ing to every species of Misrepresentation
in their absurd statements against the
laws and policy for which the repub-
licans have been responsible. Just now
they are busily circulating a lying claim
about a provision of the tariff by means
of which they pretend that the Mime
apolis miller gains an advantage over
the American wheat grower, by using
Canadian wheat, subject to a "draw-
back 1t is quite safe to assume that
any of these generalized attacks upon
the tariff are false in some important
point that removes their whole value as
argument; but the North Dakota
farmer who reads or hears of this par
ticular statement about wheat, may
reassure himself at once, for it has not
the slightest foundation and cannot
have. 1t is a positive, downright fact,
that any such farmer who knows enough

AT last Adlai has promulgated that
epistalory communication which has
been awaited by the masses for some
time. Adlai does not say much, lest he
should open his mouth too wide and
"put his footin it." He gives Cleveland's
position his unqualified approval, he
says. This must be very gratifying to
Grover, for he yearns for the approval of
some one, though it be but Adlai.
Stevenson then proceeds to howl about
the tariff, and demands reform. Adlai
makes a statement which Is not sup
ported by any competent authority when
he says that the industries of the coun-
try are in a languishing condition, and
in thus incorporating existing condi-
tions, Adlai is essentially democratic.
There is nothing in the letter which is
worthy of a man in his position. It is,
in short, a necessary nothing.

Hon. @. B. LITTLE, the republican
candidate for state senator in Burleigh
county has twice been elected to that
honorable position and has served his
constituents honorably and we'll. His
record is printed in the pages of the
official journal of the proceedings of the
legislature, and in refutation to any
stories that may be circulated by the
enemy, Mr.. Little's friends challenge
the closest scrutiny. In all of Bis
marck's fights, in all matters affecting
the welfare of the people of Rurleign
county Mr.. Little has always been found
to the front. He has always been a
loyal republican, has proved his faith in
the Missouri slope by heavy investments
in all manner Of enterprises. He is a
good citizen, a true friend, a man of
integrity and decision of character. He
is loyal to his people and no influence,
however great, can turn him from that
course. He is a safe man and has always
enjoyed the respect and friendship of
his fellows in the legislature. Those
who have voted for HIM heretofore and
who have seen him in the senate cham
Der, are proud Of hum, and those who
have not the pleasure of an intimate &C.
quaintance a rest assured that he is
approachable by the humblest citizen,
and that regardless Of station OF calling
he will lend a willing ear to all and en-
ercise his best Judgment in all matters
of especial concern to the people of the
Missouri slope.

Chief Justice Fuller of the United
States supreme court, delivered the
opinion of the court last spring il the
now famous case of James Boyd,
governor of Nebraska. It involves
questions of naturalization and citizen.
ship, the facts, i'll substance being as
follows: Boyd was of alien birth,
brought to this country in childhood.
Before attaining majority, he settled in
what is now Nebraska, and was identi-
fed with the politics and interests of
that section long before, and mp to the
time of its admission as a state and
aft erward, until recently he was elected
governor. He never had taken out
naturalization papers, however, and his
predecessor in the office sought and OBJ
tanned judgment in the state court,
ousting him from the g%overnorship.
Chief Justice Fuller's decision is to the
effect that having been actually a resi-
dent and citizen of that section in good
faith before its organization as a terri
tory and admission as a state. taking
part in the proceedings of organization
and admission, he was included in the
view of the enabling act and act of ad-
mission, granting full citizenship to the
people or inhabitants of the new state.
He cites many instances of application
of the same principle in the naturaliza-
ton of actual residents of foreign birth,
by general act, by treaty and other
means than the ordinary process of
naturalization. The effect of the de-
cision is that bona tide residents and
intending citizens who have been quail
fed, especially by the making of their
first application and oath for naturaliza.
ton, to participate in the affairs of any
territory, become citizens of the state
upon its admission and thereby of the
United States, without waiting for the
completion of the ordinary process of
naturalization. Those, therefore, who
come within this description in North
Dakota, are relieved of the necessity of
taking out final naturalization papers,
and may vote in this and all future cleo
tons.

WHEREVER E. G. Taylor, republican
candidate for sheriff, has gone he has
made friends. Everybody likes him.
His only weakness was lack of acquaint-
ance. Those who know him can vouch
for him. He is q straight republican
always has been. He is a good citizen
and a successful farmer. His uomina.
ton was asked by the country delega.
ton in the convention, and they owe it
to themselves to stand by him. The city
republicans will stand by him to a man.
They will show their country friends
that there is no ground for their fear of
"kniing' on the part of the city voters.
Mr.. Taylor is all right and deserves his
entire party support and more to. Mr..
Edick, the candidate for auditor, is also
the right man for the place-a man of
wide experience in clerical work and a
man who can attend to every detail of
his office personally. Mr.. Hanson, can.
didate for clerk of the court, is a bright
young Scandinavian whom the country
people are proud of and whom the re.
publicans propose to elect, notwithstand-
ing the popularity of his opponent. Mr..
Hanson lives in the northern part of the
county, is doing good work for the
entire republican ticket, and every
republican in every part of the county
will stand by him.

SINCE the democrats of North Da-
kota have determined to support
Weaver instead of Cleveland, his opinion
OF democrats makes mighty interesting
reading. He roasted them on one side
and then turned them and roasted them
on the other. Horace Greeley was
never as severe in his denunciation of
them, and yet when the Baltimore con-
ventlon Endorsed him and the democratic
party went ont of business for a lew
years the great bulk of the party spit
him out and would have none of him,

the people of Burleigh county. Mr..
Yegen, his associate is a merchant and a
farmer, and his expe rience in the last
Legislature makes his services particu-
larry desirable this season. He is a hard
worker, makes many friends and is
thoroughly safe and reliable. No re.

disfranchised and deprived of the
privilege of voting a straight democratic
ticket, can do no better than show their
resentment by also voting for straight

HERE is a good one. Neche is a small
but important town in Pembina county.
North Dakota. Gretna is just across
the Manitoba line a mile and a half dis.
tant. Senator Worst and Harvey Harris
were billed to make speeches at Neche
and the question of variation in prices
in this country and Canada, having been
raised in localities further south these
gentlemen took occasion to investigate.
They went to Gretna on October goth.
They found the price of wheat 6 cents a
bushel less on the other side than on
this side of the line; oats S cents a
bushel less, and barley, no sale for it
across the line whatever. The differ.
ence in the price of wheat has been as
great as Is cents a bushel. It was also
learned that a great deal of wheat was
being Struggled into this country on
account Of our better markets.. They
found that Mccormick harvesters were
sold for $3.50, and the Wood, a Canadian
machine, for $170. In Neche the price
OF Mccormick and Deering harvesters
were $40 and $145. The price of all
kinds of cotton goods we're from 10 to 20
per cent. higher across the line than in
North Dakota, and the only article they
found in Gretna cheaper than in Neche
was a very fine grade of overcoats. They
met a special agent of the Mccormick
Reaper company and he denied emphati-
cally that farm machinery was sold for
less money in foreign countries than in
the United States. The prices quoted
by democratic orators are prices to
agents and not to individuals. The best
tariff lessons are those of personal ex-
perience. and Messrs. Worst and Harris
now have nor reason for the faith that
is in them than ever before.

IT is hoped the country people-re-
publicans-will stand solidly for the re-
publican ticket next Tuesday. The city
has been charged with treachery hereto
fore-it has been said the city people
cut the country candidates. That is not
80. Notwithstanding the fact that in
all towns the percentage of democrats is
larger than in the country, Bismarck
has nearly always given the republican
ticket a greater percentage of her vote
than has the country. For instance in
1890 when Oscar Ward ran for the legis-
lature, he received 50 per cent. of the
total vote in the city and only "A per
cent. of the total vote IN the country,
and Tyler for auditor, Notwithstanding
the candidacy of Avery, also republican
and Dietrich, democrat, both residents
OF the city-with all this complication
the city was only 10 per cent. behind the
country. And when AL Beal, who was
considered the country's candidate ran
for sheriff against Frank Donnelly two
years ago, the city gave him just so
per cent. of her total vote and the coun-
try gave him but 43 per cent. of her vote.
The country elected a democratic
sheriff, and in every instance where
"knifing" has been done the country has
had the sharpest blade. The TRIBUNE
speaks of this just to remind it's country
readers of the facts and to dispel a popu.
lar belief in the country that the city
people are not true to the ticket. We
are now on the eve of another election.

The election of Cleveland or Harrison
will make no difference in the price of
wheat. So long as there is a vast sur
plus the price will be low. The only
reason the export trade is not greater is
because of the fact that foreign labor is
80 poorly paid it cannot afford the
luxury of American wheat. Thousands
upon thousands of foreign laborers live
upon rye bread and never have meat to
eat. Even though the price of wheat is
fixed in Liverpool, it is infinitely better
for the American farmer that the bulk
of his product is consumed in the United
States, because the money paid there.
for rem aims in this country. The nearer
the manufacturer comes to the producer
the better for both, because of the saw
ing in transportation cost. If it would
be a good thing for the Burleigh county
farmer to have enough manufacturing
institutions located in Bismarck to con
sumo all the wheat raised in this county
thus saving the expense of transporta-
tion-is 1t not equally beneficial for the
country at large to build up home
manufactures to consume the bulk of
the farmers products? The home mar
ket is the best market. Years ago when
the great industries of the country were
in their infancy, the farmers found little
sale for his products. There was a
system of exchange. The farmer had
fewer of the luxuries of life then than
now. Let every old New England
farmer look back to his early childhood
and compare his advantages, oppor-
tunities and condition with those of his
children now coming upon the stage Of
action. A nations greatness depends
not upon agriculture alone, but upon the
development of manufacturing and
diversified industry. The United States
is all right, thanks to the sagacity and
craftsmanship of republican administra-
tions, and the beneficial effects of the
Mckinley bill will be felt more and
more as time passes by.

Mr.. Shortridge denies that he was a
guerrilla during the war, and has re-
pehtedly said he was a neutral. He also
invited investigation as to his course
during the war, and inquiry being made
five reputable citizens of the county
where he lived have joined the following
statement which explains itself:
Know all men by these Presents:
That we, the undersigned citizens of
Macon, Macon county, Missouri, state that
we We're we'll and intimately acquainted

time, and used his influence to have the

Compare this record with that of Gov.

the war. Remember, also, the sentiment
recently expressed by the Independent

the bloodiest guerrilla of the war he
would be preferable to Burke, and do
not forget that Ferguson, who tied his
prisoners to a tree and cut the throats of
twenty-five at n time with his own
hand, and Quantrell, who sacked and
burned villages, murdered women and
children, and ravished the wives and
mothers of union soldiers, and the James

A Bit of Fair History.

With the Windham county fair taking a
new lease Of life the time is a good one to
recall an interesting paragraph Of history,
picked up on the grounds, from some Of
the old-timers whose memory goes back to
the "fortics.' The first Newfane fair was
held in 1913. in the west part of the town,
at the Warren Cushing schOolhouse. At
the close Moses Rice moved that another
fair be held next year in what is now New
fame village. The motion was carried and
this was the beginning of the Windham
county fair. In 1874 the fair was held on
what is now Newfane common, temporary
pens for the stock being erected, the meet
ing-house being used for the address and
the schoolhouse for the floral hall display.
Charles X. Field was the president. There
was no admission fee, and the funds for
premiums and other expenses were raised
from annual memberships of 81. Field :
meadow was used for the blowing contest.
The horse-trottng was from the covered
bridge up through the village street. In
this way the fair was held at Newfane UNI
til 1853, with the exception of one year,
1850, when it went to Brattleboro. For
four years, from 1853 to 1857, it was held
at Westminster, then the grounds at New
fame on the river were bought and there it
was held until 1889. This year it comes
back to the village, and long may it and
the village live and prosper.
