that Reed was right in taking TINT
stand. In the second place, he intro
duced the policy of declining to enter
tain what he automatically decided to
be dilatory motions. He took this stand
in order that business might proceed.
Ills course in this respect is now in
dorsed by all good parliamentarians.
In speculating upon the contest for
the speakership, and assuming that it
will take to some extent, at least, a sec
tional aspect, it is worth while to con-
slider some interesting facts and fg-
ures. The total republican vote will be

The determination of Speaker Reed
to withdraw from public life has
brought forth the names of number
of prominent members of the house OF
representatives, who may become can
didates for the speakership; position,
by the way. which is next in power to
that of the chief magistracy of the re-
public.
Serene E. Payne, of New York, is
logically candidate, because he has
been continuously a member Of The
house for 16 years. He is at the head of
the committee on ways and means, and
is naturally regarded as the leader of
his party. James S. Sherman, also of
New York, is much younger man, and
has been n member of the house for ten
years. Either one of these gentlemen,
If selected by the eastern members of
the dominant party, might prove to be
successful; and either one of them
would be n good presiding officer.
The western men have a caucus ma
jority, if they can unite upon q candi-
date. Ohio will probably not present
a candidate, because the president halls
from that state. Indiana has no candi-
date, because none of her representa-
tives has been in public L; long enough
to become a national character. The
states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne-
sofa and Nebraska have no man who
has been member of the house long
enough to claim recognition in speak
ership contest, excepting Wisconsin,
which might present the name of Con-
gressman Babcock, but for the fact that
he declined to be u candidate.
Illinois has two good men, either one
of whom would make good presiding
officer. Congressman Hopkins, of Au-
rora, is leading member of the com
mittee on ways and means. He has
often presided over the house when in
committee of the WHOLE and in that
position has manifested great parlia-
nentary skill. Congressman Cannon,
of Danville, has long been a national
character. He has three times been
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. 1t was he who introduced
the famous bill appropriating s5o,OOo,-
900 to be used at the discretion of the
president "for national defense" He
is personally popular and known to be
ruggedly honest. He is a very impetu-
GUS man. and might better retain his
craftsmanship than to secure the speak
ership.

popular with public men, is Col. David

New York's Favorite Candidate for the
Speakership)
the leading representatives of the west
ern states. He has been member of
the committee on rules for number of
years, and is perfectly familiar with
the practices and precendents of the
house of representatives. He has been
chairman of the committee on Judiciary
for four years. He was acting chairman
of the committee on appropriations for
some time. He is an able debater and an
eloquent orator.
Either one of these gentlemen pos
sesses sufficient ability and experience
to fill the important position. Either
one of them would prove to be accepta-
BILE to his party, and would reflect credit
upon his supporters. Neither one of
them would make record for assuming
autocratic power; for neither one of
them has advocated the exercise of such
power by Speaker Reed. Neither one of
them possesses the autocratic DISPOSE
ton which has actuated the strong and
masterful man who now voluntarily re-
linquishes the power Of exalted station.
In all fairness and candor it should
be stated that no little injustice has
been done Speaker Reed by the news
papers which have disseminated the
idea that he was the author of a coie
of imperial rules. AS n matter of fact,
Tom Reed administered the rules which
were made by the house OF representa-
tives; and administered them autocrat-
lcally. But he only introduced two rules
which may be termed distinctively
Reed rules. In the first place, he count

seats declining to vote, and claiming to

and are mild until they come in
contact with the warm air of the
valley states. The combination of
the cold air in the original storm
and the warm air meeting and
mixing at different angles forms
the cyclonic force which causes
the destruction. Tornadoes are
broken by obstacles and cannot
exist in a mountainous country.
The storms form at a low barome-
trio pressure. The storms go in
groups, and their area at times
will cover several states. The
cyclonic force of the disturbance is
confined generally to the eastern
section Of the storm, and some
times is so high in the atmosphere
as to cause no damage. The cy-
clonic forces remain a mystery,
and while the causes Of the
phenomena are known we are not
successful in forecasting the
storms"

Men who know say that in the
next ten years steam locomotives
will disappear and electric motors
will supplant them. They also
say that with the new motive
power trains will rush along at a
minimum speed Of 100 miles an
hour. This will prove a blessing
to those who wish to go quickly
from II point to another, but no
more so than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has proved a blessing to
those who wish to go quickly from
sickness to health. The Bitters
act at once upon stubborn cases of
dyspepsia, Indigestion, biliousness
and liver complaint. They i'm

nerves, and induce sound, refresh

will afford convincing proof. Sold

A New Burlington Book.

Railroad companies are great
patrons not only Of the liberal
arts but of that modern classical
expression that printing, engraving
and photography places within the
reach Of everyone. The Burling-
ton route has contributed it's share
to the sum total Of railroad art and
it's latest addition will rank among
the finest specimens of scenic
souvenirs ever issued. It is the
Burlington's book of St. Paul and
Minneapolis, a rich oblong volume
picturing first the magnificent
train, then scenes along the route,
then St. Paul and surroundings,
followed by Fl. Smelling and
Minneapolis. In all respects,
composition, letterpress, illustra-

The public domain is being rap
idly taken up if the figures Of the
United States land office Of this
city is any indication Of the rapid
ity with which it is being settled
upon. For the year ending June
20, 1899, the records show that
there has been 3,l16 homestead
filings, equivalent to 498, $50 acres.
There has been 275 final tree claim
proofs made for $4,000 acres; 458
cash entries and 791 final home
stead proofs for 10000 acres. For
the month past there has been STA
homestead filings made.
As an indication Of the hunger
for land the number Of contests
filed is good evidence. A good
quarter section Of land on which
a filing has been made will run but
a few days over six months that
the law allows for establishing
residence and making improve
ments. If a building is not OH the
land and every indication Of the
settlers intention to make good
his claim, there are dozens ready
to file a contest. There were six
contests filed Tuesday Of this week
and during the past year there
have been 500 original cases. AS
the party filing the contest has a
preference right for 80 days to file
Oh the land, provided the contest
is sustained, good lands are pretty
we'll watched.
The favorite location just now is
in towns ISL and 1852 range so
where a great number of filings
have been made by Grand Forks
county young people.

The county commissioners would
do a wise and popular thing if
they would provide better furni-
ture for the court house. The
court has a chair here and there
with planks put across for seats,
and tables for the attorneys have
to be taken from the Offices down
stairs. The auditors office needs
at least one new table, and the
grocery boxes which hold up the
cabinet and letter file ought to be
replaced by a decent. well-made
stand. The c~onfscated poker table
in the superintendent office
should be replaced by a table not
quite SO suggestive. In fact every
office in the building needs one or
more articles Of furniture. The
economical gait the commissioners
have struck is undoubtedly com
mendable, takinginto consideration
the county's financial condition,
but no taxpayer will offer any OBJ
lection to the small outlay neces-
sary to make the improvements
suggested above.

Several state papers persistently
insist that Devils Lake "has sew

absolutely no truth whatever in
these widely circulated reports.
There is not a case Of smallpox in

make the necessary correction and
try to undo the damage they have
inflicted on our fair city and the

All indications point to a good
price for wheat this fall. The
winter wheat crop has been
damaged and in some sections it
is a total failure. It is a total
failure. It is reported that there

it is well known that here in the
Northwest the acreage Of spring
wheat has been largely reduced.

Despite the fact that a few
calamity howlers still shout their
wal cry Of hard times, there seems
to be a greater activity along in
dustrial lines in this county than
for some time past. It is not so
noticeable in the city, perhaps, but
in the country districts one finds
new houses and barns going up in
every direction and there is an un-
usual demand for carpenters and
masons at good wages. All Of this
goes to show that North Dakota is
all right, and especially that part
of it that is shown on the map as
Ramsey county.
