HON. M. N. IoHNsoN,

Mr.. johnson two years ago was not
our personal choice as nominee fol
representative. There were certain
race prejudiccs put behind him that
We did not like. He had made Ger.
tain mistakes In personal judgement
that VIC feared might be repeated at
Washington. But after two years in
congress We are glad to admit that
his record is clean, able, and indus.
trlous. Personally Mr.. johnson IL
finely educated, and well posted. He
Is every inch gentleman. No North
Dakotan, no matter what his politics,
but what will acknowledge that N.
N. johnson has q congressional record
of which he need not be ashamed.
We advise all our readers of all par.
ties to 60 and hear MI. johnson speak.
While his political ideas might dis.
agree with yours, you will at least be
interested In hearing the other side
given In gentlemanly and argument
alive manner.

When Cavalier people and the St.
Thomas Times say that large sums Of
money must necessary be spent on
the old court house 10 the near future,
they lie. The business Of the county
has not materially increased during
tho last eight years, and the present
court house has served the purposes
OF the county fully as we'll as the
house Of the average farmer has for
him. There arc few people but
desire . better and finer house for
themselves. They don't feel able to
build just now. viii you vote to

We understand that some of the
present county officials who are
speaking In Independent meetings,
are using the blackboard "to prove''
that some other county officials are
not honest and arc costing the county
too much, Now almost all the pres
ent county officials owe their posi-.
tiOns by aud to the vote Of the pops at
the last election. 1t is also a fact
that there Is not an ofiicial record
that has been made during the last
two years by county officers that could
not be criticised and made to look
badly on o blackboard before a pre-.
JUDGED audience.
The PIONEER EXPRESS has not de-
sired to 60 Into this sort Of work; 1t
does not believe In it; it is not fair ia
make such ex-parte criticisms with
out opportunity or explanation. We
ask the people who are doing this
thing to remember that the books
and acts of each and every county
omcer are open to and submitted by
law to quarterly examinations by the
county commissioners, three Of whom
are members Of the pop party. II

One OF the amusing afGumonts used
by the papers supporting the candi.
dacy Of Cavalier for the county seat
10 the easy wsy Of proving that sums
Of money like e95;000 or go. 900 are .
mere nothtng-when divided. But
We think that 1t will take more a.
gument than that yet used. to prove
to the people who are paving taxes
out Of the proceeds Of 40 cent wheat,
that 81, 900 is not very large sum Of
money In these times.
Twenty-Five thousand dOllars! That
is the sum that they say is nothing!

What do you think about It tax pay.
ers? Is 1t nothing? Is that all?
Well 10 the first place, 1t is more than
eight dollars apiece for every tax pa

there are now $4,000 in bonds on
which We are paying interest for the
present court house, besides this,
there Is $1,000 1t other bonded In.

small sum "when divided" why don't
We pay our present Indebtedness In.
stead Of paying Z and 8 per cent in
tetest per year all the time; 200 .
year is quite . sum Of interest TO
waste II 1t is 80 easy TO pay tho prlnci-
pal.
But according to our Cavalier and
st. Thomas friends 81, 900 Is nothing
"when divided" Well We would ask
the Cavalier calculators how about
$4,000 Indebtedness, Is that . small
sum? We owe $4,000 now, and the
removal Of the court house will
cost t25,0o0 more, according
to their own figures. :. II built, Il
should cost at least S3t, 900. For that
Is the least sum new court house
for . county Of this size should cost
when built, and for proof look at any
OF the court houses 10 counties In the

The ways and means committee, hav-
ing under consideration the revenue
bill, were sitting behind closed doors
and were impervious to cards. The
messenger at the door would take none
in He had his instructions and lived
up to them. But while the group of
correspondents cooled their heels out
side, in company with a few interested
tariff experts, lady of imperious mien
swept up and handed the doorkeeper
her card.
Take that in to my husband" she
exclaimed.
The doorkeeper hesitated, caught her
eye and disappeared without a word.
In a moment the ladys husband
emerged.
John" she said, "did you take those
pills?"
Yes, my DEAR" was the meek re-
sponse
"All right. Now you must take one
of these powders" and she handed him
little paper package.
He took it, reentered the committee
room, swallowed the potion, and then
business was resumed.-Washington

ANTARCTIC SIGHTS.
Some of the Things Sailor Has Seen
Near the South Pole.

Some of the Things Sailor Has Seen
Near the South Pole.
While scientific expeditions from sew
eral countries are endeavoring to pene-
trate the icy belt that guards the North
Pole, attention is again drawn to the
interesting mysteries surrounding the
other end of the earth's axis by the re-
ports of the experiences of the whaling
steamer Balaena in the Antarctic seas
Mr.. w. S. Bruce, who accompanied
that vessel in her recent cruise, quite
electrified the geographical section Of
the British association at its last meet
ing BY his account of what he had
seen, and his offer to go and live year
in South Georgia or Graham's Land if
he could have his expenses paid. A
subscription for the purpose was started
at once.
The chance of reaching the South
Pole itself is probably far less than
that of reaching the North Pole, be-
cause the ice has a greater extension
around the former.
But there are evidently immense
masses of land in the neighborhood of
the South Pole concerning which we
know very little, although the meagre
reports of those who have seen their
shores and their mountains serve to
arouse very keen curiosity in regard
to them!
Mr. Bruce speaks of the evident vol
canic character of some of the noun
famous lands he saw, and he thinks he
caught sight of long range of noun
tains covered with glaciers constituting
the hitherto unseen eastern coast OF
Graham Land. He observed icebergs
of enormous size, some of them being
no less than ten miles in length. They
were not, however, of great height,
uarying from seventy to two hundred
and fifty feet.
A curious indication of the ability OF
living organisms to flourish in the pres
ence of a freezing temperature was
| furnished by the fact the bases Of the
great icebergs were colorcd brown by
diatoms and similar organisms

Boards.

The Moors hold by their boards when
they swear, in order to give weight to
their oath, which after this formality
they rarely violate. The length of
beard seems to weigh with them more
than the stock of brains.
Admiral Keppel was sent to Algiers
to demand satisfaction for the injuries
done to his Britannia majestys sub
jects by their corsairs; the dey, enraged
at the boldness of the ambassador, ex-
claimed that he wondered at the in
science of the English monarch in
sending him message by foolish,
beardless boy"
The admiral, somewhat nettled, re.
piled that III his master had supposed
wisdom was to be measured by the
length of the beard, he would doubt
less have sent the dey he goat"
This answer so enraged the dey that
he ordered the mutcs to attend with
the bow-strings, saying that the adj
miral should pay for his boldness with
his life. Nothing daunted by this
threat the ambassador took the dey to
the window, and showing him the
English feet said: IF it was his
pleasure to put him to death, there
were Englishmen enough in that feet
to make him glorious funeral pile. y
The dey, who wore long beard
