81. B. WINSTON COR Ma YOR.

h' Z
The Democratic city convent ton,
which convened at Harmonic hall last
Wednesday, placed in nomination a
very strong ticket. 2. B. Winston was
unanimously chosen for the office of
Mayor. Mr.. Winston is one of the
best citizens Minneapolis can boast Of.
He has long been identified with this
CITY. and has SHOWN himself to be a
splendid business man. From the time
the convention assembled and elected
it's temporary officers, it was patent to
all present that Mr.. Winston would
head the ticket. c. M. Foote. who was
a strong candidate for the place, and
had considerable backing, foreseeing
the inevitable, covered himself with
glory by announcing his determination
to stand by the partv OF which he has
been worthy member for over 20
years, and realizing that no man ls
greater than the political party he be
longs to. placed in nomination for
mayor MIR. Winston. This was the
signal for an outburst Of applause that
was simply deafening. The nomination
was made without dissenting vote
Mr.. Winston thanked the convention
but asked that the honor conferred on
him be transferred to some other. The
convention would not and did not grant
Mr.. Winston's request, and so the biz
handsome railroad contractor was forced
to accept the nomination which came TO
him without an effort. This is one Of
the few instances on record where the
nomination sought the man. II came
to Mr.. Winston without any effort on
his part. and speaks volumes for the
confidence the Democracy of Mime
apolis have In him. Mr.. Winston is a
thorough business man, an upright,
clean and conservative citizen. and a
credit to the community in which he
lives. For many years he has been,
and is to-day engaged in railroad build
ing in which he has become wealthy.
During all this time he has never had
any difficulty with his employees. Many
men whom he took into his employ
years ago are still On his pay roll, and
no better sign of fair treatment of his
men could we ask for. He is very popu
lar here among all classes of citlzsns.
irrespective of party, and will make the
mayorality contest very interesting for
the Republicans. Who they will NOM
mate against him is still a mystery. but
it is safe to say that there will be fewer
candidates on convention day for the
Office of Mayor on the Republican ticket
than there were before Mr.. Winston
was nominated. Politicians, generally.
confess that the Democratic convention
was harmonious to a fault, and that
the selection De Mr.. Winston was the
best move the party could make. It
will be warm campaign, but as to
results We will be better able to predict
when we hear from the Republican side
of the house. The platform adopted BY
the convention wisely favors shorter
hours of labors, retrenchment and re-
form in fact and not in name in CITY
and an uncomprOmislng
opposition to all such protective tariff
measures as the notorious Mckinley

MANY VALUABLE REMEDIES.

The failure of crops in Ireland this
year seems to be more general than we
are aware of. In many parts of the un-
fortunate island the people Are subsist-
ing on what We would starve to death
in this country. Still the government
proposes no remedy for the threatened
famine, in fact it seems to look lightly
on everything that has been said, and
published on the subject, The London
Chronicle. evidently anticipating a
move Of the government to solve the
problem by assisted emigration, sug-
gests migration from the congested dis
tricts to waste lands such as require to
be reclaimed and cultivated, in order to
furnish subsistence for the surplus
population. 1t begs the government to
take prompt action in the matter, and
not wait until the people are enfeebled
by hunger. Will the government take
the Chronicles advice? We hope it will,
but we doubt it. 1t certainly never
showed a disposition to help the Irish
people. Little can be expected from a
government that furnishes police and
soldierv to help heartless landlords to
turn out their tenants on the roadside

Irish people all over the world could

+ JUDGE ROSE Of Jamestown. North
Dakota filed decision last week on the
ubiquitous ''origlnal package" which
puts the cold water element Of the two
Dakotas in worse place than they
were before prohibition went into eff
feet. The title Of the case is the Estate
against John Bergreen." The defend
ant is an "origina1 package" dealer In
Valley City. The complaint alleges
that he sold liquor in violation OF the
prohibition law by selling in original
packages, and that under said law his
place was q nuisance. An order was
therefore asked restraining him from
further selling. The defense commended
that the statute prohibiting the sale OF
liquor in original packages was uncon'
stitutional when it was enacted and is
still nullity. Judge Rose holds that
the law when enacted was unconstitu-
tional. He says that congress having
the sole power to regulate commerce
among the states and not having
granted power to the states to legislate
prohibiting the Importation and sale Of
Intoxicating liquors at the time the
legislative assemble Of the state of
North Dakota enacted the act. the state
was without authority to pass the act,
and the act was void when passed and
imperative 70 far as it prohibits the i'm
portation and sale Of Intoxicating
LIQUORS. This opens the gates once
more, and we need not be surprised to
hear LOUD wall 60 out from the camp
of fanaticism.

ANENT the condition of the crops in
North Dakota the Cavalier County
Courier has this to say: This is the all
important question now and all are try
ing to find out how we stand. Outside
Of this county, the reports are SO con-
ficting that it is hard to form any
estimate and the threshing will only
settle the question. In Cavalier county
we have nothing to complain OF al
though the past week has been some
what trying OH account of threatened
loss by frost. Good judges estimate
chat the damage by frost has been slight,
some fields may be affected, but what
frost we had was in streaks and not
general. The best fields so far have es.
capped. and as harvest is now we'll adj
vanced, the danger line may be said to
have been passed. The estimate given
last week by Messrs. O'Neale and Free
mire is considered little high, namely:
coo, 900 bushels Of wheat for Langdon
alone, FROM one-half to two-thirds of it
being No. I. and the balance of lower
grade. Other parts IF the county are
reported equally as good. so taking it as
a whole Cavalier will be the banner
wheat county of North Dakota for 1890.
Flax will be something that will swell
the farmers pockets this year, as 1T will
be fair yield, not having been cut
down by the worm as much as it was in
other places. Oats and barley are very
heavy and will be a full yield. The
quantity with the good prices that are
sure to prevail, should cause a feeling
of contentment. Taking it as whole
the farmer of Cavalier has much to be
thankful for, when compared with his
less fortunate neighbors Of other parts.

THE COAL BEDS NEAR LEAKsvILLE
From the L.aksuille Gazette.

.
In company with quartette OF
Leaksville gentlemen a Gazette re-
porter made his first visit. last Fri
day to the coal mines on the Wade
estate, about six miles from Leaks
vile, in the direction of Madison.
Before arriving at the coal beds
last Friday we noticed that the sur
face Indications for more than a mile
bear striking similarity to those
of the Pocahontas section, in Vir-
ginia 4
We spent some time in going from
one point to another, visiting at least
a half dozen places where in the most
primitive way, with pick and shovel,
coal had been taken from these de-
posts. The product has generally
been pronounced first-class for heat
ing purposes, yet from what we have
seen we are confident that the best
coal in these mines has never been
reached, and only such as is found
near the surface
About eleven years ago a mining
expert was sent to these deposits by
Pittsylvania company of gentle
men who owned some interest in
them. This expert dug a hole about
one hundred feet deep, when he found
what he confidently pronounced a
large vein or bed Of coal, excellent in
quality; hut as water accumulated
so fast in the bottom of the pit, and
the company would not furnish him
an engine for pumping purposes, he
was compelled to abandon the work
just when success was apparently as
sured. That pit isnow almost full of
water. - veE ea9aE s.t,a.ss
There is no mistake about the ex-
istence of coal on the Wade place.
If the surface product has proved to
be good fuel, the inference is that the
main and deeper imbedded veins
would be of superior quality. This
surface coal, taken out from ten to
thirty years ago and left exposed to
air, rain and sunshine ever. since, is
now regularly hauled to J. III. Hanip-
toms blacksmith FORCES and used for
fuel. $3.50 $50 y.pkh nara
But the vein or deposit does not
stop on the Wadeplace. The freshet
last year exposed a strata of appa-
rently fine coal on the ,Moir place,
about a mile from .Leaksville. This
vein is fifty feet wide, but owing to
location it's depth could not readily
be ascertained. That our section is
rich in coal there is not q particle of
doubt. We believe there is more
wealth under the ground in this Vi
entity than there is above it, and we
hope thorough Investigation will.
soon be made. The proposed Dam.
vile and East Tennessee railroad
survey runs directly through these
coal-beds 3rs.siz 3i- s1
