NORTH DAKOTA THE BANNER
REPUBLICAN STATE.

All but a few counties in North Da-
kota have sent in the official election
returns and the Bismarck Tribune has
compiled the figures from all the coun-
ties from the official tables published
in the respective counties. The total
vote in the state is $3.50, an increase
of lO,S2S over the vote of four years
ago and an increase of II :229 over the
vote for congressman two years ago.
A comparison of the vote by counties
shows the greatest increase in the CEN
trail and western counties, but even
This increase in vote does not give an
adequate idea Of the great increase in
population in western North Dakota
because of the ineligibility Of many Of
n new settlers. The next election
will show another and more marked
increase in the vote of the state. Re-
publican majorities hold up as usual
and North Dakota is the banner repub-
l1can state of the country. Every
county gave the Mckinley electors a
majority. The total vote for McKin-
ley electors was 35,S75; for the Bryan
electors 2O,522. The prohibition ticket
received TO, the Social Democratic,
53S and the Peoples ticket 124. =
McKinley's plurality this year is IT,
1913, or a little over G2 per cent of the
total vote. In 1896 the republican
majority was but 500.
Marshall, for congress, received a
majority of 13,S4S, and White for gov
ernor received a majority OF 1859.
The only candidate seriously cut on
the ticket was Comstock for attorney
general, who received a majority of
S,278. This falling off of 1000 or
5000 votes represents the prohibition
d~isaffection and substantially the pro-
hfbition vote OF the state. He was
cut most severely in the counties of
Walsh, Grand Forks, Tradll and Cas,
where the prohibitiondsts are most ac-
tive. Governor White proved a pop
ular candidate for governor. While

The total vote of the state at the
last election, as shown by the official
reports from counties which, with one
exception, are all ait hand, shows that
the vote was larger than the estimates
before election placed it. There was
a total vote of between 5000 and So
OOO cast in the state, where it was
figured before the election tnat $1,000
would be a liberal estimate. Bryan
got about the same vote as four years
ago, while McKinley's increase was
large. The vote cast for Wodley,
Debs and Barker a small, the vot-

their convictions, however strong they

The Walhalla Mountaineer is the first
paper in the state that has taken a stand
against Ignite coal as a fuel, and in

1t appears from the complete returns
in the state that Mckinley will have oy-
er 5000 majority-the figures reaching
the outside figures of the most optimis-
tic prophets before election. Congress-
man Marshall will have a majority al
most as large as Mckinley Major White
will have over 10000 majority for govern
or. The election proves the hard COM
nonsense Of snch an agricultural COM
munity as North Dakota, and that it is
pretty difficult for the smoothest talking
~demagogue to stampede the nan who
yanks his living from the virgin soil. The
farmer goes up against to tough aproposi-
ton in dealing with nature in its yisable
forms to invite any other difficulties bv

patent scheme for prosperity to the high
office of president of the United States.
Bonds and Mortgages, a Chicago
publication devoted to the interests of
investors and published by F. H. Ertel,
formerly editor of the Mandan Pioneer

space in the current issue to the Red
River valley of North Dakota. The
publication urges upon investors the
safety of farm mortgages in this sec
ton as an investment, describing the
fertile character Of the land and the
steadily increasing price. Another
article in this issue is a description of
the valley written by that veteran
newspaper man, Col. G. A. L~ounsberry,

Agassiz at the saranac.

The whole Saranac community was
on the qui vive, says W. j. Stillman in
The Atlantic, not to see Emerson or
Lowell, of whom they knew nothing,
but Agassiz, who had become famous
in the commonplace world through
having refused not long before an offer
from the emperor of the French Of the
keepership of the Jardin des Plantes
and a senatorship if he would come to
Paris and live. Such an incredible and
disinterested love for America and sci
ence in our hemisphere had lifted
Agassiz into an elevation of popularity
which was beyond all scientific or po-
litical dignity, and the selectmen of the
town appointed deputation to well
come him and his friends to the region.
A reception was accorded, and they
came, having taken care to provide
themselves with an engraved portrait
of the scientist to guard against per-
sonation and waste Of their respects.
The head of the deputation, after hav-
ing carefully compared Agassiz to the
engraving, turned gravely to his follow
eers and said, Eyes, it's him, and they
proceeded with the same gravity to
shake hands iE their order, ignoring all
the other luminaries.

No Mystery About Politics.

There is nothing peculiar or mysteE2

The Atlantic. When two or three men
live within hail Of one another, politr
ical relations begin. Politics begin
when men realize that other men aFe
forces to be considered. Men meet,
bow; each drives his wagon. to the
right; one sells, another buys; they
fence their acres in. They meet to
gether to chop down tree, to mend the
road, to regulate county matters with
the next community.
Whether they like it or not, politics
have begun; ethical relations have be-
gun: religion has come in. Be it fear.
philosophy, instinct or habit, every nor
NAL man is conscious of this religious
element. Men cannot separate politics
from ethics nor ethics from religion;
they are threefold, yet one and indivisi-

From the same source it is reported
that the British prisoners are being re-

ably constitute the portion of prisoners

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN OF
THE WEATHER BUREAU.
For the Week Ending June 5. 1900

There were local rains on several
days and in nearly all parts of the
state, but they were heavy enough to
be beneficial only in the southwest
and in southeartern counties along
the Iowa boundary; in other parts
of the state the drought remains
practically unbroken. Early spring
wheat and oats are resisting the dry
conditions remarkably well on heavy
soils, though stooling is stopped, but
on sandy soils they are turning yell
low; the late sown grains are uneven
and generally poor. Winter wheat
has begun to head. Opinions as to
the effect of the drought on wheat
differ widely: some believe that good
rains at an early date will bring a
good crop, while a few think that the
damage already is so great that un-
der no conditions will many fields re-
cover sufficiently to be worth cutting.
The rye crop is very poor. In few
places barley has begun to head very
irregular'y and with a short P liant
Late fax is uneven in stand. and on
new ground the seed is not germinat-
ing. Early corn and potatoes are be-
ing cultivated, but the late planted
are not coming up well. Cut worms
are numerous in cornfelds and gar,
dens. Strawberries are ripening in
southern counties, but the crop will
be light except in most favored spots.
Pastures are very dry except where
the rains were heaviest, and some
cattle are being fed on moving lands.
Grass for hay is thin and it is doubt
full if abundant rains could help any
but the wild grasses, which can be
c 1t late in the season. Clover is COM
ing into bloom. On the morning of the

An Old Saw that is SenseIess.

In olden times when a person died
it was customary to toll the church
bell a certain number of times to
indicate whether it was man, woman
or child. For woman it was tolled
three times and for man thrice
three times. The stroke of a bell
was called "teller," and hence it
was nine telIers fol man, or, as
folks said in those days. mine tellers
mark man." This saying, which
was continued long after the tolling
custom was abolished, finally became
converted into the present saying,
''Nine tailors make a man." which is
devoid of both sense and reason.

CHICAGO, June 9.-The Record says:
Messrs. Fischer, Vessels and Wolma-

time Of their departure from Pretoria
on shipboard, in the cities where they
stopped, on railroad trains and in hotels
they have been followed by men whose
object it is to keep close watch and re-
port as to their movements and CONVEX
sations.

raised by the espionage, but assert that
they have no fear of it's harming their

sion is just what it appears to be-a

HOLD STRONG POSITIONS.

Beers Still at Majuha Hill, Laings Mex
and Pogwani Range.
NEWCASTLE, June s. Great numbers
of the enemy still occupy Majuba Hill,
Laings Mex and the Pogwani range as
far east as Englebreehts pass. On the
Baltasberg the positions they hold are
particularly strong. Generals Christian
Botha, Fourie and Pretorious are in
command. Should they obstinately re-
fuse to yield and still continue fighting
they will in all probability fall back on
Lyndenburg by way of Ermelo, with
prospects of safe retreat into the most
inaccessible mountains of the Murchi-
son range. Their task to prevent Bull
ler's entry into the Transvaal by way
of Volhurst can only result in failure
and the unnecessary Loss of life on both
sides.
