THE LIFE TRAGEDY OF JOSIAH TURNER

The death of Hon. Josiah Turner
at Hillsboro a few days ago was the
last act in one of North Cardinals
most notable tragedies. Few lives
better illustrate the fckleness of
popular favor. At one time Mr..
Turner was the idol of the States
white population, and justly so.
Ten years later he was expelled from
the State Legislature because of adif
ioulty with some colleagues, and the
resolution of expulsion had not been
expunged at the time of his death.
Whats yer his faults, the fearless old
nan deserved better things of the
State to which he one time rendered
such conspicuous service. Perhaps
Ghe best brief account of Mr.. Tur-
ner's career is this from the Will
mington Star:
"When Joe Turner died n of the
truest North CarOlinians, n of the
most uncOmpromising Toes of cor
ruptior, and one of the most fearless
and ~forceful editors who ever welded
a pen in this State, passed away.
During the memorable RECONSTRUCT
ton period, when corruption held
high carnival in this State, with
headquarters at Raleigh, he stood
the fearless sentinel, and as editor of
The Sentinel attacked the corrup-
~ruptionists and with whitening in
vective exposed them and their vii
lainy. For months ne went in and
out among them, and carried his
life in his hands. There was no
man in North Carolina whom they
hated or feared more, and no man
who did more to rout shem and
drive them from the State. He
didn't know what the word policy

On the date of this issue of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER elections of
State officers are TO be held in Massa
chus etts, Rhode Island, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska. Of more
interest," to us and to the public gen
orally, however, is the contest in
New York City. There the fight is
against the corrupt Tammany organ.
ization that has long plundered New
York City. Tammany claims so be
a Democratic organization, but it
cares nothing for political principles.
It's motto is Plumber, not Principle,
and its defeat is, as the Worlds
Work pertinently remarks, a matter
not of politics but of decency. It is
a matter of common knowledge that
the Tammany government is in
league with organized vice and
crime, giving such ~lawlessness police
protection in exchange for tribute
money regularly collected.
1t does not materially help matters
that it was this year forced into the
nomination of a decent man, Mr..
Edward M. Shepard, for mayor. Mr..
Shepard alone cannot right the long
standing abuses of government, and
he will certainly not have Tam
many's support in that direction.
His opponent is Seth Low, ex>Presi.
dent Of Columbia University, sup
ported by the Republicans and indie
pendent Democrats. Four years ago
Mr.. Low was a candidate for the
same position, and was then warmly
supported by Shepard, who said
"The most burning and disgraoeful
blot upon the municipal history of
this country is Tammany Hall" We
believe Mr.. Shepard was right then,
and Tammany is not one whit better
to-day.
Mr.. Lows election would be a great
victory for clean and honest govern
ment. While Mr.. Shepard and one
or two of his running mates may be
personally unobjeotionable, we be
lieve that it may be said of them as
Mr.. Shepard said of the 1892 can
didates in an Atlantic Monthly ar
ticle that we found among some old
papers last week:
GAS sometimes, though very rare
ly, has happened with successful
candidates of the machine, it is pos
sible shat after all they may have
the necessary ability, and may have
the of right and force of CHAR
acter TO use ii in the public Interest,
If that turn out to be the case, those
who selected them will be as much
shocked as the community will be
rejoiced. They were chosen from
among the large body of men coun
ted upon to do absolutely, and with
out troublesome protest, the will of
the powerful politicians, with no
official responsibility who nominated
them, and who are tolerably skillful
in Judgment of this kind of hu-
man nature. But subject to that
consideration Trmmany Hall pre-
ferred for candidates men having as
much personal and popular respect,
or at least as little popular dislike or
d~isrespeot, as public men could have
who should seem fully to meet so
unworthy a test"

the end of it's new extension west from
Bottineau, a line already under con-

numerous settlers who have taken up
lands Ia the Turtle mountains and the
Mouse River valley in recent years.

THE Observation-Disclosures CASE:

TILE GUSSNER-HAWKES CASE
Enrno ons County Record: Last

doings by stating that the case Of Geo.

ing OF tricks that are vain in ways
that are dark secured from George
Gussner,. the Bismarck merchant, sew
.eral hundred dollars with which to go
east and buy stock. Gussner claims
that he was to buy young cattle at
from SIT to $1S per head. When Rob-
1nson returned with the cattle his
price was $21 each, which Gussner
naturally did not wish to pay. He re-
fused to receive the cattle at the high
est price. Thereupon Robinson sold
the cattle to Hawks. Gussner gave
bonds. and replevined the cattle from
Hawks. Messrs F. H. Register and G.
w. Lynn appeared for Gussner and H.
A. Armstrong for Hawks. The case
was fought tenaciously, Armstrong
making a particularly energetic effort.
The critical point in the legal battle
was on the motion of Armstrong to
take the case from the jury and rem
der a decision in favor of Hawks.
Now, there was no dispute as to the
fact that Gussner had been swindled,
but there was no proof that; Hawks
was party to the sWindle, and he
had apparently bought the cattle in
good faith after Gussner had refused
them. Taking this view. of the case,
Judge Winchester took the case from
the jury and directed verdict in
Hawks favor. 1t is understood that
the case will go to the supreme court.

asks PARDON ? | |. FOR VIM. .LAN|.
State Board Of Pardons Considering
Applications for Clemency at
Meeting Today.
Attorneys Bangs and Hamilton Appear
Before the Board in Behalf of
45ts* ~es T. William Law, -
Sentenced to Life Imprisonment Several
Years Ago for Murder Of Evan
Z. Paulson Of Mayville.

"A The state board of pardons is hold
ing Its regular meeting at the state
capitol today, with Governor White,
Judge Wallin, Attorney Genera, Com
stock and Messrs r. S. Adams of Lis
bon and T. E. Fox Of Willow City in
attendance. There are several arpli-
cations for clemency before the board,
which are being considered at this
meeting.
The most interesting case that came
before the board this afternoon is the
application made for the pardon of
William Law, sentenced from Mayville
for life Imprisonment in the peniten-
t1ary for the killing of Even Paulson,
a night watchman, several years ago.
There were two men arrested and SEN
fenced for this crime, the other one,
Kelly, now serving a life sentence with
Law. Paulson was found dead in the
morning, and Kelly and Law were ar
rested, being suspected of having bur
i
sglarized a business place and of hay
ing killed Paulson. The evidence
against Law was entirely circumstan-
tlal, and the attorneys who appear to
urge his pardon claim he never should
have been convicted upon the evidence
that was presented. "A transcript OF
this has been obtained and will be pre-
sented for the consideration of the
state board. Several attempts have
been made to secure the pardon o1
Law, the last one having been made
by the Knights Of Pythias Of which
order Law was a member. A re-
monstrance containing large number
OF signatures was presented and The
pardon was denied.
:, This time the knights Of Pythias
are again endeavoring to obtain par.
don for Law, and Attorneys J. G. Ham.
1lton and Tracy r. Bangs of Grand
Forks appear to urge the pardon. Nc
remonstrance has been filed and the
application is indorsed by the states
attorney of Traill county. The argu-
ments are being presented to the
board this afternoon.
