GRAND Forks, d. I. July o.
The trial of the murderers OF Fred
and Cearlie Ward, who were killed
at Devils Lake year ago last May
by hired assass ins, bids fair to
be one OF the most remarkable ever
held in the territory. The most
eminent counsel in the country have
been maintained on both sides, and
every preparation made by both
prosecution and defence for contest
ing inch by inch every step to be
gone over. Twelve men are on
trial for the crime, among whom is
a prominent army officer, and other
men of note in this section The
greatest interest prevails among all
classes as to the result, and every
action OF the counsel aud Judges
is largely caught up and commented
upon by waiting crowds. Since the
arrest Of the murderers last summer
Col Uline, Will Harrington, b. w.
Lair, aud G. Ledfori. lave been at
liberty under heavy bonds, while
the eight Others implicated have
been languishing in Jail. But while
the four have been at liberty
the eight others have not been idle.
1t seems there has been growing
feeling among them that injustice is
being done by allowing those equal

were confined, and this feeling

NOMINATING FROM THE CRADLE.

The Washington Sunday Gazette
has this to say in regard to the
nomination of Frank Sperry, to as
sociate justice Of the supreme court
of Dakota
/ The president has distinguished
himself by making an appointment
which in every sense is simply RI
diculous. He nominated to the as
sociate justice of the supreme court
of Dakota a Young boy, named
Frank Perry. Mr.. Perry is well
known in Washington as the pria
vurr srrrcrary or the ppniIt1enr INF
beetle who presides over the Treas
ury Department. In appearance
Sperry does not look to be more
than twenty years of age, and in the
nature of things is only boy. He
cannot be much over the legal age,
if he is that If he knows any
thing about law, then nobody in
Washington is aware of the fact.
1t is a maxim of the law that no
man is fit to be judge, or ought to
be a judge, without having that in
innate experience with the law
which can only como from many
years practice of the science. Brit
ton, one of the standard luminaries
of the english common law, says in
barbarous Latin, that the "rtyinti
tucubrutiocs oRporunt"--the bard
study oftwenty years necessary
to iii Il man for the responsible po-
sition OF jud. .e. There is no more
responsible place in the world than
that Of a member Of the bench. He |
sits in Judgment over the lives, the |
liberty, the property of his fellow |
citizens. There is no appeal from
his decisions, except to another
judge. Even, therefore, were his
educational qualifications sufficient,
the uniformed and immature char
acter of boy renders him unfit for
such a grave and responsible posi-
ton. Only 4 man OF mature age /
and thought, a settled man, Is fit for
such a position. 1t is a scandal ii
srleyous seandal-that any other
kind of II man should be selected to
be a judge,
But reversing this rule which,
among English speaking people have
never been QUESTIONED. PrrsfreDsf
Arthur has gone TO the cradle for a
person to be an associate Judge of
.he supreme court Of Dakota.
From the very nature of things this
cannot have the qualification
necessary 10 ill satisfactory such a
responsive position, ne nomlna-
tionis an oatlase upon the whole
egal fraternity, and W. Sc than an
outrage upon the people OF Dakota.
TO practically put "A baby upon the
bench may be paying a political
lebt, but il is an act that all men,
no matter what thir politics, viii

utterly inexcusiblc, and cannot fail

The people OF Dakota
have right to be heard by all the
country. And, of course, the Senate
will unanimously reject the nomina-
ion.

HlllSdale Items.

Mr.. H. C. Redding, who has been Wis
iting his parents the past winter, Away
down South in Dixie" has returned to
his old home in the mountains. It has
been twenty -seven years since he has
been back to his old North Carolina
home. While there he made wager
with some Of his friends that he would
raise larger hog than they could in the
old Tar State. Since his return he has
bntchered two hogs weighing in the ag-
gregate of 1000 pounds. One weighed
526 and the other 474. We do not think
the old North State can beat this. Mr..
Redding also has one of the finest bulls
in the county-short horn and will weigh
$500 pounds. A brother of Mr.. Redding
came back with him, and is long for this
life, standing six feet, six inches hi.h.
He is much pleased with Montana.
Everything quiet here; but we are all
hopeful ofgood times coming.

Some young men went out to Church,
. On last Sunday night;
: The preacher found them in the lurch.
And aching for fight.
J. What the preacher said was true,
"Cleanse myself young man,
Or never try to carry through
The matrimonial plan"
ri you would pure gold secure
y. Golden you must be
Or else your love will not endure,
!. !. For time, much less eternity"
And thus the preacher made them shoes;
Into which they skipped,
Each stepped in with perfect ease;
And found pinching fit.
Then the silly fellows squealed,
~ And gave themselves away;
Clear - sunshine they revealed,
! What characters they had that day.
: And now young ladies you can see
What they have really been;
:: So to reject them, you'll be free:

But when they have repented true,
And led q better life,
Should they as suitors come to WOO
