RAIN GALORE.

Sunday afternoon and night
Griggs county was favored with a
downpour of rain that was a JOY tc
behold For an hour after the first
shower that came along the water
stood on the fields like miniature
lakes. 1t was magnificent rain
and the crop prospect is, of course,
very materially improved. At the
present writing better stand of grain
could not be desired. 1t is simply
fine. Healthy and vigorous is the
plant while it is stooling out big, and
unless all signs fail Griggs county
is to be rewarded with a crop this
year-and she needs it. Not only
is the grain crop prospect frightened
but also the hay crop. Grass is
growing right along and a good hay
harvest is promised. One more
good soaking rain at the end O
June and the Griggs county croI
will pull through all right, and we
predict we shall get it.

The state press is busy at present
discussing which is the best time for
holding the state convention. Some
favor August while others favor the
latter end Of July" The Courier
chips in here and sides with those in
favor of the latter part of July. The
farmer element wants to be repre-
sented in this convention and the
only available time that they will
have will be about that time. From
now on until the end of
July the farmers have their
hands full haying, plowing, ETC., and
after the first week in August comes
harvest, then they certainly cannot
leave their binders to attend a con-
vention-there is too much at stake.
The necessity for the benefit of the
granger element for holding the state
convention before harvest must GER
tainly strike the state committee for
cibly and we hope that it will act
accordingly. The farmers are GER
tainly entitled to a big share of re-
presentation in this convention and
should have It. Let it be the last
week in July.

If there is one thing that causes
our superior nature to rise up in re-

other peoples horses, ETC., come
around and chew off the bark and
young shoots and mutilate the trees

run with trees that these people who
let their horses run atlarge with such
reckless abandon think it is real
smart if said horses spoil all the trees
in the village. Right here we would

DOUBTS ABOUT POPULATION.

Commissioner Porter afiirms, according TO
Washington dispatches. that the population Of
the CnAed States, as enumerated by his
subordinates. amounts to only Sixty-fOur
millions. But this shows an increase Of
less than 80 per cent during the last decade.
TO those who give little attention to the
sources of increase this may not seem sur
prisng. but reflection suffces to indicate that
the result means something not very en-
couragng.
The immigration within the last ten years
has been more than half the entire immigra-
ton during the last thirty years; that is, from
1860 to 1880 the immigration had been
5.191.977 but from 1880 to 1890 it has been
5.242.529 Nor is this all, for the suppression
Of all records of immigration across the Ca
madam border during the greater part of the
last decade has made il certain that the re-
ported arrivals are considerably fewer than the
actual number The fact is that Canadian
statesmen speak with great feeling of the heavy
loss of Canada by migration to this country,
and in one year that movement was officially
reported as about 1O0,00 With the remain
ing immigration greater in ten years than il
had ever been in any previous twenty years, it
might reasonably be supposed that the country

The other source of increase is the excess

namely. that the coored and the foreign-borh

tbn number of deaths to each 1000 OF pop

enormous immigration.
Instead of this Mr.. Porter's figures would IN

was 2.45 per cent yearly from 1880 to lofo,

GERMAN SOCIALISTS At SWORDS POINTS,.


At the end Of next month the Antl-SoclaliSt
laws of the German Empire will cease to be
in force. Enacted for limited period during
the popular excitement that prevailed at the
time of the Socialist attempt TO assassinate the
old Emperor twelve years ago, they have been
retained in vigor ever since at the instance OF
Prince Bismarck, who alleged that it was i'm
uossible 10 maintain order in Germany without
them. He experienced however, great diff

Reichstae. as they were felt by that body and
by the people at large to be unnecessarily harsh
and tvrannical. and altogether out of keeping
with an enlightened civilization Emperor
William II showed that he recognized the force
of this argument when, few days after the
resignation of the Prince Chancellor, he an
nounccd that no steps would be taken by the
Government TO obtain their re-enactment when
they expire this fall, and that the authorities
had received instructions to discontinue their
enforcement.
By thus removing the ban of outavry which
has hitherto hung over the head of every per-
son protesting Socialist doctrines in Germany
the Emperor has conciliated public opinion, and
has in addition achieved thereby, so far as
present appearances go, more than ever Prince
Bismarck succeeded in doing toward the de-
structon of the movement. For he has de-

The result on this basis would be only
14o5Oo less than Mr.. Porter's estimate, which
in turn would be 462 900 less than the pop
ulation computed in the same way if the ex-
cess of births over deaths were 16 per cent
YEARLY. So great a change in the rate OF births
or of deaths per 100 will seem to statlStIcianS
impossible, in view of what is known of the
public health and prosperity And yet the
alternative is 10 believe that the census OF
1890 has proved untustworthy, or else that
the census of 1881 represented the pop
ula,ion az much greater than 1t actually
was. All are aware that President Walker
census was great failure in other respects,

ton of the people has been generally accepted
hitherto. notwithstanding some indications APP

south.
