PIONEER Press: II KIN ow am ruined, but
I had glorious good time while it lasted"
groaned John N. Beach, the unworthy son
of noble Minneapolis sire, when he was ar

but seventeen years old in years, but he is
gray headed IN iniqulty.
In recent sermon Mr.. Beecher said:
"When the time comes for the people to say
that intoxicating liquors shall not be sold,
shall be heart and soul with the movement,
but am bound to say that in my opinion
the time is i:ot ripe for any such movement.
When any man finds that he is injured by
drinking any kind of stimulent, ne should
stop, as he should leave off every bad habit.
But any general law that undertakes to regu
late the eating or drinking of whole people,
will not be made operative.
HERE are some conundrums from the VAL
Icy City Times; Do your metropolitan city
papers give your home news? Do they con-
tain notices of your churches, meetings, i'm
provements and hundreds of other matters
of interest which the local paper publishes
without pay? Do they say a word calculated
to draw attention to your town, and aid in
the progress and enterprise of your lmme-
diate vicinity2 Answer these questions and
then determine for yourself whether the city
or local paper is deserving of your support
first of all.
The following appears in the Argus, signed
by r. E. Fleming, president of the Fargo
electric light company: Dangerous Elec-
tric Light.-Contractors, builders and work.
men are notified that Instantaneous death
turks in every coil of the electric light wires.
In repairing buildings, where electric light
wires enter, workmen have sometimes cut
them, or detached the coils. So far no fatal
calamity has occurred, but heed should be
taken of this warning, and those who desire
to remove the wires, or change them in any
manner to make repairs in any building,
should notify the company and have an ex-
pert attend to the change. Otherwise some
one will meet sudden and instantaneous
DEATH"
HE jamestown Alert has this to say about
the result of our local election: "Col. Louns-
berry, of the Bismarck TR1BsNE, crows long
and loud over the success of the Citizens
ticket at the election which his paper sup
ported with firmness and ability during the
campaign. It seems that the republican
county convention to nominate county
ticket was packed and captured by an ele-
ment of the party that had become odious,
which the TRIBUNE and large following of
the party utterly repudiated, and combined
with citizens regardless of party, to over
throw the usurping dynasty that had OBJ
tanned control of the party machinery at the
nominating convention. How effectively,
the result Of the ballot shows. If it had not
been for the reforming powers of the repub-
lican party within itself it would have gone
to pieces years ago, and when it ceases to do
80 the time of its dissolution will be near at
hand. The predisposition Of any and every
political party is to corruption, for the SIM
ple reason that corrupt and selfish dema-
eogues always flock to the party in power
and unite with it for the purpose of plunder
and self aggrandisement. The reforming
and recuperative powers inherentln the re-
publican party have been sufficient IN local,
state and national contests, to slough of
these barnacles, and it has exercised that
power whenever and wherever the occasion
demanded it. The news from Bismarck is
supplemented by that of Pennsylvania and
New York, where, in the former named state
the masses of the Iarty turned upon and re-
buked the Cameron ring of self-lmposed
leaders, and in the latter state the COnkllng
domination. The masses of the party have
served notice upon the rings and bosses who
assume unWarranted authority that they will
not submit to such domination.
