Says the Mandan Times: Some of
the Minnesota papers are saying hard
things because it is rumored that Alex
Mckenzie will go to St. Paul and try
to defeat Senator Nelson for re-elec-
ton. They say Mckenzie has no
business to interfere with Minnesota
politics. We might ask in return
what business Nelson had to interfere
in North Dakota politics as he did
during the campaign by ostentatiously
refusing to speak in Grand Forks on
the ground that Senator Hansbrough
had done something in the senate that
Nelson did not like and because Alex
Mckenzie was national committee
man.

BRYAN ON HIS DEFEAT.

In an article entitled THE Elec-
ton of 1900" in the December. North
American Review. Mr.. Bryan at
tempts to give reasons for his de-
feat. says the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. One is the alleged use Of
money. AS the popular plurality is
over 100000. the largest on record,
the so-called colonization and pur-
chase of votes" must have been con-
Quoted on a colossal scale. A ma
iOr;cy Of 49, electoral votes would look
like foolish prodigality in buying.
Shifting the point Of view. Mr.. Bryan
remarks that the fear of a change is
merely a political expression of the
conservatism which, to a greater or
less extent. exists in every person.
1t is certainly true that a majority of
til" American people prefer existing
prosperity to an uncertain chase after
something better. Common sense
would be a better name than cOrser-
vatism for this feeling. Every time
a practical man ran against the por-
tentous phrase. "Void if Bryan is
elected" he realized the attitude that
had been taken by men of the coolest
business judgment, and that even a
grain OF, doubt can disturb the great
currents of national trade.
Mr.. Bryan denies that the republic
can party has had anything to do with
prosperous conditions. But from the
day of the election there was a great
upward bound in the markets. The
sweeping nature Of the defeat was re-
Elected in an unexpected degree Of gen.
eral activity, and the wave is still
mounting and spreading. The boom
instantly followed a great republican
victory, and it is vain to dispute it's
cause. 1t was not due to good crops
or the increased production of gold,
but to the assurance of continued re-
OF the government. and a most en-
phatic reassertion Of the principle
that an American dollar must be lie
equivalent of 100 cents everywhere
throughout the world. Mr.. Bryan in
sists that the election of 1900 was not
decisive on the money question. A
popular plurality of GOO,OO0 in 1896
and Of 100000 in 1900 will convince
nearly everybody else that the United
States will never go into the business
of money debasement.

THE OFFICIAL FIGURES,

The official vote for the several can
didates for state Office shows the re-
publican majorities for state officers
to have been larger than expected.
Several of the republican candidates
have over $4,000 majority and J.. M.
Devine for state superintendent over
tops all in the running with a major
ity of over $4,000. The women of the
state voted for this office and the Off
ella totals show that about 10000
women awaited themselves of the priv
ileges Of the ballot. Carlblom for
state auditor. Porter for secretary of
state, Mcmillan for treasurer and
Bartlett for lieutenant governor over
run the fourteen thousand mark and
all of the other candidates for offices
nave majorities of over $4,000 except
White and Comstock. Considering
the fact that the f%usionists bent every
effort to the getting of votes for WHIP
perman, practically to the ignoring Of
the other candidates on the fusion
ticket, the majority of North Dakota'S
soldier candidate for governor, Major
Frank White, is exceptionally latter-
ing. Before the election the fusion
lists claimed the race for governor
would be close but the figures show
that Wipperman was never in the
race. Hildreth was also overwhelm-
ingly repudiated by the people of the
state. The majority for Comstock is
1873. The fight made on him by the
prohibitionists and all of the elements
in the state that could be arrayed
against him did not, as the result
shows, ever put him at all close to the
danger line.
The prohibitionists, social demo-
Gratis and peoples tickets did not cut
much figure in the election. In every
county there were a few voters who
chose to register their votes for these
organizations and their candidates, re-
CARELESS of the fact that they were not
in the race, but the majority of the
voters chose to register their ballots
where it was believed they would have
some weight in the result.
Both constitutional amendments
carried by good majorities but a pecu-
liar fact is the large number of votes
registered against both propositions.
While some logical reasons might be
advanced against a state board of par-
dons there is probably no sane person
in the state who would argue against
an amendment whose sole object is to
place more property-and corporation
property at that-on the tax rolls. The
vote against this amendment is prob
ably from an element Of the voting
population of the state which is agln'

SINKING SHIPS.
They Don't Linger In M%Idocean, but
Go to the Bottom.

TO 10 the Bottom.
What becomes Of the ships that sink
at sea? Do they go all the way to the
bottom or do they meet somewhere un-
der h surface Il certain pressure that
buoys them up and holds them in euui-
librium? Somebody, we forget who it
is. has given rein to his grewsomc fan
cy and pictured all the ships that have
been lost in midocean as wandering
about like so many ghosts half way be-
tween the surface and the bottom.
There is no foundation whatever for
such a notion. though many persons
have it. Amy object that will sink be
meath the surface Of the sea will go all
the way to the bottom. The pressure
encountered on the way down, which is
simply enormous in the deeper parts.
has nothing to do with the objects
sinking. for It is eXerted on the object
as well as on the water, thus equalizing
the conditions.
The a why the object sinks to the
bottom is that water is not compressi-
BILE; at least it is so little so that it's den
sity at the bottom of the sea is only a tri-
fe greater than it is at the surface. Sci.
entists tell us that the water at the bot
tom is just about as much denser than
the water at the surface as sea water
Is denser than fresh water.
This slight difference in density,
therefore, does not and cannot stop the
downward course Of a sinking ship or
any object that is heavy enough to
sink rapidly beneath the surface. Pres
sure, as we have said, is not a factor
In the case at all.-Chicago Record.

A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
The Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter md His First Grizzly.

The Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grizzly.
In Sketches Of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert S. Evans tells an
amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter wls met his first grizzly bear
in procession. The incident occurred
in the woods hear the site Of the pres
ent town OF Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of q tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke, it was neal
sunset, and be sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating II return to his hotel
several miles distant.
Just then a rustling and cracking
noise from a clump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked a grizzly bear, a monarch
Of his kind. He yawned, licked his
jaws and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat, but evident
~ was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 20 PAGES when a female bear fol.
lowed him, and an instant later u third
grizzly followed her at a slow, sham
oAAAS lrtSS.
The hunter sat s%pellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
80 yards. Then, scarcely realizing
what he did. he sprang to his feet and
uttered a frenzied yell-yell upon yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned
sharply about. knocked the female
down, rolled owe her, gathered himself
up and bolted like 40 carloads of
rock going down a Shoot" straight for
the chaparral again. the other two
bears close at his heels and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed ut
top speed for the hotel. leaving hat and
gun behind. The truth Of his wild and
startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks of differ
ent sizes found in the marshy ground
near by. But the three bears had gone
off beyond pursuit.

The Pembina Pioneer Express
thinks Mckenzie would have as much
right to enter the lists in Minnesota
against Nelson as Nelson had to assail
the republican party in North Dakota
last fall and goes on to say: "The
latter (Mckenzie) may be able to make
Nelson some trouble, and if so, he
somewhat deserves it, as it seems to
us he went out of his way in the re-
cent campaign, in publicly trying to
do what he could to give this state to
the democrats. Even granting all as
true that he said about Mckenzie and
H%ausbrough, neither of them were
candidates for office at that time, while
a good many republicans who know
nothing Of Alaska were candidates.
And there are a whole lot of republic
ans in this state who care but little
about either Mckenzie or Hansbrough,
who would like to see Nelson have
enough trouble, to teach him a little
more common political sense.

We learn in an indirect way that
Editor futile is going to Yurrup again.
Not until after the legislature, of
course, since it wouldn't do to leave
tnat august body without it's mentor
and guardian. Now that Mckinley
is elected, however, the country will
be able to struggle along someway for
a few months without Editor futile.
We are glad in our humble way that
Editor Tut.le is going back to Yurrup,
if only for a little while. His liver
IS bad and some things have happened
in the country that do not altogether
please him. He infers in the last
issue of the Pioneer that somebody
has been listening to his conversation
and diverted it to the edification of
the public without paying him the
royalty to which he is accustomed and
which some of his evil-minded critics
are prone to term a "rake-off." Pos
sibly a sight of the Appian Way, the
Colosseum. and the Giant Wiener
wurst OF Bologna, and a glimpse of
Wales may soothe his perturbed spirit
and reconcile him again to the crude
and coarse common people who live
in the United States-people who eat
plain food and perspire. Editor futile
does not perspire. Nothing gets away
from him, so we UNDERSTANDINGS even
