"W. W.. Bill, an old.time Bismarck
man has been over there for some time.
He returned home with me and has gone
on to Washington to transact some bust
ness. He intends to return and will stop
here when he comes back. The boys are
all well and doing well, but anxious to
get home. Johnnie Peterson and VIM.
Flynn each sent home some curios they
had picked up over there to their
parents"
Mr.. Wallace was discharged from the
service Dec. 18th on account of sickness
and started for America Dec. 18th on
the Ohio. The ship touched at Naya-
sack, Japan. and stayed four days taking
coal. A large number Of soldiers were
on board coming home, who had been
discharged for sickness and by the war
department order which cut the com
panies in some of the regiments down to
81 men. At Nayasack they were given
shore leave and all availed themselves of
the opportunity. Wallace has a rara
and valuable collection of curios which
he picked up on the trip, among which
are a japanese sword, and a walking
sword. The walking sword is in the
shape OF a cane a very neat looking little
continuance which Dan says is carried
by almost everyone over there.
Lieut.. Col. Trueman sent a native
spear to some of his relatives and most
Of the boys sent some little trinket home.
Mr.. Wallace looks quite we'll and none
he says he does not regret in the least.
He states, however, that he weighed $50
pounds when he enlisted in the service
and Just lob when discharged something
which certainly doesn't 60 to show that
life in the service of your Uncle Samuel
is a very desirable existence.
Quite a number of his friends called
on him Yesterday and the soldier boy is
kept quite busy telling of his trip, which
is certainly something to be proud of.

HON. P. I. McCUMBER.

Political history is being rapidly
made in North Dakota just now and
in the selection Of Hon. P. j. McCum-
Der for United States senator the re-
publicans of the Sixth legislative as
sembly have done themselves proud.
No man in the state stands higher in
the estimation of the people. He is
an able lawyer, a good talker and a
sound and lifelong republican. He
has served three terms in the terri
torial and state legislatures and is
c%onversant with legislative proceed
ure. He is an old resident of the
state, has travelled extensively
throughout the commonwealth and
understands the needs Of the people.
His political, social and professional
career in this state has been above re-
proach. Honest, faithful, conscien-
tious, energetic, he combines the at
tributes requisite to an honorable and
successful career in the senate of the
United tates.

A startling accident, of which Mr..
John oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
II was in a most dreadful condition.
MY skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-

TREASURER Driscoll takes hold like an
old financier. He has found it possible
to pay a couple of months expense &C.
counts Of all the state institutions be-
sides twenty days expenses of the legis-
lature and a miscellaneous accumula-
ton of deferred bills. It will be the aim
of the present administration to run the
state much the same as one would desire
his private business conducted-econom
ical and business-like-and by the appli-
cation of this principle in all the depart
ments another year will find the state in

The jamestown Alert observes: To
an outside observer it looks if the politi-
cal roasts which the "old gang" were
getting in some of the state party papers
were uncalled for. The old guard be-
gin at the primaries, nominate the ticket,
fight the enemy and in this state, win.
From the way they are jumped on
for not surrendering at Bismarck the
control of the state patronage to the fac
ton which gave none of the g%eneralship
and did little of the fighting, it would
appear that their victory was soon for
gotten.

The peculiarities of human nature are
probably no more clearly exemplified, in
any stage of life, than in the progress of
a struggle for political and official per-
ferment; and it might be truly said that
the attitude assumed, by those inter
ested, after the battle for supremacy has
been fought, a be safely regarded as
an unerring indicator of character and
sincerity. This view was most forcibly
illustrated during and after the late SEN
atorial contest. The opening act in the
senatorial drama pictured Mckenzie.
LaMoure and other distinguished states
men, as arch conspirators against the
peoples best interests. The thought
that these gentlemen had a right to a
personal choice, the same as other human
beings, or that they had property and
party interest at stake, never occurred
to them. The burden of their cry was
not in favor of, or against any candidate
in the field, but against those whom they
are forced to acknowledge are worthy of
the greatest and most favorable consid-
Grafton. No sooner had the final ballot
been taken in the senatorial contest,
when Mckenzie, LaMourc and others
were besieged, directly or indirectly by
defamers with requests for personal ia
vors, which to the credit of the party
leaders referred to-, were impartially
granted so far as possible. The cry of
bossism was suddenly changed to ad-
ministration or ability. Thus was the
truthfulness of the old saying that
everything has a head" verified and in
the future it might be considered Il good
stroke of policy for those who are dis
posed to join in Il cry, machine poll
tics" to stop in their mad career long
enough to consider the fact that there has
never been and never will be any discount
on brains. There must necessarily be
leaders and those who, in a fit Of jealous
rivalry seek to obstruct their course, nine
times out of ten have cause later on to
reproach themselves.

In the polls that have been ssmade of
the senate Of the United States with
reference to the adoption of the treaty
with Spain, Senator Hansbrough is re-
corded as in favor of the adoption of the
treaty and Senator Roach is one of the
three or four senators who are as yet un-
decided. Perhaps when the democratic
senator receives the resolution Of the
house and senate requesting his vote for
the treaty he may make up his mind and
get owe on the right side-as one of the
last acts of his official life as a represent
ative of--North Dakota in the upper

Six field candidates-opposed to M.
N. Johnson-agreed-with their sup
porters-that n Of the six should be
elected United States senator. Pre-
dictions were freely made that this
compact could not be successfully
carried out, and all manner Of ghost
stories were put in circulation with q
view of creating jealousies and de-
feating the purpose Of the respective
contracting parties, but a master po-
litical hand brought victory out of
political discord and the compact Of
the a%nti-Johnson forces has accom-
plished the result desired.

Senator Marshall made a gallant
fight, and his action in moving that
the caucus nomination of Mr.. Nc
Cumber be made unanimous, earned
him friends and admirers, even in ad-

loyal followers who supported him.

bic and manly campaign, accepted
the result like the true republican and
honorable gentleman he is, and his
candidacy has revealed the genuine
soundness and loyalty of his charac.

thy of the highest honors Of any state

1t may be q second thought with
the average thinker, but the fact re-
mains that the time is not far distant
when the agricultural and stock in.
terests Of the slope will cut a large
figure in the commerce of North Da-
kota. For years this portion of the
state has gradually been gaining
ground and it is not unreasonable to
predict that when the $500" passes
through Bismarck to Mclean and
Ward counties, the products of all the
country embraced, will find their way
to market via Bismarck. The build
ing Of this proposed line will result in
the development of the great coal
lands of Mclean county and have a
tendency to encourage the raising of
stock on a larger scale, as we'll as
afford the farmers an outlet for soil
productions. The slope counties may
have been a little slow in coming
around but the time will come when
they will assert themselves.

LIE MlSSOuIl SlOpe udS every icd-
son to be proud Of its candidate for
the senate-Hon. G. B. Little-0f the
conduct of his campaign, and Of the
staunch republicanism and loyalty
that led him and his forces, which
have been known as the mckenzie
forces" to join with others and name
the candidate for the senatorship,
when-although nearer the goal than
other candidates-he saw that q pro-
longing Of the fight might endanger
the success Of the field-and so he led
the move which resulted in the NOM
ination Of McCumber. Senator Little
is q type Of that element Of repubi-
canism which prevails on the Mis-
souri, slope-ever faithful and loyal to
friends, and never allowing personal
ambition to endanger party success
or the success Of it's friends. Al
though unsuccessful in his candidacy
for the senate, Mr.. Little has gained
much in the contestant revealed
that he is the best type of the loyal
partisan and republican.

THERE is a number of jim-crow news
papers in the state-the Fargo Argus
having lately enrolled itself in that class
through its ridiculous advance judg-
ments of the legislative assembly-that
is ever presupposing that the legislature
intends to do something wicked, and no
sooner does the Legislature nven than
its every action is tinged with iniquity, in
the estimation of these journals. Not
alone that,b ut it issought to compressed
upon the public mind that, whether the
legislature has done anything that MGR
it's criticism or not, it will do SO at the
first opportunity. 1t would be an excel
lent idea and ons worthy the considera-
ton of these newspapers, if, for a change,
they would encourage the members of
the legislature, present fairly the senti-
mcnt of their localitiesinfer that there is
some conception of duty in the minds of
the members, and that they (the news
paper have not absorbed or appropri-
ated all of the goodness and righteous
ness that may be available.

Gu1NALp THE EAT

1t would be interesting to know when
Aguinaldo was chosen the chief dictator
of the Philippines? In the absence of
any proof that his power to govern is
vested in an authority more potent
than any individual declaration from
him, it could not be made to seem unfair
to regard him in the light of a "pre-
tender"
The TRIBUNE fails to remember when
this assumptive monarch of the Philip-
pines asked the consent of his alleged
subjects to govern them. To be sure he
levies taxes upon the poor and ignorant
to the end hat his ambitions may be
gratitied, but such a course does not
even afford prima facie evidence that he
is invested with the authority of indis-
putable sovereignty.
The TRIBUNE acknowledges its inabil-
ity to comprehend that Aguinaldo's
power extends beyond the control of a
few hundred men who have BENIN
duced to do his bidding through prom
Uses of reward. Why it is that our anti
expansion friends seem more willing to
accept the doubtful policy of half-civ-
ilized usurper, rather than the principles
OF an tried and stable government, is
difficult to comprehend.
Regardless of the timsy attitude this
rebellious dictator presents before the
world, it is noted that the copper
headed press of the country have the
nerve to associate his name in patriotic
comparison with that of Washington.
To this disloyal sentiment, the anti-ex-
pansionists respond with a reverence
that would cause a blush of shame to
redden the face of any true American.
This same element opposed the freeing
of the slaves, declared the civil wal a
failure and filled the air with discordant
notes of d~isloyalty to every principle of
good government.
The progress Mclean, Ward, Nc
Henry and Williams counties are MAX
ing in the way of population and the ac-
emulation of wealth, is not only worthy
of note but affords an excuse for sincere
congratulations. While it cannot be
said that the success of these counties
can be attributed to wheat raising alone,
it is true that a larger amount of small
grains have been raised with marked
success. Perhaps, however, the essential
element of wealth lies in stock and coal
industries of the territory referred to
and especially is this fact apparent in
Mclean, Ward and Williams counties
where coal mining is prosecuted on a
large scale and especially so in Ward.
The western portion of McHenry county
is almost wholly given up to stock rails
ing and perhaps has more fat cattle
within its boundaries today than any
other county in the state except Stark,
which is acknowledged to be tire banner
stock county of North Dakota. 1t is
therefore with pride that the TRIBUNE
points to the development of the slope
counties and especially so when it is re-
membered how hard they struggled in
earlier days for a foot hold.

can state should endeavor to prejudice
Scandinavian voters against the repub-
lican party because it has failed to see
fit to choose Congressman Johnson to
the United States senate, is a remarka-
BILE commentary upon the conception
which these newspapers have of their
duty to the people. The element of ma
~tionality in the senatorial campaign was
injected by Congressman johnson. The
TRIBUNE commended that the assumption
by Mr.. johnson that every Scandinavian
member of the legislature must be for
him, because he was of Norwegian ex-
traction, was a dangerous political pre-
cedent and one to be rebuked-and in
that attitude was supported by some of
the leading Scandinavians of the state
who held that the fact of Mr.. Johnson's
descent conferred upon him no right
to attempt to place the Scandinavians of
the state in leading strings to his per-
sonal benefits he has always
sought to do. The arguments of these
papers that the machine" is against the
Scandinavians-while in direct accord
ance with the policies of those papers in
endc avoring at all times to foment trou-
BILE within the ranks of the party will
hardly bear the light Of investigation. 1t
has been the machine" or the "old
gang"-as these discordant organs are
pleased to term it-that has recognized
the Scandinavians-as good Americans
and worthy the offices to which they
have been nominated and elected. And
in the great majority of cases, these rep
resentatives of this sturdy element of
state republicanism have been recog-
nized in the face of the opposition of the
element that supported Mr.. johnson, of
the Grand Forks Herald, the Fargo Ar
gus, and other hysterical organs which
would be pleased at this time to harp
upon the issue of nationality to the det-
riment of the party. The TRIBUNE has
contended and still contends that neither
MIR. johnson nor any other man is big
enough to demand and receive the sup
port of the Scandinavians of the state
without advancing any other reason
than that he is of Norwegian descent
and it believes the majority of the Scan
dinavians of the state agrees with it.
