The last session of the Mon
tana legislature was a regular
Klondike and gold was a great
deal easier to secure. With
votes ranging from 81, 900 to $50,
600 it Was a regular graft for the
festive legislator. North Da-
kota's lottery Doodle scheme
wasn't in it compared to the
Montana senatorial election.
The next thing the legislature of
that state will ask for will be a
yearly election of United States
senators by the legislature.

An abstract of the condition of
the state banks of North Dakota,
issued by State Examiner Lang
lie for December, 1899, shows re-
markable figures of advancement
in financial holdings. The loans
and discounts have increased
from So, 100000 to over S5.OOO,-
600; the cash on hand from $780,
900 to 81, 100000 surplus from
$500, 600 $750.0O0; individual de-
posi.s from S4,8OO.OOO to $780,
900; total resou' ces from Sc. 700.
600 to SO, 200 900. These figures
are approximate increase over
the statement for December,
1893. The showing is most re-
markable for it's increases ever
reported by the staue examiner.
February Is has been set for
final vote on the financial bill in
the United States senate. This
is pretty good work for SO inn
portant a measure and will meet
with the approval of the admins
tration. OF course the oppo-
sition have a kick coming on the
bill and predict all kinds of dire
disaster, as they did during the
last campaign, but the country
continues to flourish under the
able administration of the repub-
ican party just the same. The
democrats would not be entirely
happy unless they had something
to kick about, and if they can ex-
tract a grain of comfort over the
passage of this financial measure
they are welcome to it.

spoilation, and exploitation of
the weak.
Bishop Fallows is a fair sample
of the bishops, but we have an
Archbishop Ireland of ST. Paul,
Minn., who forgot his dignity
and his calling to the extent of
rushing into print to herald how
he was going to vote, and for an
Ordinary in his church to act thus
passeth understanding. OF
course president McKinley's
Secretary of the Interior,-after
being properly coached,-gav
a decision in a very important
land deal near ST. Paul and
Minneapolis by which the Arch
bishop captured several thousand
acres OF valuable land, and as in
common parlance zone good
turn deserves another" +" the Arch
bishop published that che was
going to vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt" Through McKinley's
influence he got hold of a valu-
able strip OF the public domain,
he as it were "soonered" it and
therefore in return voted for Nc
Kinley and war and mammonism.
First he said in his note of Oct.
Goth, 'each citizen obeys the die
tates of his own sense" but why
herald how he was going to vote
only to influence dupes to follow
his example? How he could
train his conscience to believe
that a vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt was for the best interest
"of peace and good will'' between
the several classes of it's (Our
countrys) population would puz-
zle anybody save only the Arch
bishop.
One OF Gen. Grants terse aph-
orisms was 'Let us have peace, :"
it was christian like, pathetic,
and patriotic. Gen. Sherman
said: "War was hell'' but what
did those old fogys know about
the beauties of peace, or the
sacredness of ''Meum and tuum"
like our modern preacher? Now
the dispatches bring us word
that a rebellion crushing cam
paign" is going to be inaugurated
in the Philippines. $1,000 men
and officers, in addition to 5000
marines and 5000 naval officers
and enlisted men" are going to
be set in motion to stamp OUT a
war for independence that we
have been told repeatedly was
crushed months,-years ago?
We are bound to exterminate
the poor Filipino as we did the
poor North American Indian to
civilize him, AS one of our Gospe
expounders put it, cts bullets
the Filipinos want, not bibles?'
And yet those Charlatans claim
they are preaching Christianity
We read a long time ago of a willy
old coon who took his Master
cup into an exceeding higf
mountain and showeth him al
the kingdoms of the world, ant
the glory of them"
And he saith unto him, Gal
these things will [ give thee, j

LET US HAVE WAR!
An Able Article on The Deplorable Trend
of American Evcnts.

1t is now nearly nineteen cen
turies since Jesus Christ who
was heralded as the "Prince of
Peace" came upon this earth to
establish a religion OF which
''peace" was to be the very key
stone. He used the expressive
word ''peace" times without
number and He never counte-
nanced force only on one occa-
sion when at Jerusalem he ''cast"
the money changers out of the
temple, and upset their tables.
While establishing the Gospel
of Peace He saw fit to put the
stamp of His disapproval on
money grabbing, knowing as He
did that where an inordinate de-
sire to capture money was en-
courged, or even tolerated that
"peace'' was impossible, in
other words that money changers
and peace are diametrically op-
posed, and cannot both thrive
in the same house, or the same
nation; hence He forced them out
of the temple and overturned
their tables.
The disciples of the Prince of
Peace. and the supporters of the
Prince of Mammon, have kept up
a desultOry combat ever since
that episode in Jerusalem, and
if the figures furnished by the
statisticians are anywise reliable,
Mammons legions are unques-
tionably the victors,-at least in
this country, for there appears
to be little over twenty-five mil
lions of followers of the Prince Of
Peace and the ballance,-or fifty
millions of our population under
Mammon's banner. This surely
is very discouraging exhibit
after all our Theological Colleges
and Seminaries for the training
OF Reverend generals to down the
legions of Mammon led by such
ignorant hulks as Hanna, or
Gould, or Grandpa Astor. The
| uvorct foo t,1ro r,f tho a Ioxyo ovb;I;t
lies in the fact that our Theo-
logical preacher factories turn
out a lot of leaders like the
Heather Chinee who slyly play
into the hands of the MammOn
gamblers, and sometimes preach
peace, and methodically foment
war.
| Any man who would have the
patience, or curiosity to read the
thousands of sermons" ground
out on the eve of election by
those appointed country savers
could hardly believe his senses,
that these rantors are the disci-
pies of the Prince of Peace, nc
matter how many ''Rev. ds," OF
"Lords," or "Grac's' precede,
or D. DIS Or S. p. G's follow thei1
names; without hardly an ex
ception they bawled Expansion
and ''progressiveness" an6
financial obligations" and sucl
political rot that simply meant
McKinleyism and war.

SAY, have you noticed how
servilely some of the republican
papers are soldering over old
England because France has
given such a warm welcome to
Dom Paul Kreuger? 1t makes
the true lover of liberty tired to
read such rot as the English
aping press has been getting off
in behalf of the British bull
dozer. Read this, for instance,
from last weeks Hoisington
Dispatch: GA feeling of brother
ly love has sprung up
between England and the
United States, and what one
brother does in regard to foreign
affairs is generally agreed to by
the other. So it is better for
Dom Paul to stay in Europe
where the rashness of the people
is always getting them into
trouble" Wouldn't that give
all TRUE Americans "that tired
feeling"

Now what will the republicans do
If they get IMP They will spend
the money saved up on the road and
bridge fund, levy couple of extra
mills on the dollar for road work,
and spend it al, too. At the end
Iof two years our taxes will be some
higher, but the republicans will
point to the roads as justification
of their expenditure. Then the PEG
pie will remember how the roads
used to be under low taxes, and it's
two to one bet they will continue
the party in office that gives them
he good highways and increased
taxation.
AS we said, it is always so; the
democrats save the money and get
no thanks Tor 1t, and the republicans
come in, spend all the savings and
get credit for, being progressive. =
1t is this policy and nothing efse,.
that makes the democrats have to
get out and hustle their legs off to
carry a county that is their own by
a good safe majority.
Why don't the democrats tumble,
and cease giving our opponents
ammunition to fog us with every
election?
