OAKES, NORTH DAKOTA, NOVEMBER 25, 1898.
Has Borne Fruit.
Senator Marahall's work for the re
publican party has borne excellent
fruit in his home and adjoining
counties.—Fargo Call.
And His Name Is Harshall.
North Dakota's pepublican major
ity insures the election^ of a United
States senator to succeed a democrat.
—St. Louis Globe-Denncrat.
Nine Spots.
The pop members of the next leg
islature will be of the same value in
that body, that a nine spot is in a
game of seven up—neither high nor
worth a d—for grme.—Dickinson Re
corder.
Industry Counts.
Tom Marshall is not letting any
grass grow under his feet just now.
He is industriously circulating among
the legislators-elect in the interest of
his senatorial candidacy.—Grand
For ks Herald.
Strictly in Line.
North Dakota has gone solidly re
publican, and at this distance it looks
as though Tom Marshall, of Oakes,
was strictly in line for the United
States senate. Tom has been edging
along that way for a gieat many
years, and we hope he will land the
plum this year.—Groton Independ
ent.
Co-Operation Wanted.
The Buffalo Express hits a nail on
the head when it talks about miser
able ready prints at an exorbitant
piice. If, instead of trying to get
full legal rales for those insurance
statements, the boys would use their
efforts to get decent "iu sides" at a
reasonable cost it would be better for
them and a whole lot better for the
public.—Tower City Topics.
Good Backing.
Senator Marshall can now go to
work for the United States senator
sLip with a strong heart. Dickey
county has said in no uncertain tone
that it wants this honor and at the
same time says emphatically that she
wants Tom Marshall to use every
honorable means to secure the plum.
Mr. Marshall has an excellent oppor
tunity for success in the senatorial
contest and is backed up unanimous
ly bv his constituents.—Leader.
Extremley Cosmopolitan.
They are nothing if not aristocratic
out iu McLean county. The Wash
burn Leader says: "Frank B. Wells,
son of the Aricaree chief, Sitting
Bear, and grandson of the noted
other day Indian chieftain Son-of-the
Stars, accompanied by John Howard,
jr., granc son of Lord Howard of
Cumbeilandof the English peerage,
brought down the election returns.
Wednesday, from Armstrong pre
cinct. Mr. Wells served as judge
and Mr. Howard was one of the
clerks of election there, and both
were well qualified by a good English
education."
Republicanism Will Prevail.
The election returns show that the
republican ticket of the state has been
carried by a fine majority and North
Dakota remains in the republican
column of states. This insures the
election of a sound money and repub
lican senator to the United States
senate and for the first time in six
years the proper representation of the
state in the highest law-making body
of the land. The republicans will
control both houses of the state legis
lature by large majorities and Stuts
man county will have two efficent
representatives there. The election
of Burleigh F. Spalding of Fargo to
congress is assured by a fine vote.
This also shows to the people of the
state and nation that North Dakota
:y*i "v'
Republican.

repudiates in an emphatic manner
free silver and other cbeap money
fallacies, socialist doctrines and
stands out boldly for good govern
ment. The administration of Presi
dent McKinley has been endorsed
and the people of the state have said
that they mean to see that the flag
s^ys
just where our boys have brave
ly placed it.—Jamestown Capital.
Stacks His Flax.
N. P. Rasmussen of Valley City, a
former railroad commissioner, says:
"Most farmers have an idea that flax
standing over in stacks is liable to
spoil. In 1896,1 had 300 acres stand
over winter in stacks, and forty acres
on the ground. The stacks kept well
were threshed the last of June, no
damage to stacks. That ou the
ground was mostly eaten up by mice
—stacked early in May—but there
was hardly enough left to pay for the
work. In '97 I had 150 acres of
which about 100 acres were stacked
the first of November—some snow iu
it when stacked—threshed it in July,
98 tops had blown off the stacks in
the spring and were not replaced un
til stacks were dry and in good con
dition. I used nocoveronthe stacks.
They were built about twelve feet
wide in ricks and I would advise the
farmers iu the state to take no chances
in threshing in the fall, but get the
flax iu stacks as soon as possible.
Then, if weather permits, you can
thresh from the stacks later. I find
that flax will keep better iu stacks
than any other grain.
Honse Cleaning in LaMoure.
It is a matter of gratification that
LaMoure county has elected Messrs.
Sharp and Diesem to the legislature.
There was more than a merely local
interest in this election. Mr. Sharp
an old member of the lower house,
wasthe republican nominee for the
senate. Mr. Kinter, Jate receiver of
the Bismarck land office was his oppo
nent. Mr. Kinter is a mau who has
posed a great deal as being consider
ably better than some people, but
this did not prevent him from vot
ing two years ago in Bismarck, al
though he now claims that his home
hap been in LaMoure county all the
time. Mr. Sharp defeated him by
the handsome majority of 101 iu a
vote of less than 900. Mr. Uelaud,
an ex-populist member of the legisla
ture ran against Mr. Diesem for the
lower house, and Mr. Diesem is elect
ed by 99 majority, Mr, Ueland is a
man of some talents, unfortunately
devoted to the bad cause of advocat
ing a rotten currency. The voters of
LaMoure county have properlv re
pudiated him, and Mr. Diesem who is
a LaMoure county republican war
horse, easily wins.—Mandan Pioneer.
Not A Representative North Dakotan.
The boye, the rustlers, who won in
the election think the opportunity
has arrived to dispose of Congress
man Johnsou's claim to perpetual
sovereignty over the republican vote.
The republican majority in the leg
islature is so great that Mr. Johnson's
so-called strength will not be requir
ed to prevent some one of the oppos
ite political faith getting the seat.
The republicans look forward to the
election of a republican, and most
any good fellow is preferred by the
party majority now in control to Mr.
Johnson. The so-called supporters
of Mr. Johusou deserted his legisla
tive candidate iu his own county and
elected a democrat. There are no
doubt democrats and independents
in the legislature who would prefer
most any other republican to Mr.
.lohnso'3, who for three terms has
been elected to congress and who re
presents everything in his policy and
politics repugnant, to the opposition
and none of the counter-claims, as a

Chauncy DePew Says:
"Twenty-five years ago I ku-w
every man, woman and child in
Peek.skill, N. Y. And it has been a
study with me to mark boys who
started in every grade of life with
myself to see what became of them.
I was up last fall and began to count
them over, and it was an instructive
exhibit. Some of th^m became
clerks, merchants, manufacturers,
lawyers and doctors. It is remark
able that every one of these that
drank is dead not one liying of my
age. Barriug a few who were takwii
by sickness, every one who proved a
wreck and wrecked his familv did ir,
from rum and no other cause. Of
those who were church-going people,
who were steady, who were frugal
and thrifty, every single one of them
without an exception owns the hoime
iu which he lives aud has something
laid by, the interest of which, with
his house, would carry him through
many a day. When a man becomes
debased by gambling, rum or drink,
all his finer feelings are crowded out,
and the poor women at home suffer
suffer for those whom they love bet
tee thau life."
EVOLUTION OF MONEY.
Vxtwarranted Government Interference
Prevents Estay Transition From One Sab*
etauce to Another.
Money is simply a commodity that is
generally recognized as a universal
equivalent, and its degree of goodness
or efficiency consists 111 the unanimity of
the recognition of the fitness of the com
modity used as money to perform the
essential functions of money. Many
commodities have been used as money,
and they have remained iu use as long
as they met the essential requirements
of money among the people where used,
or until some otliet commodity appear
ed the fitness of which commended it
self to the intelligence as being superior
to the commodity then being used.
As people have advanced iu discrim
inating intelligence they have discard
ed inferior commodities and adopted in
place thereof something that was supe
rior. These, changes kept taking place
until finally gold and silver became the
commodities that were recognized by
the people of most countries as being
the best for use as money. Sociological
transition is constant. Change is the,
natural order of things, and changes
come about naturally and are therefore
effected easily, if the natural process is
allowed to go on undisturbed. Trou
blous friction ensues only when there is
obstructive governmental interference
to delay or defeat the natural order ox\:
things.
In our own day the stagecoach has':
been supplanted by the steam railroad,^
and stagecoaches have practically be-£
come a thing of the past. The tallow.?
dip was succeeded by lamps filled with?
burning fluid or oil, and lamps by illu-$
minating gas, and gas by electricity.?
These and many other changes were ac
complished with no serious disturbance!
whatever, and so it would be with com-|
modifies used as money in the absence,
of governmental obstruction. There
would be no threatening money ques-!
tion in this country today, endangering
the oontinnity and perpetuity of all1
business activity, if the United States,
was not engaged in the banking busi
ness.
Among civilized people the days otj
usefulness of silver money, exccpt 1
subsidiary forms, axo numbered, and
silver is going out of uso as surely as
have the stagecoach and the tallow dip,
and for exactly tho same reason—civi
lization has outgrown the conditions
which necessitated its use. No money
has ever come into use at the behest, of
government or because of statutory en
actments, but solely because of rficog
nized ability to perform the functiona
of money.—Austin W. Wright in Soaod
Currency.
