A Pessimistic View.
Nothing else could have been ox
pected than that young men would
be slow in enlisting in the regular
army—now that recruits are wanted—
in view of the experiences of the vol
unteers in camp and hospital. Thus
the abuses resulting from unworthy
political appointments ii the volunteer
service teud directly to restrain that
practical expression of patriotism
that a young man shows when he
gives himself to the military service
of his country.—Fargo Argus.
A New Prohibition.
A novel plan for elevating Georgia
morals has been formulated by a well
known citizeu of Atlanta. He pro
poses that each county shall decide
by a vote on January 1 of each year
who the worst man in the county is,
and that the man receiving the high
est number of votes shall, on the en-
nized as such, would tend to create a
desire within them to be enrolled
among the wrll behaved.—Ex.
No Appropriation.
Our worthy governor, Joe Devine,
has highly honored two citizens of
this couritv, Messrs Conklin W. Oak
ley and N. S. French, by appointing
them as members of tbe Farmers'
Congress which meets at Fort Worth,
Texas, on December 6th, but as the
pay of these so called congressmen is
not eight dollars per day and mile
age, this grand meeting of fanners
will have to get along without at
least one of the aforesaid delegates.
In his kindly appointment the gov
ernor says he very sincerely regrets
the fact that there is no appropriation
for the expenses of the delegates.
Shanley on Divorce.
The impression is abroad that I
have gone down into the foul sewers
of North Dakota politics, and. wreak
ing muck, have succeeded in fixing
some members of the next legislature
on the divorce business. My fight
against tbe divorce industry has been
on the field. I hdte, with a hatred
words cannot express, the laws now
in force in this state 011 this subject.
But I have never spoken one word to
a candidate for the legislature to in
fluence his vote Two years ago I
promised to wage war to the end
against legalizing prostitution in tttis
state. I am going to keep my prom
ise. The legislature may seat John
son, Cronan or Hell's Monarch. It
matters not to me. will continue

There is a great deal being said
these times about expansion but most
people overlook the fact that this
country has been expandiug ever
since its first existence. Most of the
acquisitions have been uuder demo
cratic administrations, but Alaska
was purchased under a republican ad
ministration Florida, Louisiana,
Texas aud California, Nvw Mexico,
Nevada, etc., were all annexed dur
ing democratic rule, and now, Porto
liicc, Hawaii aud the Philippines
will come in under republican rule.
It is about :s much of an impossibil
ity to stop this country from expand
ing, as to stop a Dakota blizzard or a
New England squall. If the country
grows in the next hundred years as it
has in the hundred years back of us,
who cau tell what au empire it will
be. The expansion of America has
always been iu the interests of pro
gress aud civilization, and so will it
always be. Does anyone believe that large number of these cases are

By Farmer Votes.
The London Spectator says ''You
can not rid the average American
farmer of the idea that when silver
and paper money are plenty times
will be good." The average Ameri
can farmer deserves a better repu
tation than this. He showed in the
recent election that he does uot think
silver and paper money in abun
dance necessarily make good times.
In that election he declared that
silver and paper currency need
bracing up, and that gold must be
used to do the braciug. The farmer
voted for the preservation of the
gold standard. Tt was the farmer's
vote which saved the gold standard
from assault in the next House of
Representatives. If the farmers had

Our Adopted Orphans.
It is argued iu some quarters that
we have no rigLt to retain the control
of the Philippines, except by the free
consent of the inhabitants of the is
lauds. That statement may well be
challenged. That all humau govern
ments rightfully exist, only by the
consent of the governed, is a state
ment of wide application, but subject
to certain modifications and excep
tions. Take for instance the govern
ment of the family. While the child
ren are unable to wisely and safely
govern themselves, they are subject
to paternal control. As they ap
proach capability of intelligent self
control, paternalism gives vray to
democracy, and the government is ex
ercised only by the consent of the
governed. Such, at least is the case
in every well directed family. If an
orphan boy finds himself providential
ly domiciled in a family, he should
only be allowed full freedom when he
is capable of exercising it. So with
people incapable of self-government.
Providence has laced an orphan at
our door. No specious reasoning of
political doctrinaires cau justify us
in sooly turning it over to some cruel
neighbor nor can we drop the child
and run. This is the situation as we
see it.—Larimore Pioueer.
Changes Recommended.
State Veterinarian Langdon recom
mends in his report to the governor
that district veterinarians ought to be
paid their actual expeuses iu addition
to the present salaries paid, or a per
diem of $5 a day while engaged with
work for the benefit of the state He
says the tendency of the present
method of compensation is to keep
the veterinarians at home to preveut
as far as possible cutting into their
salaries.

Should Own The Cars.
Evidence adduced last winter iqp
the discussion of the Loud postal bill
relative to the cost of the railway mail
service is coufirmed by the investiga
tions now being conducted by the
congressional postal committee, which
lead- the committee to believe that
the government should own and op
erate its own cars. After the first
cost of buying and equipping, a con
siderable saving would be effected in
tbe expenses of the service. A lead
ing factor iu the annual deficit of
the postal service is the enormous
reuials paid by the government to the
railroads for tbe use of mail cars.
While expenses of constructing and
operating lailroads have been greatly
reduced aud freight rates have been
reduced also, there has been no cor
responding reduction in the govern
ment rentals of mail cars. The inev
itable deficit in the service which is
made up by congressional appropria
tion of public funds represent in part
the enormous bounty that the people
continue to pay the railroads for this
service, over aud above a reasonable
compensation, and over aud above
what the expense would be, were the
government, to own and operate its
postal cars. The government owns
and operates post office buildings
why uot also its railway post offices?
Nicaragua Canal.
Mr. J. R. Currie—in the Dallas,
Texas, News—takes issue with Jos
eph Nimtno as to the efficiency of
the Nicaragua cauai. Soma of the
points made by Mr. Currie as to the
uses and beuetits of this canal are:
It brings us 3,000 to 7,000 miles near
er to 90 per cent of all the trade in
tbe Pacilie than Eugland, Franc" or
Germany it brings us nearer to Jap
an. China aud Russia it will be vir-:
i.ually free to American ships—wnere
as the Suez canal exacts a toll of
$2,000 to $20,000 per ship it is a great
dock of fresh water that will clean
the barnacles from the ships it is
cheaper, shorter aud pleasanter than
the Suez canal it will avoid the
dangerous and delaying passage
around Cape Horn tea, silks, etc.,
can come to southern ports instead of
being carried by rail across the con
tinent—aud many others. The
Northwestern country wants the
Nicaragua canal. It wants direct
communication from the wheat fields
to tide water at the south, thence by
water route in both directions. The
influences that are against this di
rect water connection are the same
that have kept local freight rates
high in order to make absurdly low
