THE mantle of the late reformer, Col.
Burke of the Governors staff, has de-
sccnded as surely, and flaps as titfully
around the legs of the present manage
ment of the Evening Capital, as ever it
did around the handy appendages of its
predecessor. In speaking of the trustees
management of the territorial institution
here, it says: SIN due time the facts and
figures will be given from the record, and
they will not be suppressed for fear of in
juring home institution either" Who's
trying to suppress them? They are mat
ters of public record, open at all times to
investigation -and courted no doubt by
the trustees. II there is anything in the
records that will lnjure the home institu-
ton the injury is done IN suppressing
1t. Gov. Pierce should know it, the
bad republicans should be "t1red," and
good democrats put IN. That is Andrew
jackson simplicity IN the rowdy west, and
that is what would happen, If the Capital
had any grounds for Its attack it has
none and knows it.

THE old, familiar, chronic print ting kick
that has appeared in the evening paper Of
this city with dolorous sound and sad reg
ularity for q number of years still con-
tinues, with more unhapplness back of it
than ever. OF course the Alert charges
for what it does for the city and county,
all that belongs to 1t, and gets paid
for it, all that belongs to it. The evening
outfit can charge 1t, but don't get paid
for it. which makes all the difference in
the world about pay day time.
The pc ople here have long since grown
weary of seeing this kind of stuff in that
paper, and had really hoped it would lie,
up, but 1t seems, have trusted IN vain, as
thelnew proprietor is as childish about it
as Burke, while twice as we'll able to
stand the contemplated loss. But then
this thing of experimenting in running a
newspaper IS very costly, and has wrecked
many short-sighted,, ,, aspiring men before
this. Newspapers are luxury and come
high, but solle men must have them for
q little whlle-to le.rn. The Doodle car
that remains slde-tracked very long be-
sides democratic newspaper office in
Dakota, is very foolish Doodle car.

SEVERAL newspapers in this legislative
district have been caught unawares
by statement of the jamestown
Capital, a would be democratic boss hand
(on.) organ, that estate" had been
made in this city and all or nearly all of
the Offices of the district, as we'll as county,
had been selected IN advance for the can
dldates so named in the Capital. This
statement had its origin simply in the
Imagination of the Capital editor, with
the further motive of engendering quar-
rel among the republicans of the county
and district, and to excite suspicion and
distrust in the party, if possible, to the ad-
vantsg ge of some stray democratic candi-
date. No assemblage of any kind was
ever held for any such purpose, an: no
such list of candidates has been manufac-
tured or considered by parties who are, or
have been, interested in territorial poll
tics. Stutsman county is single county
In the district, with an accredited appor
tlonment of seven delegates, and never
claimed any legislative representation
outside of a member of the council. Be-
sides 1t is we'll known that several Of the
candidates so alleged, have never consid-
cred or had any intentions of running TO,
any office, much less the offices set down
opposite their names The whole thing
is fraud, aud 1t Is hoped the republican
newspapers of the district will not ge

e. E. GREGORY, of Carrlngton, one of
the estate" candidates, developed from
the imagination of the Capitals owner,
writes that paper to say that the whole
thing is a fraud. He is no such candi
date, never was one, and he don't believe
that the other gentlemen named knew
anything about it themselves. The news
papers throughout the district know by
this time, if they were deceived tempo
rarily, that there is nothing in It, Stuts-
man county Is no hog. No more than a
member Of the council was ever claimed,
and that conceded. Everybody knows
that if she were sel6shly inclined, the in
clination would avail nothing, for it Is
votes that count and the county has only
seven. "We are seven"-that's all-but
that's enough to convince.

Buchanan Ball Players.

An interesting game of base ball was
played July 10th on the agricultural fair
grounds at Buchanan. The contesting
clubs were the Rios-composed of nine
stalwart yeomen from the ranch of E. T..
Kearney-a and the Belvlderes, from the
farm of L. o. Gilman. The game was
we'll played throughout, the heavy bat
ting of the Rios being overcome by the
superior playing of the Belvlderes. A
goodly number of citizens including not a
few ladies witnessed the game. The
score stood-Belvideres, 40: Rios, l6.
Major Loop was the accomplished um-
pire. The Belvideres we're Messrs. Loop

Over Niagara in q Cask.

A Buffalo dispatch, referring to the
fact that e. D. Graham made the passage
OF Niagara Falls in closed cask, says:
The cask kept pretty well in the center Of
the river until it reached the whirlpool,
when it struck a strong side current and
was carried swiftly through, reaching the
waters beyond in safety. Frem here the
journey was comparatively quiet. The
cask was picked up at Lewiston, about
five miles below, and Graham crawlcd
out of it with only slight brulse on
his aim. He remarked that when he
struck the eddies it was one continual
round of jerks, ''but am not hurt bit.
Graham is native of Philadelphia, and
80 years old.

The Oswald Case.

A Plaindealer reporter was informed
yesterday through reliable source, that
no application will be made by the coun-
sci of Billy Oswald for new trial at the
term Of court to be held IN this city on
Monday and Tuesday Dy Judge McCon-
nell. The informant stated the reason
as follows: 1t appears that Billy previous
and at the time of the homicide, had been
consorting with woman of disreputable
character, and his father, during his last
visit here to his son demanded that he
should abandon his mistress. This Billy
stoutly refused to do and the old gentle
man exasperated by the stubborn conduct
of his obdurate son, told him that he
would at once relluquish all further ef-
forts to save him from the r ?nitentlary.
A stormy scene ensued and .he old man
left vowing that he would rather see his
son die in the penitentlary than lead the
shameless lite he had.-- Grand Forks

The Capital says that If Governor Pierce
''remalns in Office to make appointments
at the next session of the legislature q
great many republicans who have fed
their pockets from the funds of our terri
torial institutions as members OF the
boards of trustees will have this source OF
pin money shut Off" Will the Capital
kindly declare itself, and say what terri
torial institution it means? There are q
number in the territory and one of the
largest is at jamestown. This Is Sc we're
charge and one in which people are apt
to be mlsled unless the institution Is
named. This means, too, that the mem.
bers of the next board of trustees will be
democrats who will have pockets. Will

board from this city, for instance, take
kindly to this inference.
