FOR GRAIN SHIPPERS.
The Importance of Thorough Mix
ing for Shipment,

Col. G. S. Rogers in the Market Rec
ord: 1t is very important when grain
is being loaded for shipment that it
should be thoroughly mixed, so that
it will run entirely alike throughout
the car. 1t is common impress,
sion on the part of shippers that
il grain has been run over two or
three times it must necessarily become
thoroughly mixed. 1t is often fOInd,
however, that when this has been done
the grain is uneven i'll quality, mani
testify run over in layers, which have
only been reversed by handling. Mix
ing can only be effected either by
running separate streams together or
by shOyeling the grain over.
When grain is sold by sample, If there
is any variation in quality from the
sample sold by when unloaded from the
car, the buyer rejects it. In case the
market advances pending delivery,
the buyer demands the fulfillment
of the contract by the delivery
of the specified quantity of grain
equal to sample, and the seller is held
liable for any loss arising from procur
ing the delivery of it; or, if the buyer
can make use of the grain rendered,
settlement may be effected by making
suitable allowance on the price
sold at to cover the intrinsic differ.
ence in value. The buyer can.
not be compelled. however, to accept
anything different from what he has
contracted for, even at an advance foI
difference inequality; and hence, if the
market declines pending delivery. the
grain is liable to be refused entirely il
not equal to sample, and it has to be
resold, the loss from the decline in the
market falling wholly upon the shipper.
1t is difficult, even with the utmost
care, to obtain true average sample of
a car load of grain that varies in quail
ity, as it is impossible to determine Z
even approximately, the proportion of
each quality contained in the car. The
sample is as liable to be below the aver.
age III quality as above, and in the fOr5
mer case the grain would necessarily Id
sold below its real value and delivered
without the variation in quality being
discovered by the seller.

RAI,LOT pROTECTION.

Gov. HILL objects to the feature of
the proposed electoral reform that re-
quires all the ballots used at an election
to be printed by the state. lie is not,
however, sustained in this objection by
Democrats generally who are advocat-
ing reform. 1t is insisted that to be
effective the state must prepare and
print the ballot and guard it from the
possibility of touch by any partisan
agents until it reaches the hand Of the
voter, who must he shielded from un-
authorized scrutiny until his vote is
deposited in the box. The Democratic
governor of Missouri urges this point in
his message, and suggests as models for
that state the new ballot act of Massa-
chusetts and the one vetoed by Gov.
Hill. last year. The new system has
not yet passed the experimental stage,
and may develop objections in its prac-
tical operation. 1t is an suspicious in
dication that men of all parties recog
nize the need of protection of the ballot
in its purity and are disposed to coop
crate for its attainment.

THE GEoRGE IDEA.

The prints of HENRY GEORGE hung
about town show a good head and face.
1t is not charged that he is working for
selfish ends in his missionary labors.
He evidently believes in his theories,
and presumes that they cover practical
benefit to the masses. He will probably
aim to show to the legislature Nednes-
day that the common system OF taxation
is "a fine upon industry and thrift, and
penalty upon truthfulness and integrity,
putting premium upon evasion, per-
jury and fraud" In meeting the objec-
ton to taxing realty only as unjust to
the country districts, it is claimed that
farmers pay more personal taxes in pro-
portion to the values than city people;
that there is less evasion in the rural
districts than in the large towns. and
that with tax on realty only the pro-
ducers would pay less In. proportion
than the owners of city property-Or
that the country would pay less than
now. This is understood to be the view
taken.

TWO AMERICAN AUTHORS.

Mrs. AMEIIE RIvES-C HANLER has
written (among other things novel
and tragedy. Gen. LEW WALLACE
has written a novel and a tragedy. Both
of the authors are Americans, and the
fruits Of their genius will be perma-
nently classified in the annals of Amer
lean literature. But the question has
arisen among certain wise men as to
which of the two offered coin current
at the gates OF the Temple of Fame.
Outside of the immediate circle of
votaries belonging to each, the answer
appears 20 be that the author of ben
Hur" and "COmmodus" has outStripped
Virginia's favorite child. Particularly
is this felt 10 he the case in a compari
son between ''Commoduso and "Her0d
and Marianne" In the history of
Rome, if the name of HERoD is more
familiar to us by its connection with
Christian events, that of CoMMoDUS is
none the less terrible-type. as twas
and is. of the rulers of the empire
in the days of its passing away.
The blood-madnesS of HERoD finds a
fitting parallel in the bestiality of COM
MoDUs. Each offered to the author
opportunities possessed by few of the
historic characters of that age. 1t must
have been the lack of the true dramatic
instinct which led Miss RIvEs to sacri-
flee the play itself to HERoD; to even
shorten the relieving Whiteness of Ma
RIAsINE rather than soften the por-
trayal of the blood-stained Roman con-
sui. Gen. WALLACE does not fall into
this error. CoMMoDUs is the key of his
tragedy, but MARCIA, MATERNUs and
the others form charming parts by them
selves. We lose no sight of the charac-
ter of CoMMODUs. none Of its basenesS
is lost upon us. but beside it rise MEM
cries Of all who played life with him,
bright sidelights to his own. "Commo-
dus'' is not work Of superlative merit.
1t is to be enjoyed most Tor the promise
of greater things that it contains. But
it does not, as in the case of sHerod and
Marianne" leave bad taste ia the

any. important change in them not al
ready announced. The debate will oc-
ioupy ali of this week and Monday of
next week, the time for voting on the
passage of the bill being fixed for Tues

made the subject of special orders.
Monday, after passing the Notifications
appropriation bill, the river and harbor
bill is to be taken up. Mr.. Springer in
tends to try to get consideration for the
omnibus territorial bill Tuesday, but
the indications are that he will meet
with some Republican opposition. The

day. He says that if what he is told is
true. regarding the economical policy
agreed upon in reference to the num-
Der of funerals he is allowed to inaugu-
rate, there will be music in the air for
the neXty sixty days, and the war dance
will be continued uninterruptedly until
the chcken=hearted dudes have all re-
turned to their wives. He thinks that
under no condition can he get along
with less than 500, and that if this num-
Der is judiciously located throughout the
territory the greatest possible good will
result therefr0m. The apportiOnment
is proving an arduOuS task, and the
number accredited to only two towns
have so far been settled. Bismarck and
Yankton will require 101, the former
winning the odd trick. jamestown has
made requisltiOn for fifty odd, but will
have to be satisfied with less. Maj. Ed
wards wants 1S5 for Cass county, and
the governor is inclined to give him this
opportunity to wipe out that plurality
against him if it can be so arranged.
Deadwood needs large number, and If
the demands are not materially scaled
ano ther levy will have to be made.
Regarding his cabinet, his eXcellency
is much worried. The prime requisite
for recipients of his portfolios is to be
able to show an unbrOken record of
twenty years as JEFF Davis Democrat,
with open, turbulent hostility to all
other parties. and such material is scarce

WAS 1T INrrN rIONAL
Samuel G. Seibert Drowned at a
Philadelphia Wharf

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 13.-The
body of Samuel c. Seibert, lately pay
ing teller of the Union Trust company,
was taken from the Delaware river at
Bainbridge-street wharf Saturday even
ing. Yesterday afternoon the steamer
Camerata arrived. at the wharf from
Cuba and began unloading a cargo of
sugar, About 4:30 Mr.. Seipert boarded
her and began looking around her decks
interestedly. He was allowed to satisfy
his curiosity, and started ashore over
the gang plank. The next moment
there came the cry: "a man over
board" He had dropped into the river
between the sides of the steamer and
the wharf. He was noticed to come up
once, and then disappear finally. Henry
Scott, wharf hand, threw off his
coat and dived IN after him,
but in few minutes gave up
the search. The police began
patrolling the place and graphing with
hooks. At 9:45, after he had been in
the water an hour, one of the hooks
caught his clothing and brought him to
the surface. His accounts with the
Trust company were straight, and it is
believed the drowning was accidental.
Mr.. Seibert was single man, 33 years
old. and resided at 2O5 South Twelfth
street.

THE CHURCH BOARD

Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, Jan. 13.-The GLOBE has
already published the wonderful fnan-
cial record made by the trustees of the
North Dakota penltentiary. The man
agement of other departments of this
institution is creditable to the APP
pointees of Gov Church. Uncle John
Russell, who is noted principally for
his modesty, is member of the board
and admits himself that he doesn't see
how its affairs could be improved
upon. Your correspondent was ac-
corded an inspecting tour through
out the entire building. Were it not
for the ever present bolts and bars,
telling of the deprivation of some ones
liberty, QUE could imagine himself in an
unusually well-kept private Institution.
Every nook and corner is scrupulOusly
clean, and neatness reigns everywhere.
Denny Hannafin's famous remark, that
the walls, bars, locks and chains are
only needed to keep people from break
ing in, can not be fully appreciated
until the situation is fully understood
by personal inspection. OF course, the
minuti4 of the management devolves
upon Warden Williams, and the credit
is due him. 1t is undoubtedly the prize
public institution of the territory, and
will be so pronounced by this commit
tees report.

BISMARCK, Jan l3.-Ira S. Lampman,
of Barnes county, is member of the
house, and ranks as an Alliance leader.
One can tell that he is a farmer two
blocks away, and when his well devel-
oped hand is graSped satisfactory proof
is adduced that he does not do all OF his
work with sulky plow, either. At
present Mr.. LampIIan is riding around
Bismarck in the now famous band
wagon, imported from South Dakota eX-
preSSly for this occasion by Col. Price,
J, Nj. Green and Harry Hunter. And
this is the way he said he happened to
get aboard, along with twenty-five other
Alliance men, out of the .thirty-tWO all
told:
81 arrived in Bismarck several days
before the session begun, and at once
began an effort to secure the speaker
ship for Farmers alliance man. but 10
name attracted more than dozen
votes. | saw that Mr.. AikenS was the
leading candidate, and his strength was
rapidly Increasing up to Sunday even
ing. Well, we farmers have ma ;ority
in the house, and naturally wanted to
have something to say regarding the
organization. We learned that the old
members had held caucus, and deter
mined to force the handsome gentleman
from Lincoln down our Threats, think
ing that we did not know how or when
to get one that would go down without
the choking process Some of the MEM
beers were favorable to Mr.. Aikens,
and endeayOred to ascertain his
views upon certain topics dear to
the alliance neart, but were repealed.
They then became merely anti-Aikens
men. The alliance members held a
caucus, and with practical unanimity
decided to support Mr.. Keith, of Sioux
Falls-nOt blindly, however, as some
people would have you believe, but
after intelligent and deliberate cOnSid-
Grafton. We couldn't agree on one of
our own members who would and could
ENTHUSIASTICALLY, and so took the next
best man. You know that compromise
is inevitable in all rational delibera-
tive bodies. Besides, we are perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. Keith. You, of
course, have seen the questions sent out
to all candidates for the legislature by
the alliance before the election. Well,
we have his signature to these inquir-
les, answered according to our own
wishes. and are thoroughly convinced
that it is not merely all ante-electiOn
promise.
Il see that the Pioneer Press says that
the corporations have captured the
house. Well, car only say they have
not. In fact, the Press itself says
almost as much in an indirect way.
The evident personal chagrin which
the correspondent is suffering is dis
played so glaringly that it's no trick at
all to see that he is not satisfied with
reporting the proceedings, but essays to
shape legislation himself, and this is
the whine drawn forth by his first, but
by no means last, defeat"
This is the way one of the sure
enough farmers talks of the situation,
and as he took no insignificant part in
shaping matters, hes ought TO know the
real why's and wherefores thereof.

THE statement of the Kansas gov
ernor, that prohibition has eliminated
nine-tenths of the drinking of eight
years ago in that state, IS vigorously
challenged by some ofthe papers of that
section. They insist that the evidence
is abundant that the state is full of
saloon drug stores and moonshine dog
geries. which doa large business in eva
sion of the law. The governor has been
somewhat distrusted by the Prohibi
tionists, and evidently does not mean to
have that condition continue.
