Considerable interest attaches to the
laying of the cable between Bermuda
and Halifax, and its completion will
mark a new era in the history of the
island. An American electrician who
has just returned from the Bermudas
points out how much more paradoxical
the absence of telegraphic communion
ton there is from the fact that it is an
important British naval and coalino
station, with one of the largest float
ing dry docks in the world, AMI
large military garrison, and that the
prosperity Of the island is mainly de.
pendent on its export of vegetables,
which brings in revenue of over
$3.50, 900. The people have become
alive to the necessity of knowing what
is going on in the world around them:
they are putting up better buildings,
dredging the harbor channels so as to
admit the largest craft, building docks
md wharyes, and now are placing
themselves in a position to reap The
NIL advantage of daily prices currcnt.
This evidently is not The end, for it is
umored th.t plans for an electric
Dad are already under consideration.

Some temperance enthusiast asserts that
the efforts to raise the poor and degenerate
inebriate and his family are practically of
no value as long as marriage with inebri-
ates is permitted. The legislature of the
state of Victoria, in Australia, recently
passed law which gives wife the right
of divorce if the husband is found to be
an habitual drunkard. If after marriage
she discovers that he is an inebriate, she
can also get divorce. The husband can
do the same with wife if she is proved to
be an inebriate. Many of our states have
laws bearing similarly on this subject. It
is clear anticipation of the higher senti-
ment which demands relief from the bar
barous law which would hold marriage with
a drunkard as fixed and permanent,

pleasant features the farmers of North

the high price paid for low grade wheat
Last Monday rejected wheat sold in Min

There will be large amount of low grade
wheat in Foster county and farmers should
get it thrashed as soon as possible so as
to take advantage of the present high
price that is being offered for it.

The elevator wheat storage question is
being quite extensively agitated through
out North Dakota just now. The several
laws passed by the legislature, which at
the time looked more like political bun
combe than legislation of practical benefit
to the farmers, prove to be what their first
appearance indicated. These laws are so
complicated and conflicting that neither
the railroad commission nor the attorney
general have been able to inteligently de-
termine how their provisions can be car
ried into practical effect. The matter has
been allowed to drag along without any
effort at solution of the question until the
storage problem is now upon US. The
elevator companies, with that discretion
which ought to be expected of any intelli-
gent business men, have declined to put
their heads into halter that would hang
them, as these laws would do. y The
object of all business and industrial pur-
suits is gain, or at least remuneration for
time, labor or capital employed, and no
sane person or company can be expected
to employ either with any other object
than present or ultimate gain in view. It
is simply unreasonable and absurd to ask
or expect elevator companies to do stor-
age business at a loss as is clearly shown
they wonld do at a loss if they should
operate under the present laws of this
state. It is to be hoped the next leg
islature will give US reasonable and equit-
able laws on this subject and not burden
the statutes with buncombe legislation for
the temporary political exaltation of indi-
vidual members. jamestown Capital.

valuable to the Irish cause and OF which
Cronin was treacherously in possession.

dead. Coughlin came in and began kick

man then claims To have left the cottage.
