Another example Of change merely
for the sake Of change. which seems to
reign in the War Department. Is exem-
plified in the artillery bill before Con-
gress. A few years ago the whole ar
tillery system was torn up and remod-
eled, the regiments abolished and q
corps instituted with batteries Of vary
ing strength. There were 80 field bat
teries numbered consecutively, and 12S
seacoast batteries, also numbered con-
secutively, and all under Chief Of Ar
tillery with the rank OF Brigadier-Gen-
eraI. The new bill provides for q re-
storation Of the regiments for the field
artillery, and there are to be six Of
them. with the usual field officers. Colo
nels. observation-disclosures and Majors.
The condition in the Artillery Corps is
decidedly unsatisfactory for some un-
explained reason. since out OF 1.1s0 dis
charges in a year but IS men re-enlisted
In the artillery. The others re-enlisted
in the cavalry or infantry. or did not
re-enlist at all.

The safe and sane common people OF
the country can view the revelations
and incidents in New York with entire
equanimity. It is process as old as
human society, where women, whisky
and other vices remove the loafers from
society, and make room for better
blood. It Is the worlds way OF skim
ming of its scum. Every man who
goes to the devil swiftly by whisky and
sexual sins Is a weed pulled up out of
the field Of fair humanity. That he re-
moves himself under the belief that he
Is having q good time makes the pro-
cess all the more agreeable to right
thinking men. No judge or jury could
visit upon these worthless men the pun
ishment they bring upon themselves.
and all in the pleasant belief that they
are enjoying life. .

THE PENNSYLVANIA CAMPAIGN.

Everybody in Pennsylvania IS looking
for something Of startling unexpected
ness to happen at the coming election.
The campaign is now fairly opened
SINCE the Democrats met at Harrisburg
last week. nominated a full ticket and
declared their views Of the issues. The
Republicans had already put O State
ticket In the field and announced very
positive and well-outlined platform,
ing specific promises. The State ticket
and the platform highly commend
themselves to the people Of the State,
but 1t Is felt that Senator Penrose, who
has succeeded to the boss-ship, so long
administered by Senator Quay, made a
great mistake In not having the ticket
nominated and the platform adopted in
an open Convention. What the Con-
vention did was undoubtedly the prod
uct Of the best Republican thought OF
Pennsylvania, and II the Convention had
been the free product of the people in
the various Counties and Townships, 1t
could not have been any better or more
acceptable.
1t seems that Senator Penrose was
not content with this, but employed his
machinery and sent such men to the
Convention as he desired and to put
through his slate This is the most
serious obstacle In the way Of his sue
cess. There has been for years very
grave dissatisfaction with the party
management in Pennsylvania, and this
eliminated last year in open revolt and
the carrying OF the great city Of Phila-
delphia by the reformers. The main
thought Of a very strong proportion OF
the Republicans is to effectually down
Senator Penrose's leadership and get
Of this opposition Is due to other mems
ambitions which are baked by Mr.. PEN
rose and his friends. But 1t cannot be
denied that an unusual number OF very
good men and citizens do not like
Mr.. Penrose. and like still less the men
who surround him and dictate the pol
Icy Of the Republican Party.
The Democrats are even more dissat-
isfied with the leadership OF Col. Cuff
fey, and they made this opposition so
effective that Guffey saw the game was
up, and retired from all management or
dictation Of the Convention The Demo-
Gratis who are opposed to Col. Guffey
| feel that they have an opportunity to
| carry the State, which they can only do
by forming an alliance with the dissat-
| isfied Republicans. THE Lincoln Par.
| ty," largely made up OF these Repub-
| Leans. has been showing much strength,
and evinced willingness to unite with
the Democrats upon a good ticket and
platform not too radical. The Con-
| ventiOn, therefore. nominated for Gov

DEMOCRACY for years past has been
lighting for better conditions politically
for North Dakota and the opinion seems
general that this year the work Of the
party is more likely than it has ever
been of winning out. The people a,
last arr coming around to view things as
seen by the democratic party and ad-
vocated in its platforms and policies.
The results however can only be expect
ed to materialize through the effort of
organization and plenty of hard work.
Especially the western part of the state
has shown an increased growth in
democratic ideas and may be expected
to take a lively part in the campaign.
To the party workers and those who
have watched the growth Of the differ
ences within the republican fold It Is
apparent that the insurgents and the
old gang republicans are engaged IN a
struggle TO q finish. So intent will the
republican party be on its quarrel with
in its own ranks that the people will
leave them and their factional differ
ences. The reason for this Is that the
people are looking for men and measures
instead of closely drawn lines of par
tlsanship. and by putting up a ticket
that has strength and represents the
people and not machine politics the
of North Dakota democrat:
can be counted as a winner.

The little town of Hampden. had quite

the death of a citizens through the mis-
Iaking of wood alcohol for the other al
cohol. The victim was a man by the
name of McGroth. or Mccartney, a sec
ton boss for the Great Northern.
Another party. Otto Evans by name, an
elevator agent at Hampden, was made
very seriousl! i'll by drinking from the
same bottle from which the dead man
had been lmbibing. and Evans was Ia
ken to Grand Forks and lodged at a
local hospital. Evans says that on Sun
day night he bought a dollars worth of
alcohol He then went to his Office in
the elevator, and mixed himself two or
three drinks. After a while McGroth,
or Mccartney as some called him. step
ped into the Office and begged for a
drink. He directed the visitor to help
himself. Evans went to bed and the
other man. it appears, drank the entire
contents of the bottle. That same night
he was taken sick and died the next day.
The corpse was stretched out in the
section house that night, guarded by
citizens and on the following day an in,
quest was held in one of the livery
barns. McCatfrey's body was buried at
