THAT "MESSAGE."

1t appears that the term message"
was used in an academic and not COM
mercial sense in the convention re-
port that referred to a message from
the governor of Wisconsin. The
Jamestown Capital offers this explana-
ton Of the reported message: "
One of the careless statements re-
garding the convention proceedings
here which has caused considerable
annoyance in Wisconsin was that
Governor Davidson Of Wisconsin sent
message of comfort and encourage.
ment to the insurgents. This is I'm.
ture. During one of the insurgent
caucuses Consul Bendeke of Grand
Forks said that on a recent trip to
Wisconsin in attendance at saenger
fest he met Governor Davidson who
said he was closely watching affairs
In North Dakota and he seemed to be
better posted on some things than the
speaker. The governor said the move
ment for primary elections and re
form, which is now sweeping over the
q. S., would eventually win of its owr
weight in North Dakota. Now this
was the substance of Mr.. Bendeke's
remarks regarding Wisconsin's gov
ernor but a delegate at later TIME
speaking of the remarks of the COVER
| nor referred to them as message
from Wisconsin and the conclusion
seems to have been jumped at tina
Governor Davidson sent a telegram
There has been no forging of mes
sages; only a misunderstanding.

New Law Affecting Citizenship.

Grand Forks Times: Judge John F.
Cowan this morning in district court
issued citizenship papers to Edward
Hoser, a former subject of the sover.
eign of Norway, he having made the
customary declaration of allegiance
to the republic of the United States,
etc.
In this connection comes the state
ment of a we'll known local attorney
today to the effect that Mr.. Hoser's
citizenship was not acquired legally
not because of any omission upon his
part, but for other reasons.
The new federal law which went in
to effect July 1, provides that the at
torney general of tn. state shall, after
the applicant has given ninety day
notice of intention to become a citi
zen, be present and Investigate in per
son the qualifications of the candidate
for citizenship on the date of hearing
The witnesses shall be present te
testify. ~
Clerk of Court Spaulding states thai
heretofore it has not been customary
to give any notice of intention by pub
LEGATION, the applicant simply come:
into court with his witnesses, and thu
qualifications being according to thu
specifications of the law, duly take
the oath and is gives his papers.
IF that new law went into effec
on July 1, as understand it did," sail
Clerk Spaulding today, then Hoser'
citizenship will be open to question.

be paid promptly than that policy of
antagonism to railroads be announced
and that thousands of dollars Of
taxes be tied up through legal strug-
gle over a matter of taxation, where
the difference is not great as between
the ideas Of the conservatives and the
extremists. The making of North Da-
kota into great state has been a
matter of practical business policy
and sense and the results Of that
policy are seen in the growing pros
perity of the state. We apprehend
the Journal is not making any great
fight on the milling interests of Mime
apolis, and we believe the people Of
this state realize that the raisers of
wheat and the buyers of wheat do not
always have interests in common, as
business affairs are frequently con-
Quoted. SO that it is likely to be some
time before the farmers of the state
of North Dakota take their political
advice from the milling and elevator
interests, much as this might please
the latter. North Dakota cannot have
suffered much from its policy of en-
couraging railroad construction when
it stands today as one of the most
prosperous states in the union, when
its lands are rising in value by leaps
and bounds and when other states see
| with no small chagrin the rapid influx
of good settlers to it's domains. And
| these are the views of Chairman Viii
Hams and they are the views of thous.
| ands of other sensible and practical
men. There is no question of dis.
elimination in favor of the railroads
On the other hand, there should be nc
question Of discrimination against
them. They are part of our bust
ness system as much as the farmer
or the elevator man or the merchant
They should obey wise laws and con
form to sensible regulations and pay
taxes in proportion as other persons
and interests pay taxes-no less and
no more.

A partial ticket has been suggested
for the democratic state convention
at Minot. 1t includes Iceland of La
Moure for lieutenant governor, Babe
of Wahpeton for secretary of state,
Greenleaf of Ward for attorney gen
eral, I. P. Baker of Bismarck for state
treasurer, Fisk for supreme judge and
Tracy Bangs of Grand Forks and
John D. Benton of Cass county for
congress. But there is no great en-
thusiasm for the nominees and it is
admitted that in the majority of cases
the candidates will probably refuse to
accept the nominations.

THE RAILROADS AND THE STATE

4f1E ftAILFtCffLo AMI IT1E SbH'Es
I'M In its comment upon the republican
state convention, the Minneapolis
journal says it means that North d.
kota is still "pro-railroad state, and
That the views of Chairman Williams
express the will of the convention
although expressed more boldly than
The leaders desired" This statement
OF the Journal is purely gratuitous
Inference. 4 North Dakota is not on
The list of states that make capital out
of antagonizing railroads. 1t believes
and the Tribune believes rightly, that
there is much to be gained by fair
dealing as between the state and the
railroads. North Dakota has much
needed railroad development. In the
past few years hundreds of miles of
new railroad has been built. This has
opened up a vast new territory, given
opportunity for business in new
towns, offered a market for wheat,
and all manner of produce, increased
the value OF land, and added much to
the taxable property In the state. In
deed, SO attractive have been the OPP
portunities offered that North Dakota
has had the most remarkable immi-
grafton of any state in the union. The
railroads have contributed to all this
development. It is not necessary to
ray they have done tt philanthropi
" or unselhshIy. Railroads, like
newspapers and other forms Of enter
prise, seek a field for Investment that

veIopment ii not to be gained by an
aannonnced policy of antagonism. The
railroads in North Dakota are at the
present time building several hundred
miles Of new lines. They have as
sisted with every movement made BY
the state for immigration. They have

The remarkable immigration into
North Dakota during the past two or
three years has developed conditions
Of various character, most of them
good, some of them bad and to one of
these latter wish to call attention.
Homesteads are few and far be-
tween, particularly on the east side
of the Missouri and for this and other
reasons they are quite valuable. Out
of this fact there has arisen in many
places what is practically a system of
terrorism and blackmail. / know of
instances where homesteaders, who
are very poor as many Of them are,
having moved off the claim for three
or four months in the winter in order
to earn money, have returned to find
a contest instituted against their en-
try and have the choice of finding
money to fight the contest of to pay a
consideration to some man in the
community who has engineered the
contest for which consideration he
will see that the case is not proceeded
with. This has been done in cases
where not a single point in the am
davit could be verified. / could give
instances of the working of this
ubiquitous scheme and I believe the
matter is one that ought to be looked
into. 4

THE CIRCUS IS HERE
sELLs-FLoTo CIRCUS HAS AT
TRAcTED A GREAT CROWD I
TO TOWN.

'The elephant now goes round,
The band begins to play,
And little boys round the monkeys
cage
Had better keep away
The Sells-Floto shows are here to-
day, and the street pageant gave evil
dence of something good under the
big tents. S.. 4: M
The usual quota of small boys, as
well as a large number of older peo-
pie, were up before dawn had awak-.
ened from it's night OF slumber, to see
the work Of unloading the long train.
The arrival and unloading of cir
Gus is an event looked forward to with
great anticipation by the younger
generation. g. 4
The Sells-Floto show is among the
best that has visited this city for
some time. Everything is new and
up-to-date, and their many beautiful
horses as well as the animals are in
fine condition. -,,. -.--
The weather man had promised rain
for today, but the circus management
vetoed the order and the day was
perfect.
The streets were thronged with
spectators to view the parade, which
was over a mile IN length. The
parade was headed by splendid
band. After the band came a corps
of horsemen in magnificent costumes,
then many pretty ladies on horse
back and more bands.
The various animals Of different
kinds were seen in the long train.
Many scenes which created laughter
and brought cheers from the large
crowd were noticeable. For instance,
the old parade feature, a patrol
| wagon, with Carrie Nation for
driver, hauling clown to the police
station. There were clowns riding
mules and clown band. ~
The menagerie contains many
babies, the pretty little baby tigers
attracting considerable attention,
while the members of the company
pet the baby lions. There is whole
drove of baby ponies, which are very
| pretty; the smallest one is just six
weeks old and tips the scales at II
! pounds. In fact, the menagerie is
all good, but the babies attract the
greatest amount of attention.
One of the features of the street
parade was the "tail end the ever.
present calliope-it was actually in
tune and the operator knew how to
play it. = IL G5:
The management of the show as:
sures the public that no discomforts
would follow rain tonight and there
is no Indications Of rain. The
circus tent is waterproof, and the
1location allows for plenty Of drainage
| Those who attended the circus this
afternoon were outspoken on its
merits. They say the nenagerie had
more features of real interest than
all the shows that have visited here
put together and the children were
4 delighted with the many babies Of the
! animal kingdom under the big tent
The main circus performance was tbs
j best that has been given here fol
I years and there were so many good
things that some kicked because they
could not watch all the different
!. features going on at the same time
| In word it can be said Of the Sells
Floto people that they put up a good
4, honest show from beginning to end
| and those who could not see it this
afternoon should not fail to go this
evening. ISL. Il.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WILL
STAND HITCHED.

The one plea in behalf of Delegate
Smith il based on eauseless fear Of
joint statehood in the future and no
doubt some voters win be attracted to
his support in the belief that in some
way he can prevent jointure. They
have also been told that Mr.. Cooper
might. not stand firm.
Now, let US be reasonable. We do
not believe that if either AIr. Smith or
AIr. Cooper in the Sixtieth congress
We're to work for jointure it could be
effected. Senator Foraker is there and
his republican following viii be there.
The prevention of the admission Of
Arizona and New Mexico as a repubH-
can state is a democratic policy which
Mr.. Smith, supposing he wanted joint
ure. could not change. Democratic
senators are much more interested in
keeping republicans out of the senate
than they are in Mr.. Smith.
They had some reason for support
ing the Hamilton bill. which provided
for the admission Of the populous
democratic state Of Oklahoma and the
sparsely settled state of Arizona. They
had the better Of it. Yet they re-
Trained from doing it. not because of
Mr.. Smith but because they foresaw
what might come to pass would be to
their age-the admission of a
democratic state impaired by a repub-
lican state.
It is insane to believe. now Okla
homa is safe, that the democrats would
assist the admission of two more re-
publican senators to their body.
The democratic senators viii stand
hitched now; they need no watching
or lining up. But we want public
buildings and some governmental at
tention, which w. r. Cooper can secure.

AN UNFoRTUNATE CIRCULAR.

The republican county central com
mittee's attention a few days ago
was called to the intention of a citi-
zen to issue a circular attacking the
personal character of George Purdy
Billiard. This act was deprecated both
by the members of the committee and
| by Mr.. Lewis, the republican oppo-
nent of Mr.. Billiard. The chairman of
the committee called upon the alleged
intending authors of the circular and
begged that it might not issue if its
contents could be construed as an
attack upon the private life of Mr..
Billiard. The chairman said that the
campaign had been remarkably free
from personalities. The republicans
had conducted it wholly upon the mer-
its OF their own candidates and not
upon the dement's of any of their
opponents.
He Furthermore said that the cause
of Mr.. Lewis would be better served
if no circular of the character he had
understood that one to be. were
issued. While no promise was made
to the chairman he left with the I'M
Outstanding that the campaign would
not be marred by personalities.
It was learned yesterday that the
circular had been issued and distrib-
uted, and that it has been done is
regretted by none more sincerely than
by Mr.. Lewis and tbs republican cam
paign mana gers.
