A COUNTY WITHOUT CITIES

Had Much Trouble With Blind
Pigs. II;
Special to the Globe
FERGUS FALLS, Oct 26.-Among the
new issues in the fight is the local,
option question, now up for final settle-ll
ment. Last year prohibition swept this,
county by over 4o0 majority, but it is a.
palpable fact that the law 50 unani5,
mously adopted has not been enforced.
and consequently many are now loudly,
demanding a return to high license.
Even a few prominent ProhibitionistSi
are plain in expressing their opinions
on the subject i'll favor of reviy-f
ing the former system in prefer
ence to continuing the nuisance of,
''blind pigs"-which aren't blind. The
remark is heard daily, $50 long as we
must have saloons, and do have them,
running in open defiance of law, why
not realize something from their exist
ence?" The county is heavily taxed to
supply the deficiency caused by the
withdrawal of the $1,000 in license rev.
enue from the treasury, and for that
reason, if for no other, many
CONVERTS ARE BEING MADE
to this theory. and it is thus rendered
more than possible that the verdict of
last fall will be reversed on the coming
9th of November. On the other hand,

however, the w. G. T. q. is strong in
this county, and that that organization
will make a noble fight in opposition
to any move backwards is apparent
from the enthusiasm manifested at
their big meeting in this place last Sat-
urday. Indeed the temperance element,
or rather the radical ones of the temper
ance element, will do more than hard
work at the polls. Several Prohibition
leaders say if they are defeated an eff
fort will next be made to have the cleo
ton declared illegal by the courts, on
the grounds that not enough names were
on the petitions asking that the Ques-
ton be resubmitted. This, of course,
increases the bitterness that naturally
creepS into the discussion of such mat
tiers, and there will continue to be a
growing interest i'll the outcome of the

CooPERsTOwN, Oct. 26-J. W. Har-

here Saturday evening. Our Repub-
lican farmer made himself obnoxious by
stigmatizing in loud voice some of the

small, owing to the speaker being de-

all present voted him a second Col.

upon by the audience, which was in no
mood to be builyragg ed by tool of
Mathews. The vote for delegate here
will be close, but it is generally thought
that Harden will carry the county.

DAKOTA NIPS.

There was one omission from the list

week that is worth no ting. That was
house bill 145, providing for the pay

isn't it pretty good thing for the tax

The alliance at Frederick thought it
worth While to make formal denial by
resolution of the little campaign jibe
that Candidate HARDEN refused TO
speak before that body without being
paid in advance. The denial comprises
the statement that Mr.. Ii. neither asked
nor received anything for his services,
the alliance offering to pay his travel
ing expenses, which was ali right. The
story was too absurd to warrant serious
denial If it had not found a place in
the Dakota Ruraiist, il would probably
have received no attention.

There was considerable diSappoint-
ment felt here when the absolute fail
ure to treat with the Sioux at Washing
ton came. 1t was not much of sur
prise TO those who are in any way ac-
quainted with Indian nature, yet it
caused the use of some very forc:ble
language when reference was made the
tored beggars. At the same time, the gen
eral impression now is that the needed
relief will be provided by congress. and
that the reservation will he opened to
settlement without consulting the In
dianS, they having shown cOncluSlvely
that they are incapable of driving any
thing but an Indian bargain, and have
no sense whatever of responsibility and
fairness. In the next bill to be passed
by congress, referring to this matter, it
is hoped the needs of the white people
will be consulted in preference to those

IT Is creditable to parties in New
York and elsewhere in the States, that
they are inclined to show their benevo-
lence by responding to calls for aid i'll
Ramsey county, Dakota, but it is gen
orally regretted in the territory that the
impression has gone out that there is
occasion for appeals abroad for aid.
In all new countries there are at times
local circumstances that cause hardship
and pinehing to individuals. There are
in Ramsey county some sixty families
of Russian Jews who came there the
past year empty-handed. and grew little
of anything but wheat this year. A
rare natural freak destroyed that, and
they need some aid. Their sect and the
people of the territory are amply able
to relieve them. There was no occasion
to parade the matter in the press of the
country. The eagernesS of sensational
correspondents is at fault. and the ter
ritOry at large suffers, as the papers
East do not discriminate. The fact is,
there will be more hungry and suffering
people i'll some of the large cities this
winter than in any part of Dakota.

Prof. Brown IS of the opinion that the
dairy world has yet to be taught that
the extensive use of grain is not correct
economically: that a large quantity of a
mixture of roots with hay fodder is both
economical and safe for mich cows.
and that possibly there is better health
with roots, though slightly inferior
quality of milk.

Since the failure of the visitation of
the Sioux chiefs to Washington to Sc
cure their support of the reservation
measure. it is apparent that it is little
use to daily with these thick-headed
and greedy redskins. They are incapa-
BILE Of understanding their own inter-
eStS, and too indOlcnt to take voluntary
steps in the path of progress and civili-
cation. They are the wards of the ma
ton, minors and children in all that
constitutes useful and intelligent social
and economic fabrics. They are
vastly less capable of managing
for themselves than were the slaves
of the South when emancipated.
The government did not consult
them as 10 their disposition, HOr ask
their assent TO measures deemed adNis-
able to adopt relating to their interests.
The occasion for consulting these MT
ural Migrants rests upon basis chiefly
fanciful and sentimental. They have
rights. as have all human beings, but
in political society or the associated re-
lations of life there is always some
abatement Of the individual rights for
the good of the state or society. The
individual is not given any option i'll
the matter. 1t may be conceded that
the Indians have some sort of claim TO
the lands. No one proposes to deprive
them of even lavish means of subsist-
ence, both in land and equipment, but
as they are incapable of Judging for
themselves, the government. their
guardian, should act for them. The So
luton of the Indian question has
been regarded as one of the puZ-
zling problems of craftsmanship
and philanthropy. The early and sd
gacious statesmen of the republic held
that slavery should be put in course
of gradual and ultimate extinction.
The refusal of the nation to follow their
cOunselS resulted in the attainment of
the end by terrible civil cOnvulSiOn.
The Indian problem has no such bilious
aspect. On the side o. the red man tile
problem is the elimination of barbaTiSm
and developments of civilization; ami on
the side OF the nation, to meet the
growing needs of the people. When

not what he deems right, but in accord
with the aggregate sense reflected in
the government. Why should not
similar policy be pursued with
these Sioux? To satisfy their pres
ent demands would put an amount
of money in their hands that
would encourage them in idleness and
prove a serious injury to them. The
lands proposed to be taken are utterly
useless to the Indians and are needed
by swelling white population and the
development of the country. II is bet
ter for the Indian to part with them and
enjoy the ample means the government
proposes to give. 1t will provide every
man a farm and means to improve it.
No doubt a new bill will be urged at the
winter session of congress, in which
taWny kickerS will effect little.

WHY SUPPNhT HlM2

1t is stated that at the meeting Of the
officers of the Farmers alliance at
Aberdeen last week, it was determined
to give their influence as individuals to
the support of Mr.. HARDEN. In their
official capacity probably no action
could be taken that would impose con-
Straint upon the membership of Subor-
dinate alliances in their voting, but it
would be eminently proper for them, as
men selected by their associates for the
highest stations in the organization on
account of the confidence repOSed in
them, to give their cOmbired indOrse-
ment to the one of their number select
ed as the candidate for congress. Mr..
HARDEN was nominated not so much
because he was a Democrat as that he
was identified with, and the favorite OF
the alliance for that station. There was
an understanding, more or less distinct.
that he would be sustained by the al
lance. 1t is not claimed that there was
any compact or pledge, but there were
assurances that he would be recognized
and sustained in virtue of his identity
with the great agricultural society.
This was natural and proper, as there
was substantial accord in the policies
and measures andvanced. In its last gen
eral convention, the alliance took
ground on the only prominent national
issue that is held by the Democratic
party, ana which has since been
Squarely antagOniZed by Mr.. MATTHEWS
party in their national convention. As
regards territorial measures, Mr.. HAIR
DEN was one of those who aided in
formulating the expression of the ALI
ance, and of course is in full sympathy
with the objects sought. The platform
adopted by the Democrats is in line with
the alliance purposes. If it is true
that the Republican platform is equally
acceptable npon the local questions, the
facts remain that the candidate has an
antagoniStic record, and his interests
are to a great extent conflicting. Ii
follows, then, that consistency with their
own positions should lead to the sup
port of Mr.. HARDEN. That is the
course dictated by the logic of facts
and the situation. 1t is sagacious policy
also. What encouragement would
there be for those outside their lines to
cooperate with them if they are to be
given the cold shoulder and no distinc-
ton made between those who are with
them in aims and sympathy and those
who have aided to defeat them in the
past. and now only profess friendship
for their votes?

give emphasis TO partisan points. Two
additional and much-needed Judges
have been granted, and the reservation

given for this, although aboriginal Oh

feated its object. Dakota has share in
the act provided for territories prohibit

Justice to Mr.. CLIFFORD, however. it
should be said that he has had a number
of other desirable measures introduced,

he possesses to effect their passage.
Not much can be expected until Dakota
has men there who can vote.
