The anti-commissionists who are
denouncing the proposed railway
commission as undemocratic and
revolutionary should bear in mind
that twenty-seven states in the union
have commissions, and then read the
GLOWING from Ex-Gov. Throckmor-
ton, one Of the purest democrats in
the state: Il believe a commission
operating under a properly constitu.
ted law, viii not only afford relief to
the people, but will add to the stabil.
ity and value of railroad property il
this state and bring millions here for
further invertment in railroad con
struction that is now kept away by
the constant and ceaseless agitation
of the question.

The Galveston-Dallas News ap-
pears to be taking decidedly too
much dish in this campaign for an
outsider. If the nominations were
already made for governor then the
News might support whom it'pleased.
But the question as to who shall re-
ceive the democratic nomination is a
family affair and for democrats to
decide. The News has already init
mated that it will not support any
candidate who is not its choice, and
by its own words discredits its
democracy. Hence the News should
not be SO oficious in presuming to
give the democratic party advice.

HAVE you ever heard of such a
thing as proving too much? This is
what Mr.. B. B. Paddock, president
of the Fort Worth and Rio Grande
railroad, does in a letter to the
Houston Post. AS an argument
against the proposed commission he
says that the present rates of freight
in Texas upon all classes and for all
distances from twenty-five to 300
miles, are lower than in Georgia,
where there is a commission. Ac-
cording to this, it would be a fine
thing for the Texas railroads to have
a commission, and yet the anti-com-
missionists say it would break up
railroad building and destroy the
prosperity of the state.

TRIBUTE TO CESAR.

The present high tariff is simply a
cunningly devised system of taxation by
which the Western agricultural states
are wantonly pauperized to enrich the
Eastern manufacturing states, and
under the specIous plea of protection
to American labor'' lingo G. Blaine
and his followers desire not only to con-
tinue the Ubiquitous system but to bind
and rivet it upon the nation forever.
1t is the old story Of Senator George
Vests big COW, which, like huge
colossus, stands astride the Mississippi
river, with her head in the West and
her hindquarterS in the East. Out here
we are feeding her whole train loads of
wheat, corn, oats. barley and all other
agricultural products with which our
Western prairieS teem-and back East
they are milking her.
Under the robber war tariff the milk
has been pouring down in golden
streams night and day, making Eastern
millionaires and monopOlieS by the hun
dreds. The West, with all its wonder
full wealth of natural resources, some
times flags in its supply of feed; and
when, as natural result, the big cow
fails to give down her treasure, the
millionaire mixers cry 'Give! give!
give!" and the sheriff's hammer begins
to ring the changes. ''Going! going
goingm on hundreds of little clustering
homes in the West to supply the insa-
tiate appetite of the Tariff Cow.
Whe Caesar sent messenger to an
cient Britain demanding tribute, a
sturdy Briton chief replied: go say
if Caesar can hide the sun with blan-
ket, or put The moon in his pocket,
then will we pay tribute for light; else,
no more tribute"
So say we of the West to Blaine. Nc

CHICAGO. Sept. 3O.-There was great
change of sentiment in the wheat trade from
the close yesterday. Late Monday December
wheat sold at the low point Oh the decline at
9SSsc. Before noon to-day December wheat
sold at 81. 0014, and yet there was no wild
marketno violent changes, and not even what
might be called sharp advance. The OPEN
ing was 14c up to 9S3c. There was pretty
fair buying and cautious offering of wheat
the first hour, and on this the price climbed
to 9S84c without SO much as Isc reaction at
any point About IL O'Clock there was q lit
tie setback to 99la@99ssc, when the best
bulge of the day set IN and carried the price
to the top POINT S1.OU1S@1. 0UA, or as some
claimed. 81 .0014 straight May sold at 81. O4
and up to Sl.O5. After 10 o'clock there was
an easier feeling. aud December sold at
99s4. and May at S1U4ss The ST.
for December, and up to / o'clock
the price held around 997sc and 81. The
same influences were against the market as
on Monday. Liverpool cables were I'D lower,
spot and futures. The weather was fine in
the Northwest. Receipts at spring wheat
markets were liberal-4S6 cars at Minneapo-
lis and $50 at Duluth. There was talk of an
increased winter wheat movement at Toledo
and Detroit New York cleared no wheat,
and -four from the three Atlantic ports az
gregated but $4,000 barrels. The Englis b
visible supply increased 10000 bushels
for the week. Wheat on ocean passage in
creased is, 900 bushels by Beerbohm. Rus
sian and Danubian shipments less than last
week, at 3.S40, 900 blu shells, but much greater
than year ago. Receipts here were less
than the estimate, at 154 cars, with only "a
cars for tomorrow. The strength was due to
the local crowd. Hutchinson and Cud-
ahy were credited with buying freely
through brokers early. George Smith bought
large line. Logan e. Co., Mitchell. Com
stock and other pulls bought all the way up.
Miimine-Bodman bought freely around ST..
Longs aud shorts bought alike. There was
war talk to help the buying along. Wheat
held firm to the close. The last price on De-
cember was ST. straight, or 112c over Monday.
May closed at Sl.05 selling. In September
wheat there were sales at 961bc and 97L3c,
and just at the close the price was all the
way from 96l2c to 97l2c, depending on
whether it was q seller or a buyer who was
Obliged to make the trade. On the curb puts
in December sold at 99l2@99ssc and calls at
$1011s. The corn market was firm and adj

IN FRONT OF THE GUNS.

At Wahpeton, on Sept. II, M. n. John
son. the spread-eagie orator. opened up
the campaign with a high-tariff speech.
He modestly stated at the opening that
he had not had time to prepare for the
debate as an orator should" but that he
desired to trace back the tariff to its
origin. He said it originated among the
brigands of Spain, when the MoOrS held
the fortress of Gibraltar, and leveling
their guns at the merchant vessels pass
ing through the narrow strait, COM
PEELED them to come to anchor and di-
vide their cargo. After years OF this
highway robbery. it became settled
custom for vessels going this route to
stop and deliver to the robbers and
freebooters behind the guns of the fort
a per cent of their cargo, until finally
the rake-off to the Gibralter pirates be-
came crystalliZed in high tariff.
and the preliminary custom of levelIng
the cannOnS at the vessels was omitted.
hearers, Orator johnson, with an i'm
pressive gyration of the upper extremi-
ties, said: Fellow citizens and Re-
publicans, the people OF the United
States are behind those guns, not in
front of them.;' When he closed his
"oIation" there was an ominous silence
in the hall, and the knowing Republican
leaders scarcely looked up as their can
didate sat down. Then Hon. John d. Ben
ton took the floor He made an eloquent
ana effective address and showed con-
cIusively that while there might he
some question as to who really stands
behind those tariff guns. there is no
question that the farmer STANDS in front
of them, and they are leveled at him SO
unerringly that he is compelled to divide
all his farm produce to the extent of
about 40 cents on the dollar. Since
that meeting the central committee has
withdrawn johnson from the joint de-
bate.

per which is whooping up the race
prejudice to assist nj. n. johnson, the
Republican candidate for congress, in
his somewhat rocky canvass, recently
issued an extra edition of several thou
sand copies. containing large, full
page woodcut of Mr.. Johnson's physi-
Ognomy. In speaking OF the unusually
large number of copies printed, the
modest and retiring candidate is re-
ported to have SAID: ~ am glad there
were so many printed, so that every
Scandinavian may secure one. and |
have reason for it. You see, many of
the Norwegians are poor and unable to
buy decorations and pictures; and to
make their homes beautiful and satisfy
their craving for the artistic, they often
cut out pictures from newspapers and
advertisements to place on the walls of
their little homes: and this picture in
the Normanden will doubtless be cut
out by many of them and hung up
alongside of the campaign pictures of

THE ABLEST CITIZEN.

During the Republican nominating
convention, held in Grand Forks city
recently, NJ. N. Johnson, who was then
a candidate for the congressional nomi-
nation. made a speech at Hotel Dako-
tab, in which he said: North Dakota
is entitled to the services of her ablest
citizen in congress. am the man."
In view of the TACT that Mr.. Lam the
Man Jonson has just been SO utterly
defeated in joint discussion of the
tariff by Hon. John ID. Benton. that his
committee had to withdraw johnson
from the debate and cancel all future
dates. it will occur to the average farm
er voter that even 1.-THE services of hel

EXCEED THEIR AUTHORITY.
Worlds Fair Commissioners In
ciined to Be Wasteful.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Have the ma
tional worlds fair commissioners ex-
ceedeu their authority? A dispatch
from Washington says they have. The
special committee appointed by the
government to come out and look up
the affairs of the commission claims
that the act of congress apprOpriating
81, 800, 600 to the expense of the eXposi-
ton did not intend the whole amount
for payment of the expenses of the
commission. A good portion of it was
intended for government buildings. but
at the rate the commissioners are find
ing ways for spending money there will
be nothing left for the buildings. 1t is
further claimed that the commission
was not expected to have any
thing to with the exhibits. or
to take an active management
of the affairs of the exposition.
Mr.. Bryan, of the local board, said that
the idea expressed iii the dispatch had
been maintained by him from the start.
he thought the commissions duties
ceased with the part it was to play as
hosts to the exhibitors and representa-
tives of foreign nations. Secretary But
terWorth WAS of similar opinion. He
thought that i'll point of fact no conflict
would occur. Both bodies were seek
ing a common result. The clause In
question was ambiguous, but he be-
lieved that its meaning could easily be
agreed upon, The law says what our
powers are" said Commissioner Ryan. of
North Dakota. ut does not make any
difference what the ideas of the con-
gressmen were during the agitation con-
corning the location of the fair. The
act piveS he the control 0f tha fair man
agement, and the ideas of the con-
gressiOnal committee can have no force
so far as the law is concerned" 'lf Mr..
Gambler comes here with his committee
to tell us what our rights and duties
are," said Commissioner Williams, of
Tennessee, well tell him to go home
and mind his own business"

AFRAID TO DISCUSS 1T.

The Republican central committee
have withdrawn their candidate forcon-
gress from the joint discussion of the
tariff agreed upon between him and
Hon. John d. Benton. the Democratic
nominee. Benton challenged johnson
to a joint debate. johnson accepted
the challenge. and the two met i'll the
tlemen and reduced the agreement as
TO conditions, times, places, etc, TO
writing, so that there could not posi-
b.y be a mistake. According to pro-
gramme they met at Wahpeton on Sept.
IL. The result of this first meeting wSs
so utterly disastrous to Johnson and his
high tariff that the Republican state
central committee at once met and
pulled their candidate Off. The second
meeting of the series, as agreed upon in
writing between Mr.. johnson and Mr..
Benton, was to have been held in Grand
Forks on last Friday night. Mr.. Ben
ton was here, as per agreement,
and delivered an able and mastery adj
dress to large audience. but johnson
did not show up at all. The defeated
debater and his committee are now
offering contradictory reasons why
johnson was not here. the committee
affirming that they had made other ar
rangementS for HIM. while Johnson says
that he was down TO Detroit lake fishing
and did not know that was the night.
In spite of the garbled report IN Sunday
mornings Plalndealer, which conceals
facts and offers divers and sundIy eX
euses for its fallen hero, the fact re-
mains that johnson did not show up at
The meeting which was bV his own an
pointment. and it is plain that the COM
mittee does not intend to allow its eau
didate to discuss the tariff and the Nc
kinney bill with Hon. John d. Benton
before the farmers of North Dakota.
And in this the committee shows polit-
cal sagacity, for, as a member of the
committee stated coniidentially the day
their candidate was withdrawn: ut
will break up the Republican party in
North Dakota to let Johnson talk tariff
with that d--n Benton"
