Railroads are Liberal.

Minnewaukan Siftings: Our railroads
are deserving of praise for the liberal
policy they are pursuing in shipping in,
free of charge, coal, grain, provi. ions and
clothing for those who lost their crops
and are in need of assistance. Three
cars Of coal, about seventy-fve tons, were
distributed here this week. The distri-
button was in charge of Commissioner
Michels. The coal was shipped in free
of freight. and the pric,s was the same as
wholesale at Duluth. There are 800
pounds Of clothing on the way here from
Portland. Oregon, consigned to the
Scandinavian relief committee.

Bro. Taylor came here by my invitation.

at least four weeks before he came. 4: *

The Lord Careth for His Own.

Again has it been demonstrated that
''the Lord careth for His own" Mon
days Alert contained four or five line
notice OF a Jim crow wreck over near
Buffalo, which is situated in the country
70 nd about Tower City. 1t is now
learned that Superintendent McCa6e's
private car was one of those which we're
derailed. His cashier and private secre-
tary we're running over the division pay
ing off the employees. The station agent
at Buffalo had been entirely restored to
financial health, and the relief committee
was fastening to Wheatland, where
another month felt want would in few
moments have been filed. The train
had about caught it's one minute and
several seconds clip, when broken rail
was encountered. The boys aboard say
that for just swiftly tleeting moment
Of time, they thought old Earth, the
planet upon which we reside at the
present writing, had had tilt with one
OF Warmers Safe remedy comets and had
been worsted the first round. Then there
was a tremor, suggestive of a full
grown Arkansas swamp ague; and that
elegant buff car Of the superintendent
of the Dakota division flew out to left
field over the snow fence, as if it we're
merely a ru bier ball, smashed square in
face with bed slat bat-of our boyhood
days. This crush Of private cars and wreck
of trains LETT vacant chaos in it's trail.
The superintendant's palace on wheels
was worse delnorlized than the dem
ocratic minority in the lower house when
they heard the attorney generals opinion
on the holiday per diem prize puzzle
And what has all this got to do with
Providence playing his own for fayorites?
Well. just this: Superintendent A. J..
McCabe, instead of beng a shapeless mass
Of quivering flesh and bones, as he would
have been according to the usual pro-
gram, was lying fiat on his broad back
in bis room at home, hurting impreca-
tions at that latest ambitions alien,
Russian la grippe. That is what saved
his white alley and his neck and impresses
upon the thoughtful reader that
ancient gag; ''Troubles are often bless

Robinson's bill establishing q stat.

Haggart introduced another bill fol-
an agricultural college and experimental
station ut Fargo. No state aid is asked
The city Of Fargo gives forty acres OF
land and the general government gives
the experiment station $4,000 annually
Harmon introduced a bill against trusts
and mnopolies, which is similar to o
Senator John Sherman's measure on the
subject. Harmon also has a bill making
the state pay the mileage of members
directly to railroads.
The banking bill had it's third reading
in the senate today, but did not get a
vote. 1t was stated that capital amount
ing to $2000OOO will be invested in new
banks in this state as soon as the bill be-
comes law.
In the House
The house passed several bills, but
none of particular Importance. Inks
elevator and sidetrac!z bill was probably
the most important. Watts bill making
It a misdemeanor to give cigarettes to
children under l6 years old, was another
Lilly's bill authorizing the refunding of
state bonds, and Estabrook'e grain and
stock shipping bill which covers much
the same ground as Inks, were the other
two.
The senate's resolution to adjourn
Feb. 18th, came down to the house today
and was followed with another message
recalling it.
Williams introduced bill to regulate
and govern presidential electors. Dako-
ia has never had anything to do with
such matters heretofore. Moore got in
a bill in relation to sheep husbandry;
Sta Gilman one to exclude certain desig-
mated people from attendance on the
trial of cases of scandalous nature,
and another fixing the liability OF rail-
roads in the matter OF damages to en-
ployees. Lilly introduced school law
bill which makes, 88 pages of typewritten
matter. This is the bill which has been
before the committee on education for
several weeks and has been approved by
leading educators of the state. Worst
introduced the same bill in the senate.
Buchanan has bill which in the title
explains that it's object IS to encourage
the propagation of fishes Strom has
one to authorize boards OF township
supervisors to let funds out at interest,
and Roney to require county commits

The legislature has no use for the
manner in which the territorial veter-

abolition of the Office, if it is done, will
result from the excesses of its manage

his walk to the capitol building the first
day, and return the last day.

The County Bond Plan.
Another bill on the same subject has
been introduced into the senate and IL
intended as supplementary 70 the house
bill above. This latter measure has also
been prepared by the elevator men and
will probably become law. If SO, it will
IN all likelihood be utilized in some OF the
northern counties where the effects OF
the drouth are the most felt. In Stuts.
man county, resort to the expedlent pro-
posed by the law would hardly be neces-
sary, seeing that tho same provisions for
the collection IT seed advanced are pro-
vided On thu bill for individual credit
and collection by elevator companies,
as above recorded, in stead of county
officials; and because no general necessity
exists therefor.
The bill however provides that upon
petition of not less than 100 free holders
of the county before Fl ,ary Is, tho
commissioners may issue bonds as il for
support OF poor, total amount of which
shall not exceed the constitutional limit
of indebtness of the county, which is 5
per cent OF assessed valuation; interest
not to exceed 7per cent, bonds to become
due and payable not less than five nor
more than ten years from date, and to
be sold not less than par; county com.
missioners shall levy taxes on property OF
applicant as in the bill above named, to
be paid to county and placed in sinking
fund to redeem bonds. Treasurer shall
receive one per cent for receiving and
dlsbursing amounts, which sum shall be
coverted into the county treasury as
part of the salary fund. The commis-
sioners are made judges of applications
which shall be filed and contain some
statements as in the other bill provided.
No more than $50 bushels shall be fur
nished to any one person. The cash in
stead Of wheat shall be paid into the
county treasury SO soon as crop is har-
vested and threshed. Severe penalties
are attached for disposing of all or any
portion of grain otherwise than as pro-
vided in the application, and for perjury.
The first lien is with the county. It is
the duty Of constables. town clerks,
she!iffs, state attorneys and commits
sioners to make complaint for any viola
tlons of the law, and any justice shall is
sue warrant for the arrest Of the offender,
whose case may be determined, or who
shall be bound over to appear before the
grand jury. Only actual cost of seed
shall be charged up to applicant.
In the above two measures will be
found. in all likelihood, the substance of
legislative action on the seed wheat mat
ter. Tho Alert will keep its readers
posed on the passage or defeat of the
bills, or any important changes in them.

export would furnish subsistence for
4, 100. 600 people. In other words. an addi-
ton OF 4, 100000 to the population would,
aside from the cotton exported, absorb
the entire product of our farms The
product of the fields of America WILL in
1905, be no more than sufficient to main
tain the 72,000,0 600 who Will then inhabit
the land. Granting that our estimates of
the proportion of products exported are
correct, the probabilities are that Amer
lean agriculture, with acreage Yields in
creasing slowly, will continue for years
to supply the world with two-iifths of its
cotton; but that it cannot, after 1895, pro-
vide for home needs and furnish aughL
but cotton for export. The cessation of
the expectation of food will be immedi-
atey followed by imports of preadstuff
and in the very improbable event that
there shall then exist supplies of grains
sufficient to meet the urgent demands OF
Europe, of America, and of the tropics,
such imports will augment, from year to
year, in nearly the ratio of the increase of
popuIation.-C. Wood DaUis In the No
