Mr.. Sylvester. The county au-
ditor's office is the most impor-
tant of all the county Offices and
a faithful, experienced, capable
auditor is not to be displaced just
to please a politician or two or to
give a job to some one who wants
it. The people of Beltrami county
have not grown less wise in the
past two years; they still know a
good auditor when they see one.
Mr., Sylvester has not time from
the duties of his office to race
around the county telling what a
good auditor he will make the
next two years. We believe the
people of the comfy will think all
the better of Mr.. Sylvester for

They have girls high school in Brooklyn and it is about as high as they make them. Still. the fact that it is not yet clear out of sight of other high schools is indicated by some spell ing that has just been done there. They had spelling bee, and class that was supposed to be able to hold the floor for an hour and a half went down in thirty minutes on the simplest words. One by one these bright, alert
 misses went down, not before the heavy artillery of our complex English speech, hut driven from the field by it's small arms. One spelled axle '.a-x-i-l, . and was ordered to sit down but was reprieved because she was a star mem Der of the botany class and the word as she spelled it was probably the only one of that pronunciation of which she had ever taken notice. Others spelled it 'a-x-e-r' and "a-x-u-l." Some in the chemistry class had not been as observ- ant as the botany girl, and laboratory" proved a staggerer to several of them. One who was making physiology spe- cial study spelled artery "a-t-e-r-y, and these are specimens of the way the general record ran.
 There are high schools that couldn't do much worse in spelling than the girls high school of Brooklyn, which fact is, We suppose, encouraging. But it would be still more encouraging if there were many high schools that could do much better.

Ujda. near the Algerian frontier. the Ioorish commander-in-chief has been obliged to disarm his men. as they were selling their rifles and cartridges to the rebels in order to obtain food. Before the breaking out of war in the Far East the Sultan was offered a loan by the Paris bankers on by no means dis advantageous terms. but the Moorish government objected to the placing of European officials in some of the GUS tom houses and the matter fell through. The pretender remains at Tesa. where he has rebuilt the damaged walls of the town, and although his forces are by no means formidable, it is improbable that the government will try to oust him. The failure of the sultan's au- tumn expedition, which never succeed ed in proceeding more than two days march east of Fez, discouraged any further attempt in that direction. Meanwhile the so-called loyal tribes have thrown off all semblance of gov ernment control.
 There are more uncomfortable coun- tries than the United States to live in.

Moreover, bad harvests have reduced the country population to great distress, and disturbances are looked for as 8 natural consequence.

THE CIN4L5N 7HE COURTS.

The Republic of Colombia took no- ton that it might be able to block the bargain pending between the govern ment Of the United States and the New Panama Canal Company. That bar gain involved, and still involves, the payment to the company of s40O00, 900 in lump sum. The interference of Co., lembia in this sale was attempted through an application to a depart mental court in France on the ground that the canal company was legally unable to transfer it's property without the consent of Colombia. The court has decided that the right which Co., lombia. once had of sanetioning such a transfer has passed to Panama, and that the company, holding a consent from Panama, may now proceed to sell it's property to the United States. Thus Colombia probably passes for good and all beyond the sphere of canal negotia- tions.
 So much for that A citizen of Chi eago, Mr Warren B. Wilson, has ap- piled to the courts for an injunction against the expenditure of any public
 money on the Panama canal. The ground on which, the injunction is ask ed is that the Spooner act, in which the appropriation was made, provides that the canal shall be on Colombian ter ritory' acquired from the government of Colombia,'' and contains sundry other conditions that are not compiled with. The bill was enacted when the acceptance of a treaty with Colombia by the congress of that country was expected, and before the Republic of Panama came into existence. Now the canal strip was, in fact, acquired from Panama, and is within the limits of the new State.
 Probably it will be found that no cit izen of Chicago can do much to delay work on the canal Mr. Wilson would be in better business trying to help re- duce Chicago's rapidly diminishing death-rate.

NOT JUST RIGHT.

Yesterday was as good day as usu- al for worshipping the Lord in the beauty of holiness, but it might have been a little more encouraging to the worshipDing Of Him in the beauty of new clothes. Still. the display was large. pleasing. instructive and com forting. and those who made it had reason to feel that they had done their duty by themselves and their fellow beings. Perhaps the display will be considered a hint by old and cold Win ter that it is time for him to let up on a suffering and snuffering multitude, but it is not safe to expect much from such a persistent and obstinate hanger on. He will probably not let up until he has to. Perhaps we are not going to have any summer to speak of this year. There was once year in this region when there was frost in every month, and there may be another such year. Of course nobody really expects it, but it is we'll to talk softly when talking about the weather Let us. however, go on as steadily as our rheumatism and other disabilities will permit, hop ing for joyous days when the corn leaves can be heard whispering to each other in warm contentment, and when it is hot enough for good ball playing. And if those days come let us not com- plain of them and wish for these. If anybody wants any more of these now is the time to say so.

The Empress Alix of Russia recently had her portrait painted by Fritz von Kaulbach. She retains her love for her old German home at Darmstadt, and loves to spend a few weeks there when ever she can. She dislikes politics and public ceremonies, and is of decidedly domestic disposition. She is fond of painting, and occasionally amuses her. self by making an omelette or a cup of coffee. She always goes about much at Darmstadt, doing her own shopping, and the boys and girls are specially in structed in the schools not to annoy her by following and staring at her. She speaks four languages, having learned Russian before her marriage In her own family English much spok- en- When she left Darmstadt after her latest visit she had tears in her eyes.

GIFTS IN THE NAVY.
Secretary Morton Calls Attention to
the Provisions of the Statute.

Secretary Morton has issued general
order similar to one recently issued to
the army, prohibiting the giving or re-
ceiving of gifts in the navy. After quot
ing the statute bearing on the subject Sec
rotary Morton says:
Instances in which the provisions of
the above mentioned law have not been
complied with, or in which its require
ments have been misconStrued or msin-
terpreted, have rendered advisable the
issue of this general order upon the sub
ject, that further violations of its pro-
visions, either express or implied, may
be prevented. 1t is, therefore direct ed
that hereafter the above mentioned stat
ute relative to giving and receiving gifts
presents or testimonials shall be strictly
construed, and that the intent, both ex-
press and implied. of the law shall be
fully complied with. No person under the
Navy Department shall himself receive
any gift, present or testimonial, nor shall
he solicit or contribute to any fund the
purpose of which may be to donate a gift
present or testimonial to any other per-
son in the government service
The department also considers that 1T
is an evasion of the spirit of this law to
solicit subscriptions for the purpose of
making such gift or present to a member
of the immediate family of an officer of
the naval service"

Bond, senior assistant physician at the
Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane,
on Wards Island. and one of the best
known alienists in New York. No particu-

Wards Island say that he was victim of

a general in the confederate army. DIR.
Bond graduated from the University OF
Virginia and took a course in medicine at
