Of good ability. As for Mr.. Knee
shaw, his ability is we'll known, ant
he had small wagonload Of law
books to stand on, which easily pu
him head and shoulders over his op
ponents.
The Pembina committee had don,
u very large amount OF clerical labol
and checking up, comparing the pol
books. asscssmcntroll and petition
and while the work was not cOmplet
ed for want of time, still enough was
gathered to show from the lists men.
TONED that the total number Of
names on the petition is far less than
two-thirds OF the voters of the coun.
ty, but the commissioners never ex-
amlned them. The Cavalier commit.
tee brought In supplemental petit.
tion. 1t is doubtful II it can be nd.
ded legally at this time, It is an in
significant matter except as a precea.
emit. The small number OF names is a
confession Of Weakness.
The final solution of this matter az
1t stands at present is almost certain
to rest with the court. Then, and not
till thcn,c can evidence te adduced and
charges proven. It will mean the ex-
animation Of large proportion OF tho
original signers Of the petition, unless
the court decides that the petition IL
the remOnstrants be granted ON the
same basis as tho original petition,
and that the names on che rclnon-
STRANGE are genuine signatures OF quaj,
ificd voters.
The Pembina committee have run
on to several cases where partias hive
signed names other than their own,
but have not put in any objections.
except where the writing showed 1t on
the face OF tho petition, as the other
cases were not sufficient IN number to
affect the aggregate, and it would re-.
qulre the personal attendance of Wit
nesscs, which the committee have no
power to subpoena.
1t is presumed. that it is the inten-
tion of the Cavalier committee, who
took a copy Of the names on the
remonstrancc to induce as many us
possible to sign u rcm0nstrance
against tie remOnstrancc, and they
claim they can easily do no. Perhaps
they can, but VIC doubt 1t. 1t Is easy
to get man to sign most any petit
tion, but after lie has signed 1t, it is|
not easy to persuade men to sign re.
Inonstrance without good reason, and
not,lnany thinking men will contra.
dict themselves the third ttlpe. AS a
rule the remonstrant signed the orig
inal petition without much thought
as to its result, but nearly every man
who signed the remonstrance did It
from sober, second thought.
A remarkable fact is the unanimity
with which almost every locality Wis
tied, signed the remonstrance. I'M
Drayton, out Of % signers to the pc.
tition q signed the remonstrance, In
Walhalla 20 out of 8s; in Hamilton col
out Of about lis; in Midland, 10 outl
Of 81; In Neche, "a out OF 40. These
people signed the remonstrance for|
"tas reason. among other things,
that they are not DESTROYS Of remov.
Ing and relocating the county seat at
this time," and did not understand
that the vote, asked did relocate the ]
county seat.

THE COUNTY SEAT WAR.

A perusal Of the official proceedings
Of the board of county commissioners
In this issue will give the routine Of
the work done by the board ut their
session this week. The board were
ali present except Mr.. Morrison, who
began threshing the day Of the scs-
sion. The board were evenly divided
In: reference to remOnstrance con-
tanning SEQ names. and after trans
acting some minor business concluded
to adjourn to September 10th.
The petitioners were represented
by Attorneys brynjolfson Of Cavalier
aud Leslie of lIillsl,Oro. Attorney
Knccshaw appeared in behalf IT the
rcmonstrants. The Cavalier COM

Kraft, as well as Quitca number from
other towns were present.
The question Of the meeting was
on the admission OF the remUnstrancc.
or course this was Il vital point, as II
admittcd,it would reduce the petition
to So small Il number that There would
be no question as to its Icing reject
cd on that ground.
There was long lcgal argument,
and u whole library Of authorities.
and court decisions brought in, and
Mr.. Leslie fought llari to make it APP
pear that the decisions we're In favor
OF rejecting the renloustrancc. hut all
arguments may be summed up In the
Que statement, that nu decision cited
showed that a remOnstrancc aud petit
ton to strike off names before final
action was taken by the board, had
been denied, but that in every case
the right, and duty Ut the board
to strike cif such nail.cs from the orig
inal petition was admitted by the SUI
prcmc courts cited. Messrs. McIn-
tosh and EyOlrson saw the matter diff.
fcrently, and don't believe that petit
tiuncrs have the right To take of
their names after they once write
them, because our statute don't ex-
prcssly say so.
There was but little !ll-fceling

ties, except once when j. X. Mussel.

JefersOnian.

Thomas Jefferson, the father of simon
pure Democracy, was man who ap-
preciated to the fullest the Importance
of national prosperity ,and that as a ma
ton we could not hope to prosper un-
less we developed the resources of our
own country and became producers.
In letter written in 1916 he used the
following language:
Experience has taught me that
manufactures are now as necessary to
our independence as to our comfort.
and if those who quote me as of diff
ferent opinion will keep pace with me
in purchasing nothing foreign where
an equivalent domestic fabric can be
obtained, without regard to difference
of price, it will not be our fault if we
do not have supply at home equal to
our demands and wrest that weapon of
distress from the hand which has 80
long wantonly used it."
The above is hardly in line with the
doctrine enunciated by the statesmen
from the south who favor throwing
down all barriers and the unrestricted
opening up of American markets to
European manufacturers employing
pauper labor with the absolute cer-
tainty of the degradation of American
labor,

Two Faithful Dogs.

A strange but true snake story comes
from Sierra Madre. ..s A little girl whose
mother resides at that place saw large
snake while playing near tae house, and
being pleased with its appearance, she
followed 1t through the grass, trying to
get hold of it. Two faithful dogs be-
longing to the family saw the snake also
and, running after it, got ahead of the
little girl in the chase aud pounced up
on the animal. An alarmed rattle, two
quick strokes, and the dogs ran yelping
back. While the little tot who had wit
messed the encounter.concluded that,the
gliding serpent was not as pretty as it
had first appeared. When the mother
who happened to be absent, returned
home that evening and found two dead
dogs in her dooryard and her little
daughter fast and safely ssleep In bed,
1t may be taken for granted that a
prayer of gratitude went up from her
heart at the fortunate escape of her lit

What o Tarpon Can DO.

AS the steam tug Mollie Mohr was

says the Houston, Tex, Post, she ran
through school of tarpon about half
a mile below the city. Three of these
huge fish leaped across the tugs for.

ing Tom Ross's head, the second struck
the cabin, near where Capt. Marshall
ana fireman were standing, and made
q dent as large as q mans fist in the

ameter, and glancing off, hit William

What Protection is Like.

Protection is like good book; once
in your hands you want to hold on to
it.
Protection is to workingmen what
flowers are to bees; 1t enables them n
store away the fruits of their labor for
future emergencies.
Protection is to labor what a solid
abutment is to bridge-a safe and
sure foundation on which to rest.
Protection is as necessary to tho
growth, development and elevation of
labor as the sunlight is to the flowers.
Protection is no respecter of persons.
1t oven extends its blessings to Demo.
Gratis.
Protection is like king; it confers
dignities it dignifies labor.
Protection is like mother; 1t gives
nourishment to industries.
Protection is like sun warmth IL
cheers and gladdens the hearts of the
poor.
Protection is like valuable jewel
once you have it in your possession
you do not like to part with it.

TROOPS CALLED OUT
To Restore the Train Taken by the
COXeyites.

WASHINGTON, April 95.-The strong
hand of the National Government has
at last been extended to check in their
mad career the lawless mob of Coxey-
ties which have seized upon train
upon the Northern Pacific Road at
Butte, Mont, and started eastward.
The Government no longer will await
upon the tardy movements of State of
ficials, and this morning Col. Swain,
Is in command of the Department OF
Dakota in the absence in Europe of
Gen. Merritt, was instructed by tele-
graph to use the United States troops
TO intercept the mob and restore the
rauroads 8 property. This action fol-
lows close upon Attorney General
Olney's telegram of instructions to
United States Marshal Bede of st. Paul.
There is no legal difficulty in the way
OF the governmental action at this
stage as the railroad property is now
in the hands of the. United States
courts acting through receiver, and
the President may move at once upon
the representations of the United States
judicial officers.
There are sufficient forces of United
States troops at st. Paul and at Bis
marck on the line eastward of the |
train seized and it is expected they will
be stopped at one Of these points. 1t
can no longer be denied that the pecu.
liar movement now in progress through
out the West has aroused the appre.
tensions of the national authorities.
As long as the numerous armies" and
other organizations conduct them
selves in peacable and law abiding
fashion there was no disposition to
interfere with them. But as the true
character Of the agitators is revealed
by such acts as the seizure of trains
and other lawless doings, it is made
evident to the offices of the Government
that they no longer can stop at policy
OF non interference. Further trespass
upon vested rights and the good order
OF the community probably will be
severely repressed whenever by viola.
ton of the United States laws the Ma
tional Government finds itself justified |
in acting.

Too Much Woman,

For conscience sake, let us cease this
everlasting prattle about the present
being "woman's century" and two
mans age, implying each time that
we say it that the women of any previ.
GUS age were driveling idiots, and cast
ing slur upon the very women who
gave us our being, writes Edward w.
Box in vigorous defense of the wo-
man of a generation ago, in the May
Ladies' Home Journal. Why is this
"woman's century" any more than
was any century before it? Just be-
cause few thousand more women are
engaged in business? Does that fact
make a "woman's century" We
haven't determined yet, by any means.
whether the present tendency of wo.
man going into the rougher CONNER
cial pursuits is to her interest or to the
benefit of those who will follow her.
A little caution here is very good
thing. What sense is there in this
constant ding donging into the ears of
our girls that they are born at the
dawn of womans emancipation ="
Emancipation from what ? Will this
fort of thing teach our girls to have a
greater respect for the women of past
generations? If we keep up this har-
angue much longer shall not blame
our youngest girls if they get the no.
ton that the world only began about
forty or fifty years ago. If we expect
children to have respect for their
mothers, and their mothers parents,
we can not enshroud the timee in
which they lived with darkness of igno-
nornace and bigotry. The women
who lived before the present agitat tors
of the "woman's century" were born
did a thing or two in the world Is his.
aory, far more, venture to prhphesy
from their present talk, than the wo-
men of today will do in these latter
days If they pursue their present course.
