Editor Shannon Of the Huronite
asks if it is to be understood that
29o votes were cast at Chamberlain
against instructions are to he set
down as favoring bosses and ring
rule. No, not at all, Bro. Shannon,
but it must be remembered that ell
parties have in them men who de-
sire to run the whole party in their
own interests--in other words--be
party bosses; that such men have in
the past shown their hand, that at
the convention there were a few
l%ieutenants Of the same men whose
desire it was to dictate to the repre-
sentatives of the people what they
should do,and that those %lieutenants
were among the 295, and that they
received a rebuke that they will per-
haps remember. The voice of the
people will control the destinity Of
the republican party in South Da-
kota. Let all would-be bosses
and their lieutenants take notice,

The Independent press need not
exhibit so much anxiety about the
republican candidate for governor
in this state. Ofthe several gentle
men who have been mentioned as
probable candidates, there is not
one, to our knowledge, who is not a
good practical mainland at all events
the nominee will be a citizen Of the
United States,a gentleman identified
with interests of South Dakota, and
not a manipulation Of preferred
stock" Of a foreign syndicate.

With this issue the COURIER passes
into new hands, but there will be
no change in its political principles.
We will do what we can toward the
advancement Of the principles OF
the republican party, but our es-
pecial aim will be to work for the
interests Of the county and city in
which the COURIER is published.
To build up, not tear down; to
strengthen, not weaken the claims
of this section Of our fair young
State-its veritable garden spot-as
a locality well suited to those who
are seeking homes in the great and
growing northwest, will be our am
bition; and to this end we invite the
cooperation ofall who are interested
in the material and moral progress
OF Union county.

Twelve years sgo we took the pc,
elton that if a city over-rides n ma
iority county vote >under local OPP
tion) and establishes saloons then
the city alone should be taxed for
all costs arising from prosecution OF
crimes committed by drunken men
and traceable to saloons. II there is
a financial gain, as argued and be-
lieved by many good citizens, the
city alone profits by it and should
not saddle the costs onto the whole
county. This is now being urged
upon legislatures in states having
local option. Such a law would
soon show the falacy of the financial
argument.

THE
TIIahY, APRIL 70, 1851
Official Paper Of City and County
A PARTING WORD.

With this issue Of the COURIER We
end our immediate charge Of the
paper, and turn it over to Mr.. J. A..
Ross, formerly Of Woonsocket.S D.,
who has leased II with the in
tention to buy ON the first Of jan
uary. The new editor is experience
ed in the newspaper line, comes
well recommended rs a writer ,schnl-
ar and sincere republican. He was
a classmate OF Prof. Mannix, for
merly Of this city, while in college
and has been principal OF the Woon-
socket schools several years. We
feel certain that we can promise II
readers a much better paper through
him. Being q stranger he will need
the corporation OF every friend OF
the COURIER by the sending in Of
items OF news and otherwise. We
hope also that the business men will
consider that the income ofthe print
er il small at best aud therefore
stand by him well in job work and
advertising. You a no more have
a growing city without a live paper
than without churches; therefore
everybody should contribute some
thing to some local paper--the more
the better.
In the fifteen months Of editorial
management Of the COURIER we
have gained many warm friends and
many bitter enemies. We owe the
former many thanks and carry no
grudge against the latter. The cir
culation has grown steadily for
nearly a year, the confidence in the
paper among thinking people is
steadily increasing, and Of business
patronage we can not think but that
increased circulation will give in
creased advertising. We leave the
business because we have felt the
lack Of mechanical knowledge Of the
printers trade, and not because we
ure either scared out, driven out or
worn out. Mr.. Ross will attend to
all business just the same as we have
formerly aud he will receive back
subscriptions and subscriptions ios
this year. And,by the way, let each
subscriber appoint himself a COM
mittee Of one to clear up HE own
account and pay a year in advance.
We reluctantly leave Elk Point after
residing here five years and Union
county after having been a resident
thereof for twenty-three years. We
| hope to meet most OF our friends
betimes, however, at the Bank oil
| Northwestern Iowa, at Hawarden,
where we go TO accept a position.
To the editorial fraternity Of the
state and county we bid adieu and
leave nothing but good wishes.
Respectfully,
ANnpEw RING.

The Sioux Falls Press is the best
daily in the state, and but for its
attempt to override and trample in
the dust the a~nti-salonn law of the
State, il would deserve the support
of every republican in South Dako-
ia. But, when a journal of the
standing OF the Press openly advises
and encourages .he saloon and hole
in-the- wall men in the defiance OF
cold constitution; and when it says,
in effect, that city with a character
is above the supreme law OF the state,
it can not expect, at least it should
not expect, the patronage of that law
loving and conservative people of
the commonwealth. When the
course it takes receives the applause
Of the violators Of law aud de-
bouchers Of humanity, and the OPP
position Of ministers, mothers,
daughters and Christian people gen.
orally, it,has nothing to be proud OF
ia the victory for which it has
prostituted its columns. The senti-
ment Of the Sioux Falls Press and a
majority, it appears, Of Sioux Falls
voters, is against the enfocement of
the %anti-saloon law, and thefore
they propose to set the law at
naught. That is saying that ifa law
does not meet ones approval he
need not obey it. That was the
position OF Justice Blackstone in
his great commentaries as to certain
laws that did not meet the approval
Of certain religious sects. But every
commentator on Blackstone says
one cannot override a statutory en-.
actment and not commit q moral
sin. We don't mean to compare
the Press Editor to Blackstone, he
woIld better be compared to necessi-
ty, but we do mean to sa, his course
has been a shameful one and will
have its effect. If the blood Of q
Haddock stains its curbstones with.
in q year, it must remember that il
openly and brazenly invited the law
Ices element 10 shelter ii its city.
