A correspondent Of the Fargo Argus
gets off the following. and the editor
says lie has "good ideas:
The Republican says the Major is pa.

politics are past, and dissemble as you
may the ruling maxim in the politics
OF to-day is, ''To the victor belongs the
spoils.' They say you must ssset a
thief to catch thief and so you will
best guard against being :'figured out
in the legislature by sending men there
who understand thing or two them
selves. This would be polite though
you had no pet project Of plumber your
selves.
Sure enough. Set a thief to catch a
thief. If you want to be able to cope
with some rascal or rascals in the legis-
lature, send one who knows how, tits
himself. According to the Argus
writer thieving and 'soutfguring''
thieves is the principal function of a
legislative representative. Further on
the writer of the above declares that
unless the right kind of man is sent
wide awake members will ssteal the
very bread from your mouths Here
is the idea some have of wide awake
people. Now, it might be very well
for people to send one of the sswide
awake" fellows of this class to the
legislature once in while but for one
thing. They are very likely to take
an opportunity some time to line their
own pockets at the expense of the
people they represent. Here is where
the Figuring" comes in. We wish the
Argus would submit to the public a
full elaboration of this system of poll.

We hear that they are having a
boom out at Bismarck and we partly
believe it. Certainly there has been
great excitement in that town for
some days past on the strength of it
being capital place for investment.
Excitement has run so high that cool
outsiders are wondering if the insane
asylum would not have been of more
use in Bismarck than at Jamestown.

ANSWER.

The two political parties of this
country in no way correspond to those
of the Dominion of Canada. Parties
are the outgrowth of principles and
circumstances, generally having do.
nestle origin and not related to those
OF other countries. Such questions as
that of States Rights or Slavery which
at one time were bones of contention
in this country never entered into the
political history Of Canada. Persons
from Canada who want to decide what
their political relations should be in
this country ought to look at the ques.
ton on it's merits, giving due consider
alton to the history, tradition and prin-
ciplcs of the two parties,

NEWSPAPER CORREsPOND-
ENCE.

There is one obligation which every
newspaper owes to the public, viz: to
allow the public the use of it's columns
to correspondents for the discussion of
public questions. An intelligent pub
lie has, in this way, an opportunity to
supplement or modify the influence of
editorial utterances and render the pa
per more influential in the discussion
of matters pertaining to the welfare
of the community.
The PIoNEER-ExPREss, by the in
terest it takes in all matters pertaining
to the public welfare and the freedom
it extends to those who have light to
throw upon any public question, hopes
to attract to it's columns contributions
from it's most thoughtful readers on
living issues in which the people are
interested.
The fact that our correspondence
department has shown a tendency to
Increase in proportions when questions
of unusual interest are before the pub
lie, as, for instance, the division of
Pembina county, renders it necessary
to offer few suggestions to those who
may feel called on to address the pub
lie through our columns.
l. Keep to matters Of general inter-
est. A perso al squabble or neighbor-
hood row is not Il proper subject for
newspaper discussion. Itmay be that
such matters are often attended with
acts of great injustice to some one.
But newspaper talk can only aggrivate
the evil and never redress the injuries.
Some peoples minds become so agitat-
ell by long brooding over some neigh
borhood feud that they imagine there
has been some great eruption on the
body polite, whereas it was only a
tempest in q tea pot.
2. In treating upon public questions
do not drag in the names of private in
divilrals-and every man is private
individual who is not responsibility con-
nected with the issue in hand. Bear
this fact in mind. Your course on
this point will likely reveal your mo.
tive in writing, whether it is to throw
light on the subject OF take revenge
on some person you dislike. No
amount of apparent zeal or specious
talk can conceal your motive from
many keen observer.
3. If you feel called on to attack
some person, either openly or by Gov.
ert insinuation, sign your own name
for publication. Your course on this
point will show whether you have the
courage yourself that you like to
see in an editor.
4. Hard arguments are what tell,
and not hard words. Let us have ar.
guments, more arguments, lots OF
them. Our columns are wide open fol
them. Leave harsh words for those
who cannot comprehend the strength
of an argument.
We are not aware of having said a
word to hold back or embarrass any
one who has light to shed amongst the
increasing hosts of readers of the
PIONEER We are alike
anxious to hear from our readers who
have opinions to express, whether
agreeing with the editor or honestly
differing from him.

proofs Of what we said long ago,
that the root ofthe evil and the most
formidable obstacle to reform is the
widespread disqualification of public

standard of right and wrong is the
matter of the behavior of the cier-
