tncteAss Of Urban Formulation.

The tendency Of psop1e to seek city
life is n Of the most rotab1e features
OF this century. At the taking Of the
first census in 1890 but three persons
out of every 100 lived in cities and
towns Of 5000 inhabitants and over,
while nearly thirty out of every 100 of
our present population now reside in
such cities, and taking the suburbs
and the smaller towns and villages
into consideration about cne-half Of
our country's population can be classed
as urban, or of the city and village
character. Improved agricultural ma.
chlnery now enables one man to pro-
luce more from the soil than four men
could do forty years ago, and this lib
crates many to go into other avoca.
lions; Manufacturing, too, requires
men to mass together in urban com.
nunities, and the railroads, too, make
the process easy and inexpensive. The
large cities increase at q more rauid
rate than the smaller ones. It seems
that the railroad is destined to render
the entire population Of the country
practically urban In character.-PuI.

NO CRIME TO STEAL LIQUOR.
WHY L RHm T1l1isf Cannot Be Reached BY

The recent verdict Of . jury at Provi-

occasioned a good deal of interest among
Prohibiti0nists and members OF the Law

athat a prohibitory liquor law is in force
in Rhode Island, and suppose the jury
acquitted the defendants upon the ground
that where rum is kept in violation OF
the law it is not a crime to take
garry away what the law forbids to be
kent by the party from whom 1t Is taken:
It is old law that ITO One can have legal
protection for any act done or properly
i1sed in violation of law. If the law does
no punish the act or the use it will at
least refuse to aid the l~aw-breakers.
There is an old law maxim to the effect
khat where both parties are in the wrong

better, because the law in such q case

that the jury, finding that the prosecu-

punish the defendant for carrying 1t

refused to give the plaintiff any dam.

case, because theirs is no prohibitory Jaw

precedent, however, and say that 1t may

EDITOR MoFFET says the TRIBUNE lied
when it stated that the county poor we're
being kept at the Lamborn hospital for
As cents a day. In order that mugwump
Willie may have another chance to call
somebody a liar the TRIBUNE desires to
repeat that the county poor are being
kept at the hospital for IS cents a day.
This arrangement has been in force since
June LIST. One dollar a day is paid for
county charges who are sick and in need
of constant attention. The county has
but two such persons now on it's hands
and ole of these the doctor declares a q
not live another month. This, certainly,
is mor economical than the poor farm
for one trip of the physician would cost
as much as a weeks board at the hos
pital. Besides, how ridiculous it would
be to maintain a poor farm with four pa
TENTS. The county has but four persons
on it's hands and anyone of sense will ad-
NIT that the present arrangement with
the hospital is the most economical that
could be devised.

AS THE TRIBUNE anticipated, a howl is
going up over the action of the state
equalization board in cancelling and null
lifying section 10 Of the revenue law.
The Grand Forks Plaindealer says:
No public act, since the time of Sparks
when his owl violation Il in defiance OF
law he suspended the presumption and
timber culture laws by certain rulings, de-
serves public Reproduction more than the
vote of Governor Miller and Attorney Gen
eral Goodwin to set aside an express stat
ute. If the highest officials are at liberty
to disregard the law, what justice is there
in condemning the petty criminal. The
right to violate law is acknowledged by
the highest or supposed highest servants
of the law. If they violate it because they
doubt its %eXpediency why cannot the thief
claim the same protection. The terh:s
Honest John" and "rruIy Good George"
have been wonderfully misapplied il these
public servants allow their action in equal
izing taxes to stand. They know their &C
ticn is IN direct conflict with expressed
statute law. If they defy the law, how can
they expect citizens of the state to repre-
sent either them or the law?
The precedent is too dangerous a one to
be engrafted upon the policy OF this state
If accepted it will lead logically to results
that endanger both the peace and prosper
ity Of the state.

WHEN the TRIBUNE stated that Editor
Moffet had put in his newspaper plant
for $500 to the assessor and clai med as
an offset, under section 18 of the revenue
law, a deduction of $500 on account of
debts, it did not claim that the board was
right in not allowing the deduction. Mr..
Moffet misrepresents the TRIBUNE. He
was entitled to the deduction under the
law and so was any other taxpayer who
demanded it. The law may be wrong,
but it is not wrong to enforce the law,
whatever it may be. What the TRIBUNE
was pointing out was the untarnished gall
of Moffet, who %endeavored to avoid the
paying of taxes and at the same time
pres umes to be the conservator of the
public morals and have sympathy for Gus
Taxpayers" Taxpayers don't want SYM
pathizers; they want helpers.

North Dakota, at Fargo, as a member of
the association. The reading OF the res
olution elected some considerable discus
sion in which Mr.. Mears was strongly
condemned because of his manner
of conducting the business of
banking, and as the association de-
sired to place itself upon record as
heartily condemning his methods OF
t%ransacting business, believing it was
equally injurious to both borrower and
lender. The resolution as introduced
was passed and he was accordingly ex-
PEELED. The action of the association
may be justified, but the verdict of the
people generally will be reserved until
a full explanation of >the cause of Mr..
Mears' dismissal is published. What the
people want to know is wherein Mr..
Mears differs from other bankers.

sible for what appears in such a column,
but if the public wants a column wherein
to ventilate its views pro and con, on
any subject, they can have it. The.

will not be divulged and no one save the
editor will know the author, unless the
author desires his name used.

The meteorological summary for the
month of August, published in another
column, shows about the average tenn
perature but a remarkably small rainfall,
only SO of an inch. In 1889 it was but
SO and in 1882 but 80, but these are the
only years since 1875-when the signal
Office was established-when the rainfall
in August has been less than this year.
There is a deficiency since January LIST
of 3.15 inches of rain Owe the average OF
fifteen years. No frosts or thunder
storms are recorded for August this year
and there was but one cloudy day.
Twenty-six days were clear and four fair.
The average temperature was 66.s-low-
est 40, highest 103. Where in all the
world was there a more delightful eli
mate than August at Bismarck?

UNDER the heading of "Getting His
Reward" the Devils Lake Inter- Ocean

UNDER the heading of "Getting His
Reward" the Devils Lake Inter- Ocean
says editorially:
There is something very strange in the
fact that Senator Pierce's two principal
newspaper organs-the Bismarck TRIBUNE
and the jamestown Capital-have per-
brough every day and every week since
the Grand Forks convention. The editor
OF the TRIBUNE, who gave Mr.. Hans.
brough his personal "word of honor at
Grand Forks that he would get the nine
votes of Burleigh county land he got but
against MIR. Hansbrough Immediately after
the convention, hut has industriously
copied all the abusive editorials he could
find in the jamestown Capital, the editor
OF which paper holds a federal position
given him by Senator Pierce. The people
OF North Dakota have not forgotten how
Mr.. HansbrouRh, only a year ago, person.
ally and through the columns of the Inter-
Ocean, advocated the election of Pierce
men to the legislature. In return he re-
ceived part of his reward at Grand Forks,
and is now getting the balance of it
through Pierce's organs.
So much has been said by Hans
brough's paper since the Grand Forks
convention about editor JEWELS prom
Use to Hansbrough" and how "Pierce
would be held responsible" that a little
explanation at this time may not be out
of place. In the first place, the TRIBUNE
desires Mr.. Hansbrough and every other
man on earth to understand that the
TRIBUNE is nobody's organ; that the
responsible editors name is perched at
the head of the editorial page, and that
he alone is answerable for this papers
course. Hansbrough, in an interview,
makes the same charges against Pierce
and the editor of the TRIBUNE, as his
paper at Devils Lake. The edi-
tor of the TRIBUNE was a delegate to
the Grand Forks convention. He was for
johnson voted for johnson told
Hansbrough he and two others Oh the
delegation were for Johnson-BUT-with
emphasis on the buff the others on the
delegation insisted on the unit rule-ae
they most likely would-then, Of course,
the three would be powerless. BUT
with emphasis again on the but-the six
didn't enforce the unit rule. Will Mr..
Hansbrough explain by what manner of
legerdemain a minority can control the
majority? Will Mr.. Hansbrough deny
the facts as above set forth? If not, let
him turn his attention to the majority OF
the Burleigh county delegation and give
the minority a rest.

As THE jamestown Alert says, "more
confusion in the seed wheat matter. The
commission, it seems, did not put out
wheat under the lien act Of the last legis-
lature, but under the lien law of 1882:
Farmers who got the seed will find it a
first lien on crops, but not on land to be
assessed as taxes. The commission
doubted the constitutionality of the law.
When the seed wheat commission pub
lish the full statement of their business
transactions there may be several other
news items disclosed that are now held
in a%beyance."
