Bottineau News: Editor Win
ship says the state papers are &C
cusing him of criticising Senator
Hansbrough's course and denies
fatty that such is his purpose. If
it is not criticism there is one
thing certain, it cannot be termed
by any other dignifed name. AS
has been said before, Hansbrough
may have made mistakes, but none
Of them have affected the govern
ment. Did the stand he took on
the money question in years past
work the least injury to the U. S.
credit? Did he ever cast a vote
for free silver in the senate or in
congress at all? Have not hun
dreds of other good Republicans
done it? Has not Hansbrough
worked increasingly for the good of
North Dakota? Then why does
Winship continue his prattle about
his position on money, had years
ago and long since abandoned. It
is not "criticism" we will admit,
but rather noisy babble about a
matter that really interests only
Senator Hansbrough personally
and he keeps it up for no other
purpose than to vent his personal
spite and with the hope of work
ing up a sentiment in his own
favor against a man whose pop
ularity is growing because of his
attention to business and his at
tempts to please his constituents.

ested in having a given act SUBJ
mitted must circulate a petition
throughout the state. This pro-
cess must be repeated for each act
required to be submitted, for it is
not to be supposed that the same
people in favor Of one submission
petition would be in favor of any
one or all of the others. What a
field for agitation would thus be
opened up, and what an oppor-
tunity for those who would be
willing to circulate petitions at a
moderate compensation to be paid
by those persons or corporations
interested in moulding pub
lie sentiment" against obnoxious
legislation" for
N rogue ever felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law"
Under the system now in vogue
if members of the legislature fail
to comply with the wishes of their
constituents in the enactment of
good laws they are not likely to be
returned next time, and thus men
are either trusted or relegated to
the rear as they have been honest
or dishonest.
But let us assume that the num-
Der Of acts to be submitted would
not exceed ten or twelve, and that
under the Herald's proper regula-
tions" all were to be submitted at
the same time. We venture to say
that the average voter, intelligent
as are all our citizens, must be a
miraculous person if he can prop
erly digest the numerous pro-
visions in all the acts to be voted
on and do justice by himself and
his state in his brief five minutes
in the ticket booth.
Under the prevailing system the
fifty thousand voters in the state,
the great majority of whom are
busily engaged with their private
affairs, elect ninety-three men,
leaders in their several communi-
ties and supposed to be above the
average in intelligence and legis-
lative experience, to make the
laws. In the same way these same
voters elect u judges to
construe those laws, and a
governor and other state Off
GERS to give them force and
effect. This is popular govern
ment in it's well-tried and most
convenient form. All the men SO
elected are amenable to law and
answerable tothe popular tribunal,
the people themselves. If they
abuse the power reposed in them
it is the duty Of the Herald and
other newspapers to hold them up
to the day light of public. opinion,
indicating the specific acts of mis-
conduct. To attack our Republi-
can form of government and to
make wholesale charges against
our officials, without furnishing
substantial proof Of the failure of
the one and the incompetency or
corruption Of the other, is both
seditious and cowardly.
It is a remarkable fact that in
its socialistic TRADE the Herald has
not indicated a single law enacted

Considerable Shipping Wrecked
Around Sabine Pass.

PORT ARTHUR. September 1.-THE
great storm which so nearly destroyed the
city and port of Galveston did practically
no damage at Port Arthur. Houses in the
lower grounds were injured by back-water
coming into the floors from one to five
inches deep.
A sixty-ton red-snapper schooner was
beached In FROM of the old town of Sabine
Pass, while large barge and many small
craft between the old and new towns were
carried by the waves upon the beach and
Southern Pacific railroad tracks and be-
yond to the open prairie. The United States
life-saving station and several nearby
buildings were destroyed. The United
States pilot boat Hope rests on the prairie
a quarter of mile south of New Sabine
The water was about four feet deep over
the main street in Sabine, but did little
damage to the business houses, moving
some from their foundations. however Two
fishermen out in the gulf were drowned.
The custom house at the waters edge
was twisted on its piing foundations and
thrown out Of plumb. The number of
houses wrecked and destroyed at New and
Old Sabine will not exceed thirty forty.

From the Boston Globe DemJ.
No contemporary political debater has a
more PLAUSIBLE art than Mr.. Mckinley has
been able TO bring TO his service in many
campaigns. When he has a point to make
and to carry no one is more resourceful in
popular eXpedients, and no one is freer
from the chains of logic Often he may not
reach the mind. but he has the instinct
which guides him unerringly to the feel

broad as that of some of his historic an

less dexterity than on some other occa-
sions in his long career before the public.

Quick to Seize the Strong Arguments.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal Dem).
It is well known that the Courier-Jour-
nal is not in sympathy with the propo-
Sition that we shall surrender the Phil
ippines to any faction of Filipinos to
anybody else. We do not believe that
should be done, and do not believe 1t
will be done. Mr.. Mckinley is quick to
seize the clear and strong arguments
against that course. But the real ques-
ton, which he does not discuss, nothwith-
standing hte length of his letter, is whether
we shall govern the Philippines a part
of territory to which Constitution
applies whether we shall govern them
as extra-constitutional colony. Euloges
of the republican party the party that
opposes Imperialism at home do not an

Telephone Work.

The Marietta Telephone Company Is
pushing work on its lines in this city
as rapidly, as possible. On Putnam
street large force Of men has been al
work this week, laying the under
ground conduits, and the work is now
about half finished. The rains have
interfered with the rapid prosecution
of the work the past two days. The
underground conduits will be carried
as far as the alley between Third and
Fourth street. AS soon as this work
is finished, the Greene street work will
be taken up.
All of the inside wiring for about
400 phones in the central part of the
city has been done and about 21s miles
CT cable has been strung ready for
connections to be made. In the offices
everything is being made ready for the
placing of the switchboard apparatus,
part of which has already arrived.
1t is expected that the exchange with
about 400 phones will be In operation
by August 15 at the latest. and the re-
naming 300 phones subscribed for will
be connected up as soon thereafter as
possible.

The Pon,oon Bridge.

In some manner the impression has
gone out that the pontoon contract be-
tween Writ s. Dye and p. Q. Shrake
expires on August /, and that the
bridge might be taken away after that
date In fact 1t was understood several
days ago that this would be used In an
indirect way as an argument for the
extension of time on the building of
the new bridge.
An examination of the contract
shows, however, that the pontoon
bridge will not be taken away as, Mr..
Shrake is bound to keep 1t in operation
until the new bridge is completed. So
1T is evident that the public is safe on
that score.
The price paid for this accommoda-
tion is to be $500. ard of this amount
only 5000 has been paid, Mr.. Dye re-
tanning 5000 to secure the faithful per-
formance of the carrying out of the
work. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Dye raised the $500 by subscriptions
among business men principally, when
1t was found that the ferry furnished
by the Bridge Company was made
quate to meet the demands made by
the ordinary travel and traffic across
the river.
