Dissatisfaction.

DISQUALIFICATION.
There is again trouble in the wigwam of
Tie democrats. This particular party
seems to possess a strange faculty for
getting into trouble. And this time the
trouble is with what had been supposed to
be a sort of "official organ of the demo-
crats-the Grand Forks P%laindealer.
When the Bismarck edition of the Plain
dealer was begun, there were Immediately
started various and varying rumors as to
the object of its publication. 1t was desig-
mated by some a "boOdle edition. and
there was doubt among democratic leaders
as to its sincerity.
The Bismarck edition has not been
characterizedby any belligerent ebullitions
of democracy. If it was democratic its
democracy was of a very mild order. 1t
did not pitch into repu blican candidates
and republican principles with the vim
and ardor which usually mark the demo
cratic newspapers. 1t seemed quiescent,
as though waiting for something to "turn
up before it committed itself to any great
degree.
The faint rumblings of dissatisfaction
among the democrats who are the bone
and sinew of the Grand Forks D

have finally climaxed in an earthquake,
which has tOppled both Mr.. Hennessy and
league from their positions. The follow

management. The Raindealer disclaims any

Messrs. league and Hennessy left on

and the like, for Bismarck enterprise.

Both MIR. league, who is II of the
Hennessy, who is one of the smoothest
writer's, say it is all a mistake, and that
they have a contract with the Plaindealer
owners that cannot be broken off so uN-

Eligibility of Boil sr Inspectors.
From the number Of applications pour
ing in the governor is inclined to think
that the position of boiler inspector is the
best in the state, or else few know what
constitutes the qualifications of a boiler in
spector. Besides there are no vacancies.
The present appointments continue from
SIX months to w years. The following
is the law on the qualifications of inspec-
tors:

of inspector of boilers who Is either di-
rectly or indirectly interested in the man
utacture or sale OF boilers or steam ma
chinery, or any patented article required
to be used in the construction of steam
boilers or engines, or who is not of good
moral character, a practical engineer, and
suitably qualified by experience in the con.
structiOn OF steam boilers, or such expert.
ence in their manufacture as to enable him
to perform the duties OF the office, and no
person shall enter upon or perform any of
the duties of inspector who has not taken
and subscribed an oath, and filed the same
with the secretary of state, that he will
faithfully and impartially perform the
duties of his Office.
If Representative Satterlund.. never
achieves greater fame than that given
him by his colleague, Senator Gregory,
in yesterdays nominating speeches, he
will still have cause for abundant thanks
giving and praise. The gentleman from
| Ward did himself proud.
