similar issues will be fruitful themes of
legislation, and in our opinion the ques-
ton ofl6 to will be far overshadowed
by these. 1t is not the least of possibili-
ties that the next presidential election
will be fought on the issues evolved by
the results of the war with Spain rather
than any other question.
During the Reconstruction period" the
republican party met and solved every
question and issue peculiar to that time,
and did it successfully. We believe they
can and will do the same for the ques-
tions and complications that now and in
the near future, will present themselves
as consequent to the present conditions.

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.

Dewey has not as yet told anybody
what his politics are, except to say that a
sailor has no politics and that he was
born in Vermont. AS to the probabili.
ties of his political inclinations, the best
thing we have seen, is story related ol
a democratic orator of one of the western
states who was asked to go to Vermont
during a political campaign. ''No." he
said, ut would be cheaper and more con-
venient to send all the democrats in Ver-
mont out here 10 me, and let me talk to
all OF them at once in my back yard!''
Seriously speaking however everybody
will be glad to know that Dewey don't
want to be president. We all know he
don't need to be president, it would not
add one particle to the esteem the Ameri-
can people already have OF him, and it
might hurt him. Grant made splendid
general, but rather an Indifferent presi-
dent.
There is another aspect that we should
consider when we talk of promoting
Dewey from the navy to the presidency.
In our new relations to the nations of the
world it is quite possible that Admiral
Dewey would mean much more to us,
and to other nations, than would Presi-
dent Dewey. We could spare a half
dozen of our best. iron-clads better than
we could Dewey, just for prestige, and
prestige counts in diplomatic relations.
The northern army in, the civil war de-
veloped only one preeminent general
but we have already had four presidents
and innumerable proposed candidates
that served in that war. We havea great
quantity of good presidential timber in
both political parties, but first-class gem
erals and admirals are scarce. We don't
believe that for the present we can afford
to spare Dewey from the navy even to
be president.

KILLED"

In the list OF casualties in battle near
Manila last week is the name of civilian
G. Lamb. killed." While there are prob
ably at least twenty-five young men OF
Pembina county that have volunteered in
various regiments and capacities during
this war, yet so far as we know, Mr..
Lamb is the first to give his life for his
country.
In company with five or six comrades
he was advancing, but they ran into an
ambush and sudden volley killed five
North Dakotans, including 1sadore Dris-
coll, J. Peter TompSins, Alfred Almen
and William G. Lamb. The first three
all belonged in the vicinity of Grafton,
Walsh county and the latter was son of
John G. Lamb who resides near Hamil-
ton, and is one of our pioneer residents.
The profound sympathy of the people
OF the whole county will be given to Mr..
Lamb and his family. for this victim of
grim war is as personal loss which
comes near to us all. And while we all
feel personal pride in the glory of the
death of our young Pembina soldier, yet
the pity of it all-that such sacrifices are
necessary -diins our eyes with tears.
In that far distant land, under the
spreading palm trees, lies the body of
onr North Dakota lad. His bones may
never be brought back to the land of his
youth, but we hope and believe that AS
the years go by and as each Memorial
Day comes round, that always some true
hearts will remember to name, with
gratitude and love, William G. Lamb of
Pembina county as one who gave his all,
his life to his country,-for greater than
this no man hath done.

two years more Of President Mex Kinley's

will be solved. Then viii come similar

THE INJUNCTION.

Time was, and not very many
years ago, either, when this now
ordinary method of legal proceeding
was very unusual, but now days this
mysterious force can be invoked to
accomplish most anything man
wants or don't want-from the oper-
alton of a railroad to the right of a
man to milk his own COW. Up on
the Payette the country has suddenly
become so limited that it is impossi-
bic to find room for railroad and a
water power site, and the injunction
is put in force to remedy the d f.
Guilty. In Boise, Edgar Wilson COM
mences to bore for artesian water on
his own land, but finds himself con
fronted by an order Of the court to
desist at once, as the Boise Water
Company has made it plain that by
continuing the work he would mater
tally decrease the water companys
artesian flow on some other piece of
land and great injury be done to the
property of said water company.
Just how any company can prove
the existence of vein of water at
the end of the hole Wilson proposes
to bore is a mystery, and that they
have a proprietary right to the same
is somewhat cloudy. But neverthe-
less the injunction gets there just the
same. Mighty is the injunctionl
