FRIENDS OF ANIDON
they Make a Protest Against Delay
in Conformation

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb 10-Many
leading members of the North Dakota
par have sent kilograms to the Judi
cary committee Of the United States
senate urging the confirmation of
Judge Amidon. The kilograms have
been sent by lawyers and citizens of
al political parties, the following being
from A B. GuptiH, secretary Of the
state republican central committee:
AS lawyer CT long professional acouaint-
ance with Judge Amidon, I am confident
that the bar Of North Dakota will concede
ton for the bench. AS a Republican parti-
san, L feel bound to admit the belief that
our people would regard failure to confirm
as an act Of political injustice from which
inc party would ultimately be held to &C
count.
About one-third Of the members Of
the legislature have sent similar tele-
grams. It is understood that Senator
HansbTough sent for Senator Rourke
and Representative Hankinson and the
two left for Washington last night to
oppose the confirmation. ROurke Is
slated for district attorney under Nc
Cumber, Of Wahpeton, who expects the
judgeship if Amidon is not confirmed.
All the judges Of the state supreme
court have strongly urged Amidon's
confirmation and it is reported that
Chief Justice Corliss is in Washington
working for his confirmation.
The result is awaited with great in
terest by people of this state.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Judge Am
ldon, Of North Dakota, is here, and
with Senator Roach, is laboring with
senators for his confirmation as United
States district judge Of North Dakota
1t looks today as if Hansbrough would
succeed in defeating confirmation at
this session. Senator Davis is making
an effort in Amidon's behalf, but the
prospects are now that the senate will
not act

If you can get at its books and bal
ing wages of labor in this country, it
can turn out it's product for less than
the same article can be made else
where All that 1t gets by way of pro-
lection is pure gratuity. 1t enables
the capitalist to raise his price by just
that much. 1t encourages others to
go into the business in order to get a
slice Of pie. 1t thus stimulates over
production and necessitates, as a rem
edy, the union of these great bribed
concerns into one organization to beat
down the prices Of labor and control
the market.
What, then, are the net results Of
the protective system in every depart
ment of labor? An unearned profit to
the capitalist, an incentive to overpro-
duction, a depression of industry, a
trust, and thousands Of workingmen
employed from one-quarter to one-third
of the year at low wages and lying idle
the rest of it, while the monopolists
who run the business are dividing their
profits and waiting for demand to
catch up with supply. The pretense in
the case Of the steel rail industry is
blown into thin air by the act of the
men who conduct it. They, at least,
can never again talk about their need
of tariff protection. But their case is
only the case of all other American
manufacturers. Their talk about the
need of protective duties is a humbug,
a fraud, a falsehood and a plea to
be allowed to steal from the people.
How any true patriot or any party that
processes to have the interests Of the
people at heart can think that the
money question, or any other question,
! demands or deserves attention while
this gigantic infamy and prolific source
of corruption and crime remain a part
Of our national policy, we confess that

M'hINLEY'S CABINET.
No Additional Announc eInents to BE

CANTON, Feb. 10.-Besides the an
Councements by the gentlemen who
nave been rendered cabinet portfolios
Senator Sherman for secretary of stale.
MI. Gage for secretary of the treasury:
cen Alger for secretary Of war; Mr'
wilson Tor secretary of agriculture, and
Judge McKenna for some cabinet nosi-
ton, it is not expected that any
authoritative statements will be made
soon, II indeed before President Nc
klnley formally addresses the senate or

and close friend Of the president-eIect.
VINO was In conference with him this
morning, said this afternoon: The
names of Messrs Sherman, Gage
AIger, McKenna and Wilson, believe
are the only ones which will be made
auth0r1tatiVely public until after the
inauguration. While it is expected that
Judge Long will occupy a place in the
cabinet, and believed, as has been the
case for two weeks past, that the presi-
dent-elect will name him for a place,
that place has not yet been definitely
decided. Speculative reports which
have been sent out from Canton about
Mr.. Hanna for postmaster general and
other cabinet places are entirely I'M
warranted, especially from the fact
that with them is coupled the state
ment that the final announcement OF
the cabinet is being retarded on ac-
count of Mr.. Hanna's indecision as to
his acceptance or refusal of a cabinet
portfolio, and that this delay on his
part is on account of the senatorial
situation in Ohio, and that the final
makeup Of the cabinet will depend in
some way upon the result of the ap-
pointment of Mr. Sherman's successor.
This is an unfair assumption. and an

MIR. JOhnsOn's Opinion of the RfaD
Who Made Him Spend S75 to
Collect u Fair Bill.

Clarence Johnson, the architect, Sc
cured verdict against the city yester-
day for the sum of 1858. so, for services
performed by him in preparing plans
and specifications for the new school
building yet to be erected in the Eighth
ward. Mr.. Johnson did this work in
accordance with a resolution Of the
common council authorizing the school
board to procure such plans and speci-
hcations. The school board accepted
and approved the plans, and Mr.. John
sons bill for $56350 was in due time
approved by the common council. But
when it reached Comptroller McCardy's
office in September it struck a snag.
The comptroller was at that time con-
siderably miffed at the school board
for refusing to spend it's funds for the
entertainment Of the G. A. r. Mr..
Johnson's bill came to the comptroller
at an unfortunate time for Mr.. john
son. At any rate Mr.. McCardy re-
fused to audit it, and that was the
last heard or seen Of the bill until Mr.,
johnson brought suit to collect 1t.
The comptroller gave as his reason
for refusing to audit the bill, that there
was no money in the school fund avail
ap!e Tor SUCH a purpose. Such Was tbs
SUBSTANCE Of his testimony before
Judge Kelly yesterday morning.
In the afternoon Mr.. McCardy was
recalled to the stand, and after some
myshfying explanations regarding the
distinction between the school fund and
the school building fund, he admitted
that there were a few thousand dollars
IN the school building fund at the time
OF the adoption Of the resolution author
izing the work to be done
Upon this showing Judge Kelly at
once directed the jury to return a YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff for the
full amount Of the bill
After court had adjourned, Clarence
Johnson said to a reporter for the

In this city, when a man with a. lust
claim against the city for work per
formed at it's request, has to hire
lawyer and spend $75 Or 500 to collect
MS Dill, and all on account of one stub
born city official. Bills such as l sub
m1tted have been paid again and again
without objection, but just because Nc
Cardy happened to be mad at the
school inspectors he hits them a. rap
through me. All have to say is that

lated to raise $233, 900 for school pur-
poses instead Of the $150,000 fixed by
the council, Is followed up to its legit-
innate consequences the comptroller
could, in my opinion, be innpeached for
malfeasance in Office"

THE ENERGY OF DESPAIR.

The conflict in Cuba has evidently
reached more desperate stage than
ever before. The death of Maceo did
not, as the Spanish fondly hoDed if
would, break the spirit of the Cuban
insurgents or weaken their resistance
III the field. On the contrary, it seems
to nave aroused them to a perfect furv
OF energy. Never since the rebellion
broke out have there been such con-
slant contests between the two forces,
never such bloody and desperate de-
termination to win, as within the few
weeks since the news Of Maceo's death
was confirmed. It is a war now with
out quarter on either side; a war in
Whlch neither innocence nor weakness
IS spared; a war Of determination.
with no conditions asked or given. The
Spanish, on their part, are but living
up to their record of cruelty and
disregard of all the usages of civilized
warfare. They are making war upon
non-combatants, shooting down, for
their pleasure, those who have taken
no part in the hostility, and carrying
on, as Tar as lies in their power, the
plan Of ending the insurrection bv de-
populatfng the island. The Cuban pa
tr1ots, on their side, are fighting With
valor and resolution such as they
have not displayed from the beginning.
The dreadful news which comes to
them constantly Of the fate dealt out
to family and friends makes them
careless of everything but the desire
to wreak their vengeance on the mon
sters that Cypress them

as the contest is now being carried on
there can be no end to the Cuban trou-
bles until Cubans or Spaniards are de-
stroyed to a man.
Our duty is no clearer than It has
always been, although, perhaps, the
situation makes it a trif1e more inper-
alive It has been just as much our
place from the beginning to prevent
or terminate the horrors that have
taken place in Cuba as it was the part
Of Europe to stay the hand Of the
Turk in Armenia. That we have not
done so will remain our everlasting
disgrace This we should do, not bv
passing resolutions or f1inging handfuls
Of speeches at the head Of the public
but by a single declaration that Cuba
is henceforth under the protection of
the United States until she can or
ganize government for herself. and
that our army and navy will see that
not another shot is fired against the
patriot army. Anything short of that
