DEMOCRATIC POLITICS
Warming up With the Weather. Sew
eraI Candidates in the Field.

Democratic politics have suddenly
aroused themselves and candidates are
appearing upon the scene groomed for
the race. in the convention. Several
entries have been made already, among
which are Joseph Parrill and M. w.
Smith, both avowed candidates for
sheriff. They are both devoting their
time to a more or less extent to their
friends and acquaintance, and indulg-
ing in that time-honored custom of
shaking hands. Our young democratic
friends John Dolan and Clarence. Eib
have instituted bit OF rivalry be-
tween themselves as to which shall
have the honor of being defeated by
W. L. Hughes, the republican nominee
for assessor in the upper district.
There is said to be 20 number OF other
candidates In the field for sheriff.
Alvin Bassell Is named. So is James
Dunkin. Some one has said something
about Sam Elliott for the place and
there is mention of w. II. Harmison.
The running qualities of these gen.
tlemen are not very well known and
for that reason it is difficult to make
up the book and mark up the board.
Squire Parrill, however, has had lit
tie running experience and he ran we'll
too. He has been over the road and
this fact counts much, and as he says
he is out TO win and means every word
of it, It looks as if he might land the
nomination.

IT comes from sources very close
to ex-President Cleveland that he
INDUCES the hope CT profting by
the recent announcement of ADJ
miral Dewey of his candidacy for
the Presidency. Friends of Cleve-
land are working upon Dewey and
are said to be back of the Dewey
movement, but they do not expect
to be able to nominate the Ad-
miral in a democratic convention
but merely hope that through the
use of his name they may pave
the way for another candidate.
Among the three who are hoping
to be the residuary legatees of the
Dewey movement is found the
name of Cleveland.

fourteen of the principal Eu-

The favorable weather since
spring opened has put the ground
in good shape for seeding, and the
farmers have taken time by the
forelock and gotten good start
this year. 1t is estimated that
big half of the wheat seeding has
been done and that less than
another week of favorable weather
will be sufficient for the farmers
to get all their wheat in. The
reports from the southwestern
part of the county indicate that an
unusually large acreage of fax will
be put in in that section, and the
high price of that artlcle has in
duced many of the older settled
farmers to set aside more ground
for fax than they have heretofore.
1t is thought that the wheat acre
age will be very little if any larger
than usual in this county.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-04-19

In 1872 the Great Northern
road extended west from Mime
apolis az far as Breckenridge and
the rate on wheat between these
points was IS cents per 100
pounds. The line was not then
built to Grand Forks but this was
equivalent to about SO cents. In
1881 the rate from Grand Forks
was rs cents, in 1884 it was %
cents, in 1887 it was reduced to
10 cents, and the rate is now IA
cents. In other words the rate is
now about one third of what it
was in 1872. Possibly it is still
too high, especially when the
amount of the product today COM
pared with that of twenty-five
years ago is considered.

THE LIVESTOCK CENSUS.

Even those who deal in live
stock will be surprised to learn
that no complete census of the
cattle, horses, sheep and mules of
this country ever has been taken.
That is the statement of the CELL
sus Office, nevertheless, and it is
explained further that a special
law was required to enable the
director of the twelfth census to
collect information concerning the
the number and kinds of livestock
not on FARMS e
It explains in a bulletin recent
ly issued by the CELSIUS Office that
in previous counts the livestock on
farms and ranges has been enum-
Grated, but all other livestock has
been disregarded. For that reason
previous census figures on that
subject have been incorrect and an
important element in our national
wealth has been unjustly minimiz-
ed. To correct this error and OBJ
tain approximately complete fig
ures, the censns Office has pre-
pared special schedule in which
all livestock not on farms or ran
ges will be reported by the barns
or enclosures in which it is kept.
The department of agriculture
makes an annual estimate, but it,
too, counts only animals on farms
or ranges, and in January, the time
of that enumeration, there are few
young animals, but prices are
high. Thus while the valuation is
above the average, the number is
below. The census count will call
for the number, valuation, ETC., on
June'l, including, of course, this
springs young stock.
AS the total value Of the live
stock of this country is now esti-
mated at s3,00O,O00,00O, the i'm
portance of a correct census is ap-
parent.
