United States Court Items.

Clerk Montgomery of the United
States court IS wrethy over the charge OF
some musicians, and dispatch to a
Minneapolis paper that the Judicial
process Of the court had been prostituted
in order to bring number of members
OF Halls Orchestra to Bismarck from
Grand Forks to furnish music for an
entertainment. This in effect amounts
to charge that the clerk OF court and
marshal had conspired together to
squander the funds of the government
for private uses, by paying per diem and
mileage to these musicians as jurors
when they were not needed and had no
connection with any case.
Fargo Forum: Fred SCHNEIDER, deputy
United States marshal, has taken
seventy-five persons from Rolla to Bis,
marck as prisoners and witnesses fol-
alleged depredations on United States
lands. The charges are cutting green
timber without permission. It will
probably cost the government from $2O..
600 to $4,000, and may result in the
conviction and punishment Of few com.
paratively innocent men. The half
breeds at Rolls are very indignant.

A Satisfactory Play,

A Satisfactory Play,
The advance encomiuus on the play of
Alabama, by the company presenting it
Tuesday. were fully meritsd. No more
thoroughly enjoyable performance has
been given here. It was realistic
picture Of the south, transferred with
Photographic fidelity to tho north and it
made the audience forget the inoongruity
Of time and location. The food Of
southern moonlight that covered the
stage, the flowers, the sioging IN the DIS
tance, the strong and capable manner Of
telling the story IN Alabama, all con-
spire to present a complete dramatic
success. The ohivalry, romance, family
affection OF the real south are here
happily blended in play told in the
liquid accents Of the people of the old
south.
From criticism IN Fargo's morning
Argus the audience expected to see IN
Alabama fine work on the part of the
deservedly praised Clement Bainbridge
they we're not disappointed. But at
the same time were delightfully."- sur
prlsed to find that the cast contained
other actors of equal and special excel
lence
Frank Bangs, the handsome and noted
star of Silver King fame-at one time a
JOINT star with Booth and Barrett-gave
the audience treat, doing work sur
passing N artistic merit anything that
ever has appeared on the Jamestown
stage. Edward MASS Decatur was
clever-a fine bit OF character success
fully interpreted. Geo. p. Miller as Col.
Moberly, played with grace and polish,
making pleasing hit-especlally with
the ladies.
Bingley Fales is a manly fellow, with q
charming voice and a taking stage
presence. His business Is we'll done.
The ladies all are beautiful, sweet and
attractive. Miss Knowlton in the lead,
did creditable work. Miss Irving's Carrie
Preston ls pretty piece OF acting, and
Miss Louise McElroy, in her little char
aoter part OF Mrs. Stockton. did not pass
unnoticed. and made all that could be
made OF the lines.
It was beautiful play, excellently
cast, and gave all that can be called
satisfactory.

COUNTY HAS A CLAIM.
A Legacy from Territorial
Days Involving Few
Hundreds.
The Governors Friend Sauter
Appointed to the New
Judgeship.

States Attorney Conklin has requested
LaMoure county to issue another war
rant for $397lO, in place of warrant
dated Jan. 3rd, 1887, of the same amount,
which was cancelled by the county com.
missloners Of that county April 3rd, '93.
And thereby hangs tale and scrap of
history.
The Stutsman county commissioners
learned, incidentally, about q year ago,
that they we're creditors nearly s4OO
from LaMoure county and that war
rant for that amount, after having lain
for years, was cancelled. For what par
ticular items they had secured this
credit is now being investigated and an
effort made to secure another warrant in
lieu of the cancelled one.
Back in territorial days, what is now
the state of North Dakota, was then one
judicial district and court was held twice
q year in Fargo, en- the first Tuesday 10
June and December. LaMoure county
in 1881, aYd Grand Rapids made the
county seat. AS the population Of the
territory increased, the counties en-
braced il what is now known rs North
Dakota, were subdivided into other
judicial districts, and in '85 Stutsman,
Foster, Wells and LaMoure counties
constituted the Fourth subdivision of
the Sixth judicial district, and court was
held in this city once year only. Two
years later, IN 'S7, the counties of La
Moure and Stutsman constituted the
Fourth subdivlli ion OF the Sixth dis
trict and court was held twice year
in jamestown, in May and No.
vember. Again in 80 the leg,s-
lature changed the boundaries Of this
judicial district and LsMoure county
was constituted one subdivision and
court was held st tho county seat only ct
such times a. tho judge OF the district
prescribed. With the admission Of the
state into the Union the judicial asfouits
we're re.arranaed, practically - they ore
ct present, and LaMoure county wss
given . special term of court at specified
times each year and complete separation
made from this county.
It was during the territorial days,
when the two counties were in the same
subdivision, that LsMoure county 10
supposed to have become indebted to
this county for expenses incurred in the
maintenance Of the judiciary. For just
what service rendered is not known. A
search of the records Of the court and of
the minutes of the county commissioners
of this county will be made and an en-
deavor made to recover these $4O0.

DON'T SEE IT.
Morton County Officials Don't
Want to Put Up Their Share
of Expenses.
Theatre-goers Given a Rare
Treat.--Alabama Superbly
Presented.

The county is making an endeayor to
recover from certain other counties OF
the state their pro rata share of the cost
Of fighting railroad tax case. This, also, is
another old case and dates back to about
1888. The suit in question was brought
by the county and was in regard to certain
tax certificates. The principles in the
suit affected all counties along the line
OF the Northern Pacific similarly stu
ated and it seems that verbal under-
standing was entered into with some Of
the counties to assist in the defrayiag OF
the expenses Of the test case which was
instituted by Stutsman county. The case
was tried IN the district court, the county
beaten; an appeal taken to tho state gu
preme court and defeat again encoun-
tered. The case, for the third time, was
appealed to the United States supreme
court, aud reversal OF the decisions of
the lo1e courts secured. The expenses
Of the suit were about $500. Steele
county voluntarily paid it's pro rata
share OF the expense and settlement
was effected with Cass county, largely
interested. Recently an attempt was
made to secure an adjustment with Nor
ton county, their pro rata being about
500, but the commissioners of that
county don't see it that way. A. C. Nc
MILAN, this county's agent, 1t is said,
never met the Morton county officials IN
session and no record OF any agreement
prevails-the former commissioners have
removed from the county and their pres
ent whereabouts are unknown. An effort
will be made to secure their assistance
in securing 9 reimbursement. Ex-deputy
Auditor Nierling recently wss in Mandsn
looking up this county's interest.

electric light wires by the wind, "dim
religious light" filed the church. Kero-
sene lamps were necessary.
Wihaha oommaudery, KniRht's Tenn

Methodist church Sunday morning aud
listened to appropriate and able remarks
by the prelate OF the order, Rev. 8. E.
Ryan. The subject was temples and
temple builders ana vas peculiarly sp-
propriate. The church was we'll filed.
In the evening was held chil3ren's
missionary service. This custom has
been in vogue IN the Methodist church
for several years. The children took the
leading parts in the exercises and gave
declamations, recitations, songs, etc. The
choir also assisted in the program by
the rendition of numerous selections.
Some OF those who took part we're the
Misses Corwin, Alice Reed, Aggie
Bigger, Mae Miller, Finis Loomis, Edith
Kline, Master Frlese and numerous
others. A generous collection for mis-
sionary work was received.
The usual Easter services were held
at the Episcopal and Presbyterian
churches. In the latter, in the evening,
special musical selections by the choir
we're gwen. Communion services were
held in the morning. At the morning
services held at the Episcopal church a
collection of $2l3 was received. This,
when applied on the church debt
originally $1,50O-will reduce it to s46S.
The Gladstone dining room was hand
somely decorated with Easter lilies and
flowers Sunday. The sand storm pre-
vented several dinner parties from
assembling and enjoying the spread.
Each guest had 'aoral reminder at his

They were dainty reminders OF the day.
Some of the merchants Sunday dis
tributed highly colored Easter eggs to

josie Smith. orRsnist. They were as
sisted by Messrs. Warnock and Tunstsll,
the former with the violin and the latter
with cornet. The music was especially
arranged and prepared for the day by

OF special mention in the rendition OF the
sublime words interpreted by the music.
Regina Coeli, by Lambollott, was sung
during the taking Of the offertory.
Father Connolly made few appropriate
remarks in regard to the day which the
service celebrated.

COLD COMFORT FOR TANIMANY

A review of the complete returns
OF the election in New York City
gives victorious Tammany cold COM
fort and is by no means discourage
ing to the champions of Good Gov
eminent in that city. Tammany
scored a victory but it was due to
the usual apathy of the men who
stand by honest politics except
when it is easier to stay at home
than to go to the polls. There
were no city offices of particu-
lar Importance to be filled. As
is remarked by the Nation, the
real trial will come in the mayoral
election of 1897. at is in that
year that we shall find out finally
whether the reform sentiment
which worked so powerfully for
good has held firm.
"Tammany's highest vote this
year is $4,000. Last year it was
10000. Here is a gain of only
10000 votes. The accessions of
10000 German voters on the eX-
else issue would account for all
this increase. Nobody doubts that
there were more than double that
number of accessions. a generous
estimate OF the thick and Tam
many vote this year is 10000.
This Is only a little more than a
third of the total vote cast, which was
about 242,OOO. 1t Is the old story.
The people OF the city have allowed
a minority of their number to get
the upper hand OF them in an cleo
ton. Several thousand German
voters helped directly to put Tam
many in the front by voting for its
candidates. but Tammany would
have been defeated had not a much
larger number of voters, who took
the trouble to register, refrained
from voting. The total registration
was 2S1 900, and the total vote was
not much over $4,000. Nearly
10000 voters, for reasons known
only to themselves, had interest
enough in the election to register,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-11-29

but lost that interest before election
day arrived. Undoubtedly many
OF them chose abstention from the
polls as the best method by which
to express their disapproyal OF the
enforcement OF the excise law.
They could not bring themselves
to the point of voting directly for
Tammany neither could they
bring themselves to the point OF
voting in favor OF the American
Sunday 4 large number OF other
voters came TO a similar conclusion
about the relative merits OF the
Fusion and Tammany tickets.
When professed reformers told
them that one was little better
than the other, and that it was
really a choice between Platt and
Croker, they decided that they
would not vote at all"

By what system OF fine hail
splitting the Council OF State based
its action in releasing five OF the
political prisoners on Thursday ii
is impossible to state. The work
has been done and "a a result every
principle attending the organiza-
ton and final action of the
Military Commission has, in our
opinion been completely and thor
oughly emasculated. The whole
affair has to all practical purposes
been declared a farce and the
foundation principle held up to
this country and the world as
unsound. Why prolong the agony
and make the farce more complete?
Let us have an end OF the hair
splitting methods and wipe the
boards clean of every vestige of
punishment for political crimes.

and in order to be consistent the
doors Of Oahu prison should be
opened to every revolutionary poll
tician now within its walls. We
have no right to let Harry bear
the punishment while Tom and
Dick, whose crimes were equally
serious, enjoy their freedom. The
Executive legislative body has
passed its judgment on the general
scheme OF political imprisonment,
now let the spirit of that verdict
be carried out to the letter. Re-
lease the political prisoners and do
it at once. Don't wait till Christ

friends will be just as grateful on
