No Trouble There.
Some time, ago the Ellendale Rec
ord published a short editorial to the
effect that Insurance Commissioner
Fancher, nominee for governor on the
republican ticke t, would have to ans
wer to the people for the fraudulent
Fessenden Insurance Company. Mr.
Fancher's attention being called to
the matter, he says:
Bismarck, N. D. Oct. 1J th, 1898.—
The Western Mutual Fire Ins. Co. of
Fessenden. N. D., is a domestic mut
ual company, duly organized under
the laws of this state. They filed
articles of incorporation with this de
partment Feb. 6th, 1898, and having
complied with all the laws of this
State governing the admission of
such companies they were duly
authorized to do business here. The
officers and directors of the company
are well known business men of the
central part of the state. Every
complaint coming to the Department
has received prompt attention and so
far as the Department is advised has
been promptly adjusted. There are
no charges ou file against, the com
pany, they have complied with all the
laws, and under these circumstances
the Commissioner of Insurance has
no authority whatever to interfere in
their business. When they violate
any of the laws of the state or their
articles of incorporation the Insur
ance Department will take prompt
action in the matter.
This is simply another evidence of
cuteness on the part of the Opposi
tion press. Anyone reading the item
from the Record might easily con
clude that the Commisioner of insur
ance "stood iu" with the stuffing
methods of the company's canvassers.
The facts show it up in an entirely
different light.
Fargo's New Hotel.
The papers for the contract for
the Wise Hotel are being prepared
this afternoon. Bids were opened
Saturday and contractor Bowers was
the lowest. There were a few changes
in the contract and plans and the
matter hung fire until this afternoon
when Mr. Wive will probably award
the contract to Mr. Bowers. The ho
tel will have 130 rooms, 100x140 feet,
four stories high. There will be
twenty three (tins of iron iu the
.structure. The plans show one of
the we
[lest hotels in the country.
Tho lobby is a thing of beauty, and
will be one of the attractive features'
Mr. Wise is having his 'wu ideas af
convenience and comlort embodied
in the plans and will have a building
that will eclipse the old Columbia,
or any hotel the Northwest has had.
THE NORTH DAKOTA PRESS
F. B. FANCHER,
Commissioner of Insurance.
The facts of the operation of the
Fessenden Compauy in this county
as the Republican learns them are
about as follows: Solicitors repre
senting that company cauvassed the
county last spring for insurance.
They took signed applications from
farmers which proved to be iu the
form of promissory notas. Men who
supposed they were only getting in
surance for one year and on the crops
of this year found, on receipt of
their policies, that they are for five
years and covered several times the
value of the property. If a man ac
cepts and keeps that policy when it
is sent to him he will have to pay for
it. The fraud of this company con
sists in putting onto a man five times
as much insurance a$ he has any use
for, getting him to accept it aud com
pelling him to pay for it. The in
surance department could not inter
fere in cases like this. If a man asks
for $100 insurance and the company
gives him a policy for $500 ti3 can re
fuse to take it and that is the end of
it. But if he accepts it of course he
would have to pay for it, and the in
surance department of the state would
have no business to interfere in the
matter at all.
Victory for Mankind.
It is a mistake to suppose that
continental Europe has failed to dis
cern the moral and physical influence
which the United States is beginning
to exert in the world's affairs. The
Frankfort Gaz ette, which is one of
the most important of all the German
newspapers published outside of Ber
lin, in an editorial disussing the
social and political condition of this
country aud the causes and conse
quences of the recent conflict, asks,
'"What would have happened had
Spain triumphed in the war?" and it
answers that "national darkness,
narrowness and corruption would
have prevailed, and everywhere the
world the advocates of political and
clerical absolutism, which he Span
ish governmental system breeds and
fosters, would have gained new and
important strength. But this has
not happened, aud lor these reasons
it can be fairly said that the victory
of the Quired States is a triumph for
progress and a gain for mankind."—
Bismarck Tribune.
With a Fine Tooth Comb.
The fusion leaders have been very
industrious iu their endeavors to find
some act of Fred B. Faucher's dur
ing the many years he has been pro
minently before the people, whereby
they can campaign against him, but
their efforts have not been rewarded
aud they never will be, because his is
a clean record all the wav through—
O
from territorial days to the present
time, and after having served in vari
ous public offices. As presidin6
officer of the Constitutional Conven
tion he demonstrated that he was the
right man for the position and won
the respect and admiratiou of every
member, performing his duties well
and faithfully. As insurance com
missioner during the past four years
he has placed the affairs of the office
iu a business form, as thsy never had
been, aud has conducted the office
in a manner satisfactory to all. Fred
Fancher as governor will be just as
able and honorai. le as he has always
been aud his absolutely clean record
during the p^st, entitles him to
the votes of all honest men who
believe iu good government.—Valley
City Alliance.

Editor
Speaking of Mrs. Moffet,
Duulap, of Valley City says:
"The womanly woman, she who
does what duty calls her to do is ad
mirable. Editor Moffet of the Bis
marck Settler is in the Philippines as
captain of compauy A," In the
course of his jouralistic career Capt.
Moffet had trouble with certain pub
lic officials and others in the capitol
city, his office was raided and other
unseemly things were done with a
view to driving him out of town.
When the North Dakota troops
started for the war, Capt. Moffet
went with, his company aud lett the
Settler in charge of Mrs. Moffet, who
has since conducted it. A week or
so ago the Bismarck Review made a
scurrilous attack upon Uaptaiu Mof
fet and inadvertantly upon Mrs.
Moffet. Iu last week's Settler ap
peared this touchingly beautiful sen
timent:
"If you would live the happy, help
ful life, abandon the art of fault find
ing and cultivate the art of apprecia
tion. It is far easier to criticise
suberbly than to do the smallest
deed well. None of our neighbors
are perfect, aud you do not show your
own per lection by flinging stones at
iheir imperfections. J.he better way
is
•'Be to their faults a little blind,
Ami to their virtues a little kind."

He Will Get It.
Colonel Greet of course, took in
the Grand Forks street fair, and inci
dentally strolled over to East Grand
Forks, where he met several of his
constituents, one of whom, some
what under the influence of spirits
frumenti, addressed the colonel with:
''Shay, Cr-eel, whacher runnin' fur,
anyway?" "Oh, nothing," retorted
the colonel, curtly. "Well, you'll
get it, sure," responded the searcher
for information. The gang "smiled"
and Creel settled.—Fargo Call.
Fancher is Speaking.
In his speech at Valley City Fred
Fancher, the republican nominee for
governor, said that as it had been de
clared the policy of demo-pops to
confine their campaign to state is
sues, he was willing to take them on
their own ground. He then reviewed
the financial affairs of the state for
the past six years. When Nomland
took charge of the state treasury
there was, including amounts sub
sequently collected by him, and de
ducting bilis contracted by the
previous apminisiration, $159,000 in
the general fund. When he went
out of office there was an overdraft
and unpaid bills After making de
ductions the balance against the
populist administration was $245,000
aud all the taxes. Nomland fought
the law squiring the interest on
state funds to be turned into the
treasury aud had it set aside. He
kept the interest. During the repub^
lican administration the interest on
state funds had gone into the treas
ury.—
Using Dirty Weapons.
The fusion party h. adopted the
factics of an old scold for the coming
campaign instead of confining itself
to the practices of political pai ties,
It makes no effort to discuss national
issues. It recognizes the fact that its
calamity howlers of two years ago
stand forth in the light oi subsequent
events as rank demagogues.
It makes no effort to discuss state
issues. It recognizes the fact that
the republican party has redeemed
this state from baukruptcy, that it
has kept its promises to the people
of this state with regard to every
public mersure under consideration,
as for instance, the prohibition law,
the railroad law, aud the assessment
of railroad prop. rty.
It makes no effort to attack the
public record of a siugle state officer
from governor down. But instead of
entering the legitimate field of poli
tics it resorts to attacks on the private
life and personal character oi the
republican nominees. The fusion
ists are resoitiug to the refuge of the
beateu—mudshuging.
Evidently the party has reached
the last stage of its existence, and as
it slinks away, whipped, discredited
tattered and torn, it can only work its
mouth and make a wry face at, the
men whom the victorious republican
party has chosen to represent its
principles aud carry out its pledges.
