GAINS BY THE DEMOCRATS.
Elections in Michigan Show Dissatisfaction
With McKinleyism.
(Ev the Associated Press. J

Detroit, Mich, April 2.-The Democrats
made several striking gains in the muni-
cipal elections held in all Michigan cities
today, except Detroit and Port Huron.
At Lansing J. F. Hammell was elected
by $40 majority. the first Democratic
mayor in ten years. Mayor George r.
Perry Democrat, was reelected at Grand
Rapids over eX- Mayor Stuart by 1888 ma
iority His majority last year was only
T2S. There is a strong Holland Dutch
vote in Grand Rapids, and dissatisfaction
with the Administration course toward
the Beers is believed TO be reflected in
the increased Democratic majority.
At Petosky, which has hitherto
been Republican, the Democrats
carried two of the thre wards, and
elected =. B. Wachtel mayor. Hudson
and Ann Arbor both show Democratic
gains. At Big Rapids the Democrats re-
duced the Republican majorities of last
wear by half.

BOERs HOLD THE WATER WORKS.
They Are Commanded by Reichman, German

(By the Associated Press.

Bushmans Kop, Sunday, April l.
The Beers who were hidden in the
spruit when the British guns were
captured yesterday were commanded
by Reichman, a German-American.
The Beers retired this morning
when they discovered the British
scouts, leaving two Dutch military
attaches, one of them dangerously
wounded. in the hands of the Brit
ish. All the wounded are doing well.
Everyone agrees that but for Colo
mel Broadwood's splendid handling of
his troops, not q member of the force
would have escaped. The Beers are
still holding the'water works and the
line of hills behind them.
The foregoing dispatch settles the
disputed point, arising from the dis
crepancy in the dispatch from Bush
mans kop of Saturday, and Lord
Roberts dispatch of yesterday refer
ring to the time of the engagement
between the British and Beers. which
is now shown to be Saturday and not
Sunday, as might have been Inferred
from the message of the Commander
in-Chief.

Judge Deemer has declined the offer
of the chancellorship of the law de-
partment of the state university and
will remain on the supreme bench for
the present at least. He is perhaps
wise. Such change would not be a
promotion, just change to position
of more educational character, q posi-
ton of scarcely equal rank from the
standpoint ct the law. Judge Deemer
is man of splendid attainments and
qualities. His conclusion to remain

ing to be an interesting contest, that

address to his old friends and neigh
bors, in which he said, "Neighbors give

These words come with as much
force to-day as they did when Lincoln
spoke them.
Up in the northwest is a great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows

The country referred to lies along
the Northern Pacific railroad. Here
you can find pretty much anything
you want. In Minnesota, and in the
Red River Valley, of North Dakota,
the finest prairie land fitted for wheat
and grain, or as well as for daring and
diversified farming. In western North

most nutritious of grasses.

to select from.
As for scenic delights the Northern
Pacific railroad passes through a coun-
II try unparalleled. In crossing the
Rocky and Cascade mountains. the
greatest mountain scenery to be seen
in the United States from car windows
is found. The wonderful bad lands,
wonderful in graceful form and glow
ing color, are poem. Lakes Pend d.

worthy ola trans-continental trip. The
ride along the Clark Fork Of the Col

The Sac County Democrat thinks
Bryan is making mistake by under
taking to edit paper. 1t thinks he
is too great an orator to meet the ex-
pectations of the public as a writer.
His written thought is subjected to
more careful examination and analysis
and the weakness Of the positions are
more easily seen. We think the Demo
crat would have stated the matter
more nearly correct if it had said that
as writer Bryan will not be as sue
cessful in misleading the people as he
is as a speaker.

The North Western Double -Trac king

The North Western Railway Com
pany is firmly establishing its reputa-
ton as one of the greatest and most
successful companies in the country.
Its double-track system from Chicago
to Omaha which it expects to have COM
pleted by the end of 1901 will mark
great forward step in railroad opera
tons in this country. The distance is
492 miles. The advantage of double
track are apparent to all people. In
the first place it greatly reduces acct
dents. All trains going east run on
one track and those going west ON
the other. 1t enables the road to run
their trains nearer on schedule time.
There is no side switching and waiting
for another tram TO go the other way to
pass. The block system is also used
now on their whole line, which pre-
vents trains going the same way from
running too near each other, thus pre-
venting danger.
The double-tracking of the North
Western was commenced several years
ago when il was made from Chicago TO
Clinton. A few years later it was ex-
tended to Tama. The last year they
have been working on different divi-
sions between there and Omaha. They
are employing 1900 men in this con-
struction. 60 locomotives and 1000
cars. In this double tracking they are
also taking out the worst curves and
overcoming the greatest grades. The
old road had grades on its line between
Council Bluffs and Clinton of 10 feet
to the mile. The new road will not
have a greater grade than 80 feet to
the mile. The maximum curvature on
the old road is six degrees while on the
new it will be two degrees. To make
all the changes the road had to be re-
located in some places. The greatest
work in the changes was where the new
road will cross the Des Moines River
at Moingona. The new bridge will be
one of 1.-THE longest double-track steel
bridges in the world. 1t will be 2,6SS
feet long,: or As feet more than a hall
mile. The bridge will cost over $780,
900.
The roadis a great credit to the
state. The company deserves congrat-
ulations on their splendid impr owe
ments.

We understand the old plan the de-
partment has had for letting contracts
for carrying mail on star routes is to
be discontinued as fast as present con-
tracts expire. We hope this is true.
We do not think there ought to be any
middle man to get profits in this gov
eminent work of carrying mails. There
have been some glazing wrongs com
mitted in this respect. Many routes
have been paid for reasonably by the
government and sublet by the con-
tractor at starving wages. The carrier
should get all the government pays for
the carrying. We are glad the old
method is going to be discarded and
contracts let direct to the carriers.

The Cudahy kidnapping case brings
out the fact that there is no sufficient
penalty in many Of the state codes for
such crimes. Our own state could only
give man ten years in the'penitentiary
or fine them $1,000. kidnapping the
children of wealthy parents seems to
be developing into business and the
penalties should be made sufficient to
be some preventative.

Mckinley will have an overwhelming
majority. There has been a complete re-
Volution of sentiment among the people.
Precincts that four years ago gave Nc
kinley no votes at all or only a scat
tering few, are now strongly republican.
The people of Montana are in favor or
expansion, and since Bryan n his party
have relegated silver to the background
they are coming back to the republican
party where they were before 1896.
Montana is a great and prosperous
and progressive and patriotic state, and
its people are in favor of those policies
of the republican party which have made
us prosperous at home and made the ma
ton honored throughout the world. AS
the real issues of the campaign are COM
ing to be understood, the voters are COM
ing over to the republican party. The
grO with of sentiment in favor of the re-
election of the president, and the cleo
ton of a republican legislature is really
astonishing. IF this growth continues, as
1T doubtless will, during the next three

the fate of more h a one politician, and
such may be the case Of Judge Frank H.

for judge of the fourth judicial district.
A question has been raised in Ravalli
county affecting the legality of the NOM
nation of the candidates Of the McCul-
loch VIM of the democracy and the mat
ter taken to the supreme court for set
cement. 1t was the McCulloch wing that
participated in the convention that nom-
mated Judge Woody. the district being
composed of Ravalli and Missoula coun-
ties. If the supreme court should decide
that the McCufloch democrats are not
entitled to representation on the ticket
It might reach so far as to invalidate
