bORGuLARS CAPTURED IN l.. f. MAYO's STORE
Burglars entered the store Of l.. T.. MAYO.
formerly occupied by l. b. Warner, about
IL O'Clock on Wednesday morning. En-.
trance was gained by breaking the glass in
the show windows The smashing of glass
awakened A. II. Sabin who, looking out of
his window, saw two men crawling through
the window. He at once dressed and went
and notified Sheriff +. g. Rand, who in
company with A. T. Pierce, clerk of Mr.
Mayo, viii Richardson and Chas. Moultrope
clerks of Mr.. Rand, surrounded the building
and demanded the burglars surrender.
Their escape was impossible and they were
seized and handcuffed and held until morn
ing when they we're taken before the Justice
aud bound over to county court in Septem-
Der. One of them gave his name as Pow
ers from Carlos, Maine. while the other re-
fused to give his name Burglars have
committed several offences here during the
past few years. We are glad Of the cap
ture of these criminals and hope that it
will put an end to the depredatuns Much
credit is due Sheriff Rand for his prompt
ness also TO his assistants.
One of the burglars captured Tuesday
night proves to be johnny Mack who has
been the party suspected in all the petty
burglaries here during the past few years
lie stoutly denied that his name was Mack,
but too many here recognized him, and he
finally owned up to his sister that he was
the same Johnny who ran away some years
ago. Much sympathy is expressed for his
relatives here, all Of whom are respected
and honorable people.

MERRIAM,s MISTAKE.

What an exhibition of foolhardv
courage it was when Gov. MERRIAM
opened his canvass with personal as
sault on his Democratic competitor.
The boy who was so infatuated with the
whirling motion of the buzz saw that
he mistook it for harmless piece of
machinery, and lost hand as the pen
atty of his folly, was wise fellow in
comparison with the man who provokes
Judge WILSON into a personal discus
sion. The wasp end Of Judge WILSON'S
tongue is never used on an opponent
unless provoked, but when it starts in
on its work it does terrible execution.
A statesman of Judge WILSON'S abili-
ties always prefers to confine his
speeches to discussions of public issues.
He has been conducting the present
campaign on that line until his indis-
Greet young Republican opponent
opened up the fioodgate of personal
abuse and vituperation Oh him in his
Crookston speech. Then 1t was the
judges turn to strike back. and the
way he will warm MERRIAM's jacket
from this until the end of the campaign
will be a caution. Vulnerable candi-
dates should always be careful about
inviting the shafts of the opposition.
Gov. MERRIAM has already discovered
that he woke up the wrong passenger.

GROWING TRAFFIC..

Most farmers are familiar with the
fact that the greater portion of the i'm
plements they buy are sold to their
competitors in the production of bread.
stuffS in other lands at figures from 20
to 60 per cent below the cost to them.
The fact has been established that the
articles are identical and not inferior,
as some have pretended. 1t appears
from recent figures that this is rapidly
growing traffic. The exports of agri-
cultural implements this year to the
1st of September were S3.6l5, 743, an IN
crease of sS7S. 1852 over the same months
in 1889. 1t is not to be supposed that
these manufacturers send their i'm
plements abroad into the markets of the
world and sell tfrem without satisfac-
tory profit. The tariff system supported
by the representatives sent to congress
by the farmers of this state, is one of
the chief agencies in making it possible
to sell cheaper abroad than at home. 1t
allows rebate of almost the entire duty
OH raw materials that enter into the
structures when the implements are
sent abroad. This is stated to be the
fact in the case of sailed meats. The
MCKINLEY act imposes duty of IL
cents per hundred OH salt in bags, or s
cents in bulk, with rebate of SO per
cent if the meat is exported. The big
packers at Chicago can sell their meats
in London cheaper than they do in Chi
cago. The tariff has queer way of
showing that it is destined to benefit the
people in this country rather than those
in other lands

does not indulge in the luXurieS of
JONES OH the hill, but. as far as the
luxuries of life are concerned, he pays
in the ratio Of S. to 81 paid by the
millionaire bachelor. Is there any dis
elimination in this in favor of labor?
Does not the system in vogue force out
of the toll of industry the revenues of
the government, leaving the capital UNI
touched? The contrast may be carried
further under this MCKINLEY law.
JONES is allowed to import his dia-
m0ndS in the raw free of duty, and the
works of art that fill his spacious par
lOrs pay but 10 per cent duty. SMITH uses
tinware, hardware and crockery for his
decorating. On these the duties have
been raised very largely and he will
have to make dilapidated and leaky
utensils do longer service because he is
unable to buy now. He was hoping to
be able to put in storm windows on the
more exposed side this winter, but the
higher tariff has enabled the trust to
perfect their organization, and put up
prices beyond the reach of the small
means of SMITH. He finds that the
prices are being advanced in much
larger ratio upon all the clothing he has
been able to buy than upon the costly
apparel of JONES: The discrimination
in favor of the men who have much,
and against the laborer with his little,
runs through this system. Still SMITH
is expected to swing his 130-per- cent
/. taxed hat when the party orators tell
him this high tariff is sin the interest of

somely. This indicates that there has
been steady migration from the
Canada side, in spite of the at
tempts over there to disparage
the United States neighborhood with
the farmers. Perhaps the most
serious cause of the check in growth
has been the Juror to migrate toward
the Pacific that has now abated. Peo-
pie were disappointed if they did not
make several hundred per cent on their
investment each year. and many of
these migrants are likely to again be-
come citizens of North Dakota. The
wheat in the Red river valley has re-
gained its early luxuriance, and new
era is indicated for that section. The
movement to encourage migration by
a presentation of the present facts is
timely, and can but be productive of
considerable results if energeticaliy
prosecuted.l The best advertisement
that could be made of the intelligence
and sagacity OF the people would be to
send men to Washington who represent
the. prevalent sentiment of the agri-
cultural communities, and the needs of
their own people.

REPUBLICAN STOCK.

1t is probable that many Republicans
are missing opportunities to have their
names enrolled in a list of holders of
preferred stock when party rewards are
to be dispensed. Lamentation comes
from Washington that the West is call
ing for few of those beautifully en-
graved certificates empowering the
holder to pay the Republican national
committee $40 each year. A published
letter from the treasury department in
Inmates that the number of these to each
locality is limited. This is in view of
the further statement that the names
are all put in book in the order re-
ceived and have the preference "when
favors are to be granted" In view of
the alarming situation in Pennsylvania
an immense sum of money is needed.
Many will be expected to take them in
blocks of five. Investors should adj
dress Capt. w. w. DUDLEY or Mr..

THE PARDONING POWER.

The pardoning power invested in the
governor by the constitution has been
exercised quite freely within the last
few years, as will be seen from the
list of pardOned coDvictS published in
another column. We are not among
those who think it grievous fault to
lean toward mercy's side, nor are we
partisan enough to question the honesty
of Gov. MERRIAM's motives in granting
these pardons. The single criticism we
have to make is that all information re-
speeding these pardons has been care
fully withheld from the public. The
pardon of a criminal who has been reg
ularly convicted is something in which
all classes OF society are interested, and
every one has right to know the rea-
SONS for granting the pardon. The laws
under which criminals are convicted
are made for the protection of So
ciety, and in investing the governor
with the pardoning power the consti-
tuition only contemplated that it
should be exercised with the utmost
discretion and solely in the interest Of
good government. To have the SEN
fences of the courts and the verdictS of
JurieS overthrOwn in fiftythree cases
by the exercise of the one-man power in
the short term of two years will natu-
rally suggest an inquiry among the
people whether or not there should be
some additional limitations placed upon
the pardoning power. In some states
there is pardoning board. who are re-
auired to investigate all cases where a
pardon is applied for, and the governor
can only act upon the recommendation
of that board. There are some objec-
lions to this plan, it is true, but 1t is
better than such an lndlscriminate use
of the pardoning power as we have had
within the last two years.

HOW Is THIS. sENA TOR :?

Senator PETTIGREw has been telling
tales out of school. He aYailed the OBJ
portunity afforded by press interview
the other day to explain how it was he
came to vote against the conference re-
port on the MCKINLEY bill, and accord
ing 10 his statement the two Minnesota
senators funked On free binding Irvine
when the crucial hour arrived.
There were nine Republican senators
who entered into compact to either OBJ
tain free binding Irvine OF vote against
the conference report. They had the
power to defeat any tariff legislation that
was not acceptable to them, and if they
had held together they would have COM
PEELED the Republican majority to put
binding Irvine On the free list, or have
secured any other benefit to their West
ern constituency. The coterie included
PLUMB, INGALLS,. DAVIS, WAsHBURN,
MOODY, PETTIGREw, CASEY, POWER
and PADDOCK. When it came to vote,
however, six of the nine fiunked, Ieav-
ing PLUMB, PADDOCK and PETTIGREw
as the only three who had the moral
courage to stand by their convictions.
Senator PETTIGREw is so much out
ragged by the desertion of his comrades
that he INDUCES in some reflections
upon the low state of morals prevailing
in the senate, and his words are so plain
and pointed that he would undoubtedly
be brought up before the bar of the SEN
ate for contempt if he had spoken in
open session. In plain English he says
that the average Republican senator is
smoother liar than Dakota Indian.
Speaking on this pointhe says: Truth
fulness is the very basis and measure
of manhood among savage tribes. An
Indian never lies, but as civilization
steals over people they invent various
methods of deceit and obtain high de-
gree of refinement in lying. 1t has
pretty nearly become an exact science
among us now, and so civilization, it
would seem, has about reached its eli
max"
AS Senator DAVIS is now on the
stump it will be in order for him to ex-
plain to the farmers as he goes along
what Influenced him to desert PLUMB.
PADDOCK and PETTIGREw when they
had it within their power to-down the
Irvine trust. The reduction on the Irvine
tax gives no relief to the farmers. The
Irvine makers receive the benefit from
it. because the raw material will cost
them less, while they will continue to
sell twIne at the old prices. AS long as
the twine making industry is projected.
without regard to whether the duty is
fixed at mill OF 40 mills. the twine
trust will continue to have monopoly
of the business, and the farmers will be
robbed under the new law just as they
were under the old.
