c. W. Thompson Explains the Coal Cues
ton.
Mr.. EDITOR: The railroad commission
ers have sent a certified copy of the bill
regulating coal rates to the several railway
companies and as soon as the tariffs are
issued the consumers will get the benefit
of the reduction in freights. The price Of
retail coal in Bismarck has been So per ton
for several years and the reduction tariff
recently issued did not reduce the freigh hit
to either Mandan or Bismarck. The local
reduction to S2.25 which lasted four days
was due to a run between dealers, the price
being less than cost and instead Of the
price having been increased it has only
been restored and when the new rate goes
into effect the all over the state
will get the benefit and as there are a great
many mines anxious to compete for the
trade. Competition will be sharp and I am
ready to quote competitive prices with any
Of them. 81 G. w THOMPSON.

A Voice From the Unorsanized Counties

ED1ToR TRIBUNE: The constitutional
limit (1,ON inhabitants) Is so high that Or
ganiZatiOn of our counties is forbidden for
many years. And we are shut out from
state politlcs-except with the mouth and
pen. So, with the pen as a weapon | de-
sire to express to you the thought of the
pioneers of Dunn county. Most of the fam
lilies located in this county did so with
the hope that within a few years they
would become a part of the working ma
chinery of this great state. that with taxa
ton we would secure representation and
through direct representation our interest
would be guarded and promoted.
the pioneers in any of the western or
northern counties of North Dakota deserve
at the hands of the state government at
least treatment equal to that which was
granted under territorial government. Our
%neighbor, the noble Red man. ("the nations
WardS") receive prompt attention; every
want is promptly granted and the christian
philanthrOpists rush to his aid and comfort
with material for his bodily care and
prayers for his souls salvation. But how
stitution is so low that public improve.
mentS of any nature are out of the Ques-
ton.
The legislature of this winter-18S9-9O-
all run in one line-forbidding internal i'm
provements and discouraging to further
prlatlon bills say emphatically the state is
bankrupt. The discussion over these bills
declares it,; the governors messages say it:
the amounts granted prove 1t.
The sentiment of our people is that our
state officers and representatives are "pen-
ny-wise and pound foolish"
out oil.
They are trying to secure propelling
power with cold air.
The attempt to bore a two-inch hole with
a one-inch augur will not prove successful.
The worlds history shows that more
brains and muscle and money are required
to manage and carry on a state during the
formation period, or during hard times,
than at any other time. And the founda-
ton Of the most prosperous states was laid
and the structure pushed successfully to
completion by daring. public spirited, level
headed statesmen.
In improvements and in personal property
can, without exaggeratiOn, be placed at
$2o0,OO0O0o: A loan Of one, two or three
million OF twenty, thirty and forty year
bonds, at 5 to 6 per cent, would be a fnan-
clal deal more in accord with the necessi-
ties of the times than the narrow, con-
tracted, contribution box" anti-improve-
the state that has representation. 1t makes
US tired to read the Dakota papers.
The appeals for seed are answered by
a copy Of the constitution fOrbidding
self state reliance. The demand for public
institutions, almost indispensable, are met
with the governors message crying out
met with a reference to the prayerful
tracts to nature God, or respectfully re-
ferred to Uncle Sans waste basket. The
hope Of railroads on the frontier is pro-
vided for by anti-monopoly wind pumps.

A Man of Ideas.

lion. George Jones, VI New lOrk, VINO
arrived in the city Monday is one Of the
conspicuous characters of the country. He
is chairman of the Greenback national
committee and a man of ideas. The fol-
lowing from the Fargo Argus gives some
idea of his character:
During a pleasant call on the Argus last
evening Colonel Jones stated he was on
personal business at st: Paul, and run over
to Fargo that he might have a sight of a
land he had longed to behold. The colonel
would like to have the legislature instruct
its senators and request its members to
support the silver bill reported by Senator
Jones of Nevada, the passage of which
would result IN free coinage. But what he
most desires to see, is a resolution of that
the states and territories, requiring gov
eminent aid, for the irrigation of those
arid lands, which according to latest re-
ports amounts to three and one-half tenths
of all the available lands of the country.
He would like to see the legislature of
this state, which requires that kind of
assistance, almost as much as n other
state In the union, instruct its senators
in congress to vote for a sufficient amount
of legal tender notes to reclaim all such
lands. In conversation with numbers of
intelligent farmers he met on the train to-
day, he was told that irrigation was the
one thing needed to insure large crops
every year. The colonel says he may go
on to Bismarck Monday for a day or so,
but expects to return to Washington at an
early day.; that ne Is very much pleased to
see this beautiful country of which he has
read and heard so much, and regards it q
shame that its vast possibilities are wasted
for want of money to develop its latent
resources. The Argus has known Colonel
Jones for many years, and following his
untiring efforts on behalf of the people,
The money question upon which he holds
the happiness and prosperity of the people
depends, is one he seeks to develop.
Senator Randall's Views on the Lottery.
Senator Randall has the following in the
Glendale Commercial in reply to a commu-
nication attacking his position on certain
public questions. The views are such as
many honest men hold, and are neatly
stated:
I voted for the lottery bill for the money
there is in it for the state, believing it more
honorable for the state to receive money
even from a lottery company than from
Paul or other cities. As a state we have
asked for help and are OF the national
poor list, and contributions have been
taken in eastern cities for our relief. Now
comes along a company and offers to pay
us a good round sun for the privilege Of
transacting a business in u state. We
ask them what their business is and are
informed 1t is a lottery. We hold up both
hands in holy horror and drop back into
a cushioned char ready to receive funds
from any charitable society and tell them
our religion and high moral standing does
not allow US to accept money that has
ever passed through the hands of a lot
the last cent a poor washerWoman may
drop into the contribution box for the re-
lief of the poor, heightened, moral beggar
of North Dakota.

AN ANTELoPE'S MIGHTY LEAPS.

Typical Yarn Of the Champion Liar Of
the Mining Region.
In one Of the old mining towns of this
part of California, away up on the slope
of the Sierra Nevadas, there lived sew
eral years ago, during the active work
ing of the hydraulic mines, celebrated
character whose modesty, as he still
lives In the land of the living, forbids
my giving his name. His justly cele-
brated fame arose from his remarkable
power of narration. He could take any
trivial occurrence that happened in town,
dress it up in such glowing colors and
throw so many vivid sidelights upon it
that not even the participants them
selves could recognize it. G.. B. un-
doubtedly wore for years the belt as
champion liar Of that mining region, and
one Of his stories, that I happened to
hear him relate, think is worth pre-
serving. Twill let him tell 1t in his own
words:
1T was in the spring of 80 that a
train Of sixty-flve on us started across
the plains for Californy. The most on
us were young men an able to rough it,
but we had three families, with about a
dozen young uns among us, an one baby
was born on the way Wal, Of course,
fresh meat soon got mighty scase, as
there was so many trains on the trail
ahead on us that all the game had been
killed or scairt away. The young mother
she kept kind O pindlin like after her
kid was born and got sick O bacon an
sich like, an the young fellers that had
hosses O. their own to ride, there being
half dozen on 'em in our train, used to
scour out on the plains for fresh meat
for her.
Zone day three on us got arter a
couple O antelope early in the mornin'
when our hosses was fresh, an we jest
took after 'em, yellin' like Comanches
Jest to see 'em run. There was couple
O hills on the plain that stood seprit,
| with about twenty rods O ground be-
tween em at the fur end, and the crit
ters made break to go between 'em.
We was comm on arter 'em like we
meant to catch 'em, when they see that
this open place between the hills had
grown up with tall chapparral.
Now an antelope won't run up hill
nor into thick bresh if he knows it, so
they stopped till we got Almost up to
'em, an one on 'em tried to run back by
us, but one O the boys stopped him with
a charge Of buckshot. The other one,
seein what an almighty tight place he'd
got into, jest made for the bresh an
tried to jump over it. Wal, sirs, he
made the all firedest jump as ever see
but when the critter got up into the all
he seed he hadn't jumped far enough
an I'm liar if he didn't gather him
self in the air an gin another O the
most tremendous jumps that any crittel
ever did make, an jest went a-sailin
right on over the bresh an landed OF
r'other side ont slick and clean!-Cor

The Pension Office calls attention
to provision in the disability pen

great interest to the large number OF

provision is to the effect that instead
of executing their applications for
pensions before a clerk of court of
record, as the law has heretofore re-
quired, they may verify them before
a notary public, justice of the peace,
or any officer authorized to admins
ter oaths for general purposes and
who has an official seal. If the yer.
ifcation is made before an otficee who
uses no official seal, the act requires
that the signature of such officer and
his ofiiial seal shall be certified by the

TURN ON THE LIGHT!

That's it! Turn on the light! Let
the people know who are the political
bummers and buccaneers. Let them
know who these fellows are .hat.
their "still hunts" not daring to
come out openly, but worm them
selves into Office, posing in halili-'
ments totally foreign to their natures
and fitting them much as would a
"shirt on bean pole"
This is the true field of the indie
pendent press. And the people, who
largely look to the press for informa-
ton, knowing that it has superior
advantages in getting information in
this regard, are beginning to appre-
ciate it. And that such a course
by the press would prove salutary
admits of no doubt, for just as sure
that the newspaper ceases to be an
organ and comes out and tells the
truth, after the convention as well
as before it, so sure will the immoral
politician and the little, trucking,
trading, self-seeking rats be obliged
to take to their holes.
Justice Harlan of the U. S. Su-
preme Court in a recent lecture before
law college of the University of Wis
consin voiced this idea in the follow
ing plain, strong language:
II don't over-estimate the value of
newspapers when l say that We depend
largely for our real protection in this
country upon the vigilance of the press.
1t is almost impossible in this country, as
long as the press is not muzzled, for cor
ruption to hold sway for any great length
of time. There are those who think that
everything is going to pieces, that the
nation is becoming as corrupt as all the
nations of the earth, and they Affect to
think so because they see so many things
in the newspapers. l want, however, to
express the conviction that we are a great
deal better off than we were 30 years ago
We are not growing worse. We are
growing better. The standard of public
morality and virtue is higher than it was
25 years ago. Our public men, whatever
may be said to the contrary, in the Con.
gress of the United States are. in their
moral character, a higher grade of men
than were there % or so years ago.
TIL re are less vices among them. Men
who remember Washington 80 or 40 years
ago all say that. Now | believe that "A
vast deal is due to the fact that the public
| press of this country is every day and ev-
cry hour of our existence turning its light
into the dark places and ferretting out
corruptions in their birth, and bringing
before the people of this country that
which they ought to know

Picnic ECHOES.

The general sentiment of the
meeting seemed to be voiced by some
of the following sentences.
"When there's drink there's dam
ger.
''The fence is not the place for
valiant men,
"We'll all feel gay when rum shall
cease to reign"
Politics is not all that is needed to
purify our country from the rum
curse. Not until the people take
the weapons of Heaven can it be
subdued. Young men were entrea-
ted not to let their influence be in
any way on the wrong side. Not to
have the alchohol odor on the breath
or even by going in place where it
was sold. If anyone did allow him
self to drink he was warned to be-
ware when the closet door opens and
the fumes are arising, touch it not.
Listen to the drunkards bone drum
ming on the casket. Think of the
color of red wine like blood on the
soul. Think when the form rises ON
the cup of the froth on the maniacs
lips. The speaker would write out in
large letters SO that all the nation
could read. "Look not upon tie
vice when it is red, when it giveth
its color in the cup for at the last
ii biteth like serpent and stiugeih
like an adder" Some of the sad
styps downward were mentioned as
"A bad companion,
"Only glass"
"A temptation"
"Only little enjoyment
"Bloodshot eyes"
''Only heart broken mother
"A wife's surprise
"Only wasted life"
