A POEM was telegraphed to Hon. WA
Clark from Butte, Mont. last week, after
the democratic success in the municipal
election, and by Vance read in the United
States senate and sent broadcast through
the land by the Associated Press. The
poem was signed McDermott, but the
ear marks of Editor Quinn's trenchant
wit and poetical satire are plainly appar.
ent to all of MI. Quinn's old-time Dakota
friends who have read and enjoyed his
writings in the Bismarck TRIBUNE for SO
many years. Mr.. Quinn has probably
made McDermott famous, as he has
made fame for hundreds IN like manner
heretofore, while the author himself has
seldom received that reward or recogni.
ton which true merit deserves. Mr.
Quinn is now on the staff of the Daily
Miner at Butte, Mont, and doing good
work, It is hoped he is in a field that
will appreciate his work.

The Iowa legislature adjourned sine
die on Tuesday. Among the important
bills passed was one reducing the legal
rate of interest on private contracts from
10 to 8 per cent; rate of interest on
school fund from 8 to 6 per cent; making
the term of county auditor now in Office
three years in order to bring the election
of auditor in a different year from that of
the treasurer; amending the pharmacy
law SO as to make it less stringent for
druggists; a school book bill which per-
mits districts to purchase books and sell
them at cost to pupils and allow oil
counties to vote on the uniformity of
books, and a law for the punishment of
pools, trusts, combinations and conspir-
acies similar to the North Dakota law;
also a similar law to protect laborers in
their claims for wages. There appears
to have been no railroad legislation of
much Importance.

In referring to the complaints of a
Nelson county farmer regarding 81 seed
wheat and of the existence of shylocks
who ask 40 per cent. a month bonus and
IL per cent. interest,"" the Grand Forks
Plaindealer says: "But what disgusts
and angers the farmers more than my
thing else is that some persons have de-
liberately set to work to rob them under
the guise of charity. A steal in the
name of charity is the most abominable
kind of a steal. We are 10th to believe
that the aspersions which he casts upon
the state seed wheat commission are de.
served, but we do believe that the farm
ers should be able to purchase their seed
wheat at the ruling market price without
an extra charge being tackled on because
of their necessities"

JOHN INK, appointed boiler inspector
for the Fourth district, is a brother of
Representative Ink and, according to the
papers in his district is looking around
for some guide book to enlighten him on
the manner of procedure in the inspec-
ton of steam boilers. The legislature
supposed they had provided in the act
that inspectors should have other than
political qualifications, but it seems not.
But then the governor is hardly to blame.
He cannot know all his appointees per-
sonally and has to depend more or less
on the endorsements of others. Inks
brother was a member of the legislature.

~tisement-and thus causing the sale of
lottery tickets-a proper person to quote
as authority on the immortality of lotteries?
If the devil were to appear on earth as an
%expounder OF Christianity, would not these
scissoring editors, before they accepted his
leadership and printed his sermons, at
least insist that he hide his cloven feet and
manifest penitence for his wicked rebel
lion? Jordan, Of the Fargo Republican,
went to Bismarck and at first advocated
the passage of the lottery bill. He asked
certain Legislators to vote for it. Then,
finding it would not pass over the veto, he
went home and began a course of virulent
abuse of those representatives who were
faithful to the end. Why will respectable
country editors aid in circulating the Opin.
ions of such a man and such a paper?

TUESDAY was a general municipal cleo
ton day in illinois, with a license and
no license issue in most of the towns and
cities. The larger cities seem to have
gone mostly in favor of license, while in
some of the smaller municipalities no
license gained some new victories. In
Joliet it was a democratic sweep with
but two exceptions. The council stands
ten to two in favor of a $1,000 license.
Elgin, Decatur, Aurora. and many other
prominent towns voted license, and the
list of no license towns is by no means
meagre. The license question generally
took the place of politics.

5 per cent. of all moneys paid in for the
sale of public lands in the new states, be-
fore they were admitted into the Union.
It is thought that a compromise to allow
one-half the amount, would prevail,

The house bill dividing North Dakota

The house bill dividing North Dakota
into four districts and providing for the
holding of United States courts at Far
co., Bismarck, Grand Forks and Devils
Lake, was called up by Mr.. Mason of
Iowa from the committee on judiciary
and passed the senate Wednesday, with
slight amendments. This bill is in con-
formity with the new policy which has
been adopted by congress at the sugges-
ton, it is said, of Senator Edmunds.
Minnesota is to be divided into six dis
tricts and other states in a similar man
ner. The argument in favor of this poll
cy is that it brings the courts nearer to
the people, lessons the expense and adds
to the convenience of the court and liti-
giants. The pay Of a juror in the United
States is but so per diem and mileage at
the rate of five cents q mile, while wit
nesses receive but $1.50 per day. This
is hardly q sufficient sum to meet the &C.
tual expenses of court attendants. Add
to this the Inconvenience Of jurors and
witnesses in absenting themselves from
their business for q period of three to
six weeks at a time and argument in ia
vor of the new policy is presented. It
would seem, however, that in q state SO
sparsely settled az North Dakota, two
districts would have been ample for the
present. -Four terms and four districts
will keep the court on the 60 all the
time, which will hardly be as profitable
az the present scheme of two terms.
