hardly worth discussion anyway.
He predicted utter destruction and
anrihilation in the United States
if free silver was not voted for,
and the United States is more
prosperous after the defeat of Mr..
Bryan than ever before. Bryan
is merely making a platform for

THERE is a sacred list some
where in the state or in the bosom
of Congressman Johnson at Wash
ington of forty-tivc members of
the Legislature who are for John
son for the senate. There must
be such Il list for the editor of the
Nelson County Herald has seen it
and says it is so. The number of
names on the list is within two of
enough to elect. Therefore, Mr.
Johnson's calm assurance to press
representatives at Washington
that he would be the next United
States senator. 1t is TO be hoped,
for the sake of Mr.. Johnson's
peace of mind, that the list will
not be mislaid. 1t is also to be
hoped that none of the men on
the list will be mislaid. And it
is difficult to imagine Or picture
the CONSERVATION and confusion
that will ensue when Mr.. john
son draws from his capacious
bosom that list and assails his
senatorial opponents. It will be a
scene to rival the famous charge
of Don Quixote against the wind
mill. Not that Mr.. johnson is
either Don Quixote or a windmill.
Oh, no! But it will be a remark
able scene, just the same.

In his open letter to Secretary
Phelan with regard to the funds
advanced by the late Governor
Briggs, Private Secretary Phelps
says: "You know that Governor
Briggs and other state officials
gave Mr.. Nichols-not as state
treasurer, but George E. Nichols,
a written indemnity protecting
him for all money paid on this c
count, and further, that Governor
Briggs placed in Mr. Nichols
hands a five thousand dollar fund
ing warrant, the governors in
dividual property, as security for
these advances! You know that
there never was a dollar of state
money drawn on vouchers cover
ing these expenses. Mr.. Nichols
simply advanced the money for
the administration the same as
any bank or individual having
funds would have done. Last June
to save Mr.. Nichols and other
members of the administration
any embarrassment or delay which
might be caused by his death
Governor Briggs paid the full
amount advanced to that date,
about sixteen hundred and nine
ty-four dollars, and as long as he
was able to sign a check, Governor
Briggs personally paid the vouch-
ers as presented. That his execu-
trix holds these vouchers today, a
part of the estate, and that there
is no liability on the part of the
state to pay her one cent of this
money.

votes than Creel, the fusion candidate
for congress. Driscoll. the republican
candidate for treasurer carried every
county in the state, the first time
such a thing has happened in any
campaign. Driscoll received by far
the largest vote of any of the
republican candidates, reaching nearly
$4,000 and has the largest majority, a
few more than 10000. The greutcst
total vote cast was for governor, reach
ing nearly $4,000, while the vote for con-
gresham was about 1890, there having
been over 1000 moro votes cast for gov
ernor than for congressman. Seven of
the republican candidates received ma
%jorities exceeding 10000, which makes
the republican victory altogether II
phenomenal one. Attorney General
Cowan comes second on the list with
nearly 1900 majority over M. A. Hill
dreth, although the latter was nomin-
ated largely because of his enlistment
with the state volunteers and as an ap-

IT has been aptly said that a few
speeches in the south from President
Mckinley, have done more toward the
final death of sectionalism than thirty
years of reconstruction. The presidents
tributes to the dead of the ~confederacy
have touched the heart of all southern
ers, and the result of the presidential
trip will be the still greater unification
of all the states. The president has re-
ceived ovation after ovation in the south
and his work has been of inestimable
value and benefit to the.whole country,
and still further enshrined him in the
hearts of his countrymen as a statesman,
a patriot and a man in the fullest sense
of the term.

The North Dakota Globe observes:
North Dakota's prison population has
increased % per cent in two years, there
being 1872 prisoners there the first of
December. The warden estimates there
will be $50 prisoners by March 81. When
the prohibition law went into effect
there were about seventy-tivc men in
the prison, and the great argument in
favor of prohibition was that it would
decrease crime, decrease insanity and
poverty. Instead of crime de-
creasing during the last nine years it has
increased, and the lowest in
crease is in the Red River valley coun-
ties where the prohibition is strictly en-
forced. 1t is not claimed that the in
crease of crime is the result of prohibit
ticn, but prohibition has not relieved us
of crime as was claimed it would do.

AN interesting question with relation
to the prohibition law will come up in
Fargo when the drivers OF the Gag
wagons com up for trial. 1t is alleged
they have been acting as messengers for
the Moorhead saloons and that when
thirsty residents of Fargo found their
cravings too intense to be longer re-
strained they have telephoned over to
the other side for a certain amount of
refreshment to be delivered by the driv.
ers of the lag wagons" The drivers
have acted as agents of the saloons and
in many cases have received the money
for the liquor. The liquor was furnished
from another state, but it is a question
whether or not the agents are liable fol
violation of the prohibition law.

WILLIAM J.. BRYAN is opposed
to expansion. He says it means
the downfall of the republic. He
does not want to see the United
States hold the Philippines or
Porto Rico or any other colonies.
He prophesies all manner of evil
therefrom. Mr.. Bryan will hardly
deny that there are in the world
some countries and peoples which
are not fit for self government. 1t
would appear therefore that the
greatest good would be done the
greatest number if the nation in
the world best capable of govern
ing them and treating them fairly
and honestly should assume the
task of government. But, under
the theory of Mr.. Bryan, the
United States should stand aloof
and not do for the natives of the
Philippines, in the way of admin
istering for them as good a gov.
eminent as possible, what justice
and the results of the recent wal
demand should be done. MI. Bryan
would forsakethe Philippines, and
leave the natives to anarchy, muir.
der, and ultimate self-destruction,
MI. Bryan, it would seem, has
rather a meagre idea of the duties
of nations which have been sc
blessed as the United States. He
would have the country draw into
a shell and leave the balance OF
the world to get along as best
possible. The same theory ap.

as follows: It is an old saying that
republics are ungrateful." Whether
this be 80 OF not, it is certain that states
are sometimes unjust. On the Goth of
February, 1897, Governor Briggs made
public the following:
"a reward of $500 will be paid to the
person delivering into the custody of the
sheriff of Emmons county, North
Dakota, the murderer or murderers of
Thomas Spicer. Mrs. Thomas Spicer,
Mrs. Ellen Waldron, Mrs. VIM. Rouse
and har twin infant children. who were
killed near Winona, in said county, on
or about Wednesday, Feb. II, 1897.
Said reward will bo paid upon the con-
viction of such murderer or murderers.'
Ehe sheriff of this county spent much
time and money in rounding up themur-
derers. He has not received from the
state or from any other source a cent of
the money he expended. T~hegovernor's
offer was for the conviction of such muir
derer or murderers. One of the MUIR
derers was duly convicted by a jury and
sentenced by the court. When the con-
viction took place, was not the reward,
as a. matter of justice and equity, earned
and due? If the members of the legis-
lature believe that, when the governor
of the state offers a reward for the doing
OF a certain thing, and the thing for
which the reward was offered is done,
the state should keep its faith, they will
pass a bill appropriating money to pay
the man or men who earned, it the re.
ward offered by Governor Briggs for the
conviction of u murderer.

The Grand Forks Herald calls atten-
ton to the swift sentence to death of the
murderer Cole at Bismarck and remarks
that the wheels of justice occasionally
revolve on the slope. The TRIBUNE
would call attention to the fact that
Grand Forks county has in the state
p%cnitentiary a murderer in the person of
August Normand, whose crime was even
more brutal and fiendish than that of
Cole, and whom the tender mercies of a
jury in Grand Forks county spared to
life imprisonment, which proves that the
wheels of Justice do not revolve on some
occasions in Grand Forks county.

A PECULIAR feature Of the official re-
turns for the recent elections is that al
though Fancher, the republican candi-
date for governor, received through the
state about 5OOmore votes than Spalding
the republican candidate for congress,
the majority of spalding is greater than
that of Fancher by about a thousand
votes. This is due to the fact that
Holmes, the fusion candidate for gov
ernor, ran much ahead of his ticket. re-
