Whereas; The interests of the people
have been bought and sold, and the
people themselves have been manipulate
ed like mere puppets by set of pro-
fess;onal scllemers and wire pullers; and,
Whereas; There is strong grounds for
believing that several of the offices in
the newly organized county of Cavalier
were bestowed upon the incumbents,
not because of their fitness to serve the
people, but simply because they either
had given, or else had promised to give
their support to the ring.
!. Therefore; Be it resolved by us,
the people of Cavalier county, that we
emphasize our right to the supreme con-
trol. of our own affairs.
2. Resolved; That We shall stand
shoulder to shoulder in the support of
this right, and that we will tolerate no
evasion, combination or double dealing
upon the part of those whom we chose
as our servants.
3. Resolved; That We hereby warn
those now in Office that the eyes of this
county are upon them, and that unless
they make straight paths for their feet
they will assuredly receive their punish
ment next November.
4. Resolved That we hereby instruct
them to keep clear of that baneful in
fiuence which, has all along been radiat-
ing from Pembina, and that they keep
constantly in mind the fact that Evil
communications corrupt good manners. ,
Resolved; That we caution all now in
office, or who expect to become candies
ates for office, that they cannot serve both
the people and the ring, and ifthcy are
known to be in any communication with
the ring they will Immediately be band
ed as enemies by the people.
9. Resolved; That any official who
seeks to retain his office by any other
means than the performance of faithful
service lays himself liable to sure and
swift deposition by the people,

Campmeeting,

esx1eeeSsSAASos
The Carlisle campmeeting opened on
Thursday last, the services not being
regularly commenced until Friday. Rev.
d. &. Planette, presiding elder, had gem
eral charge Of the meetings, being assisted
by ministers from the various charges in
the vicinity. The attendance was
very good considering the dampness of
the season and the frequent rains. The
number present on Sunday was about q
thousand and would have been several
times as large, doubtless. had the weather
been more favorable. The following
ministers were present, most of whom
preached and otherwise assisted in the
services: Rev's. Planette and Doran of
Grand Forks, Craig of st. Thomas.
Hamar and Williams of Hamilton, Mac
namara of Walhalla, Schram of Pembina,
Morrison of Drayton, Royce of Young,
and Kerfoot of Bathgate. Sermons were
also preached during the meetings by
the following local preachers: Messrs.
Smith and Healy of Drayton and Sym
ington and Briggs of Tyner.
Three sermons and three or four prayer
meetings were held each day, while the
sylvan temple was made to resound at
intervals with joyous hymns of praise.
1t was noticably favored time for a
few of the old Methodist war horses, who
80 seldom in this country have good
chance to get together and ring out their
shouts where nothing can restrain the
echo.
The success of the meetings this year
under somewhat discouraging circu,n-
stances is an evidence that with more
favorable conditions and better facilities
the Carlisle campmeeting will in future
years be increasingly successful.
