one of the things most satisfactory
to republicans in the recent campaign
is the fact that in number OF in
stances insurgent candidates we're
"hoist with their own petard. They
had advised republicans to vote with
the democrats for governor and SUI
prcme judge; but such voters fire.
quently took the bit in their teeth
and voted the entire democratic tick
ct, much to the surprise and chagrin
Of the insurgent candidates that were
defeated.
Probably NO defeat OF "A candidate
in North Dakota was more satisfac-
tory to loyal republicans than that of
James Mccormick. the insugent's boss
of Ramsey county. This gentleman,
though protesting to be q republican,
had been very prominent in the effort
to amalgamatc the democratic and in
surgent vote Of Ramsey county against
Sarles and knauf. But he had over
done the thing. He had converted 50
many republicans of the county to the
Grand Forks Herald theory that the
republican vote of the state was too
large and should be reduced that they
neglected to stop at the scratching Of
the two republican candidates against
whom his attack was chiefly directed,
but did lot of scratch work with
the other candidates. As result,
when the votes In Ramsey had been
counted 1t was found that the bcllicose
Jimmy had fallen under the avalanche
Of his own starting. and the democrat
who was running against him for
county commissioner was elected.

Then there is Senator Maynard
Crane, OF Griggs county, who with
Senator Macdonald, of this county
we're the only republican members Of
the legislature THAT bolted the repub
lican caucus which nominated Sena
tor McCumher two years ago. Mr.
Crane is another insurgent who wa.

How You Feel About Il.

Oh. Joy. oh. sorrow. what are your
They tell me just a state OF mind.
And maybe that Is more than true.
Though to 1t I am somewhat blind.
II that's the case I'd think one could
Arrange a wire or dynamo
And touch a button and feel good
Although his luck were running low.
How pleasant everything would be
If we could only make the choice.
From sorrow be forever free
And all the livelorg day rejoice!
We'd wrap our cares up In a sack
And to our troubles tie a can
And tell them never to come back
On this great think = you're happy
plan.
When we had lost our watch and
Or some real money in q deal
We would not at our luck complain,
But would quite blithe and happy
feel,
And when the bill for wifey's dress
Carne rolling In and found US broke.
Although a laugh We might suppress,
We'd say 1t was a dandy joke.
II thinking brought the thing about.
We'd laugh until our sides were sore
II we had toothache or the govt,
And cOrns would fairly make us oar
II woe came looking for a bet.
We'd call a showdown mighty quick.
But. oh. I greatly fear as yet
That few Of us a turn the trick!

Filthy COnditionslA AT Yards.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Building Com
missioner Harlem and twelve deputy
building inspectors went to the stock
yards today to make az inspection of
every building in the place. The
commissioners declared1before leaving
the city hall that he would compel the
packers to correct every violation OF
the building ordinances that might be
found.
The first place we visited was the
hog plant OF n of the0large packing
houses and 1t was found tina the'stair.
ways and fire escapes :were not sufi.
GENTLY ample for the number of EN-.
ployes and the owners of the plant
were instructed to put from one to two
stairways in all the buildings of the
plant. They promised ito do so at
once.
Commissioner Harlem personally
went to the hog killing department Of
one Of the large packing houses aud
described the conditions he found
there as ''dlthy and dirty" He char.
acterized the room as: a ''dirty hole,
unfit for the uses to which it is put"
From the hog killing department, he
went to the portion of the plant where
cattle were killed and dressed. Here
the walls were covered with calcimine
scarcely dry. After going through
this building the commissioners left for
his Office in the city hall. He said be.
fore leaving the stock,y ards, that there
is not a modern building in the entire
district devoted to the packing in.
dustry. The majority of them, he de.
clared, ''are dilapid ated, filthy and
unfit for the use made of them"
He directed that the inspection
should be of the most thorough char.
acter and the work will not be COM
pleted inside Of four or five days.

DepOrtiug Anarchists.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The state
department absolutely refuses to di.
vulge any information it may have
regarding an alleged plot to assassin.
ate the king Of Italy, the king of
Spain and other sovereigns, said to
have its origin among the anarchist
colony of Paterson, N. j., where vast
numbers OF foreigners are employed
in the mills. The matter is egarded
as of too delicate a nature for public
discussion on account of its interna-
tional aspect.
1t is known, however, that q number
of mysterious deportations have oc.
Cured around Paterson quite recently
and this is construed to mean that the
government is in possession of knowl.
edge regarding the wholesale EXTERN.
iuation OF crowned heads and is NOV.

the report of!ithej railroad rate bill.
There was 20 objection to the pre-.
s%en:ation of the motion and it pre-
vailed. II is expected that the con.
ference report on the railroad rate
bill will b. sent back TO conference as
a result of injection OF new matter in
the bill.
1t Is estimated that each congress.
man has received from three hundred
to six hundred kilograms protesting
against the strict auti.pass amend.
ment to the rate bill as agreed to by
conferees. Thousands of kilograms
have been received in the senate from
railway men and railway organiza.
tions. The amendment prohibits
passes to railroad employees or their
families. The total number of petit.
oners number more thanioue hundred
thousand.

Packers Accuse Roosevelt.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The political de.
struction OF Theodore Roosevelt has
been planned by the packers and
other large trusts which have been
undergoing regulation and p~rosecu-
ton through his initiative. The pack
ers and their henchmen have made the
astonishing discovery that the presi-
dent cannot be trusted and declare
that he is too radical in his attitude
toward the industries.
They have begun their warfare
against him by attacking his motives
and declare that he is inspired by
personal animosity due to the fact that
he lost heavily in Marquis de Mores'
scheme to establish q rival packing
house back In the eighties, when De-
Mores was q rancher in the Dakotas.
As a result of the exposure OF the
u%nutterable dizziness OF Packingtown
products the salt meat trade is ruined,
with the possible exception of Eng.
land. which is the largest meat mar
ket in the world and which will un-
doubleday view u meat with suspi.
cion in the future. Germany is GER
tain to exclude American meats. It
is known that the kaiser has been
waiting for an opportunity to favor
South American countries in this re.
spect.
WASHINGTON, June Sit 10 posi-
lively and authoritatively denied
that President Roosevelt was ever in.
terested in any way in a packing bust
ness, either beef or pork, when he ran
a ranch out west. There Is q little
packing house not far from the ranch,
but he vas not interested in that OF
any other. The denial is from the
highest available source.

Lower Rates In Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, June 5.-The state
railroad and warehouse commission
today agreed on final reductions to be
made 10 the state freight rates, which
have been pending before that body
for some time. The final order Of the
commission makes a 10 per cent re-
duction on the sixth class, and 8 per
cen reduction on the seventh class,
material reductions being made on the
eighth, ninth and tenth classes. A 10
per cent reduction is made on wheat,
grain, lumber, salt, coal and hogs.
Besides the articles and the COM
modities mentioned, the lev rates will
make a 10 per cent reduction on all
agricultural implements, machinery,
engines, boilers, wire nails, pumps,
sugar material and all articles used
by farmers, and also on sugar, coffee,
cereal products, soaps and many
other articles.

PACKERS MAKE DEFENSE.
Congressional Committee Hears state
ment From One of the Accused.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The house
committee on agriculture decided to
comply with the request of the Chicago
packers to be heard on the Neill.
Reynolds report regarding conditions
In the Chicago packing houses. The
request was made by Thomas Wilson,
manager of the Nelson Morris CON-
pauy, who was authorized to speak
for all the packers.
Mr.. Wilson made a general denial
of the existence of conditions in the
packing houses as set forth in the
Neill. Reynolds report. He began by
inviting the committee to come to
Chicago and spend a week in personal
investig alton, saying this would be
the only way for members to gain a
proper idea of what the conditions
really were. Some suggestions made
in the report, he said, had already
been complied with by the packers,
such as additional sanitary facilities.
AS to the charge that canned meats
were boiled in water to ''freshen them
up" MIR. Wilson said there was abso'
lutely nothing in this. Canned meat,
he said, was as good five years after
it had been put up as 1t was five min.
utes afterwards, providing no air had
gotten to it. If air had reached the
meat it would be spoiled beyond being
freshened up. What the cans were
put in hot water for was to soak of
the old labels, which he said was an
injury to the appearance Of the goods
on sale. He denied absolutely tina,
there were any diseased cattle or hogs
butchered for food. In every carload
of cattle or hogs, he said, some were
likely to be dead and some diseased.
The dead or diseased hogs and cattle
we're sent to the Standa ard Rendering
company, which was a very different
institution from the Standard Slaugh'
tering company, although the two
were likely to be confused in thu
mind. The rendering company turned
the dead and diseased meat into
grease, which al a %co.product in thu
manufacture of soap.
Supervision of every branch of tn
packing business was not objected tt
by the packers, said MIR. Wilson. Tn
government may put on as many in
spectors as it desires, so long Is tn
packers do not have to pay for them
He said the packing business would
be benefited by inspection of diferen
branches from ''the hoof to the can
Good inspection Is what the packer
want, he declared.
