POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The Hay "Irnpenchmcnt."-E
within the fertile imaginations OF sensa-
tional correspondents, there seems to be
no thought anywhere of institutIng i'm
parchment proceedings against the Score
tary Of State for his part in the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty or for anything else
Mr., Hay has done as chief OF the State
Department. Careful enquiry was made
yesterday among the Democratic leaders
of both the House and Senate, and every
body secuted the suggestion that proceed
ings TO disgrace the Secretary OF state
were contemplated by anybody Of thor
ouEhly sane mind. THE Republicans
doubtless would be delighted if we should
permit the yellow press to stampede us
with its hysterical shrieks in this Hay
Pauncefote matter, as it stampeded both
parties in the House in the Roberts case,
said a leading Democratic Senator 20 a
Times representative. The Administra-
ton finds itself in a very unpleasant pre-
dicament in this Nicaragua Canal enter
prise, and would rejoice if the Democratic
party should come to its relief with
proposition to prosecute the chief member
Of the Cabinet for exercising legitimate
function of his office. The Hay Paunce-
Senate. and that will afford all Of the po-
litical capital the Democrats could hope to
make out OF it. Even If there were tan
gble basis for the impeachment of Sec
rotary Hay-and there is none-the Demo
Gratis in the House would nullify all Of
the party good accomplished by the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate IL the former should
attempt to make out a case Of impeach-
ment. The suggestion is too absurd to be
seriously treated. The most that Secre
tary Hay has done in this canal question
is his disregard of the Monroe Doctrine.
OF course in doing that he has ignored
one OF the strongest and most precious
national sentiments, but he has violated
no statute. whatever violence he may
have done to his own conscience. We can
beat the Administration out of its boots
on this issue alone in the next campaign

senator Berry TrIumphins.-T The

genial and popular Senator Berry seems
to have his enemies on the hip in Arkan-
sas. The first three counties in which
primaries have been held for members o.
the Legislature have given big majorities
fer senator Berry over Gov. Dan ". Jones
These results. CT course, do not decide the
contest, but it is claimed that they very
clearly indicate the drift. Governor Jones,
il is said hesitated too long in declaring
outright for expansion. Only a few weeks
ago did he come out flat-footed on this is
sue. and pending his uncertainty Senator
Rerry's weil-urgauized machine was get
ting in its work. It is conceded that had
Senator Morgan been hesitant on the ques-
ton in Alabama, as Governor Jones was
until recently in Arkansas. he undoubtedly
would have been defeated. Statesmen Of
all sorts are beginning to learn-sumc Of
them when the salvation wagon has pass
ed-that expansion is an issue which the
peoplc demand shall be dealt with fairly
and openly.

II is probable that somewhere on an IN

plans than in the production Of "Ths
Queen Of Chinatown shown last night at

that nothing 50 crude and horrible. in the
gUise OF a play, ever has shocked local
audience. The piece is a slow mixture
Of miserable specialties. yellow costumes.

OF various political complexions declare
that the Hon Richard Franklin Pettigrew
has not only pettigrewed himself but that
he has also pettigrewed his own party in

tons. Hence is his defeat for the Senate

Caldwell Out of 1.-THE best informed
opinion leans strongly toward the belief
that Judge Henry C. Caldwell is no longer
in the list Of Democratic Vice Presidential
possibilities. Less than two weeks ago
Judge Caldwell was generally regarded as
the most likely candidate Up TO that
time the statement had gone unchallenged
that he was Colonel Bryan'5 choice. which
meant that he would be nominated prac-
ticaily without opposition. But at the
meeting Of the Democratic National Com
mittee Judge Caldwell's goose was very
effectualiy cooked. Some of the men very
close to Bryan are now denying that the
aged jurist ever was organs choice. It
is undeniable that the victory of the Cor
man Mclean combine in the committee in
the important matter OF the convention
slate is what put Judge Caldwell out OF
the running 1t has been learned that at
a conference of about dozen OF the COM
mitteemen from the South and Southwest
a short While before the committee met
an agreement was reached to deaden the
Caldwell sentiment by some concerted ac-
ton. the details of which were entrusted
to Mr.. German for prosecution Ii was
pointed out that though Judge Caldwell
has delivered some opinions from the Fed
eral bench which have the true ring Of
anti monopoly. yet he has rendered other
decisions whose tendency is Just the other
way. Above and beyond all this. however,
was the stubborn contention that he is
not q Democrat. With The elimination of
Judge Caldwell there has been brought to
view another famous jurist for the second
place on the Democratic ticket. who is a
Democrat, sans peur. sans reproche Ref
eTence is made to Judge Jesse Phillips
Of the Supreme Court of Illinois, Of whom
it is said that he carries so much rebel
lead III his body that it can be heard rat
Ting as he walks Judge Phillips has
remained on the bench OF Illinois for more
than twenty years. through all the po-
litical mutations in that State and in
every race he has led his ticket. For some
reason unexplained he is particularly
strong with the Germans, and his hackers
assert with great postiveness that if he
is nominated for Vice President he will
carry Illinois for the ticket. Judge Phil
lips wrote the decision of the Illinois SD
pr2me Court against the Associated Press
monopoly. and that opinion is declared to
touch broader and deeper the subject OF
nDnODOiv than any other eyer daIiyara6

For three years this old building
was the home of the school. Last
winter it was burned to the ground and
a new livery barn now stands where
stood the first school for the deaf of
North Dakota. Such was the BEGIN
ming. Most schools for deaf children
h;ve begun this way.
"In the fall of 1881 the prese 1T
building was begun, the plans for the
same having been drawn by Olaf Han
son, the deaf architect then just rising
into prominence. By the fall of 1893
the main building and east wing were
Ger '!eted and the school opened its
fall term in the new building. This
Was a great improvement over the old
frame affair in town and the change

Increased ATTENDANCE soon filled the
building to its utmost, but combina-
ton Of circumstances served to keep
the school onSthe ragged edge all the
time. The legislatures of 1895 and
1897 expressed great sympathy for us
in our sore needs and while it was all
appreciated, yet we would have been
glad to have seen that good old adage
money talks exempllfed, but it was
not to be-. Our hearts were gladdened,
however, by the tardy recognition of
our needs by the last legislature, and
as a result of their recognition the
school today today has a complete
building and many of the modern con-
.veniences of life. Ten years look like
a long time when it is in the future.

The complaint of Mr.. Hibbs Of bad

son to many country people-and city
people, also for that matter-who are
in the habit of patronizing foreign

merchant he usually examines the
goods he purchases. Anyhow the
local dealer is jealous OF his reputation,
and when at fault will make good to
the purchaser. These outside firms
quote low prices on some articles as a
bait" but experience demonstrates the
fact that he who deals with the local
merchant comes out ahead in the long
run. Besides the principle of home
trade isright. The foreign merchant
pays nothing for the support Of this
community-contributes nothing for
roads, for carrying on the government,
for helping the poor or the sick and
contributes nothing to the u%pbuilding
OF the. community. Nor does the for
eign merchant extend credit to the
poor farmer when he's hailed out or
when his crops are destroyed. It is a
mean trick to work the home merchant
for credit when you are broke and then
when you have a dollar send it to
some outside department store for
goods. OF all mean men the man who
will stand off the local merchant and
"buy for cash" abroad when he has a
dollar, is the meanest. y

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF

A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION
THAT is OF GREAT GOOD TO
THE AFFLICTED OF THE STATE,
IN EDUCATING THE DEAF AND
DUMB.
The good work being done by the
state school for the deaf at Devils Lake
is evident from the accounts of the
first graduating class from the insti-
tuition. Here three children were
graduated, after having been educated
to become useful men and women. An
account of the graduating exercises is
interesting as showing the means pos
asible to be used in expression Of ideas,
even where speech and hearing are alb
sent. The Devils Lake Free Press
says: 49, 80 81. So s .
At the commencement exercises held
at the School for the Deaf on Monday
last a large audience assembled which
taxed the seating capacity of the
chapel to its limit. The exercises
were opened by the Devils Lake or
chestra, with Ben Hur,"" followed by
exercises by the oral class. The mem
bers of this class, when, they entered
the school could neither read or write
a word and the way they delivered the
answers to the questions in excellent
writing on the blackboard would be
.c~ommendable in children of that age
who are attending the public schools.
Next to the program was an essay by
Torrents Larson, one of the graduates.
Mr.. Larson delivered the essay with
his hands while Supt. Bangs read the
same to the audience. The essay,
1.-The Cause of the Boer War" was a
masterpiece and was received with
great applause. Tine class in lip read
ing next drew attention. The
children were told verbally by their
teacher to do or write different things
which were done without a mistake.
This goes to show the careful training
the scholars are given. An essay,
t"Heroism," by W. Lester Williams,
was simply grand, and we regret that
space will not allow us to reproduce it
here. Mr.. Williams has a fine career
ahead of him and we miss our guess if
he is not heard from inlater years."
The pupils of the school have a
printing outfit and issue a monthly
publication, the North Dakota Banner.
The commencement number was an
excellent one, and there is in it the
following regarding the school:
THE School for the Deaf was located
by the constitutional convention at
Devils Lake and received from the ma
tional government a grant of 10000
acres of land. The legislature of 1889
granted an appropriation of $1,000 for
the current EXPENSES of the school for
one year and the city furnished, free
of costa large frame building in town
for its home. September 10, 1890, the
school vas first opened by the arrival
