Andrew H. Burke, elected second COVER
nor OF the state of North Dakota, was born
in New York city, May Is, 1850. His
mother died at his birth and his father
when he was but four years of age. He
was taken to Indiana, in 1858, by the Chill
dren's Aid society and placed on a farm.
Here he lived until IL years old, when he
enlisted as a drummer-boy III the 18th In
diana volunteers, in the famous Fourteenth
army corps, under pap" Thomas. At the
close of the war he returned to civil life,
educated himself sufficiently to enter Ash
burn university at Greencastle, Ind. Here
without money. but all abundance of ener-
gy, he worked his passage" but at the
close of the second year, his health failed
and he was compelled to leave college. He
was connected with the business depart
ments of the daily Journal, Courier, and
afterwards with the same department. of
the indianapolis Sentinel. From here he
went to Cleveland; then to MinneapoE s,
and afterwards took charge of a saw mill
and general store at New York Mills.

A Question

Octopus" in Fargo Argus: A question
has arisen in regard to the term of office of
county auditor. The state constitution in
section 173, enumerates the officers and
their qualifications and says they 'shalI
hold their offices until their successors are
elected and qualified" Section 10 of the
schedule provides that territorial, county
and precinct officers who may be in office
when the constitution takes effect, shall
hold and exercise their Office during the
term for which they were elected, Section
16 provides that state officers terms com
mence the first Monday in January follow
ing general election, but there. is no men
ton of county officers commencement of
service. No law was passed at the last
session affecting this question. Chapter 100
Of the laws Of 1889, changed chapter
10 of the laws OF 1887, max
ing 1.-THE auditors term expire
in March instead of January. There
seems to have been no repeal Of this law
and county auditors may hold until March.
This will probably make no difference in
Cass county, as I understand the outgoing
and incoming auditors there pool their re-
ceipts. In Richland county, Mr.. Perry
expects to continue to perform the duties
of the office until March, I learn, and the
same is the case in Pierce county 1 believe.
1t seems that an act should be passed,
clearly specifying that the terms of ali
county Otacials-except school superin-
tendent-shall expire the first MOnday in
January. This will prevent any litigation
in the future.

A GREAT many people8";z;ll be disap-
pointed on the senatorship-disappointed
on the time when the contest will be
settled. Many have an idea that the
senatorial contest is the first thing to be
settled, when the fact is the first ballot
for senator will not-cannot under the
statutes-be taken until the Goth inst
second Tuesday after meeting on or
ganization." The swearing tram will
likely have left before the senatorial con-
test is settled. However, it is likely that
the caucus will have virtually settled the
contest long before the Goth, but very
little business of Importance will be
transacted until the senatorial band
wagon has gone out of sight. In the
meantime the contests can be settled
and combinations formed-which is nec-
essary for legislation-that some people
like and-some don't.

Again, suppose the foregoing PROPOSE

deliver a message to the legislative as
sembly as governor?
Again, suppose when Allen Quail
ies he would become governor.
Section II Of the constitution provides
that the lieutenant governor shall be

order for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 2 of the
schedule, repeating section Is of the
Compiled Laws to the extent that the

presiding officer appoint a committee

ALL this might be- averted by the pres

But, then, this is all speculation. OF
course no complication will arise, for,
as said before, it has been "fxed." The

Any officer who qualities to-morrow(Mon-

WHATEVER may have been the differ
ences that have arisen between Governor
Miller and his critics during his admin
istration, whatever harsh criticisms may
have been directed against portions of
his policy, there is no %gainsaying that
his message was an able state paper. His
facts were clearly and tersely stated, his
figures grouped in a manner easily I'M
derstood, and his diction admirable.
Everyone likes an open and manly oppo-
nent, and, without fear or favor, the re-
firing officer voiced the sentiments of
his heart. He goes out of Office with
fewer enemies than he had before the
message was heard.
The inaugural address of Governor
Burke did not disappoint his friends, and
touched a responsive chordin the breasts
of his hearers. He stands on the broad
and liberal ground that the necessary ex-
penditures should not be grudgingly
given. He believes that, while all rea-
sonable economy should be practiced,
the burdens incident to the building up
Of a great state should not be shirked.
The new executive, out of the limited
material at the command of one who is
just taking up his work, constructed a
paper of great value both at home and
abroad. He takes no stock in the effort
to hold a great and fruitful state respon-
sible for the misfortunes of a few coun-
ties. BE emphasizes the fact that we are
amply able to care for our own. He will
not entertain the thought that the body
Of well-dressed representative men who
have been chosen to work with him are
but a part of a starved and ruined peo-
pie. He deserves the thanks OF every
man, woman and child in North Dakota
for proclaiming to the world that our
future is bright and hopeful-a view
which is entirely justified by the facts.

SENATOR WoRsT asked but n n
tor, outside the old members, for support
for president pro tenn. He did not for a
moment suppose that a new member
would have any claim upon the place,
and this fact accounts, partly, perhaps,
for the lack of support he received from
the new men. Those new members who
are saying that Mr.. Worst did not ask
for their support, and that if he had
asked them, he would have received it,
now understand why he did not approach

The North Dakota Republican has
the following to say regarding the sena-
torship question: 1.-THE press and poll
ticians of North Dakota seem to be all
broke up over the election of a success
sor to Senator Pierce. In a few days
the legislature will convene and then the
battle will begin in dead earnest. There
is one thing that shows up in this con-
troversy to the senatorship that is hui
initiating to all patriotic citizens of the
state, and that is the statement that cer-
tain candidates are favored by one or the
other of the great railroad cor
porations. The members of the
legislature are supposed to be
elected to represent the people of
the state, to enact laws in their behalf
and in their interest@not as servants of
the corporations. In the selection of a
senator they should consider only fitness,
ability and integrity. No man should
be chosen simply because the managers
of the Great Northern railway or those
of the Northern Pacific railroad favor
him. The people want a man in the
United States senate to represent the
state Of North Dakota and all it's great
interests, agricultural, commercial, man
ufacturing and railway, fairly and impair
~tially-doing justice to all without par
tiality to any one of these interests a
practical and an honest statesman, whose
highest ambition will be, to serve the
state that honors him. =

In all the exchanges, not a word
against Pierce except that he hasn't
lived long enough in the state, or has not
pleased all the politicians-two absolute
impossibilities from the very nature of

the requirements demanded, and there
are SO many politicians it would be i'm

IT is too bad that a strong eastern SEN
tim ent misjudges the condition of affairs
in the northwest. It would seem that, as
between the Indians and their white
neighbors, these so-called philanthro-
piets of the east prefer the former. With
them the lives and property of the pio-
neers arc as nothing compared with the
sanctity that surrounds the Indians per-
son. Now the howl is against the mill
tary because women and children were
killed near Pine Ridge. OF course no
officer or soldier would wantonly destroy
S quaws and their offspring, but such &C.
ton is sometimes compelled by the first
la of nature. Self preservation demands
such sacrifices. Squaws, and even small
children, will act as hellishly as the war
rlors. It is their work to dis
patch and mutilate the wounded.
At the Pine Ridge fight,
s quaws and children were intermingled
with the bucks who opened the treacher-
u and murderous fire. What could
u boys do but kill them? Must they
stand to be destroyed like the OK in the
shambles? They could do nothing but
fire into the crowds, regardless of sex or
age. 1t is to be deplored that this maud
lin eastern sentiment will likely handi-
cap the campaign against the savages, as
army commanders must first separate
the bucks from the squaws before they
are justified in attacking, even in self
defense. The lives of many soldiers may
yet be sacrificed to the Indian Rights
association idea of governmental meth
DDS in dealing with the savages. The
Indians are of the west. Let western in
huences work in treating with them. As
the east is subject to none of the dangers
of Indian outbreaks, let it keep quiet
and turn over the settlement of the prob
lem to those who are.
