TWIN STATE TALK.

+! One Of the specious cries of the Doodle
combine is that the location of the pub
lie buildings takes the matter out of the
Legislature. This is utterly false. 1t
rObS the people of the right, in their
own good time when needed, to locate
the institutions where needed and
where they want them. 1t brings at
once into the first legislature the worst
feature of lOg-rolling to get large APP
preparations to establish all these pres
ent unnecessary institutions, which
means million of dollars in debt, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars added
taxation to maintain them before there
is any sustaining population. If the
people value their rights and liberties,
they will with one accord vote it down.

{ They wererepeatedly warned by popu-
lar uprisings and public indignation
meetings against carrying out and con-
summating this Ubiquitous scheme in
the final revision of the constitution,
but they answered these warnings and
protests 0nlywith cOntemptuous indiffer-
ence. The people cannot afford to COM
mence statehood with a StupendOuS
scheme of jobbery. The people of the
state will have to go down into their
own pockets to pay the salaries of the
governor. secretary. Judges of the courts
and members of the legislature. all of
which are now paid by the national
government, and the people will not
feel like assuming this extra burden
without any compensating advantages
of g0yernment.-Jame Capital.
In other words if the nominated Re-
publicans want any support from this
Republican paper they'll have to pay for
it like men. We are not running this
paper for glory or for mirth-and no
faction has any ropes on US. This is
business-and we mean business from
this time on. Last call.-Brule Index.
The outcome of the state convention
this week, barring the almost certain
nomination of Gov. Mellette. is enyel-
oped in mystery. Very few instructed
delegations have been chosen and all
the combinations are yet to be made.
Any attempt to put through prear-
ranged slate is liable to meet with the
disaster which befel similar scheme

This would indicate that at the criti-
cal time the liquor men will have the
advantage in the campaign. The Pro-
hibitionists will probably learn that the
Republican leaders sold them out, and
tibet if why the Australian election law
was beaten in the constitutional con-
yeItion.-Clark Democrat.
The Brookings Press, which is Mr..
Mathews organ, was so angry that he
was defeated that it coyertly charged
one of the enemies with setting the fire
that destroyed the Mitchell university a
year and a half ago. Libel suit dam
ages. S10,000.-Belt Herald.
1t will be well to draw thick curtain
over the many disgraceful scenes and
shut out the many more disgraceful
things that have been said. From pres
ent appearances Mr.. Mathews goes
down to the grave which he himself has
dug. If the bitter contest will secure
to the people better grade of political,
moral and commerciSl freedom, it has
not been in vain.-Flandreau Herald.
When Gideon G. Moody shall have
joined the "millionaire club" at Wash
ington, the corporations, trusts and
monopolieS will have added one more
link to the chain with which the people
of this country are being rapidly bound
in slavery to the money power; and the
tariff fOr-surplus party will then have
one more vote for the perpetuation of .
protection to the rich.-Buffalo Gap

There seems to be quite an uprOar
from one or two far and distant iocali-
ties of North Dakota in. regard to the
location of the public institutions. This
noise comes entirely from real estate
men and town boomers, VINO had ealcu-
lated OH following capital on wheels
over the state. Since their project has
entirely failed they content themselves
by leaving off. the gas generated during
their mad race after the capitalize

The young men of North Dakota were
the ones who started and cemented the
combine that won. This is new force
in North Dakota politics, and Col. Plum

really honest, patriotic and nnselfish
men except young men and id fools.

Judge Mcconnell told a Globe re-
porter the other day that he should be a
candidate for district judge. His dis
trict will comprise the counties of Cass,
Steele and Trail. 1t is our opinion
that Judge Mcconnell has made very
good judge, and his election might be a
very opportune move for the people Of
that district Globe.
