did not wish to prejudice the case in the
minds of the people. The TRIBUNE
could have published much that would
have been damaging to Mr.. Healy but it
did not deem it proper to do so while the
case was in court. On the other hand
Moffet's paper has endeavored in every
way to handicap the state in the prose-
cution. The prosecution against Healy
was not personal. 1t was the state, not
an individual or a corporation, that
carried on the prosecution. Mr.. Healy
was charged with a crime against the
election laws of this state and was held
to answer the same as any other law
breaker should b. held accountable.
The charge that the prosecution against
him was a 'pnt up job" or conspiracy"
is absolutely false, else it would have
been unearthed and exposed long ago.

A RECENT issue Of the Bottineau

A RECENT issue of the Bottineau Pho.
neer contained a three column write-ur
of the financial methods of E. Ashley
Mears, the financial wizard of North
Dakota. AS is we'll known Mr.. Mears is
the managing owner of a large number
of national and state banks in the state
is the president of a number of side
companies for guaranteeing titles, insur.
ing, guaranteeing the fidelity of employ.
ees and kindred enterprises. Editor
Bennett attacks his methods and calls
upon the public examiner, both state
and national, to take c%ognizance of his
remarks. If the half that the Pioneer
says is true the place for Mr.. Mears is
outside of the financial operations OF
North Dakota. If true the state ewes it
to itself to have him suppressed as be-
ing harmful to the people at large in
this: there will be a financial crash some
day that will shake North Dakota from
Red river to Bad lands, from the 46th
parallel to the Manitoba line. If un-
true, Mr.. Mears likewise owes it to him
self to have the same righted and the
Pioneer retract the apparently libelous
statements.

THE action of the Northern Pacific
road in SO promptly settling with the
victims of the late accident east of Balm
erd to the Andrews Opera company, is
meeting with very favorable comments
from the press of the country. There
was quite a grave question in the minds
of able lawyers whether the company
was liable or not, but this made no diff.
ference to the officials of the road.
While in their charge persons had met
with a. accident and they proposed tc
repay the damage so far as money would
do SO. This, however, is simply on a
par with all the acts of the Northern
Paciic-broad-guaged and giving their
patrons the best of everything.

THE tactics of the supporters of
Healy, eve since his trial began, have
been to prejudice the people, particu-
larly those living outside of the city,
against the prosecution. It has been
represented as a "put up job" and 'con-
spiracy," andthe most outrageous misrep-
RESERVATIONS have been made. MI. Moffet,
in his paper, has however, made the
most consummate ass of himself-with
Betsey's grooming. Week after week
the readers of that paper have been in
suited with column after column of al
legged OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES written
by Gray, Moffet and other members OF
the local bureau, and credited to some
outside correspondent. The names OF
the authors have not been published OF
course, and in several instances articles
have been written in Bismarck and for
warded to friends" in the country fol-
their signature and assumed paternity.
The TRIBUNE has had little to say about
the Healy case since the trial began, for
the a that it desired Mr.. Healy to
have q fair and impartial trial, and il

Hansbrough might have been good at

DURING the lasc two years of the
Cleveland administration patents were
issued to agricultural settlers to the
number of 44,443. During the years
1890 and 1891 patents were issued to
agricultural settlers under the Harrison
administration to the number Of 231, 607.
The difference here-187, 164-is a shin
ing illustration Of the difference that ex-
lists between the democratic and repub-
lican parties in their attitude towards
the west. The democratic party under
Cleveland and Sparks openly charged
that the settlers of the entire western
country, from the Missouri to the sea,
we're a lot of swindling landgrabbers,
and accordingly they never issued a
patent until it was pulled from them by
main force on an appeal to the courts.
The republican land commissioners have,
on the other hand, assumed that the
farmers of the west, who were building
up new and great empires on virgin soil,
were men OF integrity and character
until the contrary as to individual cases
wal proved. There is not a farmer west
Of the Ohio river who would vote the
democratic ticket if he fairly understood

Senator Casey the first petition from
North Dakota favoring the Washburn
option bill has been presented. It was
signed by Hon. J. S. Weiser and others
of Valley City. The Washburn bill is
now before the committee and on the
theory and with the idea that it will be
a good thing for the. farmer a strong in.
huence will be brought in favor of it.
The reason the farmer favors it, is pure
selfshness, not patriotism. He is told
that by doing away with speculation
and wheat gambling he will get a higher
price for his grain; that if no one be al
lowed to sell grain unless he has it to
sell the producer would be master OF
the situation. The bill so provides.
This would do away with speculation in
futures" But would this create q
greater mari et for wheat? AS long as
there is speculation in 1t the market fol-
wheat is limitless and inasmuch as Just
as much money is made on a rising market
as a falling market-just us much in it
