refusals to serve, Mckinley has
got together his commission to in
vestigate the War Department, and
the work is to begin right away.
If he had any doubts the public
statements made to Secretary AL
ger since he started upon his care
fully prepared for inspection of
camps and hospitals, by high mill
tary officers, have convinced him
that the commission will not have
much trouble to locate personal
responsibility for Encouragement,

EACH government crop report
reduces the yield of wheat. The
last report showed an estimate of
585,O0O,O0O bushels yield against
6l5,OOO,OOO two months ago. The
average yield will not be much
higher than usual, about II bush
els it is DOW believed. In 1894
the visible supply Was ten times
larger than in 1856, d year ago
twice as great as now And those
who believe that these facts war
rant higher price have many
more of the same arguments to
offer. In the above years wheat
was from 10 to 40 cents higher
than now. An unusual reaction
following the Letter deal has
occurred and has done so after
every such exploit on the board of
trade. Prices will rule low COM
pared with expectations raised this
spring, unless another Letter move
ment is begun. Conditions which
have made low prices for all pro-
duce for years still hold. But the
present low price is less than it
should be on any fair estimate of
tho surplus, of the statistics that
point to that conclusion.

REPUBLICAN politicians are fish
ing in troubled waters for cam
paign issues. The political hooks
they are throwing to the people
have not got any bait on them,
however. The people are tired of
continually biting at unfulflled
and unfulflling promises. That
coming prosperity" bait, with
wheat at IS cents per bushel and
cotton at less than the cost of pro-
duction, is not apt to make suckers
bite at republican futures.

OF INTEREST TO SCHOOLS.

The public school system of the
United States is the best in the
world and is the nations safe
guard. In the wake of every settle
ment in our country we find the
little school house. We ale pleased
to see the great effect 1t is having
in unifying all peoples, both native
born and foreigners who live here
into one great American and Eng.
lish speaking race. Our system Of
institution tends to draw all to-
gether and make their aims and
interests one. The mixed popu-
lation we have in North Dakota
has however occasioned much
broken and Incorrect English
which has become habit among
the people. Until lately, but little
attention was paid to the child
rens' language instruction. It
being the more ancient idea that
reading, writing and arithmetic
we're the essentials. The new
course of study requires from four
to six years of special language
work to be given in every school
while the child is forming his
language. This is very sensible
as nearly all knowledge comes
through the use of language and is
the key to all the chifd's studies
When he has a good command of
words of his own his books are
much easier to master. Our teach
ers are, however, hampered for
want of suitable helps, as yet, tc
assist them in getting the best ex.
pressions from the children. A
new work called The Primary
Language Series is now being in
troduced into the schools of the
county and is destined to do 6
great amount of good for the child.
rem III this respect. It has been
adopted by nearly all the counties
of the state and Judging from the
strong letters of recommendation
given it by our best educators ii
must be great assistant educator
in the hands Of teachers. Money
invested in such Il work by ou1
school boards will be wisely ex-
pended. We hope to see it's gen
eral adoption.

NOTHING could better illustrate
the existing fright Of the repub-
licans than the fact that Postmas-
ter General Smith, and Webster
Davis, assistant secretary of the
Interior, have gone on stamping
tours. Of late years it has not
been considered just the proper
thing for a member of the Cabinet
to take the stump, even in presi-
dental campaigns, and not since
Arthur's administration has one
gone on the stump in Congress
sional or State campaign.

FRANTIC appeals are being made
to Mckinley by the republican
campaign committee and by repub-
lican candidates for Congress for
assistance in various ways. The
pressure is probably being brought
to get the long-dslayed executive
order, throwing down the civil SER
vice bars to large number of
federal positions, issued before
the Congressional elections. Mr..
Mckinley has been told that the
issuing of that order within the
next two or three weeks will be
worth many votes to republican
candidates for Congress, because
by promising those positions many
of those who were at the last cleo
ton republican workers but who
are now sulking could be got to
work again. He is also being
urged to declare the government
printing Office to be outside the
civil service law and rules. Nc
Kinley has been told that if he
doesn't do these things now, there
will be no occasion. so far as party
politics are concerned, for him to
do so at all. tbs doubtful whether
he will do all that he has been
asked to do, but he has intimated
that he will do something.
