In the recent election at Lockport, N
Y, the voting was done by mean of the
Myers voting machine-the same kind
as was on exhibition in Bismarck during
the legislature of 1889. This machine
has been put to practical test in many
cities and is pronounced a success in
every particular. It affords absolute
secrecy and it is impossible to falsify
the returns. AS soon as the polls close
and the machine is opened the total vote
cast for each candidate is registered and
cannot be changed. It does away with
crooked returning boards and needs
only n or two judges to open and close
the lid of the machine for each voter.
The voting is very simple. The name of
the candidate and the ticket he is on is
printed in plain letters on each key, and
the vote has only to pass the button, as
it were, and the machine does the rest.
The machine cannot he cheated, for when
pressed, the kay remains down until the
lid is closed and opened again TO
another voter. It is believed the ma.
chine will come into general use a. soon
as the prejudice against the new mode
wears away. It is an improvement on
the Australian system.

The Fargo Argus ought to feel COM
plimented if items have been clipped
from its columns by the Bismarck TB1B-
UNE, even if m was published without
credit. The TRIBUNE endeavors to be
very careful to give credit for important
items, especially editorial opinions, but
it is not at all aggravated when other pa
pers clip from it's columns. If the TR1B-
uNE was as "touchy' as the Argus it
would have registered a vigorous kick
on several occasions when the Arges
credited to the TRIBUNE articles taken
from some other paper.

TIE Minneapolis Journal says: "Gov-
ernor Burke of North Dakota, has re-
turned home from Hot Springs, Ark, a
we'll man. He went there a pretty sick
man about two months ago, but he ap-
pears now to be in perfect health and
says he feels that way. He has refused
to say a word about his plans political
whether he will be a candidate for re-
election or not-but he talks somewhat
more freely about the general situation.
There we're quite a number of prominent
politicians at the springs, and he says
there is no doubt that a great many Of
the leading politicians in the republican
party look upon the denomination of
President Harrison as unwise. The
governor thought North Dakota would
do as South Dakota has done-send a
Harrison delegation to Minneapolis.
North Dakota is under special obliga-
tons to the president and owes him her
support, but will not insist upon his
nomination if it should appear to be un-
wise to place him at the head Of the
ticket for another race"

The United States has been charged
with having assisted the Balmaceda fac
ton in Chill, and the Fargo Forum
heads a telegraph item to that effect "a
Serious Charge" Suppose the United
States did favor Balmaceda; wasn't it
right? Balmaceda was the governor.
Those who overthrow the government
we're officers in the navy and militia.
They we're r~ebels-nothing less, nothing
more-and time has proven that Balma-
ceda was right, and the rebels, who we're
encouraged by English capitalists to
overthrow the government, were wrong.
1t was perfectly proper for the United
States to stand by Balmaceda until he
was overthrown, and another stable gov
eminent established. It was very fortu-
nate for the United States from 1861 to
1865 that the other nations of the earth
did not take up the cause of the rebels,
and it was very proper that the United
States should be consistent.

A RECENT issue of the Atlantic Month
ly contained one of the worst roasts the
climate of the Dakotas ever had. An
Aberdeen man was broken hearted and
mad all through when he read 1t, but
feels better now. He wrote the editor of
the Atlantic to know why he allowed
such a scandalous article to appear, and
received the following reply:
DEAR SIR have your favor of April
in the contributors club should have
awakened so much hard feeling in South
Dakota. Perhaps it is scarcely an accept
able answer to you, but do you not think
that old England has stood pretty we'll all
the disagreeable things that have been
said about her since 1920?

The jamestown Alert thinks there is
a growing feeling throughout the coun-
try against the publication of crop re-
ports on the part of the government, be-
cause it "shows u hand" so to speak,
to the whole world and it is taken ad-
vantage of by Spectators to the disad-
vantage of the producer. This is rather
a Respondent view of the matter. A
man cannot hold himself up by the boot
straps, neither can the government per-
form that feat. There can be no harm
co me from the faithful and honest ex-
hiblt of the products of our toll and the
Alert is unduly excited about this mat
ter.

THE Fargo Arons thinks that Statisti.

THE Fargo Argus thinks that Statisti-
clan Dodge has completely knocked the
wind out of the St. Louis cotton ex-
change resolutions and the arguments
of the jamestown alert in relation to
condemning the publication of crop sta
tistics. Statistician Dodge says the OBJ
lection is puerile and unworthy the in
telligence of a commercial organization.
Last Monday, says the Argus, afforded
an object lesson in REPUTATION of the
charge that it is the statistical reports
which depress prices, in the fact that on
the Chicago board noted speculator was
able to pound down the price of wheat
five cents a bushel in the face of a gov
eminent report, showing a loss of four
or five per cent. in the condition of win
ter wheat. The government reports are
all right if the statisticians will always
be careful to give facts and not bun
combe estimates. And the Grand Forks
Herald OF this same subject says:
'"There is a growing feeling throughout
the country that the publication of the
government crop reports is the most
valuable feature of official statistical in
formation that is given to the public in
this age of general intelligence among
the masses. In the opinion Of, most
well-informed people the reports are very
! argely the results of conscientious Of
fort to secure accurate and reliable in
formation in this most important field of
agricultural industry. Doubtless the
Alert is aware that occasionally conserv-
alive old fogies in the backwoods refuse
to answer the interrogatories Of the GEN.

THOUSANDS of home-seekers have been
disappointed with the Sisseton reserva-
ton lands, and hundreds who fled will
desert their claims and look elsewhere.
Come to North Dakota, is the cry of the
state press and the following from the
Grand Forks Herald is in good time
and to the point: "The indiscriminate
haste attending the pell-mell rush for
claims precluded the possibility of Sc
Letting land with the slightest degree of
care. It was simply a headlong, break
neck race to get there first, and locate
on some quarter section that some other
fellow had failed to reach sooner. Those
who led the race ran the farthest and
took up with the quarter that they found
themselves upon when they were too ex-
hausted to run further. Hundreds Of
settlers doubtless rushed over and across
land of much better quality than that
upon which they dropped down and
finally located. The result of this
"grand opening" will be that many of
the Sisseton boomers will find them
selves sorely disappointed and will ere
long realize that they have utilized to
very poor purpose their right to file
upon government land. They will
learn after it is too late to benefit
by the discovery that their filings
would have been much more WISE
ly and proitably located had they gone
elsewhere and exercised care in selection
before filing. Those who really value
their rights under the land law can i'll
afford to fritter them away as many Of
the Sisseton boomers have done. These
rights once exercised are gone. Land
prospectors and home-seekers will ind
in numerous counties of North Dakota
vacant lands Of quality and location un-
excelled, where every facility is offered
for fully investigating the nature and
disturbances Of land before entry is
made. The home-seeker can find employ
ment also, at reasonable remuneration,
while getting his bearings and acquaint-
ing himself with the characteristics Of

The reports that any serious differ
ences exist between President Harrison
and M. S. Quay are probably unfounded.
No man, no hundred men, no thousand
men in all these United States did more
for President Harrison's success-con-
tributed more time, money, or valuable
ideas and suggestions-than Matt Quay
of Pennsylvania. The republicans can
not afford to snub such men. Quay
came from good old Presbyterian stock,
is popular where he lives, always carries
his counties for anything he wants, and
the great keystone state loves him.
Such a man is not a bad a man, and such
a man ought to be appreciated.

grain if properly stacked will not turn
all the rain that may fall upon it. The
Grand Forks Herald speaks of this mat
ter as follows:
The Herald, after visiting many districts
in the Red River valley where wheat has
been exposed to the element, and inter
viewing representative farmers, is pleased
to state that the condition is not so bad as
reports go to show. While a great deal of
grain will be lost, still there are many
stacks that car almost be entirely saved.
1t is only the wheat located where the
water was overlooked that will be con-
sidered unfit for use. A great many farm
ers will spread the stacks after blowing
and let the dry the sheayes, which, it
is claimed, will be the safest way of saw
ing that which is not entirely ruined. Hon.
j. W. Scott of Gilby, who is considered
pretty good authority as a successful yeo-
man, gave substantially the same opinion
as above. The only thing that seems to
bother the farmer now, is the lateness of
seeding. If the weather of the last two or
three days continues, however, all will be
we'll yet. There isn't the least doubt en-
tertained but that there will be another
immense yield this year, as every indica-
ton Is more favorable than last season.

WHEN congress years ago gave the
Northern Pacific a great land grant
through a then unpopulated and unde-
veloped country, says the jamestown
Alert, there was no reservation about
what was on the land, or under it. The
company has fulfilled it's part of the
contract, and the efforts to deprive it of
valuable lands that have since been
found to contain mineral deposits ought
to fail. The company took the lands for
better or worse-now let the government
live up to it's agreement.

The attempt of the Minneapolis Trib

The attempt of the Minneapolis Trib-
une to rob Mr.. Blaine of the credit Of
the reciprocity feature of the republican
tariff measure displeases the Journal,
which says: "The Tribune falls back
upon the New York Press az 'one of the
foremost republican authorities of
America as to the statement that Major
Mckinley included reciprocity in his
measure Well, as a matter of solid fact
and record, Mckinley opposed reciproci-
ty and would have excluded it had he
possessed the power. His speeches in
1890 emphasized his hostility to opening
up foreign markets. And the reciproci-
ty clause of the tariff act of 1890 is &C.
knowledged to be the vital clause of the
bill by the republican party. The Trib.
une itself rarely refers to anything else in
the act of 1890. And such an, authority
as the New York Press, the extract
which the Tribune quoted, refers to reel
procity as the sum and substance Of the
Mckinley bill. What the Journal OBJ
jects to is the persistent attempt of the
Tribune and the New York Press to
make people believe that the reciprocity
clause was the feature of the act very
dear to Major McKinley's heart. Such
Misrepresentation is useless. The people
know better, and they know that if it
had not been for Blaine there would
have been no reciprocity clause in the
bill for the Tribune and other anti
Blaine papers to credit to somebody
else.".

that the finding of America should be
celebrated everywhere in America, and
makes the further suggestion that this
universal celebration be systematic, per-
vaded as far as possible by a single idea
of leading national significance. The
address accordingly proposes that the
most representative institution-the
public school-be everywhere the centre
of the local celebration. This commit
tee will also, through state superintend-
ents of education, solicit the governors

IT is likely the reports sent out from
