the boy is turning the grindstone. This
is one ct the tauses of boys leaving the

Don't expect the boy to keep up with
you and the hired men and carry water

Don't expect the boy to maintain an

Don't give the boy lamb OF calf to

Don't continue to treat the boy as II he

Don't rave and storm because the boy
wants some time to tinker; he may be

Don't tell the boy that he can go hunt

The Argus says that 1.-THE republican
party is rot a prohibition party" Per-
haps some of the would-be leaders are
not but a large majority of the republi-
cans of North Dakota are in favor of
maintaining the prohibitory law, and the
political party which ignores or opposes
that issue will suffer dire defeat. Let the
republican party of North Dakota fear
lessly declare its opposition to a repeal of
the liquor law and demand its enforce
ment, and the wandering republicans
and the state will be redeemed.
After the object lesson In Iowa, can
anything be more silly than such Ian
guage as the abovef As long as the re-
publieans of the Hawkeye State endorsed
prohibition they met defeat, and the first
year that they threw it aside they won.
The Missouri Slope, although it gave a
strong majority against prohibition, also
had good-sized vote in favor of the
same. But the Record believes that, if a
chance were given to again vote on the
measure, it would be shown that the
people of the Slope counties are practi-
cally unit IN opposition TO the measure.
As there was q majority of only eleven
hundred and something for the pernicious
appetite law, the Record believes that
there would be an increase in the Slope
majority sufficient to overcome the state
majority Of 1889. And, after the experl-
ence that other sections of the state have
had, is it not reasonable to suppose that
the prohibitory idea has lost ground gen
erally7 In Emmons county the vote was
108 for to 347 against. The Record has
heard number of good, conscientious
teetotalers--men who voted with the 108
for prohibition-+declare that next time
they would favor high license. In fact,
we do not believe that fifty voters in this
county would now vote for prohibition.
And why, in the light of experience,
should any one in any county favor its

Washington, Dec. 19.-United States
M; rshal Donahower handed in his res
ignation to Attorney General Olnoy this
morning, to take effect Dec. 81, 1893.
Col. Donanower arrived in Washington
last Friday evening and intended to pre-
sent his resignation Saturday, but the
attorney general could not be seen on
that day. The marshal came here for
the purpose of rendering his resignation
after making a final settlement with
the accounting officials of the department
of justice. His term of office will not
expire until the 21st of May, 1894, and
his resignation, it is believed, will upset
plans and break-the slate which had
already been agreed upon for all the
ripepiGg- plums in Minnesota. Within
five minutes after the marshars recog-
milton the correspondent was ushered into
the private apartments of Attorney Gen
eral Olney. 1T was great surprise
to us to receive the resignation of Mr..
Donahower of Minnesota" he said. He
would, of course, have served his term
out, and we were not anticipating any
designations. His management of the
office has been an admirable one Of
COURSE" continued the attorney general,

must still serve until his successor is
named and qualified. 1t is not the Gus
tom of the department of justice to give
out information regarding applications
for positions, so l cannot tell you any
thing about who will succeed Mr.. Don
ahower." This was all Mr.. Olney
would say Oh the subject of the applica-
ticns on file. J. j. Thornton of st.
Jemes has finely bound volume of in
dorsenents, but it is said he stands but
little show. Adam Bede, who filed his
claim in birch bark script, is not con-
sidered as serious. John Clark of st.

verne have applications, and Walter
GeCrgen of Caledonia is the latest addi-
ton. 1t is believed here by Minnesotians

hour this morning to throw q bomb made

into the room over tie Exchange State
hank, occupied by George Englc, presi-

the window and dropped to the sidewalk,
here it exploded, shattering the win
iows of the bank and adjacent buildings.
The purpose of the bombthrOwer was ap-
parently not to rob the bank but to as
sassinate Mr. Engle who was sleeping.
This is the third dynamite outrage which
las occurred in this city. Three years

of the kind was exploded beneath the
