Grant Parish ON the Lottery.
At the request Of . large number
Of the citizens of this parish, back
ed up by the unanimous sentiment
of the Union Farmers Of Grant,
who represent fully four-6fths of
onr entire hill region, a delegation
composed Of e. g. Randolph, A.
A. Dean. G. C. Nash, H. G. Good
wyn. J. 81. McNeely, c. A. Wick
li6e and G. b. Mcknight visited
Baton Rouge. and remained over
last Monday and Tuesday, to rep
resent to our Senator and Repre-
sentative the strong and almost
unanimous sentiment of our peo-
pie in opposition to the extension
of the lottery charter. They found
Senator ]. B. Boatner and Repre-
sentative G. G. Dunn holding to
the position that this matter should
be referred to q vote of all the peo-
pie. in spite of the provisions Of
the State Constitution on the sub
ject and the urgent demands of
their constituents for them to op-
pose the scheme to re-charter the
lottery. No argument, pleading,
or remonstrance could affect them,
and they declined altogether to be
swerved from their purpose. They
claim to be honest and sincere in
their convictions, and insist that
with the lights before them they
have the right to disregard all pro-
tests to the contrary, being in posi-
ton to know better what is to the
general welfare and good of the
people than do those opposing the
lottery. They also declined to
accept the statement that the ma
jority of their constituents were
to the lottery, and, while
the committee were listened to with
respect and courtesy, they had
no hesitancy in stating positively
that they intended to support the
bill for re-chartering the lottery
for twenty-five years.
While the delegation felt de-
pressed and disappointed to learn
Of the unsatifactory position
Of Messrs. Boatner and Dunn
On the lottery question, they we're
eorrespondingly pleased to learn
from gentlemen thoroughly posted
on the situation that there was no
doubt of the anti-lottery men being
able to defeat the bill to extend the
lottery charter. In order to pass
their bill in the House the lot
teryites will have to secure 66 votes,
but thus far they have only 49.
If by chance they were to get it
through the House, the bill viii
still meet defeat in the Senate, |
which is regarded as even more

UNFAIR JOURNALISM.

Some weeks ago the Silver State
accused MIR. Bartine Of voting for
Reed.
The Eureka Sentinel, Exc Inde-
pendent and other Democratic pa
pers took up the cry, knowing
perfectly well that Mr.. Bartine
voted against Reed in the caucus,
and Only voted for him when bound
to do so by long established caucus
usage.
Had Mr.. Barline's choice, Hen
dersen a silver man, carried the
caucns vote, the gold bug represen-
tstives and the supporters of Reed
would have been obligated to vote
for him and would nave done so.
When the fallacy OF the attack
on Bartine was exposed by The AP
PEAL, the Times Review, edited by
leading democrat, with q fairness
and candor always a conspicuous
feature of that journal, acknowl-
edged that Bartine took the honor
able course and did not blame
him.
The Times-Review happens to be
edited by Major Dennis politician
who is acquainted with the ethics
OF political procedure.
The Virginia Chronicle did not
attack Bartine; it had too muck
sense.
Tie Silver State and Indepen-
dent are still harp;ng on the same
charges, but in some what lower
key.
No one however. cid enough to |
vote, has been deceived.

Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1890-01-31

The reverses and subsequent hard
ships Of the past year will prove a
blessing in disguise to our people.
Merchants will be more cautious in
buying and selling; machinery men
will not try to supply the earth in
one season; farmers will realize that
they cannot buy all Of Uncle Sans
domain with single crop; they will
not buy extra machinery and stock
without a reasonable prospect for
paying for it; they will diversity
their fm ming, and above all they
will realize the necessity of deep
blowing and proper cultivation of
the soil. May this year be the open
ing Of a new era Of zeal and perma-
nent prosperity in Dakota farming.
NORTH DAKOTA MARRIAGE LAWS.
The House at Bismarck this week
has been considering the passage Of
laws relating to marriage in our new
state, and the granting Of licenses.
Bill No. 81 provides that males over
IS and females over Is years may
consent to marry. Mr.. Cole moved
to amend by making the age Of con-
sent 18 in males and 13 in females.
Why not put it Z or 8, providing the
consent of the nurse is obtainedp
Mr.. Coles intention was good, and
said the reason he moved the amend
ment was because he wanted every
child born in North Dakota to be a
legitimate child. 1t would seem bet.
ter to strengthen the law in regard
to seducers and make it nothing less
than a penitentiary offense. Mr..
Allen moved that unordained minis
ters who have church may be al
lowed to perform the marriage cers-
mony, and remarked that ordained
ministers wanted monopoly. There
is now too much laxity in regard to
the performance Of the marriage
ceremony, and it would not be bad
law that would require the publica-
tion Of the engagement at least two
weeks before the marriage. Whera
the children were under lawful age
the consent Of the parents or guar
dsins should be an imperative re-
quirement.

ing it rem ember that the enterpris-
ing firm Of Sawyer & Arnold are
also doing business in Oakes:
AS break in the monotony, please
note that Mr., Almon Smith, agent
for Sawyer & Arnold, lumber and
coal dealers, has sold in the past
week 400 tons Of Hooking Valley
coal at $3.50 per ton cash. Fuller
ton has looked like Dakota town
in the booming days, This is the
outgrowth of the offer of the Mani
toba, through the solicitations of
the county commissioners, to ship
coal in free Of freight. Arnold g.
Sawyer goes them one better and in
structs Mr.. Smith to say "that this
deduction has nothing to do with
county commissioners, poormastcrs
or board Of charity, but that it's for
any one, rich or poor, who has a
mind to buy" and the way Smith
has supplemented their efforts in
spreading the news and rushing out
the coal is a caution. He's the
''rustler from Belgrade" Teams
have been in from radius Of Is
miles. Seven cars more On the way
here. Good, l say, for Sawyer &
Arnold. 1t means cash saving of
from $1,000 toS9,oOo to the people
Of this vicinity, and no demeaning
of spirit or self respect to anyone.
