The principal of the Fargo public
schools lectured in Moorhead the
other day, and very foolishly and
unwarrantably criticized the Scandi-
navian children for their want of cul-
ture and manners, and referred to the
degraded foreign countries from
which they came. In reply to this
injustice, John c. Miller, in the Ar
gus, calls attention to the fact that,
according to the last United States
census, the percentage of Skandina-
vians in this country who can read
and write exceeds that of Americans
as follows: Norway 81 per cent,

During the past winter we have
had several debates on the woman
suffrage question, and many of our
ladies have said that they should
have the right offranchise. The late
Legislature fixed up the school law
so that the ladies can now vote, run
for superintendent of schools, school
director or member of the board oi
education. Now that they have been
granted this privilege we hope they
will get out and vote. Let us have
good vote in June on the school

The editor of the jamestown Cap
ital and the executive committee of
the Farmers Alliance cannot agree
and the Capital has ceased to be the
official organ. The Capital has been
a staunch advocate of the farming
element, but when the executive COM

icy and utterances of the paper, the
editor kicked and the paper is not
the official organ of the Alliance.
The Capital was all right, and the
headstrong executive committee ot

The Democrats have been contenting
themselves with the delusion that the Al
lance would draw most of its votes from
among the Republicans. Mr.. Owen the
Alliance candidate for governor, put a
quietus to this claim, when, upon being
asked from which party he thought he
would get the most votes, he said:
7sWell, that is rather hard question
to answer. The most enthusiastic
meeting that have held so far was at
St. Cloud, when citizens Of Stearns,
Benson and Morrison counties were
present. This section is considered
one of the Democratic strongholds of
the State. Still. from inquiries that /
have made, I think that the amount of
disafection in both parties is pretty
evenly divided, and that the support to
the Alliance ticket will be in equal
proportion.

And now, because Cush Davis is
speaking in the Interests of the Repub.
lican party, the St. Paul News, the AL
lance paper, believes that he should
not be reelected to the senate. When
the Alliance goes SO far as this, isn't it
about time for the Republicans to stand
together?
The silver bill, which was passed by
the Republicans of the last house, was
enc of the wisest financial measures
ever drafted IN this country. It in
creased the amount of money in circu-
lation and as natural consequence
will bring better times. When money is
plenty, prices on farm productions are
better, people are better able to buy.
money is easier to get, and prosperity
is more general. Facts bear these state
ments out, and, when you consider them,
remember it was Republican congress
that blessed the country with the bill,
We would advise the people not to
be deceived by the circulars that are
sent out by wholesale dealers to the
effect that prices on certain articles have
gone up enormously in consequence Of
the Mckinley bill. Such claims are all
election fakes. There is rise of course,
but it is not due TO the Mckinley BILL
The advance is made by parties who
want to prejudice the people against a
good measure. They viii go down
again after election. IF it isn't that, it
is scheme of the jebbers to get rid of
cid goods, by bowling that now is the
time to buy.
When Democrats come to you and
talk about the Mckinley bill as an afro
city and an outrage, just consider who
it is that is telling you these things.
Are the Democrats all angels Of purity,
that they should be believed in every
thing? Farmers, get copy of the bill
for yourself, read it carefully, compare
the relative number Of your own pro-
ducts that are protected to the number
of manufactured articles, and then ask
yourselves fairly if you are not pretty
well looked after. We don't ask you
to believe us. Take the bill and think
for yourselves. It is clear. It is easy
to understand, and it don't require a
Democratic glass to magnify it out Of
Ill proportion.

In another column will be found an
amendment to the constitution which is
to be voted upon at the next election.
It provides that in civil actions or pro-
ceedings the agreement of ten members
of the jury after six hours deliberation
may be sufficient to render verdict.
This, of course, is intended only for
civil cases and has nothing to do with
criminal trials, but before voting for
the charge, the people should think
long and well. It may be Of no great
moment, but this constant altering of
the constitution is dangerous business,
and, when it is considered that the PEG.
pie pay little attention to the amend
ments in a heated political campaign,
it is easy to believe that some day it
might lead to gross errors. The amend.
ment is the most important matter to
be voted on in the coming election, and
we repeat it, that, before voting to
make change in the accustomed trial
by jury, the people give it their sober
thought and consideration.

Roswell P. Flower, good Democrat
of New York, says that as a result Of
the reduction of the duty on binding
twlne as provided for by theMcKinley bill
factories in New York will not be able
to compete with the Irvine mills of
Europe and will either shut up shop or
cut down wages. This refutes the state
ment of the Democrats that the binding
Irvine reduction is of no moment to tie
western farmer, and also gives the lie
and through good Democrat TOTO
the claim that protection does not keep
up the wages of workingmen. In this
particular instance, the farmer is
benefited to the detriment of the eastern
laborer. Should we in the west then
kick if duties on some articles are raised
slightly to benefit the people of the
east? If all legislation was directed to
the aid and advantage of our particular
district, how long before the effects
would be felt over country at large?

Lord Coleridge, the CHIEF Justice Of

through this country in 1888:
.'It is not your colossal fortunes that
have interested me; I can see them at

to see and never shall see in my own
dear England, is what may be called
your upper and lower middle classes.

The Democrats laugh at the idea Of
putting acrons on the free list, but do
you ever hear them tell the farmers and
laborlng men how sugar has been adj
mitted free of duty? Do they ever speak
of the reduction on iron and manufac-
tured iron goods? Do they ever speak
of binding Irvine three cents lower than
proposed in the Democratic Mills bill
and jnte entirely free? Do they ever
tell you that most of the articles on
which the duty has been raised are ar
ticles that are used by those who can
well afford to pay for them? In short
do you ever hear them speak Of the
good features of the bill which are
largely in the majority and give them a
fair comparison with past Democratic
legislationp We guess not. It would
do them no good if they did.
