The dowager Empress of China
rules 400,000,000 of people and
yet there are some people in this
county who are against a compe
tent lady holding the paltry office
of superintendent of schools.
The demo-pop military scandal
died out as quick as it was born,
the Halland scandal is doing the
same thing. Verily it is hard
for the opposition to work up an
issue with any degree of either
certainty or enthusiasm.
After a great deal of fussing
around the French cabinet has
finally voted to grant Dreyfus a
new trial—something that should
have been done long ago. The
decision of the cabinet is received
with great enthusiasm by the
common people, while the pro
fessional perjurers are tremb
ling in their boots and some of
them are committing suicide.
We suggest that Dreyfus be tried
next time in the United States
where he can get a fair trial
The republican legislative con
vention meets at Sherbrooke
next Monday, (^cfcober 3d. At
that time will be nominated three
men, a senator and two repre
sentatives, who will undoubtedly
have a vote on the successor of
Senator Roach, because we be
lieve the men nominated next
Monday will be elected in
November. The people of this
district—that is the republicans
—favor the election of Hon. M.
N, Johnson to the United States
senate, and the Courier would
like to see the nominees of that
convention pledged to his sup
port if elected.

The attention of our fusion
friends is invited to Ignatius
Donnelly's speech which appears
in last Saturday's Minneapolis
Tribune. Mr. Donnelly was de
livering his opening address as a
candidate for vic-epresident on the
populist ticket and he very em
phatically told the people where
the blame for the demonetization
of silver lay. Read it.
The populist legislative con
vention met at Sherbrooke last
Saturday and nominated Mr. E.
D. Wallace, of Steele county, for
senator. Mr. Wallace is a
man of many good qualities and
would make a good senator—if
he was on the right ticket. For
the house, Frithof Greenland, of
the Sentinel, and John Hogenson,
of the Sentinel, were nominated.
Foster county, Kidder county
Eddy county, Cass county, Ram
sey county have lady superin
tendents of schools, all first-class
officials. Griggs county has a
lady nominated for that position
with a good show of being elected,
and now the Nelson County Ob
server is whooping it up for a
lady for that county. The ladies
are entitled to a place on
the ticket. They help pay the
taxes and ought to get the only
office the law will allow them by
way cf recompense.
President McKinley has finally
got his investigation committee
which is made up of the following
geutlemen: Maj. Gen. Dodge,
Maj. Gen. McCook, Brig. Gen.
Wilson, Maj. Mills, Charley Den
by, Gen. Beaver, Urban Wood
bury, Capt Howell, Col, Sexton.
This committee has been select
ed from different sections of the
country and is made upof thorough
ly competent and reliable men.
The president is determined to
probe to the bottom and to find
out just where all this blame in
army affairs lies.
The Chicago Record, a very
independent paper, has the fol
lowing to say:
"In the midst of all the worry
about camps and soldiers, Presi
dent McKinley has the satisfac
tion of knowing that he has con
ducted a grand and successful
war, and that all the socalled
mistakes are mere motes in the
sunbeam of achievement which
shall illuminate through future
years a glorious page in the
world's history. Every Ameri
can knows this, is proud of it,
and will get prouder as time
passes.
Mr. Tufte last week very
smoothly tried to convey in his
article in the Sentinel the im
pression that Mr. Carleton was
not a tax-payer and that the
amount of taxes as charged in
his
article—fifty-six
dollars were
all that Mr. CarletOn had been
assessed. If the learned gentle
man had taken the trouble to
look up the records in the county
treasurer's office he would find
that the taxes on Mr. Carleton's
town property have been paid
every year and that Mr. Carle
ton has paid heavy taxes every
year up to last year on his farm
northwest of town—the east half
of east half of Sec. 4-146-59,
Mr. Carleton does not deny ow
ing the $56 as charged and if Mr
Tufte depends on the votes of
people who have paid their taxes
in full for an election he will
cornea long way from getting
the required number of votes.
The imported attorney from
Minnesota is smooth. He
we put on our war paint and
feathers andexecutedawar dance,
etc. Very true, old man. When
we do put on our paint and
feathers, etc.. and do a little war
dancing, we can keep our equi
librium in so doing—something
that can't always be said of Mr.
Tufte.
VOL. 16 No. 38. COOPERSTOWN, GRIGGS COUNTY, N. D.. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 39, 1898.
The Grand Forks Plaindealer
says that the elections in Maine
and.Vermont demonstrates the
fact that the republican party's
continuous performance of fool
ing the people will be closed after
the November elections. Editor
Carruth must have penned those
lines some time ago. Vermont
and Maine show a republican in
crease in vote in off years. While
the Plaindealer was telling how
the people are being fooled we
notice that he steered clear of
the returns from Oregon. The
recent conventions in Colorado,
Montana, Washington, Idaho—a
quartet of silver states—demon
strates that they were fooled two
years ago IE the Plaindealer
will keen his eye on those states
this fall he will see that the peo
ple in those states cannot be
fooled all the time—even if they
were two years ago.
Chicago Record: .Fusion is
fast causing the People's party
to lose its identity. Dissension
and hopelessness of achieving
results through the party organiz
tiou are rapidly .bringing about
the disruption of the remnant
that professes to keep in the
middle of the road, In states
where the populists are strong
their party is merged with an
other, which means that it is be
ginning to disappear. Fusion is
simply a process whereby the
younger organization is swal
lowed up by the older. In states
where the populists are few their
organizations are going to pieces
because of weakness. In 1900
the people's party will be little
more than a name, and after that
the organization will cease to be
heard of as a factor in American
politics. The small aggregation
of devoted populists who met in
Cincinnati last week for the ex
press purpose of saving their
party from destruction merely
emphasized the fact that it has
already gone to pieces. The
party that names its candidates
two years and more ahead of
time is not gathering strength
for the contest, but is^dissipating
its already scattering energies.
The people will stand with
Secretary Gage in his fight
against the speculators to pre
vent them from monopolizing
the war bonds which were prima
rially issued for and expected to
be taken up by the people. The
bankers and brokers, when they
learned that the administration in
tended the bonds for distribution
among the people and not to the
capitalists and speculators, un
dertook to circumvent the treas
ury officials by employing no
taries to procure them bogus and
fictitious subscriptions, in all
amounting to the enormous sum
of ten million dollars, and filed
powers of attorney and certified
checks to pay for the bonds with
trust companies and through
them attempted to make their
purchases. Some of the persons
whose names are submitted as
applicants for bonds are long
since dead, while others never
existed. The Secretary of the
Treasury has decided that these
speculators cannot have the
bonds thus applied for, and they
haveemployed ex-Secretary Car
lisle as their counsel and are pre
paring to resist the decision of
Secretary Gage. It was the in
tention when these bonds were
issued that the common people
should have an opportunity to in
vest to as great an extent as
their patriotism prompted and
their savings would allow. They
responded nobly, subscribed
liberally, and should be defended
in their right to hold the securl
ties.—Sanborn Enterprise.
