Several Of our democratic Journals.
tic friends as we'll as republican con.
emporaries are all worked up and
thrown into a heap of CONSERVATION
and alarm over tn, presentation by
the PIONEER G: the condition that
now contronts US. Some evidently
misunderstood, others willfully mis-
construe, while some regard it right.
fully. W. extract from the ST.. Paul
Pioneer Press it's view of the case.
There is nothing wrong about that
we hope; at any rate We feel assured
that the people Of Bottineau county
will sustain it. Says tho P. P.
The Bot,inesu Pioneer comes out with a
neaty editorial on the condition that oon.
fronts the people of that region and the
Republican party. 1t calls attention to the
independent spirit Of the border counties and
warns both parties against unpopular nom
nations on the eve OF statehood. Unpopular
men ant carry those counties for either
party. 1t says: "The nominees must be
above reproach, the recognized friends of
econom and loyal to the air name. of the
coming state"
No less pungent are the clear cut
but homely sentences Of the Pierce
County Tribune-which says of us;
He warns both parties that the day of the
"shyster" Is over and that henceforth only
men who are e.pa de, homes a~d conscien-
tious will be tolerated for puo /; Office and
she party nominating any o.ner cannot hope
for public confidence. His prcst nta ton OF
the name OF Ex-Governor Pierce as an exam
pie Of the CLASS OF men who should be placed
at b head Of affairs Of state, Is an apt one.
Mr.. Pierce is In every respect worthy OF the
high Office for which he Is mentioned.
While it cannot be denied that
there are good, worthy, honest and
capable men. like Secretary McCor.
mack, Judges Rose, Garland and many
others in the democratic party, it
must be admitted that their chances
as democrats, in view of recent re.
suits, are very slim. Democratic
opportunity lies in the mistakes or
blunders Of the republican party
managers, and the democratic party
of North Dakota today is simply
in that condition which in state and
national affairs it has 80 tenaciously
held for so many years, compelling
by q course Of wise conservatism the
selection Of good men from the other
side-trulv, if not in power itself, an
excellent missionary work. We sub
NIT to the inevitable and we advise
u caviling friends to do likewise.
There is no abatan ent of zeal or
sacrifice of prin+iol, n~ecessar7. As
we ssid in the editorial referred t..
IF the republican party give US un-
worthy men and democrats take ad.
vantage Of the situation, then will be
their opportunity" Wait.

townships Or 437, 760 acres have been sur
veyed and 2S0,400 acres have come into
market and Of which nearly $4,000 acres
have been appropriated by settlers under
the land laws, as appears by the rsco DIS Of

territory is receiving only the most pro
gressive Of the negro race. The fact that
they are securing lands indicates that they
are coming here to better their condition.
The largest settlements are north of the
Cimarron both east and west of the Rock
Island railroad. A settlement OF over 200
families have been made in the
point of the territory extending west
ward above the Cimafron, and still
larger one has been made between the
Rock Island and Skeleton creek. They
have started two towns. one on the Rock
Island at the old Red Fork ranch and an
other ten miles east on the north side of
the Cimarron. Rev. Swartz and Rev. Il.
II. Martin have just been over the country
looking up location for an academy to
cost s., 900 and to be buiit from the Ameri-
eau Freedmen's fund. They did not de-
eide on the location, but it will be built at
one of the two villages mentioned. Those
who got in early enough in the season
have raised fair crops of corn, sweet pota-
toes, melons, etc. They are busily engaged
now putting up comfortable log houses
These they can erect with hardly a dollar
of cash outlay as good timber for all
building purposes is plentiful in that re-
gion. Deer, turkeys and wild hogs abound
in their neighborhood and occasionally a
bear or a panther is seen. The sale of game
together with the revenue derived from the
sale of fence posts and fire wood will
almost support them during this their first
year in the promised land

the Ohio river at Cairo has been COM
pleted and was thoroughly tested last
Tuesday by running ten large ''mogur'
engines across it at one time. 1t would
seem that this bridge would work an in

surance from the president of the Illinois
Central that all trains will still stop at
Cairo. except through freights. Speak
ing of the Illinois Central. that road is
now engaged IN the queer enterprise of
paralleling Its own line for distance of
over fifty miles south from the Ohio
river in order to get into Memphis. With
this new line completed it will have a
route open down the east bank of the
Mississippi river for more than three
hundred miles, interesting the main
line at Grenada, Miss. Over the fifty
mile stretch alluded 10 the Centrars two
lines will not be more than ten miles
apart at the farthest, and much of the
distance in sight of each other, with the
Mobile & Ohio road sandwiched in be-
tween.

THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY LAW.
The County Cannot Be Bsnkrupted as
Represented.

There is a great misunderstanding ex-
listing in the minds of many people as to
the probability of the assistant attorney
general bankrupting the county for his
fees for convicting jointist. 1t seems to
be supposed that the county must pay
him $50 for each count on which there
is conviction. This is mistake. The
county is not liable for cent of his fees
unless the county commissioners make
it so by their own action. The law is
that if there is conviction, and the
commissioners release the defendant
from jail without the pay
ment of the costs then the
county becomes liable to the assistant
attorney general for his fees. But the
commissioners are not required to release
any man without payment of all costs,
and we are satisfied the present board
will never do so. 1t was the practice at
one time in this county for jointists to
plead guilty in the court, be sentenced
to pay fine and costs and to be COM
mitted to Jail until the fine and costs
were paid, and walk straight across the
street to the county commissioners who
were generally conveniently in session
and be released from imprisonment
without payment of either fine or costs,
thus making a roaring farce of all prose-
cutions.
The object of putting in the provision
for payment of fee to the attorney
general was to put stop to such stulti-
fication, and it seems to have had the
desired effect.
If man is convicted of jointistry and
wishes to escape the gloomy corridors of
Hotel Hays, let him pay up; otherwise
he may have to rot.
There is only one sure way to escape
and that is to steer clear of the iointistry
business aforesaid
