citation.

The annual session of the N. ID.
Educational Association will be held
in Fargo December 20, 80, 81, 1896.
This promises to be the best and most
largely attended of any session yet
held. The association is composed of
the department of Superintendent,
The College Sections, The High
School Council and the Department of
Elementary Education. These depart
ments hold separate sessions in the
forenoons, the afternoons being de-
voted to the general association.
We wish to call special attention to
the Elementary Department. This de-
partment was organized at Grand
Forks one year ago. It's membership
is composed of teachers in the district
school and in the grades below the
high school. 1t reaches by far the
largest class of educators and has the
advantage of the enthusiasm which
comes from membership.
An interesting program has been
prepared with a period for general
discussion on all subjects presented.
1t is hoped that all who can do so will
be present and assist in making this
first annual meeting of the Elementary
department success.
In arranging for the meeting for the
State Association the Importance of
social features has not been over
looked. The citizens of Fargo,
through the faculties of the N. D. A.
c., the Fargo College and the teachers
of the public schools, will give re-
ception to the visiting teachers the
evening of the 29th. Let all arrange
to be present on this evening and be-
come acquainted with each other.
Refreshments and music will be free.

women Appreciated by Cann,ba,.

An extraordinary discussion ON the
subject of cannibalism took place at the
recent meeting of the Photographed So
ciety in Paris. A curious tribute was
paid to the superior qualities of woman,
but one which she will hardly sppreci-
ate, says the New York Journal.
A mem Der of the society read paper
in which he declared that among savage
nations those who were addicted TO can
nibalism were the most healthy and
vigorous. He sought to prove this by de-
scriptions Of several races.
This argument was directed partly
against vegetarianism, for ssvages who
abstain from eating one another usually
have meager supply OF animal food.
The scientist further made the shock
ing statement that the flesh OF women
| was much more nutritious and digestible
than that of men. Many savage tribes
recognize this fact and ate only women
when the supply was sufficient. In some
races, how ever, the flesh of men, though
less palatable than that OF the women,
was preferred because the virtues of the
deceased were supposed to pass into the
eater.

wnr Mem shonld smoke.

That tobacco is q preventative OF lung
disc se seems to be true to a certain ex-
tent. 1t is clear that tobacco and tobacco
smoke are antiseptics and germicides OF
considerable power, and that their action
on the pulmonary circulation is useful in
relieving or preventing any tendency to
chronic congestion of the lungs. Many
doctors in various countries have remark
ed the comparative immunity from pull
monary diseases enjoyed by workers in
tobacco factories. There are also cases
recorded of persons who exhibited serious
symptoms OF consumption, such as ema-
citation. blood-spitting and cough, and
who got rid of them all after working for
time in tobacco factories. Tassinari in
Italy has proved by elaborate expert
ments that tobacco kills microbes, and
he strongly recommends smoking as a
protection against cholera. Vasslli, dur
ing the influenza epidemic OF 1889, no.
ticed that workers in tobacco factories
almost entirely escaped. The same thing
was remarked in Genoa and in Rome.
Tobacco smoking has also been recon-
mended by some doctors in the treatment
Of consumption.

session of 1895, so that leach of the re-
coenized political parties may have one

Sections 403 to 4OS inclusive may also
be consulted. in Vol. l of Hills Code,
relative to challenging. These provide
that any voter may be challenged and
that it is the duty OF inspectors and
judges to challenge where suspicious are
apparent. When challenged, the judges
shall declare to the would-be voter the
qualifications of an elector and require
him to make oath that he will truly and
fully answer necessary questions to prove
himself a qualified elector. II an rn-
swer is refused to pertinent questions, or
il the oath is not taken, the vote shall be
rejected; or, if the judges are satisfied
that such person is not legal voter,
after the questions have been answered,
they shall reject the vote.
If the judges do not decide against the
challenged party and the challenge be
not withdrawn-the party still insisting
on his right to yote-the judges shall
oblige him first to subscribe to further
oath to the effect that he has resided in
the state six months, in the county sixty
days and the precinct thirty days, and
has not voted that day, and that be is
otherwise qualified to vote. (See section
406). Ii the person take the oath and

THE REALM OF POLITICS

The thinnest argument that hes thus

add one cent to the circulating medium
of the country, nor does IL create de-
mand tor the white metal, since for every
37lA grains Of pure silver that is now
being coined, there is one dollar 6 silver
certificates outstanding, and the only
possible method by which these new
coins can be got into circulation is by sur.
rendering silver certificates to the treas.
ury and on them taking out the silver
dollars.
The silver that is being coined is the
metal purchased under the Sherman law,
for which silver certificates were issued.
Those certificates are in circulation today
as representatives Of money. Therefore

tended to catch the unwary voter. The
silver bullion that is being coined was
purchased by the. government long since,
and paid for With silver certificates, hence
the coinage Of that bullion at this time,
instead of being any benefit to anybody,
either in the way Of increasing the eircu-
lating medium or creating demand for
silver, whereby the price OF metal might
be expanded, only adds to the expense
OF the government to the extent of the
mintage expenses.
The twaddle that is issued from the
stump about the coinage of silver since
1890 and the great things that have been
done by the government for the white
metal since that is all bosh. Every sill
yer dollar that is being coined now, or
has been coined since 1890 is made from
silver that has been bought by the gov
eminent like so much iron or coal, at the
market price, and either lies in the treas
ury as security for the certificates issued
against it, or is drawn out and put in
circulation by the presentation of such
certificates. But in 1893 the Sherman
act was repealed, and since then the gov
eminent has not bought single ounce OF
silver. All the silver that has been coin
ed since the repeal of that law has
not added one cent TO the circulating
medium, and SO far as any benefit to the
country is concerned, it had as we'll lain
Idle in the treasury vaults in the shape

Days We're Once Three Hours Long
When the earth was young, says DR..
Ball, the eminent British astronomer, 1t
turned on its axis 30 rapidly that 1t made
one complete revolution once in every
three hours. The earth was liquid then,
and it spun around at that fearful speed
probably for thousands of years. The
sun caused eyer-increasing tides on the
surface OF the great liquid planet. and at
last 1t burst in two. But the break was
not in the middle OF what had been the
great, swift-revolving globe of liquid mat
ter. 1t was to one side, and the effect
was to throw the smaller fragment
out into space. That fragment kept
on turning, and was soon fashioned into
globe. We see it today and know il as
the moon. The larger piece also kept
turning on its axis, and in the course of
ages became the spherical, habitable
earth. The smaller fragment OF the great
original globe, being held in place by the
attraction OF the larger, has been going
around the earth ever since, but
has been gradually increasing the dis
lance between itself and its primary
Some astronomers believe eventually the
moon will get so far away that it cannot
be seen by the inhabitants Of our planet.

There Arc Other r..ue..

While the money question is the para
mount issue in the present campaign,
there are other issues centering around
the money question that are equally i'm.
portant to the American people, and these
issues should be understood and voted
upon intelligently. We are confronted
with the proposition of whether the peo-
pie shall rule, or whether few individ-
uals shall seize the reins Of government
and dictate all commercial and financial
policies. 1t is not an issue directly be-
tween the poor and the rich, for the poor
do not make war against the property
rights Of the rich, but they do make war
against the monopoly power OF wealth to
Cypress them. 1t is struggle against
special privilege; against the power 80 to
use wealth as to cut Off the opportunities
Of men; against the power Of wealth
by combination aud monopoly to extract
tribute without equivalent from the poor,
who are made servants for men who do
not render them equivalent OF service
or value In return; it is struggle to put
in operation the great fundamental prin-
ciples OF republican form of govern
ment, wherein the people, the masses
rule; struggle for the extending OF equal
rights to all men and special privileges to
none. In short, the issues OF this
campaign are whether the producers Of
wealth, the great toiling masses, shall
govern the United States, or whether 1t
shall be select few who fit about the
commercial centers, and live and amass
wealth off tie toll OF others without CIV
ing anything in return.
