A VICTORY THAT COUNTS.

VI Because Of the conspicuous position of a Unit
States senator the contest over the senatorshlp
the North Dakota primary has attracted atten-
nI1ltion outside of the state, and particularly in the
rseast, almost 10 the exclusion OF the state ticket, not
s.}withstdnding the fact that it was the state ticket in
(which the state took a real lively interest, and which
the campaign 'revolved.
Now that the figures are complete enough to
make the results certain, it is proper to direct at
e.stention to the fact that in the contest which the peO-
Eyp1c OF North Dakota regarded as of supreme i'm
y: portance, the independent forces, which are the
waforces of sane Liberalism, have won a signal and de-
y escisive victory.
sd Governor Ncstos has been renominated by a
81 Z. lajority over his league opponent OF nearly 10000,
with him have been nominated by correspond
ling 1najorities the: independent candidates for at
Atorney general and commissioner of agriculture and
who, with the governor, constitute, the Indus
,.Strial commission, and the independent candidate for
state treasurer, secretary of state and lieutenant
y governor, the latter, by virtue of his office, holding
the important position of president Of the senate.
e, The independent ticket w~as1lominated because
Tits members were committed to the policy of re-
trerlchment and reform. and to the three members
HTof the Industrial commission were given this hand
u some endorsement because they stock squarely on
Ia platform OF efficiency and economy in state ad-
Eminftration, and of vigor and good faith in carry
ing out the pledges made, long ago that the mill
sand elevator and farm loan programs would be pro-
d NOTED 4and developed. and that such unwise and
t0 unfortunate enterprises as the Home Building and
e Bank Of North Dakota departments would be closed
81 up as soon as their affairs could be got into order.
e The people of North Dakota have demonstrat-
II ed by their votes that they arc through with the
wild radicalism which for years has menaced the
e state. and which has cost it SO much in both money
a and reputation. They have given notice that they
will not countenance a return to the extravaganza
and incompetence which has characterized our state
y administration during the period Of league control.
with a very much reduced total vote, and with sew
a eral thousand votes diverted to Democratic, candi-
n dates, the majority given to Governor Nestos in the
81 recall election has been more than doubled.
q The victory is one which means much to the
81 state, for it demonstrates the fact that the people
aaof North Dakota have reached an appreciation Of
the real merits of s]oundness and stability in their
state institutions, and that North Dakota, while
progressive, is thoroughly sane.

THE. MAILS AND THE PUBLIC.

In the great railway strike of 1898 President
|Cleveland declared that the movement Of the mails
must be unhindered, and that he was prepared to
protect the movement OF the mails by the use of
all the force which might be necessary. The an
reinforcement of that policy, and the dispatch Of
troops to Chicago, practically ended the strike,
During the same strike a small detachment of reg
IulaTs was stationed at Grand Forks for a short
time, but there were no important disturbances
here, NOR were the. military forces actually needed.
a1.sSince that time it has been accepted that inter
Eference with the mails would be followed by the
dispatch oftroops and the use Of such other string
IIent measures as the government saw fit to employ.
a rule strikers are careful in their attitude to-
ward the mails. All this is quite proper. But
when we get right down to brass tacks, in what way
eiskthe dispatch of a letter of more importance than
The journey Of the writer of the letter over the
same ground?
In the transportation Of. the mails the govern
sn1ent is performing an important public service,
and II is Of the highest importance that the dispatch
lgof COMMUNICATIONS by mail be unimpeded. But is
NOT the right of the citizen to travel as sacred as his
right to have his messages carried !? In other words,
permit interference with a passenger train and
not with a mail train. And why allow any agency
It'll interfere directly or indirectly with the move
ylentsaof goods, which are essential to the com
sfoffsand welfare Of the people, and often to the
ssppreservation of life?
