DR.. II. II. Page, of Penn avenue, East
End, the first local physician to try the
Brown-Sequard Elixir of Life" was seen
this morning, and concerning its effect
said:
81 am more than satisfied with its results.
functional nervous troubles are benefited
more than others. The elements entering
into this compound are just those from
which nervous tissues are formed. but
systems / don't believe this will be of any
special benefit. All the patients under my
treatment at present are doing well, the inn
provement being marked"
The Doctor stated that he does not get
enthusiastic over anything, but the result
of this elixir has given him great hope, and
the result is beyond his most sanguine ex-
pectations.

Kilrain-Sulliyal,.

The Minneapolis Tribune thus concludes
long editorial on the Sullivan Kilrain
fight:
kilrain's defeat was another illustration
OF the fighting qualities of Sullivan. He
goes into the ring to fight, and he fights.
Contrast his methods with that of his
opponent. The whole object OF Klrain
during the contest was to avoid punish
ment, tolwin on a foul, or to make draw
if possible. While these tactics were al
lowable under the rules. they were those
OF coward. In no part of the fight was
ne the energetic aggressor, but by all the
petty tricks and devices Of the ring he at
tempted to disable his antagonist, thus hop
ing to win by accident or circumstance,
what he could not otherwise achieve or
dare attempt. Not SO Sullivan. In the
ring he is perfect demon of aggression.
He asks no favors and grants none. He
simply wants his opponent to stand up and
tight. You do not find him trying to get
away or going down to avoid punishment.
He won't have draw-it must be victory
or defeat. To such men it is always VIC
tory. Sullivan is to-day champion of the
world, and his equal will probably never
be seen again in the prize ring.
While it IS hardly possible to draw q
moral from the career of John l.. Sullivan,
it is not out Of place To call attention to the
fact that he typifieS the successful man in
every walk of life. The bold, plucky, en-
ergetic and aggressive men always sue
ceed, no matter what their business may
be, while the hating, hesitating and tricky
ones always fail In the end.

In the platform of the Farmers ALI
ance adopted at Fargo the other day ap-
pears this plank:
That the pay of the Legislators be $500
and mileage per session.
The TRIBUNE doesn't call attention to
this plank for the purpose of criticising
it-because it is not quite certain but
that it would favor this amount. It SIM
ply wants to show the difference between
the governments standard of iberality
or just compensation and that OF the
Farmers Alliance. At the present rate
and presuming upon the legislature
comprising 125 members, and 6O-day
session, there would be paid in salaries
$4,000. Under the Farmers Alliance
platform the members would receive
$62,5OO. Ifsuch thing had been pre-
pared by the attorneys, what a howl
would have gone up from the farmers.
Seriously, however, the TRIBUNE is
pleased to notice an inclination on the
part of the people of North Dakota to
pay liberal salaries to state officers-an
appreciation of the fact that honest,
capable men cannot afford-for the honor
there is in ito fill these offices on Mig
gardly salaries.

ONE HOUSE, OR TWO.

The TRIBUNE is by no means alone in
the advocacy of single house legislative
assembly of North Dakota. The ques-
tion commends itself to the serious con-
sideratlon of some of the leading news
papers of the country, and among the
members of the constitutional conven-
tion the merits and demerits of the prop
position are being discussed. The Chi
cago News editorially commends it and
adds that ''the corporations who control
the upper houses all over the land will
hardly consent to it t'-an excellent
reason why the people should demand
the simpler and more reliable form Of
government. The Minneapolis Tribune
also sees great merit in the scheme, and
says:
tits understood that among the constitu-
ton builders of North Dakota there is
strong sentiment in favor of organizing
the legislature on the plan Of the one
chamber system. 1t is argued that the
historical, social and political conditions
the adoption of the bi-cameral system do
not exist in North Dakota. This is un-
dOubtediy true. There is no aristOcracy,
no hereditary vested interests, no special
class in need of protection and represent.

IT is stated in Chicago dispatch that
commanders of the Grand Army of the
Republic for the departments of Michi-
gan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Kentucky, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Missouri, representing 145,OOO comrades,
have issued a proclamation in which
great dissatisfaction is expressed in not
receiving something more than an evas-
i've answer to repeated requests for a
1-cent rate per mile travelled in attend
ing the national encampment at Milwau-
kee. It is further stated that in case of
failure to secure 1-cent rate the COM
manders declare their determination to
carry out by general orders in their re-
spective departments the spirit of the res
olutions adopted at the twenty second
national encampment, to the effect that
unless railroads furnish the requisite
rate, they will discourage the attendance
of all except members of the national en-
campment, and ask the commander-in-
chief to issue general order, requesting
only duly authorized representatives of
the Grand Army of the Republic to at
tend said encamp,nent. If this action
is carried out it is predicted that money
in Milwaukee will be tied
up, and action brought to recover what
has already been expended.

In various parts of Dakota there are
complaints of excessive hot weather, lack
of rain and parched ground. But after
all the drouth in Dakota has been very
slight in the light Of history. It is re-.
recorded that in 1903 and 1904 the Rhine,
Loire and Seine ran dry. The heat in
several French provinces during the
summer of 17O5 was equal to that of a
glass furnace. Meat could be cooked by
merely exposing it to the sun. Not 8
soul dare venture out between noon and
4 o'clock, and thousands were Frustrated.
In 1718 many shops had to close and the
theaters did not open their doors for
three months. Not drop of water
fell during six months. In 1873 the
thermometer rose to 118 degrees.
In 1778 the heat of Bologna was so
great that hundreds of people perished
in their houses. People took refuge un-
der ground. In 1893 in our own country
every green thing in many localities was
burned up, fruit dried on the trees and
the furniture and woodwork of houses
cracked and split.

The scheme for neutrality-suspicious.
ment suggested by the TRIBUNE gives
each county representation. That is
what the people want. Where county
is large enough to make more than one
district the power to subdivide the coun-
ty and fix the boundaries of said dis
tricts might be lef6 to the board of
county commissioners. This would over
come the Fargo Argus objections to
this scheme of apportionment. The
TR1BUNEs first choice is one house only.
The second choice is two bodies-senate
and house-with representation in the
lower house by counties and in the upper
house by districts, of about 1000 popu-
lation. Representative districts should
contain about 5000 population or a
major fraction thereof.

The date Of the republican state con-
vention was fixed for August 21st. This
is thought by some to be too early and by
others too late-so it is doubtful If
any other date would have given more
general satisfaction. There was objec-
tion to the 28th because Of the q. A. r..
reunion at Milwaukee on that date.
There was objection to September 4th
because that would leave only three
weeks for the campaign. It could not
be earlier, for that would deprive the
members of the constitutional convention
from participating in their respective
county caucuses and conventions. Chair

matter, says the committee endeevored

In Favor of Reciprocity.

CHICAGO, July 10-A dispatch from Vic
tori. B. G, says: The report submitted by
the president and unanimously adopted at
the annual meeting of British Columbia
board of trade, is pronouncedly in favor of
reciprocity with the United States. Re-
ferring to the fishing industry of the prov
ince it is said that in the absence of any
useful efforts on the part Of the federal
government, private enterprise has ex-
plored and demonstrated that the black
cod and halibut banks are practically un-
limited. The board expresses the earnest
hope that the dominion government will
endeavor to bring about an interchange
of fishing products with the United States,
as thereis no other market. Reference is
made to the vast iron deposit in the prov
ince, which would be utilized to the advan-
adopted. Had the 40 per cent. in
creased duty on lead been passed
last session against the states
it would have produced bad results
to the salmon industry. AS to lumber,
reciprocity would be of lncalculable bene-
fit. The report draws attention to three
causes cause 81 which ta has regard TO- the develop

cient unskilled labor at moderate cost;

under which the necessaries of life which
have to be imported become SO dear that
the rates of wages current in other parts
of the dominion cannot be adopted there;
and third, the absence of market for pro.
vincial products. In conclusion, the re-
port urges the board to represent in the
proper quarter the disadvantages under
which tie province is placed both by its
isolated position and present fiscal policy
Of the country.
