The Fargo Argus says: M. Shirley,
the local editor of Normanden, called at
The Argus office yesterday, and stated
that he had recently been on a trip
through McHenry, Ward, Nelson, Grand
Forks and Cass counties. He had
talked with the Scandinavians, and he
found them almost unanimously opposed
to Congressman M. N. johnson on ac-
count of his vote against the Bland
silver bill. "In fact" said Nj. Shirley,
II found only one Scandinavian, and he
was q preacher, who favored Johnson's
election" It is well-known that The
Normanden is fighting johnson, and
hence Mr.. Shirley's statement ought
perhaps to be taken with several grains
Of allowance. Congressman Johnson's
vote against the Bland bill is one of the
most creditable actions of his whole pub
lie life, and The Argus cannot believe
that it will injure his prospects on the
whole. II certainly ought not to do 80.
We believe that the Scandinavian voters
are more intelligent than The Norman

The senate has passed a bill establish
ing a military post at Helena, and ap-
propriating 100000 therefor. 1t is not
likely the bill will pass the house for the
reason that no good excuse can be given
forit. If the reasons for maintaining Fort
Lincoln, at the crossing of the Missouri
river by the Northern Pacific railroad
were not sufficiently strong to hold the
post, then certainly the Helena project
will fail. Fort Lincoln was the proper
place for the storage of supplies and the
massing Of surplus troops. The
country is at peace and the only disturb
ing element is the Indian question. Fort
Lincoln was within one days journey
via boat, of 5000 Indians, and two days
via boat and rail would take a regiment
Of soldiers to a possible disturbance
among Indians anywhere IN the north
west. Fort Lincoln was an excellent
distributing point, considered by mill
tary men generally as the most strategic
point in the whole Indian country. The
Indians are now permanently located on
agencies, and the most important of
these agencies are on the Missouri
river. Here are located the remnants of
the Sioux, the last tribe to submit to
agency life. These head warriors are
now only sixty-fve miles from Fort
Lincoln. The Helena scheme is purely
political. The largest military post out
side of Fort Smelling in the northwest
ought to be at the crossing of the two
greatest tr~anscontinental thoroughfares
the Northern Pacific and Missouri
river,

The constitutional convention wisely
concluded to keep politics out of educa-
lonal matters, and for that reason
school district officers and county super
intendents of schools were made cleo
tive in June. No party convention is
called to nominate county superintend-
ents. Candidates simply announce
themselves. There is not a party nomi-
nation in the state and in nearly every
district the present incumbent is seeking
reelection, and in most instances there
seems to be little or no opposition. It
is we'll that this sentiment prevails for it
is undoubtedly true that the experience
of one term fits a superintendent for
much more valuable work during
another term. The more experience one
hes had in educational matters the better
fitted he is for office. .

Col. FRED P. WRIGHT, of the we'll
known paper house of Wright, Barrett
& Stillwell, has been nominated by the
republicans for mayor of st. Paul.
Northwestern newspaper men cannot
vote for Colonel Wright, but they will
say a good word for him, just the same,
which will have a little weight with the
business men of that wicked city. It is
hardly possible for a good republican to
be elected IN such a democratic strong
hold as St. Paul, but this is a presiden-
tial year and the better element, always
ina majority everywhere if it can, only be
aroused, may get a o on itself and
redeem st. Paul from misrule.

Is IT not enough to declare in the
Arizona funding act, or in any bond or
mortgage chat the interest shal} be pay
able in "lawful money of the United

become distrustful of the government?
Who knows what may be deemed the

100 years hence? It was not %unrepubli-

eminent, being a government by and for
the people may be depended upon to see
that "lawful money" is of the right kind.
The TRIBUNE does not believe in the
"gold clauses, in mortgages and the
TRIBUNE is by no means in favor of free
silver either. When Senator Hans
brough voted for 'lawful money Of the
United States" in the interest clause of

instead of by mistake, as has been re-
ported by the jokers of. newspaper row.

The Dickinson Recorder thinks the
statement that "with any amount of evil
dence to prove the violation Of the pro.
hibltion law in the Klinefelter case, still
the jury found the defendant" does
Dickinson an injustice. The Recorder
denies that there was a ''court. room full
of liquors." 1t says there were only
sever bottles of "alleged" whisky and
brandy, and none of the experts could
swear positively as to the contents. The
TRIBUNE is glad to make the correction.
It is likely a liquor seller can be con-
victed in Dickinson just as easily a in
Mandan or Bismarck.

In advocating the selection Of Colonel
Robinson of Trail, as asdelegate to the
Minneapolis convention, the Mayville
Tribune very forcibly says: ut may be
ages before another national convention
is held at our very doors as it we're, and
our idea is that men of tact and energy,
capable of creating a favorable i'm
preston, with the and capa-
bilities of our state at their finger tips,
a do much to brush aside the web of
misinformation and tissue of lies that
envelopes the eastern mind to it's own
disadvantage in not compromising this
glorious field for investment. We want
good men at the Minneapolis convention,
typical men, whose very appearance will
dispel the impression that North Da-
kota is a country wherein dwells and fit
only for tumble-weeds and Eskimos."

EDITOR BR1TToN Of the Edgeley SEN
tinel, who is a delegate to Grand Forks

favor of Mckinley for president. He
would be no improvement on Harrison.
The present administration has been a
wise, patriotic and safe one, and unless it
be Blaine the republicans OF the United
States would enthuse as much over the
denomination of Harrison as any other
republican in the country. II there are
reasons why he should not be renomi-
nated-if there are stronger men in the
party-the west is not aware Of it. These

are matters that the Minneapolis conven-
ton only can decide.

IT is very seldom, says the jamestown
Alert, that a gathering of farmers in
any state has any words of praise for a
railroad company, but in LaMoure coun-
ty a recent farmers alliance meeting re-
versed the record, and passed resolutions
commencing certain actions OF the
Northern Pacific railroad. Farmers are
not always the unreasonable people they
are often alleged to be, continues the
Alert. The Northern Pacific has been
making great strides towards securing
the friendship of the farmers in this
state, and time will show that such
friendship is worth having.

PROF. ALBERT A. POPE of Boston,
Mass, sends out a circular advocating a
comprehensive exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, Of improved roads and road-making
machinery. There is no question of
greater interest or more general concern
to the people than that of improved
roads and we'll it may be said that the
present condition of the highways of the

ing the question of better roads prom
inently before the people in the way of

A GREAT many persons complain be-

"A GREAT many persons complain be-
cause of the rule of railrc ad companies
against passengers riding on freight
trains. Particularly is it the case:in this
state and many are disposed to crlticise
such action on the part of the railroad
companies. When the provisions of the
statutes in this state are taken into con-
sheraton the reason or the rule is quite
plain. Fare paid by a passenger imposes
certain duties on the part of the railroad
company. Section 3,01O Of the compiled
laws reads as follows: "When fare is
taken by any railroad corporation, for
transporting passengers on any mixed
train of passenger and freight cars or on
any baggage, wood, gravel or freight car,
the same care must be taken and the
same responsibility and duties are as
sumed by the corporation as for passen-
gers On passenger cars, OF course
there is a greater percentage of acct
dents to freight trains than to passenger
trains and as the company is just as
liable for accidents to passengers on
freight as on passenger coaches, very
naturally and very properly the company
objects to passengers riding on freight
trains. It is simply and purely as an
accommodation to the public that the
rule is violated in any instance.

The nomination Of Harrison at the
Minneapolis convention is almost a FORE
gone conclusion. He will most likely
be nominated. In the light of this Ed
tor Moffet's dispatch in the Pioneer
Press, that Bismarck had elected a solid
Harrison delegation, is quite ridiculous.
However, no more nonsensical thar the
i%nstructing of delegates to vote for Har-
rison at the Minneapolis convention. 1t
would seem that a convention which is
overwhelmingly for Harrison would
hardly select men so weak as to need a
hitching strap of that kind. The TR1B-
N does rot believes in instructions, but
on the contrary believe in electing dele
gates who are all right-who can be der
pended upon to do the proper thing
without instructions. Speaking Of this
same matter the st. Paul News says:
The delegates who are to come up to
Minneapolis in June, will come as free
men, except those who are tied up to
General Alger and ex-Minister to China
Blair. That is to say, s 70 far as state
conventions have been held. the matter
of selecting a candidate for president
has been left to the judgment and con-
sciences of the delegates. The expert
ment has been tried of %instructing dele.
gates, from 1860, down to 1888, and in all
cases of pronounced rivalry has failed to
accomplish the object. If instructions
had prevailed Mr.. Lincoln would not
have been nominated. Mr.. Conklin's
tenacity for instructions drove him out
of public life and MI. Sherman has
suffered great unhappiness from the
same reason. Sensible as the method is,
there are those who interpret it as hos
tility to, giving Mr.. Harrison a second
term. In some part it may be, but
nevertheless it is as wise a stroke of
politics as any party has undertaken,
and his the appreciation of the more
thoughtful men of all parties.
