Senator Pet,igrew has signified his
intention to introduce bill opening the
Sioux lands to homesteaders at 81 on
acre. The senator's attitude on the
money question, as recently stated by
himself, is sort of compromise De-
tween the single standard and free coin
age. He opposes the placing of our
currency on gold basis, but wishes to
see the silver question disposed of in
such manner that our money will be
sound the world over.

WHEN it is remembered that
Morton county has always shown
a Jealous disposition toward Stark,
it may not seem strange that the
Mandan Pioneer took up the cud-
gel against our boundary bill.
But Mr.. Tuttle pays our represent
%tatives a handsome compliment in
the following paragraphs:
Messrs. McGlllivrayand Simpson
are to be congratulated on the
fight they made. They did not
sleep much while the fight was on;
they interviewed every member
of the house, and it is safe to say
that the Red River Valley mem
bers are better acquainted with
the geography of the country
west of the Missouri river, to-day,
than they ever were before. Now
that the fight is over, the surface
of the waters is one more placid.
and the Pioneer and the people Of
Morton and Oliver counties en-
tend to the fighters from Stark,
their most respectful considera-
ton, applause and appreciation Of
their fighting qualities.

NOBODY need tell up this way
that Gov. f. c. D. Shortridge is a
friend of the people in the COM
mon Of the term. In veto
ing senate bill No. Io. he perpe-
trated not only a rank injustice to
the people of small means; but he
gave the legislature a direct slap,
inasmuch as the bill had passed
both houses by almost a unani
nous vote after a hot discussion
of the measure upon its merits,
which discussion was waged by
outside parties having selhh mo-
tlves. And more, this official has
deprived the children of morgan
lied territory north and south of
Stark of the chance of getting any
educational advantages, and has
retarded settlement; all in the in
terests of large cattle-owners who
wish to escape taxation. 1t is
dollars and cents with them. But
it was not expected that a lob
by of cattle kings and their repre-
sentatives could sway the profess
ed executive of the people into
espousing their cause. This is
monopoly. The people did not
expect it. The veto message
does not amount to a row of
pins; a school-boy of ordinary in
telligence could show the old man
that he has not a leg on which to
stand in support of it. He leans
upon the strong arm of the cattle
kings, who own him soul and body.
The cattlemen are nobody's fools;
and they made no mistake when
they concentrated Their forces
upon Ellis camp. Messrs. McGilli.
vray and Simpson did their part
and let us say right here that they
have made the best record of any
two men in the Legislature. They
are workers and fight upon prjn
ciple and the people of this dis
trict stand ready to back them W
in what they have done.
