/ GREAT good should result from the
immigration meeting that convened in
Grand Forks yesterday. For the past
five years the advantages of Dakota, and
particularly those OF the slope, have been
presented to the country in anything but
an energetic manner. This should not
be. The Red river people have not been
as slow as their western neighbors in
this respect. They at least keep statis-
tics of the wheat crop in that Sec
ton before the eyes of the woodland it
counts. The slope has mere resources
than any portion of the state. Her soil
is not a whit less productive than the
Red river country. The climate here
will allow the cultivation of corn-an ad-
vantage not possessed by the eastern
part of the state. The coteaus give the
best pasturage in the world for cattle,
and sheep thrive and double each year,
with scarcely any care OF the part Of the.
owner. But the slopes greatest source
of wealth will be her inexhaustible beds

The suit of the state against the Great
Northern to compel that road to trans
port coal at the rates fixed by what Is
known as the coal rate law, has been de-
cided adversely to the commonwealth on
the ground that the law is repealed by
the general law governing railroads, and
passed at a later date. Decision by
Judge Templeton. This is another ex-
ample Of the folly of sending men to the
legislature for the especial purpose of
making class laws-not for the reason of
their fitness or ability to make good gen.
eral laws; men who looked with suspi-
cion upon any suggestion or amendment
offered by able and experienced legisla-
tors, because they were suspicious and
aware Of their own ignorance. Some Of
the best measures introduced in the last
Legislature were killed for this reason
measures intended to directly benefit the
constituents of these thick.witted law
makers-while Intellectual and cumber-
SOM laws passed with such ease as to
almost raise intelligent members from
their seats with establishment. Send
men to make laws for the whole people.

The jamestown Capital sizes up the
correspondents of eastern dailies about
right. Dakota is full of these amateur
public opinion %moulders," and every
mine spot" with a bee in his bonnet
straightway hunts up q "lever" to hoist
himself into notoriety. These "mould-
ers" attempt to advance the interests OF
men with "ofice itch" by trying to black
en- the records of good men. Dakota
legislatures in the past have been full OF
brainy (O statesmen who never even
found courage to give their vote in audi
BILE tones. When the people find a man
who can obtain recognition on the floor
of Legislative halls, keep him. Newspa-
paper slush will not make a statesman.
The Capital thinks that the Globes bu-
a of misrepresentation is located at
Grand Forks, and says:
One who is unacquainted with North
Dakota politics would be led to believe
from reading the correspondence sent the
st. Paul Globe that democrats are the only
ones who know anything about the repub-
lican politics of this state. The stuff that
is sent the Minneapolis Tribune and Jour-
nal and st. Paul Pioneer Press by repub-
lican scribblers is bad enough to tax the
credulity of the most uns0phisticated, but
that sent by the democratic corresponds

AFTER a thorough review of the Nc
Kinley bill, Judge Rea of Minneapolis,
in a speech last Saturday, closed with
the following reference to the federal
election bill now pending in congress:
'The republican party, with charity for
all, with malice towards none, passed
through one house of congress a bill pro-
tecting American citizens. The demo-
Gratis are pleased to call it the force bill.
Let them. All the battles that have
been fought for human liberty have been
waged with force. Force wrested the
Magma Charta from royalty; force pro-
cured Declaration of Independence; force
founded this nation; force emancipated
the negro; force created the republican
party; force is the leading factor in the
irresistiblel course of history. The re-
publican party found a negro and made
a citizen, it has championed every cause
in the interest of liberty and freedom,
and it is the party that is destined to
mold the future destinies of the repub.

AT Tuesdays republican convention
L. W. Griffin was nominated for county
commissioner for the first district for the
ensuing three years and G. D. Edick was
nominated for assessor. Uncle Tommy
Richards was the opposing candidate
of Mr.. Griffin, but his country friends
failed to materialize and Mr.. Richards
was left. Mr.. Griffin is a good repub-
lican and a heavy taxpayer and will prob
ably get as much Of the party vote as
anyone else who could have been nomi-
mated. It is said that Immediately after
the convention Farmer Richards supplied
himself with a knife and is now taking
lessons from Uncle Watson, who, being
disappointed in the nomination for sher-
if, pulled his knife and has since become
quite an expert. Thus it goes. That
Burleigh county politics-Burleigh coun-
ty republicanism for you. When is this
business going to cease? It was hoped
that with statehood would come better
politics and straighter politicians; but
the hope has not been realized. But
there is another day coming-a day of
reckoning and a day of reward. "By
their acts ye shall know them"

OONLY a little oyer one week to elece
ton day-November 4th. The candi-
dates must be up and doing from now
on. If disaffection exists in any quarter,
let it be ascertained and eradicated if
possible. The republicans can elect
every man on their ticket in this county
if active during the next two weeks.
Thorough organization in every precinct
is necessary. Threats will not make
votes. Arguments and persuasion are
necessary. Let it be shown that the at
tempt is being made to honestly and
fairly place the government of this coun-
ty into the hands of the republicans
where it belongs. Let it be shown that a
vote for the republican legislative ticket
is not only a vote for good, honest men,
but for men who can and will assist in
electing a republican United States SEN
ator. Let it be understood that a vote
against the republican nominees is a vote
against Senator Pierce. Let it be under
stood that the entire republican county
ticket is composed of good men and not
meriting the knife of treachery. Let it
be understood that on the vote for con-
gresham and on the vote for members
of the legislature will be based the next
apportionment. The greater the vote the
greater the representation in next years
conventions. Do not be frightened by
ghosts. Garry the wal into every pre-

bad judgment and personal prejudice
lead a few off after strange gods, the par

their own destruction. The republican
van is on the move Burleigh county

WHILE the republicans of Morton
county endorse Senator Pierce and
would be glad to see him return to Wash
ington, they did not deem it wise to tie
up their Legislative nominees with iron
clad instructions. The arguments used
we're that, while the delegation might be
favorable to Pierce, the field was large
they knew not at this time what compli.
cations might arise-and they desired
their members to be left free to do that
which may seem best for the interests of
Morton oounty-next winter as we'll as
now. It was thought that instructions
of this kind might handicap the candi-
dates-especially among certain ele-
ments that might be inclined to Messrs.
Hansbrough or Ball or some other can
didate. While the TRIBUNE would be
pleased to see the whole state instructed,
yet it sees the force of the arguments
used by the Morton county republicans
many of them being Senator Pierce's
warmest friends.

ruinous decline of farm products they see

righteous indignation and hurl the whole

ANOTHER prop is knocked from under
the democrats. The ball of reciprocity
has been set in motion, and it will keep
rolling until there will be nothing to sus-
tain them. Canada has been the first to
take advantage of Blaine's idea, and her
government has by proclamation taken
off the export duties on certain kinds of
lumber, thus securing the admission of
sawed pine lumber into the United States
at the rate of 81 per thousand. This
means cheap lumber to every farmer in
the northwest and a knockout argument
to the democratic politicians who have
been afraid that the new tariff might
prove of some benefit to the farmer and
laborer. Their only interest in the con-
dition Of either has been for votes, but
the worker is onto them and don't care
to swap horses just at present. Recip-
rocity means more than these mud push
ers with a No. 10 mouth, a No. 6 hat and
a two-ounce BRAIN ever dreamed of.

The result Of the election in Wiscon-
sin and Illinois this fall will be watched
with great interest by every American.
The democrats in Wisconsin, to gain the
votes of foreigners, have stirred up this
element against the Bennett law, and i'll
stead of victory they will suffer defeat.
Even the Chicago Herald, one of the
most influential organs of the DEM
ocracy, denounces the democratic leaders
in Wisconsin for attempting to ride into
Office on appeals to race prejudice, and
says:
The Bennett law has been misrepre-
scented by every democrat in Wisconsin
who has been seized with the itch for Of
flee. 1t is not an oppressive law. 1t was
adopted by the votes of democrats and re-
publicans. 1t is opposed only by people
intend to become Americans. Opposition
to it m from foreign know n%uthings-
political, journalistic and religious. 1t is a
proper manifestation of the power and
authority of an American state and it can
give OtfenSe to no II whose heart is not
still welded to some foreign prince or
potentate. 1t can be attacked only by
faIsehood' 1t * has been a 4 c No as only by
worthy of the name can indorse by his vote
the disgraceful surrender that the foreign
inspired Milwaukee hlalherskites now ask
the party to make. No party car afford to
win in such a fight as that which the Wis
consin democrats are now waging. Defeat
now will be a warning to demagOgues and
revolutionists elsewhere that they will not
fail to heed. Victory now and the people
of every state in the union must confront
the same issue, for d~emagogues are not
confined to one city Or to one state. This
is America. The public schools are not
to be destroyed either by direct assault or
by roundabout methods. The sovereignty
Of the state is not to be limited either by q
race or a church. The political leader who
imagines that the American people can be
frightened or bullied or cajoled into a sur
render such as these Milwaukee knaves
propose is a fool and no democrat.
In Illinois the same tactics have been
adopted by the democrats, and the CHI
cago News exho1ts every American to
drop party issues and stand by the school
house. It scores the democracy of ILL
nois for bidding for the support of ignor-
ance, %selfshness and ~disloyalty to Ameri-
can institutions, and accuses it of max
ing the following plea to these elements:
"Come and help us defeat the repub-
Leans and you may raze the schoolhouses
OF Illinois to the ground. The less the
people know, the less they can read and
write and think in the English language,
the better for you, the better for us. Let
us lick the enemy first and share in the
spoils afterward. You take the schools.
we will be content with the Offices"

The supreme court has declared the
state banking law constitutional. The
opinion is by Judge Wallin, the syllabus
being as follows:
Section q, of chapter %. laws of North
Dorth Dakota, 1890, entitled IAN act to
provide for the organization and govern
mtnI of state banks" which prohibits all
persons from doing a banking business i'll
this state, except corporations which are
organized under said chapter, examined
and held to be constitutional. Said section
does not contravene either section l or ar
tlcle l of the 18th amendment to the feder-
al constitution.
Said section 81 is upheld as a proper ex-
ercise by the legislature OF that branch OF
the internal police power of the state
which relates to the public safety.
Held further that said section q is not a
violation Of section 81 of the state consti-
tuition which provides that no bill shall
embrace more than one subject, which
shall be embraced in its title, but a bill
which violates this provision shall be in
validated thereby only as to so much
thereof as shall be expressed.

No States Land.

Island No. "A, on the Mississippi, has an
owner, but belongs to no state, county or
township. From q paper read before the
Engineers club of this city it appears that
according to the enactment whereby the
states Of Arkansas and Mississippi were
created, the river boundary Of the former
extends to mid-stream, that of the latter to
mid-channel. Herein is the difficulty. A
dissipated freshet turned the current
against the Mississippi bank, and shifted
the former position Of m%id-channel many
rods to the eastward, so that the fortunate
or unfortunate owner found his possessions
beyond both the mid-river point of Arkan-
sas and the mid-channel line Of Mississippi.

THE recent immigration convention at
Grand Forks will probably result in a
concerted action on the part of all the
counties in the state, setting forth the
advantages to settlers. The railroads
will assist and it is believed that a large

North Dakota makes a very creditable
showing this year all around.
