be applied. At
present we confess our inability to
see any remedy from a Republican
standpoint Mr.. Higgins will be at
forded the opportunity, however, to
present his views in full, no matter
how widely they may differ from our
own. Whatever he may have to say
cannot fail to be interesting, and we
hope it may continue to be logical to
the end.

succeeded in persuading her to go to the house;
but Just as she came around the corner she
espied one of our boys-little Billy Bowser-
advancing upon a chicken coop, in which was
the last and only hen remaining on the prem
ises. The coop was small structure. ABOUT
3x5 feet in dimensions with door about IL
inches square and two feet from the ground.
As Billy opened the door the old hen retreated
to the back end of the coop, aud as Billy tried
TO reach her with his feet on the ground, and
the upper half of him in the coop, his position
certainly offered the old lady golden appor-
tunity for an attack in the rear. So ar'ning
herself with a cypress clapboard, she mmedl-
ately advanced upon Bily's works, and whack,
whack. she let him have it. Billy was now on
his mettle, and, nothing daunted by the old
lady's bombardment swore that he would bring
that chicken off with him or die in the attempt.
In order to get hold OF the hen he crawied clear
into the coop. Quickly the old lady shut the
door and fastened it, and through crack be-
gan to punch Billy with the end OF her clap
board. Billy seized hold of the board and
pulled it away from her, and called on the
boys (who were looking on in high glee and
cheering the old lady on to come to his rescue.
When we opened the door Billy came out cling
ing TO the chicken; but the boys decided that
after such gallant battle the old lady was
entitled to keep her hen, and Billy. very much
crestfsllen, returned it to the coop.
This little AFFAIR over with, our next move WIS
to travel down dat dim road tru de woods" We
soon came upon the 40 big fat hogs and rail
pens full of corn, Just as our colored friend had
told us. After we had been down there about
80 minutes. Staying the hogs and loading them
and the corn into the wagons, the old Kun
mel" appeared on the scene, aud apparently
with great agitation of mind began to warn us
of impending danger. " Gentlemen" he said.

Immediately became panic stricken, and COM

from Pierre the State Capital. irhey have rail-

of the East. AS nine out OF every 10 are old
comrades, it is not good place to unfurl the
dirty stunken rag of treason" The beautiful
land of the Winnebagoes was recently thrown
open to settlers for homestead entry. No
better land on the face of the earth can be
found for the raising of crops than there. The
writer says that the comrades can get $50 acres
of that land, from one to four miles from the
depot If any of the comrades would sooner
indulge in stock raising, it is the III Dorado OF
