The Fargo Searchlight. the devoted
advocate of the late political reforma-
ton, has this to say of Colonel Peake,
who is being boomod for the speaker
ship of the house: Colonel Peake of
Valley City has been talked of as a
possible speaker of the house, as an in
surgent. Isn't this the Colonel Peake
who, when he expected to be sent to the
Philippines at the head of the North
Dakota regiment, refused to allow one
of the private soldiers to sit at the same
table with him at the Hotel Metropole
in Fargo? Peake was permitted to stay
at home. He will probably be permit
ed mot" to take the speakership. Peake
has always been satisfied with his own
importance-much more so than other
people.

When to Go Home.

From the Bluffton, Ind, Banner:
"When tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, 60 home. When you want to
show others that you have reformed, go
home and let your family get acquainted
with the fact. When you want to show
yourself at your best go home and dc
the act there. When you feel like being
extra liberal go home and practice on
your wife and children first. When you
want to shine with extra brilliancy GO
home and light up the whole household,
TO which we would add, when you have
a bad cold 60 home and take Chamber,
lain's Cough Remedy and n quick cure
is certain. For sale by n. u. McLirusr

REFoEMRD spelling seems destined to
get a reverse. The two houses of con
gress, through their appropriate COM
mittees, have decided to stick to the old
style. AS the provision for funds is to
be made by congress, public documents
and publications will be dressed in the
old styles of spelling. Reformed spell
ing, even with the impetus of the presi-
dents approval, does not progress very
fast. a few newspapers have followed
the new style, but as a general rule
publications will not be the first by
which the new system is tried. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the president
will obey his formerly expressed mten-
ton of abandoning the style if it should
not prove popular. He may not think
congress represents the popular will IN
the matter. But a great many of us
who are too old or too lazy to learn new
spellings will be pleased hat congress
does not intend to burden us with
official documents gotten up in any new
or fantastic modes of spelling.
