COUNTY SEAT

ht "Abh 10 AUbsACi w bilC
in the squib now going the rounds
that movement is quietly on foot to
remove the county seat of Lincoln
from Phoebe. OF course Phoebe is
dead in business way, but that is
not permanent, and the town is not
so far removed from the center of
population as some suppose.
The people of Deerlodge find it as
easy to come here as to land at some
point in Meadow Valley Wash, while
Delamar is too far removed from the
other northern sections to ask that
the county seat be situated there.
Profting by past experiences in
the way of enormous expense atten-
ding every undertaking of public
nature, the average taxpayer will be
disposed to let the matter rest for
time until the expected changes in
the way of rail communication give
permanency to our county different
to any which it has yet enjoyed, and
indicate point at which the seat of
government may be located, which
will be at once lasting and easy of
access from all quarters of the coun-
ty.
Unless all present signs fail how
ever the population of the northern
part of the county will be such by
the time this question is presented
next fall, if presented at all, as to
defeat any change that may be pro-
posed, for the outlook in a mining
way in several of the outside dis
tricts has not been as good in many
years.
The subject is of interest however
and it may not be amiss to state the
provisions of law under which the
seat of government of county may
be changed from one place to an
other.
A petition must be signed by three
ffths Of the qualified electors OF the
county, each signer being a taxpayer
as appears by the last assessment
roll. A petition is necessary from
each voting precinct and the Regis
try Agent of each precinct is requir-
red to attach certificate to the
petition showing that each person
sgining is qualified elector, as
shown by the registry books.
The petition is to be filed with
the Board of County Commissioners
are required within go days
thereafter to cause an election to be
held throughout the county, of which
election at least 80 days notice shall
be given.
The general election laws of the
state apply to such elections and
the town receiving majority of all
the votes cast shall be declared the
county seat, provided that if no
place receive a majority of all votes
cast another election shall be held
within twenty days, of which cleo
ton at least ten days notice shall be
given. At any second election the
balloting is confined to the two places
which received the highest number
of votes at the first election.
While such an election may be
held at any time, it may also be held
on a regular election day. Within
ten days after election the Board of
Commissioners are to canvass the
vote and proclaim the result through
out the county, and within twenty
days thereafter all officials required
to keep their offices at the county
seat are required to move their books
papers and general archives TO the
new seat of government, under pen
atty of twenty dollars for each days
delay,

Postage Stamps In Book Form


The United States Postal author
tiles are perfecting a plan to sell
postage stamps in book form, and it
is believed that soon two cent stamps
will be offered i'll books containing
II stamps at 25 cents book The
book will be of size convenient to
slip into the vest pocket, with wax
paper between the stamps, bound in
light servicable covers with the divis-
ion of mail matter into classes, rates
of postage and other information
printed on the outside. Tle one
cent charge for the wax paper and
binding will net the government a
profit OF $6 on each $1,000 worth sold
If one eighth of the two cent stamps
used are sold in BOOK form the net
profit to the Government would be
not less than $3.50, 600 annually.

ELI PERKINS ON POLITICS.

Eli Perkins, en- route to Hillsboro to
lecture, was taken in tow by a reporter
at Fargo, and the following interview
resulted. When Eli was asked how
Idaho, whence he had just come, would
g. at the next election:
Idaho did once go for free silver,
but she realizes what a risk she ran.
have lost her six million dollars worth
$1,000 900 worth of silver. So she
would have thrown away her sheep
worth six millions for a doubtful bonus
on one million dollars worth of silver.
So Idaho will go overwhelmingly for
Mckinley this year."
How about Montana, Wyoming,
Utah and California;"
We'll, they are all sheep states and
will look after their sheep and not look
after the rich silver mine owners"
Are sheep increasingly
Eyes, very fast. Lambs are worth
So and wool is worth II cents and the
farmers are getting rich in California,
Colorado, Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana and Dakota. Everybody is
at work, wages have been increased
and everybody are eating. Laboring
men are eating beefsteak three times
a day and hogs, cattle, butter and eggs
are up and the boys have the money to
pay for them. I saw a poster in Far
go today calling for fifty men a day to
go to Montana to work"
Speaking Of Mckinley, he put that
low tariff against Puerto Rico rice and
tobacco as a precedent to the Manila
tariff, when she comes in. Puerto
Rico is to pay half the tariff that Cuba
does. She will get a cent and a half
a pound more for her sugar and p
cents a pound more for her fine tobac-
co than Cuba does. So Puerto Rico
is satisfied and Cuba will be begging
to come in.
Now in the Philippines" continued
Eli, there are S,OOO,OOO people work.
ing for eight cents a day making rice,
sugar, jute and tobacco. Mckinley
will not give them free trade and break
up the hemp raisers of Dakota and the
tobacco raisers of Kentucky, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania and Connecti-
cut. But he will give them a lower
tariff than China and Cuba pay.
Wages" said Eli, "are going up in
Japan, Manila and Puerto Rico. When
Puerto Rico and Manila wages get as
high as American wages then they
will have free trade. We give reci-
procity or free trade to South American
states where their wages are as high
as ours.
mckinley will look after the wages
Of our worAlng men," said Eli. "He
will make a republican state Of Manila
and she will have big wages, utter lib
erty like Dakota and forty-eight re-
publican states behind her. 1t would
not be doing unto others to let her &C
back into anarchy and barbarism."

During the discussion of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill in the house
Congressman spalding took occasion
In advocating an appropriation for ed
ucational purposes to make these re-
marks:
II have the honor to attempt to rep
resent a constituency numbering in
the vicinity of 100000 people, and I
%apprehend about al large a constitu-
ency as any member from a district
represents on the floor Of this house.
my people occupy a vast empire, $50
miles in extent, and are probably more
exclusively agricultural in their pur-
suits than the people of any district in
the republic. 1t is a prairie land,
beautiful and fruitful as any that greets
the rays of the morning sum-. Its peo-
pie, coming not only from every state
in the union, but from Scandinavia,

In the Richland county convention
Senator McCumber came in for the
following words Of Communications:
We heartily approve of the action of
the Hon. P. J. McCumber in his short
but brilliant career in the United
States senate. We note with satisfac-
ton the passage of his bill providing
for the appointment of a commission
to investigate the trade relations of
China and Japan, with a view to ex-
tending our commerce to those coun-
tries, and opening a new market for
the products of the farm.
We heartily approve of his efforts to
secure the opening of the Turtle Noun
tain reservation, thereby making free
homes for a large number of people.
We also commend his action in the
Quay case in voting to sustain an es-
tablished precedent.

vention resolved for two things only

The following from the Chicago Rec
ord may interest prospective skunk
farmers:
"The officials of the department of
agriculture are considerably annoyed
by the continual temperance Of fake
story about millions of dollars that are
being made in skunk farming in differ
ent parts of the country. The pub
lished articles to have been
written upon information gathered at
the department, and people in every
part of the country are writing daily
for detailed information. Secretary
Wilson and all of his subordinates re-
pudiate the story. They say they do
not know of anybody that ever made
any money raising skunks, but have
heard directly from several enterpris-
ing individuals who have lost consid-
cradle amounts in such experiments"

The Statesman, published by E. E.
Cowell, at Balfour, the new town up
in McHenry county, is one of the larg-
est and most prosperous looking papers
in the state-and it's only five weeks
old. The Statesman is not slow to
claim its rights. 1t says that the gov
eminent statutes govern the publica-
ton of final proof notices and that it
wants the notices for land near Bal
four and notices in the territory of the
Statesman appearing in other papers
will be enjoined in the U. S. courts.

The wisdom OF returning good men
to congress is. evident from the inter-
view of Congressman Spalding who
says that now he sees where he might
have gotten more for the state had he
been on to the ropes, something that
comes only with experience. Know
ing how is one of the main things, and
Congressman Spalding is learning how
rapidly. For a new man he has a very
creditable record.

From the reports sent out from diff
ferent persons in the Fifth district it
is plainly apparent that Judge Glas-
pell is going to win hands down and
that he has absolutely no chance at all
for denomination. The situation is
growing clearer and more complicated
all the time, and it is easily seen that
the judge will be elected by a large ma
jority and defeated ANONYMOUSLY.
This covers about all the ground so far
as we have seen.

The Fargo Forum says: Comrade
Winchester, who has been Judge of the
Sixth judicial district since statehood
has again been renominated by the
republicans over on the slope. The
Judge was a gallant cavalryman in the
wal Of 81 to 'G5-and his endorsement
and reimbursement for the high posi-
ton he has so long held-evidences he
is the man-the people want. Per-
sonally Judge Winchester is one Of the
most genial of comrades and a gener-
GUS gentleman:

BRYAN's HOPE FADING.

The action of the Cincinnati branch
of the populists destroys instantly and
completely the only hope which even
the obtusest of Bryan's dupes ever had
OF his election this year, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The populists,
at their national convention in St.
Louis in 1896, split on vice president,
three-quarters of them declaring for
thomas E. Watson as against Arthur
Sewell, the running mate for Bryan
who had been selected by the Chicago
convention two weeks earlier. But
even the Watson men supported
Bryan. The only division which was
in the populist party in 1896 was on the
vice president. The middle-of-the-
road men shouted as loudly for Bryan
as did the most ardent of the fusion
list section of their party. They sup
ported him heartily at the polls. 1t
is safe to say that of the 6,5OO,OOO votes
given to Bryan four years, ago, 2,OOO,-
600 were cast by populists. In 1900
the populist party is split on president.
1t is split in the middle. At least half
of the populists, probably more than
half, were represented in the conven-
ton which has just met at Cincinnati,
and which rejected Bryan and nomin-
ated Barker.
In no western state except Missouri
has Bryan ever had any political
standing except that which the popu-
list party gave him. Outside of Mis-
souri, the democratic party standing
alone would be in a hopeless minority
throughout the west. Fully half of
the populists will be against Bryan
this year. The men who rejected Bryan
yesterday at the Cincinnati conven-
ton represented an element of the
populist party who prefer President
Mckinley to Bryan if their choice was
restricted to these two. They would
vote for any candidate the republicans
would put up in preference to the man
they supported in 1896, and who, they
declared, was false to his promises to
the %populist leaders and betrayed the
populist cause. These populists have
a ticket of their own, which they will
support with enthusiasm. Bryan was
nominated in the Sioux Falls owen
ton by reclamation. Possibly he will
be the unanimous choice of the con-
vention in Kansas City, for the infatu-
alton of his democratic dupes will
hardly be enlightened even by the death
blow which has been dealt to his
chances by the populists in Cincinnati.
But he can carry no state in the west
outside of Missouri, except possibly
Colorado and Nevada, and, of course,
he will recover no state in the middle
west OF in the east which went against
him four years ago. The majority in
the electoral college will be larger
against Bryan in 1900 than it was in
1896.

Some correspondent is doing some
good booming for Sargent county, and
in a recent communication there is the
following as a sample of what has
been done in the farming line:
when I got located on my claim,
thirteen years ago, l had just $50 in
cash. I have devoted my energies to
diversified farming and now have 4SO
acres of land, f%fty-eight head Of cattle,
ten horses and colts, 1000 bushels of
wheat, 1,5OO bushels of feed grains,
and a good equipment of farming ma
chinery, and I do not W a dollar to
anybody. 1t is my opinion that there
are few more favored localities than
Sargent county. If I were to sell out
l would not know where to 60 to better
my condition. We want farmers who
are frugal and who are not afraid to
work. Such can prosper here"
