Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1891-07-02
The democrats of Iowa have re-
nominated Gov. Boies. They will
elect him too.

The republicans are figuring on
good crops and general prosperity
to carry future elections. They
think that the farmers will forget
their sufferings and hardships and
forgive the party which imposes
such outrageous burdens upon them
so heavy in fact that unless they
are always prosperous they cannot
bear such burdens and live. The
republican party managers will hold
a different opinion of farmers and
workingmen by the fall of '92, and
will be kicking themselves for hold
ing such delusions.

ing the action of Gov. Burke in ap-
pointing Hon. John Bidlake to the
position Of Colonel on his staff, and
intimated that this appointment was
made solely because Mr.. Bidlake
voted for Hansbrough. Now, it is
we'll known fact that Mr.. Bidlakc
was chairman of the committee on
military appropriations and it was
due to his hard work on that COM
mittee that the militia Of North Da-
kota was recognized and placed on
a respectable footing. Therefore it
was but an act of courtesy on the
part of Gov. Burke to appoint Mr..
Bidlake and as the office is but a
bill of expense to the holder we fail
to see how it would cat any figure
in the senatorial fight, as it is also a
well known fact that Mr.. Bidlake
led his party in that tight and with
other members valiantly stood by
his party nominee to the last and
when the break became necessary
only voted for Mr.. Hansbrough as
the lesser of too egals. In view of
the above fact a retraction on the

He grabbed his wife around the waist

The speaker referred to the question
OF transportation. 1t costs 25 cents to
get a dollars worth of wheat to New
York, while it only costs 4 cents to get
a dollars worth of butter to the same
market.
You need to lay well the foundation
for your dairy business. Begin today
to build up the fertility of the soil.
North Dakota is today one of the best
dairy states in the union if the farmers
only see it. Some one has suggested
that we may overdo it. But if every
man in this state should go into the
dairy business at once, it wouldn't in
crease the output of butter very much,
1t takes COWS to make butter. In Wis
consln the average increase in the
number of COWS is only S per cent an
nually. AT that rate it will take 20
years to double the number of COWS
while the consumption of butter is
rapidly increasing. The over produc-
ton is in poor butter. The speaker re-
commended winter dairying. Success
full farmers are not crying hard times.
In North Dakota we have the best
climate in the world for butter making,
and we have grand opportunity to
make a grand dairy state of North Da-
kOta.

Of this state:
The speaker, proceeded, remarkine
that he had very few AMBITIONS in life
except to be Of some purpose. of some
help in a practical way to his fellow
beings. Agriculture is serious basi-
ness. There is nothing funny about
it. It is serious proposition to make
it success. Many who have under
taken it have looked at the business
from the wrong end. The farmer is
Gods vice-regent here on earth; he is
the next man to the Almighty. The
banker, merchant, manufacturer, deals
with rules of human device; the man
who proceeded him in the business was
no bigger man than he; but the farmer
deals with rules laid out by Gods
hand; we are dealing with primal for
ices.
It is not an easy matter to under
stand a COW. The COW understands
man better than he does the COW. In
deed, a COW is bigger mystery than a
statesman. lean understand politi-
clan. Iknow just exactly what he
wants, and what win make him give
milk. In dealing with the COW. we are
dealing with motherhood. We are
dealing with a problem invented by
God. Men hold altogether too cheap
an estimate Of the elements of success
in dairying. It is to be deprecated
that man Of bright minds have 90 cheap

Tuesday, June "a. President Muir
called the meeting to order, M. D. Will
liams, secretary. The entire day was
consumed with preliminary work. AT
5 p. m. the convention went into exec
utive session receiving the report of the
committee on credentials and on order
of business. Wednesday mornings
work began with the task of revising
the constitution and bylaws. This
latter work was completed on Thurs
day morning. The next important
duty was election of officers for the en-
suing year. Prominent among the
candidates for the presidency were
Messrs. Smith Stimmel of Cass, and E.
G. D. Shortridge of Grand Forks. On
the first ballot Shortridge received Log
votes to Stimmel's 81, and his election
was made unanimous. Mr. Hagen, OF
Barnes county was unanimously chos-
en- vice-president, Mr.. McInnes Of
Traill received a handsome majority
for secretaro and II. A. Foss was cleo

Decreased Imports.

The high protectionist press has
discovered new blessing derived
from the Mckinley bill. They are
pointing to our decreased imports
since the bill took effect and saying:
"Behold the product of foreign labor
is excluded from our Shores" The
true cause for this decrease IS not
difficult to locate. As soon as the
Mckinley bill passed, but before it
took effect, our importers went into
the European markets and bought,
at three to six months time, large
quantities of goods most affected by
increased duties. The increase in
our imports from Sept. 1st to April
lst was $44,ooO,oOO over the imports
for the same period for the previous
year. This fact explains the de-
crease in our imports since the bill
took effect, and also shows that an
increased duty does increase the
price Of the article on which it is
levied. If such were not the case
our importers would hardly be called
good business men to assume such
heavy responsibilities in the pur-
chase of goods unless they expected
a very marked increase in their
price.-F. S. & H.

to make the case clear to our read

At the last meeting of the Cava-

Hence the Republicans childish,

Now let us throw some light on
his own assertions that his present
employers may know something of
the character of the man they have
entrusted with their business. His
own assertions prove him an en-
bezzler to use a very mild term.
He says that "in 1888, while run
ming the Courier, he donated the
said copies of the constitution and
bylaws of the society to the socie-
ty."
Now we have made careful exa-
mination of the books of the Cava-
lier county Democratic Publishing
Co., by whom he was employed in
1888, but we do not find an item
entered there charging said society
with 100 copies or any other num-
ber of constitutions and bylaws of
the society. And again, if he had
"donated" such a nuslber of copies
to the society, personally, ne must
needs account for them to his en-
ployers, by charging himself with
the cost Of the stock and the time of
the employees, etc.
No, such item Of costs appear in
the books of said company. If the
Agricultural society paid Me-. Do
herty for printing said copies, the
society does not receive credit for it
on the company's books,neither does
Mr.. Doherty account for 1T in any
manner to the company.

to the problem. Mr.. Doherty
did not print 700 copies ef the con-
stitution and bylaws of the Cava-

he did and turned the proceeds to
his own benefit. The COURIER
DEMOCRAT don't care continenta!
whether he did or did mot. It fur
nished the society with the necessary
copies at it's own expense, and does
not even desire 'svote of thanks"
If the society wishes to consider
itself insulted, it is at liberty to do
so, but we do not thinks it is COM
posed of men so devoid of brains
and with as little regard for the
welfare of the society as the Repub-
lican's editor. They probably know
how to appreciate a favor.

From others 1t was learned that all the

reinstated upon application, and the same
is true of many Chicago ~switchmen. The

Two pistol shots, a crash OF falling glass
and a woman's scream startled people who
happened to be near the house on the
corner Of Seventeenth street and Central

o'clock last evening.
A reporter with Officer ingalls, entered

could hardly tell her story,

has been struck at last seven hundred
and seven feet from mouth of tunnel and
go feet from the surface. At a distance
of sixteen feet the farther side of the
vein had been reached. Specimens Of
ore received here from c. W. Beal of W.
B. Hughes & Co, shows gray copper and
ruby silver. Clinton Folsom OF Gold

looks like the ore at Georgetown, Colo.
II 1t wa Georgetown ore | should say it
would run from 200 to 500 ounces in sill
yer. but of course l could not undertake
to say what it would run here, though l
think it must be rich in silver"
A. H. Huston has discovered a lead.
tie ore from which is pronounced by the
miners here to be tin, after a careful com
p~arison with the specimens of tin ore
from the Black Hills. Mr.. Huston, who
was in today, said in reference to this
lead: Il have tried for some time to find
some one who could tell me the nature of

there, tor | eau trace the lead for a couple

as being more valuable than any gold OF

The discovery of this tin lead has Gre
ated a good deal of quiet enthusiasm
among miners. The question here is not

not contain2' Every day brightens the
