I have always thought it bad policy
to quit old friends to make new ones.
They say it is to be a non partisan con-

good can it 60? We in Northampton
county have had some little experience
in the non partisan conventions, and
well remember what the result was.
Just piror to the beginning of the last
campaign, partisan convention was
held in the good old county of North

Democratic party, from which we have
not yet recovered. Now | am free to
confess, that, with the present light be-

ROADS TERMINUS IS FURTHER YVES
Decision Which Costs the Northern pi
cific Valuable Land.

Decision Which Costs the Northern Pa
eirie Valuable Land.
Washington, Nov. IA. - Secretary
Smith decided a very important case
today. holding that the eastern termi-
nus Of the Northern Pacific railroad is
either Thompson, Mimi, or Superior,
Wis. instead of Ashland, Wis, as has
always been claimed by the company.
About 100000 acres is lost by the COM
pany. The secretary does not under
take to say whether the grant begins at
Thompson or Superior City, but directs
that all selections for indemnity lie
tween these points be held up for fur
Their consideration. He does declare
that the grant of the Northern Pacific
does not extend east of Superior City
He also says he is aware that the lands
east of Superior were the basis for the
selection of a large quantity of lands
from the indemnity belt of the com
pany's grant in North Dakota. These
selections having been made some time
ago. many, If not all, have perhaps been
sold by the company.
The secretary has directed that the
company be allowed 60 days from the
notice of this decision within which to
specify a new basis for any of its in
demnity selections voided by the de-
cision, and during that period no con-
tracts against such selections where
the charge is that the basis was made
of lands east of Superior City, or
against applications to enter under set
Element laws, will be received.

sion at Trinity church this morning.

ceipts last year were 81, 137, S07; increase,

The day was taken up in the discus
sion of appropriations. Bishop Foss

for the total work Of the society for the
| coming year. Bishop Foster offered an
amendment making the amount 81, 10O,-
co., 10 per cent to be applied on the
debt. After a long debate Bishop Foss'

SETTLEMENT OF RAILWAY DeeTs

WIN Be Most Interesting.
Washington, Nov. 15.-The report of
Secretary Smith viii be one of the
most interesting that has been made by
a secretary of the interior for several
years. There are several features
which will be an innovation in this de-
partment. More interest centers
around the recommendations the secre-
tary will make for the settlement of the
Pacific railway debts than anything
else. 1t is known that Mr.. Smith be-
lieves In a continuous line Of Pacific
roads from Omaha to the Pacific ocean
and that he thinks such a line can be
operated TO an advantage.
Some time ago Secretary Smith held
up all the patents of the land to the
Pacific railways which were bond aid
ed, amounting to 100000 acres. Wheth-
err this is an indication that he intends
TO make some rather radical recon-
mendations to congress is not known.
but ii is a fact that the secretary has
been securing statistics relative to the
earnings of the roads and their ca
pacity to earn enough to pay a moder-
ate interest upon the present indebted
ness 1t is expected that congress will
undertake to legislate upon the subject
OF Pacific railway indebtedness during
the coming session and the secretary
Will no doubt recommend a plan of set
Element.

Goodwin followed by acts at Kalispell,

sympathy, If any existed, which is doubt
full as the causes for dissatisfaction were
in the main not sufficient to justify a gen
eral strike. The lesson to be learned is
that strikes inaugurated by threats of
violence and anarchistic utterances will
not be successful or sanctioned in coun-
try which will allow freedom of speech
