This year North Dakota will have
to elect congressman, governor and
full set of state and county officers,
lower house of the Legislature and
nalf the senators. And most news
papers will be just fools enough again
says writer; to pay out their good
dollars for printing free notices of
caucuses and conventions-and, as
llsual-not even get thanks for it..
The average country newspaper in
this state probably pays out $50 in
cash for printing notices of meetings
etc., during campaign. Grocers
and dry goods merchants have more
sense. Political committees can't
work them into paying out money
or furnishing materials-for the
good of the party. They get paid
for what they sell, and so could

and would stick together for their
rights.-Forum.

PLEASANT VIEW.

As the atmosphere of North Dakota
has tendency to make one drowsy +,
and the quietness of the prairie helps
to intensity this feeling TO such All ex-
tent that we have had a deep sleep
come over us lasting for over two
weeks. But one morning we were sud.
denly awake from our lethargy by
the beautiful zephyrs of North Dakota
Slowing 50 hard rs to maze the house
rock, but the people of this vicinity
have been keeping pace with the
movements ofthe world as they always
do.
Our school is increasing in numbers
every week, there being % enrolled
now with more coming. The average
last week was II, which speaks well
for a prairie school. We understand
that the school is going to be little
patriotic and celebrate the birthday of
the father of our country with suitable
exercises.
The lyceum officers for the present
term are: President, Alex. Mcmillan;
Vice President, Miss b. Urquhart; Sc.
cretary, Gas Rothert; Assistant Secre.
tary, August Evers; Treasurer, Peter
Gorthy. They have conducted the
meeting once and showed that they
were able to do so in first class shape.
Question for debate next time is Re.
solved, That Lafayette deserves more
praise for fighting tor the American
independence than Washington does
for defendingit. Everybody come and
spend Il pleasant evening.
The Alliance met ON Saturday, Jan
2jth, but the weather WAS so bad that
they did not finish the debate, but will
meet on Saturday, February 10th, and
discuss the same question. Everybody
come and bring their friends. The
question for debate has been adver-
tised in the Courier SO that erybody
knows that 1t is one of the leading il.
sues of the day.
Messrs. Simon and August Evers
have been down TO Sanborn for about

The Lyceum held It's regular meeting
last Tuesday evening and large crowd
attended. The programme was not
very extensive. The News Of course
was the chief attraction, but its editor
had taken SO much OF the. news from
the Courier that it was somewhat stale.
This eonsumptlse organ predicted that
it would atteaa the funeral of the
Courier-a statement it makes every
tiEAe it comes out. 1t resembles tho
ground hog somewhat. 1t crawls out
occasionally, and then feels so ashamed
/ of itself that it hus:les back into its den
and remains there for several weeks.
However, if it should be the good for
tune Of the News to attend our funeral,
it will be an honor it seldom enjoys.
But then We are not going to die just
yet, while on the ether hand the News
has been dead for long tine.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
And Other Matters of Interest
to the Readers of the

The St. Pau! Globe says "the pub
lie will be gratified to learn that the
expenditures for pensions have now
taken downward tendency" and
that Commissioner Lochren finds
that he will have to ask thirty million
less than the amount appropriated

"has been brought about by the
deaths OF pensioners, end in the nat
iral order OF things will continue
from year to year." Editor Vallan-
t'igham, Of the Valley City Patriot,
gets back at the Globe as follows:
The foregoing from the St. Paul
Globe, is an insult and a libel on
every loyal American citizen. Yes,
the pensioners will soon all be gone

and prosperity and to whom they be
gfudge the few paltry dollars they
owe for the sacrifice of life, limbs
and health-given that the nation
might live. "Thirty million dollars
less in a single year" Think of how

The Fargo Argus has new Col.
tor its editor and manager, Col.
Shaw having quit his yob. 1t seems
as though the woods are full Of
Coils. What is the matter of some
enterprising legislator getting bill

the title of Col. to all newspaper
men. That would put all of us fel-
