really want to abandon the Philippines
to the anarchy of the separate and jeal.
Gus tribes and races Of the islands, or to
the dictatorship and Imperialism of such
scoundrel as Aguinaldo has been
proven to be.
But it seems to us that the voter would
and should prefer to cast his vote for the
man and party who by their acts in the
past have proven capable and able to
meet the great and difficult issues pre-.
sented, and to settle them so satisfac'
torily to all concerned. It's better to
place in power party whose utterances
are honest and conservative than to trust
to the luck of government by two parties,
one the party Of opposition and the other
the party of radicalism-whose bes,
recommendation is that they will not dc
what they say ought to be done.

THE ALASKA PURCHASE.

Alaska was purchased for 81, OO0, 600
from Russia. What inhabitants were
there were almost all Russians and
Indians. 1t was not contiguous terri
tory" and at the time of the purchase it
took almost as long to get to St. Michaels
from Seattle as it now does from Seattle
to the Philippines.
Nobody ever kicked on the unconsti-
tutionality of the purchase. Nobody
ever denied the right ofgovernment over
the inhabitants though their consent was
never asked.
The only objection raised was that it
was foolish bargain to buy that frozen
country for so much money, and we think
a majority of the people of the United
States were then of that opinion. The
purchase was due to what is now known
to be the sagacity and far-sightedness Of
Secretary Seward, though of course even
he little realized the mineral richness OF
the purchase.

Some one of the three or four populist
papers in the state gave it out the other
week tina Lieutenant M. A. Hildreth
was very popular in the First North Da-
kota.s This reminds us that in 1893 when
the regiment was in quarters in Manila,
election day rolled around. There
wasn't much excitement, and on recon-
mendation of Col. Treumann it was de-
cided TO hold a mock election on the
usual day set forth for that purpose.
Hon. John F. Cowan was at that time
the republican nominee for attorney gem
eral, and Lieut.. Hildreth was the popu-
list nominee Tor the same Office. When
the voteswere counted it was discovered
that that HE lieutenant had succeeded in
getting at least six votes in Co. B, his
own company, and in the others his vote
ranged from Ito 4. Devils Lake News.

"a PART OF THE TRADE OF A
KINan

KING"
Ever since Brother Tuttle of the Man.
dan Pioneer dropped the pencil for a
brief while. and took it upon himself to
steer the ship of state via the republican
state convention, he has been experience
ing the pains of greatness and every little
insignificant, country editor, including
Major Edwards, Tud Jordan, Jewell and
DelaBere. have been showing pencils
green and pointed with jealousy at him
and-unkindest act of fall-DelaBere calls
him English! And there's lot of
these pusillanimous cusses that won't
stop grinning because M. H. Jewell was
elected secretary of the state committee
at Mr.. Tuttle's expressed wish, combined
with the desire of Alex. Mckenzie.
And as if that were not enough Bro.
Tuttle has somehow got himself mixed
up with the ''private secretary of a Fargo
brute beast"-and the results yet
Josh Billings used to say 'if man de-
|sires quiet life he should walk through
the back streets" Weare afraid Brother
Tuttle has frequented too crowded
thoroughfares lately for his piece ofmind.

1t is quite common custom for the
voter to cross over to the other party
and vote for candidates opposed to his
political principles on the ground of
location or personal friendship.
This is equally true in the case of state
or county officials and is further often
excused by the belief that personally
such preference is made because the
''other fellow' is the best fitted for the
office.
There may be and often is great deal
of truth in the latter idea, and if that was
all, the action would be all right; but il
that is all the motive in voting for can
didates then political partiesas organized
bodies might as we'll be abolished. But
if political parties are necessity for the
good government of a republic, and all
history proves this true, then scratching
tickets is altogether wrong, as general
law. We admit the exception however
that when candidate of known bad
character is presented by any party, tina,
he should be ostracised at the polling
booth; and there also may sometimes be
a local issue at stake which shadows the
usual party issues, but such exceptions
prove the rule.
The fact is, the candidate occupies a
dual position as an office.holder or can.
didate. He is not only an office-holde1
but he is leader and worker for hi.
party, and whether the voter means il
that way or not the effect of his ballo,
is to assist the party he opposes.
| If you desire the success of Mckinley
don't vote for man who is bending all
his energies to assist the party that is
trying to defeat Mckinley. You more
than neutralize your vote for Mckinley,
for nine times out of ten you are not a
worker, at least an enthusiastic one
while the candidate on the other side is
now, and will be during his term ol

THE TWO PLANS.

Bryan's plan is: lst, to declare the
independence of the Philippines; End,
to establish stable government there,
.3rd. to then withdraw and establish a
protectorate over them.
In another place in this issue an ex.
tract from the New York Tribune shows
how illogical is Mr.. Bryan's plan from
his own arguments, because, either we
have all rights Of government there OF
else no rights whatever. This. however,
is not the particular point we wished to
discuss, but rather to contrast this plan
with the republican plan.
AS a premise, we will quote Sec. 8,
Art. 4, Of the constitution under which
the republican party believe they have
authority for the government Of the Phil
ippines, as follows: The congress shall
have power to dispose Of and make all
needfu1 rules and regulations respecting
the territory or other property belonging
to the United States.s

A COUNTY DIVORCE.

According to the records in the Clerk
OF Courts office in this county, decree
in divorce was issued by Judge Sauter in
the case of Mary A. Chase VS.. Harry
Chase, which decree says nothing as to
costs, Simply grants the divorce and
awards the custody of the four children
to the plaintiff. According to the same
records there was no appearance of the
defendant, and only three or four resi-.
dent witnesses were examined. The
proceedings are regular on their face,
and the only costs shown by the clerks
books and the papers are S. for the DOCK.

vice of summons on the defendant by
the sheriff. E. w. Conmy is the only at
torney of record in the case, and was
for the plaintiff. The divorce was grant.
ed in June.
On July 12, 1900, the board of county
commissioners of this county allowed
the following bill:
County of Pembina, N. D., DR..
10 E. w. Conmy.
Fees, costs and expenses in the
Mary A.. Chase case and fees
from Clerk of Court .......S IS co.
The bill is duly verified and sworn to
by Mr.. Conmy.
Among large number of queries tha,
might be asked in reference to the latter
transaction, by perhaps too curious
public, the following two will stick up a
little more prominent, to-wit:
lst. What has or had the county tc
do with private divorce case anyway?
End. And If it had any connection
with either or both parties, why did il
employ and pay Mr.. Conmy when it pays
States Attorney 81, 600 year to attenc
to its legal matters?

equalization boards.

In explanation, it may be said that the
members of the board aimed to place the
figures at nea arly the same figures as last
year. Cass last year was 6.54, and this
years figures we're 656, hence no
change. Pembina county last year was
4.19. but this year returned 3.99, SO the
raise over last years figures to 4.27 is in
significant.
Nearly all the other large counties
made big drop over last years equal
lied value, but as evident, it was of no
laval.
1t will be remembered that our asses
|sors at their meeting. in fixing rates, de-
termined to assess land at the state valua-
tons, arguing that it was no use to at
tempt to drop the rates, as the state
board would raise it and only extend so
much more labor. They came very
close to their calculations, not only in
the assessment but also in their opinion
OF the work Of the state board.
The assessment values of railroads
were left as last year.
There is quite an increase in the total
valuation, and for the first time in the
history Of the state, the board are not
compelled to see how high they can
raise the valuation in order that the lim-
itedfrate Of taxation as fixed by statute,
may produce sufficient revenue to pay
the expenses Of the state. 5t4

CONSERVATISM VS.. RADICAL
1SM.

Between the problems presented by
the Philippines and the many possible
questions that may arise from the Chin
ese war, it looks as though we should
have a conservative and tired man in the
presidential chair. The republican party
has been in power in the fighting and
peace making OF two wars. President
Mckinley as soldier, statesman and
president has seen active service all
along these lines, and the history of the
party and the president are matters Of
public knowledge.
Mr.. Brysnis nothing if not extremely
radical. HI is the representative of one
party which as q party has never been in
position toisettle nationalissues but once
in forty years, and then made botch Of
what little It tried to do. He is also the
representative Of a second party, whose
platform y composed Of planks so radi-
cali that novelty is the chief characteristic.

A Resolution to That Eject Passes
the Senate-The Vote Will he
RecORsidered.

Washington, Feb. 11.-At the open.
ing of the senate Saturday Mr.. Allen
presented the following:
"That the United States of America
extends its sympathy to the people OF
the South African republic in their
heroic struggle for liberty and pop
ular government, and believes it to be
the duty of the government of the
United States to offer mediation tC
the end that further bloodshed may
be averted and an honorable peace
may be concluded between the bel
ligerent governments"
No objection was made to the con
sideration of the resolution, only
about dozen senators being present
Before anybody realized what wa!
going on, the resolution was put to {
vote and declared adopted.
Mr.. Pettus (Ala.), addressing th'
chair, demanded the yeas and nays.
To this Mr.. Allen objected, az tn
resolution had been adopted.
The chair agreed to this point, bu
asked Mr.. Allen that he permit th
vote to be reconsidered and let TIL
resolution go over. To this Mr.. Allel
consented.
