GUNS SAVED,

The Cruiser Was Destroyed to
Keep Her from the
Japanese.
Russian Irritation over a sugges-
ton Of a Congress to Settle
the War.

ST. Petersburg, May $3.50 D. m.
The report that Rear Admiral Jes-
sen, finding 1t impossible to save the
protected cruiser Bogatyr, which went
ashore recently in fog on the rocks
of Vladivostok, caused her to be
blown up, is confirmed.
The guns of the Bogatyr were re-
moved before she was destroyed. No
loss of life attended her destruction.
st. Petersburg, May 23.-Consider-
able irritation is manifested by the
papers over the suggestion made by
Dubail, the French minister at Pes
king. that congress Of the powers be
held for the purpose Of effecting
conclusion Of the war. The Novoe
Vremya says:
The war is Russia's personal affair
and she asks no ones assistance.
When it Is ended she will negotiate
Therefore we regret that the repre-
sentative of Russia's ally should be
the first to pronounce the word 'con-
gress.'
The same paper, speaking Of the
reception OF the news Of the japanese
naval disasters by the British press,
says:
The hymn Of uninterrupted tri-
unph by Japan which was sung by
the friendly choir of the English press
has been changed by a few pounds Of
dynamite from allegro maestoso to
agitato assai.''
The Chinese minister says China will
not seek to participate in any congress
at the conclusion Of the war. Her
negotiations will be direct with the
power occupying Manchuria. The min
lister continues to insist that China is
determined not to become involved in
the war.

Some will tell you to forget all that
has been said or done in the campaign
just closed. Don't do it. Forget all
the little chickering's, jealousies and
hard words that have passed but re-
member the issues which were pre-
sented. Do not forget that even though
a wrong principle succeeds at the polls
it does not make it right. Gangism
is as much an issue before the people
of Bottineau county today as it was
before Nov. s. The deputyship con-
tract made at Westhope is just as
much brazen fraud upon the people,
Just as much breach of the sacred
trust the people give to their servants,
now that the voters have swallowed
it, as it was before. The issues will
live. Defeat cannot crush them. They
will run the gauntlet of public criti-
ci3m for two years more and until the
awakened conscience of the people
shall proclaim against gangism and
graft.

Good Government Wins.

A magnificent demonstration of the
independence of the voters of Mime
sofa is the election of John A. johnson
and the very probable election of
Fendan G Winston. Mr.. Winston
estimates his own vote at about 10 per
! cent less than that of Mr.. johnson.
In view of the fact that they made
the campaign together it will doubt
less be found that they ran about as
nearly together as Mr.. Winston es-
timated they would.
Consider the situation for a mo-
ment. Here we have plurality for
Mr.. Roosevelt of about 80, 900 and at
the same time an emphatic plurality
for the gubernatorial candidate of the
opposing party. Republican nominees
for the first Office in the state have
run behind the presidential ticket be-
fore, but never has the "spread' been
such tremer dous one as it is in this
case
In lesser degree, but to noticeable
! extent, this electoral phenomenon was
| witnessed in other states at yesterday s
election.
1t is hopeful sign-this independ-
ence in politics. 1t means that the
people think hard when they find
themselves in the polling booth with
the ballots spread out before them E;
that they let their consciences work
while they mark their ballots.
Minnesotans have especial reasons
to be proud, for if enlig htened polite
al independence was ever exemplified
anywhere it was in this state
yesterday.
Such results are at the same time a
tribute to the Australian ballot Under
the old system there was little
scratching" as compared with what
is done now. There may have been
the same incentives. but there was not
the same opportunity in the manner
in which the ballots were prepared
and presented, and the polling meth.
DDS in vogue.
| Another illustration of this independ-
ent spirit is to he found in compar-
ison of the votes for mayor, governor
and president. We find the same
voters lin Minneapolis who marked
their ballots for the republican elect
oral ticket and the for the democratic
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor, returning to republicanism
again and voting for the. republican
nominee for mayor.

buke to corrupt gang methods in. the
election of johnson as governor of
Minnesota is worthy of note. Although
Roosevelt carries Minnesota by nearly
80, 900. the democratic gubernatorial
candidate wins by %. 900. This means
that over SO, 600 people have awakened
to the danger of gang rule in Mime
sofa and have done honor to their state
in protesting thus clearly against un-
clean men and unclean methods. We
can also rejoice in the election Of Gov.
La Toilette in Wisconsin. A clean
man with the peoples interests at
heart, he has fought for the position
against every influence that corrupt
gangs could bring to bear to defeat
him. In fact in every part of the
country there is every evidence Of an
awakening public conscience which
goes outside of party lines to rebuke
dishonest men and strike at corrupt
machine politicians.
