Look on the Bright Side.

A philosophical North Dakota paper
contributes this bit of advice to all sec
tons where t is pertinent:
Dakota soil is the best on earth. Her
grasses are the richest that grow. Her
wheat is the best the world produces.
Where is the country that does not on
perience an occasional failure? 1t does
not exist.
Brace up. We know that it is discour-
aging, but where will you find anything
better? Go back to the older states and
encounter not only drouth, but grasshop-
pers, chinch bugs, Hessian fly. weevil,
cutworm, cyclones. floods and malarin-
one or moro of these pests aud Affections
every year. Better stay where you are and
endure an occasional set back and have
good health.
The man who loses his crop is not a
pauper. Morally he has the same claim
upon the county orthe state TINT he would
have if he were made destitute through
other causes. 1t is no disgrace to be poor,
especially when poverty is the result of
circumstances over which men have no
control.

The English Contest Over Royal Grants
In the house OF commons, sitting in
committee, John Morley moved TN amend
ment, declaring the house unwilling to
increase the burdens of the people without
the assurance that no further claims will
be made for the younger members of the
royal family. He especially objected to
the assertion of a claim to a grant by The
g%lnndchil ,ren of the queen. Chamberlain
said Morley objected to the grants because
no tinallty was promised, but a5 reg rded
the present reign the proposed grants were
absolutely final. Labouchere said he
hailed Morley's amendment as a practical
refusal Of further grants during the pres
ent reign. With the future reign he would
not trouble himself. Public opinion was
making ~striies towards q universal accent
ance of the principle that the sovereign,
like any other head Of a family, ought to
provide for her children. In conclusion
he said lie and his colleagues would be
beaten on division, but he intended to op-
pose the & ants at every stage rs a moral
protest against h crowns claim. Morley's
amendment was defeated by a vote of $50

bulk OF the dissidcnts again voted with tie

The Ten Territorial Governors,

There are three ex-governors of Dakota
living in Yankton. AS a rule, tho men
sent out by the federal government as gov
errors, judges, surveyors and land officers
have remained in the territory after their
terms expired. This is pretty good evidence
of the desirability Of residence hero.
The territory has had half a score of
governors. Most of them are living and
all who are living with one exception are
permanent residents of either North or
South Dakota. William Jayne, with
whom the list begins, returned to Illinois
and died there recently.
Newton Edmunds, Andrew J. Faulk,
and John L.. Pennington are the three ex-
governors who live at Iankton. Gov.
Faulk is IS, and !egins to show his age.
he has been a Dakotan twenty years.
Newton Edmunds is over 10. but is still an
active business man, and his tall, slender
form is frequently seen at notable gather
ings. John L. Pennington is quite an old
man, but still active and in business.
Gov. Burbank was the fourth executive
of the territory. He was a son-in-law of
Senator o liver P. Morton, of Indiana.
Alter MS term OF governor OF Dakota eE-
pired he entered the poslofice department
as an inspector, and for q long time the
territory was part of his inspection dis
