Democrat Changes Hands.

Democrat Changes Hands.
We understand that the Bathgate
Democrat will again change hands
this week. The history of that sheet
for several years has been most Pc
culiar. AS every one knows. under
Mr.. Wilson's first proprietorship and
management, it became a valuable
property, enjoying a large patronage.
both in subscription and advertising.
Mr.. Wilson sold out and the paper
passed from hand to hand and gradu-
ally and naturally lost prestige aud
business, until at last, it became al-
most worthless as newspaper. Dur
ing these vicissitudes, as result of
money borrowed, and invested, the
plant came into the possession of Rey.
Father Gcnin, the Catholic priest of
Bathgate aud Neche. A little over q
year ago Mr.. Wilson again took hold
Of the paper, and as a result, the pa
per has regained q large amount of it's
original interest and increased its sub
scription list. During this time Mr..
Wilson has absorbed several other
county papers and carried each title
on separate page, and printing on
pink sheet. has called the whole ag-
gregation 'The Pink Paper" {:
But II we are rightly informed. Mr..
Wilson has not had any ownership in
1.-THE Pembina County Democrat"
during this time and did not pay any
rent for it. s
Now, 1t is said, that this week,
Father Genin has sold the Democrat
to Mr.. N. D. Gagnter, a former owner
and publisher and to. M. Parrault.
The latter gentleman was formerly q
priest, was deposed by Bishop Shan.
ley, then passed as a member Of the
bar and has lately been practiclng at
Park River.
Mr.. Wilson, it is stated, has gone
to the Twin Cities to procure e. new
outfit and will continue printing the
aggregation which he calls 1.-THE Pink
Paper" minus the Pembina County
Democrat, while the other gentlemen
will continue the Democrat; and the
outcome Of this parting of paper will
be observed with interest by all par
ties, and not the least by the subscrib-
ers thereto.
Mr.. Gagnier is we'll known as one of
the best typographical artists Of the
northwest and Mr.. Perrault is a
scholar with much literary ability,
who IS familiar with Journalism,
though we think this will be his first
direct editorial work. The two should
be able to make q first.class paper in
every respect, and they will find it
necessary, as their rival. Mr.. Wilson.
Is one of the best of newspaper men.

and Gagnier were in this city after
the services Of the sheriff to put them

Literary Note for Apr,l.

The general of the army, the gener.
al commanding the q. S. corps Of en-.
gtneers, Vice Pres. Webb of the New
York Central, and John Jacob Astor,
compose the Cosmopolitan Magazines
board of judges to decide the merits
of the Horseless Carriages which will
be entered in the May trials, fol
which the Cosmopolitan offers $4,000
III prizes. This committee is un.
doubtedly the most distinguished
that has ever consented to act upon
the occasion Of the trial of new and
useful invention. The interest which
these gentlemen have shown in &C.
cepting places upon the committee is
Indicative of the Importance Of the
subject, and that the contest itself
will be watched with marked interest
on both sides of the Atlantic.
Frank Stockton's new story, "Mrs.
Cliffs Yacht" which begins in the
April Cosmopolitan, promises to be
one Of the most interesting ever writ.
ten by that fascinating story.teller.
Readers of "The Adventures Of Cap
tain Horn" will find in "Mrs. CLIFFS

been waiting for.

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
Ward Clubs to Act Under the League

+. The better city government leaven Is
still at work, with the result that ward
clubs with that end in view are growing
About $50 representative citizens Of the
Fourth ward met in vacant store room
at No. 1858 South Pearl street yesterday
evening and permanently organized the
Fourth Ward Better City Government
club as an auxiliary of the Better City
Government league. w. C. Patterson
was elected president and George ..
Cadwallader secretary.
The chair was authorized to appoint
m executive committee and q finance
committee OF five members respectively.
also committee of three from each pre
cinct In the ward to secure additional
members.
Considerable discussion took place as
to whether 1t would be proper for menu
bers of the Better City Government
clubs to take part in the approaching
caucuses. primaries and conventions Of
the old political parties for the nominal
ton of candidates for city offices. There
was much diversity of opinion on this
Qestion, but the majority of those pres-
emit seemed to favor independent action
entirely ignoring the old parties. The
minority thought 1t would be proper for
the members Of the Better City Govern
ment league to participate in the coun-
ellis of their respective parties, to the
end that good candidates would be NOM
mated on all tickets. The whole matter
was referred to the central committee
Of the league for decision and instruc-
tione. The meeting then adjourned to

A LARGE CROWD.
Populists Hold an Enthusiastic Meeting
at the Silver Wigwam.

Over $500 people gathered in the silver
wigwam last evening to listen to the ar
guments advanced in defense of the sill
yer cause and in advocacy of Bryan,
Barlow and the union fusion ticket.
The meeting was not extensively ad-
vertised, still the word had gone out and
that was sufficient to bring together
nearly 5000 people who desired to be in
formed upon the financial question.
They were intelligent people and they
We're quick to appreciate any point made
by the speakers. They We're enthusi-
astic for Bryan. Their applause at any
mention Of his name was plainly indica-
tive Of that.
The chairman Of the evening was A.
r. Sprague, the union nominee for the
assembly in the Seventeen district. Mr..
Sprague made few brief remaks which
went to show that he was thoroughly
UP on the issues Of the day.
The next speaker was Louis Luckel.
Mr.. Luckel delivered an extended ad-
dress on the money question, handling
1t in a way which established the fact
that he was a complete master Of every
detail of it.
But the speaker of the evening was
Jud r. Rush. This gentleman was the
orator who brought out the enthusiasm.
Mr.. Rush has happy faculty Of stating
many plain truths in plain, bold, out
spoken manner. AS an orator he has no
some very powerful work for Bryan and
silver in this campaign.
The meeting closed with three cheers
for Bryan and silver. The success Of the
gathering was due to the ,tireless efforts
Of the Populists.

sentatives. tH s4
Judge Mcguire has, in and out Of con-
gress, been the special representative
of the workingmen. He has been their
defender when assailed and the advo-
cate Of their interests.
1t is now proposed that the working
men of Los Angeles turn out and do
honor to their champion. This they will
undoubtedly do. A meeting OF work.
ingmen will be held to make the prelim-
mary arrangements for q special
demonstration by which the working
people of Los Angeles propose to show
Judge Mcguire that they appreciate his
this year in the great fight which he is
making
The meeting at the Wigwam on We'd
nesdlay next, when Judge Mcguire will
talk, will be the greatest political gath
ering that was ever convened in Los
Angeles. Arrangements are being made
for the Judge to address several over

lican club and one at Turnverein hall.
