1t is humiliating to think that tho
election of the highest officer of the
state is likely to be settled by the
purchase of a few men who have
been elected to represent the people
But SUCH is the probability. Sena
torships have been bought in this
state before. That is the way Mr.
Casey is said to have first attained
his seat in the senate. 1t is doubt
full if he would even have risen
above the position Of county com
missioner had he been poor and res.
pectable instead of rich and con.
scientiousless.

In his last issue of the Pembina
Co. Democrat, Editor Gagnier in
a column article reveals to his read
ers an emigration scheme which he
has been working up during the
past months. His labors have been
chiefly devoted among the Cana
dian-French, in the eastern province
Of Canada. He has prepared some
migration literature in phamphlet
form in both the English and French
languages, explanatory of the ad.
vantages of North Dakota, but
more especially Pembina and Cava
lier counties. In referring to his re-
cent visit to this city regarding the
scheme he pays our people the fol
lowing well deserved compliment
81 have received liberal encour
agement and all the informations
wanted, particularly in Langdon
where there is class of business
men that are always ready to dc
their share towards any scheme thai
can benefit the Cavalier county
Olga is another place where there
are men of energy and tact''. Mr.,
Gagnier has only words of praise
for the manner.he has been received
here.

The present legislature can do nc
act during the present session that
will be more beneficial to the state
than to elect Col. John D. Benton
to succeed Casey in the Us Sen.
ate. He stands closer to the incom.
ing administration than any otherman
in this state, being a personal friend
Of the president-clect. The advan.
tages to be gained by sending such
a man to the senate ought to be ap,
parent to every member of the lcgis,
laturc.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan'y. %, 1898.
Republican officials, particularly
those who have been in Office, in the
departments. for eight years or more,
are in a state of mind. They don't
like recent Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt, in his anxiety in behalf of
the republican office-holders, even took
the trouble to 60 over to New York
for the purpose of sounding President
elect Cleveland on the subject. The
immediate causes Of this panicky feel
ing on the part of those who felt their
positions on UncIe Sans pay roll to be
safe were two bills introduced in the
House; one, by Representative Martin.

The proclamation lately issued
to the people of North Dakota by
Attorney General Standish relative
to his mode Of procedure in en-,
forcing the prohibition law adver
tises throughout the Union that an
other state may be put on record
as having proved that the prohibi-
ton law is failure. Nearly two
years since it came into force and
we have yet to discover the sign of
anything except total failure.

been one death already and half Of
the numbers are suffering from bad
colds contracted in this wild waste
of desert.
The senatorial fight has became
red hot and at the present writing
the situation remains unchanged
with no solution Of the problem at
hand although many of the <sheel-
er>' believe they possess the key.
The situation is this the ><yany"
which is Alex Mckenzie, John
Haggart, Jud LaMonrc and few
others are determined that Lyman
Il. Casey must succeed himself as
=. :. Senator. There are a num-
Der Of self-reSpcctiny republicans,
however, who will not swallow
this dose under any circumstances.
The republicans have l3 aiori,y
on Joint ballot: of this number
Casey has probably 30 votes the
greater number of course are hid
den Until the grand rush comes.
The democrats and Independents
have 40 votes in joint ballot and
there is every probability that if
the gang presist in their attempts
to force Casey down their throats, a
number of the republicans will turn
in and elect a democrat to the u. S.
senate and that democrat will be
either W. \. Roach or John ID.
| Benton, with the chances in favor
of the latter as he can get every in
| dependent vote while a number of
the populists will not cast an clcc-
tive vote for Mr.. Roach.
W. J. Mooney is on the ground
but has declined to allow his name
to be used as a possible compromise
candidate and is lending every cf-
fort to effect the election of either
one or the other of the gentlemen
named, and his attitude in this fight
is making him many friends among
the rank and file and has already
secured the goodwill of the leaders.
Auditor ALERT, T. E. Burke,
John Marshall, Fred Borusky, P.
McHugh and D. II. Mcmillan com
posed the Cavalier county delega-
ton who are visiting at the state
capital. The two former gentle
men have returned home-at least
they left here for that purpose, the
others, continues to stay.
Senator Bidlake is a power in the
councils of his party in this fight,
In fact John is looked upon as the
leader and generolissmo in the cam
paign.
Representative MeLean's ware
house bill still hangs fire in this
committee. 1t is his intention to
further amend the bill by elemina-
ting certain ambiguous phrases so
that all will be plain sailing when
it comes up in the House through
which it will undoubtedly pass
without a dissenting voice. He has
also introduced Il bill amending the
present school law and providing
that a majority Of the legal voters
of any county may petition and
change from the present township
system to the school district system.
He is also at work on a bill provid-
ing for adequate militia appropria-
ton.
Representative Plain is not all
orator in any sense of the word, but
he possesses the happy faculty of
saying the right thing in the right
place, and thereby is making lots
of friends for himself and none but
the crankiest of cranks will find
fault with his voting.

A Surprise Sprung Upon the
Republicans.
BENTON GETS 46 VOTES,
He is Elected on the TWENTY,
Third Ballot---A Sitter
Fight is Ended

In the Iwenty-thlrd baldot which
has ust been cast John ID. Benton

The Democratic and populist forces

additional votes from the republic

BISMARCK, Jan. 2l.-| Special tc
COURIER DEMOCRAT Nearly on,
hundred and fifty bills have beer
already introduced. Far too many
to keep track Of, especially as SC
many will never be brought before
the legislature, or if brought up
will be thrown out without debate
The all absorbing topic is the scna-
torial situation and very little Other
work will be done until that is
settled. There is no material
change in the senatorial fight. The
republicans are still embraced in a
dead lock, which seems to grow more
firm as each day passes. Only two
ballots. were taken today. Ander.
son took great squirt OH the first
ballot, receiving sixteen votes, but
these were taken almost entirely
from Roach. This was in return for
compliments bestowed on Roach by
the Grand Forks delegation. Des-
pite the urgent and repeated efforts
of the republicans to get Casey off
the track and solidify the party on
one man acceptable to all nothing
has yet been accomplished. Casey
still stays in the race but does not
seem able to raise above the fatal
thirteen, which hangs on his neck
like mill stone. The throw
ing of seven republican votes to
Roach yesterday caused panic in
the republican camp
At the close of the fourteenth
ballot Mr.. Elliot in rising to change
his vote from Muir to Benton,
roasted the republicans for spending
time at an expense of $500 a day,
playing horse when they had it in
t.hheir power to elect senator IN ten
minutes. there was some excuse for
democrats and populists, being in
the minority, to throw their votes
here and there as matter Of COM
pliment or in mere horse play, but
there was no sense in the repub-
licans doing it. Sixteen of the pop
ulists voted fora republicans on the
last ballot in the hopes that they
would take the hint and elect one
good and true, but they didn't and
he now desired to change his vote
to Benton.
In joint session today the 10th
ballot resulted: Casey, l3; Worst,
9; Smith, s; Kingman, 8; Anderson,
IL; Roach, %; Muir, II: LaMoure,
l. This ballot was almost an ex-
act return to the first vote taken
yesterday.
Seventeenth ballot-Casey, l3;
Worst, 8; Smith, 8; Kingman, I;
Anderson, 6; Roach, 10; Muir, 49,;
Day, 3. The Grand Forks demo
Gratis and several others voted for
Anderson with the evident inten-
tion OF securing a number of repub-
lican votes for Benton. :
