The Griggs Courier R. TBUB8HAW. Euros. SflDstor Prttigrwr, of Sonth JDakota, says that be is ashamed Of his oountry. The senator can TeBt assured that the country lias been ashamed of him for a longtime. Pettigrew needs to put himself on a fish diet. President MeKinley, according iothe national custom, has design ated Thursday, November 30th as a day of national thanksgiving. The president's proclamation speaks of the -prosperous con dition of the country and urges everyone to make it a day of thanksgiving.^ Gov. Fancher has returned to North Dakota after a long ab sence in the east where he had been to secure medical treat ment The governor has not en tirely recovered and he has a host of friends all over the state who wish for his speedy and com plete recovery. The Minneapolis Journal has Started a penny fund among the children for the purpose of pur chasing a watch for Admiral Dewey. Each child is supposed to contribute one cent for which they receive a certificate show ing that they helped to buy Dewey's watch. Three years ago when a body of working men went out ou strike the resolutions adopted started in something like this: Whereas, There is widespread business disaster all over the country, etc." Now when a few men go out on strike the reso lutions start in like this: 'Whereas, there is great business activity all over the county, therefore we demand a 20 per cent raise in wages, etc." Three years ago men struck because there was not work enough, now they strike because they have too much work and want higher wages accordingly. Senator Billy Mason of Illinois is in a fair way to win the grati tude of the American people and in a very easy manner, too. He declares he.will resign if the na tional republican conyention does not repudiate what he calls "criminal aggression" in the Philippines. Billy might just as well hand in his resignation at once and save himself any further worry as it is a sure thing that the national convention will call his bluff and the legislature of Illinois will elect a successor to him who is in favor of the policy of the administration. It would be safer to bet that Senator Ma son would not resign. The slate makers have been crediting the Grand Forks Her ald with being in with the slate makers with a view of being re garded with the state printing. Now Editor Win ship can stand most any kind of abuse but when it comes to classing him in the slate makfog class with the gang to which he has always been op posed, he very naturally objects. The Herald seems to be hewing to the line regardless of where chips may fall and does not seem to care whether he gets the state printing or not. The Herald has recently passed the 3,000 mark and is gaining in public favor every day. Consistency is a jewel and if Mr. Winship keeps on in his present course he will be a winner with the people in the long run if he isn't with the politicians. Next Tuesday the people of the second oommis&ioner district will be called upon to dect a oounty oommissioner. Hie re publican party, believing that this office should be filled by a competent and progressive busi ness man have placed in nomina tion Mr. E. W. Blackwell, one of the earliest settlers of the coun ty and a gentleman whose busi ness qualifications make him eminently fitted for the duties of this important office. The posi tion of county oommissioner is a very important one as the affairs of the county are. thrown iuto the hands of five men, and it is necessary for the welfare of the taxpayers that the right kind of men are elected. The Courier believes that the interests of the people generally will be best sub served by the election of Mr, Blackwell and we hope that his friends in the district will take enough interest to turn out and give him a vote next Tuesday. "The reputation which some large stores get for being dis obliging to the customers or hav ing uncivil clerks could in the majority of cases be traced di rectly back to the shoppers them selves," writes Edward Bok, of "Systemless Shopping," in the November Ladies' Home Journ al. "It makes no claim of per fection for the clerks who stand behind the counters of our great stores where women shop. They are only common mortals, full of faults. But considering what they are called upon to go through and endure at the hands of thoughtless women, the con stant wonder is that they are so civil and obliging. If the truth could be known it would be found that they suffer far more than they inflict suffering. If the roll could be called of hard-working, innocent girls who have lost their positions because of illfounded complaints made by 'influential' customers whose accounts the firm could not afford to lose, it would be a roll of disgrace to American shoppers. The girls behind the counter are human— although from the actions of some women we might believe other wise—human in their faults, but also in their finer feelings. Very often they represent better fami lies, better breeding, than that which is "revealed to them from the other Side of the counter." It is easy now to see that the greater part of the republican seceders of 1896 will be back in the fold by 1900, says the Grand Forks Herald. In a platform adopted a few days ago by the silver republicans in Denver a a demand was made for "the vigorous and speedy prosecution and termination of the war in the Philippine islands, and the earli est establishment and recogni tion of national authority there to the end that the best possible government may be established in those islands." These senti ments have frequently been ex pressed by Senator Teller in the past few months. They are undoubtedly the sentiments of the majority of the element which he represents, and which followed him out of the party in 1896. ,c Events are shaping themselves to send Teller and his friends back into the party next year. The silver issue is dead so far as any reasonable chance of further favors to that metal in national legislation is concerned. Mr. Teller, as a man of brains, sees this. Bryan himself is trying to dodge the silver question, though the chances are that his convention in 1900 will be forced to put it in the platform, with the J- VOL. ty No. 43. COOPERSTOWN, GRIGGS COUNTY, N. D., THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1899 1 •A1 -t-5 1 hope of retaining some of the populist support, without which his party could not carry a single western state, except perhaps Missouri, and without populist aid for the democracy even Mis souri would be a doubtful state. The great issue in the canvass, however, promises to be expan sion, and on expansion four out of five of the Teller section of the Bryanite coalition of 1896 will come back to the Republican party. Here is a break in the popo cratic line, as drawn three years ago, which is reasonably certain to take place next year. Events are forcing democrats to commit themselves against expansion, Bryan came out against it just as soon as his connection with the army ended. He has been talk ing against it in nearly every speech he has made since then It will be impossible for him to go back on his record of the past six or eight months on this ques tion next year. The deadly parallel will be pulled on him if he should be frightened into coming over to the expansion side, or should be coerced into accepting expansion or into straddling the issue. True, the chances are overwhelmingly in favor of the suppression of Bry an's Tagal co-partner Aguinaldo long before the election in 1900, but the logic of the situation wil force the democracy to oppose republican policy on that ques tion. This is exactly what the republican party wants. Ex pansion is bound to be a winning issue for the republicans next year. No party which ever op posed expansion profited by that attitude. The democracy is a stronger party than the federa list organization was at the time that it came out against the Louisiana cession, but its over throw will be just as certain as was the defeat of the federalists. The Teller branch of the Bryan ite aggregation gave to that com bine of 1896 about all the political respectability and character which it had, but that element will be back in the republican party next year. All the indica tions show that the republican majority in 1900 will be much greater than was that of 1896. For Disensos ot Women Bright's Kidney Pills arc an unfailing and perfectly safe regulator.
