If there ever is u reform in politics
and the methods in conducting elections
it must emanate from = democratic
source. For several years the demo.
cratic party of North Dakota has
endesvored to Introduce the primary
election method. and for that purpose
have been introduced into the leRisla.
ture by democratic members. but
because they emansted from democrats,
they were invariably defeated. The
democratic state platform for this year
repeated the demand for 4 primary
election law, while the republican plat.
form VAS silent on that question. But
now. the more progressive republicans
are clamorinR for = primary election
law, and it begins to look - though tho
honest people of the state may yet be
given . chance to say something IN
regard to nominations in the future.
Now that the election is over and the
politicians have won out the Grand
Forks Herald comes to the front and
let's the cat of the bag in an editorial
from which the following paragraph 10
taken:
At the session of 1901 Senator Cashel
introduced bill which provided for thu,
application OF the direct primary vote t"
all Offices, sbo|isI'ing the nominating
convention entirely. IL the meantime
there hxd been = great deal Of Discus.
sion o. The merits Of the direct primary.
and there Vas strong popular sentime III
in favor of the passage Of this bill. So
strong was this sentiment that it was
r. dected in the hou-e and senate aud
vigorous work on the part of tho opon-
ents OF the principle was needed TO
prevent the passage of this bill. One
argument advanced was that il would
not do to permit a democratic mem Dor
TO bave the credit which would surely
be given him If the hill became . law.
By the use Of this and other arguments
the measure Vas killed by parliament
tary practice.

FISHBURNE MILITARY SCHOOL.

FISHBURNE MILITARY SCHOOL.
Last week the Fishburne Military
School closed a most successful session
with interesting exercises. The pro-
gram included destinations, oratiOns
and debates, followed by the awarding
of diplomas, distinctions and medals.
The long list of those distinguished in
their studies attests the splendid work
of both pupils and instructors. Gold
medals were presented to fourteen
young men who went through the ses-
sion without receiving demerit, and
number of badges were given those
having clean record for neatness of
rooms. The speakers medals we're
awarded as follows-Orators, L. H..
King, Tenn; debaters, II. W. Nan
crede, Mich; disclaimers, j. A. Jen-
kins. KY. The medal for the best
drilled cadet was awarded to Frank

Daniels the editor permitted his friends
to do so. But what is more alarming
yet is that the militia Of the State had
off cred their services in the event the

In our own State Judge Waddell has
issued contempt proceeding within
the last few days for a very prominent
lawyer at Norfolk, citing him to appear
to show cause why he should not be
fined for contempt for instituting a
suit which the Judge thinks interferes
with an injunction awarded by him.
The thing is growing monstrous. and
we believe unless checked will result
in most alarming consequences. The
grasping Of Federal Judges is beyond
comprehension, and they are constant
ly inaugurating such doubtful and
unheard Of measures that clash is
bound sooner or later to come. They
cannot see that every day they are
bringing their courts into public con-
tempt, and if change does not take
place many evidences will show that
the public does hold them in contempt
even though it may be dangerous for
the press to point out the manner OF
the eGense.

AnInferesiina Occasion.

Churchville. June G. The Picnic al d
Antique Art Exhibit mentioned n
your paper of May 9th. was a perfe,
success, aud a very enjoyable occasion.
The tables were loaded with every
thing nice, that appeals to the natur |
appetite. With jest and laugh the
merry company fingered for an hour
appropriating the dainties prepared
with so much care, and then assembled
on the airy veranda OF DR.. Jones, where
they were entertained with music and
recitatlons by Misses Butcher of Bridge
water. Miss Davis OF BerliltOn, Miss
Burton OF Churchyille, and little Miss
SigafOOse of Stokesville.
This little fraulien OF perhaps seven,
happy. summers with her red gold, hair,
sky blue eyes, and transparent com-
plexion delighted the audience with
song and dance. The dattering ap-
plause accorded the graceful merry
maker, seemed to have no bad effect,
while she closed her performance with
a Durlesque on the ''cake walk"
Among the ancient art goods on ex-

They were convicted and sentenced for

trial, though they were Americans

confirmed that verdict; four opposed

Contempt" is growing to be most
common word about our Federal
Courts. 1t seems almost impossible
nowadays to open ones mouth or go
about the ordinary avocations of life
without being ''horsed" up before a
Federal Judge for contempt. Over in
West Virginia there have been hun
dreds of contempt proceedings before
the Federal Judges. Only last week
Judge jackson at harrisburg pro.
nonnced sentence on no les than a
dozen men who were lin contempt
OF his court, and at Charleston there
are no end of cases On the docket. A
poor miner out in that section seems
always to be in contempt of everything
and everybody, especially of a Federal
Judge. 1t is stated that from so to 100
persons have been killed in that State
within the last two years by Deputy
U. s. Marshals IN making arrests on
U. s. Court contempt proceedings.
Twenty eight were butchered one
morning, we learn, by possee of Off
GERS with warrants in their hands for
Contempt proceedings.
In Raleigh, North Carolina, few
days ago All editor of one of the most
prominent newspapers in the State,
was arrested and fined $4,000 because
he chose to criticise the action of
Federal Judge down there who had ap-
pointed receivers for railroad. This
has we'll nigh led to riot in that State.

to pay the fine and it would have been
subscribed many times over had Mr..

TRAGEDY AT BR0WNsBURG
Recalls the Walker-Miller Feud Of Ia
Years AGO,

A special from Lexington on Monday
says: Saturday night Edward McCor
mick shot and killed John w. Wade
and Arthur Blackwell, who had way
laid and stoned him at Brownsburg,
sixteen miles from here. The men had
been enemies for three years, and the
trouble this morning was the result of
a drinking bout.
Henry A. Mccormick, a farmer,
and his son, Edward Mccormick, aged
70 years, in the early part of the night
had an alteration with John w. Wade.
son of Love s. Wade, a farmer, who
resides three miles from BrOWnsburg,
and Arthur blackwell, q son of W. II.
Black well, OF Decatur, at a store in
Brownsburg.
"When the McCormicks started for
home they were warned to look out
for the other parties, as they had, it
was alleged, made threats against the
McCormicks. When the McCormicks
arrived at a Mr.. Smallwood's house,
they were greeted with a shower oil
stones from Wade and Blackwell. One
stone struck the elder Mccormick,
Young Mccormick opened the fire with
his revolver, and shot Wade through
the left side, from the effects of which
he died in fifteen minutes. Blackwell
Was shot through both lungs, from th'
left side, and died instantly.
"McCormick was arrested today and
the preliminary trial was held befor'
| Mag istral es BOlen and Parker il
Browpsburg. Lawyers from Lexing
ton appeared as his counsel. Wad
and Blackwell were each about 20 year
| old.
'This second tragedy in Bro wnsburs
| recalls the great Walker-Miller TRACED
there fourteen years ago, when in
magistrate g court DR.. and Mrs. q L
Walker and Henry Miller were kille
and several of Miller's sons wounded.
