well acquainted with each other. The
cities os Pierre and Huron are each max

tion of the state capital, and the following
is the style in which the editors of those
places "swipe" each other:
Pierre Capital: The editor of the Hu-
ronite was formerly member of the Jesse
James band, and was kicked out of that
sYdicate for being dishonest and cowardly.
He is thief among thieves.
Huron Huronite: The poor, miserable
scoundrel who is getting out handbill

gagged in herding sheep in Montana, but
was tarred and feathered and driven out
of that state by the vigilantes for stealing
chickens from a neighbor. Oh, we know

Total number of delegates. ....... 19
By ORDER OF COMMITTEE.

Il is conceded by the majority of repub-
ican voters in this county that Mclean
county is entitled to the legislator in the
lower house. From facts obtainable we
learn that John Satterlund will be their
choice. Mr.. Satterlund was one of the
first settlers in that county, and is liberal,
broad-viewed man, full of pluck and pub
lie enterprise. He is worker and will
make model legislator.-Minot Journal.
The Journal never uttered sentiment
more truthful than that scontained in the
above paragraph. If the people of Ward
county will prove true to their interests, and
not only "concede" the clfim to Mclean
county, but labor to establish and main
tain that claim this fall, this legislative dis
trict will be represented by as jealous and
as strong worker as the state can pro-
duce. Mr.. Satterlund will undoubtedly be
the gentleman whose nomination for leg
islative honors the voters of this county
will demand-which fact we believe will
be demonstrated next Monday by the
choice Of solid delegation in his favor 70
the Legislative district convention. And
while We are speaking Of probable legisla-
tive candidates, the LEADER will take this
opportunity Of saying that Mr.. James
johnson Of Minot will make an available
arunning mate" with Mr.. satterlund.
! Ward county has no man in whose hands
they can more safely trust their local in
terests, with the full reliance Of faithful
ness on every oocasion, than James john
son. He Is man who viii prove true TO
his friends every time, stand firmly by
what he thinks is right, and will generally
be found working on the right side Of ev-
cry question Of public oonoern. We corr
tainly hope TO see Jim get there.

Living ON His Wig.

A we'll known sporting man was telling a
group of friends recently, says the New
York Tribune of the strange people he had
encountered late Mt night in the streets,
when the ordinary routine of life seems to
be reversed.
1.-The strangest of them ALL" said he,
twas little Billy Sprague. Billy was the
funniest little chap you ever saw. He
weighed not less than 200 pounds, although
he was scarcely five feet high. Literally he
was almost as broad as he was long. His
face certainly was wider than its length.
The most singular effect was caused by the
fact that Billy had not a single wisp of
hair on either his head or faoc-not even an
eyelash or eyebrow. He was awfully ssnsi-
tive about his not having any hair, but
couldn't seem to get used to wearing wig.
His pate WAS like an exaggerated billiard
ball, and Billy used to say the wig made
him want to scratch it all the time.
when he was about % years old Billy
fell in love with pretty girl who worked
in big candy store in Sixth avenue, and he
set out to win her. He went to the hes,
wig-maker in town and had fine brown.
curly wig made. 1t cost a heap of money.
but Billy would have it. He paid diligent
court to the girl. who toyed With him
awhile and then sent him about his bust
ness. Billy took it sorely TO heart and be-
gan to drink heavily. In short time he
had spent about all his money. and lost his
situation, and was very much Of loafer.
The only valuable thing he had left was his
wig. Finally he could not get along with
ont his liquor. and liquor he could not get
without money.
"One night Billy started Q beautiful
scheme for getting all the rum be wanted.
Going into q saloon he confidentially told

THE ENEMIES OF SILVER.

The silver men who are watching the
course of legislation at Washington are
fully convinced that the vaccillation
and lack of courage Oh the part Of con-
rressmen from the west are due to tho
pronounced hostility of the president to
free coinage Gen. Warner, of Ohio,
president of the executive committee Of
the national silver convention, stated to
Denver News correspondent that the
free coinage republicans were terrorized
by the threat of the president to veto
any free coinage bill and feared to
jeopardlze all by taking the risk of the
veto. "I do not believe the president
would dare veto free coinage bill in
the face of the pronounced sentiment of
the country in it's favor said General
Warner, "and the republican free coin
age men have been stampeded by a
mere scare. 1t is possible that free
coinage bill could be passed by a two
thirds vote over the veto, because there
are lots of republicans who would like
to give the administration black eye
on the question if they were afforded an
opportunity, and thus strengthen them
selves at home for the coming cleo
TONS" A republican senator from the
extreme northwest, commenting on the
action of his party colleagues in the
house, said that he could not vote for
any silver bill that contained q
bullion redemption clause. Rather than
do that he would prefer that the bill
should fail. But with Reed in the
speakers chair and Harrison in the
white house the advocates of free coin
age might as we'll give up the struggle
All they can do is to get direct vote on
the free coinage proposition and then
take an appeal to the people at the fall
elections. We are ready for the ques
ton. Here in Montana we propose te
settle in short order with the man who
voted for Thopas B. Reed, who, in tn
language OF the Salt Lake Tribune
Showed the cloven hoof of Wall street
without disguise to the infinite DISCUS
of the western members and the gleefu
delight of the gold bugs"

CHANGE AT HARVARD.

Subject to the decision of the over
seers, the educational program hitherto
in force at Harvard is on the eve of
radical change. 1t is proposed to reduce
the necessary four years of attendance
to three. The proposition has, indeed,
passed both the faculty and the acade-
mic council and, as we have said, awaits
only the concurrence of the overseers to
become actual fact. 1t was not to be
expected, however, that in both acade-
mic bodies the proposed reduction
should receive unanimous support. $50
many men, SO many opinions" is as true
day as when the idea to be conveyed
was first formulated in it's current
shape. Whilst a majority Of the pro-
fessors, headed by President Eliot,
whose practical success as an educator
lends to his opinion great weight, are OF
the belief that the change is for the
best, there are others who entertain
serious doubts as to the measure being
"a beneficial one and by their votes en-
dorsed their hesitation. Naturally, with
the alumni of the university, it is at
present the one absorbing topic Of inter
est. They have discussed the proposal
individually and officially and there can
not be said to be any general concensus
of opinion.
In considering from the standpoint Of
an outsider the ACCESSIBILITY Of the pro-
posed change, it does not seem neces-
sary to devote much consideration t.
the argument advanced in it's support
by one of the professors that the meas
ure would tend to make the American
more like the European colleges. While
it is quite true that similar educationa
institutions in the old world can claim
advantage in the shape Of longer age
and wider experience than our own, i
does not follow as necessary conse
quence that the conditions which sur
round their university training are sim
liar to those We have to consider in thi
country. As an actual fact they are il
some respects decidedly different, AM
action dependent upon them must con
sequently differ. The academic cours
which they have found most sultabl
and desirable may not be the one bes
fitted for us with our different SUI
roundings. Besides, it has always beel
source of pride TO this country tina
wehave never hesitated to lift ourselve
out of the grooves and ruts Of estat
lished custom, and that we have Away
been found prepared and willing t

A LESSON IN SELF RELIANCE.

Mr.. Depew's Story of Commodore Wander
bilt and Young Jim Kutter.
Mr.. Depew told me an anecdote. good
many years ago young freight clerk was
employed at one of the country stations on
the Erie railroad. He was q farmers boy.
who had nothing but common school edu-
cation, but was regarded as pretty bright
chap. He indicated this youthful reputa-
ton by his management of the little freight
business to which he had to attend, and
was soon transferred to more important
place near Buffalo. There he began to re-
veal the genius that was in him by suggest
ing certain new methods of dealing with
freight, and there he came under the eye of
Commodore Vanderbilt.
Some time later, after the consolidation
OF the Hudson River and New York Central
railroads, the old commodore desired to get
man to take charge of the freight bust
ness and thought Of this young man. He
sent for him and offered him salary Of
$4,000 year to assume the duties of
master of freight transportation. The clerk
was rosy-cheeked, yellow haired young
man, who at once accepted the offer, with
such confidence in his abilities to please
the old commodore, who hated a man who
had no self-confdence. Not long after he
took charge very complicated and difficult
problem in freight transportation arose. It
puzzled the young fellow SO that he could
not sleep nights. II he made mistake he
felt that it would be fatal to his reputation,
probably to his career, while if he succeeded
he would simply accomplish what he had
been hired to do. At last, in his anxiety,
he ventured to call upon the old commo-
dore, stated the difficulty to him, and asked
advice. The old man looked at him a
moment and then said:
"Jim, what does the Central hire you
| for?''
ITO take charge of the transportation"
"Well do you expect I am going to earn
| your salary for your"
That was all the commodore said, and
the young man turned on his heel and left
| him. He went out and acted on
his own Judgment acted with un-
erring foresight, and was soon pro-
NOTED to the yice-presidency. Later
on he succeeded William II. Wander
bilt as president Of the New York Central
system. That was the career of Jim Rut-
ter, Mr.. Depew said, and he characterized
Rutter as one of the greatest railroad
geniuses that the age of railroading has
produced. Rutter killed himself in the ser
vices of the Central by overwork, a habit
which MIR. Depew neither encouraged by his
own example nor favors in any of his own
employees. Philadelphia Press.

who Was the Liar.

Six or eight men were grouped on Park
street the other day. says the Detroit Free
Press, discussing natural gas, when two of
them got into dispute as to the size of a
certain pipe. They were good -natured
enough at the start, but soon grew bitter,
and one called the other a liar. He sprane
up to resent it, but was held back while an
old man said to him:
Nov, then, you said that the bore of the
pipe was nine inches, didn't YOUR

"And this man said you ied2'
HE did, and I'll mash him"'
"Wait, here is a tape-line. Let us see.
