The attempt to connect mr.
Blaine with the knownotnins
party ha, proved dismal failure.
Hv,. one Of the silliest OF the
countless camgaign lies that have
b.1n aimed at him. Thousands OF
Ir;.hmen in Maine proved by their
hearty support of the Republican
ticket recently that they knew
it to be = piece Of gratuitous men
daeity, and We shall probably hear
little more Of it during the rest OF
the canvass.
And now suppose Mr.. Cleveland's
friends turn their attention to ms
Knownothing record. For, unlike
Mr.. Blaine, the Democratic Presl.
DENTAL candidate has record OF
that .ort In 1860 he voted, among
others. for the following Prssiden-
tial Electors:
J. Depeyster Ogden, OF New
York; Know-nothing.
Daniel B. St. John, Of orang'-
a Know-nothing.
William Kent, Of Dutshess-a
Know-nothinx.
James Kidd, Of Albany
Know-nothinx.
Henry H. Ross, Of Essex
Know-nothing
John Mum, of Oneida-a Know

James N. Pulver, Of Ontario
now-nothing.
Miles H. Finch, of Tompkins-'
Know-nothing.
Charles II. Carroll, Of Steuben--
aKnow-nothing.
Lorenzo Burrows, Of Orleans:
Know nothing.
These ten Know-nothings fol
whom Grover Cleveland voted TO-
Presidential Electors received thei
credentials from the Know-nothins
State Convention which met IL
Utica in July, 1860. The fact tina
thew were the accredited represent
atives of the party that found it
mission in waging war against tn
Irish and Germans voters, and al
other foreign born citizens, did nc
prevent him for from supportin
them for high Office. And ye
Democratic managers have the ST
pr.me folly to INTRODUCES the Know
nnthing issue into the present COZ
test.
Il would be interesting to hea
from Carl Schurz on this Know
nothing feature Of his candidate
record. For Mr.. Schurz took spe
ial pains in 1859 to warn the Ge
mans against the ticket contalniI
the names OF these know-Eothlr
Electors that received Mr. Clev

some of the papers in South Dakota
are beginning to indicate an issue of the
coming legislative contest, as the Alert
suggested several months ago they would,
that of the removal Of the capital from
Bismarck, if the supreme court should
decl,'e the present removal legal and VAL
id. 1t is contest that is inevitable un-
der such condition of the case, and CO n
only be avoided by the division of the ter
ritory. 1t will be contest IN which
South Dakota will outnumber the North
TWO to one, and there can be but one re
suit of such q contest. The attitude of
Bismarck against DIVISION is inexplicable
in the face of the glaring fact that she
cannot in any reasonable probability re-
tain the capital OF the undivided terrific.
ry of Dakota, but probably would be by
general consent conceded the capital Of
North Dakota. To oppose DIVISION is in
effect to oppose Bismarck as the cspi.
tai. South Dakota can and will elect q
solid legislative delegation for removal OF
the capital If the circumstances require
IL. Contests over the seat Of government
IN either county, territory or state are no.
torious for their bitterness and pertinaci-
ty, and rarely ever end except with the
generation IN which they are lnsugura-
ted

TIE action OF Prince Bismarck in re
turning the resolution of coincidence ten.
dered the German government by the
congress of the United States on the death
of Herr Lasker IS simply contemplate.
The expression of sympathy was one that
no prime minister of Germany will ever
have occasion to return for Bismarck 1t
was perhaps actuated more from jealousy
of the esteem IN when Lasker was held IN
Germany than anything else. Bismarck
Is a man of great ability and his hatred of
anything IN the nature of democratic gov
ernment IS notorious. More than thirty
years ago he boldly declared that all great
cities should be swept from the face of
toe earth because they We're centers of
democracy and consttuIionalism. Wher-
ever he has had the power he has shown
himself tyrant and despot. In 1862,
after being confirmed by the upper cham
Der of deputies as minister of foreign af-
fairs he dissolved the lower chamber that
rejected him and proceeded vindictlvely
against the newspapers, public officers
and others who protested against the des-
potIc act.

THE Mitchell Republican thinks the
Alert is ungenerous in jumping onto the
100000 monument scheme for which
that town asks congress to appropriate a
township of government l'n1s. On gen
eral principles we are opposed to the gov
ernment appropriating either lands or
m 'ney for the purpose of building monu
ments to either an idea, as was the home
stead law, or to individuals. The pr,n-
ciple IS wrong. The government with all
it has and is belongs to the people, and
such appropriate n is taking what belongs
to the people without their consent and
devotlng it to sentiment which is in
violence of that of many VIII are thus in.
directly compelled to contribute to it.
There is no stopping place to such appro.
priatons. One is precedent tor another,
and so on ad irfinitum. The Alert not
only would have no objection to the peo-
pie of Mitchell building monument to
the homestead law themselves, and to
the pre.emption and timber culture laws
as we'll, but would commend their enter
prise, but they must not dra n on the gov
eInment to foot the bill.

Their are some things which the great
Fred Douglass admits that he cannot un.
derstand with all of his accredited wis.
dom on the question of race mixing and
race distinctions. He asserts that there
are millions of his race in the United
States whose original hues are half
whitened ny the blood of white fathers,
and that he knows of a late high Official
IN Washington who had ten children and
the unmarried mother of these children
was colored woman. In view of these
things he cannot understand why they
should raise such row with him for
marrying white woman. 1t IS evident
that old Fred is the wrong passenger for
some who even fly high in official circles
to wake up. He has been too close an
observer and has too good memory to
be safe man to provoke with criticism
that calls for recriminatl0n.

THE war on Ordway IN Washington
goes bravely on. A flank movement was
made on him yesterday which Is likely to
down him effectually.

THE proposition of the Cass county
commissioners for meeting or conveu-
ton OF those of all the counties in the
territory to confer together upon the
necessary changes In the laws in refer,
ence to the government of counties Is q
good one and we hope 1t Will be carried
out. A more central place than Fargo
might be found in which to hold the con.
ference, but perhapsa net more acces-
slble point. The commissioners who
have had experience in these matters
have better and more practical ideas upon
the subject than many of the members OF
the legislature and 1t IS right and proper
that they should suggest aAd advise the
law making body upon the subject. Be-
sides this the commissioners themselves
would profit by an interchange of ideas
with reference to their own discretionary
powers and legal duties IN the trarsac-
ton of business.

The reports from Washington in refer
erence to Dakota affairs in congress are 50
numerous and conflicting that none of
item seem entitled to credence The ad-
yocate of division, with the wish the
father of the thought, sees the success Of
that scheme; and the opponent of the
measure likewise sees its allure The
asa whole Dakotan sees the
success of that scheme and the opponent
with equal confidence predicts its fail ure.
The bill introduced by senator Harrison
yesterday Tor the admission of Dakota
will be straw for the advocates of tha'
measure to catcn at but 1t will .lot survive
the committee, and if 1t should and pas
the senate 1t will be KILLED IN the house.
There is no possibility that any Dakota
measure will succeed that is vigorously

THE Fargo r republican advocates the
incorporation of provision in the con
stitution of this territory, when it shall
be formed, making it obligatory upon the
legislature to cen act laws requir ng every
legal voter to vote at every election under
suitable penalty" In the spirit of our
government the elective franchise is po.
litical privilege and outside of this 1t is
more or less moral duty depending upon
the interests involved in the questions to
be voted upon. Such q law as the Re-
publican suggests would be an innova-
ton upon the fundamental theory of our
government, but still on that account
alone cannot be rejected, for to do so
would be to take q stand against progress.
W. grant that the question has two sides
to it and IS susceptible of strong argu-
ment on both 1t is very ppropriate SUBJ
ject of thought for our people now viii
on the eve of admission into the union
when the question of qualification, privi.
lege or duty of our citizens in this regard
must be settled in the fundamental law.
We however most heartily agree with
our contemporary that ''it is contrary to
the genius of American institutions to
impose a tax of any kind upon the elec-
tive franchise, or make the paymen: of
tax of any kind the test of citizenship"
There are still a number Of unsettled the
ories connected with the elective fran
Chlse.

WITHOUT ary intention of rejecting
upon the past or present administration
of county affairs OF tho se of the city :he
Alert wishes to point out q danger into
which either or both are liable to fall,
that 1t may be avoided, and that Is e1-
truvagance. In the flush Of development
and prosperity the disposition IS to ex-
travagance both IN public aud private
affairs, and usually in both cases The mis-.
take is not discovered until the indlvld-
ual or public corporation Is more or less
involved. "Pay as you go" is t motto
the financial wisdom of which has been
attested by the experience of ages. In
the development of town or county this
is not practicable nor always the best
policy, but even IN these it is q good
basis of action. Bonds are an incum.
brance equivalent to mortgage, subject
to which the seller sells and the buyer
buys, aud 1t is matter which the shrewd
business man will investigate before max
ing a purchase. Indebtedness means
taxes and high taxes means depreciation
of the market value of the property from
which the tax is to be realized There
are cases where the advantages secured
by contracting Indebtedness much more
than compensates for the depressing in
huence of the incumbrance but Care
should be taken to only contract such
liabilities as will do this.

IT is urged that Dakota could be ad-
mltted into the union as state at the
same time With Montana and unless this
v consented to by the people our territory
will have to remain outside the federal
fold indefinitely. Montana has formed
constitution, which, however, has not
yet been ratified by the people, but Da
kota has none, and we do not see how We
could be admitted without constitution,
nor how, in the present and prospective
condition of things. we could make ap.
plication for admission simultaneously
with Montana. We do not bel that
the people of this territory are so anxious
for admission that they would sacrifice
their long cherished desire for division
for the sake of statehood.

THE bill agreed upon for opening the
Sioux reservation seems to have more vir-
tues than faults, and is probably the best
that will be offered or agreed upon by the
committee. In substance its provisions are
that the part OF the reservation between
the White river on the south and the big
Cheyenne on the north, comprising $4,000
square miles, shall be opened for home
stead entry only, without the privilege
of communication, the claimant being re !,
qulred to reside thereon the flu five years
aud a. the time of entry to pay, together
with the usual fling fee, the sum of twen-
ty cents per acre, the latter amount to go
toward gratuity or extra compensation
to the Indians 1t Is not probable there
will be any great rush of settlement into
that locality upon these conditions so long
as so much other government land can
be had in other parts of the territory on
the better terms of the general homestead
and pre.empt,on laws, but it will open
the way and ultimately secure perma
nent aud substantial settlement 1t will
make the extension of the Chicago s
Northwestern railroad rom Pierre to the
Black Hills practicable, which alone will
be an advantage that will In Its vicinity
more than compensate for the extra twen-
ty cents per acre required of the CLAIM
ant This bill, or one not less favorable,
should pass, not because the land is ac-
tually needed for settlement but in justice
to the Black Hills country which has long
suffered great inconvenience for want of
railro-d communication on account Of
being cut of from the balance of the
world. so to speak, BY this vast waste
held oy the Indians, and Consequently
forbidden ground to the wheels of pro.

enthusiasm called presidential boom for
Logan, not only In this territory but all
over the country, and more than any
where else in his own native state, the
scene of his early struggles with adver-
sity aud persecution aud of his later trl-
