Republicans should stick to the

have a personal greivance against
some of the nominees, talk and work
for the whole ticket. The time to

ALL FOR TOM MARSHALL.
IT
is gratifying to note the practi
cal unanimity with which the voters
of all parties' in this county are for
Tom Marshall for United States
senator. If the matter were left to
the voters of the county he would
get ninety-nine votes out of a hun
dred all over the county. So general
is this feeling that a mistake is apt to
be made by voting for Thompson and
Webb with the understanding that
they will not oppose Marshall, and
will vote lor him. In this we are say
ing nothiug against either Mr.
Thompson or Mr. Webb. It has
been reported that they are both for
Marshall and will vote for him for
senator, and it is a vote for Marshall
either way. We have no reason to
doubt that the report is true, that if
Mr. Thompson or Mr. Webb should
be elected they will take pleasure in
casting their votes for Mr. Marshall
for United States senator, knowing
that there is no show for a man from
their own party. But even if all this
is true, those who want to see a
Dickey county man in the United
States senate should cast their vote
for Peek and Kennedy, because these
gentlemen will not only be able to
cast their votes but will be able to
participate in the legislative caucus,
which will be of more consequence in
the matter than the fiual vote. This is
the reasonable and sensible way of
looking at this question.
Governor Clough of Minnesota is
made of the right kind of stuff for an
emergency. He called on the war
department for troops to protect the
settlers against the Indian uprising,
aud when his request was refused by
the red tape suckers, he very prompt
ly told the department to go to—the
state of Minnesota would try to get
along without any further assistance.
The governor immediately called for
volunteers, armed them and sent
them to the irout. One man like
this is worth a dozen who are afraid
to move without orders.

HIGH WATER MARK.
Republican Candidates for the Legis
lature Have all Been Nomin
ated in the State.
The Johnson Strength Shows Much
Less Than Half Instructed
and Favorable.
This is Believed to be All He Will be
Able to Get in His Favor in
the Legislature.
The nominations for members of the
legislature are now all made, and
some idea can be had of the sena
torial situation, Congressman John
son has had his machiue workers at
everr legislative convention, with a
set of Johnson resolutions and en
dorsements ready. With all his
wire pulling and official influence,
promises and threats, he has suc
ceeded in getting very few members
instructed for him.
As Mr. Johnson has made a
thorough personal canvass, aud has
asked for endorsements at every con
vention, it is safe to his
strength today is less than twenty
four of the necessary forty-seven
votes. The balance of them, if uot
instructed for some other candidate,
are opposed to Johnson, so that he
will not be able to gain any more
strength than he has now. Notwith
standing these facts, Mr. Johnson
will not admit that he is out of the
race. His friends know, aud he
should know, that he has finished
his fight, but like Jeff Davis, he will
continue the battle as long as he is
able to fight, trusting in providence
after everybody on earth has gone
back on him.
This however does uot insure the
election of any other candidate.
Johnsou operated from the stand
point of his own machine—as a John
son man—while all the others men
tioned have made no canvass so far,
but will go before the legislature
simply as republicans, aud abide by
the consequences. Burleigh county
will present the name of C. B. Little,
aud the twenty-sixth district has also
instructed for Mr. Little, but with
out being asked 10 do so by him.
Richland will probably present the
name of Mr. McCumber and Dickey
county will present the uame of Mr.
Marshall. Neither of these gentle
men have sought recognition
through any of the legislative con
ventions, though no doubt if they
had employed the machine tactics ot
Mr. Johnson, some of them could
easily have got fully as many votes
as Mr. Johnsou has. At the present
writing Mr. Marshall has by far the
best outlook for success.
North Dakota .correspondents to
the Twin Ciiy papers have changed
their tunes somewhat and now com
ment on the situation in the follow
ing vein:
The legislative conventions have all been
held, and Johnson has exactly twelve in
structed for him. The number of Johnson
men who are not instructed will not exceed
six. This puts Johnson's full strength
within the twenty mark, as stated in my
previous letter, and leaves him twenty
short of a caucus majority. It is conceded
by leading politicians that Jshnson made
a gieat mistake in trying to get instructions
in the several districts.
He has developed his full strength, and
disclosed the fact that, although his organs
have declared he was the "logical" candid
ate, the people have not responded to any
great extent. The great falling off in
Johnson's vote two years ago and four years
ago shows his weakness with the people.
They have grown weary with his persistent
demand that he must be ijrovic ed. for be
cause he was a Norwegian. This is the
only claim he ever had for popular favor,
and it is quite evident that the humiliating
habit of the republicans in beingobliged "to
do something for Johnson because he is a
Norwegian," is soon to pass into history,
with other rejected political methods. The
republicans of North Dakota have always
made a fair division of the oifices among the
Scandinavians. The principal county of
fices are held by them, and the state tickets
in the past have been made up in their
favor. There are four Norwegians on the
present state ticket, and the Norwegians, as
a class, would be satisfied and happy over
their representation were it not for the
un-American policy of M. N. Johnson, who
makes a business of nationality politics.—
St. Paul Dispatch.
The result of the Ramsev county con
vention does not show up as favorably for
the interests of Congressman Johnson in
the senatorial tight as had been anticipated.
It is uuderstood that Johnson, who was in
town the day the convention was held, had
the instructions ready but the prospects
were not such as would encourage their be
ing presented to the gathering.
There is an interesting inecc of talk circu
lating around the state in connection with
the senatorial fight. It is claimed that
Johnson in his desire not to bring into an
tagonism to himself nil of the elements
opposed to Editor inship of the Grand
Forks Herald in keeping away from the
Herald editor and has not paid him a per
sonal visit during the past two months. The
statement is made that thu4 Herald's ardent
support of Jolmuoii and atthesnnc time its
refusal to support all of the candidates on
the republican state ticket is likely to be
I'
misunderstood by many republicans as the
attitude of Johnson, that such is what John
son fears, and just exactly what he is en
deavoring to nvoid. Some prominent
republicans" who claim to bo friendly to
Johnson's candidacy make th* statement
that the Herald is championing Johnto and
at the same time refusing to support some
of the republican nominees will do Johnson
harm within the party. The fact, that Mr.
Johnson has not visited Winship or the
Herald during his many stops recently in
Grand Porks is taken as evidence by several
of the leaders in the party that Mr. Johnson
coincides with this idea, and that he if fight
ing shy of becoming too much identified
with the Winship element.—W. E. Davis in
the Journal.
NOT TO BLAME.
THE Republican has beeu able to
run down a curreut rumor that is go
ing aiound the couuty iu regard to
tde administration of lohn Stewart
in the otfice of couuty treasurer. It
It seems that some oue has sent to
Mr, Stewart to find out what the
taxes were on a certain piece of laud.
Mr. Stewart has replied promptly,
giving the taxes for the curreut year,
as shown by the books iu his office.
It has afterward beeu found that
there were unpaid taxes against the
land for former years, of which Mr.
Stewart has said nothing, and he has
been blamed for uot showing all the
unpeid taxes against such piece of
land. The facts of the case are that
the tax list is made out by the couuty
auditor and put into the bauds of the
county treasurer for collection on the
first day of November. He keeps it
for one year, when he returns it back
to the auditor and gets the next one.
The records of his office do not show
any back taxes at all, aud he has no
way of finding out what the back
taxes are except by going into the
auditor's office aud going through
the records there. Mr. Stewart has
always looked up aud furnished a
statement of the back taxes when it
was asked for, but. unless it was it is
customary to only give a statement
of the taxes for the curreut year. This
is in his own office, and takes but a
few minutes time. The [back taxes,
beicg in another office and extending
over a period of seyeral years, some
times takes over an hour to look one
up. Mr. Stewart further says that
if he should undertake to look up
the back taxes on every inquiry that
comes into his office it would take
the work of oue man all the time.
The tax .list for 1898 will be iu the
county treasurer's office from the
first of November, 1898, until the
first of November, 1899. after that it
remains in the auditors office, aud
the tieasurer has nothing more to do
with it than the register of deeds. It
is easy to see how the pubiic gener
ally might get a wrong impression in
regard to this maiter. and blame the
treasurer for not giving them all the
information asked for, and we make
this explanation to show that the
treasurer is uot to blame.
BE FAIR.
It is always right to be fair with
everybody. And it is only fair to
the ladies of the W, C. T. U.. and fair
to the republican papers that are
abusing those ladies for their action
in the Halland case, to honestly
admit that were circumstances re
versed and the ladies' warfare directed
against the fusion nominee instead,
those same republican papers would
laud the action of these same ladies
to the skies as one of the noblest
efforts for the maintainance of a high
standard of official and public moral
ity and purity ever witnessed in our
glorious land of glorious women.—
Grand Forks Herald.
Not upou your life, Mr. Herald. It
is not a question of politics, it is not
even a question of the morals of Mr.
Halland. It is a question of the low,
degrading, demoralizing, unmanly,
unwomanly, inhuman, venomous
business of ruining the character of a
man and a women by publishing a
scandal. There is nothing iu such
action to "'laud," but everything to
condemn instead of being a "noble
effort" it is even more degrading to
those who engage in it than those
against whom it is directed. A man
may do wrong, but "the maintenance
of a high standard of official and
public morality and purity" was
never furthered by publishing his
wrong doing for the express purpose
of inflicting an injury upon him.
You who are professedly members of
a christian society, have wandered
farther from the teachings of Christ
in publishing this [scandal than Hal
land has—if all you say about him
is true. When some of you come
face to face with your maker iu tha

A USELESS LAW.
THE Fargo Sunday Argus pub
lishes the fuil text of the bill that
passed the legislature last winter
and was vetoed by the governor,
kuown as the temperance commis
sioner bill. We have carefully read
the bill es published Jin the Argus,
aud canuot see anything in it except
thirty-three hundred additional sal
ary for three more officials iu the
state. We have laws enough now
for the suppression of the liquor
traffic, and legal machinery plenty
sufficient to enforce the laws in com
munities where it is possible to secure
a conviction. There are commun
ties in the state ^vhere the people
who live there are so strongly op
posed to the prohibition law that it is
almost impossible to get a jury to
convict an offender. In those com
munities the temperance commission
er, under that bill, could do no more
than the states attorney. Iu com
munities where the sentiment of the
ipeople is in accordance with the law,
the present legal machinery is good
enough, if thfi temperance people—
those who are crying for a temper
ance commissioner--will propose a
law that makes the selling an offense
against the state, organize a special
state court to try them instead of the
district courts which are held iu each
county, we are with them. But it is
simply of no use to try a liquor case
before juries who will bring in a ver
dict of not guilty. We can't see
where a temperance commissioner
would help the matter along any.
Will some one explain.
A BOND syndicate has begun suit
against Secretary Gage of the treas
ury department to compel him to
award the syndicate the issue of war
bonds, which he has refused to turn
over to them. When the bids were
received they were investigated, and
it was found that a syndicate had
been furnishing money for "straw"
bidders, the bonds to be turned over
to the syndicate. The treasury de
partment got onto these fellows, and
living up to the spirit of the law to
place these bonds among the people
in small sums, refused to issue the
bonds to the bidders for the syndi
cate. The bonds are now at a
premium, and the profits of the deal,
if the syndicate wins its suit, will be
about $200,000. It does not look
from this action that Secretary Gage
was working for the plutocratic bond
holders.
THE
editor of the Havana Herald
wants the boiler inspection law—if
there is any—to be under the civil
service instead 'of being a political
appointment, for fear some incompe
tent will get the job. When Chr.
Gorder was boiler inspector six years
ago there was no complaint about
incompetency, and there are lots of
good men in the state who are
capable of inspecting a boiler. The
real thing that is wanted is some
kind of supervision that will make
the running of steam engines com
paratively safe, it don't make any
difference whether it is republican,
populist, democrat or prohibition, as
long as there is safety.

Hade a Sneak.
The Knights of the Globe were
completely surprised last Monday
evening by a party of lady friends
who succeeded in passing the guard
and taking possession of the banquet
hall.
The boys had prepared a banquet
in the ante room, and only one or
two knew of the presence of the
ladies. They were therefore all the
more surprised on entering the room
to have the ladies greet them with a
welcome. They were equal to the
occasion, treated the ladies to music
and some elegant toasts and invited
them to come again but to send
notice of their coming in advance.
How She Wanted to Sleep.
A 2-year-old girl who had been in the
habit of sleeping in stockings to keep
her feet warm was very much opposed
to having them removed when warm
•weather came. She cried out, "I don't
•want to sleep in my toes!"—New York
Sunday World.
Prosperity iWded Him.
"I thought you you saW pros
perous times ahead."
"Well, I thought, t-lid, but the heir
ess I had my eyes on wouldn't have
me."—Chicago Post.
The Right Thine.
Longgreen—I want to fix my money
so it won't be fought over.
Lawyer—That's all right. You just
leave it to me.—Detroit Free Press.,
So Fascinating.
He—What do you find so fascinating
about surf bathing?
She—Oh, merely the habit!—Brook
