The st. Paul and Minneapolis papers
T pleased, of course, over the fate OF
the lottery bill. But this will not buy
seed wheat for the needy farmers. The
TRIBUNE gives those who favored this
revenue Measure credit for having cham.
pioned it from honest motives. Those
knowing anything to the contrary are
earnestly requested-and as honest, God.
fearing men, it is their duty-to appear
before the senate investigating commit
tee and tell what they know.

ST. PATR1cK's day will be celebrated
in Fargo by the Catholic church. The
Republican says: "There will be- two
masses in the Catholic church during the
forenoon; in the afternoon there will be a
grand street parade and in the evening a
reception and banquet at the Columbia
in honor of Bishop Stanley. The last
named feature will be a notable one.
Prominent speakers will be present, and
it is expected that eloquence will "how
unconfned." It is proposed that all
classes shall join in the ceremonies of
the day, and that the celebration shall be
worthy of the occasion"

EVERY man, ome and child who has
ever danced, played, sung, or listened to
the delightful waltzes of the famous
Strauss family, consisting of Johann, the
father, and Johann, Joseph and Eduard,
the sons, will be happy to learn that the
world-renowned Strauss orchestra of
Vienna, which has been respectively led
by the four members of this distin-
guished family of composers and leader
for more than sixty years, will make a
tour of the cities of America during the
fall of this year.

The crop reports for 1889 now coming
from the agricultural statistics show that
North and South Dakota do not stand
alone in loss by drouth or shrinkage of
values. The careful reader will no longer
be led to believe that North and South
Dakota are exceptions and stand alone
in the great agricultural distress. The
following is clipped from the Chicago
Times of the Sd inst:
The statistical report of the secretary of
the Illinois state board of agriculture, just
issued, represents that the farmers of this
state lost nearly $l0,000.000 on their corn
crop of 1889. According to the report, the
yiefa was 247. s 1859 bushels, the estimated
value of which was $58.59 8 ,047. The aver
age cost Of production, as estimated from
the reports OF 1000 correspondents was
1915 per acre, or $68,272,872 for the entire
crop. According to the returns there was
a profit of $2,626,S0 0 in twenty two coun-
ties, and a loss Of $12.562, 127 in the remain
ing eight counties. In estimating cost Z
per cent. is allowed as interest on capital
invested in land.
Notwithstanding this unsatisfactory
showing the report speaks of the year 1889
as an unusually productive in other
crops. In the words OF a dispatch sum-
marizing the report: "Not only has the
yield been good, but the quality has been
above the average, and the farmers of the
state have reason to congratulate them
selves upon the present condition of agri-
cultural affairs" The farmers may lind
reasons in the report, as we'll as IN their
own experience, for thinking differently.
They are told that they lost nearly $10,OO0,-
600 on their corn crop, and not only so, but
that they got 100000 0 less for their hogs,
100000 less for cattle, and only a tri1e
more for sheep last year than they got in
1888. In view of these facts set forth in
the report, and the notorious fact that the
prices of nearly all kinds of farm produce
are extremely low, the farmers Of Illinois
and OF the west generally may think that
they have very little reason to congratulate
themselves upon the present condition of
agricultural affairs.
This great loss in Illinois falls upon
an old, we'll developed, rich state. The
great loss in North and South Dakota
falls upon new states, new beginners and
very naturally is more keenly felt. It
does not show that those new states will
not in the neal future produce again
immense crops-or that they will not
cur better prices. It does show that
agricultural pursuits have not been prof
liable throughout the country.

THERE will be a convention of the re-

CASHIER Lyons, of the First national
bank of Fargo, seems to have taken a
great deal of interest in the lottery bill.
He wired all over the country to bankers
to send in remonstrances and-remon-
strances came. Was it the moral aspect
of the question that the banks objected
to or the fear that the bringing into the
state of several millions of dollars annu-
ally would cut down the market rate of

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, FEB. ii, 1890.

Of the charges of bribery and corruption
relative to the state convention, the cleo.
ton of United States senators and the
passage of the lottery bill. Judge Fran
els has been employed as attorney and a
stenographer is kept busy recording the
testimony. The committee is absolutely
impartial in summoning witnesses, nearly
all of those who have been called thus
far having been opposed to the lottery
bill, in whose interests it was claimed by
some the committee was appointed.

The meeting at the Presbyterian church
Saturday evening was just what Mayor
Bentley wanted-a meeting where those
who opposed the revenue lottery bill
spoke out and all those who favored the
measure either kept still or remained
away. The names to the protest will be
read with more interest by the business
men of Bismarck than by strangers who
do not understand the local situation.

The language used by Chief Justice

The language used by Chief Justice
Corliss in his address to the people in
opposition to the lottery bill, is not cal
culated to raise that gentleman very high
in the estimation of his fellow men.
Probably no man occupying 1.-THE exalted
position of chief justice Of a state, ever
resorted to such filthy and disgusting
language as that used by Guy G. H. Cor
liss in his manifesto to the people on the
lottery bill.

the people of Fargo favor the measure,
believing it to be a legitimate and practi-
cal revenue measure.

Naval engineers are much pleased with the
auxiliary air and circulating pumps for the
cruisers Concord and Bennington. A recent
test Of these pumps showed that 100 strokes
per minute can be made on seventy pounds of
steam, and that if necessary this steam press
ure can be increased to 140 pounds. 1t has
been furthermore shown that the pumps, when
working $50 strokes per minute, can perform
work equal to that accomplished by 1923 strokes
per minute of the Yorktown's pumps. But to
obtain the 123 strokes the Yorktown's pumps
required a steam pressure of something like
1876 pounds.
The superiority of the pumps in the Quin-
tard cruisers over those in the Yorktown is a
matter of no little satisfaction to the officers
OF the navy, inasmuch as the Yorktown's
pumps are of English design, while those put
in the Concord and Bennington are American
in design and manufacture. The work of
getting aboard all the machinery of the Con-
cord and Bennington has been effected. With
in two weeks after the cruisers are launched
it is calculated that steam can be gotten I'D.

AstOnisned at Ice

Astonisned at Ice.
The natives Of tropical countries are sci.
dom so much astonished as when they are
first introduced to snow and ice. The con-
gealing of water is q phenomenon they are
slow to comprehend. A few months ago Sir
William Macgregor enticed several of the
New Guinea natives to the hitherto unscaled
summit of Mount Owen Stanley, the loftiest
peak in British Australasia. On its barren
summit, nearly a thousand feet above the
zone of vegetation, big icicles were found,
greatly to the amazement of the natives,
who were much startled when they touched
them and insisted that their fingers had been
burned.
A year ago, when Mr.. Ehlers assembled
Mount Killma-Njaro, in Africa, his native
porters, who had lived all their lives near the
base of the great mountain, pulled off the
boots with which they had been provided as
they approached the snow line and plunged
merrily into the SNOW with their bare feet.
They lost no time in plunging out again and
lay writhing on the ground, insisting that
their feet had been severely burned. Some
OF the Central African natives who have been
introduced into Germany mistook the FIRST
snow storm they saw for a fight of white
butterflies. Lieut.. Won Francois says the
mistake was a very natural one. One day
when he was ascending a tributary Of the
Congo he saw for the first time the air filled
with q great swarm of white butterflies, and
he says the spectacle closely resembled a gen.
tie fall of snow.-Montreal Star.
