on that side are in imminent danger, as
it will be impossible for them to stand

Bismarck All Right.

J. NJ. Turner, the Mandan miller, who is
secretary of the North Dakota MiIlers' as
ISOLATION, said to the Fargo Argus: 81 am
connected with the Millers' association
and reside at Mandan. The farmers out
around Bismarck are nearly all out of
debt. We have no big farms or farmers,
but mortgages are almost unknown. We
have a summer and a winter crop and
when a farmer wants money he goes out,
digs a load of coal and sells it in town.
We all prefer this kind of fuel as there
is no SCOT in it.. Almost every farmer has
a bunch of stock around him. We freight
supplies and wheat in the winter and are
independent. There is no loan business
done out there and the country is all the
better for it. We are buying all the wheat
offered and very little has left the country.

expenditure, the state is to provide for the
payment thereof? Section 1872 of the con-
stitution provides as follows: "The state
may, to meet casual deficits or failure in
the revenue. or in case of extraordinary
emergencies, contract debts. but such
the sum of 100000. exclusive of what
may be the debt OF North Dakota at the
time of the adoption of this constitution"
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
amount of the indebtedness that can be in
Cured is limited to 100000, all of which
expenditure. 1t is also very clear from
section 1877, which is as follows: mo bond
or evidence OF Indebtedness of the state
shall be valid unless the same shall
have Endorsed thereon q certificate,
signed by the auditor and secretary
IS issued pursuant to law and is within the
debt limit" that not only cannot the
bonded Indebtedness exceed 100000, but
that no evidence of indebtedness in excess
OF that amount can be legally issued. This
section clearly prohibits the auditor, under

then and by what means are the expenses
of the maintenance of the state govern
ment and the various public institutions to
be met? 1t must be clearly seen that when
the limit provided by the constitution is
reached, the state or state officers have no
means of providing for the maintenance of
the state or state institutions and the latter
must either be closed or maintained upon
the credit of private individuals. There
fore in view of the pressing exigencies of
the case l again urge upon you the great
Importance of carefully guarding the

1t now appears that l.. N. Griffin will not
go west after all. For some time he has
been in communication with parties in the
east who will arrive in a few days for the
purpose of closing arrangements for the
establishment of a wholesale drug store
with a capital of S6O,OOO. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Griffin will be one Of three in the
firm, and that the business will be doomed
from the start. SO Griffin will not leave.
This is what those who know MIN best

forth as a wholesale druggist.

Not n Candidate.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Fearing that your
reference to my name, in pleasantly, in
connection with the mayoralty, will be
misunderstood by some, l wish you would
say for me that my convictions of duty to
my calling as a pastor, would make it i'm
possible for me to hold any strictly politi-
cal position. My interest in the cause of
prohibition grows chiefly out of its bear
lngs on the moral and social we'll being of
the people. The enforcement of our bro
hlbltory law is a matter of Such vital i'm
p%ortance, that all ministers will be glad to
give their support. Respectfully yours,
GEORGE KLINE.

10 be sure the popular minister is not a
candidate. That has been thoroughly un-
derstood, but when his good friends like
Mrs Slaughter and hundreds of other earn
est workers in the cause call upon him to
bear the standard, personal wishes cannot
prevail. Mr.. Kline is in the hands of his
friends and if they break the ordinary
rules OF politics and elect him mayor the
city will be the gamer. There would be
no question as to the enforcement of the
law and the publication of the political
morals.

yesterday, and the case was continued un-
til Monday at 2 o'clock p. m. at the court

yesterday, and the case was continued un-
til Monday at 2 O'Clock p. m. at the court
house.
This case has attracted considerable at
tention and nothing is considered more
amusing than the explanation of MI. uealy
that it was all accidental-that he signed
the warrants in blank and that he did not
expect that the TRIBUNE's and other war.
rants. to which he was opposed, would be
drawn. How strange, that on the very
day he committed the desperate and unpar-
donable crime of mutilating the warrants
he knew that the complexion of the board
had changed, that Mr.. Ecklund would vote
with him to rescind the order paying the
TRIBUNE, and that if the warrant which
he signed as chairman, could only be got
ten out of the way, such action could be
taken.
And is this not lthe programme he car
ried out?
Did he not mutilate the warrants in the
morning within a few hours of the meet
ing at which he offered his resolution, re-
scinding the order?
defaclng a warrant which had been Or
dered drawn by a majority of the board
which had been legally drawn, and in op-
posing which he had been fairly and
honorably defeated?
These are the questions to be considered
when weighing the guilt IF this audacious
and unblushing schemer-this petty tyrant
who would defy the will Of the majority
and place himself as the absolute dictator
OF what bill should or should not be
paid; VINO to vent his spite against
a newspaper which has been inexcusably
charitable to him during his years of op-
position, would 90 so far beyond the
bounds of fairness and decency that his
only hope of escape from prison is through
the blindness or the charity of the court,
1t is a serious matter. An official, under
oath to the people, has committed an act
for which a citizen under no official obli-
cations would be placed behind the bars.
What then, will you say of the man who,
standing as the sworn representative of
the people, commits the crime?
Surely, there a be but one answer.

Favors Rev. Kline for Mayor.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: In your Sabbath
morning issue you say: 1.-THE name of the
Rev. George Kline is frequently mentioned
as among the possibilities (for the mayor
ship, provided the prohibitionists insist on
making q fight" .
After promising that the election to that
office OF the reverend gentleman-who is
the vice-president for Burleigh county of
the State Non-Partisan alliance, con-
tributing so greatly to the success of our
~cause-would be exceedingly gratifying to
every prohititionist in the state, as well as
a credit to the town could he be induced to
accept it, | beg to say, as regards the atti-
tude of the prohibitionists toward the re-
publican party in North Dakota, that the
prohibitionists are not organized as a poll
teal organization, the third party contin-
gency not having yet arrived in either Of
the two Dakotas.
1t is true, however, that in this state the
prohibitionists hold the balance of power
and in connection with the Farmers Alli-
ance and the knights OF Labor-the intelli-
gent tlllers and toilers of the state-whO.
be it remembered, are pledged through
their national organizations to support no

to their vital principal of opposition to
saloon lnfiuences-are invincible. But we
are not seeking political supremacy. Our
aims are higher than that. Furthermore.
we believe the pledges made in the plat
form ad OF the republican party were sincere;
we DO not forget that it was a republican
legislature that passed our prohibition bill,
nor that it was'a republican governor who
signed it with sincerity of heart. or that
we look to republican officials for its hon
est enforcement.
No, dear friends, the prohibitionists do
not want to fight. We are content to walk
by the side Of our republican brothers,
firm in the faith that our cause is safe in
their hands. But in the coming year.
wherein is to be wrought out SO much of
veal or WOE to our cause, we are con-
cerned chiefly that nc saloonkeeper, no
creature of saloon influences, and certainly
no pretended temperance man who has
