The Japanese shopkeepers <use the
abacus, or sorOban, SO universally that
the stranger quickly comes to realiz-
ing sense of the absence of all mental
calculation in the empire In lieu Of
paper and pencil any child or adult
will at once take up the soroban when
given problem in mathematics and
rattle its beads about as though he
were amusing himself. The principle
Of the little instrument is this: Each
Of the five beads in the broad lower
division of the board represents one
unit, and each solitary bead in the mar
row upper division represents five
units. Each vertical column is thus
worth ten units. Each vertical column
represents units ten times greater than
those in the column Immediately to the
right of it, exactly as in our own sys-
tenn of notation by means Of the Ara
bic numerals. Any sum in arithmetic
can be done on the soroban, even to
the extraction Of square and cubic
roots.

PROVIDENCE AND


The democrats think to make
a great point by asking if the
republican party can claim the
credit for the sunshine and rain
which have given us such splen-
, did crops during the admins
trations Of Mckinley and Roose-
welt. Such claim, however, is
not made by the republican par
ty. 1t is most cheerfully con
ceded that the splendid increase
OF our corn crop of about five
fold and our six fold increase Of
wheat are due to natural cOndi-
tions, and that full credit should
be given to an all-wise Provi-
dence, who has through His sun
shine and rain brought about
this enormous increase in our ag-
ricultural products. But the re-
publican party does make claim
to the increase in price which
the farmer now receives for his
splendid crops, over the low
prices which he received during
the last democratic administra-
ton. That is where Providence
and protection work so well to-
gether.
Moreover, the republican par
ty does make claim, and can we'll
substan tiate it, that our thirteen
fold increase of manufactures
under the operation of protec-
ton, has been entirely due to
that policy which has built up
a home market, and purchas-
ing power which has made a de-
mand to such an extent that the
products of our factories and
mills have put us way in advance
OF any other manufacturing ma
tlon on tine face of the earth. The
fact that our manufactures have
increased twice as rapidly as our
agricultural output, is proof
that a protective tariff is directly
responsible for this great out
put, which is dependent alone
upon the labor of man without
regard VITO climatic or natural
conditions; and there is no doubt
that with con tinuance of our
present policy of protecting our
labor and industries, both on the
farm and in the factory, our ad-
vance in industrial supremacy
will continue for many years to
come in the same proportion as
it has done during the last forty
years of repu blican administra-
tlon, and the operation of tar
III that protects both labor and
capital.

The Minneapolis Journal O

The Minneapolis Jonrnal of
the l4th contains an article re-
lating to'politics in Ward county,
n. d., where l.. j. Palda, a one
time resident Of .1ilbank is can
didate for district judge as a
democrat or Independent. He
was previously elected Judge as
a republican, though he was
known as democrat while in
Milbank and just before going
to North Dakota. The Judge
seems to be one Of the fellows
who can make a lightning change
IN politics. The correspondent
says:
The county central committee head
quarters resemble the headquarters of
a state organization in the amount of
work being done. Oyer half a million
circulars will be sent out, and com
with this week speaking
campaign will be carried to every
town in the county. When it is re-
membered that ward county is larger
than Connecticut, has a popul alton of

The Pierre people cannot pre-

their time wailing that the sup
porters of Mitchell are injuring

little ground there is for their

The capital removal question
is simple: Shall the capital be
moved to Mitchell, where it will
be convenient to the people of
the state, or shall it be left at
Pierre, where it will be conven-
lent to the ranchmen and such
new settlers as may locate in
that country in the course of

our opinion the capital ought to
be placed where it will be con-
venient to the people who are
here now, who have made South

The Review heralded the re.
suits of the primaries as a great
anti-machine victory, when one
of the principal anti-machine
leaders was knocked out by
nearly one hundred majority for
his opponent, The Twin Brooks
News, which strongly supported
the ''anti' side, was fair enough
in it's presentation of the result
to make the following statement
Of the case, which is the repub-
lican and truthful view of the
matter, the candidates having
been elected largely through
their merits or personal popu-
larity:
Neither the "antis' nor the "ma-
chine' can claim the honors. An in
telligent vote from the republicans of
Grant county has given both factions
equal hOnOrs, smOothcd over the diff.
cultles, and placed in nomination the
men that are the choice of the major
ity of the republicans of Grant county.
The Review as democratic
organ of necessity is always
against the "machine," as the
machine" to the Review simply
means the organization Of the
a disorganized and
fac ction- worked party always
makes it possible for the cleo
tion of a democratic candidate
in one or more cases.
