-
kota Press Association ex-
cursion in hand eighty-seven
ladies and gentlemen--repre-
senting about sixty different
North Dakota papers
sembled at Hotel Windsor, st.
Paul, Sunday, Feb. S, prepar-
atory to invading the Sunny
South"
Arriving at the Uni IN Depot
we found two Pullman sleepere
in waiting-the Livingston and
National Park-which were to
be the homes of the party
during the trip which covered
a distance of nearly 6,O00 miles.
Our transportation was all paid
for in advertising, but the Pull
man company--who have a
monopolr and are independent
of everybody sand everything
except the court which. recently
dissolvedsthe legal existence of
its model little town near Chi
cago--made us shell upthe cash.
The charges, though, wereEom
inal---being aboutone-third reg
ular rates amounting to $21 for
single and $24 for man and wife
for the entire trip. The APP
portionment was not exactly
just, but it acted as an in
ntive--inducement-for mar
ried editors to allow their har d
working helpmeets a pleasant
and much deserved outing and
everybody appeared pleased
a.,d notwithstanding those
10 had their wives with them.
There were probably thirty-tive
ladies in the party, and their
number added to the enjoy
ment of everybody-for ladies
are always the life and cheer of
an excursion of this kind, and
their presence is always for
refinement and good.
The journey betweenSt Paul
aud St. Louis was over the The
burlington which needs no
introduction to the travelling
public-and Col. Wilkinson, its
genial and obliging representa-
tive, accompanied the excursion
tn st. Louis and left nothing
undone that could be done for
the comfort of the party. The
Burlington has a reputation
that is envied by every other
railroad running west out of
Chicago. They all pattern
after the Burlington-but the
Burlington beats 'em all and
"runs the finest trains on
EARTH" If you want to see
something grand, something
exquisitely beautiful, you want
to inspect the Burlington's
Limited Express" running
daily between Chicago and the
Twin Cities.
The Burlington folle WIS
along the banks of the Father OF
Waters for 800 miles, and in the
summer time, especially, here
is some of the finest scenery
that can be seen anywhere
small. prosperous towns and
splendid appearing farm places
are in evidence everywhere.
The train was late into St.
Louis 80 our time in that, the
fourth city in point Of .popu-
lation in the United States was
1imited-we only having about
four hours to spend there and
that was after6 o'clock in the
evening, so those of the party
who had not previously visited
that city were somewhat dis
appointed. Like in any other
large city there are many things
in st. Louis to occupy the at
tention of sight-seers, but it's
chief points ofsinterest-and for
which the city is noted the
world over--is it's large and

Some Of the political s!eight of
hand performers will, in order to con-
fuse the minds of the people, en-
deavor to work up a national issue
for our next State campaign, and in
our opinion it is nothing but a trick
to give politicians hobby to ride
over the country. The people Of this
State are not bothering themselves
with expansion or anti-expansion;
what is troubling them most is to
keep the taxes from expanding. If
it is the policy of our national gov
ernment to sail around the world and
pick up little unprotected islands, it
might be against our judgment, but
we are not going to work up our
selves into frenzy about it; we are
content to let the representatives in
Congress attend to those weighty
questions, but we do not walt to be
carried away from things Of local in
terest which we understand and can
control. Let US keep our national
questions and State questions sepa-
rated, we can understand both better
when they are not mixed.

4 Tale From the West.

The story Of Jack and the bean
STALK, wonderful as it was, has at last
been beaten for marvelousness. A
bright young man on the Washing
ton Post, who has recently returned
from Iowa, states that he encountered
a farmer one day standing at the foot
OF an enormous corn stalk. After sa-
luting the tiller of the soil, the visitor
asked:
Chow big is your corn?'
Il don't know" answered the far
mer. Il sent one of my boys to see
little while ago, and I'm worried to
death about him"
Glow so? Can't be get back?"
'That's the trouble" sighed the
farmer. "The corn stalk is CROWN
up faster than he can climb down"
. Verify these United States form a
country that is wonderful in its re-
sources.

The presence of a G.. A. r. commit
tee composed of big guns of the or
ganization, in Washington, for the
purpose of investigating the pension
office, has naturally been the subject
OF much gossip and speculation, as to
whether the committee really intend
ed to investigate or was merely en-
gagged in preparing a coat OF white
wash to prevent the threatened de-
fection of G. A. r. men in Kansas,
and other States, because of their
dislike to the way Commissioner
Evans has managed the Office. Of
course, everybody knows that the
committee has no official status, what
ever, and no more right to examine
Pension office business than would a
similar committee from the Sous of
Jerusalem, or any other organization.
Yet, Commissioner Evans has receiv-
ed this committee with indications of
pleasure, and told its members that
his Office was open to them from top
to bottom.

We had occasion to visit the city
of Augusta last Thursday and we
must say that when we left to return
home we carried with US desire to
visit that beautiful city again. We
found the people exceedingly clever
and social, and we were placed under
obligations for the nice little atten.
tions shown US. We paid our re-
spects to the Augusta Chronicle and
made the acquaintance Of Editor
Hook, one of Georgia's gifted writ
ers, and who is newspaper man
that doesn't drink, smoke, chew or
'cuss." It was a pleasure to meet
him, and we believe that Augusta is
the only city in the United States
that can boast OF such newspaper
man. Hook is the original and only
one of his kind.

The Bennettsville correspondent OF

Livingston, within the last few weeks
has received quite anumber Of letters
from every section OF the State urg-
ing him TO enter the race for Cover
nor" and then says that "Marlboro
will have Gubernatorial candidate,
either Hudson and Livingston" This
correspondent may have a clnch on
the thoughts of both Livingston and
Hudson, but we doubt very much
whether either of the gentlemen he
names will enter the race. We re-
gard Colonel livingston one of Gov
ernor McSweeney's staunchest friends
who could not be induced to run in
opposition to him, and as to Judge
Hudson, his bitter opposition to the
dispensary law and his long retire
ment from politics makes him, in onr
opinion, one OF the 'has beens" that
will never come to the front any more.

wide-awake journalist" it is in the
endeavor to retain the reputation of
being 'a wide-awake journalist" that
we get in the way to obstruct the
passage OF an appropriation OF a half
million dollars of the peoples money
to beautify building that will an
swer the purpose for which it is used
for many years. We venture to say,
had proposition been made to ap-
propriate half million dollars to put
the country school houses in comfort
able condition so that the children
unable to go off to colleges can re-
ceiye the rudiments of an education
in comfortable school building, the
same newspapers now advocating the
expenditure of half million dol
lars to complete the State house,
would raise a storm and charge
the advocates of such scheme with
wanton extravaganza. There is no
scheme on foot to put the country
school houses in comfortable con-
dition, but if there was it would
surely have more merit because the
taxpayers would have some return
for their money in the satisfaction OF
knowing that their children are not
shivering in the cold while at school,
but with the money spent on tbs
State house the city of Columbia
alone gets the benefit in the way of
adding to her many architectural or
naments. We are not opposed 70
Columbia being ornamented, and as
the State house is in that city, we
would be glad if the conditions were
such that We could favor making the
States property, an ornament to that
progressive city which is not many
years off from being the CONNER
cial and manufacturing centre of the
South"

William Jennings Bryan continues
to make the welkin ring with his sill
yer cymbals, and although some of
the anti-Bryan forces claim that he
has killed himself BY talking so much,
we notice that he manages to keep
them guessing and retiring from the
field of action, Bryan may not be
able to win the Presidency, but there
is one thing almost certain, he is the
winner for the nomination, and there
are very many who believe he will be
the next President.
