right way, just as was slavery and states
rights. Argument and experience will
finally solve then, though in the mean
time ample opportunity will be afforded
the shyster politician to bob around and
make his little mark, playing upon the
credulity of the people, only at last, if
he was not honest in his pretensions, to
be buried in the potter's field of politics.
The honest politician cannot more dis.
guise his honesty than the harc.brained
fellow can. make his poke-berry record
fast-cOlored. There are many instances
where great statesmen were converted
from wrong faith and they were of suf-
flcient calabre to ratriotically turn from
the errors of their ways. There are, also,
great hosts of politicians who have never
advocated a great good cause, but have
always been on the wrong side, and, in
stead of confessing conversion when
their errors were made apparent by time
and experience, simply dropped them
and espoused others equally pernicious,
but more modern. Parties, like individ-
uals. seem to have characteristics that
after adult age constitute the character
and cannot be changed. To change them
without the aid of death, would be like
plucking grapes from lhistles or figs
from thcrns.
In great popular government it Is but
natural for the widest and most fantas.
tic schemes to originate within the semi
developed Uranium of the genus crank
everything from czarism to the most
helpless puternalism will find its willing
quota Of followers and cxpounders
Every problem that arise. however. will
finally be settled, and in the right way.

CONGRESSMAN BRYAN, of the first dis

the special session of congress, during
the silver debate, and was Bland 8 lieu
tenant on that occasion, has declined in

he uses the following language: ''If the

the republicans can carry out that policy

in the matter of paving the streets. GDut-
ing the thawing weather of spring, ard,
after heavy rains, the streets are almost
impossible. ] am informed that during
several weeks, recently, it was impossible
to haul loaded wagon here, and that
empty vehicles were frequently stuck in
the mud. At present the streets are dry,
but great hummocks of earth, alternating
with ruts and hollows, make it itimpossible
to drive, with comfort. faster than a
walk. 1t is a weakness of humanity to
murmur at the drawbacks which pertain
to particular section, and to accept as a
matter of course the advantages. A citi-
zen Of the Slope should take trip to the
Red River Valley in muddy weather if he
wishes to. awake to realization Of the
fact that he has the best natural roads in
the state.

Fargo fail to pay a visit to the colonel.

Letter From the Editor.

A0tt0f from the Editor
[Arrived too late for last weeks issue ]
FARGO, N. D., May 81, 1894. Think
ing that few items from the Gateway
City might be of interest to the readers
of the Record, 4 "take my pen in hand"
to formulate said items.
There are few loyal North Dakotans
probably, who do not feel an interest in
the progress of the metropolis of the state
When, last summer, word came that all
of the principal part of Fargo had fallen
victim to the fire fiend, it seemed even
to the settlers on the far-away prsiries of
the Slope that they had suffered per-
sonal loss. y was thought by many
that years would elapse before the city
would resume Kits former position and
that much ot3its business would be di-
verted to otherRed River points. True,
after the great fire in Chicago, the Gar
den City SOON rose from its ashes more
solidlY built and beautiful than ever. But
the eyes of the world had long been di-
rected toward Chicago. Foreign and
eastern capital had been invested there;
and from the same source came much of
the money that was used in rebuilding.
Fargo, however, was comparatively a
small place, and it was problem rs to
whether the latter city was necessity to
the business .of the state, and whether
the terrible calamity of '9S would not
place it far behind Grand Forks in the
race for supremacy, and keep it there.
But the tssyeler from another part of
the state whga nowsyisits Fargo for the
first time sincs;thelahre has all his doubts
quickly dispelled, for the city is being
rapidly rebuilt sand in a manner so sub
stantial and Systematic as to justify the
pride which its citizens feel in their cho-
sen home. Not even in Chicago, rela-
lively, was more energy and enterprise
manifested in4 rebuilding than has been
exhibited herA. After the fire last June
It was determined that no more frame
buildings shddld be erected in the busi~
ness district And, as result. wide side,
walks of fagstones, and solid stone and
brick business houses, have taken the
place of the tumble. down structures that
were an eeyesores before the fire. In Chi
eago, as above stated, foreign and eastern
tscapital came irsta assist in the work Of
Utilization, but in Fargo, where the
calamity was proportionateiy as great as
in the Giant ofsSthe West, almost without
texceptlen local money alone has been IN
vested.

The sensational case in which is
involved the estate of millionaire
Andrew j. Davis, of Montana, will
come up in the Suffolk county,
Massachusetts,, probate court next
month. Mr.. Davis died about four
years ago in Montana, leaving an
estate valued at over $5,000,000,
more than $l,000,000 of which is in
Boston.
Soon after his death search was
made for n will, but mono was
found, and Hon. r. M. Morse, of
Boston, and Judge Gideon Wells,
of Springfield, were appointed spe-
cal administrators of the estate in
Massachusetts,.
Later on, what was alleged to be
the last will of Mr.. Lewis was said
to have been discovered in Mon

FavOrs the Kentuckian.

More testimony was heard on the
Goth inst, at Olathe, Kansas, in
the Little-Johnson murder case,
and the weight of it was decidedly
favorable to Mr.. Little, who was
formerly of Kentucky.
Mayor Barnes, J. O. Fife and a
number of prominent citizens tes-
titled to Little's good character,
while n score of others testified
that Johnson's character and rep
utation in the same direction were
bad.
Major Drought stated that in a
conversation with Johnson a few
days before the killing, Johnson
said of coal deal that if the other
party beat him he would kill him,
showing his revolver. George Fans
tiel testified that shortly before the
killing Johnson told the witness
that if ever Little crossed his path
he would put daylight through
him, and exhibited the pistol with
which he said he would do it.
Frank Pitman testified that in
conversation in Justice Swingley's
office just before the killing, John
son said that there was not a black
er-hearted man on tho streets than
Little, and if he crossed his path
he would put daylight through
him.
