He is a bright, active, competent gen

SENATOR CASEY!

After week of wrangling and wire
pulling the North Dakota legislature
has at last finished the task of elect
ing two United States senator's to rep
resent us at Washington. Their first
choice was Gilbert A. Pierce, former
ly Dakota's governor. The second
senatorial plum has fallen into the
lap of J.. r. Casey, of Jamestown
Mr.. Casey is gentleman eminently
fitted for this position. Highly edu-
Gated, courteous, dignifed, a good
talker and thorough Dakotan, he
will go to Washington feeling that in
him the people of North Dakota will
have no reason to be ashamed OF
their choice. The COURIER was for
NJ. N. Johnson, but inasmuch as Mr..
Johnson could not get there we
heartily endorse Mr.. Casey. The
editor of the COURIER has known
MIR. Casey personally for the past
eight years, and what we do know of
him is to his credit. Mr.. Casey. we
congratulate you!

\ citizen in the Fargo Argus say

\ citizen in the Fargo Argus says
the following kind words of NJ. N.
Johnson:
If Hon. NJ. N. Johnson could have
been pledged i'll behalf Of the inter-
ests of railroads and other monopo-
lies, and had he not been tainted with
traces of Scandinavian heredity, he
would undoubtedly have received ere
this the republican nomination for
the United States senate. His rcpub-
lican loyalty is unquestioned. AS a
scholar, parliamentarian, debater and
public speaker, he has no superiors
in the Northwest, and exceedingly
few equals, if any, in North Dakota.
He has considerable legislative cx-
periencc, is a thorough jurist, and
withal staunch friend of the farmer
and laborcr. But his parents immi-
grated from foreign country only
some fifty years ago. Though Amer
ican by birth and education, he yet
understands and speaks the language
of his forefathers, and this fact, won
dcrful to relate. is one of the chief
reasons why our representative peda-
gogues ofthe Simon pure "blue belly"
extraction SO pcrsistently Oppose
him. The birth place of his father
and mother-is against him in-thc
senatorial race. The Honorables
Stevens and Williams appear to be
gathering in goodly quantities of
laurels and other useful or ornamen-
tai things by their opposition to John
son. 1t is well that such "lcpresen-
tatives Of the people" fly their true
colors, even though the corporations
should succeed in innicting upon
North Dakota one of its tools as Uni
ted States senator.

If the farmer voters of North Oak
ota had pursued the same policy in
theelection few weeks ago that the
farmer members of the legislature are
now pursuing in the election of Uni
ted States senator there would be a
less number of farmers with "IIon. +"
prefxed to their names and railroad
passes in their pockets. The only
pronounced farmer candidate for the
senatorship, endorsed by leading
farmers and farmers alliance men in
all parts of the state, Walter Muir,
only received thirteen votes from
the something over sixty supposedly
representatives of pronounced farm
ers who elected them. These farmer
representatives have by their action
in this matter Knocked the argument
out of clecting farmers to represent
farmers in the legislature hereafter.
There is no use in callinga spade a
silver spoon, nor farmer legislator
a farmer representative unless each is
made ofthe right kind of metal to
back the assertion up. We hope the
farmers may be spared such reprcsen-
tation (?) in future legislatures

The official organ comes off its
perch and squeals like a stuck pig at
the farmer members of the legislature
because they have had sense enough
to sit down on blatherskite candi-
dates for the U. S. senate. The
farmer members of the legislature are
all right. Walter Muir is better
hand at dealing in town lots than in
running as candidate for the U. S.
senate.

in joint session that Senator Pierce

this does not settle the matter. The

to settle this question. The senator's

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION.
Why ya'or without Consideration Is .
Dangerous Quality.

.
Dangerous Quality.
The "discretion" which Is said to
be 1.-The better part of val0r" is not
usually understood to be q quality OF
which the possessor has any particu-
lar reason to feel proud; it is looked
upon. indeed, as an indication of
something very like cowardice. Cow
ardico in u man, fortunately for this
country, is looked upon by all classes,
from the ragged vendor of evening
newspapers to n primo minister. as
the one social sin for which there Is no
forgiveness. hence the imputation be-
comes serious one. AS q matter OF
fact, however, it is pre-eminently true
that discretion is the better part of
valor." Valor without discretion, SO
far from being useful quality, is apt
to be very dangerous one. The
valor of our private soldiers is beyond
question, but the exercise OF the dis.
erection which controls it is fortunately
not left to them; if it we're we should
have splendid instances of bravery, no
doubt, but our army as an effective
weapon of war would soon cease to
exist.
Discretion is the tie which binds to-
gether all the faculties OF the mind:
without it, they have no more cohesion
than loose bundle of sticks. He who
enjoys the proper exercise OF this
faculty enjoys il, unfortunately, to the
exclusion of countless numbers of his
fellow-beings. 1t is faculty which
can be developed by practice, and it
can be lost by disuse, following in
this respect the Darwinian order OF
things. Soldiers taught to perform
their different evolutions at the word
of command, act mechanically at last,
depending upon the volition of some-
body else instead of their own. Re-
lieved from the necessity of consider.
ing what course they would, under
particular circumstances, adopt, they
cease to consider about it altogether,
and If at some supreme crisis they are
deprived of those who have done the
thinking for them. they are as incapa-
BILE of intelligent and combined action

MOACO'S FUTURE RULER.
Prince Albert Has No Love for the Gam
blors of Monte Carlo.

Prince Albert Has No Love for the Gam
blors of Monte Carlo.
Prince Albert of Monaco inherits
his good qualities and talents from his
father, Charles I'LL, reigning Prince of
Monaco. Charles III. is now totally
blind. How sad it is that this Prince,
whose castle is situated in the most
picturesque spot on the face of the
globe, poised like an eagles nest on
the summit of a steep rock washed by
the Mediterranean. can not enjoy all
these beauties. I asked Prince Albert
why this little territory called Monaco
had escaped annexation to some pow
erful neighbor. why during centuries
1t has preserved a special character.
"Of course, the situation is excep-
tional," answered the Prince, "but the
cause of Monaco's prosperity is not its
geographical situation; seek for it
rather in the hereditary diplomatic
skill of its rulers. Since 96S the house
of Grimaldi has reigned over this
country, and from the fifteenth cent
ury, at least, all the Princes of Mona
co have aimed at consolidation. In
the sixteenth century Charles V. took
the sovereignty of the Grimaldis under
his protection. and in the following
century an alliance with France &C
centuated the independence of Monaco,
an independence that came distinct
after 1915. In 1859, however, there
was danger for the principality, and
then appeared my father, Prince
Charles. Then he was forty years old,
had received his education in Paris,
and had already given proofs of great
intelligence. With great zeal he
caused every event to turn in favor OF
Monaco.
To-day Monaco needs aid from nc
country, it's diplomatic corps is known
to the entire world, its commercial re-
lations with foreign countries are well
regulated, its money, struck with the
head of the Prince, is current every.
where, and an order of chivalry has
been created-perhaps one that has
the greatest value because of the diff.
Guilty with which the decorations are
bestowed. Although blind. the Prince
of Monaco manages the affairs of his
government With perhaps more skill
than any other ehiet Of state"

When I asked Prince Albert If he

When I asked Prince Albert If he
had ever received the decoration OF
the Legion Of Honor, he replied:
Eyes, I was made commander last
year because of my geological re-
searches, and | assure you that tiny
red ribbon is to me prouder badge
than all the high decorations have
received. France is my favorite coun-
try, for in my veins there is French
blood. l am great-grandnephew OF
Duguesclin and Dunois, heroes under
Charles VII. and during the Franco
Prussian war l fought for France"
Leo XIII. said of Prince Albert:
HE is truly wise Prince" and this
is not faint praise, coming from the
Holy Father. Albert is really sage
of olden times, a philosopher, man
who seeks enjoyment only in science.
Six months of the year, Prince
Charles lives at his castle at Marchais.
department of the Aisne, France.
There he is the Providence of the
country, and receives the greatest re-
spect from the inhabitants. Prince
Albert regrets that the treaty with
reference to the Monte Carlo gam
bling-house is not voidable for many
years, but he agrees with his father
that the Blancs have made the fortune
of the principally of three thousand
natives.
Ihave in previous letter spoken Of
Prince Alberts matrimonial difficult
ties. When only twenty-one he mur-
ried the daughter of the Duke of Ham
ilton, but eight or nine years later
their marriage was dissolved by the
Vatican. Six months later the Prin-
cess married a Hungarian. Count Tas-
silo de Festetics. Since that time she
has never seen Albert of Monaco, and
although he has not explained the
causes Of their trouble, even to his in
innate friends. the world in general
blames the Princess. The son Louis,
now nineteen years old, will soon
graduate from the Sarbonne. He re-
mains with his father, and, believe,
since the separation he has not seen
his mother.
