Sudden Death.

The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. G. Flynn regret exceed
ingly to hear of the death Of their
little fourteen months old son,
which occurred on Sunday night
Mt about II o'clock. Mr.. and
Mrs. Flynn had gone to church
leaving the baby at home with
the girl and other children and
the little boy was apparently as
well ever. About 8 Clock he was
taken with spasms and Nr. and
Mrs. Flynn were, igMed diately
summoned. DR.. 1Brimi, who
was operating on patient at the
time, ran over to the house as
fast as possible leaving his other
patient, and from that that time
until about Ii O'Clock he worked
on the little sufferer without eff
feet until death relieved it's suf-
ferings. DR.. Brimi says that
the child died from Eclampsia or
commissions. The>little child had
always been healthy and what
caused it's sickness is unknown.
The blow is a hard one to the
bereaved parents, who have the
heartfelt sympathy Of their many
friends. The funeral occurred
at the Baptist church last Tues
day afternoon, Rev. H. M. Shouse
officiating.

The army canteen got a black
eye in the United States senate
last Thursday The canteen was
abolished by q vote of 25 to Is.
Senators Hansborongh and Nc
Cumber worked hard to knock
out the canteen. President Nc
Kinley has been resoluted
against and prayer chains start
ed by cranks down in Indiana
and other states and now that
congress has knocked it out we
hope that the president will get a
rest. There is no question but
what the canteen was u great
curse to the soldiery of the coun-
try and the people of the United
States will NO doubt indorse the
action of congress.

The last message Of Gov.
Deyine was just what we expect
ed it would be, an able, we'll got
ten up resume of the states busi-
ness and it's needs. Governor
Devine knows just what the
state needs aud his message is
along those lines, The first mes
sage of Gov. White is a short. but
sensible document and if the
legislature acts on his sugges-
tion they won't go very far out
of the way. He recommends
economy and the raising Of the
debt limit in order to give us a
chance to keep pace with our.
growing needs also provide suf-
ficient revenue to pay the debts
Of the state. The governor has
made a very good impression
and appears TO have the courage
Of his convictions. He may have
a chance to show the people
whether he has a backbone or.
not before he gets through with
this legislature.

We are in favor Of amending

action of congress.

The state senate, by a vote
which was almost'unanimous, re-
fused to ST stain Lieutenant Gov
ernor Bartlett in his ruling that
no clerks should be appointed
except those authorized by law.
The taxpayers are likely to
take Mr.. Bar rtlett's view of the
matter. Just what justification
thereis is for placing more clerks
on the pay roll it is difficult to
see and if they are needed there
is a regular way to proceed in
securing them. Mr.. BARTLETT
simply held that the regular
course should be followed. The
early reports of the matter sent
out were very brief, and it is pos
|sible that more detailed informa-
tion may modify the public
opinion, which, at present. seems
to be emphatic;tlly with the lieu
tenant governor. Grand Forks
Herald.
Lientenant-G Governor Bartlett
is entitled to great credit for the
firm and manly stand made in
the senate at the opening of the
legislature in sitting down on
motions to appoint extra clerks
not mentioned in the statutes
and not at all necessary. The
statute provides for the appoint
ment or election of certain
number of clerks to do the work
of the senate. and Eo more are
needed. A motion was made to
elect clerk four different times
and each time Mr.. Bartlett ruled
the motion out Of order but was
over-ruled by com bination of
senators who would rather vote
money out of the public treasury
than lose paltry clerkship
promised. Every successive
legislature finds this same state
of affairs and we presume it well
continue so long as legislatures
exist and members regard the
wishes Of the politicians more
sacred than the purse of the peo-
pie. It pleases the Courier to
know that we have a gentleman
presiding over the senate who is
against the reckless expenditure
of public funds for useless clerk
