WHENEVER few North Dakotans hap
pen to meet in st. Paul-and a few meet
there almost every day-the Pioneer
Press is thrown into commissions, COM
pared with which the "ghost dance" is
nowhere. Secret confabs are reported
every movement is looked upon with sus-
picion-a senator is being made or I'M
made, just as the condition of the report
er's brain may happen to be in-the mo.
tives of men are impugned-all sorts of
s%peculations are entertained and-the
ID to pay generally. OF late these
papers, in attempting to state what they
know, but in reality illustrating what
they do not know regarding the sena.
torial situation in North Dakota, have
taken occasion to charge seriously that
many of the leading republicans Of the
state-who for some reason or other,
best known to themselves, are not
in favor of Senator Pierce's re.
election-were, therefore, not good
republicans and we're %concocting some
diabolical scheme to break up the party
and put in a democrat. At last a Pioneer
Press reporter run down a couple OF
well-known North Dakotans, who, from
their long residence and prominence in
the state, will be excused for taking some
interest in such matters and two men
who have been most frequently assalled
by the Pioneer Press, and the following
is the result:
Alex Mckenzie said: II see that a rumor
has been published to the effect that in the
fight against Senator Pierce l will use my
influence to elect a democrat rather than
see Pierce successful. This is absolutely
false. l am a republican. I was working
for the interests Of the republican party in
North Dakota long before Pierce ever saw
the state, and l do not propose to turn
opposed to Mr.. Pierce or any other candi-
date for the senate. The senate is getting
uncomtortably close and it is no time to
allow fractional differences to operate
against the cleo ton Of a republican from
North Dakota. l am opposed to Senator
Pierce politically, and my opposition to
him is no secret, and l conduct it as an
OPOh AAoLC L OuNilJ L INV SCIhI
Pierce very much, but he and his friends
know that in this senatorial fight l am
with the field as against Pierce. This
ak in the newspapers about the danger Of
my friends proving treacherous and com
bining with the democrats is a story that
was started, in my opinion, for the purpose
of loosening up contributions to the fund
for necessary expenses during the coming
contest"
John Fl. Haggert says, with reference to
the senatorial situation, that since 1867 he
has been living in what is now North Da-
kota and working seven days a week for
the republican party, and he doesn't pro-
pose to switch off at this stage of the game
for the sake of defeating Senator Pierce.
at strikes me" says Mr.. Haggert, "that it
would be the proper thing for the rest Of
the country to keep its hands off from this
contest. North Dakota may be a little
young, but she can take care OF her own
senatorial affairs without the assistance of
states who have nothing in common with
u.s."

STRENUOUS efforts are being made by
the church people all over the United
States to prevent the opening Of the
Worlds Fair on Sundays. In the office
of the director-general there is a huge
pile of petitions with over one million
names. The great majority of people,
especially the working classes, will rebel
against such a proposition. Sunday is
The only day Of the week allotted to the
W~age-earners, and the gates of the great
exposition should be kept open Sundays
that the workman, who is human like
the rest of us, may enjoy seeing the
wonders brought from the four quarters
of the globe.

GOVERNOR BURKE will become a well
come resident of Bismarck about the Sd
of next month. He will occupy the Wat.
son mansion. His private secretary will
be Alex. Capehart, the well-known Fargo
newspaper correspondent and inventor
of the matrix type-setting machine,
which has developed into such a success
as will make it's owners independent for
life. Governor Burke is to be congratu-
lated on the excellence of his choice for
the responsible position of confidential
secretary.

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF IMM1GRA-
TON MAX Bass of South Dakota has
been to Chicago and has secured half
tariff rates On coal shipments to destitute
in his state. In the central counties of
South Dakota there seems to have been
a partial failure of crops, and that means
restitution to a large number of new set
tiers. When the country becomes older
it will be better able to stand failures
than now. The history of the Dakotas
is the history of all new countries.

NORTH DAKOTA does not mean to boast
or injure the feelings of her less fortunate
sister states, but it does want to declare
the fact to the world that while it is biz
zardy and disagreeable throughout the
east, with twenty inches of snow in some
localities, North Dakota still has beauti-
full and mild autumn-l1ke weather-not a
particle Of snow-streets being sprinkled
daily-farmers still plowing-not a
cloudy day at Bismarck this month and
only seven all-told in the last 80 days.

Col. ROBERT lNGERsoLL in speaking

Col. ROBERT lNaERsoLL in speaking
of Christmas said: II believe in holidays
that is to say, IN holy days-and by
holy days I mean happy ~days-days when
the tired may rest, when the working
la can have the company of his family
days in which to cultivate friendship
and the amenities of civilized life. I be-
live in what is called Christmas, not be-
cause of its supposed religious origin,
but because I think it we'll to have a
time when families can come together
and the ordinary business of life may be
suspended, and when we can think about
something besides trade and barter.
As a matter Of fact, the holiday known
as Christmas is far older than Christi
anity, and far older, I presume, than
any existing religion. It was in all
probability born of sun worship-the
most natural of all religions. Just be-
fore Christmas is the shortest day of
the year and the day when our savage
ancestors thought that the sun had been
overpowered, or conquered by the hosts
of darkness. Then, in spite of the pow
ers of the shadow, the days began to
lengthen, and the sun is victorious over
the Herod of the night And this festi-
val is as old, at least, as history, and
probably thousands of years older.
When we think that our ancestors
lived in caves and dens-or at least many
of them; when we imagine the winters
through which they passed, the cloud
and darkness and hunger-we can easily
see how they rejoice when the days be-
gun to lengthen, and with what feeling
of gladness they greeted the rising sur.
How their eyes cleaned; how their
hearts throbbed! Christmas was then
associated with the return of life. It
was the promise of another spring of
plenty, of sunshine and joy.
This day has been associated for
countless generations with the best
sentiments, with the best feelings of
the human heart; and no matter whether
it has been appropriated by some Pc
culiar form of superstition or not, there
is the same reason in nature for it's cele-
bration that there was before man ever
heard what is known as the scheme of
salvation. r.
I believe in every day that brings
families together-in every day and in
every institution that adds to the better
feelings, to the higher nature and to the
charitable instincts of the race.
I believe, also, that the world can now
keep another Christmas, or a Christmas
with a still higher significance. The old
Christmas was kept because the reign of
darkness was about to cease, because the
light had again conquered.
Let us hope that2in the history of the
human mind the light is at last the VIC
tor, that the darkness of ignorance is
passing away and that the real friends OF
humanity, the real friends Of freedom Of
thought, may now, at the close Of the

AN alleged Bismarck correspondent of
the Pioneer Press thinks it a shame that
a "city should defy a state" and now
comes a Yankton dispatch saying that,
following the action of the city council
in the passage of an ordinance licensing
saloons, the brewery is to be r%eopened.
The prohibition law in South Dakota is
more "iron clad" than the ukase in
North Dakota.

The republican senate must needs
proceed cautiously in what it does.
After next March the republican ma
jority will likely be but one, and should
any one of the republican senators from
the twenty states die, he would be imme.
diately succeeded by a democrat. The
next campaign and the election Of a
president promises to be the most inter-
esting for years.

To accommodate the large number of
persons all over the state who will have
business at the capital during the ses-

that two trains a day run between Bis
marck and Fargo. Why not continue
the Jamestown accommodation on to
Bismarck during the winter? That will
give a morning train from the east and
an evening train going to Fargo.
