The other day the TRIBUNE contained
editorial comment on the Mellette- Ward
controversy, in which the question was
asked, 'What has, Ward to say to that?"
Ward has had his say. He came out in
a two column letter in which, after lit
tie caustic introduction and a recital of
the Oswald case, and the circumstances
of the crime, he denies that he (Ward)
was removed by Mellette, and charges
Mellette with being responsible for the
unpleasant financial condition of the
state. He closes his letter as follows:
"We now hear this long-eared hypocrite
(Mellette) braying over the state for econ
omy and condemning the legislature for
doing his own bidding. desire to call the
attention of Mr.. Mellette to fact that is be-
coming painfully apparent to his friends.
1t is that he is cOnspicuOusly troubled with
swelled head. His letter to me is that of a
bully and braggart and therefore coward
for all braggarts are towards. He cannot
escape this charge for the braggart and the
bully is stamped upon his face, it appears
in every public document he has ever is-
sued and every public act he ever per-
formed. He is thick-headed, small-minded,
arrogant and cOnceited. The vulgar, abus-
i've and lying statement which appeared in
the Press over the signature of "A. G. Mel
lette, governor of South Dakota, has made
this plain statement of facts appropriate
and necessary"

A QUESTION seems to have arisen as to
the manner of determining the salaries Of
the subordinate officers Of the two houses
of the legislature. This can be done by
either of two ways, viz: by general law
or by resolution of either house. In Min
nesota each house fixes the pay of its
subordinate officers and in the house il
is done by rule. In Illinois general
law fixes the salaries. 1t is clearly the
right of each house to fix the salaries Of
its employees, either by resolution OF
of both houses by concurrent resolution.
The appropriation bill for per diem, etc,
has already passed. It now remains for
the legislature to fix the salaries. The
house has already done this by resolu-
ton. There ought not to be much dis
cussion over this problem.

EARLY last spring the Rural New
Yorker inaugurated a "woman's national
potato raising contest by offering pre-
miums for the most prolific potato
patches manipulated entirely by women.
A synopsis Of the result shows that there
were 1000 contestants and that 200 pre-
miums were awarded. Mrs. Eliza Day
Of johnson county, Wyoming, was the
taker Of the first prize Of 800 for yield
at the rate Of 1,O15as bushels per acre.
Miss Mary Rusk of Madison county, nli-
nois, comes in second with 97O.66 as her
measure and Mrs. M. I. Covell Of Eric
county, Ohio, scores the third with 995
bushels per acre and SO on. With prohi-
bition, irrigation and woman suffrage
all in good working order and with next
years political programme worked of,
North Dakota will be in line for some Of
these aesthetic prizes.

II CHARGE him with being bribe
giver and bribe taker, and can prove
it." These are words of no uncertain
meaning, and when hurled from the lips
of North Dakota state senator upon
the floor of the senate against an ex. gov
ernor of Dakota territory and prominent
candidate for the United States senate,
they carry with them the most profound
force. This was the charge of the Hon.
Judson LaMoure, of Pembina, against
Hon. N. g. Ordway in the senate cham.

charge and demands an explanation from
Ex-Governor Ordway, if desired, upon an

Mr.. LaMoure understood fully the force
and scope of his remark, but it is not
enough for him to charge. A denial
from Governor Ordway and the proof
from Mr.. LaMoure are next in order.

to comprehend why the compiled laws

The agricultural college bill passed
both houses by two-thirds vote and
now goes to the governor for his sigma
ture. The college was located at Fargo
by the legislature Of 1883, but while the
jamestown, Grand Forks and Bismarck
public institutions were provided with an
appropriation, this was not. At the
next session of the legislature the act Of
1888 was revived, and was followed by
bill appropriating $4,000 for construc-
ton, which the governor vetoed. The
matter was then allowed to rest until
last winter, when after q bitter contest a
bill was passed locating the college at
Valley City, and making an appropria-
ton therefor. This was also vetoed
by the governor. The location
was finally fixed in the constitution.
Congress has appropriated 10000 acres
of land for the purpose of this college,
and has appropriated $4,000 annually
for the support Of the college. Now it is
proposed to appropriate 800 700 to erect
this college. This is necessary in order
to make available the sl5,O 900 appropri-
ated by the government for the expert
mental station. Cass county deserves
this consideration. The interest Of the
farmers of the state will be served if the
bill becomes law. Backed as it is by
10000 acres Of land, no possible injury
can come to the credit ef the state by the
adoption of this measure. It is not
time to erect many new institutions, but
this one at Fargo ought to be considered
an exceptian. This institution ought to
be built if another public institution is
not erected for ten years.

The bill introduced by Senator Robin
son for the location or establishment of a
normal school at Mayville, differs from
most of the bills of this character being

ask dollar of the state. It simply asks
for the people of Mayville- of all
North Dakota who are interested in educa-
tion-the privilege of laying foundations
and starting the work, and thus advance
the institution and do for the state what
it does not feel able to do for itself.
