Democratic success-if success it may be
termed. We refer to the fact that the
Mugwumps supported Davenport for Gov
ernor We have always believed that the
great pretensions of the Eastern political
nondescripts were without foundation.
The Mugwump newspapers and leaders
took upon themselves most of the credit
for carrying the Empire State against
Blaine. Any one consulting Tribune
almanac will see that in several of the
counties of New York which had, pre-
vious to 's4, given large Republican ma
jorities, the prohibitlonists polled large
vote, and the Republican vote was pro-
portionately decreased To the prohibi-
tionists, and not to the Carlshirts party,
the responsibility attaches for Blaines de-
feat. The recent election proves that the
political power of the Mugwumps is in an
inverse ratio to their pretensions. The
Democrats will now have as little use for
them as tile Republicans. The election
of Hill will not be entirely destitute of
good results, if it shallsshow to the voters
of all parties the hollowness of the claims
of the political bowling dervishes of the
Mugwump stripe.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
In accordance with a long established
custom, the President Of the United States
has set apart Thursday, the Goth day of
November, as day of national thanks
giving and gratitude to Almighty God for
his manifold blessings during the year.
The citizens of the territory have more
than ordinary cause for thankfulness.
Though i'll fortune has attended some,
the masses have been abundantly blessed.
Peace and plenty are upon the land,
and prosperity in all its borders
1t is a season for gratitude, for benevo-
lence, tor charity. 1t is the day for the
prodigal to be welcomed, for differences
to be reconciled, for injuries to be. for
given.
l recommend, therefore, that the day
designated by the President be observed
throughout the territory by ceasing from
toll and by appropriate services IN church
and home. Let kindly deeds toward the
suffering aud destitute, and tender sym
pathy for those who are in sickness and
trouble, distinguish our observance of
this gracious time: Forgetting the strifes
and enmities of life, let us open wide the
doors of charity aud good will, remem-
bering that Cone touch of nature makes

Winter Reading.

1t appears to be notable fact that the best
farmers and the best stockmen are the very best
friends Of newspapers. 1t is generally the old
fogies and the ene'erdoweils, that scoff at "book
and newspaper larnin," and, if they are induced
to take their home county paper, they never
read it. The progressive farmers-those that
get from twenty to thirty bushels of wheat to
the acre, and own fine, fat, sleek cattle and
horses-are invariably men whose sitting-room
table will be generously supplied with not only
local newspapers, but agricultural Journals,
books relating to stock, to feeding. animals,
which contain the thoughts and experiments of
able men who devote their time and energies to
advance the cause of agriculture and to learn
how to produce more abundant crops, us well as
to surround their stock with the best conditions
for raising them successfully and probably.
Every farmer in the Northwest will be bene-
fitted greatly by subscribing to good agricultural
paper; and, if one is published near by, it Ger
tainly should be regular visitor in the family.
The Northwestern Farmer and Breeder" pub.
lished at Fargo, Oak, is doing good work
throughout the Northwest, and we have made
arrangements by which we offer it free to any old
subscriber to the RECORD paying what he owes
and a year i'll advance; or TO those whose pre-
paid year has partly expired, and who will pay
enough to again make their subscription year
in advances or to any new subscriber paying a
year in advance.
Sample copies of the Farmer" will be sent free
to those addressing Edward A. Webb, Fargo,
Oak.
Subscribers wishing TO pay up and secure the
Northwestern Farmer and Breeder should ap-
ply to or address the RECORD Buchanan OAK,
or call on H. A. Armstrong, Williamsport.

One day last week a team drove up to
the RECORD 6 front door; and, goingforth,
we discovered the good-natured counte-
nance of DR.. Roop peeping out from the
top of one of those huge overcoats which
Iowa people are compelled to put on as
soon as August departs. The doctor had
just closed up his cyclone cave for the
winter, and thought he would take a run
up into North Dakota and enjoy the
bright sunshine for awhile. The gentle
man was extremely fortunate, during his
visit here last summer, in securing, dirt
cheap, the fine timber claim near town
formerly belonging to John Huber. The
doctor will visit his brother, j. N. at
Roop, for two or three weeks, when, if
reports state that the tornadoes have re-
tired from business for the winter, lie
will return to wade in the mud and slush
of the Hawkeye State. Better come up
here TO live, doctor. Still, Dakota is a
poor place, for your. profession. Phys
icians and undertakers have hard lines to
encounter in healthful> North Dakota.

Was Afraid of the Eoot.Rot.

Mr.. L. H. Lilly, who had been sojourn-
ing in Montana for some months, is now
in Illinois, but is expected to arrive at
Williamsport in a few days. Latcr-Mr.
Lilly arrived home just as we were going
to press. He says he is glad to get back.
Down in Illinois there has been nothing
lately but rain-- -rain-rain. The corn is
rotting in the fields, and the wagons
sink in the mud half way to the hubs
Here in Emmons county the weather is
clear and warm, and load after load of
grain, weighing we'll on to forty hundred
drawn by a single team of medium size,
passes the RECORD office daily. No won
der the people Of the Missouri Slope are
happy and c6ntented. Mr. L, says he
left Illinois for fear of becoming afflicted
with foot-rot.

A Successful Dicker

We have made successful negotiation
with the dictionary publishers, and will
soon have "a great big, brand-new copy
of "Wcbster Ona.Bridge" (ancient goak).
When the book arrives. in order to peruse
the RECORD with satisfaction, it will be
necessary for each reader to sit with
similar volume at his elbow. The paper
has been running for a year and half on
25.cent dictionary. But the words'in it
have all been used up, and the purchase
of the more extensive work was an abso-
Lutte necessity.

She COuldn't Milk.

A lady in this county, being ignorant
Of tho art of extracting the lacteal fluid
from the meek-cyed bovine. determined
to add this to her other accomplishments.
So, taking tho milk-r pail. she sailed forth
to the stable, where two kline were delib-
