Death OF A. X. Mcclure.

A notable man passed away at Phila-
delphia June 6, in the person or Col.
Alexander X. Mcclure, known all over
the country for his yoluminous writ
ings. He was another illustration of
how under our institutions places of the
greatest importance and influence are
open to boys born under the most ad-
verse conditions.
Mcclure was born in Sherman's Val
ley, Pa, Jan. s., 1928. His father was a
small farmer, and he began life as a
tramp tanner. He tramped and worked
over much of the country, and then his
attention was turned to the printing
business. and he started in with the
Sentinel at Miffiin. He succeeded better
at this than he had at what was a more
Lucrative profession, and became known
as vigorous Whig writer. Next he
bought an interest in the Chambers
burg Repository, with which he took a
strong stand against slavery. He was
member of the first Republican Con-
vention in Pennsylvania in 1855, and
then was Delegate to the Convention
which nominated Fremont. He wa;
elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature
as Republican, and then went as a
Delegate to the Convention which nom
mated Lincoln. At the critical time
he helped turn the Pennsylvania dele
CATION from Cameron over to Lincoln.
and secured the latter's nomination as
against Seward. He was strong Union
man during the war. but in '72 was ac-
tive in forming the Liberal Republican
Party. which nominated Horace Gree
ley. Undiscouraged py that defeat, he
and Frank Mclaughlin the next year
established the Philadelphia Times on
a slender capital, and speedily built it
up into fine newspaper property. He
conducted the Times from 1873 to 1901,
when he retired from active work, and
was made Prothonotary of the Penn
sylvania Supreme Court. His works,
which will survive him and be Of inter-
est to the historian as well as the gen.
eral reader, are: Lincoln and Men Of
War Times" "Our Presidents and How
We Make Them" "Recollections of
Half Century and Old-Time Notes of

County, Ga. about IL miles from the
present town of Fitzgerald. His party
consisted of his family, Postmaster
General Reagan, various staff officers
and dozen private soldiers. The Con-
federates, in camp in the woods, were
surprised early in the morning. In the
confusion the 1st Wis. and 4th Mich
Cav. fired upon each other, and killed
one officer and two men and wounded
three others of the 1st Wis. The firing
aroused Davis, and he, leaving his tent
with a woman's waterproof and a shawl
thrown around his shoulders by one of
the servants, started with bucket in
his hand, apparently for a neighboring
spring to get water, hoping to escape
in the melee of the roundup of his as
sociates. The articles he had on when
taken were sent to the War Depart
ment at Washington by Lieut.-Col
Pritchard. of the 4th Mich, who was
in command of the Union expedition.

DID TAFT ERR?

President 1afts Winona speech was a
surprise to the Republicans Of the middle
west When the President signed the tar
sF bill. he explained to the people that he
did SO, because he considered it the best bill
that could possibly be passed at that time,
sitho he was not satisfied with it i'll every
,.artieuIar At Winona. he repeated this
statement, in substance, and then proceed
ed to chastisc severely the lnsurgent Re
publican Senator's and Congressman, who
did not vote for the bill. Now, the people
Of the middle west as a rule, favored re-
sSrcron of the tariff on many things which
were left as they were formerly. or even
raised. The Insurgents no doubt believed
shat they were voicing the sentiments OF
sAeir constituents, when they voted as they
did, and even tho they had made an error,
which is not so certain. they should not be
asad out of the party Tie Pc IS al

but in some things he appears to be weak.

srnt has three wears yet in which to make

show signs of doing SO. The American peo-

PREPARING STATEMENT.

u. M. Steele, an expert from Mlnnea polls,
who was secured recently by County AUDI
tor Larson to prepare statement tN Ward
county, has the statement we'll under way,
tho the independent is not at liberty to
make public any of the figures yet. The
commissioners from the two counties are
to meet in Joint session on Oct. 20, to try
70 arrive at an amlcable settlement, tho the
independent hardly believes that a settle
men can be made outside the courts. The
Ward county commissioners do not want
70 resort to the courts, and will not do SO,
only as a last resort.
4 state officer, who did not give his name,
published an article recently IN the Grand
works Herald, showing that the primary
election law, makes it next to impossible
iQy a nlall OF ordinary means to run for
a1tce, on account OF the big expense at
tachcd to the campaign. This may be one
oi the things that can be SAID against the
primary election law, which while lar from
being perfect, is considered better than the
old convention method. North Dakota
will never be satisfied to go back to the Old
method. Something may have to be done,
which will enable the candidates to cut
down their expenses. This would seem to
be the better way.
TIN, is the season OF the year when the
ehrity FARMER Is settling up his year bills
and in doing SO, he should not overlook the
newspaper man who has been labOring
m9hly hard for the past twelve months
for thar dollar The independent has per
hav> 5000 subscribers whose subscriptions
arc due to this tilne or will be before Janu
airy I. That little dollar to each one OF Oyu
does not mean much, you'd hardly miss 1t,
and vet in the aggregate, they mean so
much 70 the newspaper. Don't think that
the publisher will never miss it, If you

Get dollars worth of good, in seeing the

Moneved men from the east are hocking
to Ward county to acquire land, before it
reaches point where there is not SO good
chance for speculation. a few wears ago
Illinois farmers would not allow themselves
to believe that North Dakota possessed
many good qualities, and the land man who
went there telling the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, was con-
sdered sure enough liar Today. they are
1ocking here by the score, glad to buy un
improved farms for SIS or $50 an acre,
realizing that within five years. it will be
worth $50 an acre. Some are coming here
to live, and naturally these are the most
welcome land buyers. Others are buying
merely for speculation. Some Of them will
improve their farms, put good renters on
them, and in this way will benefit North
Dakota Others ave buying. purely for spec
ulation, and will hold their land. in the
hopes OF its increase in vale, depending on
the actual farmers to enhance the general
average price Of lands. We need more ac-
tual farmers in North Dakota We need
smaller farms and better farming. We need
farmers who will diversity. We need
good farmer on every quarter section OF
land. A farmer can make a good living on

That a government is making it harder
all the time for people to secure title to
land is shown by decision recently rem
dered by Acting Commissioner S. "
Proudtlt OF the general land Office. 1t is
wide in scope and comes at an opportune
time as warning to people who attempt
to get title to government land for spec,lla-
tive purposes. In the case in question a
photographer filed on a claim and after the
stated time submitted his evidence and then
attempted to prove up on his claim.

the case to be as follows:
