So far IS our exchanges have expressed
themselves upon the subject Of the result
OF the Ward murder trial there is unity
of condemnation, and none more emphat-
ic than by the papers of Grand Forks
where the case of one of the parties, and
the strongest case was tried and the ac-
cused acquitted, which verdict was tol-
lowed by nolle prosequi as to the others
on motion OF the prosecuting attorney.
This action Of district attorney Ball may
be criticised by some but his reasons for
it as stated IN court, and IN which Judge
Hudson agreed, will amply justify him
in that course. He reasoned that an &C.
qulttal in the strongest case would have
its additional influence in favor of an &C.
quittal in the weaker cases. Further, by
dismissal of the indictments at that
stage Of the proceedings 1t restored the
parties to the position before the law they
were in before any legal proceedings were
had, and they may at any future time be
proceeded against BY indictment and 1rlal
for the crime should circumstances or de-
velopments make conviction probable,
while if they had proceeded to trial under
the present indictment and condition Of
the evidence and acquitted it would for
ever bar any further prosecution no mat
ter what evidence of guilt might be dc
veloped in the future. These reasons are
amply sufficient to justify district attor.
ney Ball in making the motion to dismiss
and Judge Hudson in granting 1t. With
the exception of Lair, who is now forever
free from penalty for this crime, having
once been put IN jeopardy of life and lib
erty for the otfense-the jeopardy, how :
ever, not very serious. 1t seems-the &C
cused all, except LAIR as We have said,
have this liability of prosecution hanging
over them which is condition OF sus-
pense little preferable to confinement IN
the peiitentiary.

THERE seems to be conflict between
the territorial law and the organic act
with reference to the manner of investing
the clerks Of the district courts with off-
cial powers. Sec. IL, of chapter 43 of the
last session laws provides .or the election
of clerk of the district court in each or
gsn,zed county, at the general election
in 1884 and biennially thereafter. There
is proviso to this section that in the
counties of Moody and Brookings such
clerks should be elected at the November
election in 1888 and thereafter as other
wise provided for in this act On this
subject the Fargo Argus says:
"The question has been raised as to the
election of the clerks of the court The
organic act of the territory specifically
states that the judges of the United States
district court shall appoint clerks This
is held to settle the question as to Fargo,
the Black Hills and Yankton. The law
directing the election of clerks of the
court. as passed by the last legislature,
pIOvlOCS Su0t III tAO COuutlCo VI D1OV0"
ings and Moody clerks should be elected
in 1883, which was d,ne. This Is in
Judge Palmer's district, which has not
United States jurisdiction. In the couu-
ty Of Moody, Judge Palmer appointed q
clerk who was elected IN 1883, in order t.
settle the question definitely. The clerk
was elected in Broskings, took possession
Of the Office and kept the same, until
Judge Palmer held court there, when he
appointed another clerk, but the one elec-
ted refused to turn over the Office to his
successor, and it is understood that the
sppointee has taken the case to the SUI
preme court, which is to be in session
prior to the next election, and will I'm
doubtedly pass on tue validity of the law.
The question raised is, "Can the legisla-
ture of Dakota compel the election of
clerks O; the court, an Office which has
heretofore been held to be an appelntive
one, in the gift Of the presiding judges?'

The temperance revival which has so
deeply affected the Democrats of Augusta
msto be, up to the present time, purely
local affair. No farther away than Belfast
the Democracy are still joined to their idols.
The Age, the organ of the Democracy of
that city, contains this week long plea for
the whiskey distillers which will make the
heart of its recently converted Augusta
namesake heavy with grief. The prospect
of the obstruction of ten million dollars
worth of distilled spirits" which it sees in
the marrow, destructive and unstatesman-
like course of the Republicans in Congress"
relative to the whiskey extension bill is
viewed by the Age with alarm and to its
Democratic soul it "seems inconceivable, that
men arrogating to themselves the character
of Statesmen and Legislators could oppose a
measure so just and reasonable as this
measure to allow the whskey men to avoid
paying their taxes two or three years longer.
Furthermore it believes "they are urged for
ward in their opposition by fanatical SEN
timent on the temperance question" What
the Age will say when i,learns that the bill
for which it pleads SO eloquently has been
defeated by the aid of Democratic votes re-
mains to be seen. 1t will be easy, however,
to explain the Democratic vote against the
bill without attribuling 1t to "fanatical
sentiment on the temperance question"
The small distillers who flourish in the
Southern States and who give SO much
trouble to the revenue officers had much
more to do with it than any "fanatlcal tenn
perance sentiment"

The Cincinnati Democrats had conven-
ton the other day, which was made up, as
all Democratic inventions there since the
Payne-McLean combination overthrow PEN
dleton, chiefly of the rum and rowdy ele
ment of the population. Contrary to Gus
tom no resolutions we're passed, and when
one of the leaders was asked the reason of
the neglect, he replied, that there was no.
body in the convention capable of preparing
safe resolutions on the tariff or the Scott
liquor law, and they thought it would be
better to let the party "run on its reputa-
tion." The fact is that the party in the Ma
tional campaign, no matter what safe and
meaningless resolutions it may adopt, has
got to run on it's reputation, and that is its
greatest difficulty. What reputation it is!
The tool of the slave power, the confidant
of rebels, the ally of the rum interest, the
shelter of the Ku-Klux Klan, the opponent
of general education, the oppressor of free
labor, and with accumulated evidences of
mischievous purposes and administrative in
capacity spread all over the record of the
nation for two generations past. If the
Democratic party could only get rid of its
reputation 1t would be quite happy and hope
full. 1t tried to do 1t by supporting Greeley
and Brown but was unable. Its reputation
is like the criminals ball and chain, and is
SO securely fastened to it that it cannot es-

We are in receipt of several communica-
tions asking the PRESS to give the names of
the members of The BNycotting Association,
or of the committee which met at the Fal-
mouth Hotel. The PRESS is not at liberty
to publish the names, of the persons who
gave the information published for they re-
quested that their names should not be ma lie
public. We may say, however, that several
citizens well known in the community, were
present when the statement of the matter was
made to our reporter, that he wrote it out
aud read it to them and thatit was approved
by them as correct ia every particular, the
gentlemen present explicitly stating that
they themselves constituted the committee
of the association that had been formed as
they represented, and for the purposes rep
resented. Tbey stated that they desired to
have the article published and we're willing
to pay for 1t if necessary. But we were very
glad to publish an item of news of such gen..
eral and peculiar interest without other
compensation than the satisfaction of pleas

BY his own request Mr.. Sa gent has been
transferred from Berlin to st. Petersburg.
Thus has been happily solved vexatious
fi:ulty which had its origin in stupid
blunder on the part of the State department.
Mr.. Sargent's unpleasant position at Berlin
was due to no fault of his own. On thu
contrary his conduct there has deserved;
and received, the hearty endorsement of the
government and the people of this country.
recall, or transfer even, except at his own
request, would have been looked upon as a
cowardly compliance with the wishes of the
naughty German chancellor and provoked a
storm of indignation. AS long as he cared
to remain it was the duty of the Govern
ment to support him, and there is every rea-
son 10 believe that this was the view of the
President and State department. But
when an avenue was opened by which he
could escape with honor from bis unpleas-
ant predicament it was wisdom OH the part
of Mr.. Sargent to avail himself of it and
wisdom on the part Of the President to al
low him to do so.

Nine of the Roosevelt bills designed to re-
form the government of New York city
came up in the Assembly by special order on
Wednesday, and the Democrats undertook
to stave off the consideration of them by all
sorts of obstructive tactics, bowling being
among the most prominent. They assem-
bled 10 the middle aisles and completely
drowned the voice OF the speaker with their
boots and yells. The sergeant-at-arms was
called in to quiet the disturbance, when the
Democrats took their seats. AS soon' now
ever, as an attempt was made to go Oh Win
the business, hooting aud yelling was re-
newed. This performance continued lof
several hours. Its only result, however,
was to waste time, for the Republicans
managed 10 maintain the bills in their pres
ent advanced position on the list.

invective and there is no doubt, II he should
become the recognized Tory leader, that he
would make things lively. The trouble is
that his capacity begins and ends with his
ability to "throw mud' and to anything
