Our eaucu.

1t is important that the voters have a
full knowledge of the caucus law which
passed the last legislature, and the repub.
lican county central committee, at Fargo
last Friday, recommended that the pro-
visions ofthis law be spread abroad as
thoroughly as possible. The important
points are these:
Public printed or posted notice must
be made at least 10 days previous to the
caucus, and must briefly state the
object of the caucus and the time it will
be held. 1t must be signed by the chair
man and secretary of the committee.
Precincts which have no secretary will
be provided one by appointment unless
they act themselves
Caucuses must be held between the
hours of 2 p. m. and 9 p. m., and the
polls must be kept open at least one
hour.
All delegates selected at a caucus
shall be chosen by ballot,
The electors present at the opening of
a caucus shall choose a chairman and
clerk, whose duties shall be the same as
judge and clerk of election.
At the close of the caucus the Judge
and clerk shall canvass the vote and issue
certificates to delegates who have a ma
jority of votes cast, and shall sign the
certificates.
The clerk must keep and preserve the
records of the caucus, including names
of all who voted, and furnish a certified
copy any time within six months, upon
request of the chairman of the county
committee of the party holding the cau-
Gus.
Any person who participates directly
or indirectly in the election at caucus of
more than one delegate or set of dele
gates for the nomination of each office
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and

more than s2oo.-Casselton Reporter.

Fire Companies That Lead.

Commissioner Harrison's report of the
business done by the various fire insur-
ance companies, exclusive of farm bust
ness, in North Dakota for the year 1890,
shows the Norwich Union as having lead
all of its 50 competitors. The combined
business of the N. Y. Underwriters and
Hartford Fire brings their footing next,
the st. Paul Fire & Marine 3rd, and for
4th place the Phenix of Brooklyn, Aetna,
Fire Association, German American,
Springfield Fire & Marine, and the Liv.
erpool, London & Globe rank nearly
equal.
North Dakota has good insurance laws
practically the New York law-and a
good commissioner to see that they are
properly administered.

Just how the all important endorsement
of the Porto Rican infamy. intended as a
plank in the Philadelphia platform, was
kept out OF IL, is a question which can
well be LETT for gentlemen of the Quigs
and Grosvenor type to quarrel over, and
decide. If they can. What is much more
interesting is the fact that it was left
out and evidently because at the eleventh
hour the party managers did not dare to
face the country with it.
That sturdy and often intelligent Re-
publican organ. the New York Tribune"
holds that 1t was criminal mistake to
dodge the issue. 1t says: The party
as whole has 20 apology to make for its
course in dealing with this subject. and no
desire to sneak away from it." That
may be true, as a matter Of more or less
Widespread individual sentiment within
the party; but 1t cannot be true Of its
leadership and management. In the omin-
Gus and eloquent silence of the platform
concerning the great iniquity, there ts
ample proof By implication OF both the
apology and the sneak.
For our own part. we are inclined to
agree with the Tribune that it would
have hurt the prospects of the trust ma
chine less to have brazeaed out the Porto
Rican crime against justice and the Con-
stitution, than TO evade the issue as was
done at the last moment. But perhaps
word should be said in behalf of the
politicians who took the opposite view at
Philadelphia. It is very plain that they
counted the chances and the cost very
carefully before venturing upon such
serious step. They felt, no doubt, that to
! mention Porto Rico in the platform would
| be 10 challenge a continual and execrating
arraigument OF Mr.. Mckinley for his de-
parture from what he so lately declared to
be ''our plain duty" II was probably sug-
! gested to them that, should the platform
open the question, the action OF the trusts

words. and Congress to pass the unconsd-

Religion in Politics.

| The plan of forming political party IN
this country under the name of Cath
o.ic Union is generally and wisely con-
demned. The day for political parties
based on religious prejudtces is past 1t
came to an end about the time the Con-
st!tution of the United States was framed
large percentage of the leading men OF
the country came from places in which
much trouble had been caused by religious
disseusions, and they did not intend to
have the fight all over again il the
land of their adoption. Sometimes they
passed laws discriminating against people
of faiths other than their own, but that
was only because they wished to keep such
people oft OF their colonies; not because
they contemplated having a permanent

The American people at the present day

introduction of religious dogma where it
does not belong. Even strict churchmen

beliefs put In the platform Of any party
The people have come to recognize the
fact that religious liberty is the very
foundation Of a successful State, even more
so than civil liberty. If man is allowed
to think as he likes on the matters nearest

State attempts to dictate religion it always

cause Of good government. II is curious
fact that although the Church is admit

astrous. When party must cater to the
ultra-reiigious class in order to get votes

reason for this is not far to seek. When
a man is prominent In Church work, and
also In politics, II usually means that ne
is a hypocrite; for in the multifarious af-
fairs OF Church organization as it now ex-
lists ell the brains and energy Of an or

tics just as much brains and energy OF an
entirely different sort are needed. 1t is
