The democratic New York World sees
the handwriting on the wall and plain
ly too. 1T is the Worlds habit it says
ito deal with election returns on the
basis of hard arithmetic and cold facts,
whatever may be their nature or slgnif-
canoe. The truth in regard to Maine is
that the republicans have won an un-
precendented victory. It surpasses re-
publican expectations and far exceeds
democratic fears. That they did this
not so much by increasing their vote
they have polled more in former cleo
tions-as by the failure of democrats to
60 to the polls does not alter the fact or
greatly change its meaning. Party men
do not stay at home on election day
without a reasoning and a purpose. The
Maine democrats refrained from voting
in great numbers because they are pro-
oundly dissatisfied with the course of
their party at Washington. The long
dilly-dallying YER the tariff to the seri-
u injury of business, and the final en-
forced surrender to the sugar ring and
the coal and iron combines, caused a re-
vulsion Of feeling which only TINA and
reparation can cure. There is warning
in this revolt, following the somewhat
similar n in Vermont, for the demo-
Gratis of all other states-particularly
those of New York."

The voters of Burleigh county will be
called upon at the coming election to
choose two representatives to represent
them in the coming legislative session.
The penitentiary being located here, and
we being the capital city of the state, it
is very important to the interests Of both
city and county that true and capable
men be selected. Burleigh county should
have a delegation capable of coping with
any in the state. Every county in the
slope looks to Burleigh county to send a
Legislative delegation who will be recog-
nized as a material factor in shaping
future Legislation. Let the matter be
discussed among the voters at the COM
ing %caucuses, so that when the county
convention is held, such candidates shall
be selected as will receive a hearty sup
port at the polls, and when elected be a
credit to themselves and the district
that sends them.

and in the less populous it was 41.5 per
cent. In the remaining scattered towns
which gave in 1892 only 9,1O6 republl-
can and 8,257 democratic votes, the dem
ocratic loss is likely to be found some
what smaller. But in the manuiactur-
ing towns it is evident that q great many
democrats voted the republican ticket.
The greater the extent of industries in
any district, the greater was the demo-
cratic loss. The Significance is that the
laborers and wage-workers. whom the
democrats profess to benefit, have soured
on democracy, and are not turning to
populism for relief, but back TO republi-
canism. The vote in Maine is indicative
of the feeling Of the laboring classes.
And while Maine has only 5000 manu-
featuring workers, New York has $780,
600, Pennsylvania 100000, New Jersey
$4,000, Connecticut 10000, Ohio 23l,-
600 aud Illinois $4,000 and, after Maine,
the indications are of a like change in
these other and more populous states.

ONE year ago there were in good stand
ing 397,223 G. A. r. veterans. There
have been gained during the year by
muster-in 1912; by transfer, 1854; by
reinstatement, 14,036; by reinstatement
from delinquent reports, 2,519. Total
gain, 1861. Aggregate, 436,884. There
have been lost: By death, 1888; by hon.
orable discharge, l,756; by transfer,
1882; by suspension, 34,so5; by dishonor-
able discharge, 154; by delinquent re-

Der remaining in good standing June 30,
1894, 369,083. As Commander Adams
remarked in his address, these figures
show that the G.. A. r. has reached the
beginning of the end, and each succeed
ing year will show q gradual decrease in
membership. The long continued de-
preston in business has caused many
suspensions, and these they hope to re-
gain when prosperity returns; but it will
be impossible for them to recruit their
ranks as fast as the members are ushered
out by death.

The state campaign will be formally
opened at Bismarck on Monday next, by
Hon. John T. Cowan, of Devils Lake,
candidate for attorney general, who will
address the citizens of Bismarck and
surrounding country on the political
issues Of the campaign. He will also be
assisted by local speakers.
Mr.. Cowan and Senator Worst spoke
Tuesday evening at Dickinson, and will
speak Saturday at Mandan. We trust
every voter in Bismarck and vicinity
will go to the Atheneum, so they may not
only hear but become acquainted with
the next attorney general of the state.
Mr. Cowan is an afable gentleman and
an agreeable speaker, and we hope TO see
the hall we'll filled. It is the duty of
every republican who can to go. The
pops are cordially invited.
Come out and hear the reason every
voter should vote the republican ticket
from top to bottom.

HE Chicago Tribune gives a concise
summary of the situation in New York,
when it says: "The enthusiastic nomin-
ation of tue Hon. Levi P. Morton for
governor of New York is an omen of re.
publican success in that state in Novem-
Der. 1t was the largest convention ever
held in New York, and there were not
wanting numerous candidates for the
gubernatorial honor. There were ex-
State Senator Fassett, famous for his as
saults upon Tammany, Cornelius N.
Bliss, the eloquent Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford, Gen. Daniel Butterfeld, and
9th ers, any of whom would make an
ideal governor, but before the first bal
lot was finished, it was apparent that
the large majority Of the 1872 delegates
were in favor of Mr.. Morton. He re-
ceived 545 votes, and was declared the
candidate amid such display of enthusi-
asm as has rarely been witnessed in a
state convention. Every one of the de-
feated candidates rose to his feet and
pledged himself to work for the ticket.
Their sentiment was voiced in the
pledge of Fassett: Il know only one
will, the will of 1872 representative re-
publicans. You have chosen an older,
a better, a more experienced leader than
myself. I stand read to follow wherever
he dare lead.'"

The voters of Burleigh county should
turn out en- masse and attend each of
the republican rallies to be held in the
city during the campaign, the first of
which will occur next Monday night.
The voters of the nation need an intelli-
gent understanding Of issues, to enable
them to meet the questions of the day,
which they are supposed to answer by
their ballots. Two years ago., for no
good reason which has yet been
set forth, the people of the country vot-
ed overwhelmingly for q change in the
complexion of their government. Moth
ing had occurred to demand this change.
Times were good, business was prosper
GUS, employment plenty and wages good.
There was no good reaso for a change,
but the voters declared they wanted one
anyway, just for the novelty of the
thing. They got what they asked for,
and for two years, they have been exper-
fencing the disastrous results of q hasty
and in~suficiently considered ballot.
This year, the voters want to vote intel
llgently, and with reason. They should
ask themselves what they have gained
from democratic and populist rule. other
than some very bitter experience. They
should refuse to lister, to the visionary
spouting of pretended reform orators.
They should argue and be willing to lis.

A CHANGE.

With this issue I have assumed edi-
torial management of the TRIBUNE, and
in so doing I have no promises to make
except that the paper shall continue to
support the principles of the Republican
party even more aggressively it possible
than in the past.
I have no friends to reward and no
enemies to punish with it's columns; all
matters of news shall, If commented
upon be treated fairly and impartially;
no change will be made in either the
force now running the TRIBUNE, or it's
manner of doing business. I shall not
be afraid to commend the right and con-
denim the wrong, calling persons and
things by their proper names.
Honestly differing with democrats
and populists, both in their party prin-
ciples and platforms, the TRIBUNE will
seek, by honest argument and without
spleen or vituperation, to convince all
readers of it's columns that the welfare
of the state demands the success of the
republican party.
1t shall be my earnest endeavor to
have it said by the citizens of Burleigh
county in the future as they have said in
the past, that they are proud of the
TRIBUNE, as an exponent Of every best
interest OF the Missouri slope, and of the
capital city of the state.

ticket. This they can do by attending
the caucuses to be held in the various
precincts IN Saturday next, and see that
none but those who will honestly and
earnestly support the republican ticket
this fall be allowed to come as delegates
to the county convention. If differences
of opinion must arise, as to the per-
sonnet of the ticket, let such differences
be settled in the convention, so that
when the ticket shall be nominated it
will receive the hearty support of every
republican. Send delegations to the
county convention that will give us a
good, clean ticket, composed Of honest,
capable men, and the voters of Burleigh
county will smite the populists with the
beason of political obstruction, hip and

The republican campaign was opened
at Lakota Saturday, with speeches from
Congressman johnson, Roger Allin, G.
A. Pollock and others. There was a
good healthy enthusiasm among the
hearers of these. speakers, and some
good points were made by the latter in
setting forth the contrasts between the
great parties, from a standpoint of sound
legislation and business principles,
which contrast is always favorable to re-
publicans. The visionary theories of
populism we're exploded by the good,
sound logic which is always fatal to
populism, and the Impression created
was a good one, whose dissemination
will work we'll for the republicans. The
campaigning will continue with unabat-
ed vigor from now on, and the republi.
ans will wage a warfare which will put
the state of North Dakota where it be-
longs, and where it's interests demand it
should be-in the ranks of the republic
cans.

Ransom County Gazette: Free raw

sugar for the laborer. That's democratic

Fargo Argus: The net loss to the
farmers of the United States on their
wool by the election Of Grover Cleve-
land was, 1O119 cents per pound. From
September, 1893, to June, 1894, the APP
probation of foreign wool at the export
point was a little over3 cents per pe:nd.
Therefore what is loss to the American
farmer has proven q gain to the foreign
wool grower. The farmer loses his pro-

facturer retaining his on his goods.

WI see some democrats in the city
who, not content with the abandonment
of their own ~party-the swallowing Of
the he1 estes and isms of the populists,
are o most active in working for the
selection Of delegates to the republican
convention. Whether this is done on
the theory that neither the democrats
nor ~populists have proper timber, and
they are compelled to go into the repub.
llcan ranks to find it, or with a view Of
weakening the republican party by i'm
proper nominations, they do not say, but
the latter may fairly be presumed.
Voters, when you are approached by
democrats or pops, who advise you what
to do in the coming caucuses, no matter

The republican campaign in North
Dakota opens to-day at Devils Lake.
where several prominent speakers will
address the voters of that community.
And having begun, there should be no
cessation of efforts until the close of the
campaign. The year, it may be said, is
a republican one, and the people have
already indicated, in one or two cleo
tions, their entire willingness to return
to the sound principles of good govern
ment, after two years of experimental
legislation. The results of the election
of visionary schemers, impractical theor-
lists and cranks, have been amply dem
onstrated in the social and industrial
disturbances of the two years last past.
The confidence of the business world
has been shaken, and is not yet even
fully restored. The sound principles of
good government, which have made the
nation what it was in 1892, cannot be
threatened without a business and flu
ancial disaster. If the voters of North
Dakota are wise, they will have seen by
this time the folly of the chase after the
will-o'-the-wisps of theoretical ard
visionary political parties. They will
see that the sole object of these politi.
cal cranks is to create disaffection,
whereby they may reap the benefits Of
the masses delusion, in electing them to
office. Party principles are trading
stock with them, and their beliefs are
elastic enough to suit all classes of the
disaffected. The impossible exchange
of nothing to ecure something is the
bait which they offer the u%nthinking,
and it is the nibbling at this bait which
has shaken the confidence of the bust
ness and industrial world. A return to
good, sound common sense, and a for
saking of day-dreams and theories is
what is needed to bring about better
times--not the experimental legislation
of the democrats or the unwise, impos-
sible and altogether visionary PROPOSE
tions of populistic legislation.

A MASS meeting of the citizens OF Cass
county was held yesterday, to discuss
means for preventing the inroads Of the
Russian cactus. All kinds Of schemes
we're suggested, but the feuce seemed to
be the only practical thing, and it was
voted II to 10 to recommend the county
commissioners to build a fence along
the south line Of the equity, and for two
or three towns on the west line at the
discretion of the board, at an estimate
expense of about $3.50 per mile. On the
basis of thirty miles, the estimated tax
on a quarter section, assessed at $1,000,
was placed at SO cents; 40 cents for
$500, and 30 cents for 5000 valuation.
Ii the line is built along the whole south
line, and on three lines on the west, it
would be double this. Many of them
declared they would pay ten times this
sun to guard their land. 1t was thought
that the cactus would lodge against the
fence, and, with a fire guard placed on
either side, they could be fred from
time to time, and thus be efectually de-
stroyed. A few rows of sunaowers
or corn could be drilled along the south
line of the farms, where farm fences
could not be built, and thus form tenn.
porary guards. Activity on the part of
town officers, and indeed of all persons
was urged and legislation was recon-
mended which would make the noxious
weed law operative and effective.

In speaking of the comparative reduc-
tion of wages and cost of living, under
democracy, the New York Tribune says
food constitutes about Al per cent. of the
cost of living, rent about Is per cent,
and clothing also about Is per cent.
Rents have not yet declined to any ex-
tent. Many articles of food sell at retail
about as high as in 1892, and some are
higher. Clothing has been reduced in
cast, and it was recently shown that tie
average for various woollen cloths was
about "a per cent. lower than in 1892,
but print cloths are only IA per cent.
lower, standard sheetings are at the same
price as in 1892, and though ginghams
and other articles have declined more
than 20 per cent, the average for cotton
goods is less. But if all clothing, being
Is per cent. of the whole, were one-ffth
lower than in 1892, the difference in the
cost of living would be only 3 per cent.
These facts explain why the fall in
wages has not been and cannot be com.
pensated by the cheapness of products.
The cost of food depends largely upon
arrangements for retail distribution, and
largely upon the crops. Rents must in
the end be affected by a permanent de-
cline in wages, but yield very slowly, and
only after vacant houses for 9 season or
two have proved that people cannot con-
tinue to pay the old rates. The cost of
daily transportation, Of water, fuel and
light, of local government, of religion
and societies and schooling, does not fall
ve1y quickly because wages fall. The
working people have to bear, at least
for some time, the curtailment of their
means of living without any correspond
ing decline in the cost Of living,
