The revenue law needs good deal of
revising.
A Hebrew merchant in Grand Forks
few days since, on complaint of He
brew lady, was brought into court
charged with violating the statute i'm
posing fine of 81 for INDUCING in pro-
family. The court and most of the jury
sometimes break out that way when ag-
grayated and there are no ladies or
preachers about; and, of course, the
statute proved to be dead letter. 1t
cannot be enforced for the reason that
public sentiment is against it. That
seems to be the case with the local OPP
ton law in most of the larger towns.
The obvious difference in the two cases
is the license that fills the treasury. Ii
license were required to swear, the treas
uries wonld have to be enlarged.

Since the success of the ten at Chi
cagO it is proposed to put up an electoral
ticket of the same number of names and
poll the party vote, just as if it would
count. The better number would be
If admitted as state There can be no
objection to this, and it would add in
terest to the campaign. 1t would be
still more interesting if the Democrats
also would put out an electoral ticket.
No doubt an arrangement could be made
to have the vote received and counted
by the election officers. 1t would have
as much legal force as the vote taken on
division last year.
Judge or Senator MOODY did not add
to his popularity among the Dakota
people at Chicago by his course as chair
man of the delegation. He was pro-
nounced as dictatorial and arrogant,
| jealous of all the great men under his
/ command, and had personal wrangles
with nearly all the delegates, even the
BAILEY boy" The scheme was
preached to give the convention a, dis

PLUMMER second the nomination of

say-and, by the way, HUBBARD ached
to "knock the stuffin' out of him." as
SAM JONES puts it. A good many Da-
kota people couldn't get tickets to the

would borrow tickets of delegates in

the thing had to be stopped-that HUB

hopefully leading up to fight to a finish,
when the peacemakers interfered. The

| Dakota has not been regarded as much
of hog country outside of a set of pol
| itjcianS, but the south part of the terri
tory is establishing packing houses at
several leading points, and it is stated
that more than a third of the hogs
packed at Sioux City come from Dakota,
besides liberal contributions to Chibago.
This is one of the rapidly expanding
productions, as it can be grown cheaply
and none of the porcine diseases of the
older regions are known.

and to some extent politics, leaving the
Democracy for the Union Labor party.
The number of Democratic papers in
the territory is small, and it is to be re-
GREETED that any should drop out of the
line. But the retiring editor does not
report singular experience in saying
that as party paper the Gazette never
had substantial recognition. If the
Democrats want to built up strong,
aggressive party in Dakota, they must
give better support to their local papers,
and establish more of them. There are
many important counties that have sew
eral thrifty Republican papers but no
| Democratic sheet.

Some papers, stimulated by partisan
feeling or personal grievances, find oc-
caSion to attack Auditor WARD for de-
nying insurance companies the right to
do business when they do not comply
with the law or are found to be frauds.
The Northwestern at Wahpeton has Just
had its wind shut off, and because it is
home company the auditor is charged
with standing in the way of the growth
of business interests. Public Examiner
TYLER, who is Republican and a fair
man, investigated the financial condi-
ton of the company and became salts
fed that its annual statement was unre-
liable and the company insOlvent.
What could the auditor do with such a
report but cancel the authority of the
company? Whether it settled it's losses
or not is not stated. Editor MAPEs, of
the Nelson News, brought suit and got
Judgment against it recently for the
loss of his printing Office, and he is
anxious now to know if his judgment is
good for anything.

There is some danger that the con

II, to nominate candidate for delegate
will not have representation from al
the counties unless there are special
) efforts. There is no contest for the
nomination apparently, or any question:
of principle or policy involving con
