FRIDAY, o 9, 1900:
A GREAT VICTORY.

The central figure in the politi-
cal campaign just closed was
William Mckinley, president of
the United States.
Other persons were prominent in
politics. There was William j..
Bryan for the second time candi-
date of the opposition and with a
personal following such as few
American politicians have possess
sed; there were the candidates for
the vice presidency, each a leader
of his respective party; there were
the chairmen of the national COM
mittees, and there were numerous
others, speakers, statesmen, politi-
cal organizers of varying class and
ability. But the central figure
was that wise, cautious, watchful
American statesman at Washing
ton who was guiding the affairs of
the nation with a rare combination
Of executive ability and devotion
to the will and interests Of the
people. William Mckinley is the
representative of the Republican
party. His record is it's record.
and his policies are its policies,
and by what he has done that
party was judged by the people
and grandly endorsedlast Tuesday.
The victory is overwhelming,
greater by far than the most en-
thusiastic Republican had antici-
pated, owing to the worst campaign
of Misrepresentation and abuse
that has been. conducted by the
opposition during the present
generation. But the people have
spoken and the idols Of Democracy
have been destroyed forever.
Duringth next four years William
Mckinley will, as in the past, full
fill the duties of his Office, no less
and no more. He will keep the
trust that has been confded to
him. He will perform the task
assigned to him by congress. He
will assume no powers that are
not his by right. He will branch
out on no scheme Of personal ag.
grandizement. He will do what
there is for him to do and he viii
do it we'll.
The judgment Of history upon
William Mckinley will be that he
was n of the great presidents
It has been his task, as it has beer
his good fortune, to contribute
most powerfully and successfully
to the progress, the prosperity anc
the greatness of his country anc
the result of Tuesdays elections
shows that true craftsmanship il
appreciated and that the American
people cannot be humbugged.

Bismarck Tribune: An inter-
view with MI. J. H. Mathews of
Larimore published in the Grand
Forks Herald tends to show that
it is not wise to take snap judg-
ment in the case Of the disputed
Nome mining claims. Mr.. Mat
hews article proves that Judge
Noyes was concerned with getting
agood man for receiver and that
all this talk of an agreement be-
tween Mckenzie and Noyes is
buncombe, put forth by the Lane
syndicate to prejudice the case.
It will be noted in the kilograms
today that the case goes to the
United States supreme court for
settlement, having been taken out
of the hands of the California
court on the ground hat it ex-
ceeded it's jurisdiction and rights
in the matter. When the United
States supreme court decides the
case it will settle the principal
question involved-whether aliens
can take up mining claims. All
this talk Of the depriving of indi-
viduals of their rights falls fiat,
because the claims of the aliens
were long ago sold to the Lane
syndicate of millionaires, and none

Dun's Review: Commercial
failures in October were 1872 in
number and $9,O72, 791 in amount.
Manufacturing defaults numbered
200 for $2,l95,362, trading SAL for
$5,35l,l88, and other commercial
Al for $526,241. There we're only
two financial disasters, with liabi-
lities of $55o,000. AS was ex-
planned in detail last month, the
unparalleled conditions existing a
year ago make comparison with
1899 unfair, but October, 1896,
was also the month just preceding
a presidential election, and fail
ures then we're 1854 in number
and $14,880,266 in amount, al
though the number Of concerns in
business has increased more than
125,000 in four years. October
shows much improvement over
September returns, liabilities de-
creasing nearly 100000. In
manufacturing the October figures
are particularly encouraging; prior
to last year but five months out of
sixty-three showed smaller liabili-
ties, and even in 1899 five out Of
the fourteen branches showed
heavier losses. Trading failures
we're generally small, but if we
exclude a few large defaults for
over 100000 each the total is
smaller than in any previous
October since these records were
commenced, except 1899 and 1898.

hold in the Transvaal.
LONDON, May 2S.-As anticipated the
first news from Lord Roberts after his
long silence was the announcement the
British had crossed the Vaal river.
General Hunton 8 column, which crossed
at Parys, may be expected to make
dash at the railroad in the neighbor-
hood of Potchefstroom, whence there is
direct communication with Johannes
burg. General Hamilton s column is at
Boschbank, which is close to the river,
about eight miles northwest of Wolve
Hook, Lord Roberts headquarters, and
may be expected to also cross the Vaal
river and create a diversion on the
flank of any federal force in the neigh
borhood of Vereeninging. AS he has
only about Is miles to traverse, a
speedy announcement may be expected
that the British commander-in-chief
himself has gained foothold in the
Transvaal and that he will reach the
federal position south of Johannesburg
in the middle of the coming week.
