The Fargo Republican sails into the
political arena with Hon. James q. Blaine
as its preferred candidate for president.
Our contemporary could not we'll go far
ther for candidate but if it could it might
fare great deal worse. That the nomi-
nation of the "plumed knight" would
arouse great enthusiasm in the party all
over the country cannot he questioned'
and that he would be elected is scarcely
susceptible of doubt, but like Clay and
Webster he Is too magnlticently great to
obtain the nomination. He has been in
the councils of the nation so long and
mingled with the masses of the people so
little that the enthusiasm necessary to q
nomination can never be worked up
among the people before the delegates
are Gu osen to the convention. There is,
however, no greater statesman oD the
American continent to-day than the grand
aud illustrious James G. Blame, Of Maine,
but we do not believe that he can ever
obtain the nomination for president. His
presidential sun rose in the convention of
1876, at Cincinnati, and reached its
zenith in 1880 at Chicago with his 2s4
votes. AS a presidential possibility Mr..
Blaine Is laid on the shelf, as we verify
believe and very much regret.

THE democratic organs are straining a
point to make political capital out of the
vote of senator Sabin, of Minnesota, in
favor Of the FitZ John Porter bill. He
being chairman Of the republican nation
al committee they CLAIM it an indorse-
ment of the bill by the party. Just what
his vote as senator has to do with his
honorary political position on the nation
al committee they do not explain. The
Fltz John Porter bill was not party
measure though the parties divided upon
it in the final vote closer than ever be-
fore. The vote IN the final passage by
the senate was 36 IN favor and Is against.
The nays were all republicans, and all
but five voting in favor of it were demo-
Gratis. If the democrats wish to assume
the doubtful honor of wnltewashlng Gen.
Porter their claim will not be resisted by
the republican party. Senator Sabin is
responsible to the republican party of his
state for his vote on that bill, but his in
dividual responsibility as representative
of Minnesota IN the national senate IN no
way attaches to the republican national
central committee of which he happens
to be chairman.

The Fargo editor of the st. Paul Globe
still insists that the Alert and Chairman
Wells of the territorial central committee
with others are trying to carry this ter
rltory for Logan IN the delegation to the
national convention. If this Fargo man
has ascertalned how MIR. Wells stands
on the presidential situation he knows
more about 1t than the Alert has ever
been able to find out, for we have not
the least idea as to his preference. The
Alert is IN favor OF western man and
believes Logan to be the most available
OF any western man so far named, not
the most insignificant indication of which
is the warfare the democratic press Is
making upon him. The republican party
has long since learned that the best nom-
ination it can make is the one the dem

The Fargo correspondent of the st.

cerned sbout the republican convention

publican convention and the relations OF

agitated over the Logan boom, as they

to indicate he will be, the bourbons may

head 1t is suggestive that the DEM
ocracy oil over the country is trying to
down the Logan boom. Ii lie could be
so easily beaten as the democratic poll

they would favor instead of attempt to
defeat his nomination. There is method
in their madness and the republican

THE pastors of the various church or
ganizations IN st. Paul meet together
once a week and discuss scientific SUBJ
jects for their mutual ediication. The
subject of evolution has recently engaged
their attention and they are giving the
matter careful and deep study. While
they do not agree with Huxley most of
them lean more or less towards his the .
ory. They recognize the fact that science
carries with it a power and influence
upon the mind of the public that nett her
antagonlstic theology nor blind faith can

TIE the tide of immigration that is now
beginning to pour into North Dakota is
highly gratifying, especially to those who
have labored long and zealously for that
desired object. Many who lived in shacks
last year will this season build comforta-
ble farm houses and commence living at
home, as it were. The ground never fails
to yield good and profitable return for
the labor of the tiller of the soil, and
many who never before knew what it
was to cultivate their own land find them
selves IN n0ssession and absolute owner
ship Of what would be called large and
fine farms back east without any mort
gage or incumbrance upon them for the
purchase money. A great many who
took pre- emptions last year and proved
up in the fall are now taking homesteads
which will make them two farms of lGO
acres each with but little more expense
than the time and labor of making the
Improvements which in the end belong
to the settler who makes them. No coun-
try IN the world offers better advantages
in the way Of health and prosperity than
North Dakota, and the people in the
crowded states of the east are coming 10
realize 1t very sensibly as their immigra-
ton plainly shows.

THE farmers OF Minnesota are raising a
political breeze in that state and strong
efforts are beng made to organize . new
party in that special interest. Whatever
may be their grievances the remedy they
seek IN the formation OF 3 new party will
fail OF effect. That was tried and found
wanting few years ago in the granger
movement which for time swept like
wild tire over the western states. When
the organization became strong enough
in certain localities to elect members OF
the legislature and other officers dema-
gogues and town politicians tanned their
hands In the sun, sprinkled hayseed in

cred in the offices, and a. result the
party went 10 pieces like rope of sand.
A party TO have the necessary elements
of COHESION must embrace xll interests,
aud none other can reasonably hope TO
succeed. Ii the farmers Of Minnesota or
any other state would support the party
that would most probably give them the
relief they demand they wshld dnd theis
strength much more effective than in iso-
lating themselves.

THE Black Hills Journal. is disposed to
blame the warning factions from Dakota
ut Washington for the delay in the pro-
gress of the bill opening the Sioux reser-
vatlon. As there has been no opposition
to that measure except what little was
manifested at Blunt, IN the eastern part
OF Hughes county, we cannot see what
rttarding influence these contending
factions could have had upon the Jour-
nails pet measure. Our observation has
been that these factions, with the excep-
t,on named. favored the bill for opening
that reservation, and any dilatoriness
that may he complained of rests entirely
with congress and not with Dakota peo-
pie or factions. The land belongs to the
Indians and it must he remembered that
it requires the consent of the Indians as
well as the desire of the government to
make a bargain and transfer.

THE Fargo Argus of yesterday morn
ing published the call for the territorial
convention to appoint delegates to the
national republican convention 10 be
held at Chicago June 3rd. The place
and time fixed upon by the central COM
mittee is Huron, Wednesday April 23,
and the apportlonment is one delegate
from each organized county and one ad-
dltional for each $50 votes or majority
fraction thereof given the republican
candidate for delegate two years ago.
This gives Stutsman county four dele
gates in the Huron convention, the time
for the appointment, of which, and in
each county, is Wednesday. April lG,
and the time for holding the primaries to
select delegates to the county conventions
the Saturday preceding at two O'Clock IN
the afternoon. There can be no well
founded objection urged against the
place selected for holding the territorial
convection for it is perhaps the most
convenient of access to greater aggre-
gate number OF people OF all parts Of the
territory than any other place that could
have been selected. The time may be
objected to, by some on account of 1t be-
ing such a busy season of the year with
the farmers, but the same could as we'll
have been urged against later date. 1t
now remains for the members OF the re
publican party to do their duty and avail
themselves of their privilege in sending
representative and influentia! men as
delegates to the national convention,
men who will not only cast the two votes
of the territory in making the nomina-
ton but will have weight and influence
with other delegations. These two dele
gates should be selected one from the
southern and one from the northern part
of the territory and We believe such di-
vision of the delegation will be mutually
conceded

THE prominence which Col. Lounsberr,

THE prominence which Col. Lounsberry
has attained for the appointment as the
successor of Gov. Ordway has brought
ont some heretofore unknown aspirants
for the office, among which is Deering, Of
Iowa. No doubt every state in the union
could furnish half dozen governors for
Dakota, whose general qualifications
might be unexceptionablc, but while We
have equally capable men among citizens
Of this territory we may rightfully resist
by all moral and legitimate means the i'm
portation of governor. 1t IS the princi-
pie of the thing that We contend for. A
man, such as Col. i.ounsberry, who is
identified by long residence in the terri
tory with all Of her material interests
would certainly be better qualified ex-
ecutive than stranger to our people and
the developing interests of the North
west. Dakota IS settled up from the more
intelligent classes of the states aud 1t
would be SIMPLY an outrage TO have a
man appointed over this people as their
executive who would have no other in.
tsrest than his official position IN the ter
ritory. Col. Lounsberry is an olio ptizen,
thoroughly qualified for the position, and
his appointment would be almost unani-
mously satisfactory to our citizens in all
sections, and any means used to set him
aside and give the appointment to man
from, auv of the sf ates viii make more Or
less disaffectlon IN the republican party
and will bear evil fruit at some future
time. Personal envy or local jealousy may
prompt some to oppose Col. Lounsberry
and even prefer an outsider ON the prin-
clple that they "would rather reign in
hell than serve in heaven,'' but they are
not the best Of either our citizens - .
whole or Of the republican party IN this
territory.
