pEMAGoGUEs ANp asses,

Gov. Toole, of Montana. has been play
ing to the galleries with a good deal OF
grace and still more Of poetry in con-
nection with the Northern Securities COM
pany for many weeks past. He had his
reward in the house Of representatives
day or two since when the irrepressible
and voluble Tawney denounced him as in
favor Of the so-called merger, and de-
clared that all true opponents of trusts
among whom, Of course, we all recognize
Tawney as leader-repudiated him.
When Montana politician declares
himself against something or somebody, it
is always safe to look around and see
whose string is tied to him. 1nere may
be no string attached to Gov. Toole, and
he may be acting, as other state execu-
tives nearer home are acting, on the as
sumption that his constituents who know
anything are demagogues and those who
don't should have straw fed to them, as
the most suitable diet, prescribed long
ago by an italian philosopher, for asses.
The distance between asses and dema-
gogues in politics is often hard to meas
ure; but the fate which overtakes each
species ultimately is the same.

CITIZENS NON-PARTISAN COMMIT
TEE NAMES A FEW CANDIDATES.
Ward Organization Only Reports,
but a Complete Ticket Will BE
Selected at a Later
Meeting.

Inc citizens non-partiSan committee,
growing out Of the consolidated commit
tee, held its second meeting at the rooms
of the Chamber Of Commerce in the En-
dicott building last night
AT the last meeting ward committees
were appointed with instructions to So
lect two Democrats and two Republicans.
one for alderman and the other for as
semblyman from each ward, and report
at last nights meeting. These names
were simply to be recommended to tho
executive committee, and that body was
to take final action on them. and indorse
the candidates if, they were found to be
worthy.
Owing to a slight misunderstanding in
regard to naming two candidates from
each party. the reports of the ward chair
man were not complete, and another
meeting has been called for Monday
night, at which it is expected that q full
report will be made by each committee
This report will simply be in the nature
of a recommendation to the executive
committee, and will not be the final &C
ton of the committee as the executive
committee, which Is composed of twenty
two members, will make the official in
dorsement.
The following candidates for the as
sembly and the council were reported for
recommendation by the chairman Of the
ward committees. The list is not COM
plete by any means, because. as was be-
fore stated, of the misunderstanding upon
the part of the committeeman, who were
appointed to each ward.
In the First ward the following were
recommended: J. E. Holt. Republican.
for alderman; Charles Farrier, Democrat,
for assembly. Second ward, Eleventh
ward and Fifth ward no report Seventh
ward, DIR. Rudolph Schifmann, Democrat,
and A. K. Pruden, Republican, for as
sembly, and J. W. L. Corning, Repub-
lican, for alderman. Ninth ward, John
German Democrat, for assembly, and
Ed Snodgrass, Republican. for alderman.
Tenth ward, Joseph M. Hackney, Re
publican, for alderman, and Rev. George
F. Innes, Republican. for assembly. In
the Sixth ward Paul Martin, Republican,
was recommended for alderman. and in
the Eighth E. L. Mayhem, Republican,
for alderman.
The chairmen of the ward committees
held a short session after the regular
meeting last night, and talked over the
situation and will be ready to report at
the meeting Monday night.

same thing for the Oriental countries.
The United States Is keeping $1,000 sell
diers Ia the Philippines to maintain her
prestige as a power in the Orient. What
is that power for? Not alone for the
pacification Of the islanders. Not for
show, let us hope. but to initiate a trade
that In the coming fifty years must
stand to us as we have stood for Europe
IN the last fifty. Are we going to
be equal to the job? Shall we muster
our forces upon such energetic and mas
sive lines as will give us not only an en-
tering wedge, but the power and capacity
to spread our goods abroad throughout
China and Oceania4 upon basis of profit?
The foreign devil' In China will soon
be the locomotive and the big steamship.
The foreign devil Of the United States
hereafter will be the European dollar
bonded upon our enterprises. 1t is essen
ual that now, If ever, we should all
awake to discriminating sense Of profits
In markets, and resort to all the usual
methods employed by wise men in pro-
noting trade with whomsoever. Let us
cease borrowing Of Europe, and use our
own money in ventures in Asia, Africa
and South America. Let the venture be
under whatever name it please - cor
porate or partnerships 1t be American
in citizenship and in residence. Let it be
millioned or billioned In capitalization
that is no matter, so it answers the pur-
pose Of bringing dollars home to the
United States. IF the steel trust can IN
no other way get hold Of the Chinese
market let it loan money to the i'm
perial government, and take customs du-
ties and imperial contracts as compensa-
ton. If st. Paul or Minneapolis mer-
chant or manufacturer expects to buy or
sell to the Orient, at a profit, he must
consider the methods he employs in North
Dakota or Northern Minnesota. It is an
intensely practical question-the "open
door and its opportunities Encourage
the best efforts of all our people and cast
the obstructionists, stumbling blocks and
Van SAINTS out of the way-where they
will not again be heard Of.

THE PUBLIC EXAMINER,S NEEDS
Mo more meritorious demand could ba
made than that which is involved in the
report Of Public Examiner johnson N,
department of the state government has
furnished fuller warrant for the favor
able consideration Of the legislature and
the executive than that
1t is to the discredit of the state that
the department of the public examiner
should be in such situation as 1t now
finds itself, without money to go on with
needful public business.
With only something like $500 on hans
which, even at the present ratio Of ex-
pense, will be exhausted by the first of
the coming month, the public examiner
Is confronted by the official obligation to
examine into and keep himself and his
department conversant with the condf-
ton of 23O banks, possessing assets of
$5GOoO00O besides having the further dufv
imposed on the department of keeping
itself Informed as to the condition Of To-
cal public offices. This, as we say. is a
most discreditable state of things. and
should not be allowed to continue.
With the funds of the office available
on the LIST of August to the amount Of
about $l25Oo. the state examiner throueb
tie governor places before the Legislature
the necessity Of providing a sufficient
amount which, with the sum available in
August, will amount to $4,000. This sum
is small in compassionate what TIL 9
Clio b e thinks It should be, and with
reference to the character and extent Of
the services which the public look to the
bank examiner to discharge.
The allowance asked should be grantees
at once. The fullest facilities should h.
offered to enable the Office to do ali tbo
business which devolves on 1t. That :,
should not have, been able. for want of
funds, to examine last year more tha,
two of the trust associations which exist
and that certain of the repositories n
the peoples funds-the savings banks ~
the state-should for the same reason
have gone rnexamined since 1897. Is in tt.
nature of public crime Nothing can be
said in extenuation of such a state Of
things.
The force which Mr.. johnson asks Is
none too large. 1t is not large enough
1t ought to have been fully provided for
by the legislature in its regular session
without giving any sanction whatever

GOOD YORK.

The action of the board Of aldermen
in passing the wine room ordinance in its
amended and perfected form is in the
highest manner commendable 1t should be
followed tonight by the assembly taking
corresponding action. Since Mayor Smith,
in the conscientious exercises of his execu-
tive duties, has been careful to relieve the
measure Of what might prove to be I'M
necessarily burdensome features there is
now no reason whatever why the regula-
ton should not be at once incorporated
in the city laws. With the excellent ad-
ministration of the police department
which the people Of the city are receiving
there is an absolute certainty that the or
dinance viii be strictly enforced, and that
the remnant of this social evil which still
exists will be driven under ground.
The Glob gives the aldermen who
opposed this measure credit for acting &C.
Aid Murphy that the measure was intro
duced for political effect, and with view
to embarrassing the city administration.
Admitting the correctness Of the alder
mans contention, it seems to L h e
G O e that he has stated a very good
reason why ALL Democrats in the council
should unite in it's passage. That gentle
man also contended that there are no
wine rooms If there are not, the regula-
ton certainly cannot do any harm. The
hardship involved in removing existing
partitions is not worthy of mention in
connection with the compliance that is
involved with a recognized public de-
mand.
No decent saIoonkeeper will be hurt by
the regulation. The saloons will not be

within the knowledge of all men. in a
greater or less degree within the past few
years. If there were any real opposition
to the regulation from the men engaged
in the retail liquor business it would
have made itself plain. There has not
been any such opposition; and the action
of the city administration in putting an
end to those places will receive the APP
proval of the people of every rank and
class.

''I guess that trouble is all over. We,

North Dakota again attempts to foist
any of it's insane subjects upon this
state" SO said State Agent W. A. Gates.
of the board of control, yesterday in
speaking Of the recent trouble at Moor
head. II guess we have discovered an
effectual way of stopping this practice.
When they find out that they are simply
making an expense for themselves by
this practice they will no doubt decide
that it is better to take care Of their
own patients.
THE patients had become so common
that it was necessary that some vigorous
steps be taken to put a stop to it. This
particular case was one of the least ag-
gravating Of many we have come across,
but it was an excellent one to make
test Of. We have others OF a more seri-
Gus nature which we will use If it be-
comes necessary to get busy again. We
have found cases where the authorities
Of that state admitted that they had
sent insane people into Minnesota to get
rid Of caring for them. We mean bust
ness and are determined to end this thing
for good and all. If occasion requires
we will use more vigorous methods than
we have thus far employed"

city visited as possible within the limit
ed time at his disposal, 1t also has been
decided to dispense altogether with mil
itary professions as features OF his re-
ception. Gen. Corbin, who has special
charge of the military arrangements has
arranged with the mayors Of the different
cities to be visited, and the officers OF
the national guards of the respective
states to provide cavalry troops as an
escort for the prince during his visit to
each city, and to confne the military
representation to such mounted troops.
Col. Barry, of the adjutant generals
department, has just returned from
visit to Boston, Albany, New York city
and Philadelphia, where he perfected ar
rangements with the local authorities for
mounted escorts to be provided by the
state national guard. Squadron "a, Of the
New York state troops, will be the
princes escort during his sojourn In New
Ycrk city. and the City Troop OF phil
adelphia will act in a similar capacity
in that city.
The making OF similar ARRANGEMENTS
in the Western cities to be visited has
been intrusted to Maj. Gen. Otis, COM
handing the department Of the lakes at
Chicago. Washington and st. Louis are
the only cities where escort duty will
be provided by the regular army.
