Outrage at Hodges.

We learn that unknown parties severely
whipped Dollie Hodges, defenseIess anu
friendless white woman, living in the neigh'
borhood of Hodges. Let the woman DC ever
so degraded there can be little Justinca'ion
for a m OBJ to use force against one who mas no
power of resistance. Our Saviour on a Ger
tain occasion thought 1t would be well Tor tne
sinless man to cast the first stone at the gull
tv woman. The rule would hold good to-day.
If there is a creature on earth that excites
sympathy it is a poor, defenseless fallen wo-
man and we cannot see how any man, or any
set Of men, could strike such an one. The
man who would strike a woman may do a
good thing, but we are sorry to note the act.

What Is a ..JIngO 20

This or that statesman is every now and
then accused of being "jingo." or OF favor.
word lingo is SO applied. The term was first
used In England during the Russo-Turkish
war of ls77-7S, and applied to that portion OF
the Tory party which clamored 10 nave tne
Disraeli ministry commit Great Britain 10
the active support of the Turks. The name
itself originated in q music.ball song, when
became very popular, the chorus OF Which
ran thus:
We don't want to fight,
But, by jingo, when we do
We've got the men, we've got the ships,
And we've got the money, too.
Hence the word "jingo" passed into current
foreign policy, which itself was named jim
goism." Tue term was taken up here In the
same sense, and has been largely USED oy
Democrats as u term Of opprobrium wheneV-
er a Republican administration or leader was
supposed to favor proper enforcement Oh
American rights abroad.

The g., G. and n.

Rumors are out to the effect that the author
tiles contemplate taking some Of the trains
off the Seaboard Air Line road.
Our people will regret to hear this.
Without assuming to offer advise to the
railroad, the Press and Banner would suggest
that II the local and the vestibule trains did
not run SO nearly together that better results
might follow. The way they are now run
they are practically one train in sections.
II we had an eastbound train to pass here
In the morning, instead Of at one o'clock the
public In this section would be benefited. II
it left here at six, seven. eight, nine or ten
o'clock we believe more local travel would &c
over the road.
Then In the afternoon the vestibule follows
too closely the southbound train.
II the railroad authorities could arrange SC
as to give Us better schedule, we think they
would do themselves and us kindness.

When the heart is right with God,
eyery beam of sunlight is like smile
direct from God.
If YOU allow your happiness to de'
rend on the favor of men, you will
verv soon be miserable man.
The more we know of ourselves the
humber we shall be in our opinions of
ourselves, and the more patient we
shall be with the failings and weak
nesses of others.
It is good indication when we are
more grieved for or our own wrong do
ings than for the wrong doings OF

Hon. John c. Haskell has become disguised

Hon. John c. Haskell has become disgusted
with the land that gave him birth. He
doesn't like the dispensary law, and has 2
contempt for the judiciary OF the State.
When the people hear this they may immed-
lately open the thousand bar-rooms, and then
they might turn out all our judges and give
him chance to name some good ones. Be-
fore we would loss so good a man as Colonel
Haskell, We would open all our barrooms and
abolish the Courts until acceptable judges
could be had.

How We Grow.

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. The county
auditors of the different counties have
fled Official returns with the secretary of
state. The total vote for president was
A., 400, Of which Mckinley received &c.
352; Bryan, 2O,7Ol, and Levering 356.
The total vote for president four years
ago was &c, 165, a gain in number of votes
cast last month of II ,244. and had it not
been for the heavy snowstorm prevailing
on election day, at least 5000 more
would have been polled.
In large number of country precincts
the polls were not opened, owing to the
severity Of the storm. This would indl-
cate gam in population in the state
since 1892 Of $4,000. The small showing
made by the prohibltionists is another
remarkable feature. They claimed be-
tween 1000 and 5000 votes before
election, and polled 356.
Miss Emma Bates. who ran indepen.
dent for state superintendent of schools,
received 2,S7S votes, which was at least
twice the strength conceded her by her
opponents. She seems to have received
support about equally from the republl-
cans and fuslonists, as the plurality of
Halland averages the same as the ma
jorlties Of the other republican candi-
dates. Following are the msjorites of some
OF the repu bl:cans elected: Congressman

Reported From Grand Forks
That Mark Hanna has
a Roll.
Which Will Appear in Evil
dence Later on at
Bismarck.
Cochrane of Grand Forks
Claiming to Have Bright
Prospects.

GRAND FORKS, Dec. 7.-(Minneapolis
Times Special. .)-Pohtlcian are excited
somewhat over the statement made to-
night that Mark Hanna Is to take care
of the Hansbrough opposition in this
state. The statement is credited to F.
B. Feetham, the law partner Of J. NJ.
Cochrane, who is managing the CAM
paign for NJ. Cochrane. The senatorial
fight is warming up and another week
is all that is needed to put the contest in
good shape here.
The eight legislative members we're
elected for Hansbrough, but it is under
stood that Cochrane claims five OF that
number. A HaEsbrough meeting is
scheduled for the coming week, when it
is expected that the members will be
located about this way: Seven for
Hansbrough and one for Cochrane.
Since the mass meeting held 10 Coch-
rane's interest this week the Hansbrough
leaders have been doing hard work, and
the sentiment among citizens is about
evenly divided. The strength shown by,
Hansbrough among voters here is un-
expected on account Of Grand Forks
citizens always bavlng supported Grand
Forks men regardless of party. The
statement made by Mr.. Feetham is to
the effect that Hanna had furnished or
would furnish $4,000 to defeat Hans
brough. Mr.. Feetham could not be seen
tonight.

(Fuller) showed by certified copies Of
the result of the vote, as forwarded to
the secretary of state, that Sanford re-
ceived rs votes and Fuller 81. Mr.. San
ford desired copies OF all the votes cast
in the ward to show that be bad
larger vote than Is, which copies were
refused by the referee except it be done
at Ssnford's expense.
An examination OF the ballots in the
First and Fourth wards show no material
change except that Mr.. Sanford gains
four votes not counted by the election
board because of bis name having
been marked on both Independent
and democratic tickets.
In the Second ward there appears to
be!no change from the returns.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Sanford.
who has been legally elected and given
his certificate Of election expects to take
and hold bis seat as state senator, and
that thls is in accord with the desire Of
q large majority of voters and residents
Of this district. In fact many proml.
nent republicans who did not vote for
Mr. Sanford believe him to be legally
elected and express q desire to have
him seated in the interest of justice and
fair play.

SOMETHING PECULIAR
Disclosed in the Examination
Of The Third Ward
Ballots.

In the proceedings of the senatorial
contest begun by B. W. Fuller for the
possession of Senstor-elect Sanford'e
seat, peculiar development in the case
was completed Saturday. The contest.
| ant has had Auditor Vennum on the
stand three and half days up to Sat.
urday noon. The examination OF ballots
taken from boxes, and the making out
Of copies has taken up most o. the time.
J The peculiar development referred to
arose in the examination Of the ballots
from the third ward. By the returns
sworn to by the election board, of five
persons, in this ward, the following is
the result in the count as between
Fuller and Sanford: Fuller received II
votes and Sanford ~ votes.
Nearly month after the election the
ballot box of this ward is opened. and
the following now appears In the mark
ing of the ballots, as concerns Fuller and
Sanford: Fuller's name is marked
WILL a oI8uUocu o4tAco "oIo
than is shown by the count
made by the election board. OF these IS
ballots 10 now show to be marked for
Fuller that bad been previously marked
and counted for Sanford. These, of
course, Fuller claims will now be thrown
out, causing Sanford to lose 10 votes.
The ballots now show, also, that eight
more votes are marked for Fuller than
there we're when the election board
counted them, as ehown by their sworn
return. There still remain four ballots
on which no vote is cast for senator, in
the box of the third ward. This makes
1t appear that Fuller has S. votes in
stead of n in this ward.
The ballot box of the third ward was
not delivered to the county auditor until
Dec. /, or 27 days after the election.
From the sworn.returns the largest total
vote counted in this ward for any one
Office IS 127. The average total vote on
opposing candidates runs at about III.
There were found in the ballot box when
opened during the contest, 1876 ballots.
Now that the examination OF ballots
was begun at the instance Of Mr.. Fuller
and fully $50 copies Of the ballots have
already been made in his behalf, to form
part Of the record IN the case, Mr.. San
ford desired other copies of other ballots
made and put 10 the record, to show the
marklnQs for him thereon. This the
referee. T. F. Branch Of jamestown, re-
fused to do except it be at Mr.. Santord's
expense.
In the matter OF the returns OF the
First ward OF jamestown, contestant
