Railways in the West.

The Denver Republican, in an interesting article on the extension of Railways in the Far West, gives some data showing the remarkable development of this great section of the United States, during the past ten years. At that date the the Union Pacific was the only rail way across the main range of the Rocky Mountains. The Continen- tai Divide is now crossed at ten diff erent places within the boundaries of the United States.
 Of transcontinental roads, the Northern Pacific was built only a short distance into Dakota, The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe stopped in Colorado at Pueblo, and its New Mexico line had not been extended as far south as either Dem ing or Fl Paso. The Atlantic & Pacific had been built only a few miles west from Albuquerque. It did not cross the Continental divide until the spring of 1881, The Tex as and Pacific ended somewhere on the plains of Western Texas; it did not run trains into Fl Paso until the later part of 1881. Of all the five or six railways running in and cut of Fl Paso, Tex, at the present time not single one had a foot of track laid in that town then. The Missouri Pacific had not 50 much as thought of crossing the plains. The Burlington stopped somewhere in Nebraska. It did not reach Den yer until 1882. The Rock Island | had not yet crossed the Missouri River.
 The review of Railway situations of ten years ago enables one to see what enormous strides the Far i West has made in ten years. There is no other part of the world which has developed so rapidly as this. If the next ten years shall be mar ked with like prosperity the close of the century will see every evid- encs of primitiae or pioneer life within the bounds of the United States removed forever. There then will be no unknown region in all our borders. Every nook and cor ner will be explored, and every sec tion of the country will be closely connected with all the others by rail.

An Exclusion Act Winch Will Ex-
 clude,

Congressman Morrow has intro.
 duced a bill in congress to
 absolutely prohibit the coming of Chinese persons into the United
 States, whether subjects of the
 Chinese Empire or otherwise.
 The bill proposes to exclude all
 Chinese, even those who may here
 after leave the United States and
 attempt to return, excepting dj,
 plomatic and consular officer and
 commercial agents, and the com
 ing of Chinese to the United States
 for transit is exPreSsly prohibited.
 A fine of $500 for each Chinese
 brought into the United States is
 provided for the punishment of
 masters of vessels bringing them,
 and the vessels are to be subject to
 forfeiture. Provision IS also made
 for the punishment of persons aii . ing Chinese to enter the United
 States by land or otherwise and fer
 the removal of Chinese found un lawfully in the county. It Is further provided that Chinese shall not be admitted to citizenship and that conflicting treaty provisions shall be abrogated. In this report the committee, after reviewing the his. tory of legislation, says that the act of 1882 had not long teen in force when it was discovered that 2 systematic effort was being made to evade its terms of exclus slon, and Tn 1883 there were landed at San Francisco. alone 2oI4 Chinese Ill., ciudelng a large class who were without certificates, but claim they had been In the county at the date of the last treaty. These were permitted to land under wri Is of habeas corpus issued by the courts. The act of October I, 1888, pro- yidcd against the coming of Chi-- nese laborerS who were never Tn the United States. The bill now under consideration proposes a set clement of that question. Itmakes the exclusion permanent and thor oughly effective.
 The report,,refers to the dlsposit ion shown to reopen the question of the propriety of the exclusion, based on the statement that the Chinese are never found in prison or poor houses and are peaceful and law abiding. In answer to these statements, tables are bro- | duced which show that in ten years | 27,I05 Chinese were arrested in | San Francisco alone and the statement made by the chief of police Is to the effect that Chinese commit more crimes in proportion to their number than any other race in the city, that they are vici- ous and immoral and dangeroS to the young of both sexes ol other races.

The Pioneer Press reporter ran up
against a number of North Dakota po-
liticians at the Merchants Saturday and
among other interesting gossip appears
the following:
The ex-district attorney from Wahpeton
once furnished a splendid example, SO the
Story goes, of the truth that it is never safe
for a politician to talk politics with a
stranger. Purcell was the North Dakota
member of the national Democratic com
mittee, and gave it out that with 100000 he
could carry North Dakota for the Demo.
Gratis. He therefore started for Washington
to "pull the leg" of the president. While
on the cars he fell in with a weary pleasant
gentleman, a stranger to him, and they
began talking politics. During the CONVEX
sation the North Dakotan remarked that
he considered President Cleveland as a big
tub of fat, or words to that effect, but that
that cut no figure with him, as he stood
close to the "man of Destiny" and all he
wanted was the necessary 'Stuff" to carry
on the Dakota cOmpaign. But it happened
that the stranger was a prominent New
York politician who stood even. closer to
the president than did the North Dakotan.
More than that, when they arrived at
Washington the New Yorker got an audi
ence with the president first. AS a conse-
quence the Wahpeton politician did not
bring back any "stuff," and North Dakota
entered the Union flying the Republican
banner.

appointment-on the part Of some who
aspired for honor and gained it not, is as
probable as it is natural. On the whole,
however, the TRIBUNE leans to the be-
lief that there is littls cause for a good
republican to kick. Although nearly
every candidate was nominated by accla-
nation, still there was no fixed "slate"
presented for simple endorsement"
It is hoped those who were disappointed
will take the TRIBuNE's advice-swallow
their medicine whether they call it good
or not, and stand by the ticket. If they
do not, of what use is the cry of party
what claims will they have upon
the party at any future
time? There has been a great
deal of knitting in the past, and there is
evidence of some Of it again this fall but
in the interest of republicanism ard
good government it is hoped the stock of
cutlery will be reduced to the minimum
in this campaign. Let us get down to
something like political honesty once
and see what the result will be. Shame
n republican county that gives the
most important offices to democrats!
Out with such republican stupidity!

the east, if not more. We have, by the
adoption of the new tariff bill, done just
what we were instructed to do. We have
made an American tariff, not a foreign
tariff. We voted to put q stiff duty on
wool, because our farmers demanded it,
that they might raise all the wool we
use. We put a duty on eggs imported
from Canada, and there isn't a decent
hen in the United States but is cackling
in favor of the Mckinley bill. We put a
reciprocity provision IN the bill, and it is
the belief Of the president and secretary
of state that within five months it will be
in effect with all of the countries of
South America"

ACCORDING to Judge Tyner there will
be no more church fair lotteries-at
least the newspapers will not dare to say
anything about it. A Washington dis
patch says: ''-. ."i' ~
Judge Tyner, the assistant attorney gem
eral for the postofice department, has
about completed the instructions to post
masters in regard to the enforcement of
the anti. lottery law. He finds the law
more comprehensive than is generally sup
posed. In prohibiting lotteries, it also pro-
hibits all schemes for distributing prizes
as well as to the Louisiana LOTTERY COM
pany. An advertisement for q church fair
which speaks of a rattle or anything Of the
kin would be excluded from the mails.

IT seems that a meeting was held in
Washburn and a contesting delegation
sent up to Minot to contest John Satter-
lund, who was the unanimous choice of
the recent republican convention in Nc
Lean for n of the places on the legis-
lative ticket from that district. AL
though this c~ontesting delegation was
put up by a meeting not elected by the
people-simply a self-constituted gather
.ing-it seems to have accomplished it's
purpose. Mr.. Satterlupd was defeated
for the nomination at Minot, and in his
place Mr.. Staley was named.

The northwest was by no means ig-
nored by the congress just closed, not
withstanding the fact that the tariff bill
has o~vershadowed all other legislation.
Senator Pierce's land resolution went
through both houses, which is of import
ance to frontier settlers. The provision
for the p~enitentiary at Grafton, which
passed in the deficiency bill, does not
make it a state institution, but being
built by the general government, it will
probably be. designated as a place for the
confinement of United States prisoners.
It is likely to be enlarged and made one
of the five prisons soon to be established
by the government.
The $4,000 for irrigation is a victory
for Senator Casey, who has commended
for the appropriation and made a strong
fight for irrigation during the entire
session. The senate also passed his
right of way bill. The bill making a
customs district of North and South Da-
kota with Neche as a port of entry and
Sioux Falls a port of delivery, was also
passed on the last day.
Then there is the federal court bill;
the act repaying the state for the con-
s%titutional convention deficiency and the
river ana harbor bill, which appropri-
ates $3.50, 900 for the Missouri river above
Sioux City and makes provision for two
ice harbors-one IF them at Bismarck.
The agricultural college appropriation
bill also provides we'll for the North Da-
kota institution.
The public building bills-one for
Fargo and one for Grand Forks-got
through the senate, but through a lack
OF a quorum when brought up in the
house some time ago failed to pass that
body. They will doubtless pass next
winter. 49,.
Then there are numerous pension cases
attended to of which no public mention
has been made; besides many of the gen.
eral acts have a direct bearing on the
northwest and many of the best features
of the tariff bill owe their existence to
Senators Pierce and Casey and other
northwestern senators and representa-
tives.
North Dakota has no reason to be
ashamed of the first years work of her
delegation in congress. On the other
hand she has reason to be proud of the
record they have made.

The sentimental novelist who penned
the editorial in Sundays st. Paul Globe
on "The Indians Messiah" should visit
the great Sioux reservation and he will
soon conclude that the "cruel govern
mental policy" he speaks OF has left the
poor Indian all the burial ground he
needs. Here is what the s~entimentalist
says: lit wa a cruel fate which decreed
their extinction, and q still more cruel
governmental policy which has scarcely
left them a burying ground"

COLONEL BENTON devotes considerable
Of his time explaining the joint debate d.
lemma in which he and Mr.. johnson got
themselves. He goes on to show how he
met johnson and they agreed to have
some debates-how johnson agreed to it
in a letter-how the dates we're fixed and
how they went to Wahpeton and all that
but he fails to state the fact that the
Wahpeton meeting was the only one that
MI. johnson agreed to-without consult
ing his committeeman when in Grand
Forks the thirteen dates made by Colonel
Benton were agreed to so far as Mr.. John
son was concerned, but he did not sign
the agreement for the dates fxed-said
he would not without consulting the COM
mittee-asked Benton to have his COM
mittee send it to the republican commit
tee--Benton asked him to take it to the
committee himself. This johnson re-
fused to do and the only way the repub-
lican committee ever learned of such pro-
posed dates was through the medium of
an anonymous communication not
signed or accompanied by a letter of
transmittal. The republican commit
tee approved of five debates, but
no more, and SO informed MI.
Benton. That's all there is to that.
Colonel Benton intimates and would
have his hearers believe that Mr.. John
sons name appears to an agreement for
the thirteen dates, one of which was
Bismarck, October 7. 1t does not. Mr..
johnson refused to sign the paper fixing
the dates, fearing it would interfere with
arrangements made by his committee
simply telling Mr.. Benton it was Salts
factory so far as he (Johnson) was con-
cerned. Mr.. Benton cunningly misrep-
resents this matter just as he c~unningly
and by false reasoning and false figures
misrepresents the tariff.

PROTECTION FROM PR FIRES

The recent wholesale destruction by
prairie fires at Slaughter shows the fall
lacy of depending upon the average fire
break for safety. The farms at Slaugh-
ter we're all protected with ample fire
guards, with numerous we'll travelled
roads, and a public fire break along the
township road. The fire leaped all bar
riers-the high wind driving the long
line of flames across the plowed ground,
and sending burning straw and blazing
tumble weeds like huge, fiery %tarantu-
las, far in advance. Public aid should
be given and a fire inspector appointed
for each township, who should construct
fire breaks at public cost and be on duty
while the farmers are engaged in thresh-
ing. Private means, even of the best, as
this fire has shown, are insufficient
against such fires.
Another great cause of the destruct-
iveness of prairie fires lies in the fact
that every alternate section in this coun-
try is railroad land, which has been sold
in most instances to nonresident specu-
l~ators, who are patiently waiting for the
settlers to develop the country and make
their waste lands valuable because Of
their proximity to cultivated farms.
These wild lands are covered with a
luxuriant growth of coarse, rank grass
that is like finder before the flames and
when fire once reaches themsthe helpless
farmers on the adjacent government Sec
tons are confronted by a line of flames
n mile in length, and against which, if
the wind is in their direction, it is dan
gerous to con, nd. This state of affairs
has a tendency to make converts to
Henry Georges theory of taxing the
"unearned increment" of lands. It is
hoped that our next legislature will pass
an act obliging the owners of these waste
sections to put fire guards around them
or to have it done for them at public ex-
pense. The settlers who are giving time
and labor and money, %toilsomely earned,
to delelop and build up the country are
entitled to protection from the state
against this destructive agent since their
own best efforts have been IL vain.

throughout the United States will vote
on the question Of taking separate polit-
ical action and organizing an independ-
ent political party. These votes will be
returned to labor headquarters in Phila-
dclphia, and on the result will depend
whether the labor forces will thereafter
form an independent political party or
continue to support such can

they deem most friendly to the

No political mov that has yet been
made in this county has added more
strength or given more encouragement to
the straight republican ticket than the
discordant democratic convention held
Monday. The Independents did not
nor can not give any reasonable excuse
for their action in placing an Independent
ticket in the field, and the democrats
those who pretend to be democrats-can
not give any good excuse for their action
in endorsing the Independent ticket-un-
less it be that they desire to throw up
their organization entirely in this
county,
