RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY RE-
PUBLlCANS AT FARGO TAKE A
PATRIOTIC STAND ON ALL IS
SuEs-McKlNLEY INDORSED.
Fargo, May lS.-The resolutions
adopted by the delegates to the state
convention are as follows:
The republicans of North Dakota, in
convention assembled, congratulate
the country upon the prosperity conse-
quent upon three years of republican
rule, and pledge ourselves anew to the
principles of the republican party.
We recommend and endorse the wise
Judgment, broad craftsmanship and
enlightened patriotism of our presi-
dent, William Mckinley, and instruct
the delegates elected by this
ton to cast their votes in national con
vention for his denomination.
We reaffirm that the pledge given in
1898 that the gold standard shall be
given the vitality Of public law, has
been fulfilled by the act of March II,
1900, which maintains the parity of
all Il forms of money, whether of
paper, silver or gold, and the public
credit has thereby been raised higher
than ever before under any admins
tration of any party, and higher than
that of any other nation, and that this
legislation together with the Ienact-
ment of a tariff law based on sound
republican principles, has restored O IL
tidence both to the producer and con-
sumner and greatly increased the vol
M of trade.
We assert that the republican party
now stands. as it has always stood, for
money laws that benefit all the people
alike, the borrower as we'll as the lend
er, the laborer as we'll as the employer,
II such as eQualiZe and lower the
rates of interest.
We favor legislation that will pro-
mote elasticity in the currency for the
benefit of the producer, the laborer,
the farmer, the manufacturer and for
the general ommerc of our people.
We heartily approve and endorse
the wise and patriotic curse Of our
senators and representatives in con-
gress.
We extend to the volunteers from
the state, who recently enlisted in the
war with Spain and in suppressing the
inSurrection of the Philippines. our
heartfelt thanks for their gallant and
patriotic service.
We recognize the evil of unlimited
aggregation of capita. in trusts and
monopolistic corporations. and urge
congress to take such action as will
most effectually suppress such evil.
We favor the extension OF u COM
MERGE into China and the far east. to
further the Introduction and estab-
lishment of a market for our surplus
grain, cattle and other products; and
we favor the retention by the United
States Of every foot of territory over
which the stars and stripes now float.
A delegation from the western part
of the state called attention to the
fact that the resolutions committee
had failed to mention in the report the
free homestead bill, and he asked that
a resolution expressing the approval
of the convention for the action of
congress in that direction be attached.
This wa carried unanimously.

THE PHILIPPINES,
Senator McCumber Makes a Speech in
the Senate Advocating the Reten-
tion of Philippines.
Patriotic Stand of the Junior Senator
from North Dakota, Against Re-
marks of Tillman.

Washington. May Ex-senator Nc
Cumber addressed the senate on the
Philippine question. He said it was
our commercial, financial and naval in
terest to retain the islands. Having
incidentally remarked that he thought
all the people of the union were happy
to be under n flag and one govern
ment, Senator Tillman interrupted the
speaker to say that not 10 per cent,
not > per rem he might say, of the
white people of the south were glad
that the confederacy were defeated, or
what they fought for had been re-
Jected. Senator McCumbar. replying,
said he thought 80 per cent of the peo-
pie of the United States We're glad to-
day that they were Americans and
We're living under the stars and stripes.
Senator Butler, On. CO. interrupted to
say that he could not corroDorate the
statement Of Mr.. Tillman.
A minute later when Mr.. Gallery
rose to make an inquiry, Mr.. Walcott
asked him if he shared in the opinion
that 30 per cent of the south white
people regretted now that the rebellion
failed, and that the union remained
undivided.
Il do not" replied Mr.. Caffery.
MI. McCumber, in concluding his re-
marks, expressed his faith that the
American people would wisely, prac-
tlcally and justly meet new problems
presented to them, and said he was
ready to go before the people in the
approaching campaign on that propo-
sition.

It is not enough to go into the sheep

No two sheep look alike. Their faces

in the Bible to calling sheep by name
is no eXaggeration. Several winters

more intelligence than most people

SAVING THE RANGES.
Successful Cultivation of Alfalfa ON
the Plains.

Successful Cultivation of Alfalfa ON
the Plains.
Promising experiments are being
conducted in Texas under the direction
of the national department Of agricul-
ture in an effort to find a way Of re-
storing the cattle ranges almost de-
stroyed by o~verstocking, says the New
York Evening Post. When the land
upon which the experiments have been
conducted was shown to a committee
Of experienced stockmen in March,
1898, they decided that it would re-
quire IL acres of it to support a COW
through the season and expressed some
doubt as to whether the yield of grass
would be sufficient for that, and this
season the agent in charge has been
p%asturing cattle on this land Mt the
rate of II head for every eight acres.
There is now an unbroken turf over
the entire land and a fine carpet of
grass. Before the experiments were
commenced one-half Of the land was
devoid of vegetation and almost as
hard and barren as a pavement. Sew
eral Of the experiments with the intro
duction of foreign grasses and foreign
plants have proved successful. Chief
among these is the experiment with
the "oasis" alfalfa. This is an alfalfa
that was found growing without irri-
CATION on the high plains Of India. The
agricultural department secured one
pint Of seed and sem them to the agent
for trial. This alfalfa grew rapidly
and reached a height Of some two feet.
In July the drought set in, and by
Sept. l the agent had reported to
Washington that this alfalfa was all
dead, and to every appearance it was.
On Oct. 20 the rains came. Green
shoots started from the roots, and
from that date alfalfa eight inches tall
was cut.

u. S. COURT.

Fargo, May 1S.-The mar Walter,
charged with embezzling the funds of
the New Salem p%ostoftice, has been
brought down from Grand Forks and
is now in the custody of Marshal Hag-
CART. 1t is expected that he will plead
guilty.
The petit jurors, who are not en-
gagged, have been excused by Judge
Amidon until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, when it is expected the trial
OF prisoners will begin.
The grand jury made its final report
this afternoon when the foreman
handed to Judge Amidon a batch Of
fourteen indictments. There being
no other business the jury was finally
dismissed with the usual thanks from
the judge.
Deputy Marshal Davis reached Far
go last night from the Standing Rock
agency, having under arrest George
Shot-at-Close, Alfred Walker, Frank
Blackhawk, David Redstone and Chas.
Thompson. They, with Richard Doub-
lerider, who is in Jail here, were in
dicted by the federal grand jury on
the charge Of stealing horses from the
reservation. The men r all full
blood Indians ana it is alleged have
followed the work of relieving the ma
tives of their horses for some time.
The brands on the animals would be
changed and the horses taken to South
Dakota to market. In one bunch it is
claimed they took sixty horses, twenty
of which were recovered before the
market was reached.
Blackhawk was connected with the
Spicer killing in Emmons county sew
eral years ago, and he escaped hang
ing by a narrow margin. They will
be arraigned at once.

TELL THE CENSUS A
IF YOU INTEND TO BE AWAY
FROM HOME WHEN THE CENSUS
is TAKEN

IT YOU III Be AVA
FROM HOME WHEN THE CENSUS
is TAKEN.
The count of the people in the United
States will begin in all parts of the
country June l, and end in the cities
two weeks later and in the rest of the
country before the close of the month.
The people are to be counted at their
places or residence, but as many per-
sons and families will be away from
their homes during June there is some
danger that such persons will not be
counted. If they are not counted, the
locality in which they live will be mis-
represented to that extent, and in some
cases this Misrepresentation may be
enough to affect the representation in
congress of the state from which they
come. Local pride and state pride,
therefore, should influence all such alb
sentees to take reasonable precautions
against being omitted from enumera-
ton in their places of residence. Such
omissions are most likely to occur in
he large cities where families close
their homes and go elsewhere for the
summer. The occurrence of the
Paris exposition this year is likely to
increase the number absent from the
country.
In all cases of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested by
the census office to communicate with
the supervisor of the district in which
he lives. He is also requested to
leave information regarding his an
swers to the questions which are to
be asked with some responsible neigh
Dor who will agree to see that it
reaches the enumerator on his rounds.
Such information might better be left
as a memorandum in writing, as in
that case it is less likely to be over
looked. The questions to which n
swers are desired apply primarily to
the population, but also to all farms
and manufacturing establishments.
They are being published from time
to time in the press of the country.
BY taking this trouble the absent
citizens will do justice to his locality
and his state, and materially aid the
census office in the performance of it's
duties. The supervisor of this state
is Hon. A. H. Laughlin and he should
be addressed at Lisbon.

THINK OF HIS CHANCES.
Washington, May 1S.-It is agreed
among northwestern members here
that General Washburn of Minnesota
would make excellent vice presidential
timber, and they are ready to support
him, but it is known that the placing
of the vice presidency will be a mat
ter of political %expediency and if it is
thought best to place it elsewhere than
the northwest, Washburn's friends
will be unable to land the nomination
for him. On the other hand, if under
the existing conditions it is believed
the northwest should have the vice
presidency, Washburn is likely to be
the man.
