CERTAIN republican senators, it is re.

shod over the democrats Of that body
when the federal election law is put on
its passage. Mr.. ingalls, is said to have
emphatically declined to play the dan
gerous role Of usurper. The democrats
OF the senate have the whip hand. The
senate has no means Of applying the gag
without revising it's rules, and the dem
ocrats can resist the change Of rules ali
summer it necessary. There is no
method of limiting debate In the senate,
and the republicans will have to play
fair or they will find their schemes abso-
lutely blocked by determined minority.

THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY,

The East Line Separating the Territories
of Uncle Sam and Victoria.
Formerly great difficulties were expert
enced in locating the exact line which sep
arates our country from that belonging to
the kingdom of her majesty, Victoria I.
Now all that has been overcome, says the
St. Louis Republic. According to the
treaty of Client. tho British were allowed
all the land lying north of point 1900 feet
south of the forty-ninth parallel, thence
running west to the Pacific ocean. In
April, 1870, surveyors at work establishing
an Indian reservation discovered the fact
that great error had been made in the
calculations of the commissioners who
had established the line 4,7OO feet south of
the forty-ninth parallel, which, if followed
west as laid out. would take in the British
fort at Pembina. The surveyors COM
municated this startling fact to the general
government and the secretary of state
informed the British minister, whereupon
new boundary commission was formed
forthwith Few of the 100000 of people
of the United States at that time knew that
our country was without northern bound
but such was the case. During the summer
of the year last named congress by joint
resolution appropriated 100000 for carry
ing on the work of establishing the true
boundary.
By the end of 1s73,the boundary commits
sion had done its work: stone cairns. earth
mounds, and wooden and iron pillars had
been set up at intervals of from one to eight
miles apart from the Lake of the Woods to
the Pacific ocean. There are exactly $50 of
these landmarks between the Lake of the
Woods and the base of the Rocky mount
aims. The Red River valley is marked only
with iron posts, which are set at the exact
distance of one mile apart. All the iron
pillars used in the contamination of this
great work were cast in Detroit, Mich.
They are 8 feet high, 8 inches across at the
base, and 3 inches across at the top, cast
hollow. They were made hollow so that
could be set permanently by driving cedur
posts through the hollows. Each post is
inscribed with this legend:
Convention of London. Oct. 20, 1918.
When stone cairns were used they were
made feet high, feet square feet at the
bottom, taperlng to 81 feet at the top.
The mounds of earth used used as marks
were made II feet square and feet high
How many OF these mounds and cairns
were built between the Rocky mountains
and the Pacific ocean only the commission
ers know; suffice to say that as long as
stone, earth and iron will last the question
of our northern boundary is settled.

action OF the federal and state authori-
