IT is noticed that both Senators Hans
brough and Roach voted-not for a
compromise measure, but for Peffer's
absolute free silver (Which would mean
silver standard monometallism) amend
ment. In doing this they voted against
the best interests of their state and con-
trary to the sentiment of their constit-
uents. The proportion of substantial
business men and farmers who favor
cheap and dishonest money is indeed
very small in North Dakota, and our
senators are mistaken if they think the
people of this state are ~innoculated with
either the free trade or free silver heresy.
Senator Roach has already heard from
the farmers of Trail county and in re.
ply to their resolution in favor of the re-
peal of the Sherman law were politely
informed by the accidental senator that
they didn't know what was good for 'em.
North Dakotans are not yet quite ready
to enroll themselves under the banner
of dishonest money aud other wildcat.

WORLDS FAIR awards in cereals have
been made public. Wisconsin got 232
awards out of over 1000 entries; Mime.
sofa, 206 out of about 400; Iowa, GO out
of about 400 entries; South Dakota, 8.
Minnesota secured one prize for every

sofa gets lob awards, in oats %, corr 80,
barley 8, rye 6, buckwheat %, grasses 8,

grass l. This suggests the query:
"Where is-or was-North Dakota at?"
Knowing very we'll that this state had
as fine a display of grains and grasses as
any at tho fair the people of North Da-
kota'wi]l want to know how it is that we
do not even get a medal-oficial certlfi-
cation of it's excellence. 1t is we'll known
that the Thatcher system of awards
amounts to little, as they do not con-
template comparisonor competition but a
medal signifies that the article for which
it was given was "good," had "merit."
Can it be that our exhibits were not

1T is said that the reason no repub-
lican convention was called in the First
district to nominate q candidate for
county comm missioner, was because of
the death of the chairman of the old
district committee, Mr.. Lawrence, and
oversight on the part of the other re-
publicans of the district. In the absence
OF any regular convention, Mr.. George
"A. WEIGH, a republican and farmer,
living in Teller township, has become a
candidate "by petition" as provided in
the Australian ballot law. As it is too
late now to hold a district convention,
a meeting of the republicans of the
First district has been called for to-mor.
row afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the Athe-
neum, to take such action in regard to
the matter as may be deemed proper.
The only thing this meeting can do, if
party lines are to be drawn or attempted,
is to endorse the candidate who most
nearly represents and endorses the re-
publican principles. Mr.. WEIGH is a re-
publican and has pever been anything
else. He wants the support of the re-
publicans of this district for county
commissioner. He will have it, To-
morrow's meeting, unless all signs fail,
will endorse his candidacy. The other
two candidates, while they are also run
ming "by petition" represent the other
two parties democratic and popullst.

The result OF Saturdays meeting of
republicans is heartily Endorsed by the
outside residents of the district who are
largely republican and see no reason,
when a good republican is a candidate
for office and one is thoroughly qualified
for the position, why he should not be
elected to Office. The Saturday meeting
was in very way a representative n
and voiced the sentiment of the repub-
licans of the city. They will vote for
MI. WEIGH. Republicans all over the
country are voting for republicans this
fall. They are not wandering off after
strange gods as heretofore. The populist
idea has been exploded. There was
nothing in it, and those who left the re.
publican party to experiment with the
new theories advanced by the new Moses
have returned to the old reliable repub-
lican party.

The following splendid tribute to the
republican party and its dignited stand
on the silver question from the Pioneer
Press:
To the republicans of the senate is to be
attributed another wise and patriotic act in
the death blow which they helped to ad-
minister to compromise Oh the silver issue.
We cannot speak in terms of admiration
too strong Of the course of the republican
members through the whole controversy.
They have won golden opinions from the
whole country. They have refused stead
lastly to snatch a party advantage at the
cost of national misfortune. knowing that
a failure to repeal the Sherman act would
certainly cost the democratic party all
chance of winning at an election, they
have nevertheless given it their votes in
favo: of repeal: votes which democratic
disSensiOns make absolutely necessary to
success. Through this whole long fight
they have borne the heaviest part of the
burden imposed bya shiftleSs and insincere
leadership. 1t has seldom happened in our
history that a minority was called on to
play a part so important and played it so
v%aliantly. They followed the same admir-
able policy when every mar of them re-
fused to set down his name as a supporter
of a compromise bill. 1t was, indeed, an
extraordinary confession of weakness and
an equally extraordinary bit of imperti-
hence for any democrat to approach a re-
publican on the subject of compromise.
What has the republican party to do with
that? 1t is interested in helping to get rid
of bad legislation and establish good. But
this compromise scheme was fixed up with.
out reference to its legislative effect. Its
whole purpose and Xcu fer being vas to
enable discordant democrats to get to-
gether. 1t was Matched out by democratic the
steering committee to prevent a total rup-
ture; and when they could not supply
warmth enough to prevent it from being
added, they impIored republicans to sit on
along with them. A beautiful perform
ance. indeed, it would have been, for re-
publicans to pledge themselves to support
a measure not yet introduced, but one
whose terms as far as ascertained were eX.
tremely Objectionable, in order that Mr..
Villas might embrace Mr.. Morgan. and MIR.
VOORHEES, and Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Cleveland
might lie down together, Yet if they had
not done this. the country would by this
time have seen a wholly unsatisfactory ter
mination of the contest, for it needed only
a very few of the votes that republicans
could supply to give this cowardly and tenn
porizing proposition a majority of the SEN
ate. Let the republicans of that body
stand right where they are. They nave
been getting all the glory there is in the
miserable situation of affairs. They have
been converting every doubtful state to
certain republicanism. They have thrown
the democrats into utter heIplessness and
confusion. Not the least eminent of their
services is the death blow that they gave to
the Compromise Cock Robin.

that Representative Picker has gone to

The legislature to elect a successor to
Pettigrew is over a year distant, and
the legislature that will put in Picker
in the place Of Pettigrew is four hun.

THE sudden taking off of Carter Har-
rison removes one of the most remark
able men of the country. He possessed
the elements of popularity among the
common people to such a degree that al
though unusually opposed by the press
for political preferment he invariably
succeeded. He made one of tho best
mayors Chicago aver had and was an
ideal official for Worlds Fair year. He
had the faculty of successfully governing
discordant elements and was an intense
believer in Chicago-and himself.
His self laudation was conspicuous
and his friends encouraged it. It was
really humorous. yet the great
ability of the man, sustained every
boast and it was charged against him as
a popularity instead of u weakness. His
facetious remarks at the laying of the
corner stone of the capitol of North
Dakota at Bismarck, in 1883, will long
be remembered by those who heard them.
Carter Harrison was more than local
he was a national man, one of the best
known and most universally liked.

The jamestown Capital can find
sufficient reason for criticising the popu-
list administration without finding fault,
at this late day, with the expenditure of
money for an exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. 1t would have been a burning
shame and a lasting disgrace1 to the
state not to have been represented at
this great exposition. The state treas
ury may be empty and the states en-
ployes may behind two or three months
with their pay, but this does not change
the fact that the appropriation for the
North Dakota exhibit at the Worlds
Fair was proper and urgent. The state
never made a better investment.

recovery from the catastrophes of the
Hateful year in the financial and bust
ness world is not an immediate posi-
bllity. The great bankruptcies of cor
porations, the collapse Of invest
ment organizations, the failures
OF banks and business houses, have
swept away the financial Of
thousands OF people. Thousands have
to begin life over again, SO to speak.
The panic has struck into the family re-
gime in thousand Of homes and reduced
many lin prosperous circumstances to
penury. From these penetrating cal.
amlties even this country cannot wholly
recover at once. The effects are found
deep down among the people, and while
speculative markets are even now show.
i ng spurts of activity over the better
news from Washington, there are thous-
ands OF unemployed men and women
seeking work aud finding none. And
until counting rooms and factories are
all again in prosperous activity, and
until these unemployed persons find
work, WI shall not have reached normal
conditions. There is plenty of
money piled up in banks, but
W hat is needed is for the money to flow
out in active use, summoning thousands
of the unemployed to activity in new
enterprises and in the revival of IL s
pended projects. 1t may take a little
longer to effect restoration, therefore
because of the magnitude and sharp
ness OF the distress engendered by the
stringency of six months. The demo-
cratic delay in showing the party's
tariff policy has a depressing effect on
manufactures. 1t is not likely that the
party will carry out its threat of "abol-
ishing protection" but until it settles
its actual tariff policy, there will BIZ a re-.
tardation Of manufacturing activity.
