Governor Dcvinc was interviewed by
the Argus in Fargo Il day or so ago, and,
as usual, struck the campaign key notes
as follows:
What is the outlook for party success
in the state:

Do you think free and unlimited

IN this campaign?

The fire Is still beyond control and is
being driven eastward by a fierce wind.
The city has been filled with smoke

country where the fire occurred ia
very thinly settled it Is impossible to

lost a number of acres of wheat and

COMMENTING on senatorial methods,
the Cakes Republican observes: Con-
gresham johnson is working hard to
got county and Legislative conventions
to endorse his candidacy for the United
States senate. He has had his agents at
every convention SO far held, and his
resolutions have been offered to all.
When a convention accepts his resolu-
tons it is heralded over the state in
flaming headlines, and when a conven-
ton refuses to endorse him there is moth
ing said. The resolutions so far adopted
all read about alike, and it is plain that
one man is writing them all. How diff
ferent are the tactics of MI. johnson
and Mr.. Marshall. In his campaign Mr..
Marshall simply says to those who con-
suit him on legislative nominations:
"Nominate good republicans whom you
can elect, and I'll take my chances with
out instructions or resolutions" Tom
Marshall is not a politician who wants to
tie up members of the legislature to his
senatorial chariot in advance. He is
willing to go before that body as a can
didate on his own personal merits and
not as a politician who has been able to
tie up a few county conventions. If he
cannot win openly in a fair competition
with any other republican in the state
he will not do so by tying up representa-
tives in his interests all over the state.

same spirit of avoidance is noticeable.
The republican, party in New York
state, which has nominated Colonel
Roosevelt for governor under the i'm:
petus of the feeling growing out of the
successful conclusion Of the war with
Spain. has adopted a platform in
which the declaration is in effect
made that in destroying Spanish
authority I'M the Antilles and the
PHILIPPINES the country has assumed
solemn duties and obligations, and that
where the flag has gone it must, in
the interest of civilization, stay. AS
might be expected, the policies declared
at Chicago in 1896 are: condemned.
The annexation of Hawaii is COM
mended in the interest of commerce,
of national security and of national
development. National issues are
given the first place in the PLATFORM,
while state issues are su%b0rdinatcd.
Far otherwise has it been with the
democratic PARTY in the state, which
in it's declarations has avoided national
issues and aimed to confine the cleo
toral contest to a struggle over state
issues. The extreme silver men have
failed to influence the convention in
the direction of an Endorsement Of the
Chicago platform. Al declaration is
made to- theI effect that while in ma
tional affairs the party adheres with
steadfast fidelity to all the principles
and policies Of Jeffersonian democracy
it "becomes the part of wisdom to rec
Ognize the fact that under existing cir
cumstances state issues in this cam
paign must necessarily he paramount"
This means in effect that for the pur-
pose of the state campaign the party
managers decline to shoulder the issue
which led to the crushing defeat of the
party in the state two years ago. This
is the line Of policy which is being
adopted i'm the eastern and middle
states and which may to some extent
affect party action elsewhere.

OLIVER DALRYMpLE, the bonanza
farmer, states that though our scientists
have calculated that there was a greater
deficiency a short time ago in the visible
and invisible supply of wheat than has
been known for twenty-five years and
that the crop of '89 is a trifle over the
average, there is a big hole to dump it
in. The price of wheat he predicts, will
remain about the same for a time and
will then gradually rise to between 70
and 80 cents. Better times have caused
an increase in the wheat-eating popula-
ton of the world, there are more mouths
to fill and he believes prices will gradual
ly stiffen.

IT is a mistake to suppose that CONT
mental Europe has failed to discern the
moral and physical influence which the
United States is beginning to exert in
the worlds affairs. The Frankfort
Gazette, which is one of the most
important of all the German newspapers
published outside of Berlin, in an edi-
torial discussing the social and political
condition of this country and the causes
and consequences of the recent conflict,
asks what would have happened had
Spain triumphed in the war ?" and it
answers that national darkness, narrow
ness and corruption would have pre-
vailed, and everywhere the world the
advocates of political and clerical abso-
lutism, which the Spanish governmental
system breeds and fosters, would have
gained new and important strength.
But this has not happened, and for these
reasons it can be fairly said that the
victory Of the United States is a triumph
for progress and a gain for mankind"

AN important case will be heard by
the supreme court in October from the
Fifth district. Oswald & Co., LIQUOR
dealers of Minneapolis brought suit
against P. Moran for the foreclosure of
a mortgage of about $500. The mort
gage was made and given by Moran as
security for a note given for intoxicating
liquors sold and delivered to him at
jamestown, N. D. by Oswald g. Co.,
prior to 1880. Since 1890 sales of liquors
to the amount of $4,662:37 have been
made to Moran by Oswald and payments
for same made from time to time.
Moran now claims that the sales of these
liquors were made in violation Of Sec.
ton 1921 of the North Dakota code, and
that the amount paid to Oswald e. Co.,
subsequent to July l, 1880, was in viola
ton of the said section. The statute
makes any payment for liquors sold since
1880, as received in violation of law and
against equity and good conscience and
to have been received upon a valid
promise and agreement of the receiver
to pay the same back. These payments
are set up as a set off to Moran's note
and mortgage and Judgment is asked to
cancel said note and mortgage and that
Judgment be rendered to Moran for the
amount over and above the amount due
Oswald on same, which is some 500.
