the testimony adduced at the prelim-
mary trial, ii will be hard for him to
prove his innocence. While it is also
true it may be hard to prove that he
is the actual person who destroyed the
poll-book and made IL new one.
We are Informed that not only were
both the poll-books destroyed, but
that on the ballot-box being opened,
only ten or Il dozen ballots were left.
In the abstract of returns made by
the canvasing board, the made.up poll.

must necessarily be left out as there
are 10 legal returns in existence
This. happily, makes no change iii the

About the only advantage in the big

by the breakages, accidents, bad wea.

THE ct p M an

In another place we copy u letter to
the Grand Forks Plainlealer which,
complains of the usage of this road ON
the Nccho line. All summer they
have had only IL mixed train service
with slow time and delayed mails.
AT the present time the mixed train
runs from Crookston to st. Vincent
and there is u universal howl all along
the line at the abominable service
rendered. Emerson only gets three
mails week from Winnipeg, and a
letter from there to st. Vincent goes
via Winnipeg, Grafton, Grand Forks
and Crookston.
AT the same time we hear of the N.
p. buying u right of way from Fertile
to st. Vincent and thus parallelizing
the Manitoba's track in every dircc.
tion. There is no word of complaint
for the n. T.. cars are furnished and
everything done to please the shipper
or consignee.
1t would seem TO us that in view of
these facts the course of the Manitoba
road was suicidal. OF two parallel

THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM

There is considerable discussion 60.

sent time in reference to the intro.
lucti0n Of the Australian system of
voting. So far as VIC have seen it eX.
planned, it might better he called the
Canadian system for it is identical
with that. In brief, the main fea-
lures are these: Nominations are
made by any thirty or more electors; u
money forfeit is put up topay election
expenses If the candidate does not get
Il certain per centage of the votes for
his opponent, The nominations are
made week before election. II only
one nomination is made there is no
election but the nomination itself
elects. On election day only the
names of those nominated appear on
the ballots. which are provided Ivy the
government. All the names of those
nominated are on the ballot. At the
polls private room is provided, q
ballot is handed to the voter by 4

1t would be well for voters to study
up this plan and compare it with our
present forms 10 there will probably
he an effort made to introduce it into
the new states of Dakota. A very
large proportion of our readers being
Canadian by birth are now familiar
with both plans and could. no doubt,
give good reasons for or against the
new system.
10 Americans, who have never used
it, the new method seems little cum.
bersome, and the method of nomina.
ton, the money forfeit, and the fact
that only those can be voted for who
have been nominated, are SO contrary
to our usual customs and usagcs that a
feeling of revulsion is engendered by
the mere recital; yet our neishbors
over the line think their way is the
best and it is worth while for us to see
abont it. We would be glad to heal

Auditor Faulkper's Cage.

Just before election story was spread
abroad in Walsh county that Auditor
Faulkner's accounts were not straight,
and Deputy Examiner Hayden has made
thorough examination and finds every
thing all right except the following,
winch is interesting to the people of
this county as the case is similar to that
of Auditor Birdie. 1t will be noticed
that Mr.. Hayden decides that it is right
for the commissioners to allow pay for
extra services. but saya that such SER
vices should not be paid for as salary but
as extra work. Is was on account Of
extra work that our commissioners al.
lowed the excess of salary but they
erred in the manner Of paying it:
Il know from personal examination Of
the books and accounts in the auditors
Office ofyour county, that great amount
of work has been done, that is not re.
CURED by law, work that is, and will be
in the future, of great value, and that it
must DO done in every county, where il
is not kept up. The duties required to
be performed by county auditors fall far
short of the requirements for safe con-
duct of the business of most of tile
larger counties, and the amount of ex.
cess Of salary paid in your case Is small
compared with the amount of work done,
Or with its value to the county, but I
think the commissioning laYe erred in
allowing this az salary, and that all such
amounts should have been paid for extra
work, specifying in each case for what it
was paid. am satisfied that the work
has been done at the lowest cost to tile
county. and the only criticism that can

WHATS THE RusHp

Everybody, all the papers, and every
last politician, are apparently trying
to rustic in the two new states of
North and South Dakota. To see and
hear this heltcr.skelter crowd, one
might think that the launching of
these two new ships into the blue sea
of the nations flag was u simple mat.
ter; that to be u state was to include
all the prosperity and blessings which
could come to the lot of organized
humanity.
We are, we think. fully cognizant of
the advantages to he gained by state.
hood, and we believe most heartily in
the doctrine of two states. But while
politicians have got the little matters
of constitution, admission, state CAPT.
tails and even state and congressional
offices figured out to their own salts
fed imaginations. yet to the common
people this making is new
thing and to many sort of surprise.
10 many this matter of admission
has been already so long drawn out
that the sudden shift takes them I'm.
awares. and yet they have Il right to
be consulted III so important Il matter
as laying the foundations of this great
commonwealth.
The matter of constitutions making
is something to he thought of and dis.
cusscd, and is not tho work of IL few
weeks by people who have just be.
gun to seriously think of what they
want. In the United States, in every
individual state, the constitution is
the basis of all law, and once adopted
it requires IL twO-tllirds vote to change
or amend any part of it. If, then, il
is deemed wisdom to throw such a
safeguard around the change Of any
single article of u constitution, how
muc! care should he taken in making
il whole constitution which is the
basis of all the future laws and gov
eminent.
There is always danger in the rusl
of Il crowd. lickpockets find there
their best field, and often start Il rusl
by Il false alarm for their own pur
poses. Perhaps a rush might suit til,
politicians, hut it might he that tim,
fora little sober thought should b'
given for the selection of constitution
makers and to the constitution itself
While it is true that we have the con
stitutions of the other states as model
yet there are questions of great i'm
portance, peculiar to ourselves, to b
decided OIL, and Il false step at the he
ginning may he hard to straiyliten il
the future.
Among the most important matter
to he considered are, the revenue sys
TEN, including the many mooted ques
tions of taxation; the numerous power
and election Of state, legislative an
county officers; the common schoc
system; the sale and investment U
moneys arising from the sale of schoc
lands; the liquor traffic, the franchis.
the state capitals. These are but
few of the momentous questions tina
will now confront us; and again W
say, don't hurry too fast. BE sun
we're right and then 60 ahead!

Obliged 10 gil up in the early fall and
stay closed most of the season, but this
season with half crop, why is there not
cars enough for all? Those favored
elevators get cars. but an independent
buyer or farmer can't get a car. Why?
Is the railroad company in company
with those elevators? Do they receive q
share of the profits, or why do they take
this coune? Farmers are drawing wheat
through here past our six elevators,
through Auburn with five elevators, four.
teen miles to Grafton where the North.

the price Of wheat 2 cents, but lie is posi-
lively refused another car. but this great
railroad elevator monopoly are not going
to be allowed their 81 cents bushel

buyers and keep farmers from shipping
their own wheat.
This morning sixteen teams started
hauling from st. Thomas to Pittsburg, a
siding on the. Northern Pacific, twelve
miles east Of here, and five miles north
of Drayton, where cars ore furnished
with pleasure to anybody and every.
body. The 81. P. NJ. & NJ. road have

trade in Grand Forks and Grafton, and
all places where they come in compete

one ofthe Manitoba Elevator Monopoly
Co.'S. agent made the threat once to the
business men Of Grafton that he would
haye the grass growing in their streets
before year if they did not stop encour.
aging the independent wheat buyer.
Now there is great danger of the grass
growing on the street between the bust.
ness and the Manitoba.
The feeling here is very bitter against
the Manitoba road, and should they ever
be 30 fortunate as to have another road,
the Manitoba would get badly left. st.
Thomas is lively little town. but this
great drawback OF having the railroad
working against US and farmers drawing
their wheat to other places taks away
lots of trade that belongs here and makes
collections almost impossible.
