ANOTHER SIDE.

In every time of great specu-
ltion a train of Individual disasters
serves to darken the general
brilliance of the financial success
ses that are brought before the
public. So the last fortnight has
left it's blight. According to a
special dispatch from Washington,
seven banks have been crippled
by the defalcations of their trust
ed officials who took flyers" in
the market. The "get-rich-quick"
temptation was too much for men
supposedly honest. AS showing
the widespread interest that was
taken in the recent Wall street
operations, the locations of the
affected banks is significant. The
teller of a bank in New Orleans
was found short $4,000, while the
cashier of a Niles, Mich, bank
defaulted in the sum of 100000.
Failures are reported in British
Columbia, Iowa and Vermont.
Two Pittsburg banks suffered
from the populations Of employees
who thought to reap a harvest in
Wall street, In each case specula-
ton was the immediate cause of
the downfall of officials. While
this is only the beginning it is
safe to assume that before the
record is closed the number of
defalcations will be largely in
creased. I'm this mania for
speculation nothing else was to he
expected. There was no rule
whereby man who bought North
ern Pacific above it's actual worth
had any right to expect a profit
by further increase in value.
Nor was there any reason why a
speculator could guess when the
stock would fall. So with great
many other stocks. The ''lamb''
had nothing to expect but a
shearing. But the magnet is
there. The straight and narrow
road to fortune seems very rough
when the Aladdin stories come
from New York. Gambling has
always enticed the weak minded.
Humanity easily loses it's head
over a few big profits.

THIRD-TERM BOOM.

Senator Depew is more eloquent
than convincing in the presenta-
ton Of his argument intended to
prove that it will be necessary to
elect Mckinley to a third term as
President of the United States in
defiance of the unwritten Ameri-
can law forbidding such course.
1t is Depew's contention that
there will be great danger in a
change of presidents in 1904.
The new Mckinley policies Of
imperialism and militarism need
for logical conclusion the same
strong hand which shaped them as
American policies in the first
place, McKinley's supporters,
Senator Depew asserts, "dread any
change in the substitution of
weak man." 1t is as certain as
fate that the American people will
be found to differ with Senator
Depew on this issue. Mckinley
has already been as highly honor
ed and as generously rewarded by
his country as any of his
predecessors in the presidential
Office. He has no reason to de-
mand more Of his countrymen than
they saw fit to give to even SO
popular leader as Grant. There
are many Americans who believe
that Mckinley has inaugurated a
policy, that Of a conquest and
forcible government of alien
peoples, which will yet destroy
the American Republic itself.
There would seem to be someth-
ing menacing in his election for a
third term on the ground that his
''strong hand" alone could be
trusted to carry out this policy.
It is evident, nevertheless, that
there is a movement under way
which contemplates the nomina-
ton and election Of Mckinley in
1904. Such a development is
significant. 1t is aleaping growth
of Capitalization toward the
principle of dynasty. The Ameri-
can people must be ready to ad-
minister, if necessary, rebuke
that will be remembered.

NEVER during the lifetime Of
the late Queen of England, save
in jubilee years, was her birthday
more widely observed than it was
last Friday. In previous years,
beyond the official demonstrations,
not much notice was taken Of the
occasion by the general public.
This year, however, a sentimental
idea seems TO have been present
in the minds Of everyone, and this
was intensified by the persona
request Of King Edward that the
day be observed as national Holt
day in preference to the anniver.

County School Notes.
By Supt. N. c. Mac donald.

Commencing with next mouth, teach
ers will report the result OF each monthly
examination to this Office. Report
blanks for this purpose have been prepar-
ed by the state department. This means
that the state superintendent requires
that the course be followed and that the
monthly review questions be used.
Progressive and up-to-date teachers will.
recognize this as move in the right
direction.
The state department has ruled that,
school supplies, including charts, may
be ordered at u legal meeting OF the
school board only, and if ordered
otherwise the members OF board are
personally liable for debts SO incurred.

THERE is broad field in North
Dakota for young men who have
fitted themselves by training for
expert work along agricultural
lines. In recent interview,
President Worst, Of the state
agricultural college, says: at is g
constant surprise to me that so
many applications come to the
college for trained men to take
positions as foremen of farms,
superintendent Of dairy plants
and for gardeners and poultry
men. Scores Of young men in the
state who are now working for
normal wages as unskilled
laborers on farms could, with
proper schooling, command good
wages as foremen in almost any
department of agriculture for
which they would fit themselves.
The demand for trained students
is constant and increasing. We
have many applications on file
that we have been unable to fill.
AT the same time we are frequent
ly asked to name town in the
state where a young lawyer could
locate with prospect of a clientage.
There is large and remunerative
field for young men trained for
some department of agricultural
science, and there is no danger
that the field will be overcrowded
for a generation to come. Pro
lessor Waldron received an ap-
plication this morning for ten or
twelve horticulturists at good
wages-wages in proportion to
their ability to do good work in
that department of agriculture.
North Dakota offers great induce
ments for young men who are
educated to do things

SOME idea of the size of the
state of Texas may be obtained
from the statement that the entire
population of the globe, 100000
600 people, divided into families
of five persons each, could be
located in Texas, each family with
halt an acre lot, and there would
stillremain 100000 vacant half
acre lots. If this estimate is
correct, the world is far from
being overpopulated at the present
time.

PAYING THE FIDDLER.

"He who dances must pay the
fiddler" is as true in a business as
a social sense. The law of COM
pensation prevails, notwithstand-
ing our efforts to get something
for nothing. For the past twenty
years the United States has been
visited with degree of internal
expansion equaled in no other
country except Germany. We
are now congratulating ourselves
upon our unprecedented com.
MERGE. Our exports are swelling
while our imports are shrinking.
The balance of trade is in our
favor, and largely, too. We are
prosperous. Soon our private and
public Golfers will be filled with
the wealth of the world. So we
say, and SO we think. But not
withstanding the fact that the
shipping books show a large
balance Of trade in our favor the
cash book shows balance against
us. What is the matter? Is the
bookkee2er classifying the record?
Not SO, he is honest. But we are
paying the fiddler. We had a
good time at the dance, and now in
the day of our prosperity the
fiddler demands his own. During
our boom days much foreign
capital was attracted to this country
and invested in securities and
stocks. To pay the interest OF
these securities and the earnings
on the stocks, an amount estimat-
ed from sl5O,000,000 to s2O0,OOO,.
600, is shipped abroad annually
Seventy-fve million dollars is
supposed to be spent in Europe
by American tourists and Ameri
can heiresses in search, ana in the
possession of titles. Another
sum, impossible Of determination
has been used in the actual taking
up of the foreign debts. Thes'
items are said to be sufficient t.
