FOURTH WARD DISFRANCHIsE-
MENT.

ESENH=E E+.-@-. MEAN L /. ~. "
The election laws of North Dakota
are quite plain. The duties of all cleo
ton officers are clearly prescribed.
The qualifications of electors are also
plainly set forth. 1t only remains for
those in authority to do their duty
their whole duty-to insure an honest
expression of the will of the people at
the polls and carry that verdict into
effect. w
The citizens of the Fourth ward
were deprived of their right to vote on
Tuesday last because of a failure on
the part of the election officers to do
their duty. Divested of all details
this is the abstract truth. The citizen
has no more sacred right than that of
franchise. The disfranchisement of a
fifth of the voters of the city of Bis
marck in this election is ~inexcusable
to use the most charitable expression.
The failure to conduct an election ac-
cording TO law so Is to deprive any
considerable number of citizens of
their votes is not only of great ON
Germ to the voter of the precinct but of
the utmost interest to the candidates
whose success depends on a majority
of the votes cast. The loss of a pre-
cinct may mean the victory Of an OPP
ponent. The whole community is
concerned in performances such as oc-
CURED in the Fourth ward Tuesday
because the good name of the city and
its people are involved.
The inspector OF election at the
Fourth ward precinct selected two
judges-one a democrat and one a re-
publican-according to law. The three
constituted the board of election and
as such had full and entire charge of
the polls in that precinct. The cleo
ton board is authorized to select two
clerks, zone from each of the two
parties casting the largest vote at the
last general election. The board hav-
ing thus organized it was their duty
ITO conduct the election. The law pre-
scribes who shall and who shall not
be allowed within a certain radius of
the polls. If any person unlawfully
interferes with the free and fair exer-
else Of the duties of the election
board it is the duty of the board to
protect it's rights under the law at all
hazards. Was this done in this case?
The facts do not warrant the asser-
ton. The polls were opened in due
form but were not kept open. A dis
pute arose at the outset, caused prim-
arily by the 2un~warranted interference
of Capt. Baker, a resident and voter
of another ward. The board had duly
organized and the polls were opened.
A voter had marked his ballot and
given it to ~ Of the judges to place
It in the ballot box. Mr.. Baker ap-
peared within the railing and unlaw-
fully advised the democratic member
Of the board TO protest and not allow
the ballot to be deposited in the box.
Mr.. Bakers advice was followed and

Indigestion and dyspepsia have
wrecked many lives. People who are

biliousness, nervousness, liver and
kidney troubles, and produces sound

There is no money in it for the farm
er or the laboring man; no money In
it for the toiler who bears the burden
of the government. There is money
for the man who wants to establish
banks, or electric light plants, water
plants, street car lines and railroads
over there. Those are the men who
will profit, and we must change our
system of government in order to give
these magnates pastures green and new
fields in which to feed.-Extract from
W. ). Bryan's Minneapolis speech.
This is a fair specimen of Mr..
Bryan's perfervid oratory thund red
against the annexation of the Philip
pines and will stand just as close
analysis as every other portion of
it. Admit his affirmative premises
that "there is money for the man
etc.. who wants to engage in great
enterprises, and see how complete
ly it refutes his negative assertions.
Electric light, water, street car and
railroad plants are the results OF la
Dor and an abundance of it, both
at home and abroad. If labor helps
the laboring man, and incidentally
the farmer who feeds him, then,
from the selfish point of view to
which Mr.. Bryan attempts to ap-
peal, he above all others ought to
favor expansion.

An Excellent Suggestion

Minnesota should send to the next
Republican National convention dell
egation of it's ablest and most promi-
nent men in the party. Senators
Davis and Nelson should be at the
head of the delegation, if they will ac-
cept. The Sixth district would be
pleased to have ex-Speaker w. E. Lee
of Todd county selected as one ofthe
d ,legates, The only name thus far men
toned from the western end of the dis
trict is that of Hon. A. F. Ferris of
Brainerd. in the interest Of harmony
we suggest that the other delegate be
J. Adam Bede or Page Morris. Nor
ris' Duluth friends claim that he will
be nominated by reclamation, in which
case it would be the graceful thing to
honor Mr.. Bede with delegateship to
the National cOnvention.-Journa

WASHINGTON LETTER.

"Published copies of every record
Of my administration, if called for"
is the sum and substance of President
McKinley's instruction to the MEM
bers of his cabinet. That is the
straightforward answer of the man
who knows that the closer his official
acts are studied, the higher his admin
istration will stand, to the rounda-
bout attempts of the democrats and
assistant democrats to play politics
by offering all sorts of resolutions
asking for all sorts of information, so
worded as to arouse suspicion in the
minds of the suspiciously inclined that
their authors know of something dis
creditable on the part of some branch
Of the administration. This offer to
furnish any Information desired by
congress, together with President Nc
Kinley's request to the republican
leaders in both branches OF congress
that they would not take advantage Of
the republican majority todefeat reso-
lutions of inquiry offered by demo-
Gratis, has disconnected the democrats,
and they seem to be in doubt as to
what they shall do next.
Mr.. G. M. Lambertson, who, in addi-
tion to being one of Nebraska s leading
lawyers, is an authority on state poll
tics, is in Washington on legal bust
ness. In answerto questions on the po-
litical outlook in the state, he said he
was absolutely certain that the next
which will elect two Senat-
ors, will be republican.
The democratic senators seem to be
even more afraid of the financial ques-
tion than were the democrats in the
House during the debate on the reoubli-
can financial bill. There was something
almost pathetic in the attitude of SEN
ator Jones of Arkansas, when he asked
Senator Aldrich, who is in charge of
the financial bill, if no more republi-
cans intended to speak on the bill, and
that no democrat was
ready to speak. Senator Aldrich
replied that the republicans
were ready to vote on the bill, but
were willing to allow it's opponents to
do all the speaking against it they
wished. So far the only speech in the
senate against the bill has been made
by Senator Stewart, who is a long ways
from being a democrat, notwithstand-
ing his radical silver views. Mr.. Bry-
an is expected in Washington this
week, en- route to the eastern states,
where he is going to try to convince
the prosperous people that the country
isn't getting along all right. Perhaps
after they confer with him, the demo-
cratic senator's will be ready to do
more talking, although rumor says
that Mr.. Bryan himself has promised
not to do much silver talking in the
east.
The Roberts report will go to the
House this week, and there isn't the
slightest doubt that Roberts will go
back to Utah, a wiser, if not happier
man.

Judge Lochren of the federal
court, narrowly escaped assassina-
ton on Monday. A man named
WEIGH, who had lost suit for per-
sonal damages against the Northern
Pacific railroad, entered Judge
Lochren's private office in the post
office building of St. Paul, and
drawing revolver thrust it in the
face of the judge, An employee
named Conway was present and
grappled with the would-be assass-
in. WEIGH wrenched himself loose
and escaped through a window, but
was arrested soon after and was
bound over in the sum of $4,000
to the grand jury. 1t is said that
the inability to work the revolver,
owing to a safety device which he
did not understand, is all that pre-
vented WEIGH from committing the
murder.

COURAGE is an admirable quality

Courage is an admirable quality
in anyone-not least in political
candidate. Capt. Van SAINT has
it so coupled with a faith in his
fellow republicans, whose loyalty
to principle he measures by his
own, that he is not afraid to meet
any candidate whom the fusionlsts
may name. The Captain will.
without question, be nominated and
he will receive that same loyal and
aggressive support from his party
which he has always given his par
tY candidates.

The first map folder or circular re-
speeding the Klondike gold strike of
1898 was issued by the Northern Pa.

cidence that the first map folder or

comes from the same source. The
present folder not only contains
good map of the Nome district but is
embellished with several cuts of views
at Nome City and on the beach where
the method of mining is clean ly shown.

vance for their accommodations rath-
er than to put off this very important
business until they reach Puget Sound
There is no doubt but what there will
be very considerable passenger bust
ness from the middle and eastern
states and a very heavy business
from the Pacific coast states to the
Nome district next spring. For folG-
ers, rates, etc, call on agent Northern

WHY Not We?

The Sank Valley Creamery Company,
a cooperative organization in ST..
Martin, has just made public its annual
report, showing a handsome profit,
besides paying literally for milk. 1t
received, in round figures, $4,000 for
butter, paid $500 to patrons, over
$1,000 for betterments, paid its floating
debt of several hundred dollars, and
had a surplus. The report concludes:
The creamery was started March l,
1897, with an Indebtedness of So, 100, for
which joint note was given, and now
on Jan. l, 1900, it has clear balance OF
S23O.19. The milk delivered at the
creamery during the year was 1928, 81
pounds. Butter shipped during year,
50, 400 pounds. Butter sold at cream
cry to customers, 276 pounds. Butter
taken by patrons in exchange for milk,
6, 147 pounds"
What St. Martin accomplished is
certainly possible for Sank Centre,
Getty, Ashley and Raymond-and a
half-dozen other towns in northern
Stearns and southern Todd.
While this is merely the creamery
business proper, there is further
view to be taken of the enterprise, viz
the farms are not deteriorating, better
wheat and more to the acre will be
marketed, and diversity of enter.
prise stimulated. Another, and not the
least important feature is that the
patrons of the creamery receive their
money as they need, at frequent inter.
walls, and not all at one season of the
year.
Do not be discouraged by the fact
that one or two efforts have not been sat.

representative from the Seventh dis

The steady increase of gold produc-
ton in Colorado is one of the most
striking features in the material de-
velopment of the state. According to
the director of the mint the entire gold
output of the United States in.1S99 was
$40, 1914, ITO, and Of this amount Colo
RADIO contributed $50, 600, 900, or 81, OOO,-
600 more than her yield in 1898. She
led all the other states in her output
of gold, her nearest competitor, Cali
fornia, following with SIS, 900, 900.
Montana coming next with 81, 900, 900,
Utah with SO, 800, 900 aud Arizona with
81, 5OO,O 900. The development of the
gold deposits in Colorado is altogeth-
err remarkable, showing steady in
crease from year to year. and that, too,
with a gradual expansion of her silver
output, of which she produced $3l, 208,-
600 in 1899, as against $29, 49S, 600 for
the year before.
