About the most precious article in
North Dakota at the present time is
good hay. The long drought of the
past summer was death-dealer to
nearly all the hay fields of the state,
and in many places there is absolute
suffering among the stock on the farm.
The milk and butter supply is so1ne-
what diminished by the fact that not
enough hay can be procured to keep
the COWS in good shape.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-02-15

by M. De Blervitz, for a great many
years the Paris correspondent Of the
London Times. While he does not
desire to enter the role of a prophet,
his long experience in the politics Of
Europe and his mature years entitle
him to respectful hearing at least.
After handling the effete monar-
chies of France without gloves, he
says: 81 am not a chiromantist. I
am simply noting here the existence
Of an evil extremely rife in France,
which exists as we'll throughout
Europe to greater or less degree,
namely, the growing evil everywhere
Of social parasitism, which it will be
the mission of the twentieth century
to combat, to repress and to extir-
pate" His idea is that the nonpro-
ducing noble parasite who lives on
the wealth produced by labor is the
real danger which confronts, France
and Europe today, and in order to
escape the infection and save society
heroic measures must be used at
once. He writes extremely pessimis-
tically of the death of Francis Jo-
seph, emperor Of Austria and Hun
gary, which he believes is liable to
set Europe on fire. He says: Gust
how the war will occur it is impos-
sible to foresee for the very reason
that it is inevitable, and any and
every circumstance may light the
spark. He thinks war is certain be-
cause Of the fact that Roumania, en-
couraged by Russia, will try to seize
Pennsylvania from Hungary, which
Hungary will never give up. 1t will
break out for the reason that the
Slav countries receiving encourage
ment from the same source will re
fuse to live under the shadow of the
Germans or Hungarians 1t will
will break out because Russia nor
France will permit the six millions
of Austrian-Germans to be brought
under the fold of the German en-
pire He further says if arbitration
was not a mad chimera it would in
deed be the place to apply it on the
death of Emperor Francis Joseph
Political students have time and
again expressed themselves on the
Austrian question, and all have been
exceedingly pessimistic of the result
of the emperor's death. But no such
plain note Of warning has been
sounded as this.

Washington, where he had the same
reputation, and it is said he left there
owing money to all from whom he
could borrow. No friends mOurned
him on his departure, either, and in
leaving Seattle he was careful not to
return to the place from which he
came. He went to Olympia two
years ago as Ankenys manager with
out dollar in his pocket, but imme-
diately after opened up expensive
law offices in Seattle and maintain
ed them for nearly two years without
any law practice whatever. He APP
peared to be entirely successful as
an Ankeny CRATER until the Frink
forces won out in the King county
convention, and then Fisk began
borrowing money again. Pickings
became shorter and shorter, however,
until finally he was compelled to
leave Seattle, and he went to Shell
ton, where his father and brothers
reside. He appeared to find it hard
to graft there, also, for when the
session opened recently he
went to Olympia practically in rags,
and actually exhibited the patches on
the seat Of his trousers, and his sole
less shoes, to the members of the
state senate, from whom he begged
for an office. AS Ankeny's manager
two years ago he invited different
members into his rooms as friends,
and proceeded to try to deal with
them on the senatorial election. If
he did not succeed, he did not hest
tate to circulate the story that GER
tain member, mentioning his name,
had offered to sell out to him, Civ
ing all the details of the mans al
legged offer. The test of a true friend
is to be called on to stand by man
who needs his friendship, and Tom
Fisk is the sort Of friend who stands
by man in time Of that mans pros
perity, but when adversely comes he
is among the very first to give a
former friend a down-hill kick, no
matter how much he may be obi
gated to him. Any man is better off
without the so-called friendship Of
men Of the Tom Fisk stripe, because
that kind of friendship is Of no use
to the man who don't need it, and
the man who is in need of friends
will find that Fisk is the very first to
desert him. But he has doubtless
reached the end Of his rope In the
politics Of this state, for a man who
is too lazy to earn a living at any
thing but grating in politics usual
ly finds that he is Of no value even as
a CRATER. Fisk got his job as An
keny's manager two years ago on
his assurance that he could ''handle"
Judge Grosscup, and asserted that he
could simply twist him around his
little finger when it came to manipu-
lating politics.

The Cuban patriots (?) have al
ready shown their appreciation of
the generosity Of the people Of the
United States, and shown it in such
a manner that no more of it is de-
sired. Of course, the rascals desire
to be let alone by this country, and
if they were every one Of the old
time brigands would begin robbing
the people where they left off The
very idea of leaving well meaning
people to the tender mercies of these
scOundrels is simply ridiculous. The
Democratic party, up to the time Of
the civil war was constantly working
for the annexation Of the island, and
many Of the strongest Southern lead
ers were in favor Of capturing it at
all hazards. Look at the Democrats
who in 1898 spoke and wrote in ia
vor Of annexation and where are
they now? Even Col. Lewis fire.

After Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford had
given or were giving all they pos
sessed to establish an educational in
stitution of the colossal proportions
of the Stanford university we think
she had perfect right to protect her
husbands memory from the assaults
Of Prof. Ross and his sympathizers.
The allegation that Ross was dis
charged because he opposed Oriental
immigration and bi-metallism has
not leg to stand on. Mrs. Stanford
objected to the continued insinua-
tons and open charges against her
deceased husband, and we think she
was justly entitled to be indignant.

change the feeding ground of a bull that
was picketed out to grass on the farm,
last Sunday, when the animal suddenly
attacked him and before help could be
had, gored and tossed the unfortunate
man to death.
A young woman in the house at
tempted to attract the attention of the
bull but he chased her away and nearly
tore the clothes off her. She ran for
help to a neighbours, MI. Forsburg's and
one of the boys came on a horse and at.
tempted to drive the bull from his vic
tim, but the blood of the Infatuated beast
was up and he had by this time tram
pied and gored his victim into insensi-
bility. The animal was three years old
and had never been ugly. The wife of
the farmer had frequently cared for him
and he was supposed to be perfectly
gentle. MI. Eden was about so years of
age and was. highly respected by all in
the Svea neighborhood. ~~
