case it were found after conference at
Chicago to be inexpedient to go to
New York for the candidate. An IN
dex to the feeling in most of the north
western states may be had in this. the
declarations in favor of Mr.. Cleve-
land, after allowing for admiration of
a massive personality, having their
chief incentive in the fact that he is
the most forceful and concrete express
sion of the tariff reform issue. No in
sistence upon his name at the expense
of party welfare is intended. 1t is,
however, insisted that the one selected
shall be clearly recognized as fully in
line with the ex-president on this
chiefest issue. There is to be no fall
tering or hesitancy on this point. The
Dakota action means strong proba-
bility that the Western man will be
deemed the most available.-St. Paul
Globe.

Cavalier county, although outside
of the combine and working indus
triously for representation for the
First district, did not fare so badly
in the Democratic state convention.
She was given the first alternate-a
position of no small honor consider
ing that there was only one delegate
and one alternate in the district and
the delegate elected was the unani-
nous choice Of every democrat in
the state. She was also given a
member of the committee or Gre
dentials, member Of the committee
on resolutions and the secretaryship
of the convention. The banner
democratic county of the state must
not be ignored.

WHAT is MEANT?

The Democratic convention in North
Dakota this week gave every evidence
of having behind it all active. harmon
ious and hopeful party. In that state
the Democracy makes its debut into
the arena of national conflict with
most encouraging exhibition of
strength and address. If it does not
carry the state in November it will not
be from supineness. The action in re-
lation to the presidency fully met an
ticipations. Cleveland is the first
choice, with Western man as a close
second. Aspirants who had other fay-
orites we're denied place upon the dele
CATION to Chicago, although in some
instances most jealous workers. No
instructions were given, as it was not
desired to embarrass the delegates in

THE BEHRuNG SEA TROUBLE

The Behrlng Sea trouble ap-
proaches crisis, and the people of
the Northwest should understand its
nature. In brief, the United States
claims that as the successor to the
rights of Russia, it is entitled to the
exclusive privilege of catching seals
within hundred miles of the coast
Of Alaska. England has disputed
our position, and after much nego-
tiation treaty has been concluded
by which the question is to be sub
mitted to the arbitration of neutral
nations. This treaty is now before
the senate. awaiting its ratification.
Ever since this matter has been in
dispute a friendly agreement has
existed between us and Great Britain
for the regulation Of seal fishing in
the North Pacific until final deter
minatlon of the controversy might
be reached. This agreement is the
so-called modus vivendi, OF method
Of getting along until something
better was arrived at. It was pre-
sumed by Mr.. Blaine that when the
arbitration was concluded, the modus
vivendi should continue until the
arbltrators had decided the question.
But Lord Salisbury does not so un-
derstand it, and he now refuses to
consent to any temporary arrange
ment Of this sort. 1t will be more
than year before the verdict of the
arbitrators will be rendered, and
during this interval the entire value
of the fisheries may be destroyed if
poachers are allowed free access to
the grounds. President Harrison
wants the British government to CO.
operate with us in patrolling the
Behring sea and apprehending ma
rauders who may kill the young
seals, or interfere with the breeding.
This it is not willing to do. r. it
insists, we may have to undertake
the work by ourselves, and in it's
prosecution have to capture vessels
flying the British flag. A step of
this sort may bring on hostilities at
any moment, and yet, if we stand
back, any decision which the board
of arbitration may give in our favor
will amount to nothing, because no
seals will be left within the hundred
mile limit for us to catch. The
United States is thus in position
Of grave complexity. On the one
side is the destruction of the seal
fisheries. On the other the posi-
bility of a war with England. This
is indeed an occasion for wisdom
and diplomacy.-St. Paul Globe.

NORTH DAKOTA. THURSDAY MARCH 81 1892

That tender, budding little tootsy
wootsy Of American industry, the
cordagc trust, has ordered an ad-
vance of three cents a pound on

papers do not whisper it. They con-
fine their vociferation to wrathful
howls at the insolence and prcsump-
tion of young Bryan, who has in
troduced bill to place binding
twine on the free list.-Fargo Sun.

The republicans are beginning to
realize the seriousness of the situa-
ton IN North Dakota and are pre-
pairing to take prompt measures to
suppress the detection in their ranks.
The Farmers Alliance has made
serious inroads in the ranks of the
Scandinavian element of the repub-
lican party-in fact so great that
there is every possibility of defeat
ing the republicans at the polls in
coming election. The party mana
gers have therefore secured consid-
erable Doodle to buy up the agencies
now at work disrupting the party.
This is apparent from the following
article received by the COURIER
DEMOCRAT which we publish to
speak for itself:
