The silver Republican Candidate.


In turning a cold shoulder to the Silver
Republicans and inviting them to defend the
Declaration Of Independence and shout FOR
his new paramount issues. Mr.. BRYAN Is
taking a big risk. Not only is he sacrificing
old supporters in the hope of winning the
Iaodiceans of the East, but he is swapping
votes for rainbows. Silver is the counter
sign in his many-named army. 1t has given
the enthusiasm and the passion Of his pre-
vious campaigning. 1t is the master spirit
Of almost all his speeches until within a few
weeks. 1t has earnest and solid support
among Democratic Popullsts and Silver Re-
publicans. 1t touches every mans pocket.
II stirs and interests everybody.
Mr., BRYAN's mania for silver Is less acute
than his mania for the Presidency. He has
been persuaded or has persuaded himself
that the Gold Democrats can be bamboozled
with Trusts and imperialism. and that there
are many Republicans who are willing to
follow him so long as he makes those issues
protuberant and skates away from silver.
So he has come to New York, and will come
again, to thunder against Trusts. that Is,
CORPORATIONS, in the greatest business State;
and against imperialism. that Is. expansion,
In the greatest commercial State. While he
Is toying with imaginary issues In the fruit
less hope Of carrying the East. he Is dis
heartening his trustiest followers In the
West by his silence or his unfaithfulness TO
the one issue which made him.
II used to be thought that Mr.. BRYAN was
sincere. an honest fanatic. The theory will
not wash. Mr.. BRYAN Of the fall Of 1900 Is
only a common oficeseeker. whose speeches
are adapted to the latitude.

THE HEART is KIND.

How gentler, nobler than the mind
The heart is! Stings that rankle yet
In Memory, the hurts unkind
The heart would heal and would for
get.
The stings that in the memory live,
That Recollection nurses yet,
The heart, forgetting, would forgive,
The heart, forgiving, would forget!
And yet how quick another while
Our tickle memories to forget
The blessings breaking in a smile
The grateful heart would cherish
yet.
Flow nobler, kindlier than the mind
The heart is, that would cherish yet
The glory Of the blessing kind
And every unkind thing forget!
Would were our memories like our
hearts
To cherish every kindness yet,
And where struck the unkindly darts
Quick heal the singing, and forget!

'MACKEY IS SMOOTH.
Oily Judge Mackey, at One Time No,
torious in Bismarck, Has Not
Lost His Cunning. :
Another of His Schemes, Showing tina,
He is Still an Adept in His Wiles
and Arts,

Inc following from the Washington
Star will be of interest in Bismarck
which was at time the scene of one
of Judge Mackey's escapades. The
Star says:
When the cas- of Mrs. Katherine S.
Mackey, against whom lunacy proceed
ings have been instituted, was called
Q hearing yesterday before Justice
C%labaugh, the subject of the inquisi-
ton could not be found. Mrs. Mackey
is the young wife of aged Judge Thorn
as j. Mackey, formerly of South Car
DINA, who was charged with bigamy
in West Virginia about two years &
Mackey, who is about seventy years
OF age, was married about two years
ago to Katherine S. Pendleton, of
Charlestown, w. Va, a young and
comely woman. Sensational develop
ments followed the marriage. Mackey
it was discovered had been married
twice before, and his second wife was
residing in New York at the time of
his marriage in West Virginia. When
his third wife's parents learned of that
fact Maclxey was charged with bigamy
but the matter was judiciously settled,
WlluouC Il PROSECUTION
For about two years Mackey and his
young wife have been living in Wash
ington. Several weeks ago they sep
arated, and Mrs. Mackey went to board
at a house on First street. From the
tone of the letters which she wrote
home her father. George A. P%endleton,
became convinced that his daughters
mind was becoming unbalanced, and
upon arriving in Washington he found
her in a serious condition. He then
instituted proceedings to have her
committed to st. Elizabeth's asylum
for treatment.
Mr.. Pendleton is convinced that the
constant worry his daughter has been
subjected to since her marriage is re.
sponsible for her condition, and he de-
sires to take her to his home when she
shall have recovered.
Mackey, however, learned of the
proceedings against his wife, and took
steps to prevent the accomplishment
of his father-in-law's design. It is
said that, Notwithstanding the differ
ences between the couple, Mackey still
continues to exercise a powerful infu.
ence over his wife. and that she will al
all times do his bidding. Several
times she has started home, at the
earnest request o. her parents, but
Mackey has always persuaded her al
the last moment to remain. So fa]
as the authorities could learn yester.
day, Mackey went to his wife's board.
ing house and induced her to leave
with him, and their whereabouts arr
unknown at present.
Yesterday when the case was calico
and Mrs. Mackey could not be found
Mr.. A. Leftwich, who appears in thu
case as counsel for me district, asked
Justice Clabaugh for an indefinite post
ponement until Mrs. Mackey can b,
found.

Regarding the strike talk on the Great
Northern, a dispatch from Larimore says:
The reported strike on the Montana Gen.
trail has created very little excitement
here, the end of the Dakota and North
ern divisions of the Great Northern. In
vestigation among trainmen shows them
to be %reticent about talking, although
some of them express the opinion that
the strike may become general if the
trainmen at connecting points should
refuse to handle Montana Central cars
From what little can be learned from
the trainmen here, there seems to be a
difference of opinion regarding the Mon
tana strike. Some s%ympathize with the
strikers, while others are against the
strike. There is, however, a feeling OF
unrest, and developments are being
watched with much interest.

AS Jealous Of each stalk and stem
AS though 'twere child of his; ah, me,
One morning he goes down to see,
And dreams how sumptuous be his
fare,
To find but morning glories there!
But not discouraged yet he gropes
About and builds his failing hopes
Upon a fine and stately plant,
That threatens, tall and elegant,
To be a vegetable of price,
He paris-greens the bugs and lice,
And guards it many a weary hour
To see it prove a scrub sunflower.
The melancholy days have come
To find his garden on the bum,
He stands with magnifying glass
And strives to find the garden sass,
He dreamed about, but only sees
The skeletons of worms and fleas
And bugs, that came to dine but died,
His garden such a blasted snide!
He feels regrets keen, poignant pricks
And goes behind the barn and kicks
Himself; and knows he could have
bought
For fifteen cents more than he got
From his whole garden; that's his last
Experience with garden sass
He says. and yet the coming spring
He goeSs and does the self same thing

DIVORCE CASES.
Supreme Court Hands Down Decisio n
in Two Divorce Cases Appealed
for Hearing.
Case of Mahnken VS.. Mahrkcn Az
hrmed, and That Gardner VS..
Gardner Set Aside.

The supreme our has handed
down a decision in the divorce case of
Mahnken VS.. Mahnken from Cass
county affirming the decision OF the
lower court and refusing to grant the
decree asked to either party. The
parties to the case are well known res
idents of Fargo. Mrs. Mahnken, who
sued for the divorce. is 8 daughter of
Mayer Johnson, and the defendant,
Chas. j. Mahnken, is the former city
attorney. Mrs. Mahnken sued for a
divorce on the grounds Of extreme
cruelty and the case was tried before
Judge Lauder, who denied the decree,
holding that the extreme cruelty COM
planned of had not been established.
The case was then appealed to the SUI
preme court which atiirms the decision
Of Judge Lauder. holding as he did
that the evidence in the case is INSULT
cient to establish the grounds for a
divorce.
The court has also handed down an
other decision, setting aside a divorce
granted by the district court of Grand
FORKS county to j. A. Gardner, a
printer and linotype operator. from his
wife. Gardner was an employee of
ut GIanu fOIkS anu
worked for a time on the Tribune in
the fall OF 1898. He secured Il divorce
on the ground of desertion. and the
upper court sets the decree aside. 1t
is reported Gardner has remarked
since the divorce was granted.
ln-the syllabus Of the opinion in the
Gardner case, the supreme court says:
In actions for a divorce where de-
PENDANTS answer sets out causes of ac-
ton for a divorce against the plaintiff
in re~crimination and as a defense to
plaintiffs causes of action. it is COM
petent for the plaintiff to show at the
trial that the causes of action pleaded
in the answer have been condoned by
the defendant. It is likewise compe-
tent for the defendant to show that
the defendant, the forgiving party. has
not since the conformation been treated
with conjugal kindness by the plain
tiff. If this fact is made to appear
the conformation is Intellectual and the
recrimination alleged by answer, may
despite the conformation, be shown to
defeat plaintiffs action.

THE GARDNER CASE.
Supreme Court Sets Aside Another of
the Numerous Divorces Granted
in the State.
Some of the Details of the Case, and
Why the Court Reverses the De-
cision of the Lower.

The decision of the supreme court in
the Gardner divorce case, handed down
yesterday, goes to show again that few of
the divorces granted to non-residents of
the state prior to their application for
divorce under the old three months law,
will stand the test of the supreme court.
The case in question is a rather salacious
one in some of it's details. Gardner and
his wife we're residents of st. Paul and
were married in 1889. They have one
child. The, plaintiff, j. A. Gardner
soughtd divorce on the groundo of construct
i've desertion and extreme cruelty, alleg-
ing that there were so many chickering's
and quarrels on the part of his wife that
he was forced to leave his nome for peace
of mind. The wife, in recrimination, put
in testimony to the effect that her hus-
had been unfaithfu], and gave names of
women with whom such intidelity had
been carried on. Letters were also intro
duced in evidence from Gardner to his,
wife, the tenor of which was that he
would only be happy with another woman
and that it was useless for him to try to
be happy with his wife. These letters
acted against the plaintiff in the case,
since the court took the view hat they
went to prove the recriminating allegation
of the wife. Gardner claimed that he
wrote them to give the wife grounds to
maintain an action for a divorce, but the
supreme court does not take this view.
1t also appears in evidence, which the
supreme court holds to be s~ubstantiated
that Gardner and another woman than
his wife registered at hotels in Great
Falls, Helena and Minneapolis as man and
wife. While the court says it is argued
in che case that it would better for So
ciety if the couple could be divorced, yet
it says that courts cannot decidequesti
of this character upon considerations of
individual welfare or the betterment of
society but upon the law, and that under
the circumstances in the case the plaintiff
was not entitled to a divorce. Even if
the wife had condoned the otfenses she
alleged against her husband, as appeared
in testimony, the court held that the
conformation was Intellectual, since the
wife had not afterward been treated with
the conjugal kindness that would have
made the conformation effectual. Judge
Wallin wrote the opinion in the case and
it deals with some features of the case
in vigorous and decided language. The
lower court is ordered to set aside the
divorce and the defendant is allowed
costs of the action in both courts.
