SENATOR TlLLMAN.

Senator Tillman is to make num-
Der OF addresses in the state during
the fall and winter. filling dates on
the lecture courses arranged for many
OF the towns AS a spectacular enter
tainer there is probably no man in the
nation who can give the public as
much for the money as Tillman. He
is therefore good business draw
ing card and for the managers who
have secured him he will be their
strongest attraction financially.
But the real purpose of the lyceum
course is to educate the public and
in this particular Tillman will not
strike very responsive chord in the
hearts of North Dakotans. He is con-
genial as an individual but as a public
man either in the halls of congress,
on the political hustings or the lee
ture platform he becomes at once
mountebank. His ideas are limited
to the matters which arouse his pre-
JUDGES either favorably or unfavor-
ably. His judgment is the swayins of
his passions.
The scope of his information is the
few subjects which are the political
passwords of southern fanaticism. He
is not representative of the south for
that section has produced men, who
while the strongest partisans, have
been sufficiently cultured to recog-
nize the rights of others to entertain
different opinions. Not so with Till
man. To him the man who does not
believe that the negroes of the south
should be disfranchised no matter how
intelligent, and the white man no
matter how ignorant, should be al
lowed the exercise of the elective fran
chise. is fool and a scoundrel.
With a mind which, had it been
properly directed, might have been
OF use to the world because of its
ability, stored with the prejudices and
passions which have characterized his
public life and utterances, and given
the opportunity to express these senti-
ments on public rostrums, he has
chosen to clothe them in language as
coarse and passionate as the ideas
themselves.
1t is these characteristics which
given him reputation. They may
please the fancy while they disgust
the intellect. Those who expect to be
educated by listening to the lectures
OF Tillman will be disappointed. But
the man or woman who desires to
know the real issue of southern poll
tics and the manner in which it is
presented should not fail to hear him.
1t will give North Dakotans an oppor-
tunity to see the other side of the poll
teal situation which they could never
see at home

MODERN REFORMS.

The nomination of William Ran
dolph Hearst for the governorship OF
New York by the democrats led by
Boss Murphy of Tammany hall, is a
strong indication of what the social
ed political reform means in many in
stances. There is always a certain
WEAKNESS with the old ways and old
methods no matter how good and that
part of the public which does not stop
to consider results is ever seeking
something so far untried.
Hearst is one of that class himself
and he has merely gathered around
him the elements which can be swayed
by the cry for something new. These
people who proclaim themselves re-
formers are in fact the rankest dema-
gogs. Policies which have proven
their value to the nation and which
when tried have been found 20 con-
stitute the groundwork of national
prosperity, are thrown aside to have
their places taken by untried sophis-
tries and theoretical absurdities.
And they call this reform. The
craze for that which is new has swept
Hearst into a nomination for an Office
which he could not fill even if elected.
The clown at the circus secures more
attention for some ridiculous act
which requires no skill than does the
expert performer who has spent years
IN perfecting an act which has no
equal in the world. So it is with
Hearst and many of the other pre-
tended reformers. The only reasons
they have to advance in behalf of such
Is that it is new and untried.
1t should be remembered that the
great political reforms which have
marked the forward progress of the
world have not been of the spectacu-
lar kind They have not been founded
upon the passions of mankind but on
its deliberate and matured Judgment.
The revolution which permitted the
establishment of this nation was not
the result of the passions of the men
who led it. Neither was it the work of
a day. For years the sentiment had
been growing and at every advance of
the cause the foundations we're ce-
mented SO firmly that when the crash
came nothing could shake it. The re-
bellion did not have it's origin in the
sixties, but the foundation was laid
forty years before in the legislation
which grew out of the Missouri COM
promise. And above all these reforms
have been the working out of prin-
ciples and not the foisting of any one
man or any one set of men. Neither

MOBILES AFFLICTION.

Though other places along the Gulf
suffered terribly from the recent hur-
ricane, the worst effects were appar-
emily felt in Mobile, which had larg-
er population than any other town or
city in the afflicted region. The loss
of life was marvellously small and in
striking contrast with that which oc-
Cured at Galveston a few years ago

the visitation was disastrous in the
extreme. Nearly every home and place
OF business in the city was wrecked
and though all but few of Mobiles
10000 inhabitants escaped death they
are confronted with complication of
misfortunes. BY the washouts on the
railways serious interruption in the
food supply is created. Many dwell

The suspension of business will
prove many sided calamity. 1t will
be a source of distress to employer
and employe; to the grocer, butcher
and merchant on the one hand, and
his customers on the other. From
some of these unhappy consequences
recovery will be possible within few
days. The influence of others will be

direction at the first change in the

Man About To,Dn

There hasn't been much talg about

yers no doubt wish 1t to do. A lot of
sympathy has been aroused for this
man all through the country, yet down

But Stanford White was a genius.

in the finest places in New York and

WORKING THE PRISONERS.

They may be some reasons against
the policy of requiring prisoners who
are confined in the county Jail to work
on public improvements. but they do
not by any means balance the advant-
ages arising from the plan 1t is true
that in late years the policy has been
to reform rather than punish the Grim
inal. This is an admirable theory and
one which deserves far more atten-
ton than it has been receiving. But
it is not the only panacea for the re-
formation desired by those who hope
to see crime reduced.
In fact the frequency of crime in
portunities for the detection of the
guilty through the medium OF the tele-
graph and telephone would indicate
that with the depraved criminal class
there should be more severe methods
of punishment than those usually re-
sorted to.
So far as the criminals who fill the
jailS of this and other counties are
concerned it is safe to say that the
greater majority of them are such by
their own choosing 1t is easy to re-
a!ize that any man under the stress of
passion and when reason is for the
time being dethroned, may commit
crime for which the law fixes the
severest punishment. But how very
few of such cases appear on the cal
endars of the trial courts of this state.
The criminals which cost the tax
payers most and which are the great
est menace to the lives and property
of the citizens of the state are those
who commit crime merely for the pro-
fit they will derive from it. They rob
because they consider it easier to Sc
cure money in that way than by earn
ing it honestly. They commit bur-
glary for the same reason. And if
in the execution of either of these
acts it becomes necessary for their
own protection they do not hesitate
to commit murder.
The men who engage in the bust
ness of selling liquor in this state in
violation of the law constitute a large
percentage of the criminals to be
found in the county jails, especially in
the more sparsely populated sections.
Observation will prove that when they
are released from prison for having
violated the law one time they will
deliberately return to the same bust
ness SO soon as they can gather
sufficient amount of money to open
joint Seriously, they are of no
value as citizens and the cost of keep
ing them in Jail as we'll as that of
convicting them of the crime must be
paid by the taxpayers of the county.
If radiance can be made of this
class of criminals alone the court ex-
penses will be materially reduced.
And what good do they do the people
who toll from early morn until the
shadows fall to raise the crop from
which these extra taxes must be
paid? But let the scoundrels who
have cost this money be compelled to
work on the public roads and in the
drainage bitches while enjoying pris-
on fare and bunk repose and they will
pause long before they deliberately
engage in the violation of the laws.
The county commissioners have
done something which the taxpayers
will appreciate when they understand
the facts in the case

ahat the city drinking water is not

that the water has been good in the

If the wind and the lake currents hap
pen to carry the river water and the
sewerage which empties into the lake
out to the intake. For this reason the
city should arrange to have the drink
ing water tested at regular intervals,
say once week, and make the re-
ports public so that if there is the
slightest faint in the water it could be
boiled before using. 1t would cost
some money but as precautionary
measure it would be worth all it costs
and more. The diseases that follow
bad drinking water are liable to be-
come epidemic before people realize
abe danger and Kenosha does not
