win this number the PIONEER enters upon
its seventh year, aud We take this occasion of
returning our sincere thanks for the generous
support Which has been accorded the paper bv
all classes. While our expectations in manv
th'ngs have not been fully realized, there ia
much to DO thankful for. Many changes have
Deen witnessed In the past six years. The era
OF "Doom" aud high prices has faded away,
ana Dakota has settled down to solid and
SUBSTANTIAL basis. and is demonstrating day by
DAY the truth of the assertion that her farmers
can furnish to the world better wheat at a les.
price, than can be produced elsewhere The
rapid decline In the price OF our principal
product In the worlds markets naturally
enough caused embarrassment and hardshin
TO many who entered into heavy obligations
predicated on the price which wheat then
brought, and which they expected to contlnue
indefinitely. Many were financially wrecked
and many Others have only been able to main
tam themselves by practicllg the strictest
economy. fortunately, tho severe lesson has
not been without Its benefits, aud to-day We
nsileWe our farmers are In better condition. all
things considered, than at any time heretofore.
There ia more land broken, there are better
nulldlngs more stock and better understand
Ing OF the methods necessary for successful
farming In Dakota. This ls all a permanent
gain, and has been achieved under adversa
circumstances. Have we not good cause, there.
fore to feel that the worst las been passed
and that the future is bright with promise
Under no circumstances does it seem possible
that the price of wheat can 60 lower than it
has during the past four years. As the country
mas deRonatpated that 1t can not only raise 1t
at these prices but can even make money, 1t
follows that any advance will represent 30
much clear profit "He that endureth tn the
end, the same shall be saved" Those who
stick to Dakota now are the ones who will
realize their full reward. Should wheat ad-
vance to seventy-fve or eighty cents per hushel
1t would give Dakota such ap Impetus as even
the most sangpine dare hardly Imagine.

year. He says that the M. & D. is an entirely
independent company, and has from the first
been anxious to build this year, but in conse-
Quence of the depression which has existed In
railway securities for several months 1t has
been found difficult for an independent COM

DEMOCRACY,

You may talk as you will. You may,
for instance, say that the Democratic
party does not advance. But it does. Ever
since the close of the rebellion it has
been advancing to points of political
strategy which the Republicans had
vacated for the purpose of occupying
hitherto undiscovered fields. At Leaven-
worth, last week, the Kansas Democracy,
in state convention, voted down a
proposition calling for the resubmission
of the Prohibitory amendment. Their
platform of two years ago made this
demand. This year it does not. This,
we have the right to say, is Democratic
advancement.
In nominating Judge John Martin as
their candidate for governor, the Demo-
Gratis have acted wisely. 1t is always
wise to nominate for official position men
of ability and integrity; yet it is ques-
tionable whether Martin, the soul of
advancement, will receive as large vote
as would have been accorded to Geo. W.
Click. There is, we mean to say, large
voting element whose faces, as far as
progression is concerned, are always
turned to the rear, who rally to the
standard of such fossils as Click. A
certain floating vote, as between Martin
and the Republican candidate will proba-
bly, support the latter, on the hypothesis
that there is not much difference between
the two men.
The writer knows something concern
ing the personnel of the Democratic state
ticket. DR.. Wilhoite, of Paola, the
nominee for state auditor, we have known
for twenty-one years. He is a splendid
man. The worst that can be said of him
is that he is a Democrat. He is a
member of the legislature. It is our
recollection that he voted in favor of
giving women the right of municipal
suffrage.
