The expose of alleged republican states
by the Capital is not entirely due to the
fact that the editor has gone daft. The
incongruous statements made in that
while they exhibit an intense
desire to do somebody up, present an In.
consistency that is simply ludlcrous, and
vet there is method IN the madness. There
is a prevailing feeling or fear that the
Capital will 80 excite the northern part
of this legislative district that instead of
securing member of the territorial coun-
Gil as well as q member of the house,
which 1t pretends is the policy of James.
town, we will get neither. Stutsman
county will only have seven votes out OF
thirty four IN the legislative convention
ahd no one is honest in claiming that the
county will be able to dictate terms to q
district composed of nine counties. Blu,

nored by the republican convention and
Mr. Goodrich should be nominated by the

THE G. A. r. boys who served in the
Army of the Potomac no doubt will con-
trast their picnic today at Splritwood
lake with the one they had twenty-four
years ago at Harrison's Landing on the
James river in Virginia, or in 1863 when
following Lee after his defeat at Gettys-
burg, or in 1864 when watching the same
generals army in front OF Petersburg.
The July days Of those years we're as hot.
If not hotter, than those of 1886 but the
peaceful surroundings of the present
greatly vary the pleasures Of these veter-
ans, and the sharp contrasts Of the two
encampments will be discussed no doubt
with frequent emphasis, at the camp fire
today and tomorrow. Everybody should
take part in, and assist in the enjoyments
of the veterans, for they earned them
nobly on many battle fields.

The Bismarck Tribune has sized up
the situation here just as it is. The only
d,sscnsion appearing anywhere is among
the hungry democrats who are at present
digestlng husks. The Tribune says:
The jamestown Capital, democratic,
seems to assume to speak for both par
ties-gives the slate away, the candidates
and everybody. 1t intlmates that the re-
publicans of Stutsman county are fgur-
ing to freeze out the rest of the district
of which it is the senior county-politlc-
ally; are not going to let the northern
ount,es-McHenry, Benson, Nelson and
Eddy-have member Of the next legis-
latule-or something of that sort. It's
probably cunning scheme on the part
of the Capital to create dissension IN the
republican ranks.

THE absence of any sufficient water sup
ply in the city was very apparent again
at Monday mornings fire. A good stream
from hy,irant at the start would 10
doubt have checked the flames and saved
the other buildings. As it is, the city Is
absolutely helpless as far as any sufficient
water supply is concerned, and in ease of
serious fire the damage is liable to be al.
most lrreparable. The contemplated wa
ter works are more needed daily, and
the citizens and taxpayers whose costly
property is exposed to constant danger
begin to recognize this fact more strong
ly than ever. The water protection is

of economy should interfere with the

upon the ground, and therefore are PER-
fectly competent to make an intelligent
estimate, which is that there are gophers
enough upon every quarter section in this

off few hawks and badgers we will soon
