a Deferred Explanation.

1t is rather amusing to read the
writings of some wise ones who claim
that the climate of North Dakota is
changing for the better and then to
read their explanations of the physical
causes of such change. Why, the
men who lived in this region gener-
alton before the bulk of the settlers
came, knew that it was paradise and
they were SO anxious to keep it to
themselves that they said nothing
good about it, Y

Beyond His Limit.

A player formerly in the support Of
Richard Mansfield, fecounts an anus
ing conflict between that nimble-wit-
ted actor and scene manager named
Jack Quinn, who at the time was EN-
ployed at a western theater.
Quinn was fully aware of the ex-
IRENE nervousness of the star, who is
frequently upset by the slightest un-
necessary noise on the stage; SO dur
ing Mansfield's engagement he took
every precaution to see that the actor
was not annoyed.
Nevertheless, one evening the latter
made vigorous objection to couple
of sceneshifters, who after some labor
ious work in the flies came down to
the rear of the stage breathing rather
heavily as result of their exertions.
Mansfield CHANGED to be near them
when they stepped to the stage. He
nearly froze them with a look. Then
he summoned Quinn. b 81
"The breathing of those men an
noys me-" he said.

Irishman.

Some have asked me why in men,

frankly because in my candid
judgment, based on long observation

III our country. With face fine and
well dished, ears small and almost
erect, jowl full, neck short and
thick, shoulder short from neck but
deep from back down, back short and
straight, broad and level loins, good
length from joint of hips to rump,
hams thick, round and deep, hold
ing their thickness well back and
down to the hooks, bone fine and com
pact, otfal very light, hair fine and
soft, legs short and fine but straight
and strong, length and size of car
ta>s medium. gentle in disposition,
and active feeder. fattening easily
1T any age, with flesh firm and eles-
tic. netting more pounds of such
flesh than arr other breed known, in
return for The same amount and
kind of feed, the Berkshire is win
rer.
They are bv no means the only
good hog grown III our country, for
there are many mcritorlous breeds,
each having title to great merit. but
when YOU find that almost every
rev breed introduced is dependent
mainly on the Berkshire cross for its
hest characteristics, and that every
;ttempt made by breeders to i'm
irove the highest types of the Berk-
Shire by crosses from any of the 9TH
er breeds. for the past half of a
century, has proven failure, feel
justified in my faith in the pure and
tue bred Berkshire. but concede to
every individual the perfect right to
differ with me, and only insist that,
whatever your favorite breed, it will
pay YOU to give the best possible at
tcntion TO the care of the breeding
stock and management of the pig
from narrowing to maturity.
A lot of neglected. ill-bred mon
grcls will rarely pay for their keep,
much less prove profitable to the far
mer who raises and markets them.-

A Terrell Law Defect.

The Terrell law, in so far as it
seeks to control party nominations
is the rankest kind of usurpation
and should be wiped out. 1t is un-
American undemocratic and a
fraud upon a free people. There is
neither reason or excuse why party
nominations should be controlled by
law and it is exceedingly strange
that democrats can sanction such a
radical departure from the old SIM
pie democratic usages. The Star ia
fors the primary system, but believes
the democratic party or any other
political party should be permitted
to select their nominees in their OWN
way. Rank usurpation is not strong
enough to condemn such law but
Is the best we can think of just now.
The tendency of the times is to
run all to law. It's a law for this
and a law for that. Hundreds of
things are made crimes by law that
are not crimes within themselves.
Where will this thing lead to? If
political parties have become so cor
supt that they cannot be trusted to
make nominations then the end of
the republic is near at hand.
Such meddling with the rights of
parties and individuals, if persisted,
will lead to anarchy. A free people
will not long tolerate such iniquities
as the part of the Terrell law gov
ernin9 the primaries, if they do they
will lose every vestige of their lib
erty, and they will not deserve the
name of freemen. Few people have
ever stopped to consider the far
reaching effects of this law. If they
will study the law little they will
see that it is the most dangerous de-
parture from democratic usages ever
attempted in this State. The Davis
administration of infamies would
not have dared to pass such law
as this because had they done so
q revolution would have resulted be-
cause of other misdeeds of that nev-
er to be forgotten administration.
But in times of profound peace, the
Ieople busy with their affairs, the
legislature slips this insidious and
dangerous law through.
Now some galoot will say that The
Star is not in. favor of fair honest
ballot. To such, if any, We would
say make strict laws to protect the
ballot, but keep the law out Of pri-
yate affairs.
The legislature has no more right
to dictate to political party how
or when it shall nominate its tick
ct, than it has to dictate to farmer
when or how he shall plant his corn.
1t is the primary part of the Terrell
law The Star objects to. The 9TH
er part is all right in the main.-
