Governor Pierce, in an address to the
militia at Aberdeen. declared that there
was no extravaganza in the management
of the Fargo encampment last year.
The charge of extravaganza comes out
of the fact that the militia appropriation
for two years was used up IN. one year.
This the governor cannot deny, because
he has officially announced it. An indi-
vidual who expenis double his income
may very properly be charged with ex-
trayagance and there is no reason why
the same rule should not apply to a
governmental organization. The chief
complaint against the governor is that
having exhausted two years appropria-
tIon in one year he incurs territorial
| Indebtedness in behalf of an encamp-
| ment which could have been omitted for
this year without any injury to the
| public service. 1t is said he has dis
covered clause in the statutes which
permits him to draw money from the
general fund in the treasury with which
to M aet the extraordinary expenses OF
the military department. III this be true
The finds his opportunity to squander
public funds in q strained construction
of law, and such a construction in
| behalf of gubernatorial extravaganza is
not commendable. The intent of the
Legislature, which is the guide in most
courts, was clearly expressed in its
militia appropriation bill, wherein was
set apart q certain sum for the mainte-
nance OF territorial militia organization
This having been exhausted, an execu-
tive officer who depended upon the
votes of the people for his position
would have counselfed and exercised the
stfictest economy during the balance Of
the period covered by the appropriation
He would not hunt the statutes for {
loop hole leading into the treasury
through which to thrust his Official
hand. The tax payers of Dakota are
poor this year. very poor. In this con
dition they do not feel that they should
be compelled to foot the extravagan
bills of an imported governor who ha
no pecuniary interest in the territory b,
governs. Governor Pierce cannot con
vince the public that his order for
militia encampment this year was any
! thing less than q most culpable exer
, else Of authority.

EALSE ECONOMY.
Carelessness Displayed in Preparing Farm
Produce for Market.

Carelessness Displayed in Preparing Farm
Produce for Market.
In preparing produce for market, nc
greater mistake is made than by using
packages composed of material too poor
for the purpose intended or put to-
gether in manner which will not
stand the test to which it is bound to
be subjected. This is done as a matter
OF economy, but instead of eflecting
saving, it usually results in waste,
loss and general dissatisfaction. a
forcible illustration of this is being now
presented by some of the honey cases
coming forward to this market from
apiaries. The cans of the regular five.
gallon size are, in the case referred to
made of such light tin that they weigh
scant two pounds and half, wherea;
they should never weigh less than three
pounds. In order to save freight, these
cans and cases are shipped from this
city to the apiaries in pieces packed in
'shooks," and there put together,
which would be well enough if the right
material was obtained and then prop.
erlv Joined. Not only is the tin toe
light, but the soldering is so badly done
that some cans will not bear removal
from their wooden compartment with
out the top or bottom breaking away. II
broken, more or less waste of contents
is inevitable, and new receptacle must
be provided. Thus the original can
proves an entire loss, to say nothing oi
the honey which is wasted and the extra
labor and annoyance. Where these cans

weak and imperfect condition is almost
sure to be developed later on. Packages
which are not thorough proof against
breakage in one ordinary handling are
surely not apt to stand being shipped
thousands of miles and transferred sew
eral times, as is necessary with most OF
the honey produced in this State. The
most secure cans and cases will prove
cheapest to the producer, as the honey
thus packed will command more than
the difference in cost over an inferior
receptacle. Merchants in the interior
having occasion to handle honey from
first hands will do well to insist on
the cases being sufficiently stout to in
sure their remaining in merchantablG
condition, with ordinary care exercised
in handling. There is no produce, ex-
cept such as must be removed from the
original package within day or two,
which will justify economy in casing,
boxing or sacking, to the extent of em'
ploying what is not apt to stand Gus
tomary usage. The buyer, in nine
cases out of ten, will pay less for suct
packages than the saving attempted by
the producer amounts to.-Grocer Gto
