The City's Rulers.

A majority of the voters of the city Of Aberdeen
affiliate with the Republican party-are Republic
cans. BY virtue Of this fact the city has been gov
erned through the agency of the Republican party.
The good citizen, while submitting to majority rule,
cannot be blamed for some times questioning IS to
who runs the Republican party. What is usually
done at the polls is to merely ratify the action TAX
en- previously in the caucus. Then who controls
the caucus! Tradition says the saloon men and the
gamblers do that. Although only a small minority
they make their influence supreme by methods that
win. With them city politics is a matter of bust
ness to which they give their strict attention, while
with the average citizen it is a matter Of sentiment
which is usually neglected. For the next two
years Aberdeen will certainly have to deal with
most critical financial conditions. 1t will be a period
of large expenditure for improvements which are
absolutely essential to the safety of the city. For
these improvements a large bond issue will be
voted, provided the voter is not too distrustful of
the incoming administration
A leading business man of tho city, with fnan-
cial ability second to none in the state, was
petitioned to accept a non-partisan nomination and
accept the united support of taxpayers regardless OF
party who are apprehensive of financial troubles
and desire the safest possible administration. But
Mr.. Lincoln announced that his candidacy must be
submitted to the decision of the caucns which men
of his class are not usually able to control.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the active
element in city politics who control the Republican
caucuses and through them the Republican party,
and by it the city, may be gracious enough this
year to give the good people of Aberdeen a fal
better administration of city affairs than their civic
patriotism, too week as a rule to rise above party,
entities them to-.

Ipswich Democrat: Some day the state will
own a capitol building in keeping with its vast re-
sources and wealth, and if it should be located on
the red clay banks of the Big Muddy at Pierre.
how many citizens Of Edmunds county would ever
get a chance to see ita People coming or going
from the south or east must pass through Mitchell,
and the taxpayers would at least have the opportuni-
ty to get a look at the buildingthey helped to erect.
For selfish reasons we would of course prefer To
SEQ the capital located at Aberdeen, but if we can
do that let's do the next best thing, and this is vote
to locate it where it is most accessible to the people
of Edmnnds county and the great majority of all
the people of the state, at Mitchell.

Representative Lawson of Union county: The
capital is wnere the business of the state is trans

touch with every county seat in the state, as we'll
as with the different state institutions, hence it goes
without saying that the logical place for any state
capltails where lt'can communicate with the largest
population and be reached in the least possible time
by those who have business to transact.

many years, but the country has not developed.

From the Lewiston Journal.

Those of us interested in early
American history, whether absorbed at
school or acquired by maturer reading,
recall Benedict Arnold, his brilliancy
and treason, perhaps more wildly
than almost any prominent figure of
the Revolution.
The students of those times recall
that Washington sent him with LOO
soldiers on the i'll fated expedition to
Quebec in IT'S by the way of the Ken
nebec river and through the forests of
Maine. Two miles below Gardiner, in
Colburn's yard, his command halted
long enough to construct 200 bateaux
with which he proposed to transport
troops and supplies through the north
ern waters.
A week ago j Rafter and Abbot
Lord, Gardiner business men that fish
the river for sport, brought up in their
great sturgeon net, directly opposite
where the bateaux were built, an an
Choir, or grapnel which is undoubted-
ly a genuine Arnold relic. The stalk
is some four feet long, and carries
five curved arms welded to its base
1t was evidently fashioned of wrought
iron, over an anvil.
These anchors were thrown out
ahead of the bateaux, by which means
they were pulled through rapids and
swift water. For 129 years the an
Choir remained in the waters of the
Kennelbec, to now come to light a
mute but eloquent reminder of the
man who betrayed his country.

THE weather during the week was
warm and dry in the northern and cen

the 9Th and the 7th in portions of the
southern section, damaging open cot
ton and retarding picking. Cotton is

complaint of scarcity of labor in

ever, the output promises to be above
the average in many sections.
The reports of counties are as fol-

SURPRISE FOR BIG GRIZZLY.

While Examining a Camera.

From the San Francisco Call.
Bert Gibbs is the amateur photogra-
pher bear hunter of all Round valley.
But he doesn't hunt that class of sub
jects since a big Mendocino grizzly
took his camera away from him. He
had shot everything in his neighbor-
hood. and to his priced collection of
snaps of living birds, squirrels and deer
he longed to add the photograph of
live bear-one with fierce, whiskered
phiz, with tongue lOlling out and eyes
cleaning in all the savage fire of low
est brutedom.
He was brave. was Bert, and filled
with the enthusiasm of the true "hend"
took his solitary way in the far woods
armed with his loaded picture box.
While cautiously beating up a buckle
berry patch, trying to flush his bear,
he fell over a bank and badly sprain-
ed an ankle. After lying all night dis
abled where he had fallen he con-
cluded that he was doomed to remain
there till he starved to death. He pho
tographed IN his mind his emaciated
body found days hence, and the sad
idea came to him to take a last "shot"
at himself. He had heard that people

would do this, and the faithful camera
would give up a farewell view of him
taken while dying.
Then he fastened a string to the shut
ter of the machine, placed it on a log
and was beginning to look natural
before 1t when a huge grizzly numbered
out of the brush lanche. Gibbs heaved
himself in one mighty spring. His an
kle was disabled, but he found no diff
ficulty in getting up a nearby tree. The
bear paid no attention to him, but,
squatting on his launches. proceeded
to instruct himself in camera craft He
picked it up with his forepaws and
was making a minute examination with
eyes and nose when the shutter snapp-
ed. The sharp sound frightened him,
and, dropping the box, he galloped off
into the woods
Gibbs came down from the tree cured
of the sprain, picked up his camera
and went home. Then he developed the
photograph which the grizzly had taken
of itself with the last shot he had re-
served for himself.

That weather Will Play Important
Part in Market Next Week.
New York, Sept. 13.-There appeared
to be more support to the market this
morning and though prices lost ground
after the weekly report, the general
undertone was extremely steady. Ear
ly in the day prices advanced rather
sharply to 10.35c for January. after
which the market slipped off to 1020c.
The report was mainly concerned with
the damage in Texas, but elsewhere
conditions seemed to be fairly good
There was nothing in the statement,
however, to encourage short selling at
present prices and the main feature of
the day was short covering. Prices
have declined about a cent a pound,
the question Of frost has still to be de-
cided, and the supply of contracts in
New York is altogether too small to
warrant extensive operations on the
side of lower prices. There is an ac-
tive demand for export which is rap
idly taking all the cotton coming in
and under these conditions very little
cotton is finding its way to New York.
Weather has been very favorable for
picking thus far but we are fast APP
preaching the equinoXial storm period
and it is more than likely that weather
may not be as favorable after this
week. Anything like unfavorable
weather now would have a decided eff
feet on the market and for this reason,
we would rather buy cotton on all soft
spots, and would hardly remain short
on this decline. There seems to be a
growing impression that cotton at 10
cents at this season cannot be con-
sidered high.
