The Christmas Festival.
The people of llichlnnd county en-
l/ 's ter upon the Christmas season with
the greatest possible satisfaction with
|lhe bounties of the earth, under the
providence of the Creator and Giver
of fevery good gift. The observation
of Christ's nativity is becoming the
one great holiday throughout civili
zation, and if men are to earnestly
observe this day, it must be with
that !#pirit which teaches "do unto
others as you would that they should
do to*you." And since the destiny
of this.religion depends so completely
upon the growth and education of
the children—this day is, how largely,
the children's day. No person of the
right disposition need scarcely be re
minded by' The Times o£ his or her
.duty, for it is comforting to aid an
other look about and make the
^children happy with the present and
hopefuI of good to come, your own
child and your neighbor's child aid
/and lift up the deserving in overy
'•direction, maintain for the right
between man and man take tender
care of the sick and helpless. This is
the simple religion taught by Christ,
and it is not only good enough, but it
is wiiat constitutes a christian and
renders this day complete to that
service for which it is inter.(led.

The removal of the Walter A.
Wood's Harvester works from IIoo
sick Falls, New York, plant valued
at four and a half million dollars, em
ploying 2500 men, is a-straw which
shows how the commercial winds
are tending. The east will likely tip
up the coming summer.
That was rather a mean spirit in
Editor-Postmaster Johns
on of ilie
Lisbon Star, to exclude from the mails
the Lisbon Gazette's issue, for con
taining a church fair drawing, when
he admitted his own paper, the Star,
containing the same thing. These
seem to be the facts, and it was a
small piece of business.
The "Ilev." ''Editor" and "State
Alliance Lecturer," named George
Muller, erstwhile tinkling through
the columns of The State, an Alliance
paper at St. Paul, has skipped. It
was lie who first published the
famous
"Hold Your Wheat" circular, at the
instigation, undoubtedly, of twin city
bulls on the wheat market. Muller
organized a stock company to publish
The State, and having bled Alliance
leaders considerably, has skipped.
The bar of the state sustains a
severe loss in the death of Wincent
S. Stone, who died at Los Angeles,
California, Sunday, of consumption.
Mr. Stone was a member of the law
firm of Stone, Newman an$ Jtesser
of Fargo but a regular practioneer
before the district court of this-coun
ty, and always elicited the prises of
all who came within hearing of his
voice, socially or as a finished lawyer.
Hia place will not be easily filled.
All will sympathize with the bereaved
family.
fe .'Now that the people commence to
pay their taxes for this year, a good
deal of complaint is heard about the
action of the State Officers, regarding
the construction of a law passed by
the last Legislature. May 16th, 1891,
the State Auditor sent out a circular
informing the County Officers that
the law passed last winter providing
for the exemption of $200.00 on.each
personal assessment, would be opera
tive for 1891, and should be deducted
after such assessment had been re
viewed by the County Board. The
Assessor with this understanding, in
a good many cases and especially
among the poorer class, assessed the
personal^property rather high, telling
the tax payers thata deduction of
#200.00. would be made in each cj»se.

jsfeeen made* another circular was

THE STATE PllESS.
Messrs. S. C. Issors and 51. U. t'ilage

(Grand Forks
News.
•v*
Grand Forks Herald—lion. N. K,
Ilubbard and Judson LaMoure have
each contributed 8100 toward ex
penses of the Republican convention
at Minneapolis.
Grand Forks Herald—It is now
claimed that Dr. Nelson who was
burned to death at Oakes committed
suicide by pouring kerosene over
himself and setting fire to ft.
Grand Forks Herald—The me
moiial to congress adopted Saturday
by settlers threatened with eviction
by the Great Northern has been for
warded to the North Dakota con
•essional delegation.
Grand Forks Herald—J. P. Kings
land 1 saw no less than twelve
steam threshers at work yesterday
between here and Drayton. Farmers
are making the most of these fine days
to pound out what wheat still
threshed.
At
Grand Forks Herald—The Sargent
County Teller doubtless from misin
formation grossly errs in its state
ment of evidence in the Rev. Grillitli
case recently on trial. The Teller
confuses testimony of the prosecution
with that of the defense and repre
sents the defendant as admitting
charges which lie expressly denied.
Fargo Argus—Senator Ilansbrough
gives it as his opinion that the title
to the disputed lied River lands is
ahsoliitt-'ly in the railroad company
hence the bruden docs not rest upon
the settlers, but upon the govern
vernment. It is for the government
to see that the settlers who entered
the land in good faith, come to no
harm.
Fargo Commonwealth—Much is
said by Republicans that is con
temptible regarding the l'aet that
Senator Kyle's seat in the senate is
on the Democratic side. The sena
tor's scat was not of his own choos
ing. Besides, Senator Pettigrew very
discourteously declined to conduct his
colleague to the chair—as is always
the costum in the sepate.
V:
Milnor Teller—Tin: Waiipetox
Times advertises a lot of election
stickers for sale cheap, saying that
they seem to be useless on account
of the new Australian ballot law.
The Teller made a county coinmis
sioner in the First district this year
with thoso same little stickers, and
beleives it can be done again unless
they nominate the right man.
M. A. Iliidreth in Argus—My
opinion is that neither Cleveland nor
Hill will be nominated by the Demo
crats for president^. In case Cleve
land is nominated Boise, of Iowa,
will, be on the ticket as vice presi
dent. My personal choice is Flower,
of New York, and he would carry the
eastern states with a rush. Flower
is one of the finest men personally,
that I ever had the pleasure of
knowing.
Fargo Republican—The ladies have
a perfect right to shower bouquets
and confectionery on the murderer
Remington, if their tastes run that
way, but the action smacks strongly
of sickly sentamentality. Ladies,
has the cold-blooded murderer of
Plett, earned your respect and favors?
Should not your tears
and heart-aches
come from sorrow for the widowed
wife and orphans rather than sym
pathy for the proven murderer
attorney Lindsay in Argus—I was
in St. Paul la3b night and met and
talked with a reporter about half an
hour before I left for Fargo. When
I .arrived home this morning at 5:30,
I found my paper in the storm shed.
I took it to my room and, laying it
down, the first thing I saw was my
name on the telegraphic page. I
looked at the article, and found it
word for word as I had given it to
the reporter the evening previous,
and here it was in our Fargo morn
ing daily before I got home. Gather
ing news is getting to be quite a
system.
Turtle Mountain Time3—"It don't
pay to advertise," is a frequent say
ing among business men, yet those
men succeed the best ad^rtise the
most. It i$ but a shorfc.time ago
that we approached a business man
tld not be in Bolla for an«'ad,*' "Oh, I don't
reverse believein advertising, oo body raids
fy.jun't them," *ras his remarket ifwe had
^wm\ f.
him, and stuck it off in one'corner of
tiie paper, it would have been read
and he would have been after us with
a sharp stick. It is a mistake to
think that people .do not read adver
tisements in a newspaper.
v*
Milnor Teller—Cleveland is surely
in the soup. Bierly went to Wash
ington to beat Grover's man. Mills,
and lo, beaten he was. Bierly set
out a few years ago to do up a Rich
land county Democrat named Pur
cell and for three years the columns
of the News were full of libels about
him. Last fall, however, the News
gave Judge Purcell an excellent
write-up and, for once, told the truth
about liiin. The secret of the change
of heart leaked out afterwards. Pur
cell subscribed for the News. If
Grover isn't wise enough to take his
cue from this, he is until to be presi
dent.
II. C. Southard in Argus—If the
stono discovered at Dickinson is suit
able for building purposes, and from
all reports 1 think it is, we shall use
it upon the foundation of the state
world's fair building. Dickinson
will furnish the brick which is
needed, and also the tiles for the
gables of the building. Almost the
whole of the material for the build
ing can now be shipped from the
state. It is our wish to have as little
as possible com from outside, and
we thirtk very little will be needed
The development of quarries at
Dickinson will be a geod tiling for this
section of this country.
Grand Forks Herald—In summar
izing the business of the state banks
of North Dakota. Hank Examiner
Wallace finds that October
Casselton Republis.tn—Mr. Ilildret'i
gained for Joe K-niingt m, all that
the ablest lawyer in the country
could have gained for him—imprison
a 1 if an
lievcs the (-nils o( justice would have
been better subserved hy young
Remington's execution, for it is to lie
found that as time passes away and
the memory of the atrocious crime
which ho committed, begins to grow
dim in the minds of the people, a
morbid sympathy may lead a well
meaning but misguided persons*to
use their inlluence to procure for
him executive pardon. There is
always danger that such a creature
may bo turned loose from the peni
tentiary upon society to repeat the
crime.
V*
Milnor Teller—Rev. S. N, Griilith,
the 59-year-old Methodist preacher of
Grand Forks, has just been acquitted
of the charge of assault with intent
to commit rape on Susie Morgan, a
little nine-year-old girl. He admitted
on the stand that he puts his arms
around her, hugged and kissed her,
asked her if she would go swimming
with, took her in his room and held
her on his lap, but protested that he
contemplated no wrong and took no
greater liberties with her. The trial
lasted four days and while the jury
saiu he is not guilty, fair minded
men believe the little girl djd not'lie
As the jury was out over 20 hours it
is evident that some of it3 members
believed her story, too.
Turtle Mountain Times—W. It.
Bierly ot Grand Forks, is in Wash
ington and according to dispatches is
there to fight Mills for speaker of the
house. He states that the Democrats
of North Dakota have had enough of
Cleveland. Wonder who authorized
Bierly to voice the Democratic party?
It would be better to have a repre
sentative Democrat than a mugwump
to say what the party wants. The
Democrats have several of the ablest
men in the United States to choose
from for president, and if the choice
should be Cleveland, all true Demo
crats will support him. Or, if it
should be any of a dozen, that are
spoken of, they should receive the
hearty support of the party in this
state. If Cleveland gets the nomina
tion, we don't think that Bierly could
infiuenco a dozen votes against him.
Grand Forks Herald--'The grand
jury now in session at Sioux Falls
are investigating the'officials of that
city. It has been a practice of the
city government to collect a license
of $27.50 from each saloon-keeper,
