NOT AN EMPTY VICTORY.

Republican indignation has sub
sided. No Republican tariff meas,
ure to restore wages is yet proposed.
Nothing is said of a new law to
guard the liberties of the colored
brethren in the south. Whether
this tameness is an admission that
the country. is with the Democratic
repeats of the two typical Republi-
can laws-the Mckinley tariff and
the Federal election statute-or
only a willy refusal to show the Re-
publican hand, it is sufficient to prove
that the G. o. PTS not possessed with
the Impotence of moral conviction.
Our Democratic Congress has a
session longer to live and yet has
accomplished reforms of which Re
publicans do not care to make issue
for a calm discussion.
Victory in 1892 was not in vain.

all the old-time faith. And so long
as man is irresistibly drawn to look
up to heaven for hope and pardon,
80 long will Christmas endure.
Our American people do not feast
so much as other nations at Christ
mas. Perhaps some faint remem-
brance of the surfeit of Thanksgiv-
ing turkey prevents it. We do not
kill the fat goose as in England; we
do not chase the cook around the
yard if the ssboiled sausage" is not
promptly ready; nor do we hold
"reveillon" like the French, usher
ing in the dawn of Christmas Day
with toast drunk at the conclusion
of supper which began at mid
night to last until sunrise. But
"Christmas pye" and "Babie Cake
still have a hold upon US in our IL
braries if not in our kitchens. Our
English cousins feed we'll when the
holidays come at the end of the year.
Let everyone do the best possible
to make this Christmas a bountiful
and benefcent one. There are abun-
dant reasons for gratitude in this
holiday season, and the return of
prosperity should ne welcomed with
proper manifestations of Joy.

THE RUSSIAN CACTUS.

One of the questions that will be
pressing for solution before the mex,
Legislature, and one of practical i'm
portance to the farmers of this state,
is the suppression Of the Russian
cactus. Without exception it is the
worst pest that has ever visited this
country, worse than grasshoppers or
the chinch bug, worse even than the
mortgage on the farm, for that does
not spread over the country. II is
the duty of the legislature to devise
such measures as will at least pro-
vide for this state doing it's full
share toward the eradication of
the pest. Senator Kinter sug.
gests that unity of action must be
had by all the states in which it has
gotten hold, viz: North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Nebraska. How then
shall this unity of action and uni
form legislation be brought about.

SENATOR ROACH TALKS.

In the senate at Washington
when the question of taking up the
House bills, was reached, Senator
Roach like a man stood up and
voted against it. He gives his
reason for his vote as bravley as he
did when he voted on the silver
question. Says he:
81 objected to take up any tariff
subject at this short session on &C.
count Of the impossibility of getting
any bill Of that kind passed. Such
action would open the whole tariff
question and the country has already
suffered too much from the agitation.
Besides, I think we have some other
important legislation which needs
attention. realize that the differ
entail is clearly in the interest of the
sugar refners, and I should have
been pleased to vote for the bill if l
supposed it could have been re-
pealed."
Of course, there will be some
sscranks" on the "tariff reform line
that will criticize the senator for his
action, but he is right again, as he
was on the silver question. These
bills were hustled through the house
for political purpose.

TT MUST GO.

Congressman Babcock, the chair,
man of the National Republican
Congressional Committee, says that
no attempt will be made by the
republicans to revive the Mckinley
law. "That law" he says, "did not
have the pport of one republican
in five when it passed" This is
official. II is also significant. We
rarely find republican statesmen or
politicians so entirely candid as Mr..
Babcock has become since the cleo
ton. The question naturally arts
ing out of such remarkable state
ment as that of the republican chair
man is: What assurance have repub-
llcans that a restoration of the re-
publican party to power will result
in giving force and effect to what the
great majority Of republicans con
ceive to be proper politics for the
government of the country?
If one-ffth of the republicans in
1890 were able to put through a
measure to which the other four
fifths were unalterably opposed, the
conclusion is irresistible that the re-
publican party has ceased to repre-
sent the masses Of it's membership
and has fallen into the hands and
under the control of a small minority
having certain interests to be pro-
noted by legislation.
When party reaches this condi-
ton it is near dissolution if the
people have intelligence, and they
are not lacking in that quality on
occasion.
What is said of the Mckinley law
may more truthfully be said of the
Sherman bullion purchase law
passed at the same session in the
interest of few mine owners con-
stituting much less than one-ffth of
republican party membership. The
republican party has ceased to rep
resent any vital popular principle of
policy.

The official result of the election
is at hand. 1t is worth contem-
plating both from a party and a
non-partisan standpoint. There
were about 5000 votes iii North
Dakota that settled the election on
candidates all along the line
Where these votes were in 1892,
and why they appear as they do in
1894, is an interesting political
question.

had experience in dealing with the
weed) and in their conference devise
some plan and necessary legislation
to be followed by all the states, to
be put in execution at the same time.
I believe that it can be stamped out
in two years by putting in operation
the right plan and with energetic
action"
There has never been a demand
upon our Legislature of SO vast i'm
portance to our farmers. Where
the cactus has gained it's strongest
foothold it has ruined the farmers.
We have been informed that in q
certain section of Sargent county
over forty families have abandoned
their farms and left the state because
of the cactus. Such condition
must be stopped at whatever cost,
and the farmers of North Dakota
will look to the forthcoming legis-

half our institutions may have to be
closed up.
