SHOWS UP WELL.
Compiled Statistics of Cavalier
County Show Steady
Improvement.
GROWING INDUSTRIES.
An Agricultural Increase-Births
Four Times as Numerous
as Deaths.

The report for 1899 from County Audi |
tor Work, to the state statiscian OF
North Dakota, has just been completed
from the abstract OF Cavalier county's
assessment and among the interest facts
contained therein the following have
been gathered that will be OF Importance
and interest to every reader OF the DEM
ocRAT. The number OF civil townships
is now %, compared with 1911
last year. the division OF several old con-
gressional towns and the formation Of
Easily, Gordon, Henderson, Mt. Carmel,
South Dresden and Weber, resulting in
the increase. The wheat acreage is
about 1000 acres less than in 1898, but
is 5000 more than IN 1897. The flax
acreage is nearly double what it was
last year and over four times what it
was in '97. There is bare 100 acres
increase in the amount of cultivated
land sown to oats over q year ago and
barley nearly breaks even on the acreage
sown in 1913. A new feature introduced
in the returns OF the assessor this spring
is an interesting showing OF the extent
OF loss suffered by hail during the har-
vest season OF 1898. The acreage of
which the loss was from one-fourth to
total, amounted to 5O1S acres, over half
being estimated a total loss and Ills
acres injured to three fourth the extend
OF Il total loss. This year the loss by
hail has been considerably less in this
county, just how much, it is impossible
to say at this time. Live stock statis-
tics, with the exception OF mules and
hogs show an increase, although cattle
will have to increase considerably to
reach the mark OF three years ago. I'm
til the Legislature OF last winter enacted
the birth and death registration law, no
figures on this line were gathered and
much interest will be found in the vital
statistics as given. In the line OF manu-
features and industries Cavalier county
this year counts two Touring mills, u
cheese factory and the cement works
and during the year another -four mill
will be built at Hannah; also creamery
which j. B. Boyd will add to his cheese
factory plant i'll the fall. The figures
gived below show the comparisons be-
tween the present and orner years and
on close inspection will be found to show
a gratifying advancement upon the lines
for which Cavalier county has always
retained for herself Il foremost position
among the banner counties of the state.

KEEP CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE.

In the June number of Home and
School, published by DR.. Samuel
Findley, of Akron, appears an edi-
torial on the subject of imperialism
in School Management" AS the
writer makes some direct thrusts at
what seems to be the tendency to-
ward ''imperialism" in the manage
ment of the Akron schools, the DEM
ooRAT publishes it in its entirety:
LIT may be worth while to inquire
whether the present tendency in the
direction of Imperialism in school
administration may not go to far.
Disguised and exasperated at the
mismanagement and corruption of
their boards of education, some cities
seem disposed to abolish these bodies,
or at least greatly abridge their
powers. In some cases the board
seems to be little more than an
advisory council, or at most legis-
lative body, with the entire admins
trative functions vested in super
intendent of instruction and busi-
ness manager.
at sounds well to talk about COM
mitting entirely to the hands of a
professional expert the appointment
and discharge of teachers, and the
adoption of courses of study and
textbooks; but the plan is not
always entirely satisfactory in prac-
tice. Superintendent are not
infallible, but liable to err; indeed
some of them have been known to
err egregiously. They are made of
the same stuff of which board men,
bers are made, and few of either can
be safely entrusted with unlim-
tied power.
"Is it not safest, all things con-
sidered, to keep the schools as near
as possible to those at whose cost
and for those whose use they are
maintained? If the people are
incapable of managing their own
schools, then let us say fatty that
Democracy is failure, and that the
government of the people, for the
people, by the people, is no longer
practicable.
1.-The people should closely scruti-
nize the doings of their board of edu-
cation, and call them to a strict
account, through the public press
and at the ballot-box; and the reins
of government should be kept in the
hands of the board.
IA superintendent is properly the
expert adviser of the board, and his
recommendations should be accepted
at their full value and no more.
Whenever he assumes the role of die
tator, his hands should be tied or
himself deposed.

we have, than fly to others we know
not of. King Stork may prove less
endurable than King Log

MORONG IS CAPTURED.
Filipinos Fled to the Hills and
Escaped.
NINE KNOWN TO BE KILLED.
The Number of Wounded Among the
Enemy Estimated at Five-Artillery
Drove Them From Their Positions.

MANILA, June 6.-Two battalions of
the Washington troops under Colonel
Whalley, on board cascoes, were towed
from Pasig to Morong and landed under
cover of a well-directed fire from the
"tinclad" army gunboats Napidan and
Covadonga.
The rebels, who were entrenched in
the outskirts of the town. reserved their
fire until the troops were ashore and IN
the open. The American artillery
opened fire on the insurgents and drove
them from their positions, killing nine
of them and wounding five. The WASH
ington troops then took the town, the
rebels fleeing TO the hills. .
While the Americans were on their
way to Morong the insurgents opened
fire from "a shore battery at Ancona,
their first shot striking the Covadonga's S
awning aft at range of $500 yards.
The Napidan also was made the target
of the battery, but was not harmed.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Captain Joseph
Henry Grimes has made a confession of
the part he took in aiding the Filipinos,
and the document is in the possession
of the government. He is British
subject born in Hongkong 30 years ago.
He was Office manager at Shanghai for
L. Seitzel & Co. and there became ac-
gu united with the agents of the Fill
pino rebellien. On June Crimes firm
contracted with Aguinaldo to supply
5000 Mauser rifles, 2 Maxim guns, l.
100000 cartridges, the steamer Pasig
and provisions, ETC., at cost OF $685.
600. The outfit was seized by the Brit
ish authorities at the request OF the
Spanish consul
Then, says Grimes, B. f. Sylvester, a
member of the firm arranged with Ed
ward Bedlo, American consul at Can
ton, to send the arms TO that point by
means of false sale. to the Chlnse gov
ernment The Chinese viceroy was to
reject the arms, but as it turned out he
seized 1850 and kept them to suppress a
rebellion i'll his own territory.
The local authorities refusing permls-
sion for the Pasig to sail she was trans
ferred from British to American regis
ter by Consul Bedloe, her name changed
to the Abbey, and Bedloe cleared her
and the supplies for Singapore. On
Aug. "a the Abbey, flying the American
flag and commanded by Captain q. w.
Ellis, an American citizen, left Whampo,
about 10 miles from Canton. On board
was Lewis Leonard Etezel, the Ameri
can citizen whose mission it was to
teach the Filipinos how to use the
Maxim guns. Sylvester, Grimes as
serts, falsely told him that the facts
about the exposition were known to
Admiral Dewey and Consul General
Wildman.
The cargo was taken to Santangas, 80
miles south of Manila, and turned over
to the insurgent governor of that town,
1t consisted of 496 rifles, 100000 cart
ridges, lwo Maxim guns and 1000
rounds OF Maxim ammunition.
SIT will he seen by the above state
ment," Grimes says, "that both Syives

against the American government"
The Abbey was seized about Sept. %
by the American revenue cutter Nc

Grimes was arresled at Manila Nov. 3.

SENATOR FORAKER is being ac-
cused of mixing his politics with his
law business. Last December the
Senator announced that he had been
retained by the Standard Oil
company, and now he has to meet
the charge that he tried his best to
throw the nomination for Attorney
General to man who would do the
bidding of the Standard Oil company
Suppose Foraker did use his
influence as a politician to serve the
interests of his rich client, is he more
at fault than the 800 delegates whose
votes nominated the candidate
wanted by the trust?

held that position for two years
down, simply because he, Mahoney
had aspired to be appointed Commits
sioner. The details of the story are
too well known to bear repitition,
but in the discussion Monday night
perhaps some new features were
brought to the front.
One Man Power.
Mr.. Brady-''While 1 agree that
these bills should be paid, want to
know how much longer this one-man
power is going to last. The Com
missioners refused to employ this
man, Wilson, and Crisp took it upon
himself to appoint him. Then the
other day Crisp discharged a poor
old man, aged 60 years, for no other
reason than that he was Democrat.
/ say that it's now time to call halt
If Council hasn't power to do any
thing, for heavens sake let us know
it."
Mr.. McMillen-''It isn't the policy
of the Commissioners to discharge
men on account of politics."
Mr.. Brady-"But they've been do
it right along
1--WE were compelled to approve
that or hold up the whole pay roll"
said Mr.. McGarry.
Mr.. McMillen-''If Mahoney had
gone to work right away all would
have been well. | was laboring
under the impression that Mr.. Crisp,
being chairman of the street COM
mittee, had authority to appoint
Wilson,"
Question Of veracity.
Mr.. McGarry - "You were not
laboring under any such impression.

81 DON'T see why there was need
of calling the Republican conven-
tion," remarks Mayor Jones, of To-
ledo. 1.-The ticket could have been
made up by a private committee and
saved all this expense and trouble.
If 1 wanted to get personal I might
say Hanna and Cox could have done
the work without the aid of the con-
vention."
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-06-06

If the records were examined your
impression would be more clearly
defined"
Then Mr.. Homan took occasion to
say that Mr.. McGarry wanted to ap-
point whom he pleased.
To this Mr.. McGarry said: ''That's
not true; and I'll stand on the merits
of my man, Mr.. Mahoney."
After few more incidentalisms
had been exchanged, the motion
was defeated by the following votes ::
Ayef-Amer Brady, Brodt, Paul,
Thompson.
Noes-Brown. Carlton, Fiebeger.
Homan, Markle, Sorrick.
Promises Broken.
Citizen VIM. Schroeder is not over
whelmingly in love with the pace set
by the Commissioners in paving Sum-
NIT st. He thought it queer that
when the people had the price to
pay for the work that the Commits
sioners wouldn't let them go ahead.
He also claims that the Commits
sioners made faithful promises that
the work should be done.
Mr.. McMillen sought to appease
Mr.. Schreder's indignation toward
that august body by saying that the
work would be done soon. He also
sought to set himself right with Mr..
Schneider by saying that he had never
opposed their enterprise, but failed,
the indignant citizens reply being:
"You're the worst one in the
pack"

Water Works Ownership.

Reference was made to an ordi-
nance presented some time ago pro-
viding for the appraising of the water
works with view of the city's pur-
chasing the plant. City Solicitor Es-
gate is too busy at present to proceed
with the matter, which will soon re-
ceive due attention. The value of
the plant is estimated at about $780,
600, and it is thought that a special
act of Legislature may be obtained
by which the city will be permitted
to buy the plant. Under the exist
ing charter, the city couldn't buy the
plant.
