THEY'RE STILL SCRAPPIMC.
The Asylum Ring is being Cleared for
another Round, and II tho smuggling
match Is not called down soon We
may hear Truth and Poetry.

The various factions connected
with the jamestown asylum have
plenty to do yet. There seems to be
constant wriggling and squirming
among the adherents of either side
to knock each other out. 1t is stat
ed that after DR.. Archibald has seen
the libel suits through he will begin
the practice of his profession in an
eastern city. Wednesdays Mime
apolis Journal contains the follow
ing: Although Supt. Archibald has
been ousted by the state supreme
court from his control of the state
institution, he and his friends are by
no means through with the fight.
Gov. Aliens decision to have grand
jury called in jamestown to investi-
gate the matter shows that the end
is not yet. If further evidence were
needed, it would be found in the So
eret and mysterious visit to the twin
cities of Bailey Fuller, one of the
Jamestown trustees, Alex Hughes,
tho we'll known Bismarck politician
who is Archibald's attorney, and
others from North Dakota the past
week. These worthless haven't been
making much noise but they have
been at work and the result will ex-
plode with a loud detonation over
the devoted heads of the trustees
who opposed Archibald, and Incl
dentally spread thick mass of scan
dial over the surrounding country.
This scandal has been carefully
investigated by Messrs. Fuller,
Hughes and Co., and it's purport is
known to tho Journal. The source
is woman of the town of st. Paul
who claims relationship with some of
the chiefest of Archibald's enemies.
This nasty mess, according to pres
ent information, is to be used for a
wo-fold purpose-to influence public
opinion into believing that the oppo-
sition to Archibald is as black at the
kettle line as the superintendent is
in the pot line; and to give Gov. AL
lin the ground for removal of obiec-
tionable trustees who refused to re-
sign.
Bailey Fuller fitted back to James
town last night and may lay the in
formation he has been seeking here
before the grand jury. If it becomes
public there will be sensations of va
rious kinds, not only in North Dako-
ia but in St. Paul, where leading
physician is mixed in the affair,
Bismarck, Feb. 1S.--The news of
the order issued by Judge Rose yes
terday for special grand jury to
meet at jamestown Feb. 26 to con
slider matters brought out by tho
asylum Investigation conducted by
Examiner Langlie, fell like bomb
in the camp Of the trustees who re-
fused to comply with Gov, Allin's
request for their designations. 1t is
said that enough evidence has been
secured to indict some of the trustees
I for malfeasance in office.
In case they are indicted the gov
ernor has power to remove tsem,
which he undoubtedly will do and a
new board will be appointed that will
clean out both the Archibald and
Moore factions.

MORE INVESTIGATIONS.
A Convict Mt tho State Pen objects to
too copious doses Of water, and the
other side say he didn't get it.

Now that the jamestown asylum
deal has dropped into the shade Bis
marck looms up with a scrape at the
penitentiary.
At meeting of the trustees re-
Gently the matter of punishment of
prisoners was brought up and the
case of prisoner named White was
brought before tho board by Mrs.
Judge Bartholomew.
An ex prisoner named McGahey,
from Grand Forks stated that last
November one morning he saw hose
attached to a hydrant ghich carried
water to Whites cell. He heard wa
ter splashing and White was calling
out that he would do ANYTHING they
wished of him, and that they were
killing him.
Several of the keepers were in the
cell and one Of them said keep it in
his face and blind him"
One reason assigned by White why
he was thus treated is, because he
could not stand it to do inside work.
which he had been ordered to do,
puI lnat ne was perfectly Wiling to
work outside.
After the man had been deluged
for about fifteen minutes the ex-con-
vict states that White was. handcuff-
ed to the cell door aud kept there
several hours, and when he became
delirious he was gagged. The other
side claim that White was tough
prisoner and had threatened to brain
any one who attempted to take him
out of his cell; also that severe pun
ishment was necessary in order to
preserve any degree OF discipline in
the institution.
Even if an inmate was refractory
it would hardly seem necessary to
put man under the hydrant and
then chain and gag him, but when
fully investigated these stories may
be found to be greatly exaggerated.

back again as soon as thoy can earn
money enough to do so, which is
to be little while yet, as they labor
for $50 per month, in competition
with negro labor. When man
leaves Dakota, he is almost always
glad to get back, and is then satisfied.

A WORD OR TWO
From one of the Poorer Glass who talks
Pertinently on Politics.

MI. Editors:
take it that you are not aware of
the condition in which many of us
who have always voted the republi-
can ticket are now in. Neither do
you realize that we are likely to give
up our allegiance to your party and
strike glad hands" with the Pops.
We are in Strengthened oircumstan-
ces financially.
The land given us by the govern.
ment we have mortgaged. Our stock
and mac hinery, bought mostly on
time is hopelessly encumbered, and
under existing economic conditions
our case seems almost hopeless.
There is no chance for us to bor-
row more money because we have no
more securities to give, What shall
we do?
The populists are getting to the
front with rapid strides and when
they take one more step forward they
will doubtless have our votes.
A few years ago they offered us the
sub-treasury plan. 1t caught some
votes; but the plan failed to materi-
alize and now their leaders say they
never took much stock in that
scheme. Then they promised us, in
case they were placed in control OF
the government printing machines,
all the money we wanted at two per
cent interest if we were only able to
give proper security; but in looking
the thing up we found we had no
security to offer and consequently
would be left out in the cold.
Now these same pops boldly advo-
cate direct issue by the government
of all money called for, and loaned
without interest.
This would Just fit our case but
then they attach On obnoxious con-
dition-that is. that it shall only be
loaned to such as are able to put up
security.
This looks a good deal like class
legislation which we have heard some
of them mildly intimate that they
did not like.
AS soon as they can rise above this
view of the case and promise unlim-
tied issue and loan without security
to all of us, serving every man alike
then we shall probably go with them.
Why should the rich and well-to-
do be favored and we who are now
hard pressed be left to suffer the
privations caused by poverty, when
just little expense by the govern
ment for paper and printing would
put us on an even footing with those
who now look down upon us and also
give to us the luxuries of life.
When the pops offer us this-all
the money we want without security,
then the G. o. p, and the simon
pure democracy will be things of the
past.
We will vote their ticket, do their
bidding, be their humble servants
and sing, Glory, Hallelujah.
But as long as they favor class leg
islation they will continue to be look
ed upon as wolves Ill sleeps cloth
ing by
The poorer class.

j. w. Fawcott is said to DO gain
ing strength every minute as the
candidate on the pop ticket for sher-
if.
That Charles Stevens would fill
the bill as nominee on the pop ticket,
for sheriff, is generally supposed to
be all right, lut Mr.. Stevens is said
to be irritated by another and more
honorable itch--the legislative. The
latter disease is most likely the one
that will prove fatal.
We understand that Hon. j. w.
Stevens, of California is much i'm
proved in health and will be COM
pletely recovered by the time the
populist convention rolls around and
will be hers to catch the nomination
again for senator if the nomination is
thrown toward his base.
Politicians in the pop wigwam are
busy every evening now, making dots
on their states. The most of them
have ticketed T. w. Bush for the
legislature, but it is understood that
Mr.. Bush would prefer quieter life
at the county seat, in an office at the
court house, say the auditor or regis
ters ranch.
Our friend N. D.'Witham is can
vassing the western part of the coun-
ty with stereoscop.c views of the life
of Christ. Mr.. Witham is one of the
wheelers in the Populist camp in this
county and it is generally supposed
that he is out on the track against
time to see how he could stand jog
over the track with others later in
the season, He is the father of his
party in the county but has never
received any substantial recognition
from his children. He vii! not stay
home longer, contentedly.
It is generally eorceded that this
fall the old men in the Pop party
propose to run for office. They think
the kids and boys had their turn first
and the old men propose 10 sit down
hard on the kids. Such grandpas as
DR.. Bartlett, Perry, Witham, Baker,
Jones and others are practicing clim-
bing their band wagon every pleas
ant day now, and drive out. They
are bound to shelve the kids. Ths
contest will be hard and perhaps a
little bloody, but they say it has to
be the. ticket for the old men this
fall.
