Rates are Low Enough.

There are some reformers in the
present Legislature who propose i'm
mortalizing themselves by still fur
ther cutting down the legal rates Of
advertising, Notwithstanding the fact
that rates in Dakota are now consid-
erably less than in Iowa and many
other states. The Legislature two
years ago cut down the rates more
than 25 per cent, and we know OF
no reason why another cut should
be made. Newspapers may be use-
less luxuries, but they are good
things to have around during a pc.
%litical campaign, and also have a
mission to perform in advertising
the country. Rates are low enough
now and should be left alone

THE statement is made, on the author
ity of a navy paymaster, that ifsa paper
of tacks is wanted on board a United
States ship on foreign station, it takes
sixty-twO signatures and c0unter-sig-
natures to obtain it. This is cited as an
evidence of useless red tape. 1t would
be just as reasonable to cite the fact
that to transport one letter from New
York to San Francisco requires the
services of so many scores of postal
clerks, railroad engineers, conductors,
brakemen, etc. Systems devised for
great affairs must necessarily embrace
small ones. Suppose that, instead of a
paper of tacks, there was needed $4,000
worth of supplies. 1t would require no
more signatures. What is called red
tape is generally official routine neces-
sary to the keeping of accounts and the
maintenance OF system in large trans
actions. Governments could not be
conducted without it.

THE Cardinal Lavigerie, who is said
to be likely to become Pope in the event
of the death-of Leo XIII, is an Austrian
prelate, distinguished for his hostility
to the African slave trade. If he should
become Pope the world would witness
the interesting spectacle of the whole
power and machinery of the Catholic
Church brought to bear for the aboli-
ton of the African traffic in human
beings. Perhaps few persons are aware
that, Notwithstanding the abolition of
slavery in North and South America, the
traffic still continues with hardly dimin-
ished proportions, and rather increased
horrors. The slaves go to different
parts of Asia and Africa, and as the ma
tive tribes diminish in numbers their
pursuit becomes more relentless and the
policy of the slave-dealers more cruel.
A papal crusade against the traffic would
probably end it.

There is no school-book ring i'm the
new deal; oh, dear, no. 1t is only COM
bination between Becktold s. Co., a firm
of st. Louis job printers, the Standard
Publishing Company, of ST. Louis, and
the Indiana SchoOl-bOOk Company, to
make three profits off the books furnished
to Indiana school children under the
new law, which was intended to reduce
the cost of such books and do away with
speculation in them. The ingenious
Mr.. Becktold, who, in his role as a great
philanthropist anxious to protect the
public against grasping Eastern publish
ers, found it necessary to register in
this city under false name, gives the
whole scheme away. Mr.. Becktold re-
lates how, as a refOrmer and job printer,
he was moved to wrath by the opera
tions of a schoOl-book syndicate in In
diana and other States, and how, in con-
junction with the Standard Publishing
Company, he set about circumventing
their nefarious plans, and, by the aid
of new law, transferring the profits to
the pockets of his own firm. Diploma
cy, not to say trickery, was needed
to accomplish this. At the last
moment it was found desirable
to make the enterprise ostensibly
an Indiana one, and five minutes before
"our bid" that is to say, the bid of
Becktold g. Co. and the Standard COM
pany, was opened, the Indiana company
was organized. This is the company
which the Sentinel would have the pub

For commercial reasons, universal

For the general government to establish
at general expense an institution for the

FUNERALS as at present conducted and
celebrated are relics of the dark ages; but
there is no good reason why a man should
not be regarded as sensibly after he is dead

dead his family should cucumber them
selves with ugly, sufIOcating costumes, and
with display of mortuary ostentation for
the expression of their sorrow and the pub

made at a cost which financially embar-
rasses them. The rich should set the
example by simplifying the luxury of

lie believe was formed solely because its
members are animated with motives of
benevolence toward the school children
of Indiana. But still, admits Mr..
Becktold, the Standard will do all tho
work, and "our company is practically
the one awarded the contract" So great
is the Indignation of this st. Louis phi
lanthropist over the enormous profits
which he says have been made by the
Eastern syndicate in Indiana schoOl-book
traffic, that he can hardly find words to
express his feelings. At the very least
calculation they have, he declares,
cleared not less than 100000 year.
Then, in a burst of excitement; this re-
former continues: "They say we cannot
make anything on our contract at the
prices fixed, but / think that we can
show them that even at our prices we
can make S15O,0OO net, very good
profit, considering everything" This
sum certainly is good profit, con-
sidering everything; considering first
that the contractors are posing
as public benefactOrs, content with
nominal profits; considering that
"we," meaning, possibly, both Becktold
& Co. and the Standard company, will
make the $3.50, 900 net, and that obviously
the share of the Indiana company, to
say nothing of incidental expenses, such
as retainers to the Sentinel, the State
Librarians bills for cObbling up the
books, etc., are not included, but when
added will amount to something not far
from the gains of the wicked syndicate
which the good Mr.. Becktold and his
friends are fighting. The great trouble
in the smooth working of this new
school-book deal seems to be that the
chief manipulation finds the double role
of refOrmer and speculatOr somewhat
trying. Had he been interviewed on
the subject in indianapolis instead of st.
Louis he might have carried out the pre-
tense of pure benevolence, but at home,
where he was less on guard, he mixed
the two parts badly. AS the result of
his disclosures, the Indiana public knows
from the best of authority, namely, one
of the operators, what kind of a job is
being practiced upon it in the name of
reform.
