THE COIiyENTIOK. Well, the convention is over. As we remarked last week, owing to the in surgent movement there were not many changes from the former state officials. The fight of the rralcontents made it .al most neccessary to renominate the pre sent administration, as the fight had been made so directly upon these officials. In all probability there would have been some changes if the party nominations had been made in the usual manner. Not because any of the candidates' nominated are particularly objectionable but because that Is the'usual way of the North Dakota republican conventions. Many of the "regulars" who would have been willing to have made changes, could not do so in this instance except by joining the insuigents, who had made such a union impossible by the(vitupera» live campaign they saw fit to carry^ on -. before the pri^taiies. It is anpther ill ustration of: thje pretty workings of the ^.primary law system. to tlie candidatei the Pioneet' Ex-, press is satisfied with the selections. Even if changes'had been made, these might easily h^ve been for the nvoree.

It is proof however that the majority is no a- west instead of east of the James river. The regulars got the candidates and the" insurgents the platform. A plank was put in favoring the doing away with state conventions and the selectiou oi candidates for state and congressional offices, including preference for senatoi, to be made by direct vote of the people. It will be easy to pass this as a law, but the people will be up against it when they come to make the selections. For govenpr, for congress and for sena tor it will not be hard for the average voter to express his preference, for these are mostly fairly well known to everybody, at least those who have held office, bnt when it comes to minor offices •the voter will only be. able to vote in telligehtly on one or two candidates from his own locality. The feeling at the convention was «not nearly so bitter between the factions as might have been indicated by the vitu perations of the primary election. In fact it appeared as though a large part of "insurgent" feeling was really on purely local county issues and not those of state and congressional matters. Of the candidates the Pioneer Express will have more to say in the future. But the campaign will not really be on until the meeting of the Democrats at Minot on August 2nd-—in the opinion of that party. STATE MEAT INSPECTION. The laws affecting the inspection of the great packing houses by the govern ment passed by the late congress, are just what are needed in theory and will be amended where needed when put in practice. We really beleive that there has been much exaggeration as to the dirt, filth and general unclean conditions of the packing houses. Centain'y but a small part of the buildings, the operations, and the output have been snbject to unsanitary conditions. Thousands of people go through the stock-yards in Chicago every day, and whie they do not perhaps see everything, they do see the most of it, and so far as the public have seen, the utmost cleanliness is observed. Besides this the diseased and tainted-meats must necessarily be but a smalfpart of the output. But it Is an old proverb that "everybody has to eat a peck of dirt."t On the other hand it is quite probable "that there are abuses and unsanitary conditions in these great packing houses that need inspection and correction, but not to the extent that the recent talk would indicate. One would think that most of the animals shipped by our western farmers and breeders, were nothing but the ofi-scourings of the earth and that a healthy fat beef. was an ex- But- erfact, and that is, that it is no^ only the speat city abbatoirs that need supervision but tire slaughter houses of the small cttfef and fbwns as well.

The banking institutions of North Dakota have increased from 360 to during the last tweleve months. Pec haps no other item is more significant of the rapid growth of the ^tate.—Unless it be the similar statistics of the news papers which are practically about the same. Where there is a bank there is also a newspaper. They seem to be sort oflhas mutually dependent on each The resignation of fudge N. C. Young from the supreme bench is a matter of interest to many old friends in this coun ty, who used to be his neighbors. Judge Young, since promotion to the supreme court has made an enviable record as to fairness and ability. He is to take a partnership with the well known Fargo firm, Ball & Wallin, and no doubt the change will be a benefit in a pecuniary way. His many friends in this county wish him continued success. »v Court. Friday. Goldstein vs. Atkinson. This was a suit for damages for $i»,000 in which the plaintifl charged the.defendant with assaultihg him and throwing him to the ground, and by this rough usage caused a rupture permanently disabling him from active labor. The defendant claimed that armed with a writ of replevin he weint to the store of the plaintiff and served the re plevin papers on him. Plaintiff became very angry and excit ed, scattered the papers on the floor and the defendant took him by the shoulders and walked him to the door. Here the plaintiff took hold of the door frame and attempted to stop, but the sheriff took his hands away fron} the door and then pushed him by the shoulders into the street. Here the plaintiff continued to dance around and struggle, the sheriff still holding him by the shoulders. In this fracas, the plaintiff felt to his knees and was lifted up again by the sheriff. While here the plaintiff took out the store keys from his pocket and Atkinson grabbed his wrist and they, fell' to the ground and Atkinson picked them up. The plaintiff's story does not differ materially from that of the sheriff as stated, except tnat he alleged far greater violence, and that he was thrown instead of falling in the street, and that Atkinson leached in his pockets when down and took out the keys. Ot course he also alleges that he was ruptyred at this. time. There was some medical testimony on this subject, but the most effective was some testimony that the plaintiff's attorneys refused to allow be ing heard,-'taking advantage of a statute that treats such communications from patient to a doctor as privileged and Sacred. Several witiness from Hamilton include ing O. H. Johnson, R. A. Thacker and Duncan McArtbur testified that Goldsteiii had told them at times several months or a year previous to-the assault that h? was then ruptured. The jury brought •a verdict after a very short 'deliberation iu favor of the defendant. Bangs & fendantc-: Saturday.

The bar meeting that was stated to be1 held in Fargo and that protested against the nomination of Attorney Knauft of famestown as a candidate for supreme judge, turns out to have been a meeting of a few lawyers many of whom were democrat*, and in no way an official expression of the bar. The State Bankers Association which met at Fargo this week took strong grounds against the Minnesota wheat inspection bureau and recommended either the Wisconsin bureau, or failing that the farmers build terminal terminal elevators of their own at Superior or Duluth. he was confined and joined the herd and later assualted' Peterson knocking htm down and continued after that in twice returning to assault the fallen and helpless man. The injuries received were a broken leg, a stab in the groin with a horn, a blow in the back and several other bad bruises. The leg was improperly set tos no physician was summoned and in consequence Peterson a other—[bu" the pasture where he was until Sunday when they would come for him and that Peterson agreed to it. Peterson and son deny this. There was some testi mony as to the alleged viciousnes of the bull by plaintiff's witnessess. The case was given to the jury after eloquent arguments by Messrs Brynjolfson for the plaintiff and Bangs for defendant. The jury spent several hours in consid eration, and then returned a "Verdict for the plaintiff for $1,200. The case is like ly to be appealed. CRIMINAL CASES. Of the two St. Thomas men, Mike O'DonneJjand Sam Hopper, accused of bootlegging, the former pleaded guihy and was awarded the usual 90 days and fine. Hopper pleaded not guilty and stood trial. John Conmy was appointed byjthe court for the defense ancl won his first case. Hopper proved that while he went with O'Donnel to Auburn to get a keg of beer, the beer came C. O. D. to O'Don nel and the latter paid for it. Also ac knowledged that he had invited some friends to join the crowd that drank the beer, and had "taken up the collection" to pay for the same, that he had added his own contribution, and handed the money over to O'Donnel. The jury were out but a short time and brought in a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Hopper was however, immediately rearrested on the charge of giving away liquor to minors and was remanded to jail in default of bail for trial at the next term ol court. sC.1'»#", \'.... \.*$\. ^V ,. rl Uffif' mm&£ vrK-«f 4"*^""'f J* s& Jate« ^\wilt! crippled leg. The assault by the was not disputed, but the defense Robert Fint of Drayton, informed against for tape on* the person of his step daughter, who is about to be con fined, pleaded gui!ty conditionally. Mr. Meyers, his attorney, having explained to the Court that Flint had had no time since his arrest to get evidence, and that as his attorney he had been called into the case so late he had had no time to prepare, and asTted the court to accept a plea of guilty with a stay of sentence for a time, with the privilege of changing the plea later. He stated that the accused acknowleged that at present the evidence was so much against him that he had no chance ot acquittal, but that as he was an, innocent man he did not desire that his present plea of guilty should be consider ed as a cpnfession of- guilt. The court accepted the plea of guilty and suspend ed sentence and Flint was returned to jail. Edward Collins, druggist ol Hamilton, plead guilty to the charge of breaking the prohibition law. His sentence was suspended and he was al lowed to go on his bond, as he is president of the fair association .. now holding its annual exhibition. It is said the offense was technical and the com plaint laid for personal reason. Court adjourned on Tuesday afternoon, the closing coming quite rapidly and the jurors were mostly excused in time to catch the four o'clock train. The calen day is more nearly cleaned up than for many yeats, not more than three or, four important cases being continued. Notice of Inspection of Northern Pacific Railway.
