THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC TEST.

We hear a great deal these days
and differences" They appear main
~ in papers that are not truly DcmoA
cratic. There is no warrant for the
idea that the Democratic party is en
gagged in an internecine warfare.
There is more harmony IN party ranks
than there has been since Cleveland Ill
yided the party in 1893. II IL united
strong and aggressive and will win IN
1900 if we may Judge by present con-
ditions.
This fuss is made by men who want
its platform. They will learn the true
party test by reading the following
extract from yesterdays Washington
Post:
"EX-Governor Stone. of Missour1.
one of the most active and influential
member of the Democratic National
Committee and an untlinching sup
porter of Mr.. Bryan and Is to /. said
in a recent interview in New York
ley or for Palmer and Buckner in 1896
are not Democrats, and they are not
entitled to admission TO the floor of
the convention of 1900, for until Il new
platform is adopted, the old one
stands as the creed of the party
This seems to the Post not only IA
proper attitude for the regular Demo
Gratis to assume toward the boilers,
but the only consistent and tenable
position. The national convention of
party is the only body authorized to
formulate its quadrennial declara-
tions of principles and policies. Men
who not only reject such n declara-
ton, but go over to the opposition or
nominate and support a factional
ticket on fractional platform, have
no right to show up in the next con-
vention of the party which they bolt
ed. The moral character of their
course in boiling and opposing is u
question outside of political ethics
Every man is amenable to his own
conscience. But q man whose cou-
science takes him out of one party
and into another is just as effectually
out as If actuated by any other mo-
tive"

The loss to the Devils Lake Inter

The county treasurer is sending out

comes the sheriff will receive the list,
and more cost will result.
Rev. J. G. Sailer, of Minot, was in the
city last Tuesday and held Catholic ser
vices ut the residence of our fellow
townsman Jos. Cartier. In the evening
he went to Buford and held services
there. Mr.. Sailer intends visiting Willis
ton; regularly hereafter bimonthly if
circumstances will admit of the arrange
ments.
The board OF education of Williston
Special School District has established
a school at Buford, with Miss Sarah D.
Mercer as teacher. The School opened
last Monday, and the term has been
fixed for three months. If the atten-
dance is sufficiently large enough to
warrant it, we understand that the term
will probably be extended for a longer
period.
According to the statement of Squire
Burgess, grass on the prairie north OF
Williston has already begun to don its
hue of green. On Sunday last he found
several places where the grass had shot
up two inches out of the ground. Whist
do you people in the shiveriug, biz
zardy east think of Northwestern North
Dakota, as garden Of Eden?
Gus M. Hedderich, who has been
absent for the past six months, returned
to Williston Sunday evening. Mr..
Hedderich is looking much better,
physically, than when he went away,
and says he feels the improvement re-
sulting from his vacation. Mrs. Hedder-
ich is still with her sister at Denver, and
will probably not return here for some
time yet.

Every town has liar or two, says
an exchange; smart Alec; some pref
ty girls; more loafers than it needs; a
woman or two that tattles; an old fogy
that the town would be better without;
men who stand on the streetcorner
and make remarks about q woman; a
man who laughs an idio,ic laugh every
time he says anything; scores of men
with the caboose of their trousers
worn smooth as glass; men who can
tell you all about how the war ques-
ton should be settled; the weather,
and how to run other peoples business.
but who have made dismal failure of
their own.
A grand treat is in store for the ap-
preciative people of Willlston. About
a dozen persons, embracing the best
musical talent in the city, are arranging
a program for first-class minstrel per-
formance, and promise to give an enter
tainment far superior to anything Of the
kind ever placed before Wllliston
audience. The company will consist Of
the elite of the city, and will be COM
posed of both ladies and gentlemen. We
make this advance announcement so
that every body may haye plenty of time
to lay up their spare change and be
ready, to give the company the full
benefit of their presence.

gravating throat trouble, left last week

For several days in the past week a
dilapidateh looking individual. blear.
eyed, drunken member of the hobo
fraternity, infested Williston with his
-loathsome presence and made himself
generally; obnoxious to all he came in
contact with, but his career was cut
short last Tuesday night when Marshal
Maderson placed him under lock and
key in the city bastile charged with
petty larceny. Late in the afternoon Of
Tuesday he entered Judge Leonhardy's
Office and stole, his notarial seal and
tried to sell it at Schierbeck & Doer-
fler's saloon. and this led to his arrest.
He also had new revolver which he
had evidently stolen from somebody,
and it also leaked ont that he had stolen
several other articles from various per-
sons. Hugh Sang :: lost considerable
tobacco and oysters, G. w. Jones lost a
case of beer, and others lost things of
small value. all purloined by this knight
of the railroad tie. Wednesday morn
ing Marshal Maderson took him up the
railroad track west of the round house
and made him engage passage''ons Foot
& Walkers line towards the balmy
regions of the Pacific coast.

lecture will begin at $3.50 sharp. Before
the lecture several selections on the

Our absence from the Literary last
Friday night was undoubtedly one OF
the interesting features Of the evening.
The audience escaped torture for
which they may well feel thankful. If
there is anything we do dislike, it is one
thing more than another. As 4 general
rule, people do not wish to be bored to
death by an old foslized speach-lnsker
debating kiln-dried question, of which
he knows as little as Fiji islander does
of North Dakota legislature, and cares
less, and for that reason the conspicuous
absence of the disputant on the negative
side of the question chosen for that oc.
casion ought to have been cause for
congratulations. and source OF Joy
forever, for those who bad the courage
to be present in the hall on that memoir
able evening".

sign as could we'll have been selected
in any community. Besides the particle
pants in the festivities Of the evening
there were from sixty to seventy-fve
spectators who helped to swell the
throng. A conspicuous feature Of the
OCCASION was the attendance OF largo
number OF strangers from abroad.
