Moorhouse from printing the m of
Messrs. Price and Stark on the official
ballot of the county as candidates for the
Legislature, a decision was granted by
the judge enjoining the auditor from
printing the names Of these candidates
on tho ticket. Tho facts as they APP
pcared in the case were that no conven-
ton had been legally held or called by
any independent and democratic. party
as is specially required by law and that
no party known rs independent and
Democrat" had cast the necessary per
centage of the votes at the last election
to cntitle its candidates to a place on the
official ballot. Tho facts in the case
clearly showed that, even admitting that
the two parties could fuse, andsecure a
place on the ballot under the law, ITO
such fusion had taken place and the
legal requirements for a convention to
nominate candidates had not been COM
piled with. The action of the Judge in
enjoining the auditor was therefore
clearly warranted and a matter of right
to the. other candidates. Upon this
action, the supporters of the alleged
fusion ticket sought to have their other
candidates placed on the ticket by peti-
ton, but failed to file many more than
half enough names on the petition for the
candidate having the largest number,
and the county auditor al clearly en-
Joined by the plain law in the case from
printing the names Of these men on the
official ballot.

No better qualified men for the legisla-

nominees from Burleigh county-Hon.
R. N. Stevens and Joseph Hare. Both

of sound judgment, who will see to it

profited immensely from the administra-
ton of President Mckinley. Few
people, perhaps, who think about the
conditions would ascribe the large crops
and high prices of agricultural products
prevailing in the west to politics, al
though the politicians might CLAIM other
wise. But these conditions have weak
ened the force. Ct democratic arguments.
Then the large class of voters in the
west, republican naturally in all their
associations, are exceedingly enthusiastic
over the developments in the far east as
the outcome of the war with Spain. The
probabilities are accordingly that boom
ines are coming back to the republican
party in that section of the country.
Wyoming and South Dakota are pretty
surely counted as republican states this
fall. If the republican information does
not prove erroneous and California rolls
up a large republican majority, only the

to the kilograms that have been pouring

War criticism, which was a great buga-
boo to the republican congressional lead

as fas as western politics is concerned,
and this holds particularly true to Kan
sas. The recent reports from there have
been very encouraging.

proportionate with taxes paid by farmers
and individuals. All departments Of
state have been conducted in such a
manner as to reflect credit upon the
state, and to rebound to the benefit Of
the people of the state.
The opposition to the republican
ticket have set forth no good reasons
why their candidates should be elected.
They have made some vague promises of
the great good they will do il elected.
But it is only fair to Judge their promises
by what they fulfilled when in Office,
and their record is a lamentably bad one.
It is n of pledges unkept and promises
unful6lled. Securing Office through
lavish promises of economy and careful
management of state affairs, their two
yeals of Office were characterized by cx-
travagance and mismanagement. The
records of their failure are inscribed in
every department at the state capitol.
This year they make the same promises
they made then, after tho same fusion
of parties to attempt to secure them.
Their campaign is one of Islander against
the republican nominees. They have
resorted to every campaign yarn which
was not too preposterous for voters even
to believe. All of their canards have
been refuted and exploded, and they
stand before the people with absolutely
no recommendation except an Unsuitable
desire for office.
1t is a good plan to continue a faithful
servant in your employ, and this is true
Of county rs well as state affairs. The
servants of the people in state offices
under the republican administration
have been faithful. The same is true in
county. Every effort of the county
officials has been directed to the best in
terests of the county. Voters are all
familiar with the work that has been
done by the county officials. They know
that in all the departments the greatest
care and economy has prevailed. They
know that the county is in better inan-
cial condition than for years-that the
debt has been reduced, interest lessened,
warrants greater in value-that every
business condition of the county is i'm
proved. This improvement will continue
under a continuation of the officials who
have brought it about.
The national features of the election
are also important. Republicans-all
people are interested and proud of the
achievements of the United States in the
past year-proud Of the record of the
war with Spain-proud Of the accomp-
lishments Of the volunteer soldiery in
America. The election of a republican
congress and senate mean that the
benefits of these achievements will accrue
to the United States. The election of a
democratic congress will mean that the
war had been better left unfought.
Vote the straight republican ticket
from top to bottom.

THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENTS

THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENTS
Fusion organs throughout the state
are %endeavoring to convince farmers that
the state board of equalization, while it
raised the assessments of railroads,
raised the values of farm lands also, so
that farmers will have to pay higher
taxes, proportionately with the railroads.
This argument has been used with
considerable persistency, industry and
skill. But like much of their reasoning
it is founded on false premises and their
conclusions are Railroad and
many other valuations have been in
creased, it is true, but the standards
which govern the two are entirely differ
emit. The increase in railroad valuations
is an absolute increase from the $500
per mile of the former period to the S.
900 per mile now assessed. The increase,
where there has been any, in all other
property is simply an addition to the
figures returned by the assessors of the
various counties, and it may be, and fire.
quently is, an absolute decrease. from the
rates Of a year ago.
The Grand Forks Herald has taken up
this subject and shows the six districts
of that county through which the North
>ern Pacific railway runs that the total
valuation of the railroad property in '94
was $4,000 less than this year, that the
total valuation of the personal property
inthe same townships was $1,000 larger
in '94 than this year, and that the total
valuation of real estate was S124,OOO
larger in '94 than '98. Continuing the
Herald says:
The above figures are taken from the
official records of Grand Forks county
and may be verified by any one. They
cover the assessment of real and per-
'sonal property and of Northern Pacific
railroad property in the six townships of
this county through which that road
runs, taken for the year 1894, the last of
!Shortridge administration, and 1898,
after four years of republican control.
It was to be seen that in the four years
the valuation Of the railroad property
has been increased over 40 per cent. the
valuation Of personal property has been
decreased considerably and that of real
estate has been decreased about u per
cent.
Suppose that a farmer in one Of these
townships owned a farm assessed in
1894 at 81, oO0, with personal property as.
sessed at's500, while the i portion Of the
railroad adjoining his property was as.
sessed at $1,000" Suppose that 1898, he
owns the same farm, the same quantity
of personal property, all in the same con
dition, and the same railroad passes his
his farm. Suppose that in each year the
rate Of taxation is 20 mills. In 1894 the
farmer would bay $50 in taxes and the
railroad company would pay $40. In
1888 the farmer would pay about s44.so
and the railroad company about s57,

The TRIBUNE has shown where the
claims of the pops regarding per centage
Increases by the state board of. equaliza-
ton are of no significance, since the in
creases are merely from county returns,
and not from figures of previous years.
But, if tho pops dispute this, let us take
the records of the populist state board
of equalization in this line-hoist them
by their own petard. The official report
of the pop board of equalization shows:
That Trail county real
property was raised sixty
per cent.
That Grand Forks coun-
ty real property was raised
forty-five per cent.
That Walsh county real
propertywas raisedthirty-

J. Harry Filbert, who filed objections to
several licenses, said his client was Edward
ODonnell, representing the Brewers Asso-
catiou, of Shenandoah.
There was quite a little diversion when il
came out through Mes-rs. Snyder and White
house that the fight between Editor r. j.

licenses.
Mr.. Snyder, who had filed exceptions to
certain licenses in Mahanoy City, said he was

Mr.. Whitehouse stated that he rel resented
j. A. Rnck who had led exception against
other parties in Mahauoy City. He -aid Mr.
Rinck client was Senator Coyle 1t tran
