The driving of the first spike in the
Washburn road yesterday was signi-
ficant of the advances in North Dakota.
A few years ago naked and u%ninhabited
prairies along the Missouri slope and
today work begun on the construction
of the railroad that opens up this
country and puts it in communication
with markets. History is made in
the present and seen only from the
future, when we look backward, or
when another generation views the
work of pioneering. General Wash
burn is to be congratulated as having
been the man who did so much to de-
velop this new country, that shall take
its place with the farming regions of
eastern states, in the future.

The New York ice trust has opened
it's bleeding heart and will sell fifteen
pounds of hard water to the poor for
five cents. This is another case of
cold comfort. We hope the ice trusts
generosity may not give it a chill. If
we could gather all the poor of New
York to our bosom about January 1,
we would be pleased to give them all
the ice they could lug away free of
charge.

Senator Butler made a pretty little
speech at Sioux Falls wherein he al
luded to Senator Pettigrew fighting
the enemy in the halls of the senate
with the bludgeon of truth" There
is no question but the South Dakota
senator has a beautiful bludgeon, which
he uses at all opportunities.

It seems the contest in Ward county
and two sets of delegates to the state
conventions-arises over the refusal
of the chairman of the convention to
allow a veriication or recasting Of the
vote-which stood 80 to 81 against the
Murphy faction. After that each fac
ton trotted by itself.

The populists have cornered the
democrats in good shape at the Sioux
Falls convention. They have nomin-
ated Bryan for president, and if the
democratic convention fails to nomin-
ate him at Kansas City, he is in the
field as the candidate of a branch of
the populists. The holding of the
Sioux Falls pop convention in advance
of the democratic ties the hands of the
democrats and they must either nomi-
nate Bryan or give up all hope of
waging a successful battle. Then
again, the democrats will either have
to endorse the pop platform or make
themselves ridiculous by running a
pop candidate on a democrat patforlm.
The populists appears to have swal-
lowed up the old democratic party, to
all intents and purposes. The shade
of Thomas Jefferson would be extreme
ly pensive were it able to be about
and see to what the democratic party
had come.

year.

The Grand Forks Herald urges the
business men of that city to see that
in the coming census enumeration
none of the population of the city is
overlooked. The Herald rightly calls
attention to the Importance of secur-
ing accurate enumeration, as no
amount of supplementary statistics
showing that the city has a greater
population than that recorded by the
census will avail against the census
figures. The same thing applies to
every city in the state. Careful and
painstaking enumerators are wanted,
and all citizens who have pride in their
localities may assist che enumerators
materially.

Germany, Russia, Great Britain-in
short, from all the civilized countries
of the Old World-and intermingling
for m common purpose, have devel-
oped a wonderful unanimity of thought
and opinion, uncommon in those
states of widely diversified industries
and interests.
They are not only educated, INTEL
ligent, and cultureu, but practical and
fully equipped with common sense,
that greatest of all endowments.
THE state has hardly been settled
twenty years and has been a member
of the union of states barely ten years,
but it's people believe in education, not
only for the rest of the world, but for
themselves. They are progressive
and liberal, yet at the same time con-
sentative.
Il find that Vermont, with $3.50
children of school age, expended for
schools in 1898, $933, 600; Virginia,
with 5S2, 100 children, spent 81, 49,, 900;
South Carolina, with 473,O children,
spent S697,OOO, and North Carolina,
with 10000 children, spent $931 900;
while North Dakota, with 9G,1SO chill
dren, expended $1,2SO,OOO, or, with a
number of children, spent about me-
third more for education than North
Carolina.
THE interests of the state of Mis-
sissippi are protected on the floor of
this house by seven members, who in
1898 received a combined vote of % 1865
out of a total congressional vote of
27,1S7, yet the people of North Dakota
showed sufficient interest in the issue
of the day to visit the polls and cast
2',776 votes for its one representative,
or 5,411 more than the total for the
seven Mississippi members and $50
more than the total congressional vote
of the seven districts of that state"

composites two purposes. 1t provides
in the first place that, in determining
the p%ensionable disability of a veteran
under the dependent pension act,
leach and every infrmity shall be duly
considered and the aggregate of the
disabilities shown be rated" It has
beer the practice for medical examin-
ers to give each applicant a rating on
the basis of one-eighteenth for each
infirmity, the veterans who received
the rating of Observation-Disclosures be-
ing entitled to the maximum pension
of $12 a month. With the change of
pension commissioners the system of
marking is modified and the veterans
claim that they suffer thereby. I'm
der the Grand Army bill they will have
each infirmity considered, and they say
it will be to their advantage. Disa-
bilities to a veteran under the depend
ent act need not be of service origin.
Should he be injured in a railroad ac-
cident and his war record be good he
would receive an allowance under it.
The second purpose of the Grand Army
bill is to permit a widow with IAN ac-
tual net income not exceeding $3.50 a
year" to obtain a pension provided she
furnishes proof of her husbands death
and establishes the fact that he was
a veteran. At present widows of
veterans are barred from the benefits
of the law if they have an income of
S9G a year. The bill, having been
slightly amended, must go back to the
senate, but there will be no objection
to its passage at this session.

PERRY Belmont, who has in the past

that his services might be command

that he would be glad to speak for

WHOSE OK IS GORED.

The people of Ohio-or some of
them-are very much exercised be-
cause an imported speaker who ma
ligned the people was not allowed to
speak in North Carolina town.
While they are reading this State lee
lures on the evils of mob law, this in
cident in McKinley's own State is thus
recorded by the Associated Press:
Mansfield, Ohio, August 5.-"Over-
seer John III. Piper and Elders f. p.
Fisher, A. W. McClul<in and A. Nc
Farland, of Dowie's ''Christian Catho-
lie Church in Zion,'' arrived here early
today to hold services of their church.
A mob of 1000 was in waiting. The
policemen refused to allow the visit
ors to get out of the car, and amid
cheers and shouts they went on to
Ashland, IA miles east. There they
attempted to hire a carriage to drive
here, but all the liverymen refused
their requests. Then they telegraph
ed back that they would be here again
in the afternoon, and they came.
Nearly 1000 persons were at the de-
pot this time, and again they were
not permitted to leave the car. They
then said: IF we can't get off here,
we will 60 on to Chicago, but we can
not promise that we will not be back
here next Sunday"
The old fable in the blue back spell
ling book is always in point. If there
is infraction of the law in Ohio, it
is a small affair. If it happens in
North Carolina its people are sayages
and barbarians and anarchists and the
like. F$iSE SIX1E4M

TIRED OF THE COLOR LINE.

81 am tired of hearing the talk of
'nigger, niger, nigger,'" said Butler
in the campaign when he was trying
to keep negroes in office in North
Carolina. But the white folks were
determined to put an end to negro
office-holding and they would not let
him escape from the wrongs he had
inflicted upon the people of North
Carolina.
''Let us have done with talking
about the negro in politics" says the
Republican and the Democratic bolter
who wants to vote for Mckinley and
McKinley's twenty-seven negro post
masters in North Carolina. But the
white folks are as determined to put
an end to negro ederal offce-holders
as they were to State offce-holders,
and they will not now let any white
man escape their indignation who
wishes to vote for a President who
appoints negro postmasters in North
Carolina towns. Everybody who
wants good government is tired of the
negro in politics, tired of the negro
in Offices and as tired of Senator'S and
Compressor who put negroes in Fed
eral Offices as of legislators and man
ayers who put them in local offices.
There is no difference. The man
who votes for Mckinley votes for ne
gro postmasters in North Carolina
towns Just as the man who voted for
Butler and Pritchard voted for negro
State and county officers.
