The true reason whyiP President CIeye:
land refuses to give reasons for removals
from Office, appears to be that he Is Pre-.
tecting politicians who In many instan.
ces have trumped up false charges
against perfectly honest and competent
officials. To be true to his civil service
principles, he must give reasons, and
good ones, for every removal. It looks
as though any reason had been accepted
whenever a ward striker wanted posit.
ion and that the President has placed
himself in bad situation. Either he
must give up all pretension of civil ser.
vice reform or expose the lies of his
political friends. 55

Mandan Water Works. !.

rs The Mandan Pioneer makes charact-
ieristic answer to the charge made in our
last issue against tile Mandan water
works system. The article Occupies a
column III the Phone eer; most completely,
begs the question and while showing to
every one that our position, ais published
in the Bismarck Tribune was right, az
clearly shows that the Pioneer lacks tile.
backbone to! come out boldly and
acknowledge it. q; 81 ..%
The controversy, If carried on accord
ing to the plan of the Pioneer, would b.
as endless as it would be uninterestina
to our readers. We merely ask the Pho
neer to deny the following statemente
and that theshistory Of THE Mandan wat
er, works shows great negligence, if no.
actual fraud, for the following reasons:
l. There never was contract let, no1
did the council vote on the question.
The proposal of formeri partner was
accepted by the Mayor. y
2. Other proposals were not consider
ed. Notably the one of q perfectly
responsible company who offered to erect
necessary buildings and constantly sup.
ply Mandan with water for domestic and
fire purposes. Their bid was only few
thousand, two or three, we think NOR,
than the accepted proposal, which onl,
offered water for fire purposes.
3. Full price was paid the contractor
although he put in cheaper and inferior
water pipes to those mentioned in his
proposal.
4. The supply of water came only
from the Northern Pacific tanks and only
a verbal agreement was had with u.
officer of the company that they woua 4
furnish the town with water in casea @
fire. 3.s {. S
5. There has been at no time guar
antee of sufficient water even for fire
purposes. y. s. ~
The above and twenty other minor
charges were the points we nrged two
years,ago against the sMandan water
works. There is no use asking the Pic.
laeer to deny them for they are absolute
facts, known to all. That the Pioneer
begs the question in its answer to our
article is shown by the fact that its
strongest point is made on the supposit-
ion that the present water works in
Mandan are thought to have kept the fit2
from spreading and thus saved loss Of
100000 or more. We are almost asham-
ed to answer such statement, which we
will do. however, by question: "WoulG
not the better system we have advocated
saved as much as this poorer system"
In conclusion we will add that sys-
tenn of water works which would have
furnished water in abundance for domes-
tic and fire purposes, would have paid
for itself already in actual cash in a
reduction of insurance rates and by the
collections for water privileges.
We beg pardon of our readers for hay
ing taken up space for the discussion of
question that in no wise interests them
or us and as we know the Pioneer cannot
answer our statements, leave the matter
for the Mandanites to fight out among
themselves.

The day Of good prices for thin or
half-ripe cattle is over. At least the Chi
cago market points to such a conclusion.
Cattle in good condition and weighing
over 1900 pounds hold their price we'll,
but prices on poor animals are totally
demoralized. According to the Inter
Ocean, there have been 5000 steers sold
at "a and below, to every one sold over
$3.50.

nressrs. Bacon and Gordon.

EdttOr Morning Ne,Cs: l see in the
papers that Messrs. Bacon and Gordon
nave made arrangements to discuss the
"issues involved In tue pending contest
for the GubernRtorial nomination" That
is to say, according tn my idea OF things,
that Messrs. B. and @. have assumed to
themselves to be the only candidates that
will be before the convention. Pretty
bold stroke on their part to make issues
for the peoples declaration that their
claims are to be presented to the conYen-
tion and no one's else. tcai
AS voter, and one who assumes to
think and speak for himself, ] am for
neither, under the circumstances, and
am ready to vote for some good, able man,
who has far more modesty and less self
concet than TO think that the State is
reduced TO "HObson's choice,' as be-
tween Messrs. Bacon and Gordon. w that
ever the merits OF these gentlemen may
be, they have been fully recognized in the
past. Fidelity in office is an obligation
and not a virtue; TO give ones time
ana talents TO a position sought for
eagerly carries with it duty. an obliga-
ton and trust. The people recognize
no claims, and to assert such for any
selt-declared candidate is to insult the
common intelligence OF the people.

We candidly believe that were we 70 ask
more for our Clothing than other houses

readily assent to it, so popular and satisfac
tory are our Suits in ct, style and general ap-

Clothing. People nowadays exDect to find
IN a ready made clothing house the very same
STYLE and III that they would look for from a

meet this requirement, as our suits are made

EARLY SUMMERS DROUGHT.
Effect of the Dry weather on vege-

Effect Of the Dry Weather on Nege-
table CroDs-The Need OF Rain.
Heads OF families are daily lamenting
the high prices of spring vegetables. The
high price is due to the unusual scarcity
the dealers say, and the scarcity Is due to
the drought.
1.-The strawberry crop is short one-hall
in this section" said Mr. PutZel, of
PutZel & Harmon, yesterday. "Charles-
ton is suffering too from dry weather." he
added.
IL has not rained here this
month, with the exception of few drops
on the 7th. The last good, soaking ram
was about the last Of April, and since
then there has not been enough to take
the curl out of an ostrich feather. Fields
and gardens are as dry and almost as
dusty as the crossings on Broughton
street. Everything in the way OF truck is
parching up, the market gardeners say,
and unless there comes liberal rain the
crops will be dismal failures. Potatoes
are not growing, and although they are
still small the growers are digging and
shipping them. The prices Of potatoes
are not to be grum bled at, though. Beans,
too, are suffering, and the outlook for the
crop is not cheering.
About the only thing that is safe and
that promises fairly now Is the peach
crop. IL is safe only 80 far, but If 1t has
no set back better crop may be eX-
pected than was obtained last year.
The spring vegetables cannot make
anything like full crop now, and every
day that the dry weather continues is
cutting the yield of the early summer
vegetables and fruit.

DRY AND DUSTY.
The Modest Mercury Only Reaches
70in the Shade.


SO far as temperature was concerned,
yesterday was pleasant enough. The
mercury was not so aspiring by 10 de-
grees as it was few days ago. Seventy
six in the shade is endurable. Key West
had it that hot at midnight, while in Sa-
vannah the mercury stood at only 30.
Early yesterday morning the mercury
got down as low as Gilt was cloudy pretty
much all day. The western SKY looked
black and threatening off and on from
daybreak until dark. Showers and storms
were predicted by pretty nearly every one
who had an opinion on the weather.
But as all signs fail when there has not
been any rain for two or three weeks the
clouds did not bring showers. Last night
it was still cloudy but the weather men
would not guarantee a pint of water.
They intImated that about the only hope
Chatham county can legitimately
entertain Is in thundergust. No signals
were flying last night and there were no
immediate prospects that the drought
would be broken to-day.

MACON SHUT OUT.
A Game that Disguised the Specta-
tors and Made Them Tired

A Game that Disguised the Specta-
tors and Made Them Tired
NASHVILLE, May 17.-Nine hundred
persons attended the third game of the
Macon-Nashville series this afternoon.
Umpire Burns did not arrive, and John
r. Mayberry, last years manager of
Nashville, was substituted. The game was
very tame, and many of the spectators
left in disgust before it was over. Miller
and Harter did good work for Macon but
were not supported. Baker and Sehell-
basse were the local battery Until the
fifth inning neither side scored. Then
Macon went to pieces and one hit aided
by seven errors netted Nashville six runs.
The feature OF the game was Sowders'
three-base hit in the sixth inning with
three men on bases. Bittman
dislOcated his ankle in the seventh
but did not stop for it, and he made fine
running catch in the last inning. Nash
vile scored six in fifth, three each in sixth
and seventh and two in the eighth, maxi
ing IA to Macon's nothing. To-morrow's
battery will be Smith and Decker for Ma
con, Brynan and Earle for Nashville.
