The year just passed is probably the
hardest ever experienced in North Da-
kota yet, when we compare the condi.
ton Of our people with the condition of
those in other sections of the country, we
are inclined to congratulate ourselves that
we are residents of this state. There is
no denying the tact that money is scarce
and hard to get, and that the yield of
our principal cereal was light and the
price very low, but we have yet to learn
of q single county in the state where des.
titution exists to any extent. No com;
munity is exempt; but upon the whole,
our people are in comfortable circum-
stances. We believe the experience Of
1903 will be Of untold benefit. Lisbon

Senator Hansbrough, in a recent inter
view, gives bis views Of the position
which the republican party should take
in the next national campaign, as follows:
"The lines upon which the next national
campaign should be fought, according to
my view of the situation, should be upon
the tariff and financial questions. Tho
republican party should stand where it
has always stood on the tariff. While it
has always advocated what is commonly
termed "the honest dollar" it must be
very careful next time that it does not 'ad-
vocate q dishonest one. There are many
kinds OF dollars. The dishonest dollar
is not necessarily the one that has so
cents of intrinsic worth in it 4; it is more
than likely to be dollar which has 100
cents Of intrinsic worth and 14O cents Of
purchasing power. II the republican
party will make an honest effort to equal
ize these two dollars-the one known as
the 60-cent dollar and the one known as
the 140-cent dollar--it will succeed, be-
cause whatever the republican party has
undertaken to do on the financial ques.
tion heretofore has been successful.

Protection an American Pr,ncip,,

Protection an American Principle.
A new stock journal, Wool and Mutton,
has been started at Minneapolis, to be de-
voted particularly to the sheep and wool
interests of the northwest. The import.
ance of this region as sheep-producing
country seems to warrant the publication
of an exclusive sheep Journal Regard.
ing the prospects of the sheep business
from the political standpoint established
by the proposed changes in the tariff OF
the present administration, the editor in
his salutatory says: 1t might appear to
some whose faith is easily shaken that
with the darkening clouds of free trade
obscuring the sun of prosperity it is poor
policy to start sheep and wool Journal.
But, viewing the threatening storm as
these skeptics do, it is indeed good policy
to build ship to help weather the gale
or. to use another figure, dig cyclone
cellar to escape the storm. While we
have no great anxiety as to the outcome
Of democratic policy in so far as it may
affect our wool and sheep interests, we
are pleased to place our tiny craft at the
service of those who wear American
clothes, eat American grain and provis
fons; and who live in comfortable homes,
made so by the wage-earners' ability to
secure American wages those who are
engagedin supplying our mills and facto,
ries with goods, the present production of
which supplies about one.half the pro-
ductlon of our mills, thus admitting of
our domestic Industries more than doub-
ling, provided protection is given by the
American government. We cansider it a
solemn duty on the part of our govern.
ment to advance home industries first, and
allow our resources to be developed to
their fullest extent, guarding against un-
just combinations and trusts, that are a
menace to our thrift aud enterprise
This is "paternallsm;" but wisely admin.
istered by our government, the "unwhole-
some progeny" referred to by President
Cleveland is but dream. This is an
American principle, born in the dark
hours Of our early history; but as endur-
ing as the snow.capped peaks of the
Rockies, and as essential, in the main, to
the retention of our commercial suprem,
acy and the preservation Of, our prosper.

An Unusual Haul For Saturday In Police

The police made a great haul at the
city park last evening, and the court pre-
scented an unusually busy scene. for Sat
urday morning.
r. l. Zeller5 was charged with remov-
ing a watch from the display at the Ed
monds store yesterday. The only evil
dence IN the case was that Zellers was
there and left just before the watch was
missed. His case was referred to the
state.
Harry Green was charged with having
destroyed the usefulness of too much
white horse and disturbing the peace.
Harry looked pretty we'll for bum, and
as he told a pretty straight yarn, the
judge let him 60.
Tom Murphy walked in next with
limp and a cane. Tom said the charge
against him of drunk was unkind and
without foundation. The police thought
differently, though, and the judge
thought that not only his leg was bad, as
he declared, but his whole body was too,
SO he put him in a position to save travel
for at least five days
Frank Ladd and VIII Myers were call
ed together. Both were charged with
having disturbed the peace, but as no
disturbed peace could be found in their

Then things will boom, and money will
be made. From the Atlantic to the Pa

lance of AZ miles, and in the middle of
this is a lake 1 0 miles across. This
would bring down the actual cutting to

the great sand bar on the Atlantic side.

All This Talk or Judgeship for Martin
Is Foolish.

is Foolish.
The Washington dispatches every day
tell about how hard Senator John Martin
Ii trying TO get the appointment to the
new United States circuit judgeship
which has been created in this, the Eighth
district.
According to the constitution of the
United States Senator Martin is ineligible
to this office.
Section s, article 1 Of the constitution
of the United States says: mo senator
or representative shall. during the time
for which he was elected, be appointed
to any civil Office under the authority of
the United States which shall have been
created or the emoluments whereof shall
have been increased during such time"
This judgeship has been created dur
ing the present session of congress,
which clearly precludes Senator Martin
from the appointment, unless the senate
should decide that he was never elected,
or President Cleveland should hold the
office open until after the fourth of
March next, when Senator Martins term
as United States senator will expire.
In United States court circles it has,
from the time the creation of this Judge
ship was first talked of, been considered
that Judge Thayer of St Louis was the
man most likely to be appointed
