EVERY one of the two-term presi-
dents who was elected by political par
ty, established party government, and
sought to strengthen the organization to
which he was attached. Jefferson, Mad
ison, Monroe and Jackson were idols Of
the democracy, and the democratic party
was unanimous in renomlnating them
and successful in re-elccting them. So 1t
was also with General Grant and the re-
publican party as to his second term and
the country would not haYe been mate
rally damaged had he served third
term. frankie would do well to impress
these facts and natural conclusions upon
Growers obtuse mind.

II Is curious how political information
gets twisted as it goes. The farmers held
convention in Grand Forks county the
other day and the telegraph announced
that the county ticket which had been
put in the field was altogether anti
Walsh, except one candidate, who was
Georges man. Capt. Griggs, who lives
there and keeps an eye on such things,
now states that it was just the other way.
The farmers ticket was composed entirely
of Walsh men excepting one candidate
who was not. That's different.

Yesterdays Argus published card
over the signature of r. G. Clowry, vice
president and general superintendent of
the Western Union, denying the report
which the Associated Press promulgated
last week, to the effect that Division Su-
perintendcnt McMichael had resigned,
which the business men of the Northwest,
who transact much business over the
wires, will be pleased to learn, for Mr..
McMichael has given uniformly as good
service as he possibly could under the
circumstances and knows the require
ments of the commercial public.

THE Chicago Newspaper Union con-
tains an advertisement of country paper
for sale and the address, Estelline, Dako-
Ia, would lead one to believe that the
paper referred to must be The Bell. The
Alert has always thought that 1t was a
shame that 80 talented q writer as the
editor of the Bell should bury himself IN a
small South Dakota town, and If this ad.
means that he has decided to be gutter
on that section of country and is coming
to North Dakota where fame and fortune
and an appreciative audience awaits him,
well-The Alert extends him q cordial
welcome and will gladly lend him print
paper and leads, should he need them.

The Carrlngton News emits q longer
roar than ever this week over the loca.
tion of the district convention at James
town. Yet it frankly explains that the
majority of the central committee were
in favor Of jamestown which seems to
have had the honor thrust upon her, from
the report of the News. The cause of all
this unharpiness must evidently lie else
where, and not with the beautiful little

DELEGATE CLIFFORD starts right with
his boom for denomination, in enlisting
the lady freeholders on his side. A dis
patch says of an incident.
Delegate Clifford has had a lively re-
ulnder this week of the pluck and vim
of Dakota girls. He sat IN his room the
other morning early, hard at work, as he
always is, writing letters when a card
came up with the name of "Msy Rich.
ardson, Yankton," on it. The judge
went down to the parlor to meet his con-
stituent. He found her q plump, blue
eyed lady, we'll dressed and modest in her
manner. She plunged directly into her
story, and told him she was settler on q
claim out few miles from Y Yankton, and
that Land Commissioner Sparks had de-
cided on the advice of one of his agents
that she was not entitled to her land, be-
cause it was alleged she had not lived on
it in compliance with the law. She
maintained that she was being persecut-
ed by an overzealous land agent. Judge
Clifford put on his hat at once, and said
they had better 60 and see Mr.. Lamar.
They found the secretary ready to talk
with such q pretty settler, and he gal
antly told her that he would see to it
that nobody, commissioner or otherwise
should interfere with her claim. They
afterwards visited the president and the
presidents wife, and both gave her as
surances that her land would be all
right.
The Dakota girl has gone home, but
she has made thorough "job' of her
case, for Secretary Lamar, has allowed
an appeal for her benefit. Judge Clifford
says Dakota can't be kept out Of the
union much longer with such girls as
Miss Richardson settling on its soil.

TIN ore to the amount of IS, 900 pounds
arrived in New Y ork the other day from
the Black Hills, and if representations
are to be relied on, it is the fore-runner
of an important development of our min
eral resources. All the other leading
metals in use in the civilized world we are
known to have an lnexhaustible supply
of, but if tin is to be added to the num-
ber it will materially increase our econo-
mic independence. 1t is claimed that
this tin ore is richer than that of Corn
wall, Australia or Sumatra, whence the
supply has hitherto been mainly derived.
1t ranges from 8 to Is per cent. 1t is
stated that there is practically no limit to
the deposits. We imported nearly &c.
OOO, 600 worth of block or pig tin last
year, and over $4,000, 900 worth of tin
plates or taggers tin. If the home pro-
duct is to supplant this, revolution in
the tin trade will ensue, much to the IN
convenience of the Cornwall interests.

HISTORY records that on memorable
occasion the Romans agreed to decide an
impending battle by q fight between
three brothers in their army on the one
side and three brothers of the opposing
army on the other. Five of the combat
ants were killed, and the victory was &C.
corded TO the army to which the survivor
belonged, without any further bloodshed.
We know Of cheaper way of settling
the threatened difficulty with our sister
Republic, Mexico. Let Cutting be turned
loose and let him and Medina fight out
their own quarrel. No matter which
may be killed, til 9 loss, as the Lord High
Executloner would remark, would be
distinct gain to society. If both should
be killed, the event would justify inter.
