Getting Into Close Quarters.

The farmers of northern Dakota and
many of those i'm Minnesota, says the
Duluth Tribune, have been holding
back their wheat in the hope of secur
ing better prices than the market has
so far offered. 1t is pretty well known
that large majority Of the farmers OF
Dakota are much more involved in
debt than those in Older settled ircgiOns,
and us this is true of all new countries,
Dakota is probably no worfe off in this
respect than WAS Minnesota few years
ago. To he sure questionable methods
have been rcsorted to by land sharks
and scalpers in inducing poor people
to locate in sections of Dakota, and that
partial failure in crops should have
resulted last fall, followed by low prices
tor grain, renders the situation any
thing but agreeable. Numberless farm
ers have located in Dakota during the
the past two years who had barely
means sufficient to make the first pay
ment on their land, trusting to Provi.
dence for crops to let them out, and the
patience of their creditors to tide them
over, in case the former did not accom-
plish what they had been led to be-
lievc, through eager land agents, would
assurcdly he the Case. Receiving less
tn an half the crop they expected, many
farmers now refuse to sell their wheat
until an advance in the market shall
occur. TO this the creditors strenuous
ly object, claiming their inability to
carry those indebted to them, and as II
bit OF information to our readers, we
make an extract from a circular which
is being sent to Dakota farmers, show
ing the straight to which they will be
driven.
Many farmers have been holding their
wheat for better prices, that could have
sold for eighty-six cents per bashel, and
are now selling their wheat for seventy
eight cents. After deducting insurance
and elevator charges they find it would
have been better tor them if all their
creditors had insisted upon their selling
as soon as they had threshed. Now
they wish to hold still longer, feeling
certain that wheat will bring better
prices after awhile; but we cannot wait
We must have the money due US, and
that without Celay. ! see not reason
why wheat should advance. The lakes
are closed, or will DE soon, and trans
poratiOn by rail to the east will be
greater. | know the price is low, but
the farmers are at the mercy Of wheat
spectators all over the country, and
they make the price to suit themselves
and you cannot help yourselves. They
are now getting all the wheat they can
handle at present prices; we cannot
wait tor our money, and let them
speculate in wheat. We shall insist
upon full payment Of all notes due, at
as early day rs you caC market
enough grain TO pay us. We are not
going to make any extensions. The
crops have been fair, and we think, as
rule, farmers are as able to pay this fall
- they will be next.

of the question of their ciNil rights, In
view OF the recent decision OF the SUI

rights In public conveyances. Con-
gress doubtless has the power to adopt

senger traffic on railroads and steam
boats, but IL has no authority to legis-
late concerning hotels, restaurants or
places OF public amusement.
This latter power rests only with the
states. II may be exercised by all
and probably has been exercised hy
some of the states. IL Is not generally
known that there is in New York a
law even more comprehensive in the
civil rights secured to rolored citizens
than the act of congress Just SET aside.
Section 3s3 of the penal code is rs fol-
lows:--
No citizen of this state can, by
reason of race, color or previous condi-
ton of servitude, be excluded from tho

tinn, facility or privilege furnished by
inn-kcepers or common carriers, or by

or other places of amusement by
teachers and officers of com
mon schools and public institutions

ton isn misdemeanor punishable 10y u

This law may bc unconstitutional so

Therefore, be 1t resolved that we
