Ex-State Treasurer Nomland,

Ex-State Treasurer Nomland,
one of the leading populists of
this state, is quoted as follows:
"What can we populists do? The
times are fair; the prices on our
products are very satisfactory.
I am in favor of lying low this
year. Perhaps something will
turn up in 1900, that will furnish
campaign material. 1 expect
there will. But at present there
is not the slightest show of vic
tory-at least not in North Dako-
ia. We will undoubtedly gain a
few seats in congress, but not
enough to control that body.
What good would it do if we could
control congress? It would only
make some mistakes and hurt
our chances in 19OO." When such
men asNomland admit that times
are fair, prices are satisfactory,
and in fact that prosperity is
abroad'in the land, it seems to us
that his words to the effect that
the populists in North Dak-
ota have no show this year., he
certainly speaks the truth. With
the advent of the present admin
istration and the keeping of it's
pledges, out went the prospect of
populist success. When times
are good and people generally
happy, there is no room for the
calamity howler. Thepast twelve
months has been the most pros,
porous this country has seen
since the high water mark of '92,
and while there have been strikes

ing carried by American laborers
and artizans to and from the fac.
tories all over the country than
there has been for years past.
This condition of affairs appeals
to the people from material
standpoint and needs no embel-
lishment from the rostrum or po.
litical platform, and such condi.
tions as these sound the death
knell of the political demagogues
that are always going around the
country agitating the people and
preaching reform-just to get in
J to Office themselves.

Bonds Taken Up.

County Treasurer Udgard informs
the Courier that he paid off $12, 200
worth of seed lien bonds on Tuesday
of this week, one year before the
money was due. This is good
showing tor the county and shows
that under the careful management
OF the board of county commissioners
and the economical county officers,
that the county is gradually lessening
its debt.

part OF October last year he asked me
if | could keep his chickens over win

few days afterwards he complained
about not having a place for his COW
during winter and offered 70 take
that also. Just there and then he
begged me to take in himself. After
somewhat over a weeks deliberation
we decided to risk taking him in
over winter. He was to furnish a
part of the victuals and board with
US, that was the partnership to which
l referred in my card.
Abont 1st of October he meved in.
After this he always spoke as though
he was going to stay continually. 1
never paid any attention to him
when he spoke that way except once,
in the first part of February, 1 asked
him how long he meant to stay with
US. He said: 81 wish to stay as long
as you folks will let me, when yon

After that nothing was said until 2oth

knew that lie rather wished to stay
and l also knew that he became
desperately angry when anything
went against his wishes. So /
thought that the best thing to do was
to let him know in writing. Sunday
morning, March 20, we were going
over to Thor Hagen's to a small
birthday party. While the ladies
were getting ready wrote the card
and left it on Mr.. Pounds table. He
was down at the barn at the time.
Just as we left the house he came
along, wished us pleasant day and
we left him.
Now let US partly in imagination
and partly from evidence follow him
till he is dead. He walks up to his
room and finds my card. He reads
it and get angry. He reads it again
and again and gets desperate. He
thinks for a while, his mind is made
up, then he gets up and looks at the
gun. 1t is all right. He sits down
to his table to write his last wishes.
That takes long time. 1t gets to-

Barteau sf this village. She was
born IA HilIaiaae, Columbia county,

In the latter state she spent four
teen years, comiug to this place in
September last. She was greatly
devoted to her family, it was that
the children might have better school
and church privileges that she and
her husband decided to make their

gave birth to daughter. and on the
following Thursday threatening sym

Gubernatorial Candidates.


North Dakota politics are q
peculiar sort. There is more
excitement in being a candidate
in this neck of the woods than
in any ether section Of the coun-
try of which we wot. The peo-
pie appear to be fond of dark
horses and convention surprises.
In other states candidates begin
early to get their names before
the people. Here premature
menti0ning is almost equivalent
to detat, and there are several
candidates for governor at this
time engaged in strenuous en-
deavor to commit political sui
eide. Among these ma y be
mentioned Editor Winship of
Grand Forks and David Bartlett
of Griggs county.
Major Edwards is not classed
among the suicides. because the
major is sly, devilish sly. Of
course, if the major can corral
the Cass county delegation to
the state convention his chances
of non,ination are good; but can
; he do it? Capt. Spalding of
Fargo is not saying much, nor
is he being doomed a great deal,
but he is an active candidate for
the congressional nomination to
succeed Congressman Johnson.
He, too, wants the Cass county
delegation. There is said to
be an understanding between
Major Edwards and Captain
Spalding-a sort of friendly
rivalry-that which ever one
secures the advantage in the
county convention shall be cit"
and the other will turn in and
give hearty support to the win
ner. That is business and
shows that Cass county has
come to her senses. But it is
! said the major cannot control
the Fargo district. where Hag
CART is supreme, and as conse-
quence both he and Captain
Spalding are working in the
rest Of the county, aud working
hard. Some question Major
Edwards sincerity in seeking
the gubernatorial nomination.
saying that his experience with
the equally good class at Wash
ington has taught him the neces-
sity of getting some people in a
position where they will have to
stand by him. If the major is
nominated, however, his election
is already assured and he will
make a mighty good governor.
Winship's case is different.
He wants the governorship and
wants it bad. He wants it for
the purpose of doing his best
to give the state as clean an ad-
ministration as lies in his power
and to punish his enemies, d-n
'em. If Winship can carry
Grand Forks county, which is
doubtful, he would go into the
convention with a fair show of
getting the nomination, and
while the Times Record could
support him heart and soul, it
is doubtful if he could be elect
ed. He has roasted his enemies
the gang-too severely. Not
withstanding the boasted re-
publicanism of the gang, they
would no doubt lay out poison
for Winship if he were the nom
inee, while maintaining an out
ward show of support. His
enemies are organized and are
mighty powerful political fac.
tors. They would rather see a
populist occupying the govern
or's chair than Winship. And
the vitriolic editor of the Her.
aid has not as many warm
friends as he really deserves,
and it is largely his own fault.

MAY HAVE 4 REPRESENTATIVE
WITH A VOTE.
A Senator uggested-Outline of the
Commissions Plans-Franchise Bas-
ed on Education and Property.

CHICAGO, November 1S.-A special
to the Tribune from Washington says:
1t is probable that the report of the
Hawaiian Commission will favor n
more liberal form of government for
the Islands than has been generally eX-
pected The members have conside~ed
proposition to give the Islands a rep
resentative in the house with vote.
in which regard he would rank with
the representatives and not with the
delegates from Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma, who have the privilege
of talking but not the right to vote.
The government suggested for the
islands will, in all probability, be an
advance on the present organized ter
ritories. but of couse will not contem-
plate statehood. Several members of
the commission go to the extent Of
believing that Hawaii should have a
representative in the senate. though
probably without vote. This feat
ure, however, may not appear in the
report.
The distance of the islands from the
seat of government necessitates the
granting of more power for local gov
ernment than is given to the present
organized territories. but the govern
or and other important officers will of
course be appointed from Washington.
Hawaii has come into the union by
treaty and not by conquest, there will
be no military government, as in the
case of Porto Rico and the Philippines
but civil power will be created from
the start.
In a general way the courts and or
dinary machinery of the Federal gov
ernment will be extended to the is
lands without much alteration, but
provision will probably be made for a
certain degree of local control of tax
alton and expenditures.
There will be suffrage based upon
education and property qualification
and the members of the commission
believe that they have evolved "A sys-
TEN of colonial government which will
reserve full power to the president and
congress and at the same time prove
sufficiently elastic in the island con-
troll of local improvements and the di-
rection of colonial affairs.
When the Hawaiian Commission left
this country the president instructed
them to keep in mind the possessions
acquired by the war. and the govern
ment which will be recommended for
the Sandwich Islands will serve as n
model for that of the Philippines and
Porto Rico

was a lot of plantation rails on board
for Castle & Cooke. This order will
be duplicated at once by wire.
Manifests of the cargo have not vet
reached here, so the value is not vet
known. Joseph Brewer. who is now
here, received brief advices concerning
the mishap to the clipper. He was al
so informed from Boston that the ship
George Curtis had been ordered to
leave New York about January 18th TO
take the place of the Johanna. She is
a big vessel and fast one. All who
wish will be allowed to duplicate the
Johanna's shipments on the Curtis.
and some additional shipments will

Orders for shipment by the George
Curtis should be sent forward bv the

the first vessel lost by Brewer g. Co.
in forty years, which is considered an
exceptional record
The telegram from New York con-
cerning the loss of the vessel and the
rescue of the crew is as follows:

ing condition. The Peconic sighted the
Johanna flying signals of distress on
November 11th, in latitude 36:2f lon
gitude 34; 03, and took off the men,
whom she landed here today.
The Johanna sailed from New York
on October 31st for Honolulu. On No
vember 9th a terrific gale set in from
the north-northwest, accompanied by
enormous seas The midship bulwarks
and main hatch were smashed in and
the deck beam broken. and the vessel
began to take in water at an alarming
rate. The ship was seen to weave and
buckle like basket, and it was fear
ed that she would break in two amid
ships.
Finally, on November 11th, the wind
and sea went down and the men
on board the wreck could set dis
tress signals. At II p. IN. the Peconic
was seen approaching. and lifeboats
shortly after came to their rescue.

tons and was owned by J. Vroge. She
was laden with general merchandise

SPAIN MUST PLAY OR PAY
A FINAL ANSWER TO BE GIVEN
NOVEMBER 22.
The Dons Last Ditch is Reached and
They Must Either Yield or Accept
the Consequences.

WASHINGTON. November 1S.-It is
now thought to be certain that the
Commission, at a melting next Mon
day or Tuesday, will do one of two
things, j. e., either agree to the ces-
sion of the Philippines, or not a dis
agreement and dissolve the meeting,
for the Administration is not dispOs-
ed to tolerate further delay and has
so instructed the United States Com
missioners.
The latter sent long cablegram
today in cipher The deciphering oc-
cupied the entire official day, and
meantime there were wild rumors
touching the nature of its contents.
AS matter of fact. it was nothing
more than an extremely verbose state
ment of the Spanish side of the case
relating to the Philippines.
There was a renewal of the at
tempts to take issue with the Ameri-
can contention as to the meaning of
the protocol clause relative to the
much quibbling. accompanied by
quotations from French. Spanish and
other Europeans languages, in the
effort to demonstrate to Americans
just what an English word might
mean. The latter will take no notice
of this kind of hair-splitting plea, but
at tomorrow's meeting will call on
the Spanish Commissioners to make
answer to the American proposition
to cede the Philippines, and allow
until Monday or Tuesday only for a
final and responsive answer on that
point.
