THE republicans of Stutsman county
hold a strongly representative conven­
tion yesterday, and nominated a ticket,
that will be conceded a winner, for the
most part, if not in its entirety, before
election day closes. There were no un­
fortunate bickerings, or factional quar­
rels engendered by disturbing spirits, to
disgrace the occasion. The delegates
seemed to desire only the best man.Each
nomination had been well considered in
advance, and the merits of the candi­
dates thoroughly made known before
balloting. The nomination of 13. W.
Puller for the state senate on the first
bailor, was made atmd much enthusiasm,
and showed that opposition would be
helpless to defeat him before the people
of the county. He is regarded by many
as one of the few staunch men who will
back down in face of no danger, and who
Has at heart the welfare of the state, as
well as that of his own immediate con­
stituents. His personal friends are from
all classes, and his nomination is regard­
ed with a feeling of security and a belief
that no opportunity will be passed to
work as public servant should for the
people who place upon him responsibili­
ties and honors alike. The nominations for
the lower house are strong ones to a de­
gree. Mr. Cunningham is the first choice
of the western part of the county and is a
rustler who will do credit to his constit­
uents. Mr. Buchanan showed a strong
personal following and without combi­
nations of the usual character was nomi­
nated, after a hard struggle, on the
strength of his name alone. He will
make an excellent representative and his
candidacy will be favored by many ele­
ments.
The selection of the county ticket is
equally fortunate in the good nprnes
chosen. The republicans have set an ex­
ample this year that will unite the party
and strengthen it throughout the county,
and have placed the frown of disapproval
upon chicanery ami questionable
methods of party management generally.
The Alert will give its support to the
ticket and work for its election with the
cheering assurances that victory wilt re­
sult in November.
THERE is tonic in the atmosphere for
the farmers. The prevailing belief is
that an era of better prices for farm pro­
ducts has set in and that the whole
country will shortly feel the stronger
pulse-beat of prosperity. The price of
wheat alone is not the only indication of
this better feeling. Potatoes, corn, pork
and other produce are commanding
higher prices. Speaking of this decided­
ly favorable aspect as indicated by the
upward wheat movement, the Market
Record of Minneapolis says:
That wheat moves upward so easily
and makes as it did last week, an aver­
age of a cent a day is something out of
the ordinary course of the markets when
no manipulatiou can bo traced. The
truth
seems to he that there is a senti­
ment. in favor of higher prices that stops
at no trifles in the aggressive progress
toward the establishment of a better
range of values. There are those whose
ideas are bounded by the immediate sur­
roundings, that suppose it is because
Brown county in Dakota or some other
tias has a yield of wheat below the
average.
It is of very little consequence whether
the northwest has 87,000.000 bushels of
wheat or *Jo,00l),000 bushels. That counts
little more in the general make up of
prices than if the average or underage
were in some other country. The public
understands that there are things in the
air that go to make np a higher average
of values and without waiting to get all
the detaile, are investing. Silver cuts an
important figure. 410:000,000
in this country against
bushels
490,000,000
bushels last year, is an important item.
A few millions less in the United King­
dom than last year, is another.
Returns from South America are not
of the best in either wheat or corn, and
while the country of the Danube prom­
ises considerable, the exhaustion of the
past year will curtail its power some­
what. India had an under crop in each
of the last two, and there is little to ex­
pect in the way of excessive exports from
Australia. There is more general pros­
perity at home, labor is better employed,
cheep food in corn and potatoes is re­
moved and these with many other things
small in each but important when taken
together go far to make au encouraging
care for a better geneial average ot'
breadstuff values than last year.
THE last day of the canvass for repub­
lican county and legislative nominations
is at hand and when this appears the can­
didates' cases will be in the hands of the
primaries for decision. The light for the
senatorial nomination overshadowed all
else.The Alert confesses to a strong prefer­
ence for one of tho legislative candidates,
Mr. Fuller. It has advocated his return,
believing that he will be of more service
to this district than any man who could
be sent to Bismarck, and that he is more
thau entitled to it. The canvass, as far
as The Alert is concerned, has been con­
ducted fairly, honestly and without exhi­
bition of malice what has been said of
the motives of the opposition has been
stated plainly, without insinuation or
innuendo and has seemed plainly called
for. With the convention the legitimate
contest for the places should end, and re­
publican party strife should cease. The
welfare of the ticket is then of greater
importance than individual interests. As
a republican paper, The Alert believes in
giving every candidate a square deal.
The party can not afford to establish a
record for trickery and fraud. The party
in the county can not be too forcibly re­
minded of the grave importance of fair
dealing and a prompt recognition of the
will of the majority jt the voters. The
decision of any honestly and squarely
conducted convention will always be
final with good republicans, and, as with
The Alert, it will no doubt be so in tho
county convention of Monday next, the
nominees of which can re6t assured of
hearty support.
AMONG the laws that the last legislature
did not pass was that authorizing the
state board of equalization to make a tax
levy for the state. It will probably be
necessary for the board to proceed to
make the levy unauthorized, and they
have the choice of proceeding under the
old statute law which provides for a
three mill levy or under the constitution
which designates a maximum rate of four
mills. The latter plan will probably be
selected and the next legislature required
to pass the necessary legalization act.
Even with four mills there will be a
deficiency in the revenues.
There will be deficit in South Dakota
also, of some 6300,000, but the state board
has power to raise the valuation high
enough to cover the same. But a ques­
tion confronts them of raising other
classes of property as weli as real estate
and therein lies knotty point. Evident­
ly the constitution makers and the tirst
state legislatures in the Dakotas did not
half complete the taxation business.
The North Dakota board of equaliza­
tion is also confronted with the necessity
of raising money by taxation to meet a
large deficit in the state treasury. This
condition of affairs was plainly foretold
last winter, when the legislature was at­
tempting to provide revenues from other
sources than excessive taxation of the
farmers and business men. It is to be
hoped that the governor and his equali­
zing board will be able to devise a way
out of the difficulties without still
further increasing the burdens of the tax
payers. _____________
JUDGE ROSE'S decision on the original
package case appeals to every practical
person as good sonse and good law. The
people of the state can not but recognize
the farcial character of our constitution­
al prohibition. Tho gravity and import
anee supposed to attach to a provision of
a state constitution, become scattered to
the winds when the theory proves worth­
less in practice. Speaking of Judge
Hose's decision, the Pioneer Press ap­
proves of it as follows:
A decision of much importance was
rendered yesterday by Judge liose of
North Dakota. The law passed at the
ast session of the legislature prohibiting
the importation of liquors, which was de­
signed to emphasize the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution, he de­
clared unconstitutional, on the ground
that it involved matters beyond the con­
trol of the state. At the same time, the
judge decided that when the liquor is
sold in the state, it is amenable to the
state law. The decision accords with the
spirit of our American institutions and
the principles upon which republican
government in this country rests, and is
in harmony with decrees issued time and
again by the supreme court of the United
States. How long must it bo before
states understand that, singly, they can
exercise no authority whatever over in­
terstate affairs?
A LARGE convention assembled Wed­
nesday in Aberdeen to seriously con­
sider the project of irrigation by means
of artesian wells—the only practical
method. The necessity of a more regu­
lar supply of water for South and North
Dakota wheat fields appeals to all. The
narrow margin between a crop failure
and success could be eliminated by the
Cirtiinty of a comparatively small
amount of water at a given time. The
cultivation of immense fields now giving
a low average yield or entire failure would
then give wny to the tillage of smaller
tracts and a resulting larger yield per
acre.
In the Aberdeen convention samples
of irrigated grain from Huron, Hitch­
cock, Groton and Frankfort, were ex­
hibited and showod excellent rosults.
The convention discussed tlio subject in
nil its bearings and began a movement
that may bo productive of lasting good.
Director Powell of the geographical sur­
vey, showed his fantastical knowledge of
practical irrigation by endorsing over
his portentious signature the Missouri
river canal lunacy.
tho time t'n seed wheat lien bill
passed the legist /u-v uiany doubts wore
raised us to the cv/iu-aiiutionality of the
law. The elevator companies themselves
admitted the doubts, but it was thought
the law would have some effect as a
moral restraint. The lions are prior
claims to all incumbrances, as they can
be assessed against the land and col­
lected as taxes if not paid. It is said a
test case will bo made by loan companies
to determine the validity of the law.
Much uncertainty in regard to the mat­
ter exists, which will be still further
complicated by short crops and inability
of many parties procuring seed to return
same. The seed wheat commission will
have a good deal of fine work to do if
they collect tho grain advanced without
other assistance than the law.
THE Edgeley Mail is authority for the
statement that "the alliance will take in­
dependent action this fall. We have seen
a letter from a prominent official saying
that a convention would be called prob­
ably in the latter part of September.
Only the convention itself will tell the
plans, but it is almost certain that John­
son will not be endorsed. The alliance
realizes that to him they owe their de­
feat at Grand Forks.
Tho above movement, if made, will only
show tho weakness of tho organization as
a political factor in the state and demon­
strate the fool-hardy lengths to which its
present leaders can go in trying to boost
the fortunes of certain ambitious "states­
men."
lilli
THE railroad commissioners are in
hopes to adjust some of the difficulties
in enforcing the grain and license laws
of the state, and to effect this by the de­
sirable process of arbitration. It is said
that a proposition has been mado to the
elevator companies whereby if they pay
the state license no county license will
be required and no bond need be given
by tho companies who will have what
additional protection the board can
afford them in transacting a storage bus­
iness on the old plan. Public announce­
ment of this compromise is expected at
any time. The necessities of the state
may have had something to do with this
agreement, if such it be.
SPEAKIXG of tho efforts of certain
North Dakota republicans to split the
party iines with the octopod. the Aber­
deen, South Dakota, News says: To ar­
ray men of th-A party as lottery and anti
lottery, will weaken the organization by
driving one faction or the other out.
There is nothing whatever to be gained
by keeping up this lottery distinction.
Besides the platform commits the party
and Burke's letter of acceptance empha­
sizes the attitude, i^et the whole miser­
able business drop. Unless the demo­
cratic party desires to step forward as
the champion of the lottery, the issue is
dead and should be buried. "Get to­
gether." _____________
IN LaMoure county politics it is noted
that the Edgeley Mail gives it out cold
that the Farmers' alliance will rally to
the support of J. T. Butler for register
of deeds. Mr. Butler is said to be one
of the best qualified men in the county
for the position and is still further
deserving as the past history of the
alliance men in that county shows they
have not as a rule been place hunters
themselves, but support the right man
for tho right place. In this the LaMoure
alliance sets an example for other coun­
ties, which if followed would strengthen
tho organization and insure the public
competent and honest officials at all
times.
HON. M. N. JOHNSON has again public­
ly declared his strong opposition to lot­
teries. He has always been opposed to
them, and at a time when, as ho says, it
took courage to be that way. The Fargo
Republican has been demanding that
Mr. Johnson declare himself this sum­
mer again. Mr. Johnson is not so mer­
curial and shifting in these weighty
matters
ns
I
the Republican would lead
one to believe. The demand that Mr.
Johnson should again explain this posi­
tion, for fear of disastrous consequences
to the public, comes with peculiar grace
from the Republican.
TIIE census shows that three townships
in Montcalm county, Michigan, are al­
most deserted. Their losses in six years
were 979, 808 and 356 people. Emi­
gration and discontinuance of the lum­
ber business are responsible for the de­
crease. The same story is told of Ver­
mont, Maine aud New Hampshire—old
states with every attraction ot contigu­
ous civilization. With all the hard luck
of frost and drouth no portion of the Da­
kotas has ever been entirely depopulat­
ed. The faith in our eventual prosperi­
ty is too strong in those who Know our
resources.
THE people of Pierre are making a
harder fight for the permanent capital
J'-1
L'
location than was anticipated. Head*
quarters have been established in Aber­
deen, and the entire northern part of the
state is to be actively canvassed. Rail­
road assistance from the north seems
coming to Pierre's relief also. The
Northern Pacific road lias given Pierre a
bond in tho sum of 8200,000 to have trains
running from Jamestown to Pierre, via
Aberdeen, by December of this year.
The boom in the Huron prospects is a
little less distinct than before.
THE Grand Forks Plaindealcr thinks
tho speediest way of obtaining relief from
the prohibition law is to strictly enforce
it iu communities where the eentiment is
strongly opposed to prohibition. The ex­
perience of the past has proved that to
bo a heroic remedy very difficult of oper­
ation. The farcical and unjust features
connected with municipal nou-enforce
ment are by many believed to bo the
best arguments for the relief desired.
The law laid down by Judge Rose, un­
til reversed, points out an exit—legal if
tortuous.
IT is to be hoped that an extra session
of the legislature will not be necessary
to help the state board of equalization
raise money for the deficit in the treas­
ury. As a champion of the farmers, Gov
ernor Miller ought to devise some scheme
to meet the difficulties that beset the
administration without adding extra ex­
penses to the tax paying citizens this
year.
SENATOR PIERCE'S oft'-haud way of
takiog the public into his conildence in
an interview, is a rare accomplishment.
He fears tho Great Northern road, the
Northern Pacific road, and like Mr. Hans
brough, is timorous about that lottery
spook. All are brain-sickly things—
moonshine on a window pane—Falstaff's
rogues in buckram suits.
THE Fargo Republican seems to hold
that no one who was an anti-lottery man
can ever be a republican any more. Its
lottery mark is to be tho only tost in the
future by which the genuine republican
cau be distinguished from the spurious
The Republican must be talking for
others—not for itself.
THE new census for tho Twin paciders
is now being taken, and the anxious in­
habitants are getting ready lists of absent
friends, dead relatives and exposition
visitors, to hand to the bright and capa­
ble enumerators, who
are named Macduff,
and d—d be he who first cries hold
enough,
IT is no childs play with the republi­
cans of Wisconsin, even if Gov. Hoard is
re-nominated on the issue to stand by
the Bennett law and the cause of the
"little school house."
THE republican stale committee met
yesterday at Fargo and selected Jr.dson
LaMoure
for
1 1
chairman. A number of
the nominees on the state tickct were
present.
TIIERE is no such English word as
octopus, anyhow. IT is octopod and
neither has any further significance in
this country.
The Woman Politician.
Bismarck Tribune: A Fargo reporter
had the nerve to call on Mrs. Laura J.
Eieenheuth, the democratic nominee for
state superintendent of public instruc­
tions, and found her a most accomplished
lady, showing nothing of the "strong
minded" characteristics of many of her
sisters. While she possesses the knowl­
edge, education and ability necessary to
fit her for the position for which she has
been nominated, she is very modest in
speaking of herself. To tho question
"are you a democrat?" she replied, "I
am a democrat, but not a partisan, and
while I desire the success of tho demo­
cratic party and firmly believe in the
principles set forth in the platform
adopted at Grand Forks. I must say that
only so long as they are right can I en­
dorse or act with them." "Have you
any hopes of election?" "I think nothing
about that nor do I make any calculation
as to my action in the matter. I Jiavo
accepted the nomination and am here to­
day to meet theexecutive committee, and
shall follow their instructions in an effort
to secure ns many votes as possible, aud
abide by the result whatever it may be."
Do you think you have the sympathy of
the ladies of the state?" "Yes, I believe
every lady in North Dakota, without ex­
ception, would be pleased to see a woman
elected to the position. They may talk
differently, perhaps, and class mo with
the ambitions, strong minded women of
the United States but at the same time
I am confident that should I be success­
ful in my candidacy every woman in the
state would rejoice."

Advices from Jeddah state that the
cholera which broke out among the pil­
grims returning from Mecca originated
with the Hindoo passengers and sp. ead

"The First Step."
One of the prettiest and most popular
engravings cf the day is that entitled
"The First Step." It represents si curl y
haired,chubby-cheeked toddler, forsak­
ing the support of a chair, and hasten­
ing with shaky steps towards the
mother's outstretched arms. It brings
up tender memories in every father's and
mother's heart. Moralists lecture us
gravely on the importance of the first
step in life. The end of all is,—"start
right!" The start in getting an educa­
tion, the start in business, the start in
society, should bo carefully made,—and
the start on a journey should bo on "The
Burlington," if its lines reach any point
near your destination. East, south or
west, no matter iu which direction, it
will "get you there" safely, comfortably
and quickly. For tickets, maps, and
time-tables, call on any agent of this or
connecting lines, or write to W. J. C.
