Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-01-31

SENATOR HAGGART introduced, by re-
quest, a bill establishing a piano-tuning
board. The reading of the title of this
bill caused some merriment in the SELL
ate, and as a result the bill was referred
to the committee on woman suffrage. 1t
is understood this committee met at once
and was equal to the occasion. 1t seems
the bill was drawn by a Mr.. Zimmerman,
a Fargo musician, and has some merit.
1t provides that no person shall be al:
lowed to tune pianos in this state unless
he has first been examined by a compe-
tent board to be appointed by the gov
ernor, and received a license therefor.
The aim is to drive ont %pretenders. The
bill will doubtless pass.

In his great speech in the United States
senate on the ODD inst, on the bill of Mr..
Butler to provide for the emigration Of
the negroes from the south, Senator In
gals said:
-Four solutions OF the problem have been
Experimentation, cXtirminatiOn. alb

is still a fifth solution which has never
been tried; and that solution is, justice.
Stack o III guns, open your ballot boxes.

if, after the experiment has been fairly and
honestly tried, it appears that the African
race is incapable of civilizations: if it APP
pears that the complexion burnt upon him

with you about some measure OF solving
the race problem. But, until then, nothing

that he casts must be honestly counted.
These are the essential preliminaries, the
conditions precedent to any consideration
of the Interior and fundamental questions
of race supremacy or race equality in the
United States. north or south. Those who
freed the slaves ask nothing more; they
will be content with nothing less. The eX-
pertinent must be fairly tried. This is the
starting peint and this is the goal. The
longer it is de erred the greater will be the
evaporation and the more doubtful the
final result.

REPRESENTATIVE NEDRUD has also in
troduced a bill, No. 23S, prescribing the
maximum rate that railroad companies
may charge for the transportation with
in the state Of coal mined in the state. 1t
also regulates the putting in of US and
sldings and the transportation of cars
from one road to another. The bill COM
pels the railroad companies to put in sid
ings where the mines which are being
worked are not more than two miles from
the main track. This will help Cotton,
of Ward county, out. He now has to
haul his coal six miles to a station,
whereasif he had a siding he would have
to haul it only two miles. The maxi
mum rates are rs cents per ton for the
first fifty miles or fraction thereof, where
the whole distance shipped is less than
fifty miles; t~hree-quarters of a cent per
ton per mile for the next fifty miles, and
one-half cent per ton for each additional
mile. This would seem to be a very lib
eral rate for the railroads-more liberal
than is beneficial for the development of
native coal mining. This is practically
the same bill as that introduced by Sen
ator Belyea (by request) on Tuesday.

COMMISSIONER of immigration Frank
H. Hagerty, has issued his statistical
book on North and South Dakota. He
had begun the preparation of this work
before division, and he deals therefore
with three subjects-the territory of Da-
kota, the state of North Dakota and the
state of South Dakota. A great deal of
labor has been put in on this work, and
it seems to be a very valuable publica-
tion-equal, probably, to Resources of
Dakota" issued by his predecessor in
Office. It is an official, statistical, histor-
ical and political abstract. 1t is full of
agricultural, mineral, commercial, manu-
featuring, educational, social and gen.
eral statistics-in fact a complete "blue
book" of the Dakotas. The constitu-
tons of both states, the names of the
members of previous legislatures and
constitutional conventions, population,
crop reports, etc., are printed, making it
one of a most invaluable work for all
who desire thorough and reliable infor-
nation regarding the new states.

REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON has also
introduced a bill fixing the maximum
railroad rates on native coal. 1t reads as
follows:
SECTION l. Railroad companies and
other common carriers shall charge for
transportation Of coal within the limits of
this state, Of coal mined in the state Of
North Dakota, no greater sum than one
half cent per ton per mile; Provided. That
all coal mined west of the Missouri river
in said state shall be transported by said
railroad C mpanies and other common car
riers from the place at which said coal is
mined to the Missouri river at a common
rate not to exceed seventy-five cents per
ton.
SEC. 2. Any violation of the provisions
of tins act shall subject SAID railroad com
pany or other common carrier to a fine OF
--- dollars for each and every such
violation, to be recovered by any person
suffering loss or damage thereby, in any
court OF competent jurisdiction.
SEC.2. The railroad commissions of this
state may enforce the provisions of this
act and may recover the fine herein pro
vided for, in the nalne Ut the state of North
Dakota.

That was a very good provision Rep
resentative Williams go. in the Walsh
e bill, authorizing the county
treasurer to first offer all delinquent
lands for sale in bulk at auction-the
bidder to state the lowest rate of interest
at which he will take the lands and pay
the delinquent taxes. 1t is believed that
by this system, in most cases the delin-
quents would not be obliged to pay owe
ten or twelve per cent, whereas under
the present system it amounts to about
30 per cent. The bill provides that in
case the treasurer is not successful in
selling the delinquent lands in bulk he
shall sell them in the usual way. The
penalty. however, has been cut down to
about 5 per cent.

The petition from Grand Forks that
a brewer be Unidentified for losses sus-
tanned because of prohibition is remark
able in at least Il respect. 1t is signed
by a large number of prohibitionists, and
some Of them give reasons why they be-
lieve the injured party should be indem-
nitieu. The question naturally arises,
however, is not the brewer, who has
loss as the hundreds of small saloon
keepers who have all they possess and
all means of a livelihood for themselves
and their families invested in bar fixtures
and buildings that will, after July LIST
next be practically worthless?

SENATOR L1rrLE's bill, No. 1856, re-
quires sleeping car companies to pay a
license Of 800 per annumo on each sleep
ing car run or operated on any railroad
within the state. The license is to be
issued by the secretary of state. Sleep
ing cars owned by railroad companies
and special or excursion sleeping cars
are exempted from the provisions of the
act. Such a license, if it can be laid,
would bring quite a sum into the state
treasury each year.

TIE senate joint resolutions result
hitting the prohibition question met
with a cold shoulder in the popular body.
Forty-tive voted against it and only nine
fer it; and three or four of the nine who
voted for it did SO simply because they
favored the second reading and reference
of the measure to a committee, the same
as Il other bill. The sentiment in the
house is very strong against tinkering
with the constitution at this time, and
from a part standpoint the republicans
did not believe it wise to attempt to repeal
IA law to which the party, by its platform,
was pledged to sustain, until it shall
have been given a fair trial.

names all the greatest and all the best
newspapers. The selection made in
cludes every religious, agricultural, or
other class weekly, havinga regular issue
of so many as ten thousand copies; all
the great monthlies, the leading dailies
in all the largest cities, and aims to name
the best paper in every county seat hay

thousand, and every other town, village

which issues as many as @ thousand
copies a week. The population of every
place where a newspaper is published is
stated in the catalogue; county seats are
designated, and the circulation rating ac-
corded to every paper by the last issue of
the American newspaper directory is
given. Out of the seventeen thousand
papers named in the directory, only
about two thousand are selected; of
these only five are issued in the state of
North Dakota and among these it is, per-

In the Fargo Argus u.s." whoever he
may be, speaking of the test of a carload
of Ignite coal, says: CATER consuming
the carload, the results in figures show
that there is very little, if any, difference
between the cost of the native and east
ern soft coal at the present freight rates.
There is no question about the quality of
the coal as a steam and heat producer.
1t is pleasant to work with it, for it is
easily fired. No trouble to keep up
steam. 1t burns with a bright blaze,
clean white smoke, and burns into a fine
ash. 1t clinkers some, but it is a brittle
clinker, easily removed. If the railroads

furnish one-tenth of the wheat of the
United States, even in a dry year, and in
favorable seasons, o~ne.seventh to oue-
eighth. With the arid land districts
brought under cultivation the Dakot&s
would produce three times-a dozen
times the present yield. Chicago is a
candidate for the worlds fair,
and expects to have the great north
~west-which has built up Chicago
at her back. Such sentiment as is ex-
pressed by the Herald is not calculated
to enthlse the people of the northwest in
Chicago's behalf. But the Herald does
not express the true sentiment of Chica-
go or the people generally. The repub-
lican press and the party of progress and
developement-take the other side of the
question and will stand at the back Of
our senators and representatives in their
efforts to gain recognition and substan-
tial aid from the government. The set
tiers Of the Dakotas have paid into the
national treasury for lands, something
over $4,000, 900, and it is not unreason-
able for these people to now ask for the
expenditure of a few thousand dollars for
irrigation purposes, or rather for surveys
and experiments to demonstrate the feas-
Utility of artificial moisture in these dis
tricts where the natural rainfall is insult
firiant.
