the party utterance may put upon
them. 1t is in measure needless
to inquire which of these will be
the leading issue. The develop
ments of the campaign will de-
termine that question, rather than
the order in which the subject is
mentioned or the extent of its
treatment in the party platform.
Congressional debate will help to
shape the platform in advance,
but it will take month or two of
hot campaigning to determine
what the people are most interest
ed in. Politicians cannot take the
leading issue. The only thing
they can do is to fluid out and
accept what the people make
paramount.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, has introduced a measure
in the United States senate author
izing the president to appoint two
commissions of five msmbers each
to investigate commercial and in
dustrial conditions in China and
Japan. The bill! proposes that
these commissions shall inquire
into the best methods of prepsr-
ing and packing goods for ship
ment and the demand of the trade
in those countries with the object
of informing American shippers
and manufacturers on these mat
ters. The inquiry is also to in
clude the dietary conditions and
customs of the people IN those
countries and the feasibility of
introducing American food stuffs.
This is a step in the right direc-
ton, and the reports of such COM
missions would prove of great
value to the merchants, shi ppers
and manufacturers of the United
States. If the members of such
commissions are thoroughly prac-
tical men-and no doubt the great
est care will be shown in their
selection-their work would fura-
ish clear view Of the general re-
quirements and possibilities of the
markets investigated. 1t will
then rest upon the individual OF
collective enterprise of American
merchant, manufacturers and ship
pers to work out their own saliva
ton and by personal and practical
training in the field to master
those little details, each of his
own trade, SO essential to success,
and the thorough comprehension
Of which means the difference be-
tween profit aud loss.

AN important tree claim de

AN important tree claim de-
cision has recently been rendered
by the secretary Of the interior.
Patrick Kelly complied with the
law in 1889, 1890 and 1891, being
the first three years. He then
abandoned the claim five years,
sn 1897 replanted the ten acres
ginally plowed and replanted
the trees. The tract was held for
cancellation on special agents re-
port. The secretary decides that
if he broke ten acres in 1897,
cultivated and planted to trees in
1898, protected the trees during
1899 and 1900, he can commute
regardless Of what he had previous
~ done on the land, and that if he
continued to care for them during
1901, making eight years of effort
to grow trees during the thirteen,
he would be entitled to make final
proof and receive patent. Under
this decision many tree claims
heretofore lost can be saved, either
undsr, one proposition or the other.

THE PARTY PLATFORM.

The financial question, trusts and
imperialism will be the paramount
issues in the coming presidential
campaign, according to the judy
ment of the democratic represen-
tatives in congress. There was no
difference of opinion on these
points. The democratic congress
men are absolutely of one mind in
designating these as the leading
issues of the hour. The only diff
ferences of opinion being as to the
order in which these issues will
stand in the public mind. No
other questions Of national policy
promise to divide the interest the
people now take in Imperialism,
trusts and finance. Issues of DO.
litical parties are determined by
the questions of absorbing interest
that agitate the public mind and
not by the formal declarations of
their conventions. Therefore it is
not difficult to forecast the plat
form Of 1900, in spirit if not in
letter. The platform of 1896 will
be reafirmed accompanied by new
and positive declarations regarding
trusts and imperialism. The two
great issues that have come SO no.
tally to the front since the last
presidential campaign are not ex-
actly new questions, yet they have
grown SO immensely in present in
terest and future Importance that
they are bound to make much the
same impression wholly new is
sus would. They will gather adj
ditionai Importance from this fact
wholly apart from tho emphasis

LAST week the Inter- Ocean, of
Devils Lake, which is owned and
run to further the political inter-
ests of Senator Hansbrough, came
to us with number of heavy pen
Gil marks directing attention to its
leading editorial on the currency
legislation taken up by congress
since the opening. Hans is
known far and wide for his won
derful feats as a political gymnast,
and it will take something little
stronger than the Inter Oceans
argument to convince the voter OF
ordinary common sense that the
senior senator is no longer, what
is commonly termed straddle-bug

PARTY MORALITY.

For the information of Its own readers
and others-will The Courier Demo
crat be frank and explicit and say when
and how the republican party protected
polygomy and slavery in the Sulu is
lands and when congress made appro
plrations to support these institutions?
According to history, the democratic
party and its forebears, in congress and
out of it, "supported," aud protected"
and appropriated" slavery for about
three-qusrters of century, and the fret
republican president and congress pro-
claimed and ordered it's humiliation in
this country from the past,
the republican party may be trusted
with the future of polygamy and slavery
among the Sulus.-Park River Gazette.
The Sulu archipelago is south
of the Philippine Islands and
north Of Borneo. It is governed
by Mohammedan Sultan. The
treaty permits the sultan to retain
his Office and rule as formerly and
the United States guarantees to
protect him against any other
power. Polygamy has been the
universal practice among these
people from time immemorial and
is practiced to-day. Slavery exists
there and has always existed there
so far as we know. The treaty
with the United States merely
permits a slave to purchase his
own liberty, if he is the highest
bidder. The Thirteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution prohibits
slavery forever in the United
States or any territory under its
jurisdiction. Therefore this treaty
is in violation of the Constitution
of the United States. The people
of the Sulu Islands are pirates
who live by numbering seamen
and robbing commerce. It has
has been their chief industry for
years. No lower or viler govern
ment can be found anywhere on
earth, yet it is all under the protec-
ton of the United States and the
and the sultan and his chiefs are
paid a salary from the United
States treasury as you will see by
the treaty.

Maxine HISTORY.

Great Britain has now definitely
recognized the conflict in South
Africa as war of the first magni-
tude, and government prepare
tions for its further prosecution
are based on this recognition. The
two confessedly greatest living
English soldiers Field Marshal
Lord Roberts, of Kandahar and
Waterford, and General Lord
Kitchener of Khartoum-have been
ordered to active service in South
Africa, the former to take supreme
command of the British forces,
and the latter to serve as his Chief
of Staff. The British army in
South Africa is to be increased to
total of $50, OCO men-the largest
army that England has ever put in
the field. 1t is such force as
none expected to see in battle
array under the English colors,
save in the event of war with one
or moro of the great European
powers. The massing of such an
army in South Africa makes a
trying test of Britain's military
strength-and, to certain extent
endanger her supremacy in India
and elsewhere. Save in the event
of international interference that
shall bring about termination of
hostilities, the world may as we'll
prepare now to witness the great
est struggle of the generation.
Two small but ln,lomitable re-
publics are fighting for life. A
vast empire. originally going to
war for territorial acquisition, Is
now striving to prevent further
disaster that would threaten it's
cohesion. The situation is epochal
in its bearing upon the history of
the near future.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1899-12-28

The difference between the
Sulten of Sulu and Congressman
Roberts, matrimonially, is that
the sultan has four times as many
wives. He receives a salary of
$4,000 per year, $4,000 more than
a cabinet officer and $1,000 more
than member of congress. Your
Uncle Sam foots the bill for the
support of the harem, while
Roberts foots his own.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

FAKMEKS' INSTITUTES.
We are glad to notice that the
authorities at the state agricultural
college by the direction of the state
government, are arranging for the
holding of Farmers Institutes
throughout the state to be address.
ed on practical subjects by the
professors of the college. Dates
have already been set for different
places during the present month
and others will follow with the be-
ginning of the New Year. 1t has
always been generally maintained
that the Fargo agricultural college
was the most important aud most
profitable of all the state institu-
tions, if only its advantages could
be brought nearer the people and
made of that wide practical bene-
fit of which it is capable. The
president and professors are pro-
ficient, experienced and capable
men, and they are imbued with an
earnest desire to make the college
all that it was designed to be. But
they cannot succeed, without CO.
operation in carrying it's advan-
tages beyond the scope of influence
which their graduates create. If we
had in each county, township agri-
cultural societies holding local ex-
hibitions, and a county association
that could assure the holding of
Institutes once q month during the
long period of the farmers rest
between fall ploughing and spring
seeding, an interest would be
created, and an interchange of
ideas, methods and experience &C.
complished that would be of the
greatest advantage to the welfare
of the farmers of the county. The
fact is realized by all Intelligent
farmers that we have reached a
point in agricultural progress
where continued success upon
stable conditions is only to be en-
sured by recourse to diversified
farming and stock raising. To
many these are new fields, while
to those accustomed in youth or
elsewhere to such methods, the
conditions ensuring in North
Dakota are so different that
Il new experience must be sought
for safe guidance. In all such
matters the agricultural college,
with its experimental farm where
earnest men have been for years
quietly solving these problems.
offers valuable resource to the
farming community. And in other
counties similar conditions create
similar needs. We are very glad
indeed to note the action taken in
the provision of Farmers Institutes
and if the state government will
follow up this action with liberal
and generous policy that will bring
the agricultural college closer to
the people for whose benefit it was
established, we shall be ready to
forgive tia good many SINS
