DIsUNrTED,

The many different nominations OF
Bryan by as many different parties, are
simply signs of fragmentary support.
While in a sense combination, vet in
another sense it is a certain sign of dis
organization. According to their separ-
ate platforms, they acknowledge that
they differ with Bryan and with the dem.
ocratic platform on most questions. For
instance the "silver republicans" as they
call themselves, are, if republicans at all,
for tariff, expansion, ETC., but agree with
Bryan on 16 to 1, which he says is not
paramount in this campaign, but which,
by their action they make the paramount
issue.
Then there are the populists. Sixteen
to one, is their shibboleth. notwithstand.
ing it is not the paramount issue. Orig
inally they opposed everything demo-
cratic equally with everything republican,
but through association it is pretty
hard to distinguish one party from the
other except by the tail-of the ticket
and lately they have even cut off Towne
and attached Stevenson.
AS for the anti expansionists, they
don't agree with Bryan on money, tariff,
or anything else except to haul down the
fag,and that that is the paramount issue.
How these different concentrations
would agree in case of Bryan's success,
is considerable of a problem. Each
would doubtless claim the honor of his
election and want proceeds accordingly,
but the old time democrat winks his
other eye-and concludes-that his
branch of the party hold the '.organ.

Half Of the last British loan was taken
BY people in the United States, so that in
|plac,s of this country having to work to
pay interest to British holders of United
States bonds, the process is reversed and
the Britisher is now compelled to send
money to this country to pay interest on
his obligations. This is another condi.
ton which Bryan promises to change
when he gets into power.
The cartoon showing the huge cake OF
ice frozen to the tail of the Tammany
tiger, puts the democratic trust plank in
cold storage, and practically closes sup
the mouths of the democratic orators
and papers on subject that they thought
to win many votes. The trust question
may be political question but it is evi-
dent that it is not partizan.

The Dickinson Recorder prints an
affidavit from James c. Young Of Mime
apolis who claims that he holds a mort
gage on a lot in Dickinson owned by
Leslie A. Simpson, who was recently
disbarred by the supreme court, and that
in June. 1895, he, Young, started pro-
ceedings in foreclosure and that up to
this time he has never been able to get
judgment, and that Simpson has told
him at divers times, that so long as
Judge Winchester sits on the bench you
can never foreclose those mortgages, y
that he, Simpson, had such an under
standing with the court that under no
circumstances would the judge render a
decree against him" or words to that
effect. Now, either Mr.. Clark or Simp-
son is aliaro or else it sounds bad for
the court. sss

ways he is better of than the millionaire
of that time.
In no class is there greater improve
n1ent than In farm lie and particularly in
pioneer farm life. To go out and open
up farm hundred years ago meant an
isolation from the world, life time Of
hard labor in clearing up. It meant
scores and perhaps hundreds of miles
from markets, mail at rare periods, two
or three months school in year, and
money was an article but rarely handled.
A frontier farmer with carpets on the
floor. an organ or piano in the house
and buggy in the shed was an un-
known individual. In the sense of pos
sessions, conveniences and opportunities
the "poor" of the great middle classes
have indeed grown richer.
So also have ,the millionaires; multi
millionaires were then scarce, now they
are plenty and there. are more erich"
people than before. But the rich of a
hundred, and in most cases those of fifty
years ago have not grown richer. It is
mostly men of the lower and middle
classes that have grown richer. They
have grasped the opportunities made
possible in these days Of electricity and
steam, and grown rich. In that sense it
is not true that the rich as class have
grown richer, for most of the multi
millionaires of the present day did not
start rich.
The pauper poor are always poor and
can be no poorer. The middle classes
are richer by far than they were fifty Or a
hundred years ago, either reckoned in
wages, opportunities or possessions.
While the rich are mostly of the poor or
middle class origin, and therefore their
success is but the poor growing richer.

Out in Dickinson lately the Prohibition
League Spoilers" were arrested on the
charge of stealing valise from a saloon
and were put in Jail and finally released
on bal. Some years ago there was some
similar work attempted here against wit
nesses in prohibition cases, but the re-
suit was Just opposite to that expected
by the piggers. Public sentiment was
created against the piggers. But may
be they are different sort of people out
on theslope. However, they will change
in time, say two or three years at the
most, and blind pigs will not always be
the most influential members in that
locality.

Mr. Bryan did not close his predicting
department when he received the elec-
ton returns of 1896. After his defeat he
issued an address in which he said:
"Before the year 1900 arrives the evil
effects of gold standard will be even
more evident than they are now, and the
people, then ready to demand an Ameri-
can financial policy for the American
people, will join with us in the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the present legal
ratio Of 16 to l." Has anybody noticed
a great rush at>the realization entrance OF
this prediction?

QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS.
a ore,t da,1 fac haa,, e.;d h., Tho .t,t.

QUALIFICATIONS or VOTERS.
A great deal has been said by the state
press in relation to the constitutional
amendment voted on and adopted by
the people at the last general election,
respecting the rights of those entitled to
vote at the coming election, and the re-
ports so far given out are conflicting.
The amendment, as adopted, reads as
follows:
Article 2. Section 121. Every male
person of the age Of 21 years or upwards,
belonging to either Of the following
classes. who shall have resided in the
state one year and in the county six
months, and IN the precinct ninety days
next preceding any election, shall be a
qualified elector at such election;
First-Citizens of the United States.
Second-Civilized persons of Indian
descent who shall have severed their tri-
bal relations two years next proceeding
such election.
The amendment is perfectly plain and
no one needs a lawyer to interpret the
meaning of it for them. 1t simply says
that only citizens will be entitled to vote,
and doesn't mean that persons who have
only declared their intentions can vote.
The term citizen means native born
citizen 21 years of age, or a naturalized
citizen who has taken out his full papers.

ing to cut off retreat end to besiege the
allies in turn. No reinforcements are
near to succor the allies, for the only
forces left at Tien Tsin are barely able
to hold that city, and the next news is
anxiously waited for.
The world has seen but few as daring
expeditions of rescue, let us hope it will
be as successful as it is daring: For any
other purpose, or other circumstances,
such an expedition would have been fool
hardy and inexcusable from military
point of view, but there was nothing else
to do. There was but the alternative o
success or be sacrificed. And the world
congratulates the rescuers and rescued
on the present success.

dems "the ill-concealed republican ALI.

time opposing the passage of the ship
subsidy bill, which seeks to take from
British ships the IS per cent of American

it to American ships instead. 1t is sin.

Senator Stewart, though still believing
in his former financial theories, has come
out for Mckinley. Mr.. Stewart, says
that when man like Bryan volunteers
for war, and when he uses his influence
to have treaty of peace signed that gave
US the PHILIPPINES, that something i.
wrong when he opposes the legitimate
result:of his own efforts, and Mr.. Stew.
art thinks he would not be proper per
son to elect as president.

RICH AND POOR.

There is deal of talk about the rich
growing richer and the poor growing
poorer in these latter days.
The poor we have always with US.
Under any circumstances at any time
there are the poor. As to the class Of
very poor, the only question is numbers.
In our own opinion, the number of peo-
pie in the world, or perhaps in civilized
nations, who are in actual want, who
have no visible means Of support, is at
least no larger than for a century or
more.
On the other hand there is not the
least doubt that the circumstances Of the
working and middle classes have vastly
improved during the last century, and
the improvement has been more rapid
than ever during the last fifty years, a
period Of time within the memories Of
the more adult portion Of the people
now livings Among these impro
are ownership Of homes, the furnishing
and equipment Of the home, clothing,
social life, schools. churches, . large
variety of modern conveniences, all OBJ
Ejtainable at less prices, with higher wages
and less hours Of work. This improve
ment in condition comes from various
sources. but in general il may be stated
Ithat the working man gets more money,
works less hours and can buy great

MAGNIFICENT BRAVERY.

alive ease with which the allies marched
from Tien Tsin to Peking and entered
the capital city, should not blind us to
the terrible possibilities that army had
to face and may yet encounter, and the
bravery of the officers and men who
made the wonderful march.
A bitter resistance and a long list OF
casualties on the side of the allies, which
was the result Of the first battle at the
city often Tsin, proved that the Chi.
nese were well armed and could fight.
Admiral Seymour with his expedition o1
two or three thousand men had been
driven back BY superior numbers and
barely escaped determination. The
enemy had planned to food the whole
country. At least two fortified cities
were on the way. Transportation facil-
tiles were very scarce. The attacking
forces were short of horses for their cav
airy and artillery. 1t was impossible to
take along heavy guns even if they had
them to take. And yet these men of diff
ferent nations united by the common i'm
pulse of humanity for the rescue of the
800 legationers. started without delay,
with hurried and inadequate prepara-
tons. for march of hundred miles in
land, to take city whose walls are fifty
feet high and sixty feet thick, through a
country whose every square mile has as
many inhabitants as the average North
Dakota village, to face the army of a
nation Of 500, 600, 600 people.
That brave army of the allies number
ing less than 20, 600, started inland with
out hope Of reinforcements and with ter
rible heat and awful roads, fought two
battles on the way, and at last came to
the walls of Pekin. Bivouacking around
the city, the same night of their arrival,
they heard the sound of cannon and shell
within the city. They knew it was the
Chinese striving to annihilate the mem-
bers of the legations before the allies
could take the city. Then without rest,
without waiting for the morning, without
even waiting for consultation, the allies,
the Japs on one side Of the city, the En-.
glish and Americans on the other side,
and the Russians at another gate, stimuli
taneously attacked, and within short
time with comparatively little loss were
within the gates, and were clasping
hands with their friends who had been
so long besieged within the city, and
who were nearly exhausted with contin.
uous fighting, and for want of food and
ammunition could not have held out more
than one or two days more.
1t was grand thing and brave thing
thus to do, and not only is the quality of
bravery so conspicuous but that other
quality "ofgetting there is not less ad-
mirable. The hurried march broke up
the Chinese plan of damming the river,
before they were ready, and it is prob
able that two days delay would have

A FEW FACTS.
About the New Catarrh Cure.

The new Catarrh Cure Is a new de-
parture in sc-called catarrh cures, be-
cause vt actually cures, and Is not
simply temporary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure Is not n
salve, ointment powder nor liquid, but
a pleasant tasting tablet containing the
best specifics for catarrh in concen-
trated convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and
olntments are greasy, dirty and incon-
venient at the best; the new prepara-
tlon being in tablet form is always
clean and convenient.
The new Catarrh Cure IS superior to
Catarrh powders because it IS n motor
ious fact that many Catarrh powders
contain cocaine.
The new Catarrh Cure is called
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a whole
some combination of blood root, beach
wood tar, guaiacol and other antisep-
tics, and cures by its action upon the
blood and mucus membrane, the only
rational treatment for catarrhal trou-
bic.
You do not have to draw upon your
imagination to discover whether you
are getting benefit from Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets; improvements and re-
lief are apparent from the first tablet
taken.
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but 30 cents for full
sized packages, and any catarrh suf-
ferer who has wasted time and money
on sprays, salves and powders, Will
appreciate to the full the merit of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
