A committee appointed by the editorial
association at Aberdeen reported in favor
of incorporating the association under the
laws of Dakota, and requiring all men,
bers to charge full legal rates for all legal
notices. AS every other kind of industry
and labor is banding its members together
for protection and for maintenance of
fair living wages, it IS not improbable
that publishers of newspapers will un.
dertake something of the same kind.
Where officials in the mlsconcerned ia-
terest of economy of the peoples money
consider bids from irresponsible sheets
that represent nothing but their impe-
cunous proprietor, the papers that are in
legitimate business, supporting men and
families, advertising the country abroad,
building up and encouraging industries
at home, have no chance for the lawful
and just remuneration which their enter
prise aud labor are entitled to receive.
The legal rates in Dakota are not exor-
bitsnt, and when they are cut down to a
miserable compensation, the paper that
takes it gains nothing, but generally ends
in disaster to itself and others besides.
In the end the taxpayer is benefited but
IN tr,fllng degree, if at all, and the le-
gitimate newspaper enterprises of the
community suffer the only loss.

1T seems necessary for The Alert to
first announce the appointment of dem.
ocrats to places of public trust in this
city, as the party organ having frozen
out every other candidate but its own,
never learns of democratic appointment
until everybody else knows all about it.
The Alert therefore again takes pleasure
in informing the public that Capt. S. X.
McGlunis has been appointed by Cover
nor Pierce to fill the vacant place on the
board of asylum commissioners. The
Captain has accepted and will make an
excellent member Of the board. When
Governor Pierce does put Cleveland

was unexpected, and came while he was

THE supply OF wild hay this season il

THE supply Of wild hay this season is
scarcer, 1t seems, than for number of
years. The continual cutting of meadows
before the grasses have ripened and seed
ed again, has affected the growth quite
materially and farmers have to 60 farther
and pay more for this valuable commodi-
ty each year. The problem of raising
hey will sooner or later have to be solved
by growing It especially for the needs of
stock on the farm. l.. r. casey, of Car
rlngton, Is experimenting this year with
Alfalfa, the celebrated grass Of Callfor-
mia, that it is said to produce four crops
year. The roots extend several feet in
the ground and arc very hardy. The
grass is grown successfully at Dickinson,
Oak. The result of Mr.. Casey's trial will
be watched with interest.

The Valley City Times declares that
Gov. Pierce IS the only man North and
South Dakota can agree upon for con.
gressional honors. 1t says of the other
prominently named North Dakota can
didstes:
"Gen. Allen, Major Edwards, George
Il. w slsh, johnson Nlckeus and others
have been named. But it Is plain all
these gentlemen have been named for q
purpose, and there is q desire to cover up
the real candidate, whom North Dakota
will finally present and determine on.
The gentlemen named possess abilities
calculated to fit them for delegate IN
congress from great territory like Da-
kota. Mr.. Nlckeus possesses abilities
possessed by none of the others yet pro-
minently named, and would make the
best representative the territory could
honor. But johnson Nickeus will not
accept an Office whose powers are
abridged or curtailed to the extent OF q
territorial delegate in congress. He is
too good man to cripple thus early by
loading him down with the empty honors
Of delegateship."

THE Randall tariff bill lately introduced
in the senate shows one idea of demo-
cratic tariff reform. This bill propo.
ses to relieve the tariff on two ar
ticles, raw lumber and jute, which would
be beneficial to southern planters, but
nothing is said of hemp or other textile
fabrics used by farmers for binding twlne.
Next it proposes tariff on blooded live
stock imported for breeding purposes,
which according to the last tariff revision
is admitted duty free. The value of such
animals imported in 1885 was $3,363, 900.
This importation has helped the stock
interests incalculably, and was directly
an outgrowth of long voiced demand
by stockgrowers and farmers for better
grades. The bill also proposes to tax
clothing, to raise the duty on tinware
from one to two and fourth cents per
pound, and to impose tariff on other
articles most commonly used by the peo-
pie. But the democratic senator plopo.
ses to earn the the eternal gratitude of
his country by entirely abolishing the
taxes on tobacco, wines and fruit BRAN
dies. This internal revenue, which Is the
the least felt by the people, and which IS
not in the least obligatory upon any one,
is source Of revenue to the country of ut
least thirty millions year. 1t is not in
in the least likely that this bill will pass
the first committee, yet it shows the &C
cumulating strength of the tobacco rails
ing, moon. shining element of the party.
The most noticeable part of the bill is its
strange sileSce as to lifting the tax on the
sacred beverage of corn whisky.
