which is the basis of all material prosperity

are engaged, as well as the interests of manu-

to offer the widest hospitality to emigrants who

willing to share the burdens well as the bene-
fits Of our society, and intending that their pos

Chinese to our Pacific coast partakes but little
of the qualities of such an emigration, either in
its purpose or its result. 1t is too much like an
importation to be welcomed without restric-

| upon without solcitude. We can not consent
to allow any form of servile labor to be intro
duced among us under the guise of immigra-
ton. Recognizing the gravity of this subject
the present Administration, supported by Con-
gress, has sent to China a commission of dis
tinguished citizens for the purpose of securing
such O modification of the existing treaty as
will prevent the evils likely to arise from the
present situation. 1t is confidently believed
that these diplomatic negotiations will be sue

Taxation Of Railroad lands:
Bismarck Tribune,

blsln2rck IrlDune.
The question Of the taxation OF the lands
transferred by the Northern Pacific rai.-
road company to private individuals has
been squarely considered BY Judge stearns
of Duluth, who has decided that they are
taxable: that the title to the land was
passed to the company BY the Law grant
ing them, and it was only necessary for
the company to complete the conditions
imposed upon them when the title to the
lands become absolutely vested in them.
The certified list required to be flled must
be regarded as simply confirming by ad-
ditional evidence, but in no sense beyond
that affecting the title. From converse
tions had with the judges of our territorial
courts the Tribune is satisfied they will
hold to the sameoview, SO We regard the ques
tion a. settled that the lands are taxable.

Dancing, cards, games and social conver-

THE SUN.

James L. Emmons editor and founder
Of the Bismarck Sun was among the snow
bound passengers who left Fargo last
Sunday moving, arriving here at five
o'clock Thursday evening. Emmons does
not, like the majority Of journalists, so
much on style. He wears q home made
suit of Kentucky jeans, colored shirt and
white paper collar. He weighs about Que
hundred and thirty pounds; is dark com.
plexioned and has long black hair, and =
wicked eye. He looks like man who
would stay by those he knew to be his
friends to the last; and would take great
pleasure in heaping red hot embers OF retort
upon the heads Of his enemies.
Mr.. Emmons furnished us with copy Of
the first issue Of the Sun, which looks
very commendablei indeed. The eventual
prosperity Of the Sun will depend largely
upon the judgment of its proprietor.
