We are uot opposed so much to M. N. John son personally as to the idea that he is the political saviour of North Da kota.

Iu such cases the judges are required to count that part if it is sufficiently plain so that the intent of the voter cau be made out. Provision is also made for counting names written or pasted regardless of the but the makers of the law did not seem to make any provision for count ing the evident "intent" where one candidate was voted for with the straight ticktt aud auother with an opposite the name, uuless the name on the straight ticket was erased. All this goes to show that it is a hard job to anticipate all the mis takes a voter will make in marking the ballot and provide for counting them. It also shows that the ballots should be in the office of t&jj county auiiitor where they may be recounted bv im county commissioners in case of a close vote, and ail counted under t'ne same rule. Thern is uo doubt that the kind of ballots mentioned iiHv-e. been counted in more than one way by the different' election boards of the couuty.

In case of a recount of the baiiois we hope to see error enough found on the first count to give the election to Connor, but we hope no precincts will be throwu out for auy technical irregularities. We believe the election judges in all cases were honest, aud we don't want to see anything thrown out, nor any voter disfranchised through mistake in improperly swearing in a clerk, or some little eiror of that kind. But we b.'iieve Mr. Connor should have rh jht to have the ballots brought into the county seat and have them counted by the county commis sioners, and should it be found that he has a majority 011 such a recount we ate confident Air. Perry would give up his certificate of election without a question. I nderthe present system, the bal lots and boxes are left with the election officers, aud only au ab stract of the votes cast are returned to the county commissioners. Even if errors have been made, and ballots similarly marked have been counted for different candidates, there is now no way of finding out the facts with out visiting every election precinct in the county and examining the balJots. All ballots should be returned to the county seat, not necessarily to be re counted, but where they may be examined in cass anyone has reason to believe there has beeu an error in the count.

The Portland Oregonian says: "Political suffrage for women is a slowly-dying cause." The advocates of equal rights point out that within the past five years, three States of the Union have extended full suffrage to women. They recall the fact that sixty years ago women could not vote anywhere, and they outline the gains of the movement as follows: lu 1838, Kentucky gave school suff rage to widows. Iu 1861, Kansas gave it to all women. Iu 1869, Eng and gavemuueipal suffrage to sin gle women and widows, and Wyomiug gave full suffrage to all women. School suffrage was granted iu 1875 by Michigan and Minnesota, in 1876 by Colors do, iu 1878 by New Hampshire and Oregon, in 1879 by Massachusetts, in 1880 by New York aud Verinout. Iu 1881 municipal suffrage was extended to the single women and widows of Scotland. Nebraska gave school suffrage in 1883 and Wisconsin in 1885. In 18K5 school suffrage was given iu Wash ington. aud municipal suffrage to single women and widows iu New Brunswick and Ontario. In 1887, municipal suffrage was extended to all women in Kansas, and school suf frage in North and South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, aud New Jersey. In the same year, Montana gave tax paying women the right to vote upou all questious submitted to the tax payers. In 1889, municipal suffrage was extended to single women and widows in the province of Quebec. In 1891 school sufirage was granted in Illinois. In 1893, school suffrage was granted in Conneticut, and full suffrage in Colorado aud New Zea land. In 1891, school suffrage was granted in Ohio, bond suffrage iu Iowa, and parish and district suffrage in England to women both married and single. In 1895, full suffrage was granted in Australia to women both married and single. In 1896, full suffrage was granted in Utah and Idaho. In 1898, the single women and widows of Ireland have been given the right to vote for all officers except members of parliament the women of Minnesota have been given the right to vote for members of lib rary boards, the tax-paying women of Lousiana have been given the right to vote on all questions submitted to the tax-payers aud South Dakota has granted full suffrage to women by constitutional amendment.

The Fargo Argus has the following account of the address delivered in the state agricultural college by Paul Gorder. The series of regular junior and se nior chapel orations of the fall terra was inaugurated Thursday morning by an oration, "The Spanish-Cuban War," by P. C. Gorder. The possibilities of war and the necessity of hurriedly raising a large volunteer army, as iu the recent ex perience, shows the expediency of our government in requiring a mili tary training to be given in all of its land grant colleges, audits encourage ment in many state institutions. The benefits from such a course, however, do not lie wholly ,iu the fitting of young men with a military know ledge or a preparation for actual war. Not the least value that comes to the student is the discipline connected with such a training. A successful man in any profession seldom attains that position without in some period of his business life being subjected to a severe discipline for which he is not always prepared by the volitional mental discipline of his studies. Men differ widely in will power and one is often taugbt to obey oneself by first being compelled to obey others—and it often gives a boy that quality of character which turns the scale of his fortune from failure to success. What night Be. Editor Republican—If there is any one thing more than another that the citizens of Oakes would |appreciate more than another it is a manufact uring industry of some kind. Everyone thoroughly understands that a factory or some manufacturing industry is a great benefit to a town in many ways. It brings a large number of working people together some moving in from other places— thereby increasing the population and stimulating business generally. Afier one industry is established it is easier to secure others. Of course Oakes is small but it is surrounded by one of the Dest farm ing sections in the state which gives a fair mercantile trade, but it should not be contented with that merely, because with a little exertion on the part of the leading citizens of the town business could be increased to enormous proportions. Oakes is well located for a good shipping point. Machinery could be run by steam in Oakes as in other places. It would be well for the citizens of Oakes to arouse from the slow going: ways of the past and take life aud become a town with business activity. M. ,#'v •«»'S» on uew throbbing J. Anderson.

A. Dubuque, Iowa. if" & OBITUARY. BUSH—At his ht me in the city of In 1880 Mr. Bush moved from On tario to the state of Iowa where he lived until he removed to Dickey county in .Tuue, 1882, being the first settler in the east end of the county. He settled on the Jim River and es tablished the town of Port Emma, at one time quite a flourishing village. Had the railroad passed through this place it would have made it the prin ciple town in the east end of the county, but the road came up on the opposite side of the river, the town of Ludden was started by the railroad campany, and Port Emma was a thiug of the past. Some of the lots had been sold, but Mr. Bush still held the largest interest in the town site when the decline came, and owned the most of the property at his death. All that is left of the original town is the substantial farm building of Mr. Bush, On March 3rd, 1884, Mr. Bush was again married to Miss Emma E. Wil liams, after whom Port Emma was named, who with two boys, Gideon and Frank, survive him. Mr. Bush joined the Masonic order in early life, and Modern Woodmen in Oakes only a short time ago. ^Mii^ Oaken, North Dakota, on Sunday, Deoember llth. 18!)8, Thomas W. Bush, in the sixty-third year of his ago. Thomas W. Bush was born at Kemptville, Ontario, July 21th,,1836. On the 20th of January, 1859 he was married to Sarah A. Eastman who died in 1869. By this marriage there were three children, Mrs. P. N. Tate of Mille Roches, Ontario, W. H. Bush of Oakes, and J. W. Bush of Straub ville. The funeral was held Tuesday from the Presbyterian church, being in charge of the Modern Woodman, which order he was a social member The remains were escorted to their last resting place by about fifty mem bers of the order, and a long line of carriages. Mr. Bush was a man of strong in dividuality. Like many another, in his anxiety to acquire property in iu this country, he went into debt and not being able to meet his obli gations as they became due, was con siderably worried and lost some pro perty through failure to realize on his investments. But during the past few years he has been catching up with the procession, by hard work, and it was only a few days before he death he told the writer that by an other year he would be square with the world aud have a nice little pro perty clear. He was a man very devoted to his family, and continually labored for their material and moral welfare. He will be greatly missed around his own fireside, as well by a large circle of friends who extend their sympathy to the sorrowing family. ED. WINHOLD. Dieslrom Pneumonia at 12 Had Been Sick About a Week. Ed Winhold died last night about 12 o'clock at the Exchange Hotel in this city. Mr. "Winhold had been sick for about a week with pneumon ia, but had ouly been in bed a few days. Yesterday morning it was thought he was getting better, but about 8 o'clock last night he became uuconscious aud did not regain con sciousness and died at 12 o'clock. Mr. Winhold was among the earli est settlers of the city, having oper ated a watch repair and jewelery shop here for several years. He was a na tive of Germany, where it is under stood his parents still reside. He had been a soldier in the German army during the Franco-Prussian war. He learned his trade in the watch factories of Switzerland, and was considered a first class workman. A letter was found in the postoffice this morning addressed to him, which was opened and found to be from his brother in Pennsylvania. The brother was telegraphed to, and unless he wires to make some other disposi tion of the body, it will be buried in •the Oakes cemetery under the aus pices of the city fire department, of which he was a member.
