Editor COURIER DEMOCRATS
In regard to your Elkwood scribe of
last weeks issue. OF No. 36 of the COUR-
IER-DEMOCRAT, | see that valuable
scribe of this place is treating the pub
lie to an untruthful statement, and
that is in regard to my getting 5000 Of
the peoples money to build a road
through the scrub to my timber claim.
Now for the benefit Of the valuable
correspondent from Elkwood. but
more so for the public at large l will
say
First-That have not got one cent
from our county commissioners to
build any road whatever, but the fact
is that l represented the settlers of
western Fremont township. Of this
county, at their request to get some aid
from the county to help them in build
ing a road. I laid this before the
board of county commissioners and
they considered the matter in open
session, and finally decided that they
would grant 5000 to aid in building a
road across the Big Pembina river;
said money to be paid when the road
was completed. Tile board instructed
the County Auditor to draw warrant
payable to the supervisors of Hope
township: upon the supervisors of said
township reporting that the road was
completed and ready for public travel.
Said county warrant is payable to
Hope township board of supervisors
and not to Halvor Torgeson as the
private secretary Of Mr.. Eakle says.
Second-The Hope township board
Of supervisors is to locate and lay out
the road and not Halvor Torgeson.
And guess that I can inform the
scribe that the supervisors of the
above named township will not be die
tated to by Halvor Torgerson. or any
body else, but that they will locate the
road where ever they see fit, without
fear Or favor of anybody.
LII 1eSdlu W oul CouHLJ COuHloSlOu-
ers, will say that the honorable cor
respondent, or anybody else, are well
come to get all they can by tapping
that honorable body. will however
let them speak for themselves as
think they will fully satisfy any one
that may demand anything of them.
More if necessary at another time.

SPRING TIME.
The Best Season Of the Year to Treat
Chronic Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that a great num-
Der of people have been cured of chro-
mic catarrlrby taking Pe-ru-na during
the past cold season, yet it can not be
denied that the cold, wet: stormy Win
ter has retarded many cures, and in
some cases actually prevented cure.
But, after unusual delay spring time
has come ut last, and now is the time
for all catarrh sufferers to begin sys-
tematic course OF treatment, for this
disease. The greatest difficulty in the
way of treating chronic caturrh is that
the'patient is so liable TO catch cold
during the treatment, and thus delay Il
cure. This liability at this season of
the year is, in a great measure, re-
moved, and no one should neglect the
opportunity to begin treatment. Send
for free catarrh book.
AS a spring medicine Pe-ru-na is a
neverfailing remedy. 1t cleanses the
blood through digestion. and gives tone
to the whole system by increasing the
nutritive value Of the food. ''Spring
fever" as it is sometimes called, which
produces a tired-out, sleepy feeling,
and inability to do much mental or
physical work, is the result of slug
gish digestion. The great popularity
that Pe-ru-na has is due to the fact
that in all such cases it at once COR
reefs digestive arrangements and ell
riches the blood by purifying this very
important source of that vital fluid.

The Presidents Message.

President Cleveland's message is not surprise to those who have with any degree of interest watched his policy. The document is not lengthy and contains no unnecessary matter. It cites briefly our rela- tions with foreign powers and as a matter of course treats of the Hawa- iiar matter from logical standpoint and advocates the restoration of the former Government, the only thing WhicE can be done with any sem blance of justice and right. The Geary law and the recent financial trouble is touched upon. In regard to our National system of currency the message very pertinently says:
 We should resolutely turn away from alluring and temporary expedi- ents. determined to be content with nothing less than a lasting and com prehensive financial plan. In these circumstances, l ann convinced that a reasonable delay in dealing with the subject, instead of being injurious will increase the probability of wise action.
 Now that Congress has met and the President has had his say, the country awaits results.

The Van lAIen Muddle.

President Cleveland appoin ted as Ambassador to Italy I. J. Van Alen and, in due time, the appointment was confirmed by the Senate. The metropolitan press and, indeed, or gans of less importance at once be- gan to make war upon the new Am bassador because it was discovered that he had contributed large sum to the campaign fund prior to the Presidents election. It was charged that the nomination was made in compensation for the amount which was subscribed and, if such were the case, of course the appointment was an undesirable one. Charges were made, however, without the slightest possibility of standardization.
 The cry was raised and handed from paper To paper, from locality to locality, until by many it was an accepted fact that the patronage had been bought. This reflected se- riously upon the integrity of the Administration.
 Mr. Van Alen has now written to Secretary Gresham stating that he could not accept the appointment, and the President has written to MT. Van Alen asking him to recon sider his answer. A second refusal followed.
 If the charges could be estab- lished, then the country was unfor- tunate in that an unworthy and cor rupt man had been selected to repre- sent it at q foreign court. If the statements made by the press were untrue. their falsity should have been emphasized by completely ig- noring their existence.
 The nomination was made, as President Cleveland stated in his letter, after due consideration and with full confidence in the gentle mans ability and fitness for the position.
 As the matter stands now, Mir. Van Allen is the central figure of political gossip, attacked by his ene- mics and defended by his friends. accused of Q delicate kind of bribery, denying it, and refusing to accept an appointment under cloud.
 In other words, the refusal of the mission has stirred up muddle that of its own accord, if left alone, would have cleared.
