GEO. P. GARBED, Publisher.
WAHPETON, NORTH DAKOTA.
SOME energetic penny-a-liner has writ
ten a life of Sitting Bull. All that the
rascally old warrior now requires is a
monument to make him a greater man
than General Grant.
IT was not woman's curiosity so
much as man's which sent ex-Em
press Frederick to Paris to sound the
temper of the French people. The
sound was no uncertain one.
IT is reported that Gen. Sherman de
clared that he would not have a more
costly monument than a $75 stone.
If this be true, thesubscription for the
Sherman monument in Now York will
doubtless be zealouly pushed.
CHICAGO has secured a copy of the
first printed bible at heavy cost. This is
in keeping with her ambition to be at
the head of the procession. The good
l\ book will now go upon Chicago's
3* Centre table and become a charge to
J/ the wielder of the leather duster.
WHEN they make up their tickets
over in Canada they are required to
state on the ballot the occupation of
the candidate, as Charlus Brown,
farmer John Sleeknoswi, gentleman.
In this country tl^ "gentleman"
would have a slow race in opposition
to the farmer or ^Mechanic.
THE present base-ball war is ap
parently /beyond the diplomacy of
even a general Miles, but it is a long
time ^mtil the season opens. They
will/ stop the ghost dance and get
d£wn to business when it is time to
'gather in the ducats from the public.
THE amendment to the British elec
tion laws, based on the "one-man,
one-vote" principle, which prevents a
voter from voting in more than one
electoral area, has been defeated in
the House of Commons. The British
subject can therefore continue to vote
at general elections in every county
and borough where he may happen to
hold a house.
IN opening the new Spanish Cortes,
the Queen announced that the exist
ing commercial treaties with foreign
nations would not be renewed but it
jvould be necessary to establish cus
toms relations with them on fresh
bases. Her Majesty doubtless had in
mind the proposed reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Cuba,
..and wished to prepare the way for it.
THE critics are poking fun at Thom
as Wentworth lligginson because his
latest poem makes "morning" rhyme
with "dawning." Well, '•morning''
rhymes with "dawning" in Boston be
sides, if Tennyson is permitted to
rhyme "Penelope" with "Cape of Good
Hope" and "whisky" with "Paris,
Ky.," why may not Mr. Higginson's
Bostonese patois be overlooked?
THE idea of raising the stars and
stripes over the school houses of the
country originated with the late Gen.
Sherman, and every state in the union
should adopt the practice as a tribute
to the memory of the dead soldier.
Sherman was one of the linest ex
amples of a devoted patriot, and if
our school children can be infused
with his spirit our country is safe for
all time.
WHO would have supposed when
John Wesley died that the sentennial
of his death would be marked by the
erection of a statue to the great dis
senter in the city of London, and the
delivering of a magnificent eulogy of
him by the scholarship of Westmin
ster. Yet both was done this week.
The world moves a long way in a
hundred years.
TELEPHONE communications will
«oon be established between London
and Paris. The charge for the use of
the instrument will be ten francs for
a three minutes' conversation. It is
to be hoped that those having occa
sion to use the 'phone will agree on a
a language with which both speaker
and speakee" are familiar, otherwise
there is a likelihood of there being very
little show for the ten francs.
No details of the Australian election
law recently adopted by the Arkansas
Legislature have been printed, but so
far as the reports of its provisions go,
it appears to embody the essential
features of the Australian system,and
it does not impose any educational,
property or poll-tax test. It even
provides an officer whose duty it is to
prepare ballots for those who are illit
erate or physically incapacitated for
.voting,

So They "Forgive."
The Chicago Inter-Ocean: Many ofthe
Southern papers have commented on Sher
man's death in a spirit of fairness some of
them have spoken appreciatively of him as
one of America's gieatest soldiers, but the
Columbus (Ga.) Sun says:
In his operations in this state, he con
centrated all the brutalities, and called up
all the horrors of war. But it was largely
old men, women and children who trem
bled and fled before the sword and torch
which he upheld. The brutal treatment of
helpless people, the ashes of Atlanta and
the desolation that marked his march to
the sea, were the records of his prowess as a
soldier. It was barbarism, but he said it
was war. It was war,but in summing up ther
character of the man who inaugurated it,
Georgians cannot forget it nor give him
praise lor it. His policy was not the policy
of that greater soldier, whom the North
idolized and the South forgave.
"Forgave," indeed! Did the woman who
was told to go in peace and sin no more
forgive her absolver? When the helpless,
hopeless, hungry South surrendered with
out truce or terms, when Grant dismissed
its erring, but valiant, soldiery to their
homes upon the one condition that they
should return, resume their plows and their
trades, "not to be molested so long as they
obeyed the laws and constitution of the
United States," was it expected that in less
than the lifetime of a man the whole South
again should bid open defiance to the laws
and constitution, and should boast that in
1865 it "forgave" its conqueror?
The terms granted by Sherman to John
ston's soldiers were even more magnan
imous than those which Grant gave to
Lee's.' The lately departed general of the
armies of the ration was as tender in peace
as he- was strong in war. The South
never had a better friend than Sher
man,. never will have. We regret
such demonstrations as several of the South
ern journals have made concerning the
death of Sherman. We regret them ex
ceedingly. We regret all Southern dissen
sions from that perfect nationality which is
evidently the recognition and enforcement
of "one law,, one element," in all parts of
the country. There cannot be two para
mount policies in- two sections ofthe coun
try. That which- hath been is that which
shall be the doctrine of the widest freedom
and the deepest loyalty to tho nation ulti
mately will prevail in all tbe states. This
was Sherman's creed, it is ours, and it is
the creed- ol the- North,, though the South
may not believe so.. The South did not be
lieve that the- creed of the North was na
tional until-the dreadful voice ot the sword
announoedit.
The Sad Boar.
Short Stories:: A- florist shop in the city
of Philadelphia.
A, lady,.apparently about thirty years ot
age, dressed soberly in black, enters, and
approaching the proprietor, who is behind
the counter, demurely asks:
"Does any. one ever use those floal pieces
that I-see in the window as wedding pres
ents?"—at the same time indicating by gest
ure that she referred to mementoes of im
niortelles conspicuously displayed.
'Well," answered, the floristr somewhat
astonished, "that is a.use to-which I have
never before heard ot their being put still
I know- of iio reason why they could not
be so -used, if. one desired* to give such an
emblem, as a token of esteem at such a
time. What design would you- think of
using?" setting on the counter such em
blems as Gates Ajar, a harp and a lyre.
"I hardly know, continued the lady,
"still, I. think possibly this one might an
swer, "picking up the iyre.
"What, inscription would) you wish on
it?" asken t-he florist..
"Thesad hour.''
"Is not that rather sombre for such a joy
ous occasion?"
"Well, it might be, .ordinarily, but the
fact is simply this: The gentleman to whom
I wish.to send it and myself were engaged
to -be married, and he is now about to mar
ry another lady so if you think the im
mortelles that you:put in it will last a long
time, 1 will take this lyre, and have the
motto—
"THB 8AD HOCB,"
just as-large and prominent as-ever you can
make it."
To this the polite florist replies that he
had-no doubt but that the- immortelles
would:last as long as could.be desired.
The lady left, composed and satisfied.
The emblem waaflnished.
in strict accord
ance with the order, andi promptly deliv
ered to the address given.

What the recipient said may be recorded
in .heaven, but is- not known on earth, and
the florist and his-oustomer still live.
Changing Names.
Chicago Mail: It may surprise you to
know that then is quite-a degree of regu
larity observable- in assuming fictitious
names—Certain peculiarities which are to
be expected in the false- name which serve
to indicate thatiit is-not'the real name of
the man who.claims it.. Ot course, when a
man deterriiines-to adopt a fictitious name
there is no way to. predict what the new
one will be but it is-pretty safe to guess
that it will possess certain known charcter
istios.
If you have- not-investigated the subject
yon.very likely-itnagine that when "John
C. Brown" fiuds it necessary to assume an
other name he is- likely- to become "George
T.Jackson." W.ell,. this-is- not the case.
More than SO- per oent of fictitious names
have no change except ini the surname—
"John C. Brown!1 beoome "John C. Baker."
Weil,, of course,, this-is only another case of
the ostrich hiding herself by covering her
bead..
Sometime the-middle initial is changed.
Bnt the middle' name generally remains
it is the last to ROJ And'wben it does go it
generally is replaced, by another name hav
ing the same initial. Here, then, are the
changes to be looked for in the sequence in
which they usually are fonnd: "John C.
Brown" becomes "John C. Baker." then
"John W. Baker," then "James C.
Baker." Ninety per cent of the fictitious
names assumed to escape detection contain
at least one-of the-initlals of the man's true
name.
It isn't an. easy matter for a man to change
his name. A name cannot be drawn on
and off like* glove- It is born witha man
and seems to. be part of himself. Even the
worst criminals usually cling to their real
names—changed in some respects, true, but
not completely changed. ''Billy the Kid"
never becomes "Jack the Terror."
Thompson's Foolish Colt.
Chicago Mail: I met the oldest in
habitant the other day, and among other
things the old gentleman told me that
although people who are "as foolish
as Thompson's colt" can be found in
all parts of the earth, Thompson's, colt—
the veritable foolish colt whose idiosyncra
sies have become known the world: over—,
belongs to Illioois.
"I knew Thompson very well," said he,
"'and also his colt. Both of them, lived at-.
Canton, 111., a great many years ago..
Thompson was a trader and dealer in horses,
and mules. He never was looked upon aa,
a bright fellow, and ultimately traded him-^7*
sell out of all his property and went to
sjuash financially.
"His colt gained notoriety through a sin
gle occurrence, or, rather, a single story
tor tbe yarn itsell never was generally be
lieved. Thompson insisted that he one*
saw his colt deliberately awim across the
creek, climb the further bank, shake tho
water from his coat, turn around oand drink
out of the stream, and shortly alterward
swim back across the creek.
"Whether the story had ^refoundation
other than an unusuallfr"^ *$vuagtnatiou
I do not know, but it gfus Ba to the fam
iliar expression, 'As iooiiSH as Thompson's
