The finger Of destiny seems to be
pointing to John H. McDermott as
the coming sheriff of Griggs county
and it cannot point to better and
more efficient man. The bitterest
enemy it would be possible for him to
have, could not bring a charge against
him that could be substantated.
The only charge brought against him
is that he is town dude. Voters, is
not this a silly statement to make.
How long will it be,if Mr.. Greenland
is elected before he is "a town dude.
The sheriff has got to reside at the
county seat. Such campaign thunder
as the statement that because a man
lives in town he is a dude, is ridicu.
lous. We claim that Mr.. McDer-
motifs business qualifications, his ex-
perience as deputy sheriff, makes
him the fttest man for the Office Of
sheriff, and in his behalf we ask the
votes Of the citizens of Griggs county

Notice the supreme gall ofMcCul-
loch: IL have been forced against
the wish of myself and family by
prominent republicans and demo-
Gratis, to enter the political field and
shall have nearly the solid vote of
Griggs county" Egotism and self
esteem sticks out in every word he
utters. Forced into the political
field, forsooth. Everybody smile.
He has always been a chronic office
seeker, and instead of democrats
urging him to run, he begged and
begged hard for nomination in the
democratic convention. In regard
to the prominent republicans. There
are just three men who constitute the
prominent republicans-and they
got soured on Bartlett because he
beat Balkan in the legislative eau
Gus. That's his republican backing.
Rats! Such braggadocio makes us
sick. Farmers, will you vote for a
man who thinks he carries your vote
around in his vest pocket. No!
Vote for the regular nominee on the
republican ticket, David Bartlett.

81. PER ANU :

method Of electioneering is simply
ridiculous and is only scheme ON
part to draw wool
not taxed-over the eyes of his
brother farmers. We quote a sem
tence. In speaking of some state
ments made in the article he answers
by using the following choice Lam
guage: "The above is as false as tho
sneaking coward who hides behind
The eeitor." For Mr.. McCulloch's
benefit the editor desires to state that
he is the sneaking coward who wrote
the article and not Mr.. Bartlett. M.
Bartlett never dictated one word thai
went into the Courier, and the editor
is not only capable of writing simi-.
lar article but is also willing to back
up what he does write. MIR. Me-
Culloch's answer is only a SANDER
Gus attack on gentleman who has
never used any unfair means against
him during this campaign, and it
\ certainly shows desire on Noes
part to hoodwink the rermers and
make votes for himself while he
tries to show up David Bartlett un-,
der false light. The voters Of thix
district iepudiated McCulloch two
years ago, and unless all signs fail
they will do SO again next tuesday,
We desire to give everybody show
but must respectfully decline to pub
lish such mess of venom as that re-
ceived through the mail last satur-
day. Bear tins in mind: The edi-.
tor wrote the article last week. also
this one.

In every exchange that comes to
this office nearly every one urges the
voters to vote against increasing the
jurisdiction of the county court.
Why is it thusly? Because by vot-
ing for it you will be putting more
taxes on yourselves. What with our
justice courts and two terms of the
district court, what business we have
can easily be transacted. Vote
against increasing the jurisdiction of
the county court and keep down your
taxes. Don't listen to any sugared
arguments in its favor-those that
want it increased are doug so in
their own interests, not for the tax
payers. Vote it down.

paign to help him get elected treas
urer. MIR. Enger is making square,
honest fight, and if any whiskey is
being used it is by the opposition
and not by Mr.. Enger. Voters OF
Griggs county, if you want to vote
for your best interests, vote for An
ton Enger for treasurer and show by
your ballots that such malicious
falschoods are not to be tolerated by
intelligent men.

Mr.. Jacobson says the COURIER
made him hundred votes last week.
He further says he is sure of a re-
election. He has said this often.
In the face of this plain statement it
is almost useless for the COURIER to
ask you to support Mr.. Carleton,
the choice Of the convention, against
Mr.. Jacobson, who says che believes
himself to be the choice of a major
ity of the voters of Griggs county"
Nevertheless, we propose to stand by
Mr.. Carleton against these great odds
and ask the farmers to CO.
operate with us in electing him to
the Office Of states attorney. By
your votes in caucus and convention
you have declared yourselves for
Will H. Carleton. Will you back
out on election day? We think not.
Then farmers and voters, stand by
your guns and when you desire to
discharge them on election day, send
into the ballot boxes such shower of
votes for Will H. Carleton that will
elect him by a handsome majority.
Vote for Will H. Carleton for states
attorney.

Gov. Miller, in beginning his
speech at the courthouse, the other
night, spoke in the following com
plimentary manner Of David
Bartlett, the republican candidate for
the legislature: ~ have not only
esteemed it a pleasure, but an honor
to have associated with me, in the
administration Of the government,
for the last year, one of your worthy
fellow-citizens, and assure you his

Word comes from Steele county

Here is another nut for the farmers
to crack. Why did Senator Robin
son and Hon. John Flittie visit Coop

somebody to run against Bartlett be-
cause they could not handle him
and that independent candidate was
announced in the Mayville Tribune
before he was in Cooperstown.

1t is Of great Importance to our
people that the defects in the railroad
rslation ot Moth Dakota should be
remedled. Our laws in regard to the
power of the state to regulate or con-
troll these great highways of communi-
cation have been rendered practically
useless by an adverse decision Of the,
u. S. supreme court. The defects in
dlcated by this decision. must be rem
edied. Each and every man in North
Dakota, be lie farmer or merchant. has
q direct pecuDiary interest this 'n.t-5
ter. AS we all know, the changes need
ed to make our railroad laws effective
must he made by the legislature. We
also know that an intelligent know
ledge of what is needed must precede
intelligent action. The time during
which legislation. must be finished, for
two years to come, Is limited to GO dayx
and it is manifest to all that the man
who is well equipped by study and ex-
perisnce, for this paIticuIar worlz has
great advantage over one who has still
to learn whist is needed. and how to put
his knowledge into shape to stand ju-
dical scouting. Now in this legislative
district we find that quite number OF
gentlemen are candidates for the legis-
lature. wish to cast no reflections ON

any man that one should be better

changes in our railroad laws. Now.

brother farmers that, from my kn w

ABOUT INCREASING
TIIE JURISDICTION

Had our county any need for such
a court, we should favor it, but we
don't need it and cannot afford it,
any more than farmer. does eight
wheels for a wagon, or, gold plated
trimmings on farm harness. From
all such new tangled, silk-stocking
fads as unlimited expense in our
county court, good Lord deliver us!
What the people, who pay the taxes,
want is less public expense; a reduc-
ton of taxes, not an increase. The
idea Of converting a court into col.
lection shop is un-American. AS a
travelling collector puts it: CHOW it
takes six months to sue farmers
note, but if we can work this new
racket, we can bang it to, these old
clod-hoppers three weeks in month
all the year round" Let. farmers
beware and not give these money
sharks another chance to squeeze
them. Let well enough alone. We
have ali the courts we want. They
too expensive for every day use, and
the less we are in court the more

WHEN Mr. Gladstone rose not long
since in the house of commons and spoke
in favor of the disestablishment of the
Scotch church he was the grand embodi-
ment of the truth that wise man profits
by his past mistakes and does not think
that he descends from any height be-
cause that by such change of opinion he
may be considered inconsistent. About
forty years ago Mr.. Gladstone wrote in
favor of an an indlssoluble union of
church and state for which he was Bit
terly criticised by Macauley, but the en-
suing forty years have taught the lesson
then unlearned that church and state are
of right separate and that each is
stronger by separation than in union.

THERE can be no difference OF opinion
as to the existence OF greater demand for

for the education of the masses Hordes
of illiterate emigrants are pouring into
the country, swelling the ranks of voters
and too often those of crime. In a ooun-
try where suffrage is SO easily obtained
there is threatened dangers in the fact
that illiteracy may, ere long, hold the
balance and sway it at Its will Indeed,
so nesr seems this danger that already
in some states steps are now being taken
to alter their constitutions in such a way
that there shall be an educational qusli-
