NEEDED INFORMATION.

1t is insisted in some quarters that the
character of the conundrums suggested
for the calculation of ambitious aSpir-
ants for public service at the civil serv-
ice examinations gives an advantage
to those taught in Eastern schools over
Western applicants. This involves an
admission that should not be made.
Sectional pride should forbid any sup
position that the Eastern head is better
padded with essential facts than the
Western. Still, it must be admitted
that some of the geographical and his
torical questions are little hard for the
. Western intellect. For instance, at the
recent examinations in Des Moines, the
candidates were required to name
rivers at the capitals of each Of the
states. 1t would puzzle some to recall
the Rhode Island one, for instance, OF
to name the principal battle and COM
manders in the state of Maine in the
Revolution. Some would think there
was no state of Maine then and that j.
G. BLAINE had been the only great
warrior ever known there. Then his
tory of all the Indian wars and war
riors is required. The Eastern mind
may possibly be better able to realize
that this is all-needful information to
enable man to sort mail matter on the

THE BOSTON VIEW.

The Boston Globe looks upon the
proposition in the North Dakota consti-
tutional convention to prohibit the sell
ing of any of the school lands as eX-
tremely radical; but if its view OF the
result of that measure is even approx
mately correct, the Dakota taXpay-
ers could stand even stronger imputa-
lions of lack of conservatism. AS seen
by the Boston paper, the perpetual pos
session and leasing OF these lands
would soon create an enormous annual
revenue. without any taxation. In fact,
with the continued development of the
country as in the past, it says "the in
come from the leased land would not
only be sufficient to support costly
system of schools. but would be Suffi-
cient for all the state and county ex-
penseS, and those of the towns and
cities. We should then have the spec
tacle of a state without any taxes"
This would be an irresistible allure
ment to capital, and as the paper speaks
in the midst of the capitalists, its opinion
may be taken as somewhat authorlta-
tative when it says that "a perfect tor
rent of capital would flow to such
a state, and the material development
of Dakota would be more rapid than
anything the country has ever seem"
If this vision could be made to rise in
as glowing colorS at Bismarck as at Bos-
ton, of course there would be no hesita-
ton in providing for the perpetual
state ownership of the lands. But the
distance may lend enchantment, as it
has done on several occasions, with in
adequate return of the loan. Those on
the ground can best judge of the better
policy to be pursued. There is differ
ence of Judgment. A prominent North
Dakota educator insists that the state as
landlord to look after the lands will be
found inefficient. The tenants will
make no improvements, but extract
from the soil everything possible with
out regard to the interests OF
the state, and in no long time
render the lands so undesirable and
unproductiye that small revenue
can be derived from them. he insists
that better results can be had by selling
the lands and judiciously investing the
money. 1t is conceded by all that not
less than $40 an acre should be fixed as
the minimum price if sold. 1t is prob
able that it will seem the better plan to
hold the lands for time, at least, and
leave the question of sale for future
consideration. The notable point is the
advertising value of provisions that will
insure light taxation in North Dakota.
The Boston paper probably does not ex-
aggerate the effect of such condition
in new state. AS has heen suggested,
judicious management of the school
lands and proper Improvement of the
railroad opportunities should afford
most of the revenue needed for the gen.
eral and state uses

THE USELESS SENATE.

The constitution trainers in North
Dakota may not rise to the point of dis
pensing with the see-saw legislative
condition, but the ball has been set in
motion. and will go past them. Some
other state will have the distinction of
inaugurating the change. The idea
seems to be taking possession of the
popular mind in most of the states. and
the more the question is discussed the
stronger is the impression that the
smaller branch is an obstacle rather
than promoter of useful legislation. 1t
is found that as regards ability and
craftsmanship, there is hardly an in
stance of visible margin in favor of the
upper branch. 1t is remarked that leg
islatiOn for the general welfare when
defeated finds its death in the SEN
ate. Special and class interests
look for their opportunity in that
body. The men who go to the
legislature to make money generally
try to gel into the senate. 1t has fewer
members, and quite generally they are
selected for a longer period, giving
more chances for lucrative work. The
people who want to defeat measures
that bear upon selfish interests concen-
trate their efforts upon the senate. The
bodies that have done most effective
work in history had but one house. The

DAIRY authorizations.
How to Tell Good Cheese From
Bad Cheese,

To the Editor OF the Globe.
Since l commenced enforcing the law
against the sale of adulterated cheese,
many persons have begun to give some
thought as to the quality of cheese they
were taking into their stomach, and
l have had innumerable inquiries
from people asking how they could tell
'tadulterated" cheese, "What kind of
cheese to buy" 'sWhere to find it?" etc.
If you can spare ME space in your valu-
able paper. l will try and answer these
questions for the benefit of the public.
1t is almost impossible to tell a cheese
that has been adulterated with "neu-
ter" Oil, from one that has been filled
with rancid butter. They are each
made from skim milk and the oil or
cheap butter is added to take the place
of cream removed.
Neuter oil is stock yard grease deo-
dOriZed with nitric acid, the rancid but
ter used is of the poorest quality to be
found, the smell of it will make dog run
away, yet the acids in the cheese neu-
tralize it so that its presence cannot be
detected by the smell. The cheese
made by these substitutes is usually soft
and of mild flavor, but inclined to be
greasy. The average purchaser can
only guess at its qnality, as it requires
chemical analyses to prove it. But
the consumer is not entirely helpless,
the state of Minnesota furnishes
a stencil plate to every cheese factory
in the state, to use on every cheese
made from full cream, and it also con-
tains the number of the factory making
the cheese, it reads:

WIVES AND SWEETHEARTS

Mrs. Frank Leslie has been credited
with having the smallest feet of any
woman in America. She wears No.
shoe. But Mrs, Leslie has had to sur
render the honor to Miss Minna Irving,
the poetess. who wears size smaller
than No. 1.
Mrs, Gladstone wears beautiful
shawl of Irish lace every day she visits
the special commission court. She has
scarcely missed day since the case OF
the Irish party was opened.
The business of Paris has risen to
point that before the exhibition would
not have been considered possible. Ac-
cording to some accounts it is only
limited by the quantity of merchandise
for sale. One of the great Partisan jew
elers said recently: Never have we
sold as we have during this exposition.
There seems to be no bounds to the
wealth of the foreigners who are now
in Paris. The objects that sell most
readily are those that cost the dearest.
Pearl necklaces at 100000 francs are
snapped up nowadays with eagerness.
There are more purchasers than neck
laces. C'est absolument fou." A great
dressmaker of the Rue de la PaiX tells
similar tale. Women say: ST wish to
spend l00, U00 or 20O,0UU francs IN your
establishment. How many dresses and
mantle can l have for that amount?'
Like the jeweler, the dressmaker says:
''C'est absolument fou."
A new marvel in Paris is the cham
pion female wrestler, Jeanne du Rosay.
She performed in the amateur circus of
M. Moier, and lately it took noted
wrestler eighteen minutes to throw her.
A tumult drew the dinner to close

Three hundred were present at the din

Clemence Koyer rose and delivered a

an end.

THE SITUATION IN 1892.

1t is generally accepted as probable
that the next president will be elected
under the new census apportionment.
as the superintendent promises to have
that portion of the work ready in time.
Enough is evident to approximate the
political situation as it will be affected
by the census. 1t is ass umed that the
lower house Of representatives will re-
main at the present figure, 325, with the
five members from the new states
added. This will increase the electoral
college from 4O1 to Ala, making 20S
necessary to elect. AS the political
outlook now is, the Democrats are quite
as certain to carry all the Southern
states as they were last year. This
gives them 153, and the Northern states
of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana would raise the figures up
to PIG. if the apportionment were the
same as now. But it may be conceded
that the Southern states and the four
Northern ones named will lose several
members of congress. Texas, Arkansas
and Missouri may gain, but in the ag-
gregate the South may find a half-dozen
of its members transferred to the West.
Then, counting Montana and the four
doubtful states East, including Indiana,
for the Democrats, they would have but
I'll votes. or three more than enough to
elect. Allowing for reduction of three
in them, and the Democrats would come
in as narrowly as HAYES did in 1876. 1t
the present apportionment continues,
the new states will not affect any proba-
BILE result, presuming that the questions
remain the same as in 1888. The side
that carries New York in 1892 will elect
the president, unless there is change
in the political conditions not now in
dictated. If the Republicans gain one
or two Southern states, the Democrats
will be quite as likely to Offset them with
Illinois and other Northern states. Some
change in conditions is probable in three

LEAVE 1T OPEN.

North Dakota will hardly make mis-
take if it shall leave to the legislature
very wide discretion as to the means of
raising the needed revenue. Conditions
change more rapidly in a new and de-
veloping state; and while statutes may
become dead letters. provisions of the
constitution preserve their vitality,
whether useful or not. Ohio and other
states are trying to get rid of trouble
some tax requirements in their constitu-
tons, and leave the matter entirely to
the legislature. Illinois was forced to
make a new constitution in order to get
rid of obsolete or burdensome revenue
provisions. Aside from fixing low
maximum of taxation, the constitution
of North Dakota can hardly say too little
as to the means Of raising revenue. A
legislature should be quite as competent
as The constitutional convention to deal
with the tax matter.
