Office showed. When informed of what
l wanted to know, Mr.. Porter. said:
"You needn't think you are going to
hurry up the payments TO the fire COM
panies by what you are doing, because
you aint.' He then showed from his
books that the money collected by Com
missioner Cudhie had been paid over to
Treasurer Nomland before July 31st, and
called over from a list of papers he took
from a pigeon-hole in his desk, the
names OF the towns and amounts due
which correspondent with the amounts
still due, as shown by the commissioner
and treasurer records given above, ex-
cept Ellendale. which he claimed the
warrant had been issued for amounting
to S66.S9. I asked Mr.. Porter why he
had not paid all the companies or cities
and towns at the same time, to which he
answered that he had been paying off
the small ones first, and had paid Bis
marck, Wahpeton and Lisbon first, be-
cause they were to take part in the Jour
nament; that these accounts we're the
same as any other; that the funds went
to the general fund, and would be paid
like the thousands of dollars of other
bills that lay on his desk-paid when he
came to them. "But," said I, "this money
belongs especially to the fire companies
of the cities or towns in which it was
collected, and the law provides that you
SHALL send warrants to the %treasurers
OF said cities or towns on July 1st"-
to which no answer was made.
Now the question arises: What has
been done with this S3,756.39 that wal
paid int the state treasury July LIST,
and which the moment it was SO paid
belonged to the city and towns herein
named, which have not been paid the
amounts due them. One of two things
has happened: 1t has been left in the
treasury to swell the deposits laying
ldle-so far, at least, as the good of the
state is c~oncerned-or it has been misap-
propriated, and Epaid out in officers
salaries, or otherwise for purposes for
which it was never collected. Neither
of these things could have been done
without the knowledge of Auditor Por-
ter. He is responsible for the failure of
every city to get their warrants for the
amounts due them, as the law directs
on the first day of July last. His rec
ords and his admission both show he
has failed to comply with the plain pro-
vision of the law. Further figures and
facts will be given hereafter, as to what
has been done with the money due the
brave fremen of the state. How will
you vote, volunteer frem.en of the state
of. North Dakota? For the man who
has violated the plain provision of the
statute, and thereby kept your com
panies out of the benefits these pay
ments would have been, had the law
been complied with, or will you say
Auditor Porter has proven himself
unworthy of your support?

The fremen have not been paid, but
the salary of every state official has been
opinion Porter has pretended to stand
behind does not materialize, on an in
spection of the attorney generals rec
ords. Are not the fremen as much en-
titled to the money that has been COL
lected for their benefit, as the under.
strappers who clean spittoons about the
capitol building? Yet they are paid
every month. The expense account of
the penitentiary for the month of April
has not been paid-yet the expense &C.
count of the superintendent of schools
has been paid in full up to recent date.
Is this as it should be?

MR.. CAHALL STOPS HIS PAPER.

Ex-County Commissioner Cahall call
ed upon the TRIBUNE Tuesday, paid
his arrearage of subscription (which, by
the way, was a mere trife) and ordered
the paper discontinued for the season, as,
be said, he "did not like the course the
paper was taking, regarding the demo-
Gratis" While the TRIBUNE will not
probably be materially incon veniencedby
the loss of the 50 a year subscription.
yet I assure Mr.. Cahall, personally, it
grieves me that he should take this
course. He was, I am informed. some
years ago n of the commissioners of
this county, and was a careful and con-
scientious officer, and a man we'll liked
by his neighbors. This is not, however,
the principal reason Of our sorrow. Last
summer, while the strike was on, and
h we we're compelled to do with.
out mail facilities or other O veniences
which comes from the operation of rail-
roads, while, as it we're, Mr.. Debs & Co.
held the commerce of the country by the
throat, and while the strikers were
burning and destroying property and
causing the sacrificing of human lives, [
ives standing in front Of H. P. Bogue's
cigar store, listening to several persons
discussing the events of the day, when 1
heard one say: "The government must
be upheld, at any odds. These fellows
must be given to understand that Uncle
Sam must be obeyed and respected.
l have an old gun at home yet, and il
necessary [ am ready and willing to 20
out and tight for the maintenance of law
and order. It makes no difference who
Is at the head of this government they
must be sustained in preserving peace
and protecting life and property" The
man who made those remarks was Mr..
Cahall-they were worthy and patriotic
sentiments, and we are sorry to give
ottense to any one who would thus ex.
press himself. But when we remember
mat the whole pop state administration
were at that time pandering to the
strikers; that even the governor was
sending private kilograms to Debs ask
ing permission to move the militia of the
state, we wonder if Mr.. Cahall knew of
these things and can still vote the pop
tlcket-there is no democrat ticket to
vote.
While I am sorry to give offense to
any old friend Of the TRIBUNE, I cannot,
on that account change the course I
have taken to show up the derelictions
OF pops and democrats in the true light.

Of each separate city. town. or village named
