more brains to run that part of the gov

PEMBINA's CANDIDATE.

Pembina' county might we'll be proud
OF the reception of the nomination of N.
G. Young for justice of the supreme
court at the hands of the republican con.
vention at Fargo last week. While gen.
uine regret was felt by large number OF
delegates at the displacement of Judge
Corliss and the turning to the wall of all
Grand Forks county candidates, yet no
candidate received warmer enconiums
from seconders from other counties, or
was more heartily greeted and congratu-
lated than our own home candidate.
And it was not because he was the local
candidate ofPembina county, but be-
cause his reputation as clean, bright
and able attorney had preceded him. and
it was felt that the place which required
so much, would be amply and creditably
filled.
Judge Cochrane, the intimate and
nearest friend of Judge Corliss, in a
splendid speech, rendered Judge Corliss
a magnificent compliment and at the
same time manfully and eioquently gave
Mr.. Young a splendid introduction and
send off.

THEY REsPECT us

1t is quite possible that expensive as is
the war with Spain, that it may be worth
all the cost, in the increased respect of
Europe for the fighting capabilities Of
the United States as nation, and the
individual fighting qualities of our sail
ors and soldiers, as now being shown to
the interested watchers OH the other side
of the salt water: We doubt very much.
It any European nation to-day would con.
slider itself as superior to our forces,
when meeting in battle, whether on land
or sea, on equal terms. Some of them
may think they have more ships, better
guns, bigger and better drilled armies,
but ship for ship, gun for gun, man for
man, they cannot claim more than equal
ity with Uncle Sam.
Manila and Santiago have proved our
SHIPS and sailors, and the fighting at San.
tlago on land, under the most adverse
circumstances Of preparation and climat-
&c conditions, have proved our soldiers.
and most ,,f the press of Europe have ac.
knowledged it in terms most compli-
mentary; while the slurs of some ofthem
who hate America are too evidently re-
suits Of chagrin to be other than compli-
ments.

count the various classes of people who
reside in Cuba, with their differing ideas
of government, and more than all, the
dense ignorance of large majority ol
the people, it may be long time, posi-
bly, never, before this nation will consent
to allow them complete autonomy aud
independence.
For ourselves, we have ever doubted
the feasibility of republican form Of
government among the Cubans. We be.
lieve the ultimate destiny of Cuba, is
foreshadowed by the history Of Texas.
Texas was part of Mexico. It became
settled by Americans. Texas declared
independence, but was afterward admit
ted to the union. We believe that Am
erican influences in Cuba, through this
war, through business interests and flu
ture emigration will bring Cuba finally
into the union.
Cuba is rich in many natural products
of tropical growth of which we are in
need. It has immense forests, and is
rich in undeveloped mineral wealth.
While its climate is hot, and it is un-
healthy, yet it is not much warmer than
our own southern states, and intelligent
sanitary measures will nearly, if not
quite Danish its worst forms of disease
and if there is money to be made there
Europe and America will alike pour in q
new class ofpeople, who will develop no
only the natural resources but will buile
a free state, which possibly may or ma!
not be one of the United States, bu
which will certainly be with us and Uni
Ter our protection.

JOHN BECHTEL,

Mr.. h echtel, whose death and buria
we chroni. lied last week, deserves NOR
than passing notice, for his life and char
acter has had La .ge influence on this fai
co univ in which W.. live and of which w,
are so proud. Comh.'g here i'll thos'
early days, when our con. monwealth wa
just beginning to feel the gr., with OF i'm
migration, when the houses II the set
tiers were scattered far apart afonar the
streams, when these broad prairies we..r<
but vacant government lands, and the
trail of the buffalo yet fresh upon the sur
face, when the influence of strong mind
meant so much for future good or evil,
Mr.. Bechtel took his place as leader
and as moulder for the future, and no
man did more to establish this county on
the foundation principles of right, justice
and morality than he.
For many years in that formative era,
Mr.. Bechtel was one Of the three county
commissioners that then constituted the
board. and he brought to the board a
native shreWdness, frugality and honesty
Of purpose, that earned the respect of all
and did muck to save this county from
the financial errors which in some other
Dakota counties have left burden that
will take a generation to lift.
Mr.. Bechtel was not aperfect man, nor
is there any perfect man, but his. errors
were such that no one would respect him
the less; and, fin those earlier days he
did not with prophetic eye take in all the
wonderful and rapid growth of this rich
land, no more did those who were with
him, and yet the foundations he helped
to lay: were solid enough, if not always
broad enough to support the grand
superstructure, and the additions have
been easily supplied.
In speaking of Mr.. Bechtel, we neces.
sarily include the labors of his coadjut-
ors of the later 7O's and early sos with
which he was so intimately connected.
OF these, some are dead, some removed,
some are with us. By their fruits We
shall know them. As body these early
immigrants Of whom Mr.. Bechtel was a
sturdy type, have left us an heritage Of
whichSwe may well be proud and thank
full; for we sincerely believe, that few
counties exceed this of ours in educa-
tional, religious and financial standing,
and in,the moral, social and physical
welfare ofits people. y.
h. h. And sturdy, honest. frugal, hospitable,
generous John Rechtel's best monument
will be his marked influence ON this peo.
'ple. which will live for generations, when
perhaps his name may be forgotten.

COUNTY POLITICS.

The next thing on the program in the
county ticket. The PIONEER EXPRESS
has RETAINED from discussing or ''men.
tioning" probable or possible candidates
because we donot care to misrepresen,
the parties interested. nor to .discourage
others who may be willing to become
candidates.
We are glad to see aspirants; it is a
good sign, and the more candidates the
better opportunity to select good tick
ct. There seems to beea unanimous ex.
preston among the. leading republicans
Of the county, that with a good ticket ia
the field, republican from top to bottom,
and good hard harmonious work tha,
every man omit can be elected to the
local county Offices by good majority

NO FLAG THERE.

AT the Fargo convention there was evil
IDENTIFY nobody to make arrangements for
the proper entertainment Oft the delegates.
We are told, on good authority, that no
arrangements whatever were made for
even hall until very late, and then not
until the state committee had refused to
go ahead and guarantee bills. Not a
decoration was seen in the opera house,
and even after the attention of the chair
man was publicly called to the fact that
no American flag was in sight, was flag
provided; and then still later, seeing that
Fargo did not move even after the re-
buke, motion was made and carried
and our w. ]. Kneeshaw of ofPembina was
made committee of one to procure a
flag, which he did and presented tito the
chairman on behalf of the convention.
An inquiry by the writer at the Forum
office as to whether press badges were to
be had, brought the polite retort from the
genial Major, "Go ask Jud LaMoure,
He's running the whole convention!'
LEut as Jud had not provided any press
badges, nobody received any. How
ever Tuo had provided distinctive Penn
bina county badge. which many wore
and which were mich sought after, by
Others outside of our delegation. There
were of delegates and visitors at least a
thousand persons at the convention,
whose expenditures in the city were at
least Of an average Of s. each, and not a
band, not flag, not a badge was provid-
ed by the local conmitte ii there was
any local committee Grand Forks may
be short on political generalship, but
they know how to treat the stranger with
in their gates. The contrast between the
conventions Of 1896 and 1898 is very
sharp in this respect.

Mr.. w1NDsH1P.

Several months ago, when Mr.. Wind
ships candidacy was announced, we
stated our reasons tor believing that he
was not likely to receive the nomination
he sought. Briefly they were, that his
platform antagonized the best known
men and political managers of the party
in the state; that as newspaper man
he at times has antagonized large num-
Der of persons whose influence in their
own counties was not to be doubted.
We also stated that while Mr.. Windship
was clean, able man, and while doubt
less much of right was in his platform,
yet he was not an ideal candidate, be-
cause his nomination would tend to di-
vide rather than unite the party, and we
now have to add to that statement that
his defeat for the nomination seems
to be having somewhat of the same
effect.
1t is quite evident that 1t would have
been better for the party, ifMr. Windship
had been content to let a good news.
paper man go the even tenor of his way;
let Judge Corliss be the candidate Of
Grand Forks county; let Hon. M. N.
Johnsonstayed out Of the fight; saved
himself and friends that almost certain
disappointment and chagrin which the
editorials of the Herald now proclaim.
Mr.. Windship might have succeeded
with better generalship, but SO far, few
political leaders Of ability have been dis
covered in Grand Forks county. In the
valley counties Mr.. Windship had the
personal preference ofa majority Of the
delegates, but as each of these counties
had hcal candidates Of their own, IN
which they had the stronger interest, the
choice Wsnt elsewhere for governor.

DANGER IN TOYS.

Those Sold on the Street May Convey
Infection.
The reading public is by this time
fairly conversant with the ordinary
sources of danger from contagion to
which it is exposed, and it has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrimi-
nate use of hair brushes and towels,
and Of the ear pieces of the monograph;
to touch not with ungloved hand the
brass guiding rail of the street car, and
to be suspicious even of the telephone
transmitter. But, Recording to a med
ical journal, the latest hazard in infec-
ton is confined to children. Many in
genious toys are now offered on the
sidewalks of city streets by itinerant
vendors. One of these is tube of pa
per, furnished with a short piece of
bamboo at one end, up to which it is
coiled by the action Of slight steel
spring, On blowing into the bamboo
the coil is unrolled and shoots out near
ly yard, and the sudden extension has
o comical effect, very entertaining to
the youthful mind. Another form of
toy is the miniature bagpipe, which is
made to emit its characteristic sounds
by the pressure Of air from small rub
Der ball which has been inflated by air
blown from the mouth. Attention il
called to the possible consequences of
buying these toys, which are presented
to child after being inflated by ques-
tionable breath, and perhaps wetted
with the moisture Of the still more
questionable lips of the vender An in
fected mouthpiecc has been known to
be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles, and it seems strange that per-
sons who would hesitate to drink out OF
. glass that has been used will buy
these toys and take them to their chill
dren without thought of the disease by
which they may have been contami.
mated. Among the impoverished max.
ers and vendors, sore threats, diphthe.
ria and contagious fcvers in very early
stages may be raging, and children may
contract fatal diseases of even a worse
character than any Of these by using
these toys.
