Fine Prospects for Victory.

lett most favorable impression upon
the minds of the people present, and it
is now thought that the black Republic
can town of ind La Moure will cast
more Democratic votes than ever be-
fure. There seems to be more independ-
ence of action than in the past, and it
is evident that the stronghold Of the
Republican bosses upun the votes of
this city and township will for the first
time be weakened during this cam
paign. An increased Democratic vote
i'll this district is now assured. State
Committeeman F. d. Harrison and
workers are doing active work for the
Democratic cause in this county, and
prospect of Democratic victory is very
bright.

wing is deserted. Why should we not
have capitol worthy the young and
vigorous state of North Dakota? We
have nothing to lose by deserving the
old expensive concern. We have plenty
tn build new and handsome building
which would Top off all the $4,000 a
year unnecessary expense now con-
nected with this old institution.
Who can give any sound reason
why the old building should no
be deserted2 There are thousands of
reasons why we should have a new
building ana new location. For in
stance: In order to get to Bismarck you
have to go through Grafton, Grand
Forks, Fargo or Wahpeton, as these
points are all railroad centers as well as
centers of wealth and population and
commercial activity; while over in the
Bismarck country, as johnson says,
There is nobody lives and the dogs
bark at the strangers" There are
dozen enterprising and active little
cities in the Red liver valley that have
better natural and better railroad facili-
ties than Bismarck. If one has an
hours business in Bismarck it takes
MN two days to transact it and get out
out OF towu. They have but one train
Gay each way, and it is impossible to
get out of the town the same day you
yet into it. Bismarck can never hope
to be
Railroad Center
this side of the millennium, while there
are five or six cities i'm the Red river
valley that have from four to eight
trains day each way. The real center
of state, in these days of modern COM
mercial activity, is the railroad center
not the geographical center. So far as
nil IN, fI,n lat51 e
state is concerned, Bismarck is the
hardest point in the state to reach, and
the Red river valley is compelled. not
only to supply the money for the rat
hole in the state treasury. but her in
dlvldual citizens are compelled yearly 10
give up large sums of money to the rail-
roads for transportation around the
globe in order to transact little bust
DeSs at the state capital.
The six countit s of the Red river
valley-Traill, Cass, Grand Forks,
Walsh, Pembina and Richland-raise in
the aggregate about 25,O00.O00 bu shells
of wheat eacn year. In round numbers,
theil population is 122,0O0. This gives
1874 bushels of wheat to every man,
woman aud child in the valley. 1t
takes eight bushels of wheat ground
into flour to last each person year.
This leaves surplus of 1876 bushels of
the per capita apportionment of wheat
raised in the valley to be shipped out to
support the individuals and institutions
OF the state outside the valley-and to
supply the drain of the capital rathole!
The question arises again whether
the Red river valley is entitled to any
consideration in the state. 1t is natural
for the six counties to inquire if they
are worthy of even small favor at the
+ hands of the state they support. The
American people do not believe in. nor
will they submit to, taxation without
representation. Come, Bismarck, loosen
up! We want a senator OF capitol.
Which will you give US?

AGREE TO DISAGREE.
Prison Reformers Discuss the
Methods OF Reforming Crimi-

Methods OF Reforming Crimi-
mails.
Yesterday was prison Sunday, and, in
accordance with the annual custom,
reference was made to prison reform in
many of the churches.
Special speakers had been secured to
discuss the subject last evening in the
Peoples church. They were ex-Gov.
McGill, Labor Commissioner Lamb and
Prison Manager John f. Norrish. All
speakers expressed different views as to
how prison reform could be accom-
plished. Mr.. McGill was outspoken in
his pronunciation of contract labor
In prisons. We need not go to
Siberia for examples of cruelty in the
treatment of prisoners. We could find
much cruelty in the management Of
Some of the prisons of this country.
Contract labor, particularly as it was
practiced in Southern prisons, was de-
grading. 1t was bad enough in this
state. The contractors who took these
prisoners merely looked at them from
Dne point: How much they. could make
put of them. Slavery was hundred
times better and kinder. He urged the
abolition Of the contract system of en-
plOying prisoners. Prison labor should
not be brought into contact with free
labor; and one reason for the abolition
Of the contract system was that it stood
In the pathway of prison reform.
Labor Commissioner Lamb devoted
his remarks to statistics showing how
contract prison labor interfeled with
free labor. A solution of the problem
could only be found by men of business;
not politicians or agitators.
Hon. j. f. Norrsh, as n prison man.
ager, expressed himself fUrcibly on the
side of employing prisoners under the
contract system. Why should man, be-
cause lie has offended the law against
property and person, be exempt from
earning just portion towards the cost
of his maintenance. The only question
that came up i'll his mind was how that
labor should be conducted. Mr.. Nor
IRISH intimated that important prison
labor laws were to come up before the
next legislature. He also urged the Gre
alton of board of pardons.
DR.. 5. G. Smith, as pastor of the
Peoples, naturally wound up the
speeches. He did not agree with any of
the speakers, and gave the prison board
rub by saying that the law of 1887 was
never properly worked. There had
been a persistent endeavor to nullify
the law. DR.. Smith did not believe in
contract labor: he did not believe in
prison labor beng allowed to. compete
with free labor, but he was willing that
some labor should i've allowed convicts
for reformatory purposes.

VOTE IN FORMER YEARS.
A Sturgeon With a Chain.

Astoria (Orl Historian.
Capt. Dillon, of the steamer Fisher,
on June 80 brought up sturgeon which
had been caught in the last trap at the
mouth of the Columbia, almost at the
ocean. The popularity about the fish
is that there was attached to him
chain nearly five feet long, about the
size of halter chain. He had been
caught before, and on the under side of
his mouth hole had been cut. Through
this the chain had been passed, and
through Il ring on the side of the chain,
thus forming bow-knot or loop around
his under lip. Then he had evidently
been fastened TO pole or stake with
rope attached to the end of the chain.
After the rope broke the fish was at
liberty to leave. The sturgeon was
quite poor, and oiie of his fins was par
TALLY worn off by the rubbing of the
chain, showing that he had Travelled
with it long time.

Eight Hundred Murders a Year.

GiccCriCti heVleW.
In Texas we have about 800 murders
committed yearly. Under this mis-
cbievous sympathy we hardly ever find
a jury that has the manhood and the
courage to pass the sentence of death
on criminal that may have murdered
one of his felloW-beings in the most
shocking manner. They not only turn
loose dangerous man on society. but
he may afterward be lionized for the
very crime he committed. TO show to
what dangerous extent this is carried
out. have only to refer to the city of
Austin.
Several years ago there was ruffian
that was the terror of the place. after
killing about dozen men. 1t appears
from the fact that he had such farmi-
dable record that he was elected by the
people as marshal of the city. And it
is said he made very good marshal, for
every tough knew how to respect him.
In the same town a violent, disagree
able man murdered harmless German
in cold blood; of course. after some
time he was acquitted. Yet this very
murderer afterward was elected mayor
Of the city.

ut surprises me to see young man
like you here" said Texas Judge to a
fellow who had been brought before
the police court for being drunk and
disorderly the night before. "You
filled yourself with an enemy that COM
mitted petit larceny on your brains"
Every sorry, Judge"
"Now, here you are" continued the
Court, in severe tones, "a young man
of intelligence, with good clothes on,
barring a grease spot on the elbow
where you rested it in the lunch table
soup. You doubtless have a mother
and sisters who think good deal more
of you than [ do"
"Family's all ri-right," whimpered
the culprit.
you've been sent to school and
taught how to earn good living. In
return for all this you go whooping
around the streets at midnight, tearing
down signs and making an ass of your
self generally. Is that like the con-
duct of a reasonable creature?"
"No, Judge, it is not"
cot course it amt. Now I'm going
to teach you lesson, young man, and
you will thank me for it some day.
You needn't turn pale and whimper;
that won't do you any good. Have you

An Odd Proposition.

One of the oldest contributions to
the really large body of literature
called forth by the Servant question"
is the proposal of Mrs. Frances Oar
win in an English magazine that SER
want girl when applying for situation
should have the same right to ask for
references from the mistress that the
mistress has to ask them from the SER
want. For the purpose of meeting this
legitimate demand she suggests that
each mistress should name two referees
among her former servants who have
lived with her within year. This as
sIpfnes a judicial mindedness and power
of expression on the part of servant
girls which they hardly ever possess,
and it assumes also that the servant
girls do not already act as references
about mistresses for each other. The
truth is that nearly every employers
character, as an employer, is pretty
we'll known to all the servant girls in
the neighborhood. They describe the
ways of the people they live with to
one another at their Sunday evening
conventicles with a minuteness and
prolixity which leaves nothing to be de-
sired in the way of information about
temper, habits, kind and amount of
work. It would be a waste of labor
for any housekeeper to appoint stand
ing referees, because their judgment
would either be superfuous or inef-
fective, and would besides this be
highly colored by the reasons of the
referee for leaving or staying In the
house

Indians Porcupine learned that Christ
had appeared upon earth again and had
sent for him, thus explaining why he
unconsciousIy had started on his jour
ney. The Great Father was said to be
with Christ, and eleven of the latter's
sons were also there.
At great pow-wow the Great Father
sent word to Porcupine, through the
sons of the chief, that in the course of
fourteen days he would visit them.
Then followed a most remarkable
scene, in which the hand of the Mormon
hierarchy is apparent. Two days they
waited in expectation. At the end of
that time a vast cOncOurSe of Indians
was assembled. A place near the agency
was cleared in the form of q great ring,
into which they all entered.
The sun was just setting. It was a
cold afternoon in November, and any
one who is familiar with the West can
imagine the scene. The snOW-capped
peaks Of the Sierra Nevadas rose to the
west, tinted pink and gold with the
glory of the western sunset, the dark
pines around their bases mirrored in the
still darker waters of the lake, the vast
assemblage of Indians, clothed in brill
ant blankets, the blue smoke of the fires
rising among the tepees, straight up, up,
up into the cold gray vault above. The
silence is scarcely broken. The Indians
are sitting around smoking their pipes
and saying nothing.
Just as the veil of darkness began to
spread itself over the pine trees in the
valley, while yet the light Shone upon
the mountains, large body of men,
dressed in the garb of civilization, ar

again to life. Wild horses will be ready
for their use, and the millennium will
have dawned.
This climbing out through the earth is
sort of purgatory through which the
Indians will have to go in order that
they may be purified from every con-
terminating stain left by the white race.
Pain, tribulation and trouble will be en-
countered, but strength will be given
them to overcome the obstacles.
WHAT THE GHOST DANCE is LIKE.
In preparing for the dance the Indians
cut the tallest tree that they can find,
and, having dragged it to level piece of
prairie, set it up in the ground. Under
this tree four of the head men stand.
Others form in circle and begin to go
around and around the tree. The begin
the dance Friday afternoon. 1t is kept
up Saturday and Sunday until shutdown.
During all this time they do not eat or
drink. They keep going round in one
direction until they become so dizzy that
they can scarcely stand, then turn and
go in the other direction and keep it up
till they swoon from exhaustion. This
is what they strive to do, for while they
are in swoon they think they see and
talk with the new Christ. When they
regain consciousness they tell their ex-
periences to the four wise men under
the tree. All heir tales end with the
same story about the two mountains that
are to belch forth mud and bury the
white men and the return of good In
dian times.
They lose all their senses in the dance.
They think they are animals. Some get
down on all tours and bob about like
buffalo. When they can not lose their
senses from exhaustion they butt their
heads together, beat them on the ground,
and do anything to become insensible, so
that they may be ushered into the pres
ence of the new Christ. One poor Indi
an, when he recovered his senses, said
that Christ had told him he must return
to earth because he had net brought with
him his wife and child. His child had died
two years before, and the way the poor
fellow cried was most heartrending. At
the end of the dance they had a grand
feast, the revel lasting all Sunday night.
They kill several steers and eat them raw
and drink and gorge themselves to make
up for their fast. Every Indian has about
four war clubs made out of round stones
twisted in rawhide. They throw these
around during the dance, strew the
ground with them. and beat their heads
against them.
