Pierpont who has already been before
the people and twice elected as circuit
court commissioner, has been placed
before the people and will make good
man in the council. The second ward
nominated Gurdon Mclean, man who
left good position in the car shops
few years ago and has since added much
strength to the firm of Welte & Mclean
in which he purchased an interest. He
is public spirited man and has the con-
fidence of his supporters. Mr.. Ira G.
Curry is the nominee of the third ward
and should be elected by big MAORI

knows at first hand many of the prob

The fourth ward knows good alder
man when it gets one and has re.nom-
mated James w. Jordan for that Office
and better yet will elect him. Mr.. Jor-
dan has had the best interests of the
city at heart and has been constant and
faithful in the performance of his du-
ties. He has had no small experience

Among the republican nominees for
supervisors are some of the partys best
and most trusted men, men who have
had experience in public life and who
know the value of property The first
ward again places j. Ii. Laverock be-
fore the people for that office. with full
confidence in him and the satisfaction
he has given. In the second ward A b.
Crane was again placed in nomination
by the republicans who expect to see
him get far different treatment from
that afforded him last year. Mr.. Crane
has had several years of experience on
the board while serving as supervisor of
Rush, and now after nearly two years
residence in this city is surpassed in
public spirit by no resident who has
lived here much longer. In fact he has
always been so near the city that he has
seemed like q resident anyway, and IL
elected would serve the ward and the
city with the same thoroughness he for
merly displayed for his constituents.
In the third ward Mr.. Julius Frieseke is
again candidate for reelection and he
needs no introduction at this time. His
constituents know his work and have
approved it. He will carry out good
majority. Miles l.. Parker Is another
candidate for reelection in whom the
republicans of the fifth ward have un-
shaken confidence and VIII ON they will
return to his duties on the board. He
has given the best of satisfaction in his
work and deserves reelection.

Co. Supt. Fox last week received the
state superintendent for Cavalier county
schools. The apportionment this time
is somewhat less than received at other
quarterly payments in the past, the
reason mainly being the recent changes
OF the school laws of the state aud which
is beng enforced for the first time in
connection with the apportionment for
this quarter. The new laws seem to be
more to the liking of the people than those
previously followed inasmuch as each
county receives its apportionment to it's
totaA school population. A poll tax of 81 is
taxed together with tax of two mills on
the dollar on all taxable property. Some
of the counties where the population
and property value is high, but where
the school population is scarce, they are
compelled to receive less than that COL
lected. The reverse holds good in some
counties where there are few families
yet large school population. The
money thus collected is no longe sent
to the state treasurer for distribution
but is turned over to each county treas-
urer, the apportionment for each county
then being made by the respective coun-
ty superintendent

The custom of observing an al

The custom of observing an an
nual day Of Thanksgiving towards
the end of November originated
with the Puritan colonists of New
England at an early period, after
the settlement of that region. The
settlers were supposed by that
time to have finished their years
labors, to have their crops stored
away for winter, their supplies
and frewood laid in, aud to be in
other ways prepared to enjoy a
season of repose with plenty.
Thus the New Englanders early
established the custom of keeping
Thanksgiving Day just before
winter set in. But these Puritan
settlers had prejudice against
the festival celebration of Christ
mas, and the New Englanders do
not to this day make as much of
Christmas as do the people of the
western states. In time thew
settled upon the last Thursday in
November for the annual Thanks
giving Day. The custom of issu-
ing an annual THANKSGIVING pro-
clamation by the president of the
United States was started by Presi-
dent Lincoln during the Civil
War. This proclamation merely
recommends that the last Thurs
day in November be observed by
the people as day of Thanksgiv-
ing. The proclamation has no
legal force whatever, and does not
make legal holiday except in those
states that have acts of legislature
to that effect.

SECRETARY GAGE went to the
relief of the stock jobbers of New
York last week by Offering to pur-
chase twenty-five million dollars
worth of United States bonds
after having paid the bond holders
their interest month before il
was due. Similar action has been
taken by the treasury officials on
former occasions. But no one has
ever heard Of the treasury depart
ment coming to the relief of the
toiling millions of the country
when their labors we're reduced
and they were out of employment,
or coming to the relief of the
farmers Of the country when the
price of their products fell below
the price of production. The
reason is the stock jobbers have
made themselves felt in politics

In FACE of the continual asser-
ton of republicans that prosperity
has settled down over this country
since the coming into power of
their administration and that in.
dustries on every side are booming,
making everybody rich, Russell
Sage, the republican bond holder
and millionaire of New York,
comes out in an interview this
week to the contrary, He makes
the statement that only for the
S25, 100000 issue of bonds the
financial world would today be on
verge of a panic equally disastrous
to that which swept the country q
few years ago, during the Cleve-
land administration. To quote
his remarks We reproduce the
following from a leading repub-
lican daily paper:
"No one who has been in touch with
business enterprises during the past few
months can fail to have realized the
sIringency Of the money market. Ready
money appeared to be extraordinarily
scarce and those who had it held it high
and demanded the highest class OF
securities before they let vt 20. I know
OF banks in different parts of tho country
which had the hardest kind of time in
realizing money. And yet they held
that ordinarily would have negotiable
anywhere.
The above certainly knocks the
bottom out of the political capital
talk of the republican press about
Mckinley Prosperity and the
oft made assertion that such dis
asters are possible only under a
democratic administration. The
authority quoted is one of the
best known fnanciers of the day
amongst eastern monied men and
proves the fallucy of the campaign
prosperity racket which the
other fellows have been preaching
to the people for months past.
