The President has put his foot down
in the matter of his difference with the
Senate and is firmly supported by the
members of his cabinet. He will doubt
less maintain the prerogative Of his
office which is assailed absolutely with
ont impair. He is that sort of . man.
He will preserve the rights of the coun-
try's executive inviolate, and he will be
supported by the people. The vapor-
ings of Republican Senators which will
now be heard will he AS naught in. the
popular ear save the despairing outcries
of dying party. They will be easily
recognized as final struggle after party
capital which even if it could be gained
would now be of no avail. The so-callec
"g. o. p" is "in articulo mortis. ."-Ro.

We picked up one Of Bob Ingersolls
books short time since, and sketchsd
along, here and there. In one place he
says: "That he knows not whether he
existed before he was born into this
world or not, and knows not whether he
will have an existence after this life.
But there is hereafter the best we can
do is to make every body happy This
famous man might have quoted the apos-
tie where he says, to do good and CON-
municate forget not, for with such sacri-
fees God is we'll pleased" Pity it is
that man like Ingersoll, with his elo-
quent speech and requirements, should
devote his life in trying to uproot the
happiness of millions who have placed
their hope Of heaven upon divine inspir-
alton that he labors continually 10 de.

Monticello C0nstitution There ara more
Northern visitors in Monticello the present sea-

with the town and its Surroundings. We learn
that small party of Northern ladies' and gen.

OF the Wacissa river. They engage in fishing
and hunting, and have been quite successful in
said sports. 1t is evident that Captain r. G.

A Dakotan Interviewed.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

INK IEeSS.
1--WE Dakotans are not talking politics
very much just now" said a prominent
politician OF the great territory to a Pho.
neer Press reporter the other night, as
he tried to catch a Whit of fresh air at
the entrance to the Merchants.
"But, said he, "as l am seeking for
no Office, and have no axes to grind, it
won't hurt me to talk a little if you want
me to. You would be very much sur.
prised if you could get on to the thou.
sand schemes that are being put up by
would-be legislators. The prospect now
is that the fall campaign will be very
lively, providing everything goes right.
But the schemes of many of them will
be nipped in the bud by the bill before
congress limiting to almost nothing the
power of the legislatures of the terrific.
ries. You may not know here in con
sentative Minnesota, but I assure you
that in Dakota a constant mild reign Of
terror exists among property owners,
There is now no limit to the indebted.
ness that county and municipal corpor.
atoms can incur. There is no limit to
the county division and county bonding
schemes that can be pushed through.
Scores of hopeful legislators are promis.
ing politicians in one part of u county
that they will give them a county seat
in exchange for votes. The Dakota leg.
islature last year harrassed all interests
to quote Beaconsfeld's remark about
Gladstone. No man felt safe. His back
yard was as likely to be cut in two by a
new county line as not. This year plans
for a great many more jobs are being
laid, and laid with all the skill imagin-
able. But that safety bill will pass con-
gress, and Dakota will be spared. A
great many Of us won't care then If the
territory Is neither admitted to statehood
nor divided. 1t will be delightful place
to live in when our rulers will no longer
be able to run us head over ears in
debt"
GLOW about your delegate to con.
gress? p asked the reporter.
"Uncertain. The Fargo Argus is try
ing to boom Gen. Allen. 1t has nothing
especially against Judge Clifford, but it
is not ut all probable that Allen will be
able to control even the Cass county
delegates. scarcely think Clifford will
be renominated, although he deserves
it. The methods of delegates and con-
ventions are not at all conducive to the
nomination Ola man who should be
honored. Probably a dark horse will
be cbosen-one who has not made him.
self obnoxious to divisionists or anti.
divisionists."
