Knox, sixteen years later, did the rest. The
ruins of Dryburgh Abbey show that the
walls of the completed edif1ce stood on diff
ferent levels, and that the structure illus
trated at least four different styles of archl-
lecture. This is seen in the massive Ro-
deep-splayed and always impressive Saxon
arch; the pillared and intersected Norman
arch; and the early English pointed arch.
The church was originally in the form OF
cross with short TRANSCRIPTS, and a small but
exquisitely decorated choir, while the in.
terror was divided by light and graceful
colonnades into central space and side
aisles. OF the transepts portion OF but
one, the north, called St. Mary's aisle, Is
still standing; but there is no more
beautiful specimen Of the early gothic to be
found in Scotland than is this, the solemn
and secluded burial place of Scotia's great
est minstrel, the noble author of 'Waverly."
The chapter house, tiny chapel of st.
Modan, Norman arch which formed the
western doorway, are yet standing. A
stately yew. over 800 years old, still stands
upon the lawn. opposite where once the abb
bots sat at their parlor easements, to mock
the huge pile of stone as it crumbles into
the earth.

mists into the sunny copse. The Tweed,
moving in silence for miles above, here
sweeps wide and grandly over cleaning
shadows, and sings its endless song just at
the edge of the abbey. You come to the

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-12-19

IHE TRIBUNE does not publish the de-
tails of the contest cases for tho reason
that it has a little regard for the good
name of the people of this county and
believes that these contests will result in
no good to the community. The details
of the contest cases, if published, would
be misunderstood abroad and the people
whose anne might be brought into.the
cases, no matter in what way, would be
subject to more OF less injury because of
exagerations, insinuations, spite and
groundless charges. As the TRIBUNE
has before said, the recent election was
far from pure in Burleigh county, but
there is little sense in pot calling kettle
black" 1t was a hotly contested battle
and every politician, every citizen knows
what that means in any country. There
is a heap of dirty linen now being washed
and the result will be disastrous to many
whom the republican party has sought
to honor and many who seek honors
through the party. The final settlement
of a contest case is in the legislature and
all the twaddle that IS now being
taken down at great expense
in three or four justice courts will have
little weight or influence with the mem
bers of that body. 1t will be a question
of combinations pure and simple. There
is no use in being sentimental about this
matter. Every practical politician knows
this. The successful contestant, Tho-
ever ne may, he, in order to get his Seat,
must needs pledge himself on nearly
every prominent issue likely to com be-
fore the legislature. He takes his seat
not as q free man, but bound hand and
foot to do certain things. He has no in
dependence and is in a most humiliating
position. Therefore the county he as
sumes to represent is misrepresented,
and he cuts just about as much of a fig
ure in the legislature as a figure 8 with
its tail cut off.

What the TRIBUNE has had to say re-

has nothing whatever to do with the

utter uselessness and damfoolishness of

DAKOTA COAL FOR DAKOTAN,

"a "
Fargo Republican: It is with a great
deal Of pleasure the Republican is ell
abled to announce to-day a new rate on
North Dakota coal which will save hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to resi-
dents of the state. The Northern Pacific
road has fixed a rate which will enable
Dakotans to burn their own fuel and
thereby retain in the state, not only d
large circulating medium, but furnish
employment for hundreds of men at a
season of the year when they would 9TH
erwise be idle. The table below quotes
the rate to principal points ONLY, but the
printed schedule applies pro rata to all
points. A ton of North Dakota coal is
2,lOO pounds, and to arrive at the price
on track at point of destination add
9 cents per ton to the freight charges from
Dickinson, or $1.15 cents per ton from
Sims. The cost per ton on track at Far
go is $3.l5, and the Republican has no
hesitation in saying (after a fair trial. it
is the cheapest fuel in the world for
North Dakotans. Following is the new
rate:

The Grand Forks Plaindealer says
that for the good name of North Dakota,
it is hoped that there will be no Doodle
about Bismarck during the legislature.
OF course that sounds lofty, patriotic
and honest, but a legislature wherein a
United States senator is to BIZ elected,
has not assembled in any state for thirty
years without the presence of money,
and of late years the price has been grad
ually growing higher. AS utterly shame
full as this condition may be, it is the
condition just the same. To hope for
better things in this respect is to hope
in vain.

In speaking of the dissolution of part

North Dakota and South Dakota, the
Sioux Falls Press says: "The copartner-
ship heretofore existing between North
Dakota and South Dakota, under the

of the debts of the firm. This dissolu-
