heavy blows upon the little delinquent, who is
often at a loss to understand the cause of such
excessive rage.
Some years ago, the writer of these lines
had an opportunity of witnessing a scene Of
this description. He was quietly riding into
all estates village, when he heard before him
acry, as of a child undergoing some severe
bodily torture. On coming nearer he beheld
a mother knechng upon a child, choking, fist
ing and boxing the poor little creature in q
most furious manner. He instantly leaped
from his horse, and with some difficulty sue.
ceedea in appeasiIg the fury Of this tigress
. incarna'e, r%escuing the almost exhausted child
from her hands. Upon enquiry, it was found
ont HAT the child had neglected to perform at
the proper time, some little ordinary domestic
duty.
a few mornings ago, going along the streets
We heard the wailing OF a child. Presently a
woman came up, ana before hor a little girl,
her child, her two hands tightly lashed toge-
thcr around the wrist. The child had run
away from her, and this was a part of the
punishment for the offence
Is it any wonder that children trained in
this way should grow up without any
feeling? Is it possible that they can have
much Of that kindly and gentle nature which
is So highly pleasing to see?

We suppose the schoolmaster to be one of the

child and to accomplish this really difficult
task. he ought studiously to avoid the use of
any means that would be likely to defeat his

debate upon its merits OF dement's, Mr..
Skinner arose and made his maiden
speech before the assembly against the
bill. Although his maiden effort was
Il strong and convincing one, and while
before his speech the bill was. almost
certain of being passed, such effect had
it upon his hearers, that when the vote
was taken, the bill was defcated and
the school lands were preserved for
their intended use, even though several
strong speeches were made by its pro.
moters in its favor, and every effort
was made by experienced .cl,;lmpions
to rush it through. So much for Mr..

MIR. Skinner helped draft the bill

build platforms ut stations, upon peti-
tion of ten shippers, from which the
farmers might load their wheat into

the railroads, but by hard work upon
the part of II few, Mr.. Skinner among
the number, the bill was passed by the
house, bu: TO be defeated by the senate.

Mr.. Skinner also opposed by his vote

A GOOD RECORD.
or1e1 summing up of the legislative Skinner
serving the people of the 18th past years.
PERTINENT, UNDISPUTABLE FACTS

At this stage of the campaign it
would not be out of. place to make
known to the people of the 10th legls-
lative district, who are not already
cognlzant of the facts of the good work
and spotless record of Hon. w. j. Skin.
ner, the republican nominee of Steele
county to represent her people in the
next legislature, while he was their re-
preventative in the .ate assembly. MIR.
Skinner comes before the people for re-
election solely OIL the merits of his past
record, and a brief history of that legis.
lative record and experience may help
TO put the matter of the priority OF his
claim upon the voters of this district
for their suffrage at the polls OH Nov
ember S!h, in the proper light.
In the hrst place, during the early
part OF the last regular session of the
state legislature, a bill was introduced
| in that assembly asking the donation of
school sections to the different state
institutions of several counties of the
state-other than that for which they
were intended. A strong combine had
been formed by the different counties;
viz: Cass, Traill, Grand Forks, Morton,
Stutsman, Barnes, Ramsey and Rich
land, to force the bill through if their
representatives were enabled 10 do so
by any means. Right here it should be
known to the people, that the school
lands are a gift from the United States
government to the state of North Da
kota, and the intention is that the pro-
ceeds of the rental or sale of such lands
are to be divided, in proportion to the
school po .)ulation, to the several coun-
ties of the state, and from thence 90 to
the different school districts in the
counties. Such 4 provision is magni-
ficent one to the struggling public
schools Of the statcand helps largely to
max the school system of North Dako-
tn among the best in the Union.44 Not
only does it help largely to maintain
our schools at present, bHt these school
lands, chosen from among the best of
the state, are increasing in value year
by year, and it is claimed upon good
authority that before many years the
proceeds from such lands will entlrely
maintain the public schools of the state.
This bill of which we have spokcn was
introduced for no other purpose than
that of stealing these lands from the
schools of the state and of appropriate
ing them to the use of institutions in
the counties named-wholly apart from
the public schools, and for the sole ben
eft of these counties. After the bill

The independent county ticket has
been recommended to the voters of
Griggs county by the independent
leaders as being .tmen entirely in
sympathy with the independent
movement, and that the opposition
to them is because they are farmers"
from Mr.. McCulloch's ad-
dress. Let us see. Messrs. Rollef
Berg, O. D. Purinton, David
Bartlett. p. r. Nelson, T. F. Kerr
and Halvor Arestad are great farm
ers entirely in sympathy with the in
movement. Farmers do
not have the wool pulled over your
eyes in this manner. With but two
exceptions the independent ticket is
the same as the republican county
ticket. Vote the republican ticket,
the candidates are just as good farm
ers as the independent candidates.

is the nominee of the republicans for
the legislature from Griggs county. Mr.,
Blackwell has been II resident Of Coop.
erstown for aboutS years and during
that time, thought always an active and
hardworking republican. has always
refused to become candidate for any
position himself. This fall the republi
cans of Griggs county UNANIMOUSLY de.
manded that he permit his name to be
used as u candidate for the legislature.
MIR. Blackwell finally yielded and in
placing his name before the voters of
tins legislative district. the republican
party have put one of their ceanest
and ablest men to the front. During
his residence in Griggs county, he has
won the confidence and esteem of every
man who has become acquainted with
him. He is a man of strictly temper
ate habits, of high moral character and
unimpeachable integrity. He is quiet
but an earnest and hard worker in any
cause he undertakes. Hundreds of
farmers in Griggs county Can testify to
his generosity and nnselishness. He
has shipped hundreds of cars of wheat
for the farmers in his county, doing the
correspondence and attending to the
remittance for them for which he would
never accept cent of pay. He has
been largely instrumental in securing
from the railroad company an abund,
ance of cars for farmers to ship their
own grain. Mr.. Blackwell's warmest
friends and strongest supporters are
those who know him most intimately
If elected the people of Griggs and
Steele counties will have q man in the
legislature they can justly be proud of.
Mr.. Blackwell is q Dakotaian and be.
lieves in the integrity, honesty and
prosperity of its citizens. He is proud of
his state and her people.
