THE RIGHT WORDS.

The Union and Confederate soldiers
of the civil war have ever had pzee
found respect for their armed oppo-
neRts Of those dark days. They best
understood the sufterinRs and sacri-
fees Of those who met them in the
field. In the south the Confederate
soldiers have been as rule among
those most willing to ''let bygones be
bygones." As brave men who risked
their liyes for what they had been
taught 10 believe were their rights,
they have looked with horror on the
burning Of human beings, no matter
how low and depraved the victims
might be. 1t is not remarkable, there
fore, that the first ringing southern
protest against the burning Of negroes
comes from southern soldiers. The
W. B. Barksdale camp OF United Con-
federate Veterans, at Grendaa, Miss,
recently adopted and published the
following resolutions:

.LADDS GREAT WORK.

The most remarkable record made
by any North Dakota Official, says the
Minneapolis Journal, is that of the
pure-food commissioner, Prof. E. F.
Ladd, of the state agricultural college
at Fargo. On a total appropriation
Of 81, 500 q year MIR. Ladd :is doing very
effective work in improving the quail
ity of foods sold in North Dakota,
and in educating the people to bar
impure goods from the state. During
one session, when the bill had fair
prospects, meeting of wholesalers
held at Grand Forks pulled enough
wires to have it buried. Last session,
however, the demand came from the
organized retailers, and: the measure
was successful. When the amount
OF the appropriation became known
there was an exchange OF smiles in
some quarters where pure-food law
was not popular. But, by working
hard, Mr.. Ladd has accomplished
things. It's said that the retail gro.
GERS of the state will ask the next
legislature for q larger appropriation
tor that department.

Ia Etnmohs co6ntyt The leditor OF
the Record is a candidate for the lower

Of the session will find him in attend
ance there; and to the best of his
ability he will strive, If chosen, to
properly represent the people of EN-
mons county in the legislature. He
has no money to use illegitimately in
the campaign, and be would not 50
use it If he had. On his side, at least,
the campaign shall be fairly and
sQuarely fought. No one has had-or
shall have-cause, after the fight is
ended, to accuse him of double deal
ing. During his twenty years. resi-
dence III this COUNTY he has seriyen,t ,ta
conduct himself as an honest man.
And he will not, while going down the
hill Of life, give cause for deserving a
different reputation. II elected, he
will thoroughly appreciate the favor.
If defeated he will. not complain, and
he certainly Will not bear malice
against any man who by fair means
assists in Its accomplishment. BUT
he hopes, and sincerely believes, that

be allowed to win IN this campaign.

1t is rep6rted that John McCrory's d

vacant shacks with them as they were

for which there was no room. There
were 1900 or l,7QQ head In this bunch,
and, in spite OF the efforts Of the
Tuntlands, 800 or 400 are reported to
be dead.
Word comes that Lincoln Gray, a

Or 400 head Of sheep. But no definite
reports a. to the losses in the McCrory

Twenty.three head of cattle were
