LINCOLN COUNTY LEADER.
w. L. DAVIS, ED1ToR.-
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY "a, 1899.
The Consent of the Governed.

The inhabitants Of the Philippine
Islands have never been engaged,
except in the most rudimentary
sense, the task Of government.
Time must be an element in the
establishment there of autonomous
institutions. The people of the
United States would not be in the
least true to the principles of the
Declaration of Independence if they
should abandon the Philippine IS
lands under circumstances which
would make it certain that political
freedom would not follow. On the
other hand, thepeople Of the United
States will certainly not be guilty
of violating the spirit of the Declar-
alton OF Independence if they re-
main in the Philippines for the
purpose of training the people
patiently up to the point of being
able to govern themselves success
fully. We believe in government
by the consent OF the governed, and
yet we exercise oppressive dominion
over school-children by depriving
them of a measure of their liberty,
and we exclude them from the
sacred privilege of the elective
franchise. We oppress all inmates
Of asylums and penal institutions by
limiting their freedom and controll-
ing and governing them without
their consent. In short, we insist
every day in practical affairs upon
refusing to abdicate our common
sense. The people of the United
States in like manner will certainly
refuse to abdicate their common
sense when it comes to dealing with
the question of reconstructing the
Philippines. The consent Of the
governed is a little maxim that has
always heretofore been used with
reference TO peoples in a certain
stage of political advancement, who
themselves insist upon employing
such maXilns on their own behalf.
The greatest good of the greatest
number" is another maxim that
has certain applicability. There
lie perhaps twelve million people
II the Philippine Islands, and in SO
far as they are entitled to consider
alton it is fair to suppose that they
esire order, security, and justice.
There is no reason to believe that
the people of the United States have
my aims respecting the Philippines
that would be in the least out Of
harmony with precisely what all
decent people in those islands
would declare that they desired, if
it were at present possible to secure
an expression of their wishes. On
The other hand, it is true that
Aguinaldo AID his Insurgents repre-
sent considerable element of the
population, and that every reason
able means should be taken 10
secure their goodwill and cooper
alton. We should never for
moment think Of ourselves as
owners of the Philippines, but only
as trustees charged with various
duties, the most important Of which
must always be the promotion of
the true welfare of the native
peoples. If we deal soundly with
the strictly contemporary phases of
the situation, we shall be ready for
the future phases in due time

Life of Inducements.

Grand Forks, n. DIT is seldom that
the judge of a district court renders 4
decision conflicting directly With a de-
cision of the supreme court of his own
state on the same question: vet that is
exactly what Judge Fisk of this dis
trict did in Il case just tried before him.
In the case of the First National Bank
Of Bismarck VS.. Brathwaite, the SUI
IRENE court of North Dakota declared
IN a decision prepared by Judge Corliss,
that judgments upon which no action
had been taken expired by limitation
Mt the end of ten years. In the case
tried before Judge Fisk. on a judgment
more than ten years old, Ledru Guth-
rie the plaintiffs attorney, boldly set
up the claim that the supreme court
was wrong, and that a North Dakota
judgment was good for nineteen years.
The court held with the plaintiff. and
declared the Judgment in full force.
The case will undoubtedly be ap-
pealed. In every county in the state
there are debtors judgments who are
supposed to have lapsed. and any num-
Der Of real estate transfers have been
made in the belief that judgments
against the property were void. Should
Judge Fisk be sustained, the interests
Of several hundred people will be in
volved to the extent Of untold thou
sands of dollars. The decision is the
most far-reaching of any ever given in
the state

Supreme Court Findings.

Bismarck, n. D.--The supreme court
Of the state has handed down decisions
in several cases argued at the recent
term of court. In the case Of the Pa
no Manufacturing Company VS.. Jones,
from Richland county. the court re.
verses the findings of the lower court
and orders a new trial. The Piano
company had a, mortgage on some
wheat. which was harvested by the
mortgagor and turned over to the de-
PENDANT on a seed wheat lien. The
company sued Jones for the wheat, al
leging wrongful conversion of proper
ty. The district court found for the
plaintiff, but the supreme court grant
ed new trial. In the case of Harberg
VS.. the National Bank Of Wahpeton,
the district court dismissed the action,
and the plaintiff appealed from the or
Ger. The supreme court dismisses the
appeal, holding that the order was not
an alpealable one. In the case OF Bau-
mer VS.. French. from Richland county,
the Judgment of the lower court is re-
versed, the district court having grant
ed a new trial. In the case of Mares
VS.. Wormington. from Cass county, the
court holds that in a case to foreclose b
seed wheat lien, the plaintiff cannot
amend his complaint and ask damages
for conversion of property, and that
the order of the district court, permit
ting this to be done is a reversible err

A bicycle attachment designed for
indicating on chart the difference in
The level OF the road over which the
machine is propelled has already
passed into the regular equipment of
the surveyor. The rider of the bicycle
traverses the roadway which it is re-
quired to "plot" on machine equipped
with continuous tape. The length of
the tape indicates the distance tray
ersed, and the direction is indicated at
intervals by a needle pointing to the
magnetic north, which is stamped on
the tape. A pendulum gives periodic
records of the grade of the road. In
this way fairly accurate idea of the
roadway and the contour of the couu-
try is obtained. The inventor expects
to reduce the errors to about 1 per
cent, but with more expensive instru-
ments he is sanguine of securing even
letter results. The oscillations due to
bad roads will without doubt be one
of the greatest troubles in working this
device. The instrument is probably of
somewhat too delicate and compli-
Gated character to be in demand by the
ordinary bicyclist, who will find the
cyclometer more to his purpose; but
as a scientific instrument for all kinds
of road surveys it is expected to proRa
of considerable value. ,r,

Grand Forks n. D.-A case which is
attracting considerable attention is to
be tried in the United States court,
which convenes i'll Fargo in June. 1t
involves the title to several parcels of
land in Burleigh county, and the point
to be decided is to what extent good
faith and ignorance of the law are to
be accepted rs giving a right to the
possession Of government land, as
against another party to whom land
patents have been issued.
The land in question was squatted
upon many years ago by Russian set
tiers, who, being unfamiliar with the
laws of the United States. its language
and customs, believed that in settling
in good faith on the land, they had ac-
quired Il title to it which would be duly
recognized. They. therefore, erected
buildings and made other improve
meLts on land upon which they had
not flied. This land was within the
limits of the Northern Pacific indemni-
ty land grant, and there being nothing
on record to show that any individuals
had any claim to, or possessed any
equity in the lands, they We're included
in the new grant to the company. The
original settlers. who had lived on the
farms for years, suddenly discovered
that the titles to the lands which they
had considered as their own, were in
the Northern Pacific company. The
matter was referred to the department
of justice. and c. J. Murphy Of this
city. assistant United States district
attorney. was instructed to apply. to
the court for an order cancelling the
grant to the company, that the settlers
might have an opportunity to comply
with the technicalties of the law. Ar
guments in the matter will be heard

There are persistent rumors in Wash
ington political circles that President
Mckinley is favorably considering the
plan of calling congress to meet in ex-
traordinary session early in October.
While no confirmation of such reports
can be obtained at the white house.
there is ample reason for regarding
them as trustworthy. In the ordinary
course of things the next congress
would not enter upon its duties till the
constitutional date, the first Monday in
December, and that would mean a
shorter session than the great ques-
lions now before the country render
desirable if not imperative. Neither
party will want congress in session
after the opening Of the national cam
palgn OF 1900. and to keep partisan pol
itics out of the discussions as much as
possible it is unquestionably expedient
md wise to convene congress in spe-
cial session.

subjects in the Boer republic ruled by
the shrewd and inf1exible Kruger. The
petitioners appeal to the queen and
her ministers to interfere in the af-

redress of their grievances. The ques-
ton is not new, of course, but the out
landers were SO disappointed with the
results of the recent Cape Colony cleo

concluded to make a special effort to
