The legislatures of many OF the states
have by enactment required the publica-
tion of all the laws mads at the session
in at least one newspaper in each county
with just compensation to the publisher.
The plan is such good one that it
might be adopted with salutary effect in
the territory of Dakota. 1t would be the
means of acqualnting many with the laws
who now remain lgnorant OF them uatil
perhaps brought up before a court for
their violation. While it is true that
every one is presumed to know the law,
and ignorance of the law excuses no one,
1t is equally true that comparatively few
do know it and great many learn it
from bitter and expensive experience.
Nearly everybody W ould have the laws
If published in the newspapers while very
few have them as published in the expen-
sive law style In which they are new
printed. The expense of newspaper pub
cation would amount to but few cents
to each taxpayer ana the advantage would
be of int stimable value to the people gen.
orally. The Alert hopes the next legisls-
turc will adopt such plan of informing
the masses of the people what laws they
made.

In reading the evidence in the Emma
Bond case. one is impressed with the de-
pravity of man and the depth to which
he will descend when unbrldled license
pls given to his animal nature. Heartless
as demons and pitless as barbarians, these
men, transformed into devils incarnatc,
blasted the hopes and life OF beautiful
young woman, regardless Of her entreat-
les for their mercy, and pleadings for her
virtue, which she held so sacred that in
her anguish of soul and despair, she
prayed them to take her lie and spare
her chastity. After such mostrous
crime and infamous deed it is not sur
prising that they turned deadly pale
aud trembled when brought face to face
with their victim IN court. The thou
sand deaths she had suffered, beside the
mental agony she had endured on ac-
count Of their crime, must rise like de-
mon spectres and confront them wherever
they turn and lnflict upon them the tor
lures of the damned, from which there
is no escape.

If there is a more lncorrlglbIe blather
sklte IN all the domain of the national
government than Finnerty, member of
congress from Chicago, he has never had
chance to l,ninortaliZe himself by max
ing an exhibition of it. He imaglnes
that because his blatant wind on the
O'Donnell case has not frightened the
English government into setting the prls-
oner at liberty the whole American nation
has been snubbed and lnsulted. The
more such friends as Finnerty that
O'Donnell has the surer he is to be hung.
The correspondence that has been carried
on by the state department with the Brit
lsh government is on plane above the
comprehension of such men as Flnnerty,
and will be satisfactory to the goYernt
ment. Minister Lowell virtually admls-
that there IS no sufficient ground for the
request made upon the English govern
ment. and as Cox said in his presentation
of the case to the president, we would not
allow the English government to inter.
fore with our judiciary. illinois has nine

THE people of Minnesota seem to be
going wild over presidential boom for
Senator Sabin of that state, and if they

head of the most extensive manufacturing
establishment IN the state, employing
over two thousand men besides the con-
vict labor of the penitentiary at STILL

and the people wherever he is known
throughout the state but he is altogether
too young in the politics of the nation
and too little known in other parts of the
country to be seriously thought Of as q
presidential candidate. lie is just com
mencing a six years term in the Unlte.l
States senate and he should be allowed
the schooling of the full term IN which to
develop in craftsmanship before being
killed off as presidential candidate. The
pride Of Minnesota in her favored con IS
neither an unnatural or an unworthy
one, but the extent to which 1t is being
carried is ridiculous.

TIE decision by the national republican
committee in favor Of Chicago as the
place Of holding the next national con.
vention is looked upon by many as favor
able to the nomination Of John A. Logan,
the Pioneer Press among the number.
1t is difficult to discover upon what
grounds such significance is attached 10
the circumstance. Even if it does indi
cate IN any degree the sentiment of the
committee it cannot forecast in the least
the sentiment of the delegates to the con-
vention who will not be chosen by the
people for several months yet The
nomination of the successful candidates
for the pas: forty years is as follows:
Polk Of Tennessee was nominated at
Baltimore in lS44; Taylor of Louisiana at
Philadelphia in lS4s; Pierce Of New
Hampshire at Baltimore in 1852; Buch-
anan of Pennsylvania at Cincinnati in
1856; Lincoln of Illinois at Chicago in
1860, and at Baltimore in 1864; Grant of
the United States army at Chicago in
1868, and at Philadelphia in 1872; Hayes
of Ohio at Cincinnati in 1876, and Gar
field Of Ohio at Chicago in 1850.

her body was sent to the home of her

Washington, after which he was appoint,

wife accom- panied him on the voyage to

was an unfaithful wife out of which grew
cruelty toward her and finally divorce.

ject of the timber culture law is to IN
duce and enforce the planting and culti-
vation of trees. If this object is not at
tanned it is from the neglect of the
parties who take such claims and If they
fail to comply with the law it is true
they should not be permitted to hold
such claims against the pre-emptor OF
homesteader, and if this is the effect of
the law it ought to be repealed, as the
Tribune maintains. Col. Lounsbery has
been IN the territory long enough to be
thoroughly qualified TO judge of the re.
spective merits of this law and the AL ert
is disposed to defer to his judgment in
this matter. If these laws are in the
way of the improvement and develop
ment of the territory let them be abol-
ished.

sofa, to reduce the communication price of
government lands within the railroad

justice to the settler. The giving of one
half the land for a scope Of eighty miles

not have been wise, but the policy of re.
quiring the settler to pay double price for
the other half to make up for it is doubt
full justice as we'll as questionable policy,

The execution of O'Donnell will prob.
ably call into republication the memers.
BILE speech of Robert Emmett, the Irish
patriot. who was condemned to death and
executed IN 1903 as member Of the 50
cicty called "Uniled lrishmen." Emmett
was young lawyer Of brilliant promise
and at the time Of his death wss engaged
to bc married to the daughter OF Currau,
the illustrlous advocate and member Of
parliament, and soon after Emmsera
death his betrothed died Of broken heass.
When Emmett was asked BY the court il
he had anything to say why sentence OF
death should not be passed upon him he
made speech which for forensic power
ana lmpsssioned eloquen ce has perhsps
no equal in the English or any other hn-

The WEEKLY ALERT.
j. q. WARNQCK, EDITOR.

Ir IS perhaps more matter Of taste
than otherwise for paper to remind Its
readers and exchanges that 1t was the
first to suggest matter in the way of an
improvement or reform which takes well
with the people, as the Fargo papers are
of the suggestion of additional judges in
Judge Hudson's district, and their con-
tention over the honor makes it proper
for us to remind them that the Alert was
the first to offer the suggestion, which
was done the morning OF the close of the
September term of the district court at
Jamestown. This is all we care to say
about the matter now.

THERE is considerable opposition man
tested IN the executive committee which
commenced Its session in Washington
City the 18th inst, to Senator Frye's plan
of re-apportlonlng the delegates to the
national republican convention, and it
will probably be referred to the national
convention to be held in Chicago June
3rd, 1884. The plan is so emin emily fair
and just that we did not anticipate any
opposition TO it except from the south
where the representation would be cut
down by it, 1t seems, however, that
Logan opposes it, but gives as his reason
that the committee has not the right or
authority to make the change. The old
plan is pandering to the vote of the
southern states in the nominating con-
vention from which there is no chance OF
obtaining any electoral votes in the
election. 1t IS true that by the old plan
the south is in the minority but it is an
influential minority and by swinging IN
as the "balance of power" may nominate
a candidate against the wishes of large
majority of the northern states who
must elect the candidate without the aid
of single electoral vote from the section
that thus decided the nomination. This
unfairness has existed too long altogether,
and if not remedicd before, the delegates
to the national convention should be in.
structed to insist upon its reform at the
general convention.

The question of dividing Dakota IS

The question of dividing Dakota IS a
political question, and all facts pertaining
to 1t will ue considered from a political
standpoint. Its division would lay the
foundation for two republican states;
both of which would at once demand ad.
mission. Both of which, when admitted,
would be entitled to two senators aud one
representative, adding four to the repub-
lican strength IN the senate, two to the
republican strength in the house, and six
to the republican strength in the electoral
college, Why should we presume that
the democrats will consent to this
or ignore the fact that they have the
power and disposition to prevent ltl-
Bismarck Tribune.
To assume that members Of congress
have no higher conception of the exalted
positions they occupy and duties devolv-
ing them than to use and abuse them fol-
partisan purposes and to secure partisan
ends is to assume that they are an aggre-
