Major Edwards,of the Fargo Forum, has a letter from Capt. George Aulid, of Company K, North Dakota volun- ‘teers, dated Mabilla, May 22. The captain’s home is‘in Dickinson, Starr county, and at the time he was mus- tered in he ws the county auditor, e,ected on the Republican ticket, and" also a prominent G. A. R.: man. Among other things the captain says: -“‘] saw in the papers the other, day that the president informed Senator Pettigrew that Gen. Otis had cabled that the volunteers did not want to be sent home. I think the president was giving the senator a fairy tale. If the volunteers don’t want to go home, I neyer in my life saw any body that did. 1 will venture to say that the only persons in the . volunteers who wish to stay are regular army officers commanding volunteer regi- ‘ments, say captains and first lieuten- ants in the regular army who are now enjoying the rank and pay of colonels. There is today 1 percent of the volun- te who desire to remain. From ‘our standpoint the war for which we volunteered is over; we did not enlist in the Philippines to fight niggers in the jungles. The difference in trans- portation facilities allowed the yolun- teers and the regulars is very marked. While the regulars are fitted out with mule teams, the volunteers have to ‘be content with single bull carts, and when the bulls lie down and die, as “they did the first few days out on this last-expedition, the First North Da- kota had to turn in and pull the carts Ts themselves.” —e— Judge Steele has had the Republi- can state central committee together ‘once more without setting the world turning the other way, but not with out the usual ‘break * being made. ‘This time there were several, one to increase the power of the Republican ‘pureau to do harm, and the other to be in having invited ex-Weighmester C.M. Reese, of Hennepin, to make report on the Swedes of Hennepin. ‘The judge will not have another until September, owing to the engagements ‘of Tams Bixby, Goodnow, Byrnes and ‘other parts of the “ machine.” —i- WHILE the peace commission of civilization is in session at The Haugue, by original invitation of the czar of Russia—while the people ‘of the civilized world are arguing for ‘the practical disarmament of all na- ‘bions—the great liberty-loving citi- zens of the United States are spend- ing millions upon millions of dollars to shoot cowardly submission into the Phillipinos and the Cubans.

CHIEF FIRE WARDEN’S REPORT. Gen. C, C. Andrews’ Fourth Annual Contains Exhaustive Details of the Work. The chief fire warden of the state, Gen. C. C. Andrews, has compiled in a very complete manner the result of the labors of his department during the-past year, a copy of which is be- fore us through the courtesy of Mr. A. EB. Wilder, who was f»vored with the document ahead of the general distribution. The report contains a detailed account of the meth- ods employed by the warden and his numerous deputies throughout ) state would protect. the timber; the timbered regions of the state. His conclusions are that a great good has been accomplished through the Dperations of the present system. In comparison with the numerous disas trous fires in other timber states Minnesota is able to make a very creditable showing. ‘The warden has made his report. veryrattractive by producing numerous fine engravings of scenes taken in the forests of this vicinity. Concerning Itasca state park the warden says: “In August I spent a day looking over the Itasca State parkin company with the superintentent, and walked several miles through thick primeval woods. Isaw some handsome. exclu- sively pine forest, also considerable forest of large leaved trees mixed with pine, balsam and spruce. ‘Though not as rich in forest as some other [o- calities in the state, itis yet — well enough wooded to make a desirable park, aside from the interests attach- ing to it as containing the source of the Mississippi river. Evidently there is much wild game in its limits. ‘The only means to travel through the park at present is by boat. Its benefit to visitors would be very great- ly promoted by the constructivn of paths and roads; and us soon as prac- ticable the state should employ a landscape engineer to lay out and con- Struct a system of roads and paths. Such improvements would add im- mensely tothe attractiveness and value of the patk. Towards this park congress contributed as a gift 7,000 acres on condition tkat the and the only means for its protection from fire thus far, besides what the super- intendent can do individually, is through the fire warden law. An- other portin of the park, comprising 2,452 acres, was bought by the state of the Northern Pacific railroad company at fifty cents per acre. The ,state 1s to be congratuled on the wise and fairly liberal action of the last legislature in appropriating 20,000 to purchas timber tracts within the boundaries of the park which still belong to private individuals and which through lumbering, were liable soon to become denuded of forest cover and in a way to expose the rest of the park to serious danger from fires. Chapter 303, of the general laws of 1899, making the above mentioned $20,000 appropation, further provides that in case said appropriation shall become exhausted, and it shall tran- spire that timber is liable to be cut from any landjwithin:the limits of the park, the attorney general shall eu- deavor to secure from the owner of such land an vption to purchase the same furaterm not exceeding two years, which shall contain an ayree- ment that the timber thereon Shall remain undisturbed. He may pay for said option, if secured, a sum not exceeding four'per cent per annum of such term, upon the value of said land as the same may be estimated by him. Atvapproviation of $1,000 was made to enable him to securé such, option.” Powers dehvers goods to any part . ! of the city. ; ‘THE LEADER LEADS food articles. The 14 manufacturers of oleomargarine, backed by $46,000,- 000 of trust money, have doubled their product within the last year, tons on tons of which come into this state to rob the farmer and dairyman Thede partment is relentlessly pursuing the adulterators of lard, with the deter- mination, if possible, to drive every pound of the bogus stuff out of Min- nesota. There is not a corporation operating this stuff-in the state but has .been proceeded against. Oleo and bogus lard have got to go. Astomshing Campaign of William Jennings Bryan. MALIGNED PARTISAN PRESS. Who Was It Feared He Would Break Down or “Say Too Mach?”— * * been, has been prolific of good results. His magnificent personality seems to dispel illusions, strengthen the weak, subdue the fractions and the factions, bring concord out of disagreements. and above all lift’ to the high plane of principle and right, where local or selfish interests incline to lower stan - dards. We have seen such wonderful fruits as in New York, where’ the regular organization. is certain to come to the next convention prepared at least to ‘take its medicine.” In the west the union of forces certain- ly is foreshadowed; the south come solidly into line again; Kentucky re- united, assuring a great victory there this year and next; Gorman’s Mary- land, swinging iuto line for Bryan; Illinois; Towa, Nebraska, — Ohio, Pennsylvania, in fact. each and every portion of the country visited by Mr. Bryan bas responded most significant- ly. As this bureau has constantly muintained, Byran’s renomination by as near acclamation as it can be done under Democratic procedure is as fixed as fate, and with it the reaftirm- ation of the doctrines and pledges of the regenerated Democracy which is the hope of the country. * . é The Ohio outlook is very favorable for Democratic success. As to Mr. McLean, his attitude is that if nomi- nated for governor he will accept. And this seems likely to be done. If Mr. McLean could not sweep the Buckeye state it is certain that no mancan do so. And should he be nominated and elected: in would put him right in line to succeed Mr. Bryan in-the white house. * * The complete demise of the Gor- man boom for president is noted by the Springtield (Mass.) Republicat, in disposing of which ‘The Republican very well observes that Gorman *S ex- cels in every manipulation and use of language to conceal thought,”’ while “Mr. Bryan is ove of the most in- genuous men who hive ever been con- spicuous in our politics.” * * Bixby, otherwise Astute Tams, is | Working a Smooth game.

He is going to be a very busy mana little later on. * . A like specimen case is the treat- ment of Mayor Gray of Minneapolis. imputing only political motives to his veto of the rapid transit. ordinance. And, by the way, a paragraph com- meading such action was accidentally omitted from the last bureau letter. Mayor Gray vetoed the proposed sur- render of the streets of the city toa monopoly on the highest of grounds and gave absolutely. unanswerable reasons therefor. It is perfectly cer- tain, also, that he has the approval of the great masses of the people. ‘That it was also good politics is be- cause it is always good politics to do what is right and of sonnd policy. Watch results in the Minneapolis hustimgs and see if Mr. Gray is not appro ved—not by the corporation con- trolled council of course, nor by the corporation owned. press, but by the people when they reach it in passing on the mayor’s administration. * * GREED. There’s a hideous beast abroad in the land, A beusg of 2 mongrel breed, With the bead of a wolf, the wings of a bat, The paunch of « hog and the claws of a cat, and the name of this beast is “Gre . | Phere’s nut a home on the prairie lone Untouched by his cruel. paws, There's not a child in the crowded town Where rents go up and wages down, But is torn by his horrid jaws. I And his cry, half scream, half roar, On the night wind rises, * More ! More blood todrink From hearts that stik— More! More! More!” Sometimes to the loathsome mine he crawls. Where the white slaves toil in gang Far down as the stroke of pick is heard. On the heart where hope is never stirred, He fastens his cruel fangs; Sometimes to the garret foul he flies,: Where the sw shop reeks with death,” Where the ey robbed of uster bright, And the rosy cheektgrows pale with fright, ') As it feels his fetid breath ! * A complete file of the daily reports of the recent Buffalo political con- ference shows that the Associated Press reports were, as usual. shame- fully unfair. The meeting was an earnest. enthusiastic presentation of views from-different standpvints, on current economic and political topics, and while there were - differences of opinion, the general conclusion to be drawn is that the drift is strong against the prominent Republican policies, and that opposition thereto will be effective and vigorous in next year’s campaign. Anti-monopoly, anti-militarism, government and municipal centrol of the utilities, ennobling and protection of labor, taxation reform, are among the chief topics covered, and it is*certain that the great majority of the, forces, rep- ; resented at Buffalo will be found sup- porting Bryan next year. * * * Noincident has better illustrated the difference in fairness between the city and country press, than the treatment of the state officials in'clos- ing thé St. Paul Savings Bank. ‘The country press have generally as- sumed that the governor and public examiner have acted on their best judgment, with regard only for the best interests of the people, and in fearless discharge of their sworn duty, while the city partisan press almost without exceptien have impugned the motives of both officials, showing the-usual malignity. These officials can very safely leave the outcome to the people themselyes. after the court in whose hands the case is at present has passed upon it. The people know vhery well that -had there been an , hatf-roar, “More! And his cry, half-screa: On the night-wind rises, More blood to drink From hearts that sink— More! Moré! More!” By the drops.that fell from his dripping mouth, T have tracked him to his lair, ’Twas not in the wilds of a jungle dense, But within the palace-walls immense Of u lofty millionaire: I have see 1 him fix his-biood-shot eyes On the inmates, one by one, ‘Till the face refined, and the grace of mind Grew ull-deformed, and the heart once kind. Was turned to a heart of stone. And his ery, half-scream On,the night-wind rises, More blood to drink From heurts that sink— More! More! More!" Willa sampson soon in his wrath arise Todestroy this hideous beast? Or some skilled enchanter seek his lair, And move him in sudden rage to tear All the inmates for his feast? Once Rome to this monster fell a prey, When her sons became her slaves, And ere /his ravages reach an end, O, Rich, he may turn on you and rend— Then fly to his hell-buund caves! And his ery, half-screnm, half-rour, Will be sometime heard no more— But a white-winged dove Shall sing of love, As it flits from shore to shore. —Churles A. Sheftied, in Minnea polis Times.
