AN indication that at the end of
the present century England will
no longer be ruled by kings and
queens, and in fact is republic
in everything but name to-day, is
demonstrated by al incident that
happened III old London itself last
wee6. when the Rev. Joseph Par
ker, one Of the noted preachers Of
that city, excoriated the Prince Of
Wales in his sermon for his pro-
fligacy and gambling. What is
further, the preachers utterances
were cheered by the congregation,
showing that the people consider
ed his criticism Of the habits Of
the royal princes we'll merited
rebuke. Monarchy evidently
totters on the throne of Great
Britain and a change in the form
of government over there is some
thing that the people themselves
appear to await with eagerness.

In last falls campaign republi-
can stump orators and legislative
candidates promised the enactment
Of laws to solve the grain grading
problem. The extent of their eff.
forts along that line consisted of
the appointment of committee
to confer with the Minnesota
authorities upon the question.
said committee enjoyed a three
days junket to St.Paul, since which
time nothing has been heard of
the matter. The Importance of
legislation on that line is some
thing generally supposed to be Of
interest to farmers and business
men alike, but it appears that our
law makers of last winter belonged
to neither Of these classes, being
merely the tools of the ''rule or
ruin gang" that infest our capitol
at every session Of the legislature.

LIKE several Of it's neighboring
counties throughout the state,
Cavalier has among it's residents
some who in years past have been
induced to gather together their
earthly possessions and move out
to the Northwest Territory. Their
dissatisfaction being brought
about by the Canadian immigration
missionaries and their smooth
highly colored stories of "a land
flowing with milk and honey''-as
it We're. A year or two's residence
there soon brought most of them
to realization Of the sad mistake
they had made and those who had
not lost their all slowly wended
their way back to North Dakota,
where they had left good homes,
to start afresh thoroughly con-
WINGED that they had been "so]d"
and that the INSCRIPTIONS Can

people leave North Dakota but
that want to return in short time.

II QUIT CLAIM DEED

April 2l was the first anniver-
sary Of the war with Spain. No
one year in our history has been
crowded with SO many important
events or been so marked with new
policies. The war, as the people
understood it. was undertaken for
"humanlty"-for the deliverance
OF the Cubans from cruel oppres-
sion. At the will of the president
the conflict rapidly widened into a
quest for foreign empire. Not
content with the annexation OF
Porto Rico and the establishment
of protectorate over Cuba, the
administration cavalierly brushed
aside the Monroe doctrine by
paying Spain $20,OOO.O00 for {
quitclaim deed to the Philippines
and is now engaged in the art o
s'benevolently assimilating" the
belligerent natives-who a yea
were our allies against Spain
with machine guns and Krag
Jorgensens. Our troops in thu
past eleven weeks have done NOR
fighting against the Filipinos thar
they did against the Spaniards i,
two hemispheres. The anomal,
is that we are doing in Luzon tn
exact opposite Of what we did il
Cuba.

Last weeks Pembina Express has an
interview of some length obtained from
Mr.. Albert Cavalleer, lately returned

but space will not allow of reproducing
more than what refers to those who in

Mr.. Cavalier says in regard to our old

commissioner of this county and after-
ward kept store at Beaulieu, is also in
Alaska. He prospected some and after
wards ran dray in Dawson and was do
ing we'll.
I met Mat Probst and his brother of
Bathgate in there and from what they
told me they are doing we'll, and judging
from Mats clothes, they must be doing
very we'll.
Joseph DeForge, formerly of Pembina,
better known out there as French Cur
ley,'' is doing fairly we'll and has good
property. but owing to bad lawsis unable
to sell, as capitalists are scared TO invest
in property. owing to the unsettled state
of affairs Mrs. DeForge, on old account
of her health, is not very we'll satisfied
with the country and would like to get
back to Pembina. Their SOD Will has
never been sick moment and is looking
strong, healthy and rugged and is very
we'll pleased with the country and the
novelty of that kind of living. He is at
present up on Rose Bud representing and
prospecting their claims which are re-
ported as beng good
Tue Birtch brothers, who lived near
Bathgate, worked for good wages after
reaching Dawson. They threw up their
work for lay ona bench claim on Bon

They expect to work out about $4,000 or
