BEFORE the tariff was laid upon quick
silver, that very valuable product Of
the Pacific coastsold at $1.5O per pound;
under the protective tariff, according to
Mr.. Cleveland's theory" the price
would be higher. However. the con.
trary is true. Quicksilver Is now Sc ling
at 40 cents. Before the tariff was laid
upon borax, that verv necessary pro:
duct was selling at So cents; under the
protective tariff, according to Mr.. Cleve-
landiss1beory," the price would 60 up.
But Mr.. Cleveland's "theory"i il wrong,
Borax is now ~wholesaling at 6 cents.
What becomes Of MI. Cleveland's
theory that the duty is added to the
price Of an article!

Write. Read.

That is to say, in 1880, nearly s out Of
every hundred of the population of
Dakota could not read, and q fraction
over 8 out Of every hundred could not
write; while in South Carolina, the state

of the opposition to South Dakota's adj
mission, the number who cannot write
is over SIS out Of every hundred. and
the number who cannot read is owe 48

Of the Democracy?

TIE Republican Territorial conven-
ton to select delegates to the Chicago
convention meets at jamestown next
Wednesday. The call provides for two
delegates and two alternates and four
contingents and four alternates. The
four contingents are to be chosen upon
the proposition that each half OF the
territory is entitled to two delegates.
The probability is that six delegates and
six a%lternates will be chosen. For the
first time in her history, Ramsey county
will demand recognition when the al
lotment Of delegates is made.

Gram Supply.

The London Miller predicts that the
English grainaries by the end Of June
bid fair to be practically exhausted of
foreign wheat reserves. The wants of
the United Kingdom for April, May and
June are placed at 100000 bushels.
while it is contended that supplies from
all sources in wheat aud flour cannot
exceed 40,50O.000 bushels, leaving a de-
~fi.iency Of 1O,5O0,00O bushels. The
Miller says "the effect Of. this consider.
alton on the markets should be of q

INSTITUTE.
4 Profitable Week for Our In
afrnetora. ei.

structors. Be-
The most successful teachers institute
ever held in North Dakota has been in
progress in this city this week. Fifty.
teachers were in attendance from var
ious parts of this and adjacent counties.
The list. nearly complete, is as follows:
Misses Taylor, Kenefic, Holmen, South
am, Boothroyd. Lewis, Bowes, Hunt,
Beeton, Berry. Brennan, Powers, Rob-
erts. Averill. Welshans, Messer,, Hiok-,
ey, Nye. Isaacs, Pattie, Olsen, Shultz,

Mooers, Psndergast. Tyler, Mitchell,
Grant, Crazy, Gambold and Powell; Mrs.
w. H. Wake; Msssrs. Tarbox, Stevens,
C~alderwood, Franklin, Maloney, Meach-
am and Phair.
The institute was conducted by Prof.
Collestsr, whose able d%iscourses during
the week have attracted deep attention.
Tuesday evening the teachers we're
formerly welcomed by the mayor, and
subsequently listened to some interest
ing remarks by Rev. Mr.. banks and
the Hon. H. w. Lord.
Wednesday evening the band turned
out and gave several numbers at the
school house, where a sociable was held,
Supt. Cowan providing the refreshments.
Thursdays session was full of in.
%strustive lessons and thoughtful sug-
gestions. In the evening there were adj
dresses by NJ. H. Brennan, DR.. Percival
and Rev. Dempsey, the institute closing
yesterday.
In tho arrangement of the time table
special attention was paid to the branch
es most likely to be taught in u
ty schools and the best methods Of
teaching them were very ably presented
to the institute by Conductor Collester,
Supt. Cowan, j. H. Franklin, z. G.
Stevens, Misses Bowers, Beeton, Bren-
nan, Taylor, Grant, Boothroyd, Lewis
and others. AS a practical training for
the younger teachers the value of this
institute cannot be overestimated.
Nearly every actua! teacher in the coun-
ty has been in constant attendance.
Discussions bearing directly on every
day difficulties OF the school room were
made Il distinctive feature of the insti.
tute and many teachers have expressed
great satisfaction with the hints received
that will aid them IN their methods of
teaching and discipline.
Supt. .Cowan directed tho attention of
teachers to the necessity of continual
study to fit themselves for the discharge
of their important duties, and assured
them that the teachers who fitted them-'
selves best fer their labors should in
variably haye tho preference in his rec
concentrations to boards. He also in
sisted that the history of our own times
be made a part of the work of every
school.
Votes of thanks were extended to
Prof. Collester, Supt. Cowan and others
for their untiring efforts to mako the in
stitute an educational and social success.
Many of the visiting teachers re-
NAMED to attend the ball given at the
court house last evening by the band.

Fruits of Colombia,

The fruits and vegetables in Colombia
are delicious and grow without culture or
care. The plantain is in universal use
and is always served as q vegetable. It is
fried and boiled when the skin is yellow,
when it is known as 'sgreen': plantain,
and when it is black and the fruit is con-
sidered thoroughly ripe. The banana is
never fried in the tropics, but is always
served as a fruit. There arc many varie-
ties Of banana. One Of the most de-
Ncious species in flavor and fragrance is
the little fig or guineo banana, which is
scarcely i finger in length. The red ba-
mana Is not q different species, but a va
riety produced by grating at Baraacoa,
Spain. All the bananas in Colombia are
yellow. The caruba, s,or passion flower
fruit, the custard apple, called by on en-
thusiastic traveller "the spiritualized
strawberry" and tho guava arc all de-
licious fruits which never reach our north
crn markets in perfcction.-Amy c.

Peculi.ratie, Of Iaohen..

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives; there is good ground
for believing that they endure as long as
100 years. An authority states that some
plants have been found by actual observa-
ton to endure Is years. Their growth is
exceedingly slow, indicating that only a
little nourishment serves toHkeep them
alive. In a dry time they.have power Of
suspending growth altogether, renewing
it again at the fall of rain. In time Of
rain they change their color, becoming
greener. Another interesting fact about
lichens is. that they grow only where, the
Hir is free from smoke OF dust. They are
never found growing in the neighborhood
of towns, where the atmosphere is i'm
pregnated with SCOT and smoke. Thus
these plants afford an indication Of the
purity Of the ar.-Forest aud StTeam.

WILLIAM T. COLEMAN, of California,
Chas. A. Dana's 1884 candidate for the
presidency. OH the Democratic ticket,
has failed in business in San Francisco.
Mr.. Coleman's failure was due to depre-
ciation in the value Of his borax Ia
COON, estimated to be worth two million
offdollars, and the depreciation is due to
the Mills bill, which places borax on the
free list. Free trade has therefore be-
gun its deadly work.

cided that the tariff is q proper subject
for study in the public schools. 1t ID
deemed advisable for teachers to ex-
plain the meaning of both protection
and free trade. That will be sufficient.
II the youth Of today are to be made
familiar with this important question,
there il no danger that the American
system will ever be exchanged for the
English system.

orally are beginning to understand the
situation better. The Massachusetts Re-
publican convention recently passed
some ringing resolutions favorable to
the division and admission of Dakota.
All the people here haye to do is to stand
firmly in their tracks and continually
demand that division be gaanted and it
will be done.

That Awful Tax on Steel Pens.

A gross of steel pens can now be pro-
duccd for eight cents. They formerly
cost $35. This little statement is floating
through the papers, but many persons
probably fail to catch its significance.
1t illustrates the blighting influence Of
that terrible tariff. The duty on pens is
nine cents per gross. Under tariff pro-
lection American producers have re-
duced the cost from $35 per gross to
eight cents, or. one cent less than the
tariff charge upon the imported article.
OF course every accountant and school
boy realizes the oppressivetaxation he Is
subjected to by the operation Of u tariff
