RECENT Investigations show the danger
GUS laxity Of our immigration laws. It is
demonstrated that the authorities in for
eign countries are continually shipping
paupers, idiots, criminals and incurables
and although the United States consuls
are positive of the fact they are powerless
in the matter because the investigation
as to the fitness of the subject emigrating
to the United States under the present
law must be made at the port of entry.
Senator Palmer's bill for regulating inn
migration provides for the exclusion Of
dependent and dangerous classes through
an investigation in their own country at
their ports of shipment instead at our
ports of entry. This would obviate the
objections to the present law, which has
been easily evaded. Americas arms are
outstretched to receive the oppressed and
worthy Of all nations, but we should not

WHILE Commissioner of Immigration
McClure's new book Resources of Da-
kota" is an excellent publication, ex-
haustive, comprehensive and convincing
there is one serious obstacle to it's gen.
eral circulation in localities where it will
do the most good-its size. It costs 12
cents to mail it besides or 2 cents for
the envelope. If the territory pays the
expense of mailing the 10000 copies
printed, it will take not less than $4,000
out of the treasury for that purpose.
This is an item that probably Mr.. Nc
Clure did not think of before the book
was published. A pamphlet with the
main features of this work concisely
given which could be mailed for 2 or 8
cents, would have the advantage of
greater distribution in the east, where it
would do the most good for Dakota.

The loss of life resulting from the severe
snow storms in the northwest during the
present winter calls for serious cOnsidera-
tiOn of the best means of avoiding these
dangers in the future.
The blizzard gives little warning of its

Overtaking people who may be travelling in
any portion of the country, surrounding
them with binding, furious snow, and
causing them to be lost before they can
reach any haven of safety. These storms,
prevailing in region where there is a
scarcity of trees, no fences and few habita-
tiOns, make the venture far away from
home very hazardous under present con-
diti0ns.
It is clearly evident that some general
method must be devised whereby people
shall not lose themselves in the storms. If
the farms were generally fenced, there
would be little danger; but as guard against
being lost in snow storms 1t is not probable
that people will build fences. The next
best thing as protection will be the set
ting Oftrees by the r0adsides, which, in
darkness and storm, would guide people to

The snow blockade in Dakota is lifted.
The first train through to Pierre arrived
there esterday.-ChicagO Times.
"Snow blockade in Dakota lifted" is
good. The casual outside reader would
infer from the above that Dakota had but
one railroad and that that had been
blockaded for long time. Why, bless
your soul, Mr.. Times, it is only spur
of Dakota's 1900 miles of railroad that
runs out to Pierre The railroads in Da-
kota are not blockaded. The Times must
have got Maine, New Hampshire and
New York confounded with Dakota. By
the way, Mr.. Times, do you know that
Dakota has more miles of completed
railroad than any other state or territory
except Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota and Wis
consin? Just think of it--Dakota ranks
as the thirteenth in the pyramid of forty
seven states and territories.

that the lie is given on the face and none
but the faint hearted, for whom Dakota
has no use, will be influenced thereby.
The Chicago Times in leading edito-
rial gets back with force at the eastern
slanderers and especially the New Or
leans Picayune, which just at this time
discovers that the tide of immigration
ought to set in toward the south. It says:
The late blizzard, fearful as it was, will
have no permanently damaging effect on
our northern territories, nor will it retard
settlement and immigration to any cOnsid-
erable extent. There is too much gold,
silver and copper in Montana and Idaho
and the wheat fields Of North Dakota are
lected. The great tide of immigration
will flow on, no more affected by the re-
cent storm than is the oceans tide by the
gales that sweep over it.
Louisiana Is q grand state of great and
undevelObed resources. Immigration of
would be better for the whole country as
we'll as her if the tide of immigration
would set that way, but it must be remeln-
bered that every section has its draw
backs. The great spring and summer
floods of the Ohio and Mississippi occur
with more regularity than Dakota bliz-
struction of life and property. They seem
to increased in devastating power as the
country along the shores becomes settled.

all its frightful train of evils is always

zard's home, for. IL as is that wind, it blows

A WASHINGTON special says that be-
tween the rivalries of different interests,
the jealousies of politicians who are look
ing presidentward, and profuse misrep-
resentations, it is nearly settled in the
judgment of most men who talk on the
subject in Washington that Dakota can
not become member of our grand sys-
tenn of statehood this session. This is
the annual conclusion arrived at by con-
gress and will cause no particular sur
prise among the people most interested.

IN DEFENSE OF DAKOTA

IN DEFENSE OF DAKOTA.
The reports of the recent storm in the
west and northwest sent to eastern papers,
or rather the reports written up in the
offices of eastern papers and published as
if they we're bona fide dispatches are so
amazingly exaggerated that they fail to
exert the desired effect and most readers
look upon them as cock and bull stories
published for purpose. For years Da-
kota has been attracting the attention of
the live and energetic people of the
crowded east, and some communities in
old New England trace their present
sleepy condition directly to III, fact that
the live, ambitious portion has emigrated
to Dakota. In one eastern town in a
single week last season one-fourth of the
entire deposits of the banks was drawn
out by people now comfortably settled in
Dakota. Is it any wonder that the news
papers published in these communities
cry out against the northwest? To fur
ther sound the praises of Dakota would
tend to still further depopulate these
strike-cursed, monopoly-ridden regions.
The eastern newspapers eagerly grasp
any opportunity that is offered to check
the tide of immigration to Dakota, but it
will continue to come just the same. A
cold wave, with binding snow with few
thoughtless people caught out in it and
frozen to death will no more check the
srream Of settlers to the land Of peace
and plenty than does the death Of thou
sands from malaria and yellow fever in
the south prevent the annual visits of
thousands of northern tourists. The lies
told about Dakota by the eastern press
during the past month are such whoppers

WHILE the roads in Central and South
ern Dakota have been blockaded much
of the time this winter, the Northern
Pacific continues to run it's daily trains
almost uninterruptedly. Recently passen-
gers from Huron and other southern
points, being unable to get out any other
way, have come up via the Northwestern
and Northern Pacific to Jamestown and
proceeded eastward over the main line of
the Northern Pacific.

warrants, process, commitments or writs
whatsoever, issued by the city justice for
any violation of the laws of the territory
or ordinances Of the city; also all writs
and process whatsoever issued by the city
justice in civil actions. In many respects
the city police would have as much
power as the sheriff instance in the
serving OF writs of attachment-and in
stead of being under good and sufficient
bonds prescribed by statute, his bonds
are prescribed by the city council.
So far as the influence of the new law
in the direction of good government is
concerned, could not the city council
working under the present charter, adopt
all the good features of the new law in
the shape of ordinances?
Bismarck has very good charter now.
It is provided with plenty of safeguards
and it is only necessary for the council to
live up to its requirements to insure good
government.
Under our present charter the check
upon the city treasurer is much greater
than under the new law. The former
makes it his duty to make monthly state
ments to the city council, and oftener if
required, showing the state of the
treasury at the date of such account, and
the balance of money in the treasury,
while the new law requires statement
to be rendered only at such times as the
council shall provide.
The TRIBUNE cannot, in one article,
give complete synopsis of the two
charters, and that the people may gain
information sufficient to guide them in
the forming of wise conclusion as to
the advisability of adopting the new in
corporation act, this matter will be dis
cussed in subsequent articles and con-
tributions, pro and con, from those hav-
ing given this subject some thought, are
requested for publication.

The time for the publishing Of annus

The time for the publishing of annual
insurance statements is approaching.
While the law compelling insurance
companies to publish such lengthy state
ments as the Dakota law requires, is
grand humbug, yet there is something in
the present condition of affairs that
pleases the legitimate newspaper pub
Usher. Last year the publishers of
country weeklies were kicking because
they did not have backbone enough to
refuse the taking of these annual state
ments at any price offered-often receiv-
ing as low as $3.50, when the wear on the
type would amount to about that sum.
Now the country editor smiles with
satisfaction while the insurance COM
panies kick. They have just learned that
the law fixing legal rates for advertising
passed at the last session also covers an
nual insurance statements, and will force
them to pay gaeat deal more for adver-
tising this year than last. Through the
Chicago Tribune the managers of the
western department of insurance COM
panies make vigorous kick against
the law in question. It is alluded
to as Gigantic fraud and swindle,' and
the assertion is made that the law was
enacted purposely to hit the insurance
companies. This is untrue. The print
er's law was introduced early in the ses-
sion and the insurance statements were
not thought of any more than any other
species OF legal printing. It is the in
surance law that these insurance men
ought to criticise. It ought to be
amended and the insurance companies
will find all legitimate publishers with
them on this proposition. The Grand
Forks Plaindealer in speaking of this
matter says:
Not satisfied in days gone by with asking
the Dakota publisher to publish their state
ments for reasonable compensation, many
OF them wanted it done for less than the
type could be set for and always succeeded
in locating some publisher within the judic-
nothing and would use his price as club
to make the other publishers accept the
beggarly rates. A year ago the newspaper
publishers were squealing, now it is the
insurance companies. They threaten to
pull out of the territory, but in view of
will perhaps think second time before
doing so, but even if they should we have
home companies enough to carry our risks.
The law was not sneaked through, as they
| intimate, at the last days of the session. It
was brought before the legislature the
second week after it assembled and was
commented upon at length by the news
papers of the territory. They blame Audi
tor Ward for not notifying them of the law
legal adviser, we know of no reason why
he should have voluntarily sought them out
and read to them the laws of the territory
Like all other persons and corporations do
ing business in the territory, it is their
own duty and privilege to advise them
selves of all laws under which they are
doing business.
