MAJOR MAG1NN1s, the popular ex-del-
egate from Montana, has got 'em bad.
In recent democratic rally at Marysvllle,
a prosperous Montana mining camp, in
honor of w. A. Clark, the democratic
nominee for delegate, Major Maginnis
referred to Clark as the "Gambetta of
Montana" Referring to the objection
urged against him that he was on the
ticket with Grover Cleveland, he said that
lit would be an honor for him to be on
the ticket with Grover Cleveland, the
man who had carried the white banner
of reform to success" "White banner of
reform" is good.

ONE of the most interesting magazine
articles that has appeared this year is
that of Adelbert Hamilton in the October
Forum on railway stocks and debts.
The writer says:
Out of 237 representative railway stocks,
164 are below par. OF these, only eighteen
are worth 80 per cent. and upwards, while
fOrty-nine range in value from so per cent.
to so per cent, some running down to or
q per cent. of their nominal worth. Indeed,
so far from being surprised at railway SOL
vency, it does not, in view of railway his
tory in this country, seem inaccurate to
say, that the dominant American railway
policy is to cumulate Indebtedness to the
uttermost limit without setting bounds to
borrowing, and without providing means
of payment. Added cause for wonderment
is the callous, Indifferent condition of the
public mind in reference to railway in
debtedness. On December 81, 1856, it
amounted to S4,377 100000, a sum nearly
twice as great, as the largest national debt
", we ever owed. Per capita it's over $67.
The interest charge upon it was, at the
capita per annum. The debt is, in this as
pect, national burden, demanding the
earnest attention Of the people and the
sincerest consideration Of the wisest states
men, lest it become burden too great to
be born by the public, and our system of
railways become swamped in the mire of
and reputation. Yet grave
and serious as are the problems connected
with it, the attention Of neither voter, leg
islator nor railway manager has been
turned to them.

CHARLES A. P1LLsB URY, the Minneap-
oils miller, in reply to query from a
Minnesota farmer as to the advisibility
of sowing wheat next spring, gives the
following advice, which, considering the
high authority from which it comes, is of
great value to farmers in North Dakota:
There is every inducement to farmers to
plant every acre OF spring wheat they can.
The world has the shortest crop ever
known and supplies will be absolutely ex-
ha9sted before another crop is fit to use.
and in our opinion we shall see very much
higher prices before another year comes.
We think it will take two or three good big
crops before we get back on to the era Of
low prices we have been having for the
last two or three years, and, of course, it
the next crop Of the world should not be
more than an average one prices would 60
a good deal higher on the next crop than
they have on this. We do not expect to
see as low prices for wheat as we have
been having the last three or four years
for three or four years to come.

ANDREW CARNEGIE has returned from
England and has had the reportorial
pump applied to him on the subject of
trusts. Carnegie is against trusts. He
says no one has so much cause to fear
them as those who go into them, as they
are bound to go under sooner or later
and involve in ruin all who are connected
with them. To use his own words: II
am opposed to trusts for several reasons;
they cannot be made to work, and event
ually injure what they are intended to
benefit. The public may regard trusts
or combinations with entire confidence
that the great law cannot be broken
namely that where there is no monopoly,
but where everyone is free to embark in
business, it is impossible for any body
of men to exact from the people for any
great length of time more than the aver
age return for capital"

THE BATTLE GROUND.

Cleveland's majority over Blaine in In
diana in 1884 was 6,512. In 1880 Gar
fields majority over Hancock was 6,356.
Harrison should certainly do as we'll as
Garfield. In 1884 Cleveland's majority
in New York was 1,O47 and Garfeld's in
1880 21,033. Harrison's ought to be made
as good as Garfeld's. Tammany alone
can do that and the workingmen can
double it. Cleveland's majority in Con-
necticut in 1884 was 1884 and Garfeld's
in 1880, 1855. It will not be much of a
reaction if Harrison does not get Gar
fields majority. In New Jersey Cleve-
lands majority was 4,412 and Garfeld's
was 2,1O3. The attack on Trenton pot
terry by the Mills bill ought to wipe out
that little margin. The maiorities of 1884
don't look encouraging for 100000 new
officers of the Cleveland reign.

A SALT LAKE dispatch says that the esu-
preme court of Utah, after stubbornly
contested suit has declaredthe corporation
of the Mormon church dissolved and or
dered the receiver, who has collected
over S1,0O0,00O in real and personal prop
erty, to hold the property until the gov
ernment informations for the forfeiture
of the same can be brought to conclu-
sion. The decision declares all of the
personal property of the corporation to
have become escheated to the govern
ment. It sets aside the temple block and
buildings for the use of the voluntary re-
lgious sects now in existence. The de-
PENDANTS have taken the case to the SUI
preme court of the United States where
it will be hotly contested.

Ina political debate at Shelbyville,
KY, last week between Hon. Augustus
Wilson, of Louisville, chairman of the
republican state executive committee,
and Hon. John S. Rhea, democratic
elector from Kentucky, Mr.. Rhea vehe-
mantly declared: "There is not drop
of blood in my veins, from the topmost
hair on the crown of my head to the dust
on the bottom of the sole of my shoe, but
is rebel democratic. If the issue was to
come again, by c.. We would do it
over" The Sioux Falls Press says that
while nobody claims that all democrats
are rebels, the above would indicate that
at least an occasional rebel is democrat.

COLBERT once cynically defined taxa
ton as "the art of so plucking the goose
as to secure the largest amount of feath-
ers with the least amount of squealing.'
Arthur I. Hadley in an interesting and
instructive article on "The Railroad in
Its Business Relations" in Scribner's
Magazine for October, says some of our
freight agents have taken Colbert's tax
theories as standard and have applied
them only too literally. It is this short
sighted policy, continues Mr.. Hadley,
which has made the system of charging
"what the traffic will bear" a synonym
for extortion.

The Mitchell Republican says: "In
his recent admirable speech in this city
General Allen made point in favor of
a big republican vote throughout Da-
kota which should constantly be borne
in mind to the end of the campaign,
when he said every vote cast for demo-
cratic candidate was an endorsement of
the attitude of the party toward Dakota,
virtual admission that all it's base SLAM
ders on our people were true. The pol
icy of the national democratic party to-
wards Dakota and the entire northwest
should not be lost sight of in this cam
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1888-10-12

The Chicago Times intended to publish
every Saturday few columns from it's
northwestern correspondents showing the
personal changes in politics." It pub
hshed just one batch two weeks ago.
One was enough, for by it's own showing
25 per cent. more had changed from the
democratic to the republican party than
had changed from the republican to the
democratic party. That is the showing
in nearly every community and yet there
are those who are SO recklessly blind as
to wager money on Cleveland's election.

The New York World, in speaking of
the speakers at grand republican rally
in New York, says clerical looking gen.
tleman named Plummer from Dakota
was introduced and spoke like hurri-
cane and surprised his audience by
shedding tears at his own eloquence.
The Herald, Tribune and other New
York papers also give Dakota's orator
great credit. He is going through the
Empire state like whirlwind, sounding
the praises of Harrison and Morton, pro-
lection for American industries and
statehood for Dakota.

HENRY Willard, in his speech at the
recent banquet rendered to President
Oakes at st. Paul, gave utterance to one
remark that is significant and strikes a
popular chord in Dakota. He said it was
soon intended, on the part of the COM
pany, to begin the practical development
of it's lands along the entire line; that
it's projects would require millions of cap
ital, and, added the great fnancier, II
think I can command that capital"

DOLLAR WHEAT.

1t was the prediction of political
economists a year ago that dollar wheat
in the west, and in Dakota particularly
would never return again. A year has
passed and dollar wheat rules all over
Dakota. A shortage knocks high our
political economy. A sweeping change
Of conditions destroys the theory that
cheap wheat had come to stay. West of
the Missouri river we find in Mandan the
price $1.O3, or $1.0S in trade at the mills.
In Bismarck $1.O2. In Aberdeen S1.15
bid and no sellers. In Ellendale S1.O7.
The widest wheat raiser never expected
such figures. The effect of these prices
on the country next year concerns us
most-interests us most. We think it
will be favorable. Certainly, the price
must be sustained until the surplus, now
wiped out, returns to plague the grower.
That cannot come about in single sea-
son. Therefore the price of 1889 will be
good and fair yield will put all Dakota
onher feet. This expectation ought to at
tract immigration and immigration, seek
ing public lands, will attract buyers of
decided lands. With the prosperity on
account of what the land produces, sup
plemented with the revenue incidental to
the arrival of an army of new people, Da-
kota will be in shape to stand the strain
of four more years of territorial servitude
if November 9Th should so decree-which
is not likely to be.

A PRIVATE letter from ithaca, New
York, represents Governor Pierce as say
ing that an election to-day in that state
would go overwhelmingly for Harrison.
He said he never saw such Hopping from
the democratic party to the republican

been continual surprise to him. Speak

finds as easy as swimming with the cur
rent.

The great political reformers and self
sacrificing patriots who appeared before
an audience of dozen at Sterling Satur-
day night, with an array of charges of
official corruption against various indi-
viduals in Burleigh county, and who
demonstrated-to to their own satisfaction
at least-the necessity of endorsing their
Independent ticket as panacea for all
ills-past, present and flture-did not
entirely satisfy their hearers as to the
legitimate parentage of their ticket. The
truth is this so-called independent ticket
is simply Messrs. Dunn, Thompson and
Healy-with greatest emphasis on Healy
the democrat who wants to hoodwink
republicans and secure their votes. It
will not work. Mr.. Skinner is re-
publican, and like the other re-
publicans on the ticket, is en-
titled to the united support of the re-
publicans in his district. The republicans
of this country have yearned for a
straight ticket for years. They have one
now before them. Each candidate on
that ticket is pledged to stand by it.
There is to be no knitting in this cam
paign if the words of those high in the
estimation Of their fellow citizens can be
relied upon. The TRIBUNE is pleased
with the outlook thus far / and it trusts
that this guerrilla warfare being made
upon the republican nominees by So
called Independents, who owe their nom
ination to no party and to no convention
in which the people had voice, will
have no effect upon loyal republicans in
the district. Beware of campaign hypo-
critics who roam about the country work.

ADELBERT HAMILTON in the October
Forum presents some startling figures
regarding railway stocks and debts and
railroad management, from which he
argues that the people should own the
railroads. His plan favors a reduction
in the denomination Of railway bonds
that the distribution may be more gen
eral. He says:
The denominations and the distribution
of railway bonds deserve criticism. Or
dinarily, the denominations are $500 and
81 900, but $4,000 bonds are not uncOm-
mon, and some are issued for 100000.

$4S a month and compete with the Bra

good share of those wages in pay for
goods.

In 1901, says a writer on railroads,
Benjamin Outram built in the suburbs
OF London short line of horse railroad

roads running into mines, and often into
places where horse cannot go, are
called ''tram-roads."
