ONE of the mighty has fallen: Another
hero Of the war for freedom and for the
existence of this nation has laid down his
burden of old age and bodily suffering.
Wherever in the wide world patriotism
and bravery are esteemed there is sorrow
and regret. General Sherman is dead.
His death was not unexpected, for the
telegraph had brought tidings of his
nearness to the grave. The younger
generation, who knew the departed hero
only through the pages of history, can
hardly realize the deep feelings of sorrow
and bereavement that will fill the breasts
of the old warriors who were proud to
follow where Sherman led. No general
on either side in the civil war was more
beloved by his soldiers. Plain, rugged
and honest, by mere force of personal
example he converted his regiments and
brigades into an invincible machine.
No more brave and daring deed is
recorded in the pages of history
than the march from Atlanta
to the sea. To the old and grizzled
veterans who were with him on that
march the death of General Sherman
comes as it would we're he one of their
OWL kindred. Not only will they speak
words Of sorrow, but in secret their
tears will flow for the loss of their old
commander, gone to that bourne whose
mysteries in a few short months or years
they shall know. The great captains of
the fratricidal war have nearly all left
us. Less than a week before, the com.
mander of the navy, Admiral Porter
passed away. A few short years and
here and there a tottering and senile
pensioner will be the only connecting
link between present and past. BuI
so long as this nation endures thu
heroism Of Grant, of Sherman, of Sheri
dan, and Of those in high or low station
who fought under them will not b,
forgotten.

QUITE a number of stock men are in the
city opposing the passage of the bill to
Increase the of the state by
placing the unorganized territory of the
state within the limits of organized
counties. The very reasons on which
they oppose it affords the best argument
in its favor. Naturally the stock mer
desire to escape taxation, and naturally
the farmers and other taxpayers do not
want anything of the kind. That is the
whole situation in a nutshell.

The capital ghost made a final appear
ance in the house Wednesday,. The ora,
torical gladiators were in good trim, and
there was considerable speech-making,
Messrs. Brooke, Burke, Douglas, Oliver,
Brown and Gill taking grounds against
loss Of valuable time in subsequent con-
sideration of the bill. Messrs. Burke
and Brooke opposed it because it was
unfair and was not demanded by the
people. The remarks of Colonel Brown,
one of the Grand Forks members, COM
manded marked attention. He said he
was one of the early settlers of that city
been there fourteen years-and he did
not believe the people wanted it at the
cost necessary to obtain it. For his part,
he would much rather expend
any bonus required to obtain the capital
in a starch factory and other manufac-
turing enterprises, because the latter
were an everyday advantage to the city,
which the possession of the capital
would not be. 1t was also argued by
those opposed that the removal would be
a bad thing for the state and it's develop
ment. The more development in T..
western part of the state the more ya'.
able would become the lands granite
other public institutions. The pese
nency of the capital meant an increa SO
in the value of all lands for all other IN
situations. Only seven members voted
against the indefinite postponement OF
the removal resolution. All ghosts now
being out of the way, the balance Of the
session will be devoted to hard work and
legitimate legislation.

IT is just barely possible that there is
some mistake about the Washington tel
egram in reference to M. n. johnson.
The Minneapolis journal man seems in
elined to give Johnson the worst of it.
He had him over in the White House the

ping his mantle upon him, etc.-then he
had johnson lost-then found again
Saturday-all of which, coupled with
this last charge, sounds ridiculous.

THE SAME OLD GHOST,

The capital ghost stslked in the senate
chamber Saturday. At a very opportune
time in the proceedings-just after the
passage of the resubmission resolution,
with its attendant disappointments and
heartburnings-Jud. LaMoure fired in
a resolution raising a committee of three
from the senate and four from the house,
to cast about the state and see what other
communities have to offer in the way of
Inducements for capital honors. The
committee is to receive propositions and
weigh the inducements, and report pro-
gress to this legislature within ten days.
The resolution was adopted-only nine
voting against it. The house will proba-
bly, lay the resolution over until Wednes-
day-the previously appointed ghost day
n that body. OF course Grand Forks is
anxious, very anxious to get the capital,
and in the present instance undoubtedly
has the secret if not the active co-opera-
ton of the Great Northern Railroad
company.
The capital is a state institution in
which Bismarck is interested more than
other communities only because of it's
being located here, and because of the
fact that her citizens impoverished
themselves by donating to Dakota $780,
600 in cash for the building, and the
expenditure of nearly as much more
in protecting it against the covetous
citizens of South Dakota in territorial
days. Hand in hand Bismarck, James
town, Fargo and Grand Forks worked
and schemed for the supremacy of the
North against the South until, finally,
division and statehood came. Then
came another struggle, and the public
institutions of the state we're ~equitably
and amicably located about the state.
Shall neighbor now rise up against
neighbor? Because the state is still
young and u~ndevoloped shall we build
only for the present? Shall we so re-
arrange the map as to openly confess
to the world that North Dakota is but
a ten-mile strip of land in the Red
River valley?
1t is no longer Bismarck's fight. The
people of this city have become heartily
sick Of capital ghosts. They have had
their nose on the grindstone for many
years. One-half the energy displayed in
any other direction would have resulted
in more substantial good for Bismarck.
But her people we're ambitious and, hav-
ing led the fight in wrenching the cap
ital from the southern half of the state
and her members having always been
true and fair to the interests of Fargo,
Grand Forks and jamestown, she natur-
ally felt that, her location being right
for the future state, she was entitled to
capital honors-especially when so dear
ly won. OF course Bismarck does not
anticipate capital removal, but it is ag-
gravating in the extreme to be engaged
in a constant fight of this nature and for
ever and ever to hear that din, well re-
move your capital"

up by our boot-straps, the sooner will

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES,
The final defeat of the re-submission
scheme may be attributed to the "previ-
BUSINESS Of Hon. Jud LaMoure. Had
he and Hon. M. L. Mccormack not in
sisted on the passage OF a capital remov-
al resolution against the protests of every
western member of the senate-each of
whom was necessary to the success of
the re-submission scheme-then the vic
tory for high license, announced Satur-
day, would have free and effect to-day.
1t was p%resuming too much on the cred
ulity of the Missouri slope members to
suppose that they would not resent an
insult and retallate at the first opportu-
nifty. It was a piece of i%nexcusable
short.sightedness on the part of Mr.. La
Moure, whose experience in legislative
affairs has certainly taught him better
than to take such chances on a measure
carried by 80 narrow a majority as had
just been recorded on the ie-submission
proposition. 1t was neither statesman
ship or fair play, and the result finally
was a combination against re-submission
and capital removal schemes. O%vertures
made even as late as two hours before
this new combination was effected were
repealed and there was nothing
left for the Missouri slope
members to do but to join with friends
untried as against those tried and found
treachorous. In the whole history of
the state and extending away back into
territorial days, Bismarck and the
Missouri slope has always been
true to Grand Forks and Fargo, and
to Jud LaMoure and M. L. Mccormack
in every emergency. And, in this con-
nection, it must be recorded that Fargo
and her people and her representatives
have always been true to Bismarck
been our friends when friends were
needed-and, in the present instance,
nothing SO grieves the appreciative
Missouri slope citizen as. the fact that
the result disappoints many good citi-
zens of that city, as we'll as friends in
Grand Forks who do not and have not
approved of these capital removal
schemes. John Haggart, than whom
no nobler, truer man lives, did
all in his power to avert the disaster.
He was not, nor
has been, in favor of any
capital removal scheme. No confidence
in him has ever been imposed upon.
His stand was for resubmission and
