ern railroad isa certainty.
Inere IS no enterprise thotwould
be Of more benet5 TO our city at
IS small cost as & cotton compress.
We have seen that Brentwood and
Shetlmane receive every season
several thousand bales of cotton
which would be brought to Dawson
it our citizens would make it to
the interest OF the farmers to bring
1t here, When The Columbus
Southern is completed warehouses
will be erected and cotton markets
established at Weston, Parrott and
some points between here and
| Albany, and several thousand
bales which Dawson has been get.
ting will go to these places and be
shipped to Columbus or Albany
and better prices obtained on &C
count Of additional competition by
reasons Of having congresses.
Americas has nearly doubled
her cotton receipts since she estab>
lished her Two congresses, in spite
of the other towns growing up or
shipping points being established
around her. For the same reason
Albany is getting several thousand
bales annually from Dawson's ters
ritory, some having been carried
there during this and last season
from our warehouses, and the
money spent there for supplies,
ETC., which should have been kept
here.
Ofcours3 our new railroad will
give US better freight rates than
we have heretofore enjoyed; but
sill We cannot successfully COM
pete with Albany, Americas, Co.
Iumbus and Eufaula unless we
build cotton compress or two as
they have done, in order to reduce
the Size Of the bales 50 as to In
crease the capacity of railroad and

PROF KELLEY, who was strongly urged
for the Office of superintendent of public
instruction before the republican state
convention last fall and again brought
forward by Representative Cole to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Superin-
tendent Mitchell, wal nominated by the
republican party for county superintend-
ent of schools of Dickey county. Re-
publican caucuses were called through
out the county for delegates to meet in
convention for the purpose of nominal
ing a party candidate. Kelley's name
was brought forward and he accepted the
nomination as a party candidate. Charles
A. Kent, the present superintendent, an
nounced himself an Independent aspir-
ant for reelection and was reelected by
over sixty majority. Although the coua-
ty is strongly republican, the people will
not submit to this Office being made a
political issue. A heavy vote was polled
by the women, and the fact demonstrated
that Representative Cole doesn't carry
Dickey county in his vest pocket. The
great "peace congress" agitator should
devote less time to writing ghost articles
for the Fargo Republican and more time
to practical politics or turn over the war
bonnet to some one else whose head it
will fit.

The trouble in the held-up-by-the-
boot-straps cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis has taken a serious turn. st. Paul
engaged spies and as a result a United
States officer arrested seven Minneapolis
census enumerators Tuesday night, who,
together with several sacks of papers,
we're taken before a United States COM
missioner at St. Paul charged with
"swelling census totals" Minneapolis
claims the act was an outrage and a part
of a pre-arranged scheme on the part of
st. Paul to cast discredit on the Mime
apolis census count throughout the coun-
try. The twin city newspapers will now
devote a little more space to their own
affairs. They have found q greater out
rage than the "lottery octopus" which
has been the burden of their song for the
past few months.

Nor enough attention has been paid to
the getting up of a platform of party
principles heretofore at republican con
ventions. For instance, at the late state
convention the platform of a county con
vention was adopted almost verbatim.
In the excitement following the nomina-
ton of candidates very little attention is
paid to the platform and frequently it is
adopted with less than half the delegates
present. To avoid this the state commit
tee raised a committee composed of
Messrs. Frye, Streeter, Percival, Francis
and Winship to draft resolutions to be
submitted to the committee on resolu-
tions. OF course the resolutions will be
subject to change but it is believed a
platform gotten up with mature deliber.
alton would contain more wisdom and at
least read smoother than those made on
"the spur of the moment"

HERE'S the way Col. Plummer sizes up
a lot of well-known wouid-be political
leaders in North Dakota: "For real low
dishonesty and cheeky lying in politics,
commend us to the truly good and alto
gether lovely fellows whose penchant for
reform, repression and regulation of
everybody's affairs, would lead them to
attempt to hurl the sun from its fixed
centre and light the solar system with
the refulgent light of their imaginary
goodness. Among those who usually
take an interest in political movements
there is a code of honor which is lived up
to by those who subscribe to it. But it
is different with the pretended purists.
They will enter into bargains and go
back on them with the utmost %looseness.
They fail to comprehend the fact that
there is such a thing as political decency
and honesty.

DISPATCHES from Yankton Saturday

DISPATCHES from Yankton Saturday
night, published in all the associ-
ated press papers, conveyed the infor-
nation that DR.. Burleigh, one of Da-
kota's first delegates to congress-, had
died of consumption. On this informa-
ton the TRIBUNE fastened to pay a be-
fitting tribute to the distinguished "de-
parted" While all this was going on,
DR.. Burleigh, hale and hearty, was wend-
ing his way from Miles City to Yankton
via the Atlantic express, arriving in Bis
marck Sunday evening. The telegraph
was in error. It was Tim Burleigh, a
son of DR.. W. A. Burleigh, who died and
the doctor was IN his way to Yankton to
attend the funeral. In this connection
the TRIBUNE will say that its encomiums
on the "life and public services" of DR..
Burleigh-with the death feature ommit-
ted-stand just the same, and the
admiration of the TRIBUNE is only
equalled by the high respect every other
old-time Bismarcker has for the distin-
guished pioneer lawyer and statesman.

A DISPATCH from Rome says: A petit
ton was recently presented to the pope
from the authorities of the Island of NAL
ia, complaining of the teaching of for
eign languages in the parochlal schools
in that island and asking his holiness to
make some recommendation with refer
nee to the matter. The pope, who is
recognized as the special patron of the
education of youth, after a full investi-
cation, decided in favor of the English
language, which is the official language
of that country, and has instructed the
bishops and the priests of the province
to see that all branches in the parochial
schools are hereafter taught in the Eng
lish language. This practically settles
the question as to the laws in Illinois
and Wisconsin, so far as the Catholic
church is concerned.

UNDER the constitution the regular
term of the state officers is fixed at two
years, to be elected each even-numbered
year. The present officers could not be
elected but for the half-expired period
year-ending next January. There
is a prevailing sentiment that a majority
of the present state officers should be re-
elected-that they have made faithful
officials and that under the circumstan-
ces should beellowed to remain a couple
OF years more at least in
the respective offices, the duties
of which they have just thoroughly Or
ganized and become familiar with. IT
both the governor and the lieutenant
governor are sincere in their refusal to
become candidates for reelection, Of
course this program will be broken into

IT is generally reported-and Cover
nor Miller afirms it-that the present
executive will not be a candidate for re-
election under any circumstances. This
being taken for a settled fact there is but
little doubt but that George B. Winship
of Grand Forks will aspire to the posi-
ton. OF course the crafty Grand Forks
editor will be a little shy at first, but
Governor Miller's toga naturally falls on
him and he'll have to throw himself into
the "hands of his friends" who of course
will insist. As Winship has been 1.-THE
pcwer behind the throne" of the present
administration, Governor Miller will OF
course lend his influence in Winship's
behalf.

The Sioux Falls Press of the 21st
inst. contains the following:
Ex-Territcrial Treasurer Bailey yester-
day closed up the old accounts of his Of
flee. the warrants issued by the territory
having been paid and all its bonds ad-
justed. Cancelled refunded bonds as
sumed by South Dakota, amounting to
$107 500 were forwarded to State Treaurer
Smith. The final settlement showed a sur
plus of $3.50 which had been credited to
the territory by the Chemical National
bank of New York, by reason of over
charge in the matter of payment of inter-
est coupons. This sum was turned over to
Chairman Bray of the joint commission
for settlement of the accounts of the terri
tory, and will be divided between the two
states. The territory and its financial Of
ficer are to be congratulated upon going
out Of business with a surplus, however
small. Such transactions usually find a
balance on the other side of the ledger,
but Dakota territory will 20 into history as
a commonwealth whose every nickel of
revenue and funds has been accounted for,
and upon whose credit there is not the
slightest Smirch.

In Bismarck lis ladies voted at the
recent school election, in jamestown 127
voted and in Mandan 1877 voted. There
were two tickets in Mandan and two in
Jamestown-ln each of these cities a
board of education was elected. In
jamestown a straight male ticket" was
put in the field the night before election.
It made the election interesting, but the
ticket with two ladies on won. In Man.
dan it was a religious fight in which the
Catholics claim a clean sweep.

"UNscRuPuLoUs and dishonest jour-
nal" is the way the Minneapolis Trib.
une speaks of the Pioneer Press. What!
Is that the character of the s%elf-consti-
tuted critic of st. Paul that had so much
to say in condemnation of the lottery
advocates last winter-calling them
thugs, thieves and villains? Can it be
that "pot has been calling the kettle
blackw What! The great and moral
P. P. quilts of "false p~retenses," and ev-
erything that is bad? It seems hardly
possible, yet the Minneapolis papers,

more.

GLANDS intersected by a narrow firth
abhor each other" wrote a celebrated
poet; and st. Paul and Minneapolis are
now giving the illustration. Either the
laws Of p%rocreation or the census
enumerators have done the mischief, and
the two great cities are twins" no
longer. The ligament has been severed
never to be reunited. And there will no
longer be a combine to look after the af-
fairs and regulate the morals of North
Dakota. Separate missionary work may
now be expected. Something has been
said about "when rogues fall out" etc.

no one else. They alone are responsible
for the $1,000 luxury the taxpayers of
this county will be compelled to pay for.
The grand jury was not needed. How
ever, the financial showing they made of
the county may serve to open the eyes of
the taxpayers to the fact that a halt in
county extravaganza must be called and
the TRIBUNE believes the present board
Messrs. Edgerly, Moorhouse and John
son-will be equal to the emergency.
The TRIBUNE will not attempt to shield
any Of the previous county boards. Ever
since the "reform" wave started in 1882
things have been going worse each year.
Railroad grades-miscalled county roads
have been built all over the county at
an expense of thousands of dollars, I'M
necessary bridges have been built, and
until iron bridges were put in wooden
bridges we're being built or rebuilt every
year. The %county's poor have cost too
much. 1t would have been cheaper to
board every pauper at a first-class hotel
than to keep them the way they have
been kept. The grand jury report showed
that $56,O42.04 has been issued up to and
including 1889 over and above the 4 per
cent. limit allowed BY law. In this con-
nection the TRIBUNE desires to call at
vention to the statement made by Moffet
and others that the grand jury had mis-
represented the facts. The grand jury's
figures we're taken from the
records and cannot vary much
from the truth unless figures
lie. The jury did not mean to say that
the county commissioners had exceeded
their authority in the issue Of warrants
to the extent Of $50. O42.04-wARRANTs
DRAWN IN 1889-but DURING THAT YEAR
THE WARRANTS DRAWN MAD THE TOTAL
EXCESS $56,042.04. Everybody who read
the grand jury report knows this was
what was meant. No grand jury, unless
it was composed of such moral hypo-
critics as mugwump Mofet and county
record mutillator Healy, would be guilty
of making an intentional misrepresenta-
ton, and the recent grand jury that
Healy had called is guiltless. The ami
mus of Moffet and "Betsey" and the
"new gang" lies in the fact that it found
three indictments against Healy, who
had haen covarino nm hie o1un rottonpooe
and lawlessness by accusing others of
crime. It is now too late to look for the
':stolen horse" but we may lock up the
stable and keep the ourrycomb and
brush. By strict economy and wise
craftsmanship it is possible to redeem
the county and lift it out of the mire,
and in the efforts to do this the county
commissioners should receive the aid
and cooperation of all good citizens and
taxpayers.

A EET1NG of the republican county
central committee will probably be
called next week, to make a call for the

lutely fair apportionment between the
city and country.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. JUNE q 1890

While Hansbrough is down in Washing
ton-the first term, and a bob-tail one at
that-working for North Dakota's inter-
ests-public buildings at Grand Forks
and Fargo-it looks asi if the fellows who
sent him there have lost their apprecia-
ton, and he must either neglect his
duties at Washington and come back and
look after his fences, or "sing his own
praises" and retire at the end of the
YEAR.
