SING NE TO SLEEP

Sing NE to sleep. the shadows fall;
Let me forget the world and all.
Fired is my heart, the day Is long;
Would it were come TO eyensOng.
Sing me to sleep, your hand in mine,
our fingers az IN prayer entwine;
only your voice, love, let me hear,
Singing to tell me you are near,
Sing me to sleep, love, you alone
Seem To be left me for mine own;
HAPPY my heart will know no pain
When awake from sleep again.
Sing me to sleep and let me rest,

Nothing is faithful, nothing true
In heaven or earth, but God and you.

Political commissions such as this
state and Minnesota suffered on last
Tuesday are not uncommon in the his
tory of republics. In 1892 one of them
swept over the state of Ohio and car
ried down to defeat as candidate for
congressman the lamented Mckinley.
The morning following his defeat he
was asked if he would quit the field
and he remarked that the principles
which he represented and the party to
which he belonged were not born to
die and that the people would realize
the falsity of the contentious upon
which they had rendered hasty
judgment and would rally TO the
standard of the republican party with
more earnestness than ever before
Two years later he was triumphantly
elected governor of his state and two
years after that event was carried in
to the presidency by political ava
lanche which has never been equaled
in the history of the nation. A political
upheaval sent Cleveland into the presi-
dental chair and four years later his
candidacy would have been spurned
with contempt by the party which first
elected him.

trayed its friends but refused to abide
BY decision Of the majority. Had 1t
not been successful in the regular
election according to its past record
it would have started revolution to
have accomplished its ends. In this
connection it might be we'll to remind
that democratic exponent that in 1859
the democratic party with which it is
now affiliated. openly announced that
if Abraham Lincoln was elected presi-
dent the people who constituted that
party would rebel and set up gov
eminent Of their own. and that only
the clemency of the conqueror saved
those who had preached the doctrine
of refusing to abide by the will of the
majority for years from being hanged
as traitors to their country. The only
difference between those who submit
their contentious to a tribunal con-
stituted by agreement among men and
those who refuse to abide by the de-
cision of the tribunal constituted by
law is that in the former case there
is no executive except the honor of the
participants while in the latter the
law enforces obedie-ce. The man who
abides by the decision Of the majority
merely because the law compels him
to do so is at heart revolutionist
The morning democratic organ would
feel at home among the instructors
of Cuba and the South American re-
publics.

THE AFTERMATH.

The verdict OF the people OF this state
has been rendered. and while it doe,
not agree with the political belief of
the Evening Times, this paper believes
in the eternal right OF the majority to
rule in party as we'll as government
and willingly acquiesses in the de-
cision. The state government which
was selected on Tuesday will be. when
inaugurated, the government of the
entire people.
The Evening Times made fight to
have 1t otherwise, and does not desire
to retract single action which it
took during the campaign. Its position
was we'll known and it did not fear
to fight to maintain it. 1t believed
during the campaign that it was for
the best interests of the state that its
contentious should be accepted, and it
believes the same today. The result
OF the ballots has not changed its
opinion but at the same time it is
ready to give allegiance to the sue
'cessfui party so far as such allegiance
is necessary for the good of the state
and the prosperity of the people.
There is still abundant room for the
belief that the people of North Dakota
are true to the principles of the re-
publican party, and that they will
again return to their first love. The
Evening Times will be found two years
hence and in the years which follow,
just where it has stood in the present
fight-doing battle with all its might
for the success of the republican
party.
In presenting its views to the public
it will do so fearlessly and without
equivocation. yet it has always had
and will continue to have sufficient
breadth to concede the right of differ
ing from it to others. But it will not, be-
cause of temporary defeat, allow itself
to sulk in its tent. 1t will not hesitate
to stand up boldly and fearlessly for
anything which is for the best in
terests Of the city and county, and the
general good Of the entire state. It
was ready when the polls closed to
accept the verdict Of the voters and
will be found just as ready to assist
in every thing that will make for the
unbuilding of the great commonwealth
OF the northwest, and its city of des-
tiny at the gateway to the western
empire.

THE RESULT.

The result of the election Tuesday
indicates conclusively that the advice
of the Herald and the Normanden have
been closely followed. The warn
ing of the Evening Times was not
needed and the cutting of the ticket
which was advocated by the Herald
and the chairman and secretary of
the county central committee not only
accomplished the designs which these
people had upon the state ticket but
1t came within a 1.-THE of a hair of
turning the entire county over to the
democrats, and did partially accom-
plish this result.
There is no need of mincing matters
Those who are responsible for the de-
plorable conditions which destroyed
the prestige of the republican party
In this county must be held respon-
sible for the results of their work.
The Herald has secured what standing
j, has in the state as the organ of the
republican party in the past After it
has so secured this standing, like a
friend who comes into the house and
then betrays the hospitality by rob-
bling the master who has sheltered
him. has betrayed its trust and used
that prestige to defeat the republican
party by means OF combination with
the democrats.
In its fight against the ticket in this
county it has had the support of the
chairman and secretary of the county
central committee who have followed
the same course and the county ticket
has been traded for votes against the
two Objectionable candidates on the
democratic ticket. Men were sent out
as speakers who were themselves
knitting the ticket and where it was
possible to do so, meetings at which
straight republicans we're to speak
were not advertised.

avowed enemies with the same fidelity
that it has its friends. And while il
is ashamed of the party management
which has so wilfully violated its trust,
it has no apologies to offer for the
work. Those who were false to the
party took the stand they did deliber-
ately and openly and the candidates
who were the victims OF their disloyalty
made no protest hoping that all would
come out we'll in the end. Let the
candidates and their friends who have
suffered at the hands of these people
and from the work of the Herald and
Normanden carry their sorrows to
those who are responsible.

POSSIBLE LEGISLATION.

Among the legislation which will he
required to be given attention at the
coming session of the legislature will
be law providing that such
mechanics as blacksmirhs shall have
lien on the property repaired for the
cost OF such repairs Such a law Is
merely justice to that class OF people.
They often make possible the planting
and harvesting of the crop, and then
when the time of collection arrives
find all the avenues of enforcing
payment closed by the filing of prior
liens.
There will in all probability be a
bill introduced early in the session
providing practically a mechanics lien
for that class of artisans. If it is
introduced it will in all probability be-
come law, as there would be a de-
mand for its enactment not only from
the mechanics themselves but from the
patrons OF the same who are able to
pay their bills. Mechanics are like
all other business men and in fixing
scale Of prices are compelled to
make them sufficiently high to cover
all bad debts. The man who pays is
therefore required to pay a certain
per centage of the losses arising from
this cause, and the rate to him Is there
fore higher than it would be II there
was some adequate law by which the
laborer could enforce the collection
of his now uncollectible bills. The
mechanics and the patrons have thus
united their interests in the movement
and it will certainly become a law.
