The state treasurer of North Dakota,
while he has been crowded pretty close
at times, has been able thus far to pay
all claims against the state on demand.
This was hardly expected possible when
the legislature adjourned last March,
but collections have been pressed and no
warrant has yet been Registered for
payment" Every warrant has been paid.
The delinquent county taxes and the
delinquent Northern Pacific railroad
taxes, if paid, would be sufficient to pay
the expenses of the coming legislature.
The outlook for the future is not bad.
The revenue under the tax levy per-
mitted by the constitution will pay the
running expenses of the state govern
ment and the present public institutions
all right, but nothing more. Any,
thing beyond this will have to be pro-
vided for with bonds.

The following inside information re-
garding the senatorship was given out
by Secretary Flittie to a Pioneer Press
reporter:

elected
II really don't know. 1t seems to be
turning colder this afternoon =
,"What do you think of Hansbrough's
chances ~
II haven't heard any one say. 1t looks
a little bit like snow, doesn't itw
swell, do you think Ball is in it ?"
"SOme mi said that he might possibly
be a candidate. The wind seems to be
rising, doesn't itw
1T is rumored that Governor Miller
could be induced to accept the senatorship.
How is it," -,
HE has not mentioned it to me. This
begins to look like real winter weather,
doesn't it ~
"Do you suppose La Moure's name will
be brought before the caucus ?"
"Possibly. Do you know it wouldn't
before l got home 2"
"You don't suppose Alex Mckenzie
wants to be senator, do youw
b says not. l wish l had brought my
fur coat" 'Hold onw called the secretary,
as the newspaper man reeled away.
"Whenever l q give you any informa.
tion, do not hesitate to call upon me. l am

The jamestown Alert agrees with the
TRIBUNE and says: "The counties in
the James river valley and Missouri
slope gave the republican ticket a ma
jority of 1902, while the Red river val
ley and Manitoba counties only gave the
ticket a majority Of 1858 out of nearly
two-thirds the total vote of the state.
In other words, the Red river and north
ern counties that are now claiming the
senator on account of location, have less
than IS per cent. of a republican vote,
while the remainder of the state has Ga
per cent. of the republican vote. In
compiling the above figures the Bis
marck TRIBUNE again calls attention to
the fact which has been frequently stated
in the press that the Red river valley, in
proportion to its republican votes, has al
ready more than it's share of the "spoils
of Office" That section is still claiming
more representatives, however, and
boastfully demands them on account of
population at every opportunity. If the
republicans Of the western part of the
state had not loyalty stood by the Hon.
M. N. johnson at the Grand Forks con-
vention, it is now conceded that the
most disastrous consequences to the
party supremacy in the state would have
followed. The cry of %sectionalism is a
fool-hardy n for republicans to make.
The western part of the state is entitled
to all it has and to the senator to be
elected at the coming session of the leg
islature, and the western part of the
state will not advocate the election of
any man who is not amply qualified to
represent the entire state in the United
States senate"

The proposition submitted to the
voters of Minnesota authorizing the leg
lslature to empower ~juries, after not less
than six hours elaboration in civil cases,
to find a verdict by a fve-sixths vote,
while it carried, the total vote for and
against was very small-iess than halt
the total vote on state officers. In view
of this fact, it is doubtful if the legisla-
ture will authorize the change in the jury
system at present. Such a radical
change ought to receive the affirmative
sanction of at least half the voters of the
state. The question seems to have been
subordinated to politics. Such ques-
tions should be submitted separate and
apart from political elections.

to convince q great many good citizens
that the failure to elect a local man will
result in utter disorder and ruin. It is
merely q. political game, in which indi-
viduals are benefited. There is no use
of being sentimental about these mat
ters. The TRIBUNE admires the many
good qualities of Senator Pierce, but
if to serve his interests the demands
of his friends require the assas-
sination of the characters and good
name of all who may differ with him.
then the TRIBUNE is not equal to the
emergency.

The telegraph" last week brought the
sad intelligence of the killing of Captain
Wallace of the Seventh cavalry by the
hostile Indians near Pine Ridge agency,
and the wounding of Lieutenant CARING
ton and fifteen soldiers. Both these
brave officers are we'll known in Bis
marck by all old .timers-back in the '7O's
when the Seventh cavalry's headquarters
was at Fort Lincoln. Brave remnant of
Clusters brigade. The last to be ordered
back to the Indian frontier-the first to
engage in battle against their old foes.
Fighters? To belong to the Seventh
cavalry is, and always was, an
honor only enjoyed by the cour-
ageous-the bravest of the brave. Capt.
ain Wallace has gone to join that noble
band-the heroes of the Little Big Horn
in 1876. One ssoficer killed-another
wounded. That's the history of the
famous Seventh. In every conflict the
bravery of the men has only been equaled
by that of the officers, and the nam OF
one or more appears in every death list.

The meeting of county super1nten-

fruitful of some excellent results-none

unanimously adopted requesting the new

'in consideration of his ability, faithful
ness and knowledge of the law, the
records, and the presidents in the office,
and his service as a school man in the

The Pine Ridge hostiles who are out
in the Bad Lands intimate that they
have a chip on their shoulder and are
anxious for the soldiers to come out and
knock it off. This is just what General
Miles, when he gets the military just

intends to do. It is likely something
more than the chips will fall when the

factions. Mr.. Gill is an old Dakotan,
and has. experience in public affairs.

The Grand Forks Herald interviews
a hundred or more of the leading citi-
zens of the Red river metropolis on their
senatorial preferences and the consensus
of opinion shows that while the majority
favor a Red River valley man, not more
than a dozen are of the same mind.
Well, if Grand Forks can't agree she
certainly won't kick if the rest of the
state agrees on a good man.

WILL HAWKINS, who once said-in
speaking of the wonderful fertility of
the soil of North Dakota-that pump
kins couldn't be raised successfully as
the vines grew so fast they wore out the
pumpkins by dragging them over the
g~round-was at one time associated with
Senator Pierce on the editorial staff of
the Chicago News. He is 10Y in Wash
ington and naturally takes a great in
terest in the senator's political success.
AS a sort of Christmas Offering he
sends the TRIBUNE a brief communica-
ton showing the high esteem in which
Senator Pierce is held by his colleagues
in Neutrality-suspicious., Hawkins says,
the opposition to his return to the
United States senate is not understood.
Senator Cullom Of Illinois, who tried to
discard the old OCTOPUS" way of decid-
ing t~erms-when Pierce presented him.
self-and allow the resolution of the
North Dakota legislature, ~favoring
Pierce for the long term, to have force
is particularly complimentary i'll his ut
terances regarding the new states first
senator, and thinks North Dakota
doesn't understand the streng' h of the
man she has sent to Washington. There
is a natural bond of sympathy existing
among the members of the senate-par-
t~icularly potential when a member of
good standing comes up for reelection.
This same feeling existed in the house
towards Representative H%ansbrough,
but North Dakota is new yet ana some-
how the people have got it into their
heads they can run the machine without
outside interference, and ever good ad-
vice is not listened to.

PERSONAL abuse of men who differ
with the friends of Senator Pierce polit-
~ically-men who have stood loyal for the
interests of Bismarck-men who, as pio-
neers, laid the foundation for the super
structure on which it has been possible
for later corners in the state to mount to
political prominence-personal abuse by
such truly good little boys as Willie
Moffet, may be doing the cause much
good-may be the way to best serve the
interests of North Dakota-but the TR1B-
UNE doubts it. The TRIBUNE does net
believe in a policy that tears down one
good man to build up another, and while
1t has but the kindliest feelings towards
Senator Pierce, it is wiling to concede
the right of free speech and free thought
and action to all those who may differ
with it-granting that they may be just
as sincere, just as loyal, just as honest as
Mr.. Pierce and his friends. 1t is yet too
early to diagnose the senatorial situation,
ouu ~ y SOAUdA oAuO OA0 OppOS4U1Ou 10
Senator Pierce now pronounced-if it
cannot be assuaged-represents a con-
siderable element in the republican par
ty. Instead of encouraging this breech
the TRIBUNE believes in healing
it. The party in this state cannot
afford division. It is neither desirable
nor necessary; but the calling of strong
leaders in the party "bullies" and
"boodlers," is not calculated to heal any
sores. It operates as a hurricane in.
stead of oil on the troubled waters. Ed
itor Moffet has much to learn before he
can lay claim to have reached even the
minimum of newspaper fairness and &C.
quired even a shadow of political sagac-
lty or an ounce of political sense. The
senatorship is not the only thingin which
the people Of Bismarck are interested.
While the election Of a Bismarck man, if
without sacrifice to other interests is es-
sential and desirable, it will be difficult

A NEWSPAPER will lose nothing by be-
ing fair in it's statements regarding pub
lie men, whether it agrees with them or
supports them politically or not. The
Fargo Republican and some other pa
pers that are particularly hostile to SEN
ator Pierce charge him with being a res
ident of Minneapolis. Although not an
old timer-still by no means a new
comer-he is nevertheless. and always
has been since he has set foot on Dakota
soil, a bona-fde resident of the territory
and state. The opposition. to Pierce is
political, pure and simple, and the oppo-
sition is no greater than that encoun-
tered by any man who seeks the promi-
M already achieved by Mr.. Pierce.
In all senatorial contests there is a
struggle for recognition, a sparring for
terms, between all factions, in the shadow
of which the true worth and fitness of
candidates is often lost sight of, and
often the most obscure and most un-
worthy candidate is by force of circum-
stances made to succeed. It is hoped
that as the day approaches for the selec-
ton of a United States senator in North
Dakota the discordant elements in the
republican party, now sparring for van-
tage ground, will succeed in adjusting all
differences and that instead of an un-
seemly fight for mere personal suprema-
cy, it will be q united front for party
victory--a victory that will rebound to
the credit of North Dakota-a victory to
which every republican may rejoice IN
having, in at least 8 small way, contrib
uted. It is perhaps useless to express q
desire Tor the entire absence Of Doodle
