the Minnesota delegation has united on
him for the place. Congressman Spald-
ing was invited to attend the Minnesota
conference, but was not present. Hen
derson is a broad man, an able parlia-
mentarian, a faithful representative of
the west, but in no sense sectional in his
ideas, and is the peer of any representa-
tive in congress. AS a western man, and
as a man big enough to represent the
whole country and preside with dignity
and ability over the national house of
representatives, he should have the un-
divided support of the whole west, as he
has already of a great share of it.

Editor Britton of the Bottineau Cour-
ant is mad all through at the way holi-
days are passed up, over in his town, and
he pays tribute to those who should take
the lead in this wise:
Memorial Day, 1899, has come and
gone-and so far as Bottineau is on
cerned, no n could have known that
there was such a day in the history of
this country. Though Supt. of Public
instruction Halland had issued a beauti-
full Memorial Day booklet, with full in
structlons to county superintendent and
to school teachers for a proper observ-
ance of the day, he might just as we'll
have thrown the publication into the
Missouri river as to send it this way, for
all the good it did. With three pro-
fessed ministers of the gospel in the
town, not one of them was American
enough, patriotic enough, to observe the
day by proper services, or a joint service.
All that was done was that the three
school teachers of Bottineau village ad-
]ourned their schools for the day, and
gave the school children a holiday so
they could have a time, instead of hav-
ing exercises that would instill patriot
ism and a love of country into the grow.
ing generation. And so was the same
course taken IN Arbor Day-no more at
tention paid to it than if it had never
been heard of. Supt. Halland will have
to take hold of the schools here and give
all those connected with them a course
OF lessons in patriotism-and other mat.
ters-from the county superintendent
down to tbs lowest grade of teachers.
They need it, and need it badly. Not
only this, but some of the school boards
especially the school board of Bottineau
village-should be taken hold of by the
state superintendent and know why they
do not have the American flag floating
over the school houses, in seasonable
weather, during school hours. These
things are all wrong and should be rem
idied in the future, and see if we cannot
at least, act as if we were living in the
United States than in some foreign
country-even if we are so close to "the
line"

THE CIVIL SERVICE CHANGE.

There has been a good share of talk
regarding the assault on the civil SER
vice" made by President Mckinley in his
recent order taking certain places out of
the classified service. The simple fact
of the matter is, that in his second term
President Cleveland took $4,000 Offices
out of politics and put them under the
protection of the civil service law. Most

Advices from the Red River valley
show that tho spring wheat crop is all
right. Although there will be a slightly
decreased acreage in some sections, there
will be a more liberal acreage of flax.
The reports agree that the wheat sown
has come up finely, and is hardy and
vigorous.

Some of the lists of congressman sup

can come from words and acts which tell
rival nations that even a portion of our
people, however few, are not in full SYM
pathy with our government, or, what is
worse, that any Americans actually do
sympathize with our country's enemies.
Such a curse cannot fail to weaken con.
fidence and embarrass the executive
powers. Those who insist that the power
of the United States is so great that it
must always triumph will admit that
difficulties or obstacles created by some
of our own people will have the effect of
r%etarding, at least in some degree, the
prompt and happy restoration to perfect
and lasting peace. I am one of those
who believe that what is, is right, and I
cannot doubt but when conditions are
thrust upon a community by a course of
events following a well judged and right
eous action on the part of the people and
the government, the consequence could
not be other than beneficial, not only to
the people of our own country, but to
the world at large. There is one senti-
ment which should be impressed on
every mind and instilled into every
heartily country-may she always be
right; but right or wrong, my country"

The United States and Spain are again

same thing for the United States. Thus

of these places were covered with blank.
ct orders in the last ten months of that
administration. One of the orders was
issued after the election of President
Mckinley. At the time Mr.. Cleveland
took this action, it was explained that
subsequent experience might show some
of the places ought to be excepted
When the orders were issued, the execu
tive departments had been for three
years under the direction of such practi.
cal democratic partisans as Carlisle
Hoke Smith, j. Sterling Morton, Daniel
S. Lamont and Hilary A. Herbert. A
sweep had been made of republicans
and democrats had been appointed tc
most of the places which were not within
the civil service when the Cleveland adj.
ministration came in.
What took place in the department Of
state was a fair illustration of the officia,
revolution wrought in the early part Of
Mr.. Cleveland's second term. Judge
Gresham, who was made secretary Of
state, was not considered much of a dem.
ocrat at the time he entered the cabinet
With the able assistance of Josiah Quin.
cy, Mr.. Gresham got rid of the hundreds
of consuls he found in Office, leaving Just
twelve holdovers, and giving all of the
other places to good democrats. After
the consular service was thus stocked
with democrats, a special civil service
scheme was devised by which successors
as vacancies occurred could only be
named after rigid examination.
The changes made at the beginning OF
Mr.. Cleveland's second term in the de-
partment of state far exceed those made
when Mr.. Cleveland succeeded Mr.. Ar
thur and when Gen. Harrison succeeded
Mr.. Cleveland. Perhaps not in the his
tory of the government, with a transition
of the administration from one party to
the other, had there been such a COM
plete reorganization On purely partisan
lines as took place in the department of
state in Mr.. Cleveland's second term.
Then in the closing months, the attempt
was made to clinch this ~partisanship by
a civil service order.
In the unclassified positions of other
departments the changes were almost as
general as in the consular service.
Wherever there was a place not covered
by the civil service orders in existence
when Mr.. Cleveland came in, his subor-
dinates found a democrat to fill it. In
the last few months the blanket orders
extended protection over these appoint
ments.
Even the civil service commissioners
found it utterly impossible to apply their
methods to whole classes the Cleveland
orders turned over to them. President
Mckinley realized before he had been in
office three months that changes would
have to be made. He delayed action
until two years of his term had passed,
leaving in Office the thousands of demo
Gratis to whom President Cleveland and
his cabinet thought to give permanent
tenure. The list of exceptions and ex.
illusions was only made up after most
rigid investigation and trial. President
Cleveland put $4,000 places under the
operation of the civil service law. Pres.
ident Mckinley has removed from the
effect of those orders about one-ninth o.
the places. Experience has shown that
the excepted positions ought never tc
have been included.

1t seems practically settled that
Congressman Henderson of Iowa will be
Speaker Reeds successor. He has
already more than enough votes pledged
to give him a majority of the speakership
caucus. In discussing his position,
General Henderson says he believes in
liberal pensions, his record stands for
itself on the matter of tariff and finance,
and while he was not a believer in inter-
vention in Cuba, he voted for the con-
tingent war appropriation, and believes,
now that what we have we should keep.

Editor Tuttle of the Mandan Pioneer
doesn't see much good to come from
railroad building, but he is long in his
admiration for creameries. He reso-
lutely renounces the 500 and any similar
roads, and yearns for the advent of the
yellow COW and the butter r%efectory. But
we gather from Editor Tuttle's article
the reason of his hostility to short line
and similar railroads. He says there
was a railroad started south from Man
dan one time-in imagination-and some
of the stationery is still in the Pioneer
ofice-unpaid for. Thus we have the
whole thing in a nutshell.

The promotions that were made in the
North Dakota troops in the Philippines
were made absolutely in accordance
with army regulations and the seniority
of the officers. There was no favoritism,
no turning down of any one. As the
length of the officers in the service and
their relative rank, SO the promotions.
There was no politics OF anything else in
the appointments which were made
strictly in accordance with the rules
laid down by the governor at the begin
ming OF his term. Naturally there is
local sentiment in company promotions,
but if justice is to be done every man &C
cording to his rank and term of service
what other rule can be followed in the
making of promotions?
