The appointment of census supervisor
was a complete surprise to Senator
Dodds. On the day of the appointment
he and Senator Winship and others were
in st. Paul awaiting the arrival of Sena-
tors Pierce and Casey to urge Mr..
Rucker, of Grand Forks, for the posi-
ton. 1t is understood, however, that
Mr.. Winship and even Nj. Rucker are
pleased with Mr.. Doods' appointment.
Mr.. Doods is an active member OF the
Farmers Alliance and his recognition
will be especially pleasing to that organ
ization.

M~INNEAroLIs JOURNAL: County Sup
erintendent of Schools Bras, of Davis
county, South Dakota, reports that in
his county, a free text book system has
been adopted which has solved many
perplexing problems. It has secured
uniformity in text books; an adequate
supply of books; it has reduced the OK
pense of supplying them to the com.
munity; reduced the number of classes
o%ne-third; equalized the advantages of
all classes; made the schools free in fact
as we'll as in theory, and has increased
the attendance 10 per cent. Such results
as these are eminently satisfactory and
they are worthy of the thoughtful con-
sideration of all educators.

AMONG other resolutions passed by the
constitutional convention was the follow
ing:
RESOLVED, That the constitution, as adopted by
this convention. be printed in each newspaper
allowed $40 for tie publication of the same, up.
on proper proof made to the secretary Of the
state; that the legislature at its first session pro-
vide for the payment OF same.
Under the above resolution the consti-
tuition was published in nearly every pa
per in North Dakota. The newspapers
now look to the legislature for their pay
$40 each, or about enough to pay ex-
press charges on the supplements. No
particular form Of affidavit of publisher
is required, but the TRIBUNE would sug.
gest to all publishers who have not al
ready done 80, that an affidavit some
thing like the following, together with a
copy of the issue containing the constitu-
ton, be sent at once to the secretary of
state (or auditor, who now has a number
of these claims on fle) and in. due time
the legislature will make an appropria-
ton to cover the amounts due:

The result Of Tuesdays senate eau
u convinces the TRIBUNE that the best
course for the members of the legislature
to pursue, on the recess per diem ques-
ton, is to draw their pay and say nothing
more about it. The only criticism is the
extreme length of the recess and the out
lay of ten or twelve thousand dollars for
which the state gets little return. If the
money-per diem for the recess-is not
to remain in the treasury then very little
credit will be given those members who
draw it out under an implied agreement
that it is to be given to those more needy
than the members-if such can be found,
and individual discretion" will 80 direct.
If the members, from this out, can
demonstrate that by "studying the needs
of their constituents" during the recess
they are enabled to expedite business,
pass such needed legislation as is urgent
and wholesome, and adjourn at an early
date perhaps the criticism on the recess
will wear away-before the next cam
paign. Let the issue be met squarely-
no beating around the bush. Either
take the money-if it is due-or leave it
in the treasury-to decrease the pros
pective deficiency. To take money out
Of the state treasury and then give it
anywhere the law did not intend it to
go-is a virtual admission that the legis-
lature took an improper recess-which a
large number at least will not feel like
cohfessing.

Conklin's mortgage law, which will be
proposed at the meeting of the South
Dakota legislature:
SECTION 1. Any mortgage given on
goods and chattels or personal property of
any kind, not owned by the mortgagee or
is executed, is hereby declared to be fraud
ulent and void for any purpose whatever.
SEC. 2. All acts and parts of acts in con-
t1ict with this act are hereby repealed.
SEC. 4. 1t is hereby declared tat IN en-
Urgency exists, making it necessary that
this act shall take effect Immediately,
therefore this act shall take effect from and

both houses of the legislature passed reso-
buttons designating him for the long term.
r. N. STEVENS,
Member North Dakota Legislature.

IT is understood that the decision of
the senate republican caucus Tuesday
was that the sos each member would re-
ceive for the nineteen days of holiday re-
cess should be donated to the NEEDY
and destitute" Of the state-the particu-
lar channel into which each $95 should
60 to be left to the individual discretion
of the members. If the "needy" should
be successful in getting this $4,000
for the nineteen day recess-won't the
needy pray for an adjournment for the
balance Of the session and the same dis
position of the per diem. This would
give the "needy" about 100000.

UNDER the constitution all running
streams are the property of the state.
MIR. Williams bill-house bill No. 1876
if made law will have the effect of MAX
ing all mills having dams across such
streams for the purpose Of furnishing
power, public mills and subject to the
law regulating public mills; and any
such mill will be obliged to exchange the
product Of grain for grain as provided by
law. In other words it prevents a mo-
nopoly of the streams and makes all
mills on such streams public, or custom
mills. House bill No. 1875 ought to pass.

Hon. r. N. STEVENS, who by the way
spent a few days of the holiday recess in
Washington, lost no time in getting back
at John McDowells "inspired'' card in
a recent issue of the Washington Post,
In its issue Of the 3Uth appears the
following communication which explains
itself:
EDITOR PosT: Mr.John McDowelrs letter
relative to restitution in North Dakota
deserves some attention because of the
prominence given it by publication in the
Post. The gentleman's motives may be
sublime, but his expression of them is GER
tainly ridiculous.
He impugns the integrity of Senator
Pierce because the latter has warned 'the
confding public against dishonest solicita-
tiOns," This quotation forms the Qraya.

but merely to- direct 1t into the proper

tions.
1t was due the public, as we'll as the
commonwealth of North Dakota, that the
erroneous impression of general destitu-
ton, created by unauthorized and unin-
formed persons, should be corrected: and
Senator Pierce, with this purpose in view,
stated that the reports of restitution had
been magnifed, and that the distress is
confined to a few counties. If this wefe
not so an investigation by a state official
would be unnecessary.
MI. Mcdowell adds that "if the honest
vote of the new state were consulted.
Pierce would not be Its representative"
NO further evidence Of responsibility
should be required than this statement
furnishes. 1t is a matter of public record
(of which MI. Mcdowell cannot be igno-
rant) that Senator Pierce received the
unanimous vote Of the republican caucus
and was elected on the fist joint ballot.

for nineteen days. On the 18th day aftek
the adjournment, as the constitution prov
vides, the governor filed the bill with his
objections with the secretary of state.
Now the question is, is the bill beyond
redemption? It certainly was not the
intention of the constitution-framer that
a bill should get in this condition except
after FINAL adjournment. The senate
cannot act upon the veto message unless
the message and the veto are before the
body. How can this bill be taken from
the secretary's office? Here are some
hard nuts for the legislature to crack.

GOVERNOR MILLER has vetoed the
Fargo agricultural bill and it will hardly
pass over the executive disapproval. His
reasons are too strong, his foundation
too sure to be overturned The governor
questions the constitutionality of the
act, and in this conclusion he is joined
by the encouragement and scores of
other legal lights. But it is not upon
the unconstitutionality alone that the
governor basis his objections. 1t is con-
trary to the economic spirit of his mes

SENATOR MCCoRMAoK's bill, No. IS,
simply changes the present statute rela-
ting to the limit of county indebtedness
to conform with section 1873 Of the con-
stitution. Under the te1 ritorial law of
1889, counties were empowered to issue
bonds to the extent of four per centum
of their assessed valuation for the pur-
pose of building court houses and jails.
The constitutional limit is five per cen
tum. Mr.. McCormack's bill, No. SO, is
of the same tenor and relates to the
maximum of municipal indebtedness.

Some little discussion is going on re-
garding the new county bridge near
Lawrence's, owe Apple creek, and the
charge is made that the raising of the
floor of the bridge four feet or so above
the floor OF the old bridge will necessi-
tate q larger expenditure for "grading
up" than would have been required if
the bridge had been placed on the level
originally decided upon. If the bridge
is too high it is a mighty good fault.

This bridge is built of iron-is a perman-
ent structure andthe mistake of placing it
too low would be an inexcusable blunder
on the part of the county commissioners.

NV. II I'm DFItoON
New York, Dec. 81, 1889.

Hon. M. N. JOHNSON has broke loose
again in the Minneapolis Tribune-and
the Fargo Argus. He covers considera-
BILE space, but as is usual with great men
who rush into print very frequently, hav-
ing opened ais mouth he's got his foot in
it. What the Journal wanted, and what
every other republican newspaper want
ed, and what every loyal and God-fear-
ing citizen of North Dakota wants, is
some evidence that will convict the guilty
wherever found. MI. johnson, in an
open letter to Hon. Gilbert A. Pierce,
published December ID, 1889, makes GER
tain charges and insinuations which have
been challenged by the press generally.
The Minneapolis journal put it forcibly
when it said that Mr.. johnson, by failing
to give the names of the party or parties
whom he said had attempted to bride
him with $25,000 cash and a $4,000 con-
sulship, was guilty of countenancing and
covering fraud, and that Mr.. johnson
owed it to his own good name and that of
his party that the light of day be turned
upon this alleged rascally transaction.
The last communication of Mr.. johnson,
when compared with former illusions,
shows that gentleman up in a most ride
ulous light. The quotations below form
a "deadly parallel'-that portion of his
two letters of different date, relating to
alleged attempted bribery only being
used:

AS the TRIBUNE has previously stated,
when it was again designated as the Of
fetal paper of the county by the county
board in November last, the action was
wholly without the knowledge of the
TRIBUNE. 1t was a complete surprise,
and such action had never been asked by
this paper. In fact the TR1BUNE's rela-
tions with MI. johnson had been such
that it had no right to expect anything
OF the kind. Mr.. johnson had been
against the TRIBUNE and the TRIBUNE
against Mr.. johnson. This information
is due Mr.. Ecklund, the new member of
the board, who probably has had vol
luminous statements made to him by par
ties more anxious about this matter than
the TRIBUNE. The TRIBUNE is an inno-
cent party in this transaction. By a res
olution of the board the TRIBUNE was
given certain printing. The county aud
itor obeyed the instructions of the ma
jority of the board and gave to the TR1B-
CNE official copy of proceeding of var
lous board meetings. The bill for such
printing was allowed by a majority of
the board. The auditor drew the war
rants. The warrants were signed by Mr..
Healy, the chairman Of the board. Aft
erward Mr.. Healy mutilated the warrant
in the book by running a line over his
name. Other warrants for other parties
were also mutilated in a similar manner
Does the board take the position that
bills passed by a majority of the board
