1894: This year will be memorable for

We had the pleasure, n day this

him in that grade.
"The president says the authority at.

president to thus make an appointment

Budd and Democracy.

buQd Reeve continues to contribute
interesting letters to the ST. Paul Globe.
In his latest, he raps democracy some
sharp blows over the knuckles, and
makes a pointed argument against the
fusion ticket Of the demo-pops. He fails
to see the logic Of such indorsing as
was done at Grand Forks, and it will
tickle Denny Hannafin to see that Budd
is following Denny's advice, when he
says:
One thing is clear; we must have a new
set of servants; some who will mind and
do as told. The head waiter, Grover Cleve-
land, has done his best, but he can't make
the other servants move promptly. In
North Dakota there is no venison. A few
political pot hunters have crawled out OF
dark holes and presented us a lot of popu-
list Endorsements for savory democracy.
Great meat this is to support and nOurish
a sick and furnishing party. Such food
would bring q pauper in apoor house down
to q premature grave. No wonder demo-
Gratis are reduced to shadows and played.
out cripples. We can't live on dried snakes
skins, toads, rats, Lizards, bedbugs and
flies and call it savory meat. We must
have something more substantial and dem
Ocratic. When we are asked to abandon
all our own principles, desert our W
faith, and 20 right opposite to the way we
wish to go and think is right, can we be
blamed for hating and asking for more
light ? III
A populist has a right to be a popuIist,
and a republican a republican. But when
we are asked to take a pOpulist for a dem
Ocrat, l am frank to confess that I am
too stupid to see how the democratidlparty
and democratic principles can be built up
in this way; and I find many others who
think and feel the same.
Democrats claiming to represent the
democracy of North Dakota met in con-
yention at Grand Forks and adopted a
platform. Then they turned right around
and nominated candidates who were al
ready nominated 0 n an entirely different
platf0rm, and in many respects sworn en-
iemles to the democratic party.
Vetoed. :
The senate bill for the relief Of Louis
a Yorke Of this city, which passed both
houses and was sent to the president,
has been vetoed by President Cleveland.
This is n Of 9 number Of vetoes of the
kind which have been made by the pres
1dent, who objects to special Legislation
for the relief Of army or navy officials.
Advices from Washington, under date Of
August 18th, sayof the bill: "The vice
president laid before the senate to-day q
message from the president, returning
without his signature the senate bill

More Fish,

WITHIN q few more years, it the
stocking of lakes and bodies of fresh
water within the state continues, there
may exist in North Dakota, some ideal
summer resorts, where waving trees may
afford relief from the occasional intense
heat, where a plunge in the cool waters
of one of the numerous lakes may re-
fresh the overheated and sweltering
pleasure seeker, and where a days ang-
ling may be found at a short distance
from home, to afford recreation and
amusement to the disciple of Isaak Wal
ton.
Through the efforts Of those who are
interested in this work, stocks Of fish
have been secured for Spiritwood lake,
near jamestown, and for Devils Lake.
These will be sent on by the United
States department. of fisheries within q
month or SO. Joseph Dietrich has been
doing some correspondence, also, to Sc
cure q stock of fish for some Of the
lakes up north, and has been successful.
He has a letter from the department that
within 60 days, the fish car of the United
States fish commission will be here, and
that 80 black bass, Is crappie, 20 rock
bass and so carp have been assigned as q
test quantity for one OF the lakes neal
loves ranch. The lakes in question are
Of clear, cold water, and seem edapted
for the healthful development Of a stock
OF fish. Arrangement will be made to
received the fish in portable vessels Of
water, and they will be transferred to the
lake at once.
A year or 30 ago., stock Of fish was
left here by the commission, but, through
some inopportune circumstances, they
were unable to be transported, this first
attempt proved a failure. It is hoped,
however, the next supply may be sue
~cessfully transported, and the fouDda-
tion laid for an anglers resort, which
shall rival some Of the older established
ones.

The Chinese are becoming conscious
OF their deficiencies In this respect

arithmetic into their system Of edu

was the following:

that Mayor Hopkins call on tine police to
do their duty was of little good, as the
police were not numerous enough to more
than guard crossings. Previous to that
trains were aban doned because of the i'm
possibility of getting new men to act as
crews because they were afraid of the
mob. The police seemed powerless, or
made no attempt TO interfere. Several
policemen stood by while cars were over
