Teachers Institute.

A Steele county teachers institute convened
In Hope on Monday morning at Q o'clock. Ow-
ing to the absence Of Prof. Ogden, who had
been appointed to conduct the institute, aud
the further fact that no word had been re-
ceived as to whether he would be here, some
delay was occasioned in getting to work. How
ever, Mr. Marsh and Superintendent AxdahI,
assisted by Mrs. L. D. F. Hogue ard others, set
the ball In motion and kept it rolling till the
arrival Wednesday morning Of Superintendent
Kennedy, Of Trail county, and In tho after
noon Of Prof. Mitchell, who arrived from Fargo
by way of Clifford.
Owing to tho failure Of Prof. Ogden to put

Political A..,..Inntlon.


The assassination OF Hon. John NJ,
Clayton in Arkansas is a blot upon the
fame Of that State, which can never be
elfaced, There are two Democratic ways
to steal a seat in Congress, One way is
to count out the Republican and the
other is to murder him, The FIRST method
we have seen resorted to in West Nir-
GINA; Arkansas has witnessed the 9TH
er, but not for the first time, One
agreeable feature, however, in connec-
ton with the circumstances is that the
best element Of the Democratic party
denounce the outrages, In the Arkansas
case, 1t is probable that the assassination
was the work Of a political crank OF the
Guitcau stripe, and not .the result OF a
conspiracyj but the occurrence Is never
theIess a disgrace to the State, and one
for which the methods OF the Democratic
party there, by which fairly elected
member of Congress was deliberately
deirauded OF his rights, must be held re.
sponsible. A crank or a villain con-
ceiyed that he was called upon to rid his
party OF the danger OF losing a stolen
seat in Congress by making way with
the contestant, and his party must
bear the odium, no matter how sincerely
it may regret the alIair. 1t is another
sad commentary upon the political
methods that prevail in the South, and
which have created "the Southern ques-
ton" that Is the bupbear Of our National
politics. Let us hope that a better day
is coming in the South, when political
murders will be rs infrequent us they
are in the North. The South itself is
not to blame for the condition Of affairs.
1t arises largely from the fact that the
political machine has fallen into the
hands OF few INSCRIPTIONS men who
are governed by but one pripciple-that
"the end iustiGes the MEANS" even
though the means be the stulIing Of bal
lot boxes, intimidation at the polls, and
tho assassination OF their opponents.
The sooner the people come to realize
this and the honest element Of the Dem
ocratic party is given control in Demo-
cratic States, the sooner will the disgrace
be Mined out.

should be left to President Harrison.
No Republican would object to that,
knowing that the appointee NUT be a
Democrat, no matter who Is President,
It would be the height Of improperly
for Mr., Cleveland to assume privilege
properly belonging to his successor,
II it is to be President Cleyeland's
policy to handicap his successor, Gen.
eral Harrison, by reiilling the best offices
with Democrats on the eve Of inaugural
ton day, hoping that General Harrison
could not, under the tenure Of Office act,
or in compliance with the spirit Of the
civil service law, remove them, then the
policy OF the Senate should be to refuse
to confirm, Otherwise the public will
have Its opinion of IN unprecedented
proceeding,
We fancy the Senate has not forgotten
some observations Mr., Grover Cleveland
once made to it about "inoccuous desue.
tude" in connection with the tenure oil

1t is seriously stated that leading Re-
publicans have indicated to President
Cleveland that II it Is his policy to fix
any more Of his faithful lieutenents for a
continued term in Office after he shall

at Washington. He has retained old
and experienced Republican clerks,
rather than discharge them to make
room for incxperiOncedand incompetent
Democrats. Tho reverse Of this policy
applied to tho postal service has gained
for It an uncnyiablC regulation for In
efficiency. Mr.. Miller, in following out
this line, has killed himself with his
party, and is by reason Of 1t, to-day tho
most unpopular Democrat among Dem.

years ago ho was tho unanimous choice
for the position ho now holds.

The experience Of the Dominion Of

Old World and the New World OF the
antipodes.

full operation since 1874; the provincial
laws were assimilated to It little later,
In order to avoid useless repetition il
may be stated that the procedure tOl'
lows pretty closely the British model,
and us regards details left unnoticed may
be understood as being substantially the
same us that already described,
Any twenty-five electors may nom
mate candidate for the Dominion Par
lament, or so many candidates us are to
be elected in the district, The nom
ination paper must contain the name,
residence, and description OF each candl'
date SO as sufficiently to identity him,
In addition the paper must contain the
written consent Of the candidate to the
nomination, unless he is out Of the pro-
vince, in which case that fact must bc
stated. The nominating paper must be
filed with the returning officer at or be-
fore the time set for making nom
nations, and the person tiling the paper
must make oath that he knows the sign
ers to DO qualified electors, that they
signed the paper in his presence, and
that the candidates consent was signed
in his presence, unless In case OF the can
dldate's absence from the province,
AT the same time that the nomination
Is filed a sum OF 5000 must be deposited
with the returning officer by the Candi
date or in his behalf. This sum is sub
sequently returned to him II he is cleo
ted, or II he polls number Of votel
equal to ut least half the number re
