ENTENTES
Between Various European
Powers Not Affected by
Meeting Of Kings

Berlin, Aug. 15.-South German
which is published
here and usually is inspired by
Prince Won Buelow, imperial chan
cellor, dealing with the recent meet
ing between King Edward, Emperor
William and Francis Joseph, says:
THE meetings between the severe
igns in Ischl will not bring about a
new grouping of the powers. On the
contrary, the tendency seems to be
against the formation of definite
groupings. This tendency does
mean that present ententes will be
affected, but that there is a lfke1i.
hood that the Anglo--Russian action
in Macedonia in connection with the
reform plan at presen will be passed
to the background. Recognition Of
the integrity of the Turkish empire,
which has been Germans desire, has
now become an axiom among the
great powers. The change in She
European situation was begun before
the meetings in cronberg and Ischl
and these have confirmed 1T and the
general result is that the tension Ii
relaxed.

MARCHING TO VICTORY.

Indications now point to the cleo
ton of the Republican state ticket
from top to bottom W an old-time
majority. The meeting of the can
didates, newspaper men and party
workers at Fargo Saturday was a
most harmonious gathering and a
great deal of enthusiasm was evinced
by both sides which fought so gal
lantly for the mastery at the late
primaries. All effects of the strug-
gle seems to have been forgotten
in the general and genuine desire
for harmony and the party will march
TO victory next fall a solid and in
vincible phalanx.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUABBLES BARRED.

The Mandan Republican prints a
vivid description of the recent storm
in the city and in the next arti-
Gle takes a fall out of the Tribune
for publishing essentially the same
details and attributes a mean desire
on the part Of this paper to injure
Mandan. The story published by the
Tribune was. CLEANED from several
reliable business men of Mandan,
and, coming from them was suppos-
eddy correct, it being scarcely pos
sible residents of that city would go
abroad to injure it in the eyes of the
world.
There is no basis for the statement
that the Tribune tslies awake nights"
watching for a chance to get a
ISLAM" at her neighbor across the
Big Muddy. On the contrary, this
paper and the people of Bismarck,
have a lively appreciation of the
progressive city of Mandan-it would
be poor policy not to be thoroughly
awake to it's energy and go aheada-
tiveness-but the old time jealousies
have been brushed aside and we on
the east side can with all good faith
and candor extend the hand of fell
lowship to our neighbor and wish her
well. There is room on the Slope
for both towns-for two good towns
and no room for petty jealousies
which but amuse their object and be-
numb the energies of the afflicted.
Healthy rivalry is an incentive to
greater effort, and effort, properly
directed, will leave little time foI
IDLE pickering over real or fancied
grievances. Let both towns expand
their efforts along the many prolific
lines of betterment open to all.

EFT til BRUTE.

Even our friend, the Mandan Pho
neer, says unkind things about Bis
marck this week, which seems out
of joint with reforms advocated by
that bright newspaper and the other
wise nice matter published weekly.
In mentioning the effort being made
to organize boosters club in Man
dan, the Pioneer rings in this:
Have we the stamina to make
it the Mandan country-that is
to make Mandan such a city that
it will draw trade and be the
leading center of business actiV-
ity from the Missouri to the Mon
tana line eastward from the Mis-
souri, on the north to South Da-
kota, and eastward to the valley
ffor undoubtedly Bismarck will
never be much greater than it is
merely a temporary residential
point for state officials, clubs and
other employes.)
And then the Pioneer pays this
tribute to Bismarck's future: 3d.:
The east side of the great Mis-
souri,, being in all cases the ideal
side for great cities. -@

proposition was not Endorsed by the

comes to the front with irresistible
force. The feeling, after all is the
same in the north as in the south,
in regard to the negro when he as
suits white woman. Nothing but
death by violence seems competent
to wipe out the stain, and as a re-
suit ofttimes much precious blood,
as we'll as that of the guilty, is shed.
This was the case in the city where

given to the cause of the negro.
