REVOLVER PRACTICE.

The assassination Of Goebel in Ken
lucky is legitimate result of methods
and habits prevailing in Kentucky and
some, if not all, southern states. The
use and carrying of arms is, particularly
among the upper classes, nearly uni
versal. Years ago, before the civil war,
duelling was the common way of satis-
flying mans honor. Later the practice
of duelling was made crime under the
law, so now when two men quarrel, it is
understood in most cases, that the next
time they meet, both shall be ready to
shoot. The SURVIVOR if taken before the
court, pleads self-defense and is acquit-
ted. Mr.. Goebel himself only few
years ago went through this performance
after killing his opponent. At the time
he was shot last week he reached for his
hip pocket. A man who was arrested
for shooting him had three revolvers on
his person, but fortunately for him all
chambers were loaded and showed no
signs of recent use, and as he stated, "If
your arrest every man i'll Frankfort that
carries revolver, you will have half the
town in jail"
1t was largely because northern men
did not go armed, were opposed to
duelling and did not shoot down the
people with whom they quarreled, that
most southern people really thought that
northern men could not and would not
fight, even if 1t came to war, though that
opinion changed during the rebellion
aid review of the history of those times
amply proves that the revolver is by no
means guage to the personal bravery
OF any class or any individual.
Revolvers have their place and are
sometimes almost necessity, but the
average citizen of this country has no
good reason for carrying a shooting Iron
round in his hip pocket. We believe, il
all the facts could be known, revolvers
have done more harm than good, made
trouble more times than they have pre-.
served the peace, done more to deprive
men of rights and property than to pre-.
serve them, and killed more innocent
people than they have rogues.
A strictly enforced law in the southern
states against carrying concealed weap.
ons would do much to prevent the shoot.
ing affairs which are an outgrowth of the
false idea that mans enemies must be
shot, or that the man must be coward
who lets them live. ''They that take the
sword shall perish with the sword"

intimates that State Treasurer Driscol

TIME.

AS the war goes on in Africa two
things become apparent, that the British
forces grow stronger and that the Beers
must have put nearly their whole force
to the front at the very beginning. 1t is
also apparent that England is very far
from being at the end of her resources,
while from the nature of things it is easy
to see that the Beers must grow weaker
in men and munitions ot war. One of
the surprises to the whole world, except
possibly to the German government, was
to find what was supposed to be little
and poor republic turn out to be perfect
arsenal of modern means OF warfare,
both OF small arms and rifle cannon with
complete stores of ammunition and other
accessories. And nobody appears to be
more surprised than the English govern
ment, who, it seems ought to have
known if anybody did.
But commandments, battles and other
incidents OF war use up war material very
rapidly, and the time must come in the
near future, that the Beers who have but
little facilities for manufacture and almost
no opportunities for importation from
foreign countries, must run short, and
the bravest man must fight losing bat
tie if he runs ous of powder.
The time for the Boer to win has pass
ed. Ii he had taken Mafeking, Kimberly
and Ladysmith in the beginning, these
losses with the other checks given the
British might have made the English
government hesitate, as did the battle OF
Majuba Hill in the former struggle, but
England believes that in all the present
fighting, disastrous as it has been incl
dentally to the British, yet the result as
whole has been, while without especial
advantage to either British or Boer, is
clearly that England is far stronger in
Africa then it was two months ago, and
that the Beers have, at. least, made no
progress, if not actually weaker. And
under such circumstances nobody in
England believes in backing down.
On the other hand the Boer always
hopes if he does not expect, that if he
can hold England at bay, that time and
circumstance will almost surely bring
about European interference or compli-
cation. For without this hope the Boer
knows that time can only bring certain
defeat to him. So far, the Boer has act
ed almost purely on the defensive. Even
in the investment Of the three besieged
cities, he has contented himself with
firing from the surrounding hills. But
his line Of defense is now many hundred
miles in extent. Before it are 2O0O 600
soldiers. The break will certainly come
in the near future. :

Some OF our North Dakota newspapers

Some OF our North Dakota newspapers
seem to assume that they know all about
the Kentucky election muddle. We
suggest that perhaps it might puzzle the
courts of that state to get at the rights Of
it. All we know, positively here, is that
Taylor had quite majority ON the face
of the returns, and these returns were
certified to by the same election boards
that certified to the returns that elected
the Kentucky legislature; which legisla-
tare has therefore in effect said, that
while we were elected legitimately the
vote for Taylor IS illegal.

State Money.

Speaking of the state funds in insolvent
banks The Wahpeton Globe says: 1t is
quite likely that the Citizens National of
Fargo and the First National of Pembina
will pay out entirely, while the Grand
Forks National may pay so per cent.
The Second National of Grand Forks
has already paid more than SO per cent,
and will pay more. The Minot bank is a
case where little will be paid by the re.
ceiver and nothing can be collected from
the bondsmen.
Deputy State Treasurer Cook furnishes
The Globe with the following statement
which shows the amounts that were in
the state repositories at the time of their
suspension, and the amounts that are
due:
Citizens National Bank, Fargo, s4s,.
024.sO, balance due, s22. .0I61 16. Grand
Forks National Bank, $40, 791.44, balance
due, S7,554.O2 First National Bank,

When the bank pays out the limit then
it will be time enough for the state to
commence action on the bonds to re-
cover the amounts still unpaid.

Boston. June 15.-Gov. Crane today
vetoed the bill legalizing the height OF
the Westminster chambers in this city
at 96 feet. The bill passed both
branches of the legislature and the ac-

The governors message accompany

sidered with care all the arguments
submitted i'm this controversy, giving
due weight to the representations made

point involved is not the appearance of

whether the law may be violated only

ANGRY BRIDE.
Mrs. PlIOn HurIs Missiles al
Lasar, Who She Says Ouped
Her Into Smuggling.

Niagara, Falls, n. Y. June 15.-Max
]. Lassr. of New York. charged with
diamond smuggling; Mr.. and Mrs. Vic
tor Pilon and Dr. Van Dandaigue. his
alleged victims are in the Lockport
jail awaiting bail. Lasar is held in s25. y
600. the Plons in $4,000 each and the
doctor in $4,000.
The customs authorities agree that
the bride and bridegroom. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pilon. are really innocent OF any crime
and did not know that they were snug
Cling i'm diamonds.
Mrs. Pilon, when she discovered just
what tools she and her husband had
been made. let her temper get the best
of her and she fiercely assaulted Lasar
and the doctor. She hurled anything she
could lay her hands on at the luckless
men and would have pounded and
scratched them had not the officials
and her husband interfered. Her rage
was awful.
The examination OF the party was
conducted before United States Com
missioner John T.. Pound, at Lockport,
behind closed doors, and no informa-
tion was given out.
IL is learned that the United states
Secret Service officials had been watch
England that he had sailed TO Canada
and would probably attempt TO enter
by way of Rouse's Point or at the
Falls He was traced from Montreal TO
this place by the Secret Service men.
Lasar has telegraphed his New York
attorneys TO come on and take charge
OF his defence. 1t Is now definitely
known that there was fully pint OF
diamonds seized, valued at from $4,000
10 $780, 900.
Lasar will try 10 blame the young
doctor. and will state that he told him
to tell his cousin not TO bring the gems
into this country.
Van Dandaigue says that when Lewis
searched Lasar at Lewiston that he
smelled a mouse and Lasar told him
soon after that his cousin might get
arrested. Van Dandaigue said that he
must stop that. and Lasar said he
would. Ii may be that had he not
been detained at Lewiston he would
have sought to get the gems over some
other way.
The three witnesses tell a straight
story. and II they repeat II on the
stand the government hopes TO gain
conviction.
DR.. Van Dandaigue is the son of
farmer and has practiced medicine in
Montreal for three years. Last fall he
sold his effects in order to gain a
higher medical degree I'm Paris. He is
an exemplary young man and highly
respected.
Pilon is the son OF ]. b. Pilon. Of No.

Canadian trade. He IL wealthy man.
His bride was Miss Dufort. also well
known and highly respected in the
