Our attention has been called to the
umerou bogus books that are adyertis-
ed and sold on subscription purporting
to give the history of SANKEY'S recent
adventures in Africa. None of these
bogus books are written by Stanley. In
fact SANKEY'S genuine book is not yet
written, and no living man in America
knows enough of its contents to issue a
prospectus. The genuine Stanley book
will be written by Henry NJ. Stanley
himself; will be emitted "In Darkest
Africa" and will bear on tie title page
the imprint of "Charles Scribner's
Sons" All else are bogus and fraudu-
lent, no matter by whom sold or advert

Tom Sutton was the last Deadwood
saloon keeper to close his place which
was on Monday, having exhausted his
stock Of booze. We are told his place
wal crowded continually and at times
it was half an hour before a man could
get to the bar. His net earnings were
$4,000 in five days. He was repeatedly
notified to close by the authorities but
gave bonds and continued business just
the same. Sutton was the last dealer
to close his place at Dubuque, Iowa,
when the ~prohibitory law went into
effect there, continuing business several
weeks, and taking in many thousand
dollars. Four saloons have been re-
opened in Deadwood this week-Sen-

favor of an extension of the Louisiana
lottery company's franchise. He said
that before the lottery company was char
tered the average rate of interest was ten
per cent; o money could frequently be
had at three per cent. The rate here was
lower than any city in the country. This
was due to the fact that the lottery COM
pany has always on deposit a large
amount of money. This enabled the
manufacturers and merchants to extend
their operations. The beneficial effect
was felt in every channel of trade.

SPECIAL f.

The bill providing for the publication
of the laws in the newspapers of the
state failed to pass-for what reason
those who voted against the measure can
best explain to their constituents. The
TRIBUNE has already published sixty of
the laws and will continue to publish the
balance from time to time. In addition
to this the experiment of publishing a
cheap pamphlet edition of the general
laws has been decided upon, to be known
as the popular Edition of the Session
Laws"-price so cents. This edition
will be issued in about two weeks, or as
soon after the governor disposes of the
bills now in his hands---which he can
hold fifteen days---as possible. It is be-
lieved that this experiment will meet
with favor from a large class of business
men and farmers who desire the laws but
who cannot afford, or do not desire to
wait for the more expensive bound edi-
ton. Liberal terms to agents. All or
ders must be accompanied by the money.

AGAIN is the Grand Forks Herald dis
honest in its editorial comments. 1t says
OF the bill temporarily extending the
time for the redemption of property sold
under foreclosure of mortgage that "it
was introduced and engineered by the
lottery crowd" The bill was drawn by
Representative Lutz, who was inspired
by the prospective condition prohibition
will leave his father-in-law on July LIST
next-with a large unsaleable brewery
plant and a heavy debt. Mr.. Lutz
looked around him and saw others in the
same condition. Similar extraordinary
relief measures had been tried success
fully in other states and Mr.. Lutz' mo-
tive in this bill was entirely honest and
unselfsh. The idea of the lottery ques-
ton entering into it is as absurd as the
Herald is dishonest in it's criticisms of
men and measures.

THERE were four bills vetoed---during
the legislature---and only one, the Devils
Lake deaf mute school bill, passed over
the governors disapproval. The other
bills wherein the veto was sustained
we're as follows: Taxing unorganized
counties, first Fargo agricultural college
bill, Grand Forks fair appropriation bill,
and bill creating a board of management
and control for the public institutions.
There may be other bills disapproved
during the fifteen days which the COVER
nor has to consider the measures pre-
sented to him on the last three days of
the session.

The necessity for a different line of
legislation in relation to the liquor trffc
is making it's presence felt among the
leading republicans of Iowa. A state
conference of republicans "who favor a
modification of the liquor laws" has been
arranged for April 2, to be held at the
capital. The call is headed by the name
OF ex'Gov. Kirkwood and signed by
many other prominent republicans. It
makes little difference whose party is on
top, the majority will always suffer when
laws become so oppressive as to convey
to the mind of the voter the impression
that his individual rights are being
trenched upon, no matter how damaging
unrestrained enjoyment of the same may
be to him personally.

The passage of the Walsh e. bill
repealed the law previously passed ex-
tending the time for the payment of 1889
taxes. On the last day of the session an
amendment in the shape of a proviso was
attached to the bill of Senator Dodds,
amending section %, which provides that
this act (the Walsh revenue billy shall
not be construed as repeating the act ex-
tending the time when penalty shall
attach to 1889 delinquent taxes. The
Dodds bill passed and has been approved
and its effect upon the general revenue
bill has been printed in connection with
the complete revenue bill, copies of which
are now being sent out to all county Of
fcials.

Legislative assembly were friendly to the

other to overcome the one-man power
