1t might have been better; it
might have been worse. In all the
big states there have been great
Democratic gains last year. The
party sregaining its voting strength.
In Ohio Campbell has won what
is equivalent to real victory.
The cause Of deepest regret is the
defeatof Judge Edward Lane in the
Eighteenth Illinois district. The
leaders and the press of the party
made gallant fight for Judge Lane,
laying aside all differences of judy
ment on single questions. The result
in Illinois is a lesson upon tho
necessity of full and generous con-
sideration for all the elements of
opinion on disputed questions.
The party must be able to utilize all
its str, myth. 1t cannot rely upon
any gains whatever from the repub-
lican ranks or from those of the
populists. Maryland's turning over
of things should have little signii-
canoe. The democracy will not be
benefited and the rep ,blicans will
reap some advantage from the result.
But the state will be in the right
column next year. German is not
the democratic party of Maryland.
TUESDAYS figures prove that the de.
mocracy is aoundantly supplied with
the votes to win in 1896; but that
the votes must be organized, satisfied
and honestly led. Now we know
what is before US. We can win if
we will.

Exit Falardeau.

From the Devils Lake Inter .Ocean.)
Something over year ago an attor-
ney named Falardeau came to this city
from Langdon and announced his
intention of making his home here.
His wife was buxom brunette with i
soulful eye who looked as ii she had
seen something of the ups and downs
of the world, especially the latter.
She was sweet singer and hercharm-
ing rendition of dat Little Alabama
Coon" will long be remembered in
Devils Lake social circles. Mr.. and
Mrs. Flardeau cut quite swath in
society for some time after their ar
rival and no gathering was considered
complete without their presence, but
this did not last long. Mr.. Falardeau
was not in the habit Of stinting him
self in the matter of purchases, SO long
as no money was required, but when
merchants presented their bills at the
end OF the month his office was either
locked up and he was out Of the city
or else he stood them off the coolest
manner imaginable. He was soon
spotted as a dead beatand this did not
tend to make him popular. "A month
ago he sent his wife east, ostensibly
because "her father was dying" This
was taken as an evidence that the
family were preparing to leaye and
creditors attempted to force payment.

same as that of any other similar
period. Plainly, we must look for
some other cause than climate
change for the universal phenomena
on of the subsistence of lakes and the
entire disappearance of ponds and
large sloughs. Nor is the explana.
ton far to seek. When the prairies
were in a state of nature their sur
face was covered by thick mat of
grass, which formed through
which only portion of the rain
fall and the water from melting
snow could permeate. All the
rest ran off, either in the steams or
into depressions in the face of the
country. We may lament this
change, but it is the inevitable re-
suit Of settlement and tillage. The
farmers in North Dakota are bother.
ed to get water for their stock aud
run the engines for their threshers.
They can no longer resort to conven-
lent sloughs, of which almost every.
quarter section formerly had one or
two. They muss sink wells. They
cannot eat their cake and have it,
nor can the water nature sends from
the cloud in rain and snow and at
the same time store it up in sink
holes and ponds. Their use of it
makes their crops, aud with this
they must be content.-Northwest

TAX 11srssA var Using.

Apparently they situation among
the Pembina county papers auent
the printing of the tax sale advertise
ment is very similar to that which
prevails here at home. We repro
duce from the Pioneer.Express the
the following legal points raised by
that paper which should to any fair
minded person or reputable" attor-
ney satisfy them that the action
taken by the county board was
justihable and that the people of
Cavalier county were in no manner
being imposed on:
Considerable comment is goingon by
some disappointed county papers as to
letting the tax sale advertisement this
year. We do not care to enter into any
personal controversy on this subject,
but for the sake OF letting the public
understand something about the real
substance Of the matter, we will give a
few of the legal aspects:
FIRsT-We believe that any reput-
able attorney, will say. that it's at least
a question whether it is legal to put up
the tax sale advertisement to the
lowest bidder.
SEcoND-That there would be no
question as to the legality Of the sale if
any legal newspaper were designated
BY the commissioners and the legal
rates specified in the law paid to the
publisher of the paper.
THIRD-That the right of the COM
missioners to designate any legal news
paper is unquestiOnable.
FoURTH-That no matter what rate
the publisher gets for advertising the
full legal fee for advertising is charged
by the county.
FIFTH That any difference possible
between the legal fee and any lower
sum actually charged is Insignificant to
the person whose land is advertised.
S1XTH-It is extremely doubtful if
the county has right to make profit
out of tax sale advertisement. as in
other kinds of legal advertisements the
law strictly prohibits attorneys or
agents from charging more than the
actual price paid for advertising.
SEvENTH-The purpose of adyertis-
ing lands for sale for taxes is two-fold
to notify intending or probable pur-
chasers, but mostly and particularly to
notify owners and lienOrs, that the
title to certain lands and lots is in dan.
ger from non-payment of taxes.
Legally speaking therefore the com
poiocionnre had a riuht tn DESIGN ate any
legal newspaper in the county.

District Court.

On Friday the business of the Nov
term of court was brought to a close.
The day was largely devoted to the
trial of Thos. Reilly, E. j. Moore, H.
Goodwin and D. Gleason, the FIVE
threshers charge with burglary and
assault in the Padden case, the details
Of which most of our readers are gener-
ally familiar with. The jury took less
than a hour to decide that the three
first named defendants were guilty as
charged but POUNDS insufficient evidence
to convict Gleason and brought in a
verdict accordingly.
During the period that the jury were
out Judge Sauter called up the COM
planning witnesses, Thos. Padden and
wife and admonished them for keeping
a disorderly house, giving them to
understand that recurrence of the
complaint would compel the court to
infict the extreme penalty of the law
& After discharging the jury the Judge
called up the prisoners and imposed the
following sentences.
Henry Jennings, for maintaining a
common nuisance, ninety days in the
county jail and a fine of 5000 with the
option Of serving out the fine at $40 per
day.
John Palmer, for assault with deadly
weapon with intent to kill, one year
and two months at hard labor in state
penitentiary.

state penitentiary.
IA Moore, for burglary in the
third degree twenty months at hard
labor il the state penitentiary.
Harry Goodwin, for burglary in the
third degree. one year at hard labor in

Hines Railroad.

Two meetings were held at the court
house yesterday by President Hines,
of thei Farmers Railroad, both of
which were largely attended by re-
preventative men of the city and farm
ers of the surrounding country. The
object of the meeting of course being
to hear Mr.. Hines explain plans for
further work on the road. which is
daily resolving itself into sure thing.
County Treasurer Robertson was the
choice of those present on both occa-
sions for chairman and besides ably;
filling the position showed himself to
be an enthusiastic worker for its COM
pletion. The first speaker introduced
was Mr.. r. McEldowny, of Duluth,
who is co-worker of Hines in the
building of the road. He spoke of the
great advantages that a direct line
from North Dakota's wheat fields to
Lake Superior would be to both the
people of the Northwest and the .citi-
zens Of Da.ath. Chairman Robertson
then proceeded to.introducedMr Hines,
who pointed out on a map the pro-
posed route of the new road, which
starting from Duluth runs west to
Thief River Fall, from there to Dray-
ton: then by St. Thomas, up the noun
tain through Langdon west with a
final outlet at Portal on the 500 line.
He outlined the plan of building and
explained how this direct line would
lessen the freight rates to terminal
points nearly one half, besides opening
up a section of country near Thief Riv-
Ell Falls rich in timber and minerals.
Mr.. Hines explained that already much
grading had been done by farmers who
had taken their payment in stock.
His plans for further progress is to
issue 100000 worth of stock, to be
assessed us soon as issued at 90 per
cent, which will provide funds for
clearing right-of-way, grading and
| placing ties ready for the rails, at
which time the road will be bonded for
$4,000 per mile. ALI this Mr.. Hines is
sanguine can be accomplished by next
fall if the friends of the road all along
the line will act unitedly and at once.
A number of business men expressed
themselves with one accord in favor
of Mr.. Hines work, also testifying the
the sincerity of their sentiment by the
purchase of stock in the road.

Kinds Word For Hines.
rrrom the Walsh County Record

d. w. Hines, the president Of the
farmers railroad, held forth last
Thursday afternoon and evening in the
g. A. r. hall. If push, energy and
moral conduct will build a railroad
Mr.. Hines will have one with steel
bridges and brick depots, vestibuled
trains and air break freights. We be-
lieve him to be the biggest hustler that
ever undertook gigantic enterprise
without capital. He met with some
encouragement here; one man handed
him 800. 1t is claimed if this road gets
to Drayton it will shorten the distance
to Duluth 100 miles and freight rates
will be brought down. He has between
forty and fifty miles graded. After
the meeting he started for Drayton,
late at night, and thus he keeps push
ing.

WATER IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Of the drying up, year after year,
of the slougbs and ponds that used

of climate is in progress and that
there is less annual rain and snow
fall than there was in the seventies
and the early eighties when the
country west of the Red River of
the North was receiving its first
settlement. OF course, this is a
delusion.No appreciate changes of
climate have taken place on any
part of the North American CONT

North Dakota the records made by
army officers at the military posts
