MORE QUESTIONS.
Interrogatorles Which We Cannot
Answer.

Editor Inter- Ocean: Politics are now
the general topic Of conversation with
nearly every one in this part Of Ramsey
county. and as u natural effect, caused by
the arguments in respect to the county
treasurer, the greater part Of the public
talk is about that business. In your is.
sue Of last week asked some questions
which in Justice was due the county
treasurer and which have been ans
wered by the lNrER-OcEAN, but to the
people Of Ramsey county leave the
judgment My only duty was to ask the
questions. shall now ask five more
questions appertalning to that subject
which may appear impertinent, but it
will depend upon the answers given
whether the rate-paycrs of Ramsey
county think SO or not. The INTER
OCEAN, Mr.. Maher or anybody else that
is in a position to answer them can do
so through the columns of the INTER
OCEAN. The rate-payers and voters OF
Ramsey county await the answer:
l. Does the amount of money Mr..
Maher exhibited to the county board in
July, 1886, now stand to the credit OF
the county in actual cash?
.. Was that money the bona fide
property of the county?
3. Has any part Of the county funds
ever been used for any purpose since
Mr.. Mahcr became treasurer Of Ramsey
county otherwise than for the legitimate
and legal expenses Of the county?
4. Has any interest been paid by any
one for the use Of county moneys and if
so to whom was that interest paid?
5. Why did not Mr.. Maher claim
$3339.jO as commission on bonds when
he made his January report and what
were his reasons for increasing his claim
from Sl45 in January to $339. so in July

Railroad and ToWnsltc Taxes.

Tile case of Ramsey county vs.. the ST.
Paul, MINNEAPOLIS & Manitoba railway
came up before Judge Mcdonnell at
Fargo Saturday evening last on adcinur-
rcr, and the judge held that the act of
lSS:' taxing the gross earnings of rail-
ways in lieu OF all other taxes simply
applies to property held for railroad pur-
poses, and that townsitc property and all
other real estate held for purposes OF
speculation is taxable. The ease will be
taken to the supreme court. icamount
of the taxes is about $O5OO County At
torney Morgan gave an opinion over {;
year ago to the effect that these taxes
were cOllcctablc. The ease is important
| for the reason that the attorneys of Other
| counties have given Il contrary opinion
and the case will be watched with con.
siderable interest.

Work To Do.
jamestown Capital.

There will be plenty Of work for the
territorial legislature to do next winter.
There need be no fear that the congree-
sional act prohibiting special legislation
will leave nothing to do. 1t will not
leave much room for jobbery and town
site schemes, but for legitimate and
general legislation to correct the evils Of
the past there is large and fertile field
This legislature will need wise heads and
industrious hands more than any that
has preceded it. The foundation for q
great and grand state may be laid in the
session OF this winter, and there is an
opportunity for men Of patriotic i'm
pulses and comprehensive minds to
make records Of which they and their
children will be proud. There are per-
haps some, but fortunately they are
few, Of the past legislators whose names
are not connected with legislation that
will rise up like Banquos ghost, to
IlduIlI dllu IIOuUlc LlCIIl III ttlC luIuI0
when they may aspire to positions Of
honor and trust. There is everything
in the opportunities Of the coming leg
islature to stimulate its members TO
honest purpose and wise action, for the
man who does his duty wisely and we'll
may look forward to the time not far
distant when Dakota as state will want
representatives in both branches of
congress. But the people must not
neglect their duty in securing an honest
and wise legislature. Professional poll
ticians will push themselves forward as
formerly, and by trickery and chicanerv
strive to obtain legislative positions
which they are unworthy and incompe-
tent to fill. They will try to convince
the people that only the political wire
pullers can secure legislation for them.
Honesty and good sound sense are tho
best qualifications legislator can have,
and such men can be trusted to take
care Of the interests of the people. The
people should search out and select such
men, and if they do this the Dakota leg.
islaturc OF next winter will make q re-
cord Of which the people will be proud
many years hence.

EARTHQUAKES IN HISTORY
Thousands Of People Who Have
Perlshed.

The southern countries of Europe,
South America and the volcanic islands
in the Pacific have suffered most exten.
sivcly from earthquakes. In southern
Italy in 1913 no less than 947 shocks
were chronicled. The great earthquake
of 1888 in Ca!abria caused the death OF
100000 persons, md destroyed the city
OF Messina, Sicily. Among the earliest
OF recorded earthquakes is that A. d.
63, which destroyed Herculaneum and
Pompcii.
The most memorable shock in history
destroyed Lisbon, IN Portugal, on Nov.
l, 1854. Over 10000 persons perished
in space Of six minutes. A great sea
wave, fifty feet high. swept over the city
and parts Of it were permanently en-
quilted and are now covered with 600
feet Of water. Four times the extent Of
Europe was shaken by this immense
earth wave. Towns in Northern Africa
were destroyed and damage was done in
Iceland.
Antioch is a city particularly unfortu.
nate. 1t suffered in a. D. lis, 458, 526,
and in the latter year 25O.OOO persons
were killed.
In the United States in 1911 occurred
the famous New Madrid earthquake IN
Missouri. For 300 miles the ground rose
and sank in waves, and lakes were
formed and drained. The disturbance
lasted for several months. On Noy. l8,
1855, the middle and eastern states
were severely shaken. Chimneys and
buildings were thrown dow n in Boston.
The city of Conception in South Amer.
lea, has been four times destroyed, the
last time in 1885. There were 400
shocks felt within two weeks, and the
sea wave was thirty feet high. In the
Argentine republic Mendoza was oyer.
turned in 1862. The shock was very
severe and continued three days. Over
$4,000 people perished.
San Francisco suffered great damage
in the great earthquake Of October, 1868.
Caracas, Venezuela, was destroyed in
| 1872, San Salvador in 1878.
Between 1000 and 5000 people were
killed on the beautiful island of Ischia
in 1888, and Il month later occurred ut
Java II terrific and disastrous convul.
sion. Red hot stones and ashes from
volcanoes covered the fields OF coffee,
rice and sugar, and destroyed nearly
600 lives.
| Piles are frequently preceded by .
sense of weight In tho back, loins and
