stitucnts above caucus decrees, gave
Mr. Harrison a bad turn when
that gentleman attempted to bull
doze the doughty Xebraskan into
voting for the Force bill, by tell
ing him plainly that he was very
decidedly opposed to the measure
and would certainly vote against it.
Mr. Harrison then made an ineffect
ual effort to get Mr. 1'addoek to
promise that lie would be absent
himself when the vote was taken.
As a last, resort to get the repub
lican senators into line Mr. Harri
son is said to have stated to several
of them that: he would consider the
defeat of the Force bill an intima
tion that they did not wish hint to
be a candidate for renornination in
'92. This is a very dangerous argu
ment for Mr. Harrison to use, anil
it will probably Jesuit in making
more votes against, the bill than in
its favor, lor it is doubtful whether
there is a half oozen republican
senators who are sincerely in favor
of giving Mr. Harrison another
nomination.
A republican causus has voted to
change the rules of the senate in
order to push the force bill through.
'The program is to debate the bill
the rest of this week, then to take
up tl.e new silver bill approved by
the same caucus, and pass it in its
present condition, if the wicked
democrats do not succeed in substi
tuting free coinage therefor: after
wards the change of rules is to be
adopted, if though republicans can
bikersuilded to vote for it.

Honest li«if£nry.
Kditor Wolfi of the Milnor Teller,
takes a turn al the beggary fjues
tion.and The Teller being published
out of the valley, proper, is worthy
of reproduction in this matter
Congressman llansbrough has
asked congress for an appropriation
of half a million dollars to'aid the
destitute farmers of the Dukotas in
procuring seed grain for another
year. Some of the (Jrand Porks and
l-'.-irgo papers accuse llansbrough of
doing the state of North Dakota an
injustice bv thus advertising her
destitution. They go upon'the same
theory they have always acted upon,
that North Dakota is the west side
of the lied liiver Valley and no
more. Now, that particular por
tion of North Dakota has never
known a total failure of crops. It is
the oldest settled portion of the
state and would not, be destitute
even if it, had. Its farmers have
become rich from the fertility of its
soil and their own industry and we
are all proud of them luit'the truth
is that the Red liiver valley is only
a small portion of North Dakota.
There are just six counties in it.
West of these counties in the wheat
belt of the state, there are twenty
six counties as rich in fertility as
any the world can produce. In
these twenty-six counties the fail
ure in eighteen last year, (T.SS9),
was total and in the other eight
partial. This year, (1X!H the fail
ure in sixteen counties has been
practically total, and in ten partial.
The tarmers in. these counties are
new settlers who have come here to
make for themselves homes and
competencies. They are honest and
industrious and have lived econom
ically. One failure of crops they
bore as bravely as men might but
two successive failures they can not
bear without assistance. '.Many of
them own plenty of property to sup
port their families, but the monied
investment seekers refuse absolutely
to loan theni a dollar on their farms
no money can be borrowed on
their chattels bceause ihe usury law

If, as the "Argus" says there are

millions and ask them to grant, out

would be a benelicence and the man
should be honered at home and

The intention of Senator jKoar is,
evidently, to force the, federal elec
tion bill through the senate. Not
content with alienating many
thousands of 'Republicans by a very
unwise tariff measure, the Republi
can leaders in congress propose to
continue the work against their
own great party by cramming a
measure down the party's throat
which is certain to prove a disturb
ing element to the country if en
forced, and will surely still further
injure the Republican party. It is
absolutely certain that by no legis
lative liat can the Republican party
get political control of tlie South
ern states. That has been thor
oughly tried and it was a failure.
Measures like this election bill will
insure the solidarity of the South,
and arrest the current movement
to break it up. The only opportun
ity the Republican party has to
build ii]) a strong constituency in
the South is through the division
of the Southern vote. Senator

It lias long been the desire of thl
Republican bosses to thus handicap
the people, and this being the first
time in years that they have
secured all branches of government,
it is hard for them to give up the
idea, and may pass the bill—in
