SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE MORTON
administered a very juicy roast on
"journeymen" farmers before the meeting
Of the National Commission of the
Worlds Fair. In speaking of the great
exposition, he said: "Everything in
the civilized career of our race seems to
have been massed here, an object les
son from all the centuries to teach
Americans their duties and their posi-
biIities. Under lying all sciences and
arts is agriculture, and it has begun to
dawn upon the agricultural mind that it
needs individual development and self
reliance in each citizen, rather than
%gregarious organizations which may be
deputized, or given power of attorney, to
think for the farmers. We all under
stand that SO far, Grange and Alliance
organizations have been to attend to
something else rather than farming;
that they have been worked, to use the
parlance of the day, by journeymen
farmers, who have for political purposes,
farmed the farmers. These organizations,
as a rule, have attended to every other
thing except agriculture"

not compromise, but either uncondi-
tional repeal or free silver. Compromise
legislation is very unsatisfactory. and
usually divides the political parties in
such a manner that no party can be
held responsible. Let us have one
thing or the other, and if the result is
not what the people want, they will
speedily revoke it, Just now the I'M
questioned preponderance Of public
sentiment Is in favor OF the repeal of
the Sherman law. This law is by no
means responsible for all the ills the
country has been cursed with during
the past season, but it has had a great
deal to do with the continued distrust
and depression and its repeal would I've

storing public cortidence-unless the
democratic imbecility insists ON striking
a death blow to American enterprise
and industry by agitating and endorsing
the repeal Of the tariff and the abandon

The Devils Lake News wants to
know if wheat isn't worth more than the
present price, shortage or no shortage.
1t is worth a little more than at present
and the restoration of confidence that
the passage of the repeal bill would
have would doubtless appreciate the
price Of wheat a few cents, but there are
no good reasons for expecting wheat to
bring a big price henceforth except in
case of universal drouth or shortage.
There is asurplus of wheat and an over.
abundance of wheat land and wheat
growers in the world. In South America
and in Africa the industry is in it's in
fancy but those who have visited the
Worlds Fair must have been convinced
Of the great capabilities of these coun.
tries in this respect. Millions of acres
of wild lands IN those countries only
await the development sure to follow the
building OF railroads. Cheap labor in
these countries will place the North d.
kota farmer at a disadvantage and while
wheat raising may not always be as I'm.
profitable as during the past three years
the outlook for big profits on this staple
cereal is any thing but promising. The
North Dakota farmer must diversity.

ANOTHER chapter of Fortress to

events at old Fort Rice in 1872. This
was an Indian country in those days
no railroad and no settlements. The
barracks we're in constant danger OF at.
tack and the experiences of those
stationed at this frontier post in those
days were anything but pleasant. These
chapters of pioneer days will lie found
intensely interesting and will be read
and filed away by hundreds of people
who are interested in the history Of this
region. The demand for papers con-
tanning these articles has been so great
but few Of them are LETT.

The democratic compliments IN the
senate are really quite amusing-and
decidedly cutting. Senator Butler Of
Alabama, for instance, after declaring
his loyalty to the constitution and max
ing sundry i%nsinuatlons against some
northern democratic senators, aroused
the ire Of Senator Hill OF New York who
brought down the senate and excited the
galleries to laughter by saying that ne
presumed there were no politicians in
Alabama-they were all statesmen.
"Mr. Morgan speaks OF his lifelong de-
voticn to the constitution. I may be
mistaken, but I believe that for q brief
period a few years ago my friend from
Alabama was supporting another con-
stitutiOn.'

STUTsMAN county farmers seem to be
fully aroused to the danger Of Russian
cactus, and last week, pursuant to a
numerously signed call, a mass meeting
Of farmers, politicians and others met in
the court house at jamestown, to devise
ways and means to rid the country Of
this particularly noxious weed. Farmer
E. 7. Kearney, who will be remembered
as a member Of the legislature of 1891,
expressed himself in favor of an extra
session Of the legislature to provide for
building a wire fence across the state to
lodge the cactus as it blows northward.
He held it a impossible for the in.
dividual farmer to fight the advance of
the Russian enemy successfully, and the
whole state was interested. Farmer
Thomas, it seems, didn't take much stock
in the wire fence scheme. He said one
might as we'll whistle against q north
wind, for the seed would continue in it's
arrial flight long after the weeds had
stopped rolling. He thought the remedy
was in better individual farming.
Farmers" Casey, Wallace, Wells and
others who had signed the call we're
scored for non-attendance and lack OF
interest and the meeting adjourned with
Kearney still of the mind that q Russian
cactus extra session of the legislature
ought to be called by the old gray headed
farmer governor at once.

The democratic New York Herald
now pays its respects to the democratic
party by saying that 'as a minority it
has proven itself strong, alert,
full, combative, but as a majority it is
again weak, vacillatipg, disunited and
afraid of his own shadow. 1t is con-
fronted with an issue vital to the nation
and its existence and it is prepared
to meet it in the same way it met the
Issue of 1860" Never has the demo-
cratic party been held in such utter con-
tempt MS now. The people can stand a
modern amount of vi%ciousness and even
corruption, but vacillating imbecility
they will not tolerate.

TRUE the republicans of the first COM
missioner district have held no conven-
ton and the candidates for county COM
missioner are running on petition, but
this does not prevent republicans of the
district from assembling and deciding
what is to be done under the circumstan-
of the candidates or not. Looking to
the future the republican organization
ought to lose no opportunity to
strengthen itself.
