The Motive in the Political Deal Con-
summated at Pierre.
Big Stone Herald.
Why Bismarck, Mckenzie ct. oil. or the
capital crowd should desire to curry
favor with south Dakota, Pettigrew or
anything to beat Raymond, is question
of considerable interest in Dakota poll
tics Just now. A short history of the
capital deal might throw some light on
the subject.
When Bismarck secured the location
of the capital at that point, according to
the terms of the capital commission bill,
it had to guarantee 100000 and halt
section of land for site. The former,
and what was to be made from the sale
Of extra lots of the latter, we're to build
the new capitol free OF expense to the
territory.
The 100000 was guaranteed to the
commission by the notes or certified
checks of leading men in Bismarck.
The contract for the building was
let and work commenced. 70 redeem
themselves these capitalists succeeded
in bonding Burleigh county for the
smoupt of money. The bonds were
prepared but before they were issued an
injunction was procured from Judge
Hudson and the bonds deposited in the
bank as security for the check.
As the building progressed, de6clen-
cies were met by the sale of lots and
more notes of the capital boomers. The
outcome of this game of finance was the
institution of the Capital Bank of Bis.
marck in which is collected the bonds
and other paper of the capital deal as the
backing of the institution while on the
face, borrowing, loaning and general
banking business is continued. Unless
the capital boomers get the territory
to assume the debt incurred they will be
heavy losers. Should they succeed in
placing the burden upon the people the
schemers will reap immense rewards
To secure the latter it is necessary to
gain control Of the coming legislature
John B. Raymond, and the portion Of
north Dakota favorable to him, are op
posed to the Bismarck schemers, SO the
latter must needs find help somewhere
Mr.. Pettigrew shares their common
hatred of John B. Raymond, and in

The Red6eld Journal is another paper
which favors the proposed constitutional
convention measure. The Journal says:
The Journal. as early as last winter,
advocated the passage, by the next leg.
islature, of bill providing another con.
stltutlopsl convention. There is no
question that Gov. Pierce would sign
such measure. It seems to be the ex-
pressed wish of all sections of the terri
tory that division on the 46th parallel be
effected as soon as possible and the
southern portion, or both portions, be
admitted into the union as states. A
constitution prepared by authority OF
the legislature and adopted by major.
ity vote at legal election would have
some weight before congress. Let's have
the constitutional convention.

1t is quite probable that in the next
legislature the granger element will
predominant. Driven almost to des-
peration by rings and monopolies it
will not be strange if some extreme
corrective measures are passed. Be-
ing compelled to take control it will
not be strange if they in turn become
somewhat tyranical. If the railroads
and wheat buyers get pinched little,
however, they may console themselves
by thinking that it Is their own fault.
Had these corporate monopolies pro-
ceeded more moderately with their
grasping propensities the now rapidly
approaching storm would have been
very much delayed and when it did
come would be less violent.

A Theatre Trap.

Interview with Manager1
speaking of traps reminds me of a little
incident that happened few years ago in q
little Michigan town. Miss Blanche de Bar

performance of The Hidden Hand When
their. carpenter came to cut the trap in the
stage for Black Dan-or whatever his name
is-to fall into when Capitola presses her foot
on the spring in the floor, he was astonished
to see that he had cut right through into the
store below, which belonged to the owner
of the halll The owner, jolly, good
natured, ready sort of chap, came up,
and, finding that the trap was necessary for
the play, said: sAll right, you go ahead and
cut it. I'll fix it up some way so that it will
be all right for tonight He and the carpen-
ter did fix it up, in some way best known to
themselves, while the rest of the COM
pany went away until time for per-
formance In the evening the carpenter
told them: Look out for those boards over
the trap under the carpet, and don't kick
them away, or you'll leave the trap open.
When the time comes I'll take 'em
away, aud all Black Dan will have
to do will be- to step forward on the
space, and the carpet will give way with
him. Asshe said, so it was done. When
Capitola put her foot on the imaginary
spring, and Black Dan took step toward
her threateningly he dropped out of sight
quicker than a fash. There was moments
silence, and then up from that trap came

The printing and retailing of en-

son why stationery should be supplied

dinghy low rate. In many localities

In view of the liability of steam
ships to collision with icebergs in
crossing the Atlantic, Mr.. r. A. Proc
tor suggests the use of the sensitive
heat-measurers of Edison Oh, Langley
for giving warning of the proximity
OF ice in the night or in fogs, One of
these instruments placed in the bow
of a vessel would Indicate change in
the temperature with the iceberg n
quarter of q mile or more away, and
might be made to attract attention to
the presence of invisible danger by
causing a fog-horn to be sounded or
otherwise as may be necessary. The
keen perception of science. Mr.. Proc
tor thinks, may thus be put on guard
over our safety when our natural
senses fail.
In discussions concerning the hab-
liability of other planets than ours it
is usually assumed that all other be-
ings having bodies must be clothed in
flesh and bones similar to those of ter
restrial animals, and must be adapted
to live under similar conditions. Such
an assumption is not justified. and
Prof, Alexander Winchell remarks
that it is not at all improbable that
substances of Il refractory nature may
enter into the composition of ogan-
iSmS unknown to us SO as to render
them capable of enduring vastly great
Ell viscissitudes of heat and cold than
is possible with earth's inhabitants.
This well-known geologist also finds it
conceivable that sentient creatures

lost in the abysses of the ocean. OF

The Democrats are squarely on the
fence. By advocating free trade or
even agitating the traffic question they
are sure to lose Ohio, New York and
New Jersey. By advocating protec-
ton they have nothing with which to
commend themselves to the north
western states. Either means defeat,
So the leaders have made up their
minds to do nothing. In the west
they will talk free trade and reduction
of taxes or anything else that will
help them to gain the votes of the
prejudiced or ignorant. In the East
they will talk something else but
everywhere they will be extremely
careful not to accomplish anything.

Saux Center Tribune: If the farm
er will assert his right honestly, fear
lessly, and hold to his decision finally
he may with perfect faith in the final
result, commence aggressive work.
But if he falters, and the matter drops
it only binds the present chains tigh-
ter. President Hill, with character
istic foresight, has listened to the case
and promises a proper action for re-
lief but this is only one railroad, and
makes gain of but one of the great
corporations to the interests of the
producer. The great desideration
must come in the shape of law or laws
enacted by the state legislature and
approved by the governor. So it is
seen that the final result must be de-
cided at the ballot box.

The Democrats believe in the re-
duction of taxes. Just now their
leaders are working the little scheme
to extend the whisky bond bill.
Should they succeed and then sue
coed later in removing the tax on
whiskey it will relieve the govern
ment of 800 600 600 and give it to the
distillers-not the consumers. This
is revenue reduction certainly but not
of the kind the public are clamoring
