IN PRIVATE OR PusL1cq

Brother Wa7dwell of the Pembina Ex-
press should not misquote private con-
versations, nor perhaps should.he quote
them unless he has leave to do so. He
is setting bad precedent-sucha one
as to indicate that he was mad when he
did it.-Mandan Pioneer.
Editor Tuttle makes two accusations
besides saying 1--WE were mad" The
latter cuts no figure. As to the first two.
The conversation was in a loud tone of
voice, amid a crowd, on the floor of the
hotel Office, and anybody could have
heard that chose to have listened. Fur
ther, the Pioneer, has several times dur
ing the last year, editorialiy intinlated an
opinion of the supreme court, which,
while not SO clearly expressed as in per.
son 10 US, was at least corroborative, and
no way private.
Mr.. Tuttle was one of the leaders Of
the combine. We went to him to pro-
test against certain action of that com.
bine. We both spoke in excited and
somewhat heated argument.
We think such argument, under such
circumstances, between two political an
tagonists (for the time being) are not in
the nature of private conversations.
Personally, we esteem Editor Tuttle
as one of the brightest newspaper men
of the state, aud we regret that this mis-
understanding has occurred; but regret
far more his misunderstanding Of the
members of the Supreme Court, each one
of whom we honor as gentleman of
honesty and ability, and with one Of
whom we have the pleasure of what we
esteem as an intimate friendship, and we
would feel 1T our duty to defend him
from any aspersions against his charac-
ter, whether in private or public.

enemy. In some Of these counties,
notably Pembina, at the the time Of adj
mission as state, the fusion forces
were in large majority. Locally the
fight was losing one at every election.
But, without hope OF electing county
officer except by, accident, the fight has
gone on until at last election each of
these counties, except Walsh, gave ma
jority for the republican ticket.
1t seems self-evident propositions; lst,
that the personal influence Of candi-
date is the strongest in his home coun-
ties; End, that personal influence Is most
needed where the forces engaged are
most nearly equal; 3rd, that if the west is
so nearly unanimous, that it is the valley
counties that should have had the per.
sonal strength of the candidates.
Of course it is quite possible for each
county of the valley to cast small dem
ocratic majority and still have the state
saved to the republican party by the rear
guard out on the slope. But it is risky
poor politics-and is pretty hard lines fol
those who have been fighting hard fol-
supremacy in the valley since statehood
But there are whole lot of papers ou,
west that seem for reasons of their own
to try and figure that the 10, 600 republi'
can voters of the valley don't amount to
much of anything anyway; but it would
be sorry day for the republican party o.
this state ifw of the valley should &C,
on their estimation. Anybody can fight
in winning battle. The rear guare
should at least respect the men at the
front, who have fought against superior
forces during the ten years of statehood
and should not refuse to send reinforce
ments when asked, when by their owr
statements they have them to spare.

AERATING WATER AND MILK
Somebody is advertising an air pump
by which to purify cistern water. Th,
idea is all right. Many people do no
know that all the difference between

or cisterms etc. and spring wat ris thai
the former has little air in it while the
latter is full Of air. Any water will be
come pure if stirred sufficiently. The
water brought up by the old oaker
bucket is better than that supplied b,
the modern suction pump, because ofthe
fresh air carried down and the splashine
made BY the bucket. Acistern may be
purified BY simply pumping up the water
and letting it run back again.

CHINA,

Amid the maze of contradictions that
have come from China the last month, it
now becomes the belief of the world that,
except the German minister and some
persons killed in defense, all the people
connected with the legations at Pek,n
are alive, though direct communication
with them has been stopped by the
Chinese.
Meantime the allied powers have been
getting men and guns at Tien Tsin pre-
paratory to rescue the foreign ministers.
And now comes another complication.
1t is thought that the Chinese are holding
the foreign ministers as hostages, and il
the powers advance to the relief, then
the Chinese will kill the Europeans and
Americans in their power.
Wednesdays dispatches indicate that
General Chaffee has arrived in China,
and probably, with or without the aid tol
other nations, will march to Pekin. He
will probably have the assistance of the
English anyway, but his allied forces in
that case would be very small compared
with the Chinese hordes. ; 1t will be al.
most like Cortez in Mexico. If he sue.
ceeds, 1t will be a great achievement and
he will always be famous; if he fails,- ev.
erybody will say he ought not to have
been so foolish. However, in war, sol
diers have to take chances at times, and
nothing succeeds like success.
China is piling up a big heap-which
when the final reckoning time comes
will make big load for herself to bear.

John c. Baird, United States attor-
neg for the district of Howaii, gives his
opinion of Honolulu in the following
graphic manner:
Z" These islands were all of them
belched forth from the bowels of the
earth. There is no stone or clay or
sand here as you find these things back
on the continent. Volcanoes sprung
from the bottom of the sea and the up
heavals of molten lava, ashes and mud
grew in cone-like form until the tops
mounted above sea level for thousands
Of feet. Three volcanic mountains are
1000 feet above sea level. If the
ocean were to dry up, these peaks
would be nearly eight miles above the
lowest depressions of the surrounding
bottoms. 1t would not sound nice to
say that the islands sprang from
hades, but that is about the origin of
them. They cannot be claimed to be
or divine creation, for they appeared
ages after the original division of the
water from the land.
TT one who comes from a dry eli
mate like Wyoming, the chief distinc-
ton here seems to be the rainfall. In
some of the islands it is as much as 10
feet per annum. 1t is the land of per-
petual rain. 1t never stops. 1t may
not be raining where you are standing
for the moment, but it is raining Just
around the corner. There have been
many monarchs in Hawaii, but only
one reign. Indeed. this is the only
country l ever saw where one can lit
orally drink in the air. An umbrella Is
an ever-present necessity. why are
you hosting the umbrella? asked a
friend one day. at isn't raining" Just

course. puts up the plea that his prop
erty is damaged by the angler; that
iron pins arc driven in his meadow and
left standing to disable his sickle dur
ing the haying season; that empty bot
ties, cans, etc, are thrown into his
field; his fences torn down and other
abuses too numerous to mention perpe-
trated. Some of these accusations are
but we dare say that not nearly SO
many as are charged. AS for a ranch
man precluding any or all campers
from his premises hat should be and
Is his privilege. but to say that no n
should be allowed to fish in the stream
which flows through his premises Is
another question. There are ranch.
men, we regret to say, who positively
forbid fishing on their premises who
deliberately go over onto a neighbours
land and fish in the stream which flows
through it. With such people-and We
could name several-it is not a ques-
ton of the damage the angler does. but
one CT genuine greed on their part. The
trout do not belong to them any more
than the water in the stream; they
a monopoly, save SO far as their porcine
proclivities may be able to command.
1t Is to reach this class that legislation
is needed. We would suggest that a
law be passed making it mandatory
upon the board of county commission
ers. upon representation and proof by
any two citizens of a county that such
exclusion is being practicted either by
posted or verbal notice, to at once con-
demn a strip of and say three feet in
width along either bank Of such stream
for the use of the angler. This land,
however, to remain enclosed under the
owners fence 1t the discretion of the
commissioners.
If something along these lines is not
done it is useless to tax the people Of
/ Az Il thS VI .
hatcheries for the purpose of stocking
streams. At the present rate of exclu-
sion, in a short time the only ones to
derive any benefit from the fish in the
streams, which have been and are de-
ing stocked at public expense. Will be
the parties living along them. 1t will
then be useless for us to extend an in
vitation to the angler from abroad to
come and enjoy our sport, as all he may
do is stand and gaze upon the signs and
inhale the odor of the delicious trout
as it ~sizzles in the %ranchman's frying
pan.
All the angler asks in this matter is
that he be given simple justice and that
the legislature pass a law that will en-,
able him to enjoy the sport which he
contributes his share toward furnish
ing. Such a law would work no injury
to any reasonable ranchman.

"Infidelity" is largely a matter of en-.

able extent upon the place of ones

probably worship a dried snake fetch,
