g|orth Dakota d !. Legislation.

W. ~ H~AVtu AVOlO1uI1VA'
That seems to be the topic of
conversation among the people
generally. Everybody is talking
of the past acts. and looking for.
ward with great expectancy to
wise Legislation in future, and
wishing for brilliant achievements
ON the part of our new state gov
ernment. The formation of such
laws as shall be for the best inter-
ests of the greater number of it's
subjects. The people are WATCH
ing the acts of each legislator with
more than common interest, as the
formation of laws i'm our new state
will effect more or less the indivi-
dual interest of everyone within
its borders. Did you ever notice
how, in like manner, with what
eagerness the people of the sur
rounding country are constantly
watching the great flood of new
goods daily pouring into the great
trade place ofSHAW & CHARL-
TON?
); Have you not been interested in the
manner in which courteous clerks,
with willing hands, are fast distribut-
ing these goods to almost every pros
porous and happy home in Pembina
county? The trading with us, the Sc
curing of such bargains as we offer,
will surely tend to promote the happi-
ness Of any family. You see, we are
modest. although the facts warrant
much stronger terms. Did you ever
think Of the many reasons why, the
people from far and near, are so unan-
1mous in making our store their trad
ing place? Did it ever occur to YOU
why SHAW & CHARLTON's store
is constantly filled with pleasant GUS
toners? Because they buy for cash at
close prices, mark goods at very
smallrate Of profit, and are glad tohave
their friends take advantage of their
low prices. Because the constant and
rapid moving OF goods consequent up
on a large trade, keeps everything
fresh and new. Because they are
}obliging, always willing to deliver
goods anywhere in the city, or fill all
orders from country friends. Because
they DO NOT RUN AWAY, but stand
and compare prices and give out bar
gains to anxious customers until they
are overawed with establishment, and
often In ecstasy, are heard to exclaim|
aloud: "Well that beats the world
becaus they do not hire you to trade by Civ
ing presents and charging extra OH some
thing else to make it up. Because they
give the lowest prices on everything. Be-
cause everything in winter goods is now to

SIGNS OF OUTLAWRY.

The case OF horse-stealing which is re-
ported to have taken place near Bradford,
with the probability that the crime has been
increased by either murder or kidnapping, is
calculated to arouse serious thoughts as to the
adequacy of the protection afforded the
citizens in the less thickly populated re-
gions of the State.
of late years the public recognition of the
necessity OF respect for law and individual
rights has been relied upon to protect the
public in regions where an effective guar
dIanship by police would be difhcult, if not
impossible. But such crimes as those of the
Nicely gang in Somerset, the McClelland-
town robbers in Fayette, the Bald Noun
tain outlaws in the Eastern part of the State,
and this last indication of highway robbery,
justify the belief that organized bands Of
robbers have taken advantage of the general
security to enter upon systematic depreda-
tions which will not stick at murder.
When such evidences of lawlessness ap-
pear, it is certain that urgent measures are
required to hunt down and punish the GRIM
inals. If civilization in the nineteenth CEN
tury cannot guarantee security to life and
property, it must turn back to the methods
of less advanced stage and make each To-
cality responsible for crimes committed in
its midst. Before this is resorted to- how
ever, the officers of the law in every section
where such crimes are committed should
make an earnest effort to prove that they can
fulfill the purpose for which their Offices ex-
ist, in the arrest and punishment of the
criminals.
While this is being done, there seems to
be necessity in both city and country for
law-abiding men to learn to shoot straight
and promptly in defense OF their lives and
property.

The work and growth OF the Young Mems
Christian Association was the subject pre-
sented TO two large meetings last night,
owing to the public interest which attracted
too large gathering TO be accommodated at
a single meeting. This organization for
Christian and unsectarian work has been
literally supported by the wealth of Pitts
burg and the reports presented yesterday
show that the investment yields the best re-
turns in the work that it has accomplished.
It's membership during the last two decades
Aas been multiplied by three. Its present
Buildings and accommodations are such as
would nave seemed almost beyond belief in
its early davs; and the constant attendance
70 the full capacity of its reading rooms,
gymnasium and other attractions prove
that all the expenditure to furnish these
things is more than justified. The good
work done by the Y. NJ c. A. will insure
a continuance of the liberal support which
has been accorded to it in the past.

HERE AND THERE IN LONDON.
REV. GEORGE HODGES AGAIN WRITES OF
THE BIG CITY.

Boosted Palaces Which Prove to be Only
Plain, Ugly Buildings-The Last Argu-
ment of Kings-How the European
Soldier is Trained.
THERE are several big buildings in London
which are called palaces. There is Buck
ingham Palace, and st. James Palace, and
Lambeth Palace. These buildings are very
large and old, but not handsome. After you
have seen them, you conclude that the title
palace" hke 'cathedrals," is taken rather
from the Importance of the inhabtant of the
house than from the grandeur of the house it.
SELF These palaces" are plain, ugly build
1ngs,-some are built of mere commonplace
brick, and are dingy as dingy can be-
London houses are generally PLAIN. There
may be Queen Anne" houses discoverable
there somewhere, but did not see any-not in
London. nor anywhere else in England. There
are 20 houses in the East End, along the line of
the Fifth Avenue Traction road, finer than
any that saw IN the West End of London.
buckingham Palace is in the midst of 50
acres of fair gardens So that the Queen is not
troubled by the roar of the London streets.
Lambeth Palace, too, has fine surrounding of
lawns and trees. Wandered about in the Lam
beth Palace gardens one morning; it was like
being in the heart of the country. And vet be-
side the palace runs the Thames, and across
the river is the busiest neighborhood in Lon
don.
Presently the Archbishop of Canterbury
came to the door, and got into his carriage and
rode away-an erect dignified man. with the
strong, kindly face which you see in the pic
lures. He gets but little leisure to enjoy his
beautiful gardens.

THE SUGAR TRUSTS PROFITS

Commenting on the figures given in the
statement of the Sugar Trust to the effect
that its profits have been SIC, ,00O, 900 per
annum, or at the rate of 20 per cent on a
capital of $50, ,000 600, Wall street financial
journal says: THUS, it is understood, all
this profit except an inconsiderable fraction
was due to a manufacturing monopoly.
The intrinsic value of the plant
before the trust was formed was estimated
at about fifteen millions. On this basis the
profit was at the rate of 65 per cent per an
mum, after paying interest on the ten mill
ions of working capital that they borrowed. e"
Besides this showing of the remarkable
success of this combination, in forcing tn e
public to pay for dividends on wholly
fictitious capital, another very salient point
sticks out of these figures. That is the ex-
treme degree to which these irresponsible
forms of organization carry the abuse to
which great corporations are widely subject,
namely, that the profits do not all reach the
stockholders. II the profits of the trust
thus far in its existence have not averaged
more than $40, 900, 600 per annum, it must
have made no profit at all during late
years. This appears very plainly from the
fact that an extra charge of one cent on
the sugar consumption of the country
amountsto $50, 100000 annually. During its
early existence, the Sugar Trust was so
successful in its monopolistic purposes as to
enhance the price of sugar to consumers
fully cents. As outside competition has
been stimulated by these immense profits,
the margin has doubtless been cut down;
but it is not difficult to perceive that the av-
erage increase of the charge for refining and
distribution, with the actual cost of the op-
erations virtually unchanged, has been more
than the third of cent represented by the
Trusts statement. The disclosures made as
to the management of other Trusts, and the
total absence of accountability in that form
of organization, points to the conclusion that
the $40, ,O00, 600 OF acknowledged annual
profit means that nearly as much more has
been distributed among the insiders, in the
shape of brokerages and agencies, not to
speak of the profits drawn from manipula-
ton of the market for Trust certificates.
The building of competing refneries has
already cut down these heavy profits to a
great degree, and the reduction of the pro-
lection on refined sugar to half cent per
pound will complete the work. The Sugar
Trust will probably earn moderate profits,
but its ability to make the public pay divi-
dends on wholly fat values in its stock will
be very much restricted for the future, even
if the New York courts do not succeed in
making it obey the law and abandon Its il
legal attempt to create monopoly.

COMING DOWN TO FACT.

1t is somewhat satisfactory to observe that
the esteemed Philadelphia Press is some
what tardily, but still correctly, trying to
put the recent State election in its proper
light In its issue of Saturday it declares
that Pattison's election is not a Democratic
victory, but must be attributed to the de-
sire of many thousands of Republicans to
correct the bad methods in their party man
agement which had become too offensive.
That was the issue made by Mr.. Pattison's s
supporters, and they are sticking to it about
as we'll since election as they did before"
1t then goes on to show conclusively that
Pattison's election had no bearing on the
tariff. That is well established, although it
would have had somewhat more pertinence
if the Press had made that ayowal before
the election. Beyond that it does not ute
cover the ground. If the esteemed Press
had confessed, in addition, that the Repub-
ican organs and orators who unsuccessfully
tried to make the public believe that the
tariff issue was to be decided by the election
of Governor for Pennsylvania, were in
dulging in very shallow Misrepresentation,
it would have said about all that the occa-
sion seems to call for.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
P1TTsBURG. MONDAY, NOV. 10, 1890.
THE soUTHsIDEs WATER.

The temperance, at the fire on the South
side last night, OF the familiar trouble of in
sufficient water pressure mphasizes anew the
duty of Councils. Fortunately this partic-
ular fire was not of a character to cause
serious damage; but the reflection is cogent
one, that if the flames had started where
they had an opportunity to spread heavy
loss might have been caused by the inability
of the fremen to secure water at time when
it is most important to have it.
The DISPATCH has often pointed out the
right of the Southside TO have a constant
and adequate supply of water for all pur-
poses. on an equality with other sections OF
the city. The right is lndisputable. The
Southside pays taxes for the maintenance of
the water service and for fire protection on
the same basis as the rest of the city. If
taxation without representation is tyranny,
taxation without fair return of the public
services which the taxes are intended to pay
tor must be equally bad. 1t is clearly the
duty of the city government to provide just
as good water facilities for the people OF the
Southside as for the dwellers on this side of
the river.
This duty is all the more plain because,
if our recollection is not at fault, the agree
ment between the city and the Monongahela
Water Company, by which agitation OF this
question was settled few years ago, laid
down the course which the city was to take
in case the water company failed to furnish
a full and pure supply OF water. If the re-
ports o! low pressure and filthy water which
constantly come from that populous section
are not complete fabricaIions, it is the duty
OF the city to take the action contemplated
BY the agreement and furnish the Southside
with water from its mains on this side of the
river.
Beyond question, in view of the constant
complaints, it is the duty of the city to give
the subject thorough investigation, with a
clear understanding that If the facts are as
stated, prompt and decisive remedy will
be furnished from this side of the river.

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.
Though Many Centuries Old, 1t is Neverthe-
less Still Effective.

-AoooAA Luduy centuries olu, III Is NeVeTLne-
less Still Effective.
From the Boston Herald
M. Lecerf recently read before the Societe de
Medicine Pratique of Paris a paper in which
he relates the study he has made of treat
ment used by the Chinese:physicians for diph-
liberia, a treatment which has enabled the chief
physician of the colonial service in the Dutch
East Indies to have mortality of 2per cent in
this complaint
This treatment is very popular in the East,
where diphtheria is very common. 1t was
made known over 800 years ago. but has since
remained the property of the Chinese ply
sicians. who try to Keep it a secret.
1t consists in: Q) A powder containing
borax, borneol. mercury, acetate of copper,
prunes. pulyerized pearls and coptis tecta root;
~ two decoctions of portions of different
plants, to be used as gargles and tisanes; (3) of
hygenic regime.
After having given this general information
Mr. Lecerf reported the analysis made by DR..
Bettinck of the powder. He then examined
the different elements used in this treatment
and ended by relating the cases reported by the
Dutch physicians after treatment by the CHI
nese method.
The plants used are quite active; the captis
in particular, is species of hellebore and con-
tains berherine. This method of treatment
seems to me to owe it's success to the incessant
washing of the throat and to the direct appli-
cations to the false membranes. which prevent
the development of microbes. and, consequent
ly, the secondary infections which are the true
danger OF diphtheria.

CHANCE FOR I1TPARTIALITY

An Endorsement of the position of The
DISPATCH and suggestion for non-parti-
san legislation are both contained in the
practical agreement of Republican leaders
since the election that, after all, they will
not insist on passing the Federal elections
bill.
The corroboration is of The DISPATCH's
assertion with regard to that measure that
its sole purpose was to secure by legislation
the return of enough Republican members
20 maintain a majority, as well as of its
further prediction in the same connection
that legislation based on such a motive
would be sure to lose more seats than it
would gain. Such motive is an improper
one for legislation. and a measure inspired
bv it is practically certain to be unfair
The fact that before the election the Repub-
lican leaders were declaring that the Federal
elections bill would be passed, and since
then have completely abandoned that idea,
fixes that character to the bill. Not only
the public verdict against such measures,
but the possibility that the power created by
the bill would tall into the hands of a Dem
oeratic administration, causes them to drop
il as if they had premonitions of getting
hold OF the hot end of the poker.
II the measure were framed solely to Sc
cure fair and untrammeled elections North
and South, without regard to party advan-
tage, there would be no reason why the bill
should not be passed at the second session of
the present Congress, with confidence that its
wisdom would be demonstrated, even under
a future Democratic administration or be-
fore a future Democratic Congress. This
suggests what the Republicans can do
with such measure SO as to confer credit
on themselves and benefit on the country.
Suppose they were to 60 to the Democratic
leaders with proposition like this: What
ever may have been the purposes of this
bill, we desire to shape it so as to meet the
approval of all men who honestly desire fair
elections, whether North or South. We are
ready to Join with you in making any
change that will provide an impartial and
unauestionable regulation of elections, so as
TO insure that either in our own States or in
yours, votes can be cast without intimida-
ton and will De counted without manipula-
ton; whatever features in the bill are un-
fair, we will strike out; whatever sugges-
tious you can make to add to the safeguards
Of free and honest ballot, we are ready to
accept In short, we ask your cooperation
TO frame a bill for impartial and non-par-
tisan regulation which will commend itself
by its practical operation, whether the
