TIE Edgerly Mail expounds upon
some facts that cannot be successful
ly contradicted when it says that the
lottery discussion has just aroused
North Dakota to the fact that it has
been used as a tail to the kite of the
st. Paul and Minneapolis press. 1t
has just discovered its dependence
upon the Twin City newspapers for
its daily political inspiration. When
the Legislature is in session at Bis.
marck we look to see it's politics
reflected through these papers.
When it is not in session we are sat.
isfed to have them manufacture our
politics for us. 1t is not necessary to
point out that this is to the pecuniary
advantage of these papers, and pro-
p0rtionately to the disadvantage of
the North Dakota press. There is not
the slightest a why we should
be SO dependent. If the support Civ.
en- those papers could be transferred
to the state dailies, and the better
class of weeklies, it would soon max,
us Independent of the manufactured
sentiment emanating from our neigh
Dor state. We're it not for this sup
port given to our neighbors both par
ties could boast of representative AMI

The Governor vetoed Senator Law
rence's bill for the taxation of prop
erty in the u%norganized counties for
state purposes the second time. The
Governor makes a mistake in vetoing
this bill, as the citizens of the unor.
gained counties demand more pro-
lection under the laws and are per-
fectly willing to pay Il state tax for
that protection. The veto is based,
presumably, upon legal grounds, but
there is a rumor that the governor
and other state officers who are look
ing for a second term fear that they
cannot control the votes of the ur.
organized counties and with taxation
they would have the right of repre-
s~entation in conventions and the right
to vote at elections. However, it
matters but little whether the mo.
tive of the Governor is for political
or legal reasons, the fact remains
that the bill is a good and just meas.
ure and should become a law and we
believe its legality would stand the
test in the courts.

SPECIAL RIVER BuLLETIN.
The Signal ONCE Furnishes Some Infor.
nation About the Floods.

The Signal ONCE Furnishes Some InfOr-
nation About the Floods.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The signal
Office furnishes the following special
river bulletin: The stage of the river at
Cairo, Ills, is 4s.s feet. The water has
risen half a foot in the past twenty-four
hours and one foot in the last four days.
The conditions are favorable for a fur
ther rise. Within the next five days the
river will approximate the highest
known water, 52.2 feet. At Cincinnati,
in the tw~enty-four hours past, there mas
been a rise of z feet; at st. Louis l foot.
There has been a fall of s feet at Chatta-
nooga and l foot at Nashville. The
rainfall in the past four days has been
3.2 inches at Louisville and Fort Smith,
"a Inches at Indianapolis, and about is
inches at Little Rock, Memphis, Wick
burg, Shreveport, Cincinnati and Column
bus, Ohio. and 1 inch at st. Louis and
Nashville. The quantity of rain that
has fallen in the drainage area of the
Ohio river in the past four days is esti-
mated to be 4 1-2 cubic miles. Three
cubic miles of this has fallen in the area
between Cincinnati, Chattanooga and
Nashville.
At Vicksburg the stage of the water is
47.4 feet. 1t has risen four-tenths of a
foot in the past tw%enty-four hours. 1t
will probably rise to 40 feet. There has
been an extensive break in the main
leyee at Alsatia, thirty-nine miles above
Vicksburg on the west bank of the river.
The Arkansas at Little Rock has risen
6 1-2 feet in the past t%wenty-four hours.
The rainfall in the Vicksburg drainage
area below Cairo in the past four days
has been two cubic miles. The present
prospects are that the stage Of river
from Cairo to V%icksburg will be one of
the highest known. Without desiring to
create general alarm in the valley of the
lower Mississippi it would seem that the
coming stage of water warrants the ad-
visibility Of timely removal of stock
and such other property as would be de-
stroyed by an extreme flood. Owing to
the lack Of a larger number of rainfall
stations from which to accurately deduce
the entire amount of rainfall, the signal
Office is unable to give more definite in
formation as to the extreme height to be
reached or the date on which it will &C.
cir.

portance. In the house the report Of
the state affairs committee, recommend
ing adjournment March II, was referred
back to the committee until an answer
should be received from the attorney

MIR. Spencer Makes AnOter Lot.
tory Proposition to the
North DakOtaMs.
He Proposes to Pay $4,000 a
Year for a Twenty-Five
Year Franchise.
The House, However, Promptly Re-
fuses to Give the Matter Any
Consideration.

BISMARCK, N. D., March 12.-The lot
terry bill has again been before the North
Dakota legislature and has met its death,
for this session at least. When the seed
wheat commission made its report to the
senate the measure was found snugly en-
sconced therein. The commission re-
ported in substance that they found only
n way in which the necessary seed for
the needy farmers could be secured in
time to be available, and that was by the
acceptance of a proposition made by ex-
Senator George E. Spencer, the agent of
the Louisiana Lottery company. The
proposition of Mr.. Spencer is to the
effect that in consideration of the grant
ing of a franchise to the Louisiana State
Lottery company to transact business in
the state the company agrees to pay into
the treasury IF the state of North Da-
kota the sum of $15O,0OO per annnm for
twenty-five years, as provided by the
terms of said bill, a copy whereof, as
amended, is hereby attached, and in fur
Their consideration of such franchises,
immunities and privileges, to furnish
said committee for.the purpose of distri-
button among the farmers of the state of
North Dakota in accordance with the
spirit and letter of said resolution $780,
600 bushels of good No. / hard
seed wheat, the same to DO furnished and
placed at the disposal of such committee
on or before the 18th day of April, 1890;
that az an evidence of good faith in
making this proposition and of the abil-
ity to care it into effect, the said general
manager of the Louisiana State Lottery
company further agrees to at once de-
posit in any responsible bank or banks,
to be selected by such committee, the
sum of $500, 900, upon the following
terms: Immediately upon said bill be-
coming a law the said $500, 900 shall be
held as security for the due and faithful
performance of this agreement, relative
to the furnishing of said wheat, and in
the event of failure to perform the same,
the same shall be forfeited and the said
committee empowered to use such sum
for the purchase of seed wheat, the same
to be distributed to persons thereto enti-
tied under such resolution, absolutely
and without the right to demand the re-
turn of such wheat or money or any
portion of either.
The report closes by recommending
the acceptance of the proposition. After
the report was read Senator Barlow
moved to lay upon the table. but the mo-
ton was lost by a vote of 18 to II. The
report was then taken to the house and
read. Representative McCormack moved
to refer it to the committee on state af-
fairs, to have printed, etc., bnt a motion
by Representative Stevens to lay it upon
the table was substituted and carried,
and the house adjourned until 1880 p. m.
At the evening session another attempt
was made to bring the matter before the
house, but was voted down. The vote
stood % in favor and 81 against the mo.
ton, eight representatives being absent
or not voting.
