Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-02-21

The Pioneer Press makes Supreme
Court Reporter Camp of jamestown tell
all about how Governor Miller and At
orney-General Goodwin, and Senator
Winship had urged him to go to the
national capital and lay before the higher
powers the true situation of the lottery
bill, how the powers that be, when they
heard Camps message, got a mighty
move on themselves, how Casey rushed
over to Senator Edmunds to ask that
Haggart's appointment be held up, and
then when Casey heard of the death of
the lottery bill, how he thanked God and
"hurried a mounted messenger to Mr..
Camp with the glad tidings," e~tcetera,
etcetera, etcetera. It seems too bad that
MI. Camp should have worked the sena.
tor up to such a pitch. According to
Mr.. Camps interview Senator Casey
must have been perfectly Mortified at the
actions of his friends in North Dakota
since the senatorial fight MI. Camps
nerves we're somewhat quieter when he
reached Jamestown, and his friends be-
lieve that he will speedily recover from
the awful fright the prospective passage
of the lottery bill by the legislature seems
to have given him.

Don't Sit on Your Spinesi

"'We ought to establish in the United States
. school of department for public men, says
Kate Field. "And the first motto I should
hang up over the door would be: Don't sit
on your spiner" 1couldn't help thinking Of
that as I sat in the gallery of the house ef
representatives the day the chief justice de-
livered his grafton. In marched the president
and Mr.. Blaine, followed blythe other secre-
taries, and sat down in the first row Of the
amphitheatre. Satf Yes, sitting is what it is
called. Within five minutes every mothers
son of them, with perhaps one exception, had
slid down so that his body was supported by
his shoulder blades and the small of his back.
b justices Of the supreme court followed,
and down they went in the same way. So
did the rest of the dignitaries, as bevy after
bevy filed in. In contrast with them there
sat the foreign ministers and the delegates to
the two international conferences, as upright
as ramrods. What made the contrast most
disagreeable was the fact that our own great
men were by far the best looking persons on
the floor, as a rule. It seemed a pity that
they should spoil their fine effect by such an
attitude. But it is the common fault of
Americans in public places. Congress habit
ually sits on its four hundred and odd spines
when it isn't making speeches or writing let
tiers. Our magistrates do it on the bench.
Our legislators do it. Everybody does it.

IT seems the Pioneer Press once had q
lottery scheme of its own in which the
chances for drawing a prize we're even
less than has been figured for the Louis
lana company, The Fargo Republican
gives the particulars as follows:
The biggest lottery scheme ever carried
on in Minnesota was organized and con-
Quoted by and in the interest of the st.
Paul Pioneer. The capital prize was an
elegant residence in that city. said to be
worth $25.OO0, but IN reality worth not half
that amount. Numerous smaller prizes
were offered in connection with the agrand
prize lottery" and the state was flooded
with printed matter setting forth the
'sgrand opportunity to secure the Pioneer
Press n year and a chance to draw the
capital prize, ali elegant residence in the
heart of the city, or some other valuable
prize" The capital prize was drawn by a
st. Paul gentleman, who, strange as it may
seem, happened to be on very friendly
terms with the managers of the affair. If
our memory serves us right, DR.. Murphy
drew the ''elegant residence" But tine
Pioneer wasn't in the ''blot on the escutch.

The house has passed the Williams
bill creating a board Of management and
control consisting of the governor, lieu
tenant-governor, secretary of state, state
treasurer and superintendent of public
instruction, for the three public institu-
tions of the state. The measure will un-
doubleday pass the senate. Now if the
Harmon bill suspending the militia laws
for a couple of years is also passed, these
two measures alone will save to the state
$25,OM annually-qulte an important
item considering the prospective condi-
ton of the state treasury. The COVER
nors excellent message at the opening OF
the session contained some very wise
suggestions of economy, and no meas
ures yet introduced are more strictly in
that line than the bills in question. The
legislature is now getting right down to
business and some very wholesome legis-
latiod is being enacted.

Settling . Duel.

An amusing story used to be told Of a wag
who accepted a challenge to fight a duel. On
the appointed day he sent word to his oppo-
nent to chalk on a board an outline Of his
the challenged party's) figure, and if the
challenger hit it he would consider himself
wounded or dead, as the case might be.
This story may possibly have originated
from one told in the "History of Hartford,
w." of Consider Bardwell, an irascible inn
keeper Of that town.
He was often at variance with his neigh
bors, and once he and a guest, having quar-
relied, agreed to fight a duel. At the APP
pointed hour the adversary appeared, armed
with a shotgun. Bardwell loved a joke, and,
being very busy, said to him:
"Tom, I'll tell you what I'll do: You 90
out and set up a board about my size and
shoot at it, and if you hit it I'll acknowledge
myeslf killed, and treat the crowd"
The ludicrous proposition made every one
laugh, and thus ended a farce.-Youth's
Communion.

The railroad commission made a re-
port to the house Saturday on the COM
parative value of native coal as compared
with Pennsylvania bituminous and
anthrocite and wood. The report is
accompanied by the testimony Of a large
number of persons, who have been using
the native product during the past six or
eight years for generating steam and for
domestic use, and concludes as follows:
From our investigation of this subject
we submit the following comparative value
Of fuel:
1 ton Ignite coal equal to " cords of wood,
~ ton Ignite coal equal to 1 ton bituminous
coal.
2 ton Ignite coal equal to 1 ton anthracite
coal.
We also have gathered much information
in regard to the practical and economical
use Of Ignite coal, notably its preservation
by keeping it under cover, cellars or sod
houses being best; for generating steam,
raise the CRATES nearer the boiler than for
other fuel. This fuel can be utilized in
any kind of stove, with a moderately fine
CRATE and is q success in base burners, IS
well as cylinder heaters, and perhaps has
its greatest utility in hot air furnaces
much of the testimony in this particular
being too late for this report. AS a fuel
for stationary steam power, we predict 1t
will take the lead Of all others.

came to Dakota in 1873, and decided
between Bismarck and Fargo to locate
in the Red River metropolis and formed
a law partnership with John D. Benton.
In the same year he went to the Black
Hills, and spent three years in Deadwood,
and was the attorney of the Home
stake mining company, being sue
ceeded by Hon. g.. G. Moody, now United
States senator. He returned to Fargo
in 1882 and has since been in active
practice in that city. He is an able law
yer and peculiarly fitted for the eminent
position to which he has been appointed.
He is not, nor never was a politician, his
whole life having been devoted to the
study and practice of law. He is a
brother-in-law of Hon. E. s. Tyler and a
son-in-law of Judge Barnes, formerly
territorial Judge. No person wei had
better endorsements than Col. Thomas
had for the federal judgship and it is be-
lieved the appointment will prove a wise
one.

SOME idea of the magnitude of the bus
mess of the Louisiana lottery company
may be had when it is considered that at
least 5000 letters are received daily, or
about one-third of the total mail going to
New Orleans, a city of 10000 people.
The outgoing lottery mail is estimated at
$4,000 letters daily, or two-thirds of the
mail going out of New Orleans. No
wonder the New Orleans evening paper
t%elegraphed that eff it came to North
Dakota, Louisiana would lose a rich
plum, which left $4,OOO,OOO annually in
the state" The greatest objection to
the lottery company that has been raised
is that its profits warranted a more liberal
annual license than oHered-a condition
the house would have enacted in any
event before passing the measure-but it
didn't pass.
