Not Worth Fighting For.

County-seat fights are a feature of
every campaign year. There are not
so many as usual this season. The Da-
kota county contest has been called off.
The people of Pennington sensibly
dropped the matter after they had
gone to the great trouble Of fling a
petition for an election, which was i'm
mediately riddled by Hastings and
robbed Of names enough to make it in
valid. The perennial Jackson-Lake,
field fight is on. jackson was able to
secure enough Withdrawals from the
first Lakefield petition to spoil it, an6
now Lakefeld is returning to the at
tack with second petition.
These contests are expensive, and g
good many, thriving towns have come
to realize that the game is not worth
the candle. Very little business is at
tracted by a courthouse, and aside from
the county officers added to heApopu
lation, and the crowd drawn for "cour
week. there is not much tangible ben
eft to be derived. On the other hand
the citizens Of county town are ap
to- 90 to sleep and quit hustling, de
pending too much on the city's pres
tige. Instances are on record wher'
town has been shaken out of it's ru
by losing the county seat, and has en-
tered on a new era Of business enter
prise and prosperity. Sank Rapids wa
formerly the seat Of government TO
Benton county, but lost the COURTEOUS
in an exciting. fight a few years age
Since that time the old town, whic
was in a moribund condition, ha
aroused to second youth. It has sc
| cured some valuable manufacturing
plants, and is once more enjoying
boom. The change might have com
anyway, but the citizens of the tow:
all say that their new prosperity date
from the loss of the courthouse Tha

They realize now that it is not court

that hustles and commands success.

It should be understood that only the

The President s Letters.

The Washington correspondent or
T h Q Journ sets forth in his dis
patches today that the democrats Of
the senate are holding the president
guilty of violation Of the spirit Of the
constitution in comforting with mem
bers of the senate on the rate bill. This
is very sad especially in view Of the
fact that the democratic senators must
have equally violated the spirit Of the
constitution in comforting with the
president We desire to avoid the
thought of Senator Bailey sneaking
about the dark corridors Of the capital
with the CHASTITY remains of slain con-
stitution under his coat, seeking place
to hide the body Of the crime. It is
too painful to contemplate Bailey the
defender in this inconsistent and bloody
attitude. But if Bailey is going to
hold the president, who is not blue
ribbon lawyer, to a strict accountable
ty, we must ask Bailey himself, who has
| drawn four first and two second prizes
as an expounder of the venerable docu-
ment in the senate, to keep away from
the White House and lead not Theodore
into temptation.
| But it is not the constitution Of the
United States these senators are panied
about. Their vociferation over the
wound to the official copy of our ma
tional charter covers very severe pain
in their political inwards which they
feel, but which they hope other peo-
pie will not laugh at. 49,
The president has deprived them Of
something which democratic senators
have not had for long time, and which
they hunger for, and that is political
victory. Political victory was not to
be theirs, but the democratic senators
should even in their agony remember
that tho Scripture says, he that ruletE
himself is greater than he that taketh g
city. The democratic senators did not
take city, but they still had chance
to show that they were among the i'm
mortals by concealing their wounds
In this they have not been very success
full. They have burst forth with VIC
lence and they have compelled the
president, to say that: they are mistaken
! about several things.
1 The necessity imposed upon the presl
! dent of. taking notice of what occurred
in debate in the upper house must have
been unpleasant to the president, no
/ because he did not have things to sa,
