discovery of combination IN the terrific

a majority of two in that body, which

the ablest statesmen and most profound

THERE have been several quite animal.
ed discussions IN the territorial council
upon the subject of county government
Some favor the township supervisor sys-
tenn others the present three COMMISSION
ers system, and still others favor increas-
ing the number of county commissioners.
While the township supervisor system is
the more democratic because the more
thoroughly representative, being more
closely allied to and directly from the
people, it ls not practicable IN many OF
the counties OF North Dakota on account
of sparse settlement. Until county lines
become established more permanently
than upon the caprice Of the legislature
or townsitc speculators, the pi esent conf
missioner system seems to be the best.
The supervisor system of Illinois, referred
TO by one. of the members, is a good one,
and We believe has never been abandoned
by any county that has adopted 1t, but
some of the best and wealthiest counties
in that state still retain the county com
missioner system. We do not need conn

were not for the women suffrage bill now

Several of minor importance have already
been slaughtered in the house Of their

We can tackle without trepidatlon any

that most OF our piety was early in life.
In ordinary cases of conflict and conten

The women suffrage bill found it a
cold day on Its first appearance in the
council. The refusal OF the council to
refer it to a special committee and keep
1t out of the hands of the committee on
elections, majority of which are known
to be opposed to 1t, indicates an unfriend-
ly disposition of that body towards it..
Mr.. Nickeus opposed its reference to this
unfriendly committee but his motion was
voted down by five majority. 1t is possl-
BILE that some who voted against its refer
ence to special committee may vote for
the bill, but 1t is not very probable. 1t is

The Foster Csuuty Contest Case.

The answer to the complaint, Chauncey
Garfield against Bruce Waring, present
incumbent of the Office of Register OF
Deeds OF Foster county IS in substance
that the defendant, Warlng, denies that a
valid election was held in all precincts;
that majority of the votes cast were In
favor of Canield, the plaintiff, for regis
ter of deeds. He also denies that any lille.
gal votes were cast for defendant, Waring.
The answer alleges that the returns were
valid, showing that Waring was elected.
That the election in the precincts OF
Tomlipson and Helwig were not valid,
setting forth certain Irregularities which
appertaln to the qualification OF the
electors and the illegal manner in which
the election w&s held. The instrument
sets up specifically the number of illegal
votes cast in favor of Garfield and shows
the actual majority of the defendant,
Waring, for the office to have been 160.
The case promises to be one OF unusual
interest ami importance to Foster county
as well as to the gentlemen interested, "a,
it borders very closely upon another case
involving the location Of the county
seat, Messrs. Dodge, Nickeus and Camp
are for defendant, and Messrs. Wilson,
Ball. Wallen and Rose for plaintiff.

MUST THE ROLLER RINK GO!

The press, the pulpit and the medical
faculty of the east haye combined in a
war Of determination against the roller
skating rink, and it now looks as if this
great American craze, like the heather
Chinee, "must go" The ministry attack
it from captlous moral standpoint, plao-
ing il in the category with the dance, the
circus and the theatre. The medical
profession having studied the effect
upon its patrons pronounce against 1t
upon the grounds of health, and their
decision Is the worst blow the rink has
ever received from any source. Their
decision Is based principally upon abuse
of tho amusement, but the abuse is so
universal under the inspiration of music
and competition of skill that they are
constrained to declare against the rink it.
self. The press takes up both phases of
the subject and the people are withdraw
ng their patronage.
The proprietary question Of association
and opportunities of designing villains to
take improper liberties with young ladies
as urged by the ministers, are perhaps no
greater or more favorable at the rink than
in many other associate ms that are not
forbidden by either church or society,
and this objection ls purely censorious.
Of weight ana cannot be met exCvpt 1ucr "
facc With men and boys the effect is
not regarded so bad as uron g'rls and
women. DR.. Reamy,, professor "f OBJ
stctrics in medical college of Ohio, in
an interview with the Cincinnati En-
qu,rer, says: "Roller skating may posi-
bly, be indulgcd in to moderate degree
by young women without serious injury,
but have no hesitancy in the unquali-
fled statement that it Is an exercise for
which women are anatomically and phys
lologcally untitled. To indulge in this
exercise violently land they do not seem to
