The holiday edition of the Pelican
Rapids, (Minn,) Press, by our old friend
Charley Cranston who published the
Farmer at Mayville few years ago, is
at hand and is pretty piece of work
He gives his city handsome write up
and skips none. Judging from all ap-
pearances Cranston has struck it rich,
and all the boys are pleased It's so. His
newspaper ability is wcll known to all
North Dakotans. Long live the Press.
Speaking of newspapers in politics
and the treatment some times-most
always Editor Hager, of the
st. Thomas Times puts it about right.
He says:
During political campaigns no man is
bigger in the eyes of the party managers
than the editor. He is urged to work
for the triumph of the party principles,
and incidentally for the election of a
number of good fellows to paying posi-.
tions. Promises of official printing and
appointive offices are held up as temp.
ting bats to increase the party zeal OF
tho already over-zealous editor, who
pitches into opposition harder than ever
Election comes. Victory perchos on the
banners of the old party, and the poor
gull OF newspaper man builds al,
castles of anticipation. A new press and
some modern faces will be purchased
with that salary and the official printing
will allow him to take little vacation
He is literally endorsed for any Office he
seeks. His newspaper friends publish
kind notices regarding his ability. Hill
hopes are raising to the highest pitch
and then some other fellow is appointed
The editor wonders where the influence
of his friends has vanished. How it j.
that such excellent endorsements as hi
could have failed to secure the prize
but all the time some other fellow il
drawing the salary and dining sumptu
ously. This is the history of North Da
kota for years past and will be for year,
to come. The editor of The Times Is nc
exception to the rule. He swallows tn,
promises, does the work and receives tn,
"marblc heart" but always remains wha
he was born and raised-a black repub
| lican,'"

TIL use Timber inspectors.

Game Warden Swan returns from the
western slope and adds few chapters to
the story of the forest fires. He sa, S
that the reports printed in the News fell
short of doing justice to the magnitude
OF the fires. He says that many thous.
adds OF acres of the finest timber are be-
ing burned; that rancbmen are appeal.
ing Tor assistance and tha. the flow of
the streams in the burned region will be
materially affected by the destruction of
the trees, which will prevent the conser
Walton of snow.
Yet nothing is heard about the army
of timber inspectors appointed at the re.
quest of Senator Wolcott to look after
the trees on government land. While
campers and careless settlers have been
setting the forests fire the inspectors
have been doing political work for the
senator. We should like to hear from
some quarter of the state of timber in
spector who has been putting in his time
at his duties.-Denver News.

WHAT MACK SAID.
The Chaplain of the Oregon is Undergoing
HIS Court Martial

Denver, Sept. 27-The court martial
Of Chaplain J. P. Mcintyre was resumed,
this morning The court room was
packed to suffocation and as was the
case Yesterday many hundreds were
turned away.
The first witness was James Bufnell of
the Rocky Mountain News who identified
copy of the News of the date of Aug.
9. which contained an account of the ad.
dress for which the chaplain is now on
trial. Frank Carruthers of the Times,
who was the second witness, identified
copy of his paper on the same date.
Despite the exception of the defense both
papers were admitted as evidence.
Miss Minnie Reynolds, the reporter
for the Rocky Mountain News. who at
tended the lecture in the Unity church
was the next witness. She could not
positively identify the accused as the
one who delivered the lecture as she sat
in the rear of the church and could not
see distinctly. The prosecution asked
her if in her opinion Mcintyre spoke
srespectfully of Admiral Sampson and
Captain Evans and she replied he did.
The defense objected to this on the
grounds that it was necessary 10 prove
what he said and not what inferences
might be drawn. The objection was
overruled.
The court took recess from II to
o'clock. Miss Reynolds will be on the
stand all day

WADE WILL COMMAND.
A Regular Army Offic.r Will Stir Up Less
Prejudice Than Lee.


Prejudice Than Lee.
Washington, Sept. 27-Gen. Wade has
reported that Manzanillo will be entirely
evacuated by October II. Troops will
be sent from Huntsville, Alabama, to
torn garrison at that point. The troops
will embark next week.
From we'll informed sources it is
learned that General Wade will be
placed in command of the department
of Havana. 1t is urged in certain quar-
tiers that General Lee has been so closely
identified with the state of Havana that
he should have the command, but by
some it is regarded as wiser policy to
give it to regular army officer whose
position has not aroused so much pref
udice as General Lees has naturally
done
