PROBABLY the best posterlor news
paper gossip regarding the Jamestown
convention was that of the Mitchell Re-
publican from the pen of Ralph Wheel
ock, himself delegate and one of the
foremost in shaping the policy and work
of the convention. In speaking of the
delegates elected to Chicago the Repub-
lican says:
Dakota's representatives to Chicago,
whether they are admitted with full pow
ers, or whether the convention adheres to
the time-hOnored precedent and recognizes
but two votes, will cut no small figure in
the deliberations of June 10. Two of the
delegates-Nfoody and Plummer are men
of national reputation, and though OF diff
ferent order of ability respectively, to-
gether will leave no argument in behalf of
Dakota's rights unspoken. Their COL
leagues are representative men of their re-
spective districts, chosen first, for their
soundness on the vital principle of di-
vision, and secondly because of their per-
sonal fitness. The plan of selecting ten
delegates and appOrtiOning them to three
districts divided on population was the
idea Of the Bismarck TRIBUNE, and was
based on the census of 1885. The first
proposition was to allow each subdivision
to name its own delegate, but as this
would have involved the sacrifice of our
division friends in the north, it did not
meet with approval, and the selections
were made after conference between
representatives of the several sections.

Hard to Resist.

PITrsBURG, May 1S.--B. B. Jones, chair
man of the national republican committee,
said tonight: "No; Mr.. Blaine has not ap-
pointed residuary legatee, nor has he ex-
pressed preference for any of the candi4
dates. His wishes are that the best man
may win. Mr.. Blaine will not write another
letter Offering Or withdrawing his declina-
tion. At least I see no reason why he
should. That was intended to be final"
Eyes. believe that Mr.. Blaine would have
been nominated by acclamation it he had
not withdrawn from the field. [ don't
know what Mr.. Blaine would do if he
should receive unanimous nomination by
the Chicago convention, but should think
that it would be hard to resist the demand
OF the party which had so highly honored
him. Upon the whole, think these ques-
tions are not for me, nor even Mr.. Blaine
to answer, but for the republican party in
assembly met"

BISMARCK IN BRIEF.

Professor Robidou ordered rain tor to-
day, but was feeling Respondent last even
ing over the prospect of its arrival. The
weather combination should remember
that if this Juggling with the professor IS
continued his displeasure will be incurred.
The thief who steals flax in the bundle
and the pr0miscuous dog poisoner can find
a suitable associate in the fellow who tears
up lumber laid in a platform around we'll

scription is abroad and his "chromo"
awaits him.
L. G. johnson of Aberdeen, who was in
the city yesterday, stated that the 500 is
shipping an immense amount of track
material to the terminus of the road. The
ties and iron will be ready for the Bis
marck extension as soon as the grade Of
the gap is completed.

ing rapidly. Mr.. Maassen is an artist Of
talent and experience.

Bro. JEWELL of the Bismarck TRIBUNE
iatters himself on the acceptance of his
ten delegation plan and district appOrtion-
ment at Jamestown. Well, it tapprOXimated
to that, certainly, Colonel Plummer be-
ing stretched across the district line, so as
to hail from Brown and Cass both, and his
alternate being taken from the north in
stead of the south district-which about
eQualized the apportionment. However,
we do not coincide with the TR1BUNE's
opinion that the convention must take the
whole or none. 1t is best to accept CRATE
fully what the convention allows.-FargO
Republican.
There was no better way to emphasize
the Dakota question than to elect ten
delegates to the republican convention
at Chicago. This having been done, the
TRIBUNE is now decidedly of the opinion
that the delegates should "carry the war
into Egypt" and demand recognition for
ten or nothing. If we are entitled to
any voice in the convention we are en-
titled to ten delegates, and a republican
convention will not fail to do justice to a
long suffering people.

Dynamite Explosion.

NEeAuNEE, MICH, May 1s.-An explos-
ion of dynamite occurred in the Palmer
mine here at about 1:sO this morning. Fred
Henburg and Charles Lundberg, who were
in the powder house at the time preparing
cartridges, were instantly killed. From
the positions in which the bodies were
found tou,s 1t it would appear that they were in
both were as il killed while rInning.
Lundberg's back was torn in a frightf1i
manner. An iron. staple which was driven
into the door was found imbedded in the
flesh: Henberg's body was in even worse
condition, many bones seeming to have
been broken. Both men have families de-
pendent upon them.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1888-05-25

WHILE the complexion and sentiment
of the recent republican convention in
Dakota was decidedly on the side of tenn
perance, yet there was very general
feeling that the most practical legislation
is that of high license and strict police
regulations. High license legislation
has been successful thus far in other
states, while local option in Dakota is a
failure. The republicans of Jamestown
acted wisely in refraining, at least until
their next territorial convention, from
passing any specific resolutions regard
ing the liquor traffic. It is, however,
the duty of the republican party to take
an advanced position on the liquor ques-
tion. The cowardice of the democratic
party in this regard makes such a step
one of good policy for the republicans.
The sentiment against the curse of in
temperance is growing stronger every
day, and it behooves that party which
hopes to gain and hold the ascendancy
in this country to meet the issue with
wise legislation. The wisdom of abso-
lutte prohibition at this time is ques-
toned; that of high license is now being
given a fair test in many of the states,
and temperance people should carefully
watch the results rather than fly off on
tangent and effect, by the organization
of an independent organization, the de-
feat of the only party that has the in
cination or power to bring about whole
some temperance LEGISLATION.

running a very torturious and unsatis.
factory line for fifty miles northwest of
that point with view of connecting with
the Aberdeen, Bismarck & Northwestern
have returned to that city to confer with
the directors of the road. A new route
has been decided upon, which, however,
will not be quite so direct as it was hoped
to make it. A survey is now being made
from Monango southwest to Ashland
formerly Hopkins), the county seat of
Mcintosh county. As soon as this link
is completed the road will be ironed to
Bismarck.

PROHIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT.

One has but to visit the cities in those
counties where local option carried at
last falls election to see the absolute
failure of prohibition to prohibit. In
every one of these towns liquors of all
kinds can be obtained. Drunkenness is
as frequent as ever and the municipality
is deprived of the license revenue hereto
fore received, amounting to enough to
support an efficient police force. In
Sioux Falls, where $4,000 has hereto
fore been collected for licenses, now not
a cent is paid and the door of every
saloon is as wide open as before the local
option election. Grand Forks and Fargo
are deprived of about the same amount
of revenue, yet the expense of sustaining
a police force and the frequency Of
Common drunks" are just the same as
ever. In Aberdeen the same condition of
affairs exists. In some of these places
the saloons are not wide open, but have
been turned into club rooms with a
swatch key" for every customer. It is
not necessary to call for whisky to get
whisky. A demand for "cold tea" will
get the stuff just as well-"long" or
"short" will bring out the "rye" or
'sbourbon'' brands as the customer de-
sires. In speaking of the operation of
the law in Grand Fords the Plaindealer
says: ...
That prohibition is failure in Grand
Forks county, at least, is now admitted on
all sides. The next question is, what shall
we do with it? It has cost Grand Forks
county and city ever $4,000 to determine
that prohibition did not prohibit. 1t will
the experiment is continued. Are the tax
payers of the city and county willing to
continue to squander this amount of money
to no end and to no purpose? We believe
not. Having satisfied themselves at a
princely price, that the prohibition god
meant, in fact. free whisky. they will dis
devil has invariably taken the third trick,
and being euchred is a chesnut we are
anxious to get rid Of. At least such are
the views expressed by many who labored
ZealOusly in the prohibition cause last fall.
Only few days ago lady OF our city
who demonstrated her enthusiasm for
election day from the opening to the clos
ing of the polls, was heard to remark that
sle did not think it could possibly result
IN allowing the saloons to run wide open.
Her loyalty to the instinct that prompted
her enthusiasm will perhaps never waver,
prohibition for Grand Forks county. There
is one factor, however, IN the liquor Ques-
tion on which there must be no doubt. If
prohibition be repealed at the coming
election we must have high license, and by
high license we mean the maximum limit
81, 900. The saloon keepers must make
settled fact, and every disposition shown
on their part to agitate against high license
will surely react to their own detriment.

GRANTS CANDIDATE.

Judge Gresham's first promotion after
the war came about in this way: The
United States district judgeship in
Southern Indiana became vacant in 1869.
There were hosts of candidates. Gresham
himself recommended his law partner.
The papers, when submitted to President
Grant, disclosed Gresham's name to
another's petition. The old commander
said nothing, but sent over to to the war
department for Rawlins. "Rawlins, we
have got to appoint district Judge in
Southern Indiana, and here's a pile of
applications. On the papers of one of
them is an Endorsement from Walter O.
Gresham. Amt that our Walt. Gresham
that used to be in front of Vicksburg?"
Rawlins said he thought it was. "Well,"
said Grant, "you find out, and if it
is we won't look any further for Judge.
He's the man for the place if he will take
it." It was soon ascertained that it was
sWalt," and his name was promptly sent
to the senate. The first notice of the ap-
pointment came to him by mail, His
comment was: "It must be mistake. -
He said: 81 can't fill such place. What
do know about law?" He accepted in
few days and his record as a Judge
stands without a rival in Indiana. In
the twelve years he was on that bench he
never had single case reversed.

TEN VOTES OR NONE.

The Jamestown republican convention
elected ten delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago instead of two, the
number allotted them on the national COM
mittee call. These ten delegates stand
upon an equal footing. If all are admitted
votes are finally conceded to Dakota they
will cast One-fifth of vote apiece.-Yank-
ton Press and DakOtian.
They will do nothing of the sort. The
republicans of Dakota have met in con-
vention, and the combined wisdom and
counsel of that distinguished body of
men favored the ten delegate scheme as
first proposed by the Bismarck TRIBUNE.
We are entitled to the delegation upon
the basis of our population, as shown by
the bi-decennial census of 1885, and be-
ing entitled to ten votes in the national
republican convention, it would be folly
to accept less. A republican convention,
if as solicitious about Dakota's welfare
as the leaders of the party profess, and
as indicated by the action of the major
ity in the United States senate, then
Vuc1o ucou no uO apprehension AcSdIu-
ing the admission of ten delegates. If
in an unguarded moment, acting under
some invisible influence, the republicans
at Chicago should decline to grant the
small measure of justice asked for the
great territory of Dakota, then let the
appeal go forth to the peoole. We have
selected delegation of proud, brainy
and distinguished men to go to Chicago,
and if the TRIBUNE rightly understands
them they are no "one-ffth'' men-not
one of them. They will make respect
full and earnest plea for Dakota with a
consciousness of right on their side, be-
ieving that in this as in all other mat
ters that may be brought before the con-
vention, the representatives of the party
of progress, equal rights and human lib
erty, will not fail to act wisely and just.
Dakota's delegation will cast ten votes
for the nomination of the man who will
lead the republican party to victory next
fall or not at all.

The high license bill just passed by
the Massachusetts legislature fixes 81, 900
as the price of first class license, COW
ering all kinds of beverages; $3.50 for
the sale of liquors with less than Is per
cent. of alcohol, and $500 for wholesale
licenses. A bill has also passed both
houses limiting the number of saloons to
one for every 1,O00 people, except in
Boston, where there may be one for

relief to the sixth district. It helps the
third and fifth, but leaves all that portion
of North Dakota west of Cass still in one

one judge to properly cover. Delegate
Clifford should look into this matter

In various parts of the territory the
question of the eligibility of county sup
erintendent of schools is being raised.
The educational bill passed by the last
legislature seems to be full of incon-
sistencies. 1t seems that while cities
constituting independent school districts
are taxed to support the schools of the
county, in reality they have nothing to
do regarding the election of county sup.
erintendent of schools. The following
are the sections of chapter 81, session
laws of 1887 relating to this subject:
Sec. 20. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
qualified voters OF the several sub-districts
in each organized county OF the territory
shall, at the annual school election in
June, in each even numbered year, begin
ming with the year 1888, and at the same
time and in the same manner that the di-
rectOrs are chosen, as provided in sections
II and 13 of this act, elect one county sup
erintendent Of public schools, either male
or female, whose term OF Office shall be
two years, beginning with the first day of
October, following the election.
Sec q. QUALIFICATIONS OF voTERs-In
elections held under the provisions of this
act all persons who are qualified electors
under the general laws of our territory,
and all women oftwenty-one years of age,
and over, having the necessary qualifica-
tiOns as to citizenship and residence re.
quired by the general laws, and who have
children of school age under their control,
shall be qualified voters.
Sec. %. WHO ELIGIBLE ETOOFFICE-All per-
sons, either male or female, being twenty
one years of age and over, having the
necessary qualifications under the general
laws as to residence and citizenship,s be
eligible to the office of school director,
judge or clerk of election, township clerk
or county superintendent of public
schools.
1t is maintained by some that a per-
son living within the independent
school district is not eligible to the office
of county superintendent of schools be-
cause he or she is not qualified voter.
The TRIBUNE doubts the soundness of
this argument however, because the Of
fee Of superintendent is county officer
and he is presumed to have his office at
the county seat. It is an inconsistent
law however, and one that should receive
the careful attention of the next legisla-
ture.

Nearest Friends,
New YORK, May 18.-The World this
morning says that there have been numer-
GUS conferences in this city between the
leaders of the Blaine movement, and that
active efforts in his behalf are now going
on within the party in every state in the
union. Chairman B. T. Jones and L. B.
Elkins of the national committee are
named as the most active friends of Blaine
in the efforts to bring about his nomina-
ton. The Blaine leaders positively assert
that under no circumstances will Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew permit his name to go before
the Chicago convention and that that gen.
tleman will himself, as delegate, work
for the nomination of Mr.. Blaine. They
also assert that Blaine will accept the
nomination if rendered him. The follow
ing table, the World adds, may lie accept
ed as having been closely scanned, in fact
practically prepared, by Mr.. Blaine's
