MIDLAND AND GREATNORTHERN

There is considerable railway news in
the air. The Midland proposed route is
said to have been changed eastward and
will run through Larimore and part of
Grand Forks Co. AS we understand it
some of the farmers along the first line
surveyed, refused to give right of way
and wanted exhorbitant prices for the
lands. Logan township farmers in Grand
Forks county were more than willing to
have it come their way and hence the
change. Orders have been given to the
surveyors at jamestown to engage teams
for grading the road south from James
town to Edgeley. There will be three
gangs employed at different points and
work is expected to begin about May 1st.
The Manitoba Gazette (government)
announces that the Great Northern will
build line from Noyes Emerson) to
Winnipeg the coming summer as we'll as
several other lines connecting at the
boundary in Manitoba and west.
Persistent rumors and trade indi.
cations go to show that the merger of
the N. P. and q. N. is being dissolved
and that each road will soon be acting
entirely independent of each other. 1t
is said thae the N. P. is being absorbed
By the Northwestern, which is Harri
many Vanderbilt road and that the G. N.
will run its Chicago business over the
Burlington.
These changes, with near completion
of the Milwaukee to the coast and the
extension of the Grand Trunk through
the Canadian north to the Pacific, will
make many new things in railway cir
cles during the next few years.

NOT A PARTY ELECTION.

The Herald sees opportunity to read
us sermon because we deplored the
organization of the House by the in
surgents while we seem pleased that the
senate was organized by the stalwarts.
The criticism of the Pioneer Express
was not directed in any manner to either
the gentlemen elected in the House nor
yet of those defeated. That was a
small matter and in itself personal. The
Pioneer Express however does sincerely
regret that the insurgents still seem to
find it necessary to make the division of
the Republican party distinct and
paramount issue. There was an effort
by the stawarts to eliminate this issue
from the legislature, but preliminary
caucus at Grand Forks before the sess.
ion, direct signing up of incoming
members at Bismarck and a preliminary
insurgent caucus, all tell story of ''irre-
pressible conflict" on the part of the in
that we as member OF the Republican
party, regret sincerely to see and know,
as we believe that it finally means the
total disruption of the party in this state
with the consequent results in future
elections. If Mr.. Burdick had been
elected as Republican we should have
been pleased, though for local reasons
we would have preferred our Mr.. Nc
Crea, but if Mr.. Burdick was elected as
an insurgent only, then we are certainly
If Mr.. Burdick was elected as speaker
by the same men and for the same
reasons as they voted for Gov. Burke,
then Mr. Burdick's election was not an
election by the Republican party.

atorial districts, ten of the districts with
80 legislators and With combined
majority of 1900 might elect all the
legislators favorable to Mr.. A. The
other three districts with nine legls.
lators might elect all of them as favor
able to Mr.. B. with combined majority
of 5000, Mr.. B. being "favorite SON
and receiving about all The votes cast
without reference to party. Now, accord
ing to the Herald, the ten districts with
their 30 senators and representatives
ought to change over and vote for Mr..
B. with the minority of nine from the
other three districts, because the other
three districts had a greater popular
majority than the ten.
That doctrine would either abolish
the senates of the states and of congress
or would make them as large as the
; houses OF representatives, and would
either make the electoral college nearly
double in size or abolish it altogether.
Personally we believe the fathers of
the republic acted wisely in allowing the
matter of locality to have standing in
this government. States stand for some-
thing more than mere population. The
senate means very much in lawmaking.
The president should not be selected by
the unanimous vote. of any one part of
the country.
The Pioneer Express believes in a
popular choice for us. senators. Its
method however is radically different
from thai of the Herald, and, unlike that
of the Herald, conforms to the general
plan of the U. S. constitution. We be-
lieve that each state legislator is respon-
sible only to his own constituents who
elected him and of whom he is the per
sonal representative. Because he is
their representative and theirs only, he
should heed their desires and only their
desires. That at the primary and gener-
al election the choice of the people of
his district as expressed on their ballots
should be his gnide on the senatorial
candidates. Not what majority of the
whole state say but just what the major
ity of the voters who voted for him in
his own district want.

REPRESENTATION BY AND FOR
LOCALITY.

The Herald and Bismarck Tribune are
discussing the election of senators by
popular vote. At the risk of butting in
as we'll as repeating ourselves too often,
we would again call attention to Wit
al and underlying principles of the gov.
ernment of this republic.
This is representative government
and not democracy. 1t is true that to
some degree we are democratic. Gov
ernors and representatives are elected
by popular vote but presidents and sena-
tors are selected by representatives cleo
ted by the people.
The arguments of the Herald would
make us pure democracy nearly. The
Herald seems to want to eliminate all
partisanship; wants everything done di-
rectly by the people; wants the people
to elect all officers; wants the people to
make all the laws-and if carried out to
the extreme of it's argument, we would
need no officials whatever or represent
atives of any kind. Whenever there was
question to be decided, law to be made
or any other matter of public interest
whatever, just let the people vote on it.
OF course the absurdity of this extreme
conclusion is apparent-that is, it is
apparent that do what we may, we must
stop somewhere in referring everything
to the people.
There is another idea that comes into
this question, which has always been a
most important part of the principles of
the federal government and to some ex-
tent of the state government-that is,
the question of locality. In congress
each state has but two votes in the
senate. Hence the. state of North Da-
kota has just as much power in the fna
possage of law IN congress as has New
York. Again, if the president were cleo
ted by popular vote then at this last
election it would have been quite posi-
bic to have elected Bryan as president,
if the southern states had cast their full
vote, as they probably would have done
in that case. Many Of our presidents in
the past have been elected by a minority
of votes of the whole people.
In the state itself, similar loca divi-
sions are made called senatorial districts.
Each has senator and more or less re-
pkesentatives according to population,
running from one to three, thus carrying
out the same idea. First representation
as to and for locality and second for and
as to population.
Thus for instance we might have an
election in which the election Of a U s..
senator was the principal issue. II the
state was composed Of, say thirteen. sem

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

A session of court was held on Thurs.
day evening of last week in order to close
up the business of the term and allow
the court attendants from distance to
take the morning trains for home.
The jury in the Bell case, in which
Bell was charged with burglary in the
third degree by breaking into granary,
after being out for thirty hours con-
tinued to disagree and were discharged
by the judge. The real question before
the jury was whether Bell was too drunk
to know what he was doing or not.
Atty. Laxdal's splendid plea for his eli
ent undoubtedly had much to do with
the result. Bell was bound over for
another trial.
The jury in the case of Karls and his
mother, Mrs. Startz, brought in verdict
of guilty against both parties but re-
commended the mercy of the court in
the case of the woman. Peter Karls was
sentenced to 80 days in Jail and 5000.
fine and the costs of the action. The
place of business was ordered closed for
one year and the fine and costs made a
lien on the building. Mrs. Startz was
released on her own bond to appear for
sentence if so ordered in the future.
These were the only jury trials of the
term.
In the blind pig cases, VIM. Claughton
and Henry Henucks were released on
$500. bonds to appear for sentence when
ordered. Geo. Hunter who also plead
guilty was given so days, $500. fine and
costs which were made lien on the
building.
j. II. Galbraith who plead guilty to
two infractions of the prohibition law
was given SO days, $500. fine and costs to
be worked out at 50. q day, and premises
to be closed for one year. On the second
otfense he was bound over in $500. to
appear for sentence when ordered.
A large number of old criminal cases
which were on the calendar in which the
defendants have either left the country
or gone out of business or for want of
witnesses were stricken from the calen-
dar. Those were F. E. Russell, en-
bezzlement; VIM. Verboncour, common
nuisance; And. Robinson, common
