"A Pioneer Priest.

Among the clereymen at the funeral of
Father Bernier at Wild Rice, Cass county,
was Father Genin, one Ct the Oldest
priests in the service in the northwest.
He came to the Red river valley in 1868,
and was the first resident priest for that
district, comprising strip Of country
800 miles long and 100 miles wide. He is
quoted in the Argus as saying:
II established the Holy Cross, or what
is commonly known as the Wild Rice
Mission in 1867. The first buildings
were put up on the Minnesota side, but
some of them we're subsequently moved
to the Dakota side and new ones erected
there. In 1868 was appointed postmaster
at Holy Cross and was one of the four
postmasters IN this district. The other
three we're at Fort Abercromble, George
town, Mlnn., and Pembina.
my station at the above place was
rather dangerous one, as it was on what
was called the warpath of the Sioux and
Cbippewas, but the Indians were always
friendly to me and this was one reason
why wah appointed postmaster as they
quit interfering with the mails. Before
this they cut open the mail bags and de-
stloyed whatever they could at every op-
portunity.
''ln 1872 came to Moorhead and built
the buildings used there for church and
school purposes by the Catholics. They
we're not very pretentious, but we're con-
sidered very good for those days and ser.
we'd their purpose. The first discoverer
of the Red river and Saskatchewan val
leys, now the greatest wheat producing
countries in the whole world, was
Frenchman by the name of De LIE Yer
andrie, away back in 1856. At that time
there were seven Catholic missionaries
here.
"When came into this valley there
were 10000 Indians and half breeds. 7 he
whites numbered about 800 and that in
cluded the soldiers at Fort Abercrombie
and Fort Wadsworth, SO you see there
were not many whites. What change
in few short years.
"All this was called to my mind as
was driving back from Wild Rice with
Father Collins. I remember we'll the
time when the buffalo were plenty here,
and Indian terees were to be seen on
every hand. All is changed, and IN their
place can be seen the vast farms for rails
ing wheat aud evidences Of thrift and
advancement on every hand"

Views of Prominent Republican.
D, F. Ellsworth OF the Forman Item,

Views of . Prominent Republican.
D. F. Ellsworth OF the Formsn Item,
came up from Sargent county, Friday,
on visit to his son in this city. Mr..
Ellsworth is one OF the old pioneers of
The state, and member of the republican
committee. He says prohibition is sue
cess in the southern tier Of counties,
where the towns are all small and we'll
developed public sentiment tends to
make the law effective, so far as open sa-
looms are concerned. In his opinion it
is doubtful, however, if the party can af-
ford to further advocate the appetite law
as state issue; in fact, the next conven-
ton should have in mind the late Iowa
election when preparing It's platform.
Mr.. Ellsworth was in Iowa several
weeks during the recent campaign, and
acquired a pretty thorough knowledge
Of the change which has occurred in the
political situation there. Old time
friends, republicans of long standing
convictions, frankly informed him
they intended to vote for Boise as a
rebuke to the party for it's position on
the prohibition question. On national
issues, these same men were as loyal as
ever to the party which so long pointed
to Iowa as stronghold. They voted for q
republican legislature, to prevent re-
districting Of the state on q gerrymander-
ing basis.
Sargent county raised an immense crop
this year-the finest in its history-and
MI. Ellsworth says very little of the
wheat was left unthreshed. No trouble
has been experienced IN getting cars for
Shipment, the lively competition between
four railroads making grain blockades
impossible.
In regard to the outcome Of the effort
to enforce the warehouse and inspection
law, Mr.. Ellsworth, who was one OF the
state inspectors, thinks that the work Of
the railroad commissioners will result in
the passage OF an act by the next legisla-

A CORRECT VIEW.

THE Times, IN an editorial treating

duccd for tho reason that they present
n truthful view Of tho matters touched
upon;
"But Judge Dickson comes forward
with tho statement that the vote Of the

BIRTH OF THE NEW NATIONAL
PARTY.

THE machinery Of new political
party has been set In motion. The con-
vention held IN Cincinnati few days
ago. aud which claims TO have repre-
scented the political reform forces Of the
United sta,cs, gave birth to this new
party. In that gathering were men
representing various shades Of opinion.
Mr.. Donnelly OF Minnesota met Sena'
tor Pfcner Of Kansas. Greenback
Weaver and Anarchist Schilling Of
Milwaukee stood upon u common plat
form. Illinois was represented by
'fauibonecl,, one II the Immortal three
Of the Illinois Legislature who main
talned the deadlock for U. =. Senator
during several months. II was no who
wep,, Il Is said, when his two col.
leagues voted for Palmer for Senator.
He Ia now chairman Of tho national
executive committee Of the new party.
In his speech accepting the place, half
humorously, half pathetlcally, he
said: "You SEQ before, you all that
is len Of the celebrated Independent
party OF the Illinois Legislature, 10
often called the big three" Further
on In his speech he alluded TO the
great conflict that was close ut hand
between capital aud labor, saying;
"Our politicians might a. well try TO
stop a cyclone or the movement OF the
stars as TO ovado this issue"
Taulbeneck did certainly hold out
rs no said according 10 his pledge, not
10 vote for either n Democrat or n
Republican for United States senator.
But the two others claim that they
voted for Palmer because they feared
Taulbcneck would vote for a Ropubli-
can. However, tho latter takes his
chair In the now party rs one with n
record Of fidelity to his principles.
Though the convention was n ella.
morous one and In many particulars a
discordant one, yet 1t sleered clear OF
sectional shoals. II was feared that a
conflict between North and South
would BIO prooip!tated, and that unpar-
llamontary proceedings would be In.
dulgod In on that issue. Those foars
were not realized. In fact, eeotionalism
did not even lit It's hydra head, and
this Is the most significant feature Of
the whole affair. CoDloined With the
fact that the platform was unani,
mously adopted by over 100 members,
tho absence OF seotlonhllsm mean.
something. II means harm to one OF
the old parties.
The platform asserts that the time Is
ripe for n fusion OF tho political reform
forces In this country, aud for the for.
nation Of the Peoples Party Of the
United States. II endorses the 81.
Louis platform ofiss0, the Ocala, Fla,
