COMMISSIONERS CREEL places himself
on record as being opposed to spending
county money for the purpose of BOOM
ing Devils Lake. Tally n for Heber.-
Bartlett Courier.
Yes. The party from the second
(who lives in the third) was suddenly
seized with a freak of economy when
the other two commissioners proposed
to pay the INTER- OCEAN $50 for pamph-
lets, but when his organ, the News, put
in a proposition to sell the county $500
worth of "boom Sheets" he thought lit
would be a good thing and the county
ought to do something" Messrs. Rum
ney and Barton, however, didn't think
the county could afford to pay out $500,
and so they decided to buy $50 worth
from each of the two papers. The
party from the second failing to get $500
exclusively for his organ, the News, he
then desired to place his name on record
against any appropriation whatever.
Tally two for Hebe!

We print this week from the Towner
County Tribune an elaborate article on
the Big coulee country. We don't
know whether Col. sibley gets a bonus
from the county commissioners for this
excellent write up or not, but We do
know that it is the most comprehensive
sketch Of that country ever published.
Towner county could we'll afford to help
such enterprise along, but the trouble
with Col. Slbley is hat he has no cheek
and can't lie worth a cent. Had he
gone before the board and asked for q

WOMAN suffrage is cutting a large
figure at Bismarck, and a bill to give
the ballot to our mothers, wives and
daughters has passed the house and will
go to the council. Barring that very
strong-minded class of women who
would Immediately don brooches of the
male gender if they got the ballot, there
are thousands of level-headed females in
the land whom we would like to see at
he polls. Put the ballot in woman's
hands and there will be less corruption
tin politics; women can't be purchased
and driven to the polls like cattle. And
as for intelligence, God never made a
woman who didn't know right from
wrong, or n who would barter he,
ballot for "booze." This is much more
than can be said of a great many who
call themselves men. Let her vote.

ell Capital, "labored with the house and
were assured that the bill for division
now pending in that body would be
passed before the close of the present
session. The senate's bill, however,
will be amended by striking out the
clause providing for the admission Of the
south halt. If this information proves
to be correct, the result will be crafty

HI new PRESIDENT,

Interviews with a number Of Repub-
lican leaders in Washington disclose a
feeling toward the incoming admins
tration that would indicate a disposition
to approve of any act of MI. CIeveland's
tending in the direction of pure politics
and a wholesome execution of the laws.
In other words, the Republican party,
during its long lease of power, having
piloted the ship of state out of a rugged
sea into placid waters and established
the credit of the country upon an invin-
chile basis Of solid and permanent
security, is disposed to encourage Mr..
Cleveland in his promised continuation
of peaceful methods and progressive
measures.
In view of the attitude of the Demo-
Gratis when they were last in power, and
their steadfast opposition to all legisla.
ton proposed or enacted by their polit-
ical opponents during and since the
war, the statesmanlike %utterances of
those Republicans who today are liberal
enough to accredit honest political mo-
tives to Mr.. Cleveland and offer to JUS
tain him in carrying out a benefcent
policy, are deserving of the highest
commentator. 1t shows most emphat-
ically that there are Republicans suffi-
GENTLY broad minded to rise above the
dogmatism of party and indorse what
ever of patriotism and wisdom there
may be developed in the policy of the
incoming president. Thus we have be-
fore us the spectacle of Republican en-
couragement extended to a political
party that has systematically opposed
every measure engrafted into the form
of government so long maintained by
the Republican party.
Next Wednesday Mr.. Cleveland will
take his seat rs president of the United
States. There will be "much pomp
and ceremony" and thousands of men
who have grown gray hoping and work.
ing for the overthrow of the Republican
party will be on hand to swell the throng
and lay their wires for personal and po-
litical favors. MI. Cleveland's ~reticence
on the question of his Jacksonian in
clinations has given the eager multitude
that is gathering at the capital sore
concern. The "victors" are determined
to have the "spoils" or a row. As the
applicants are about fourteen times
more numerous than Offices, it would
seem to a disinterested observer that a
row is inevitable, and if Mr.. Cleveland
succeeds in keeping his civil service
flag ahoat an open revolt is likely to
ensue.
The management and disposition of
the federal patronage will be the most
serious part of Mr.. Cleveland's duties
He has announced that he will not only
insist upon a thorough observance of
the civil service law as it especially per-
tains to certain offices, but he will also
apply it in spirit to other branches Of
the public service hitherto held as COM
mon party property. This lisa courage.
Gus proclamation. Its fulfllment will
make the new president millions of
friends among the masses and many
enemies among the of6ce-seekers. 1t
will require the concentrated essence Of
:'sand," stamina and backbone to carry
it out.
1t is the duty of all citizens to sustain
the new president in any and all efforts
