WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 90, 1890.


A WRITER in the WATCHMAN this
week pointedly calls attention to the
unreasonableness of the existing scale
of expense of the states judicial estab-
lishment, and let's the light in on some
of the ways in which the big bills are
run up and fees and salaries to the fa-
vored few are perpetuated. This legis-
lature will be false to its duty if it fails
to reduce the judiciary to its proper
level and lop off its attendant extrava-
gances. 80
CREDIT should be given where it is
due in discussing the subject of a state
school tax. 1t is not rev proposition
at all. As matter of fact, DR.. II. ID.
Holton of Brattleboro introduced bill
into the house two years ago, which
contained the principle on which the
bills introduced this fall are based. DIR.
Holton, however, proposed a tax of
fifteen cents on the dollar of the grand
list, while the bills this year provide
for eight and one-half cents.

SENATOR MORRILL, was elected on
Wednesday for the fifth consecutive
time. Every one wishes him another full
term-for even the democrats have the
highest personal respect for him. The
decision to support Mr.. Phelps rested
wholly on the political aspect of the
case. The followers of Grover Cleve-
land did not like to endorse the record
of typical republican. A personal
compliment would be more or less of a
political compliment. SO reasoned the
democrats, and they voted for Mr..
Phelps, who of course is entitled to
the highest honors the party in this
state has to give. But Senator Morrill,
has no reason TO regret that his election
was not unanimous. If he had been
less true-grained republican, he might
have received every vote cast. AS il
was, he had the loyal support of his
party, aud one or two democrats could
not refrain from voting for him.

THE Washington correspondent OF
the 81. Louis Globe Democrat says that
Senator Cullom has a letter from Sena-
tor Edmunds instructing him to ar
range for his (EdmundsO pair on the
final vote on the tariff bill only in
case the conference report provided
bounty on maple as well as cane sugar.
There is devotion to ones constituency
for you'll Had General Grout taken
that stand, the house would have given
the bounty before the bill went to the
senate.
THE appointment of judge of the
United States supreme court to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Miller devolves upon the president.
Senator Edmunds' name has often
been coupled with honors of this kind.
President Harrison has come to Yer
mont for official timber, and has found
the C.ten Mountain production sound
and well grown. 1t would not be
strange if he should now turn to this
market for supreme court judge. No
state can furnish better man for the
vacant office. If Senator Edmunds
should be called to the supreme bench,
and should resign during the session of
the legislature, an intensely interesting
contest would come before the general
assembly. The presence here of Sec
rotary Proctor and Judge Powers adds
interest to political speculations.

THE stocking of the streams and
ponds of the state with the best varie-
ties of fish is popular subject for talk,
but that is about as far as it has gone.
The fish commissioners, with their
limited facilities, have not been able to
do what they are more than anxious to
do. If it is generally admitted that it
would be good thing to have trout and
other fish in abundance, what is the
reason that no step is taken toward a
state hatchery? Perhaps this is one OF
the matters that is everybody's business,
and so is nobody's. If the hatchery is
championed earnestly, it will become a
fact. There are many things to be said
for it, and not the least worthy of con-
sideration is that summer visitors are
attracted very strongly by good fishing
Vermont is an ideal state for the fisher
man, for the flies and mosquitoes OF
Maine and New York are not found
here. The streams are cool and pure
although befouled by sewage, ETC., al
some of the larger places. The legisla
ture could do many things less reason
able than establishing hatchery.

as follows: Be it resolved, etc, That
whenever it shall appear by filing of such

eral control, and to him more than any
other man probably England owed her
victory. Sir Francis Drake was high in
command and did much to inspire other
seamen with courage, but there is still an
unsettled question as to his conduct in the
crisis of fighting. Lord Charles Howard,
of Efingham, was lord admiral, and Gov
cred himself all over with glory in the bat
ties. He chose as his four advisers Sir
Francis Drake and Capts. John Hawkins,
Martin Frobisher and John Fenner. How
familiar the first and third names sound in
American history. Lord Henry Seymour
and Sir William Wynter also won lasting
fame in the struggle.
The entire British feet consisted of 1917
vessels, from pinnace and 0coasting craft
up to the Ark Royal, the flagship, of 800

the largest of the Spaniards, but in arma-
ment and rapidity of action far superior.
The Ark Royal, for instance, carried 4 60

What Kind of Coal is 1t ?

Under the above query the Pierre Free
Press says:
Mr.. Pattison, president of the Pierre Coal
Mining and Transportation company, has
had several tests made of the coal that is
soon to be shipped here down the river
from North Dakota. Following is what
one of the most expert handlers of this
coal in the northwest says: First, the
shrinkage in weight in evaporation on
this Ignite coal is from 8 to 10 per cent,
The per centage of such loss for every
thirty days depends greatly upon how it is
stored. If stored in closely built sheds the
shrlnkage by evaporation is as follows:
First thirty days, s and 6 per cent; second
thirty days, [ to 2 per cent, and the
third thirty days, l per cent. and less.
If placed in open sheds where currents of
air may freely circulate, nearly the entire
shrinkage by evaporation will occur inside
5Of forty days.
An expert engineer in a steam mill has
furnished him the following statement:
First, Ignite coal does not lose in heat
producing qualities by storage.
Second, q car Of it stored for from sixty
to ninety days, and used dry, furnishes
more heat producing power than the same
car of coal would do used direct from the
mines.
Third, they do not wet down the coal be-
fore using it, preferring it dry.
Fourth, the fire CRATES under the boilers
are the same as used for wood.

In Favor of Bonding,

EDITOR TRIBUNE: You struck the key
note when you ask hadn't something
ought to be done looking to the bonding
OF Burleigh county" All your other
questions are suggestive and pertinent.
How much longer, 1 wonder, will a pa
tient community and tax ridden people
have to stand this sort of thing-simply
wasting and throwing away money.
The banks here hold thousands of dollars
of county bonds, yet the treasurer makes
no call for warrants, which should be paid
and thus stop the interest. What business
man would pay interest when he had money
in his safe and no use for it? Who
could do business that way and prosper.
No wonder the county is in such bad con-
ditiOn.
Do the banks pay any interest on the
money? If not, why? If they do, who gets
it? Your medicine is the proper remedy,
viz: "Bond the whole Indebtedness" then
start in with a clean sheet and pay cash.
TAXPAYER.

ball with a shot at the Spanish flagship.
To any seaman of experience the event was
determined as soon as the relative action
was seen; the English ships sailed twice as

choose it. The Spaniards suffered severe
ly, and got two ships disabled that night
by collision.
On Monday there was occasional fighting
all day, with more loss to the Spaniards.
On Tuesday the wind favored them, and
they attempted to close and board, but the
English marksmen shot the galley slaves
from their benches and defeated that
scheme. This was Frobisher's day of tri-
umph. Then the Spaniards turned and
sailed up the channel, and from every port

Mandan Pioneer: Senator Pierce has 8

Mandan Pioneer: Senator Pierce has a
national reputation, and that reputation is
growing with the leaders of the republi-
can party in the nation. There is much
that North Dakota will need in the next
six years, and it needs a man with the ex-
perience and strength possessed by Sena-
tor Pierce to aid in the work of securing
our rights. There is no man more closely
identified with the state and it seems to
the Pioneer that when the legislature
meets, it will be failing in its duty if it
does not elect him senator with the same
expedition and unanimity that character
lied his election at the early part of this
year.

quires a deed and section 70 implies that

The Good People Of Glendale Are
Considerably Excited Over the
Nutting-Mills Affair.
A Telegram From Boston States That
the Rev. Mr.. Nutting Has
Another Wife.
S. A. Jones, a Black Hills Man, in
the City, Looking for a
Stolen Horse.
The Nutting-MiIls Scandal,

Glendale seems to be all torn up over
and Miss Alice Mills. The affair Is a sweet
morsel for gossippers and they seem to be
using it as industriously as a school girl
does tutti fruitti. They can not ascertain
where the marriage license was procured.
or whether they have any at all. The
couple left Glendale, stating that they
would be married at Lisbon. When Miss
Mills arrived at Lisbon she took rooms at
the Horton house, but Mr.. Nutting went to
Jamestown and it was three days before he
put in an appearance at Lisbon. They in
formed the landlord that they were hus-
band and wife, but for business reasons
wished the fact to be kept a secret.
They were assigned separate rooms in
the hotel, and, although they were strang-
ers in that city, their conduct soon created
scandal. Parties in Glendale, who had
known Mr.. Nutting for some time, stated
that he had a wife in New England and
that he was not at liberty to marry. The
fore their departure from Glendale gave
rise to serious discussions, but it was ex-
planned by their friends on the ground
that they were lovers and about to be mar
ried. The church people of that city say
that it will be necessary to depose Miss
Mills from membership in the Presby.
terrain church. The scandal will also de-
stroy the minister's hitherto good reputa.
ton.
The following telegram from Boston
will, if true, make a serious sequel
to the affair:
BOSTON, Sept. 25.-The reported mar
rage recently of the Rev. W.. w. Nutting

last year and boarded with his wife and
daughter on Poplar street in the East end.
He kept indoors a great part of the time
and claimed to be engaged in writing a
book. Mrs. Nutting was not seen much
by the other people in the house, but they
speak in high terms of her and her daugh.
ter. Last spring they all took their de.
