was vicious. unclean and rascally in Da-
| kota politics; but the crown jewel of all
its babblings appeared in its issue of
Saturday, to the effect that Chairman
La Moure had notified the Democratic
committee they would hear something
drop if they did not cease to advertise
tho the real truth as to these joint debates
to which Johnson had agreed, and that,
too, before the Republican committee
had made any engagements for
fact of all this matter, despite
the false, lying resolution of their COM
mlttee. Mr.. La Moure's threats, like
his other Old-time notions of campaign
ing, might have done years ago when he
worked them among his favorite half
breeds in Western Pembina and Cavalier
counties: but he probably is very well
aware that any threat of his would only
provoke mirth from the average Demo
crat. while any hurled at your Uncle
Daniel Maratta would very surely prove
to the Hon. Judson that they were dam
gerous things for statesman" of his
caliber to play with. The pious editor
of the Daily Blatherskite may possess
his soul in patience. 1t is well under
stood that the Republican committee
made Mr.. johnson cancel his arrange
ments with Mr.. Benton because they
were not willing he should make
such holy show of himself as he
had done, and no lies Or evasiOns from
committee or Argus will mislead any
one as to this naked fact; and the gen
tleman who is at the head of that COM
mittee will not try to change this belief
by threats, as he has already ascer-
tanned that no one believes what he says
about it. Apropos of all this we COM
mend to all the admirers of Mr.. john
from the Texas Enterprise:
One of the severest tests of an intelligent
audience is to sit and listen patiently ana
politely to the advice of ID fool.
In the tariff discussion which is the
overshadowing subject before the peo-
pie our Republican orators, very few of
whom have ever seen the Mckinley bill,
SEEM not to know that, with the single
exception of sugar, there is no single
necessary which is of daily use in all
families upon which there has not been
placed a higher duty, thus raising the
cost of them all to the consumer. For
example, wooden goods of all kinds, in
Guiding clothing, cotton goods, all rub
Der goods, cutlery, glassware, leather
manufactures, carpetings of all kinds,
blankets. fiannelS. all cloths and hum
dreds of the single articles produced
from the above fabrics which are part
of every consumers daily requirements
are advanced so that they will run from
Is to 25 per cent higher in cost after this
bill goes into effect. But ON the other
hand all these articles, with but very few
trif1ing exceptions, were lowered under
the Mills bill. And yet the Republican
state convention, even before this bill of
the majority was altered in the least,
made haste to indOrse it, while repre-
senting state of consumers with no
single manufacture of any size within
its borders. But then there was not
probably single delegate in the con
ventiOn who had ever seen copy of it,
or if he had, could have told the differ
ence between the duties it placed
on these articles and the duties
as they had been under the
old tariff. 1t is to be borne IN
mind that the Republican party of
North Dakota is on record as In favor of
duty of " cents per pound on the
Irvine used by the farmers of her prai-
ries, for that was the duty in the orig
inal bill as 1t passed the house, and it
had not been acted upon by the senate
at the time of their convention. The
Mills bill took off all the duty from
binding Irvine, and Republican senate
rejected the bill. The farmers of North
Dakota can readily see In whose hands
their interests have been best Subserved
If they will endeavOr to look for falSity
in anV of these statements
