BRIBERY IN NORTH DAKOTA.

The arrest of B. ]. Ness, former
Devils Lake druggist and we'll known
to most of our citizens, at Bismarck
yesterday, caused something of sea-
eation in all parts Of the state.
Ness arrest was made on a warrant
sworn to by Representative Guy Divet
Of Richland county, who charges that
Ness offered him the sum Of $4,000
to use his influence to kill the anti
snuff bill, which is now before the leg
islature. T. L. Twichell, of Cass coun'
ty. is also mentioned as having been
offered bride.
The arrest of Ness comes as a cul-
mination of rather exciting cam
paign to kill the bill mentioned and i
has been more or less openly talked
for some time that the American To
bacco Company was putting up a
large fund to be used to beat the bill
when the time came.
Out11 al tilC AHttS CIV hHuhu w
are not prepared to pass judgment on
Ness nor any other man connected with
&he scandal, # it shall prove scandal,
but we venture the assertion that if
Ness is guilty, then more than ona
member of the legislature will be
caught in the same net, if the invessi-
cation is pressed.
1t has become altogether too common
en- the part of few great American
corporations to use money in state leg.
islatures to kill bills which are inim-
real, or thought to be inimical to their
interests, or which threaten to cut off
some of their privileges. And on The
other hand many Of the bills apparent
ly aimed at the corporations are moth
ing more nor less than t'snake down. -
or bills intended to make corporations
pay to have defeated. Il is rather a
harsh thing to say, and one not easily
proven, hut we are firmly Of the be-
lief that money, and money in com.
paratively large sums, is used, or at
tempt is made to use it, every SEES
sion of the Legislature in many states,
and this includes North Dakota.
Whether the investigation which the
Ness incident has started, amounts to
anything or not, depends largely on the
temper Of the members of the legisla-
ture themselves. It should be pressed
home and every man guilty of offering
or accepting brides gwen good long
term in the penitentiary.

PARTY HARMONY

The Herald has watched with
interest the discussion that has
followed the recent republican
mass convention in Sioux Falls.
So far as it was a sincere attempt
to secure party harmony it was
worthy of encouragement. But
the fact that Governor Byrne
did not attend is of interest as is
also the fact that the meeting
was instigated and carried out by
his political enemies.
There is one phase of the sit
uation which so far seems to
have been overlooked to which
the Herald will call attention.
Under that curious act known as
the Richards" primary par
ticipation in party caucus is made
conditional on enrolment which
mus take place months before
the primary. After January
first of each year the books are
closed. Under the circam-
stances it can be seen that the
faction that succeeds in getting
it's members enrolled is going to
win. The Sioux Falls meeting
appointed state and county com
mittees to take charge of the en-
rollment of the voters. While
the meeting was called in the
name of harmony it is not denied
that these committees were made
up almost entirely from mem
bers of the old stalwart repub-
lican faction and the sworn ene-
mics of Governor Byrne nd his
friends.
This committee is now trying
to start a state wide vement
to secure the enrolment of re-
publican voters. If the commit.
tee can succeed and Crawford
and Byrne can be kept quiet it
will be found when the primary
comes around tie progressives
might as we'll save the expense
of running. With the enroll
ment in the hands of a shrewd
and aggressive stalwart commit
tee so few progressives will be
found registered that they will
be defeated in every precinct in
the state although having a
numerical majority in the state.
This paper is not al present
taking any sides in the coming
factional fight. We are merely
calling attention TO the fact that
the next primary campaign will
be won in a race for enrolment
and that the stalwart faction has
already got a statewide organ.

their friends names on the roll.

TIE DAVIS CELEBRATION

Our sister town of Davis pulled
off her two days celebration last
week. The weather was fine, the
attendance good and the attractions
excellent. The ball game on the
first day was won by Viborg and the
novelty automobile race Ry Fritz
Schultz. On the second day some
two hundred Hurley people went
over with their ball team, only to
see Lennox walk off with the long
end of the score. The races on the
street after the game were good
and closely contested, the tug Of
war between Davis and Hurley was
won by the boys from the latter
town. Good order was maintained
throughout the daytime, but they
do say that things "hummed" at
night. For a town the size Of Davis
the celebration and the way it was
handled was very creditible.

Yes, if they wish to commit po-
litical suicide. But if they wisI.
fighting chance to win next
March they will start at once a
campaign to get their side of the
family on the enrolment shee ts.
The actual purpose of the
Sioux Falls meeting was not
harmony but instead the re.
habililating of a defeated faction.
A harmony enrolment commit
tee composed entirely of stall
warts does not invite confidence.

Old Swan Lake
By Joseph Andrews

Vlu W W uA HuAO
By Joseph Andrews
At Swan Lake we had many
social functions that helped to
pass the long winter months
away, and we had numerous in
tellectual feasts, for we had
among our number some good
debators. There were T. 3.
Buchanan, s. F.. Andrews, w.
H. Harrison. Joseph and Kim
Berry, Thielman and others who
could discuss the great questions
of the day with vim and elo-
quence. But the visitation of the
grasshoppers and other inan-
cial drawbacks kept us so poor
that we could get no financial
benefits from the Grange and it
collapsed so suddenly that no
meeting was ever called, or re-
ceiver appointed to settle up it's
financial affairs. At that time
there was, l think, about $41. 90
in cash in the treasury, and two
notes given, one by Mr.. Harrison
for $500, and one by T.. S.
Fessenden for $500. AS was
treasurer, the notes and money
were in my keeping. The notes
were burned when my house
was burned in July, 1877, and the
money would have gone up in
smoke if 1 had not previously
invested it in seed wheat. It
must have been in the spring OF
1875 that after consulting with
Mr.. Theilman aud Joseph Berry
