ALTHOUGH it looks now as though
there would be a big fight against the
Russian thistle appropriation i n the
house, a number Of the congressman in
the northwestern. states will fight for it,
and will fight the whole appropriation
bill if the amendment is left off. Aside
from those directly interested, other con
gressmen are convinced that some such
appropriation is necessary for the eradi-
cation Of the pest, and will support the
amendment. 1t is difficult to hazard q
guess as to what a democratic congress
will do, but if the measure can be gain
ed, it will be a source of great benefit to
the agricultural interests in North Da-
kota and all Of the northwestern states.

The republican state central commit
tee, by it's executive committee, has an
important duty before it in the carry
ing on Of q campaign. What is needed
this year, is a thorough presentation and
contrast of party principles, to the voters
OF the whole state. There is need for q
clean and thorough campaign. There is
need for an explosion of the ~fallacies and
visionary theories Of the popullsts, and
it can be done only by an earnest cam
paign. It will not do to say that the
theories presented by the pops will ex-
plode by their own self-evident impos-
sibility. They must be met and their
fallacies exposed. To this end, the re-
publicans need a clean, thorough, and
earnest campaign, carefully conducted.

ALL kinds of reports are circulated as
to probabilities in regard to the two
tickets Of the democrats and populists,
and schemes suggested where one man
can be pulled of n ticket, and one
supplied on another, until the dems and
pops fuse all around. How much Of
truth there is in these reports remains
to be seen, but one thing which cannot
but be evident to any one who takes an
unnprejuaiced view Of the situation, and
that is that both of the parties have
demonstrated and are demonstrating
their complete willingness to sacrifice
principles, platforms and promises IN
order to ecure election. They are no

longer political parties, with the accom-
plishing of certain purposes in view, but
q horde of eager Office grabbers, willing
to sacrifice anything and everything in
the mad rush for Offices. Their boasted
pretenses Of reform are the veriest Of
frauds and humbugs, and their political
lode is complete in the one expression
"Get an Office" No more monumental
frauds have ever imposed themselves
upon the voters Of any state than the
two parties Of democrats and populists,
who profess reform principles, and then
sacrifice party honor, principles and
everything in their hungry eagerness
for the financial benefits to accrue from
Office holding.

The democratic convention has mixed
a little spring chicken with it's crow, and
then swallowed the entire dish. It is
not probable the action of the conven
ton will have any visible effect upon the
majority of democrats in the state, who
DO not relish the treatment they have
received from the pops, and are not dis
posed to kiss the hand which has struck
them. The fusionists have been sue
cessful in the majority of the democratic
ticket, and the straight democrats will
have their turn when it comes to voting,
later on.

fore, was to be able to get near the carriage
and | took advantage of a moment when a
boy was being pulled down from a lamp
post to get under position beneath the
light.
The easy familiarity with murder
which characterized the testimony of
the assassin proves the danger from the
class which he represents, and the frank
ness with which he admits having
schooled himself to the proper degree Of
skill in the usage of the ponlard should
be sufficient to demonstrate the impossi-
bility of providing too severe a measure
for the punishment of Caesario and his
fellow anarchists.

The drouth which has prevailed in
North Dakota this year, is by no means
peculiar to any one section of country,
but seems to be destroying vegetation in
all parts of the United States. The re-
reports from Minnesota, Kansas and
Nebraska, are supplemented by one
from as far east as Connecticut. The
drouth set in a month earlier this year,
beginning in May, and is the severest
one in the weather records of the state.
The ground is baked like a crust, and
the rural roads are like a bed of ashes,
so that every breeze picks up a cloud Of
dust and sends it in binding showers
across the landscape. Streams and wells
everywhere are low or entirely dried up,
and in a number of towns farmers have
to go a long way with wagons and hogs
heads to get water from the rivers for
their stock. The fact that the drouth
began so early has reduced the size of
the hay crop by nearly a third, while
potatoes have been fairly burned up in
the fields. As a rule, the crop will
hardly pay for the trouble of digging it.
The peach crop, too, ia almost a total
failure. That there will be any over
production of agricultural products this
year is not possible, and the drouth may
have it's compromising benefits later on
in better prices for products, although
from present appearances the supply
will be light, even at the best Of prices.

The prohibitionists met al; Fargo The

The prohibitionists met at Fargo Tues
day, and put up a ticket for considera-
ton at the fall election. The ticket is
rather an odd mixture of endorsements,
j.. N. Bartholomew, Roger Allin and
Emma Bates of the republicans being
endorsed, L. A. Iceland, K. J. Nomland,
W. 81. Standish, Stevens and Cameron
of the pops being placed on the ticket
and the remainder of the ticket consist
ing of straight prohibitionists. The
convention adopted a platform, in which
woman suffrage and prohibition were
the leading features. General Standish
and Walter Muir were at the convention,
and the former succeeded in securing
the endorsement which he was unsuccess-
full in securing from the democrats.

than half q crop, if that much.

DEMOCRATIC state conventions over the
country are eulogizing the president and
matchmaking the senate. This is the
favorite means of escaping condemnation
for the unfultilled pledges Of the Cleve-
land administration. It does not require
a great amount Of d~iscernment, however,
to see that democrats, be they Of con-
gress, the senate or the White house are
tarred with the same stick, and that the
administration cannot be relieved Of the
odium resting upon it, by placing the
blame solely upon n body.

The American Economist sets forth
some wool statistics, which should be
read by every wool grower in the state,
to the end that he sees which party bene-
fits him and his industry. In 1878 the wool
clip of the United States was 600
pounds, but in 1884, when the stimulat-
ing effect of the tariff of 1867 had ceased
our wool clip had increased to 34O,OOO,-
900 pounds. President Cleveland was
first elected in 1884, and under the at
tempt to put wool on the free list during
his administration, the number of sheep
decreased from 5O,6OO,OOO sheep in 1884
to 43,5O0,00O in 1854 decrease under
President Cleveland's first adminlstra-
ton of 100000 sheep. When Mr.. Har-
rison was elected, the prospect of in
creased protection induced the growers
to stop the slaughter of their sheep, and
as a consequence the focks increased
from 43,50O,0OO in 1888 to over 47,OOO,-
600 in March, 1893, when President
Cleveland was inaugurated, an increase
under protection of 81 per cent. The
assault upon the industry by the free
wool policy has SO discouraged those en-
gagged in wool growing that more sheep
were destroyed in the first year of Pres
dent Cleveland's second administration
than were destroyed during the whole
four years of his first administration. OF
this amount one-half has already been
slaughtered in the city of Chicago since
March 4, 1893.

The general term of the supreme court
in Brooklyn has rendered q unanimous
decision affirming the conviction Of John
Y. McKane for his part in the Graves
end election frauds, for which he is now
serving a six years term in the state
prison. All the points brought forward
in McKane's behalf are overruled, and
the action of the trial court is approved
in every particular. This will end the
efforts in behalf Of McKane to secure
his release, and proves that ballot box
stufing and election crookedness in New
York has met with a new era.

GENERAL CoxEY is a great man. He
has advised his cohorts to go to Wash
ington, get themselves arrested for
vagrancy, and 90 to Jail. The general
fails to give any outline Of his own plans,
but it is safe to wager he doesn't intend
to practice his preachings. He has led
bis dupes astray, and wants now to get
rid of them, with the least possible
trouble to himself. General Coxey is
certainly a Napoleon in his way-but it
must be admitted that his is a peculiar
way.

NOTWITHSTANDING the hot weather,
congress continues to wrestle with
the tariff, and the business dead
lock continues to continue. Unless
some unexpected occurrence should
bring about q better feeling between the
two ORANGES Of democracy, the house
and senate will not agree. In the mean
time, business suffers, manufactures
amount to practically nothing, and the
whole nation stands in dlsmay at the
way it's representatives are fulfilling the
trusts reposed in them.

The crop report this week shows the
result Of the hot and dry weather Of the
past month in the shape Of small yields,
some as low as v obushels to the acre, Of
an inferior quality Of grain. In some
counties, conditions are better, wheat
averaging six to ten and twelve bushels
per acre. Corn seems about the best
crop, with potatoes 9 good second. Har-
vesting has commenced over the state.

associates, new and improved machinery
will be employed, both increasing the
output and reducing the cost of mining
per ton over the primitive methods hith-
erto employed, and it is expected that, as
a result, more of this coal will eventually
find its way into this market in competi-
ton with the product from Pennsylvania
mines.
The anxiety Of President Cleveland
for free coal may be explained by the
interest OF his e~x-secretary of the treas
ury in the Nova Scotia mines.

LIE u0uOCTdUlC convention III JrA0Q
Forks seemed a sort of farce all the way
through, and the dems hardly appeared
to know which means should be adopted
to bring to democracy just a few morsels
of comfort. There was a considerable
squabble over some of the planks in the
platform as first reported, one of them
reading that it respected the rights of
labor" but at the sam time it endorsed
the action of Cleveland in sending troops
to Chicago. This provoked a discussion
as to the wisdom of thus endorsing the
action of the president. Tracy Bangs
wanted to stand by the law, and endorse
his actions, while Finlay Grant and
some others didn't like to be- found en-
dorsing the resolution. The platform
was finally sent u and patched up, to
appear as follows:
RESOLVED. That we recognize labor as
the foundation of all our property, and we
pledge our hearty support to every lawful
effort ofithe laboring classes to better their
condition.
RESOLVED, That the democratic party of
North Dakota in convention assembled
endorse the National administration and
that our chief executive Grover Cleveland
is entitled to the aid and support of every
loyal citizen of the United States in sus-
tanning the principles of the government rs
he did in his letters and proclamations.
just how far letters and p~roclamations
are essential in sustaining the law, IN
cases like the Chicago riots, the conven-
ton failed to state, but they didn't think
it policy to say that they believed in u.s.
ing arms to preserve order if necessary,
and SO it was left as above. Another
plank which was not relished by all of
the delegates was one endorsing the Off
cial actions Of Governor Shortridge and
then the convention passed a tariff
for-revenue plank, and also one in favor
of resubmission, which latter was prob
ably passed with the greatest relish of
any part of the platform. Senator
Roach came in for an endorsement, and
gold and silver were honored with a res
o%lution, which for meaninglessness is
the browning climax of the whole dec
l~aration of principles. And having adopt
ed a platform, the democrats nominated
a ticket to stand on it, the majority of
the persons on which are populists, and
unalterab]y opposed to the whole demo-
cratic platform-who refused at their
own convention to endorse the actions
of Governor Shortridge, who have de-
clared all along against the course of
President Cleveland, who score him as a
m~onopolist, a goldbug, and as the per-
sonifcation of all things unholy, and
yet who are willing to stand on a plat
form which they detest cordially, for the
sake of election. How ludlcrous is the
position of both democracy and kopulism
III this instance! The democrats nomi-
mating persons who have knitted them at
every turn, and the pops standing on
two platforms, as radically opposed as
day and night. And yet, after this, the
latter declare for principles, not Offices
and rant of the steadfastness of their
party.
