The Leader tries in o labOred article
to show that it is those who agitate
such questions as that of unjust rail-
road assessment in Iowa that pro-
duce anarchy, socialism and disor-
ganization. The reverse is true. Agi-
tation Of such questions brings just
administration and prevents anarchy
and discomfort. 1t is just such bare
faced iniquity that causes outbreaks
like the French revolution. And the
people would never listen to dema-
gogues and extremists il they receiv-
ed substantial justice in such mat

Governor Boies.

The people of Iowa are justly proud
of the widening fame of their great
and good governor. Two years ago
it was scarcely known in a dozen
counties that there was such man
in the state of Iowa as Horace Boies.
Today his name and his fame have
gone abroad into all the states of the
union and his chances for president
ial honors are being seriously con-
sidered. His rise in the world of poll
tics has been as sudden and phenoln-
email rs was that of Grover Cleveland.
He had spent a quiet but honorable
life praticing his profession as a law
yer until his locks were gray, never
seeking Office. and but for the FORUM
ate nomination at Sioux City his
mastery ability would probably have
remained secret TO all except in his
own locality. His letter Of accept
ance convinced democrats every
where in the state that the right man
had been nominated. His analysis
of the platform on which he had been
nominated was a mastery produc-
ton and inspired confidence in the
democratic ranks. His speeches dur
ing the campaign were clear, logical
and convincing and his every utter
ance since then has been of q char
acter to increase his popularity. The
fact that he could be elected in SO
strong republican state as Iowa On
the democratic ticket was what first
drew the attention Of people in other
states to him and his able and fear
less address before the reform club of
New York first set people to talking
about him as possible presidential
candidate, but until the recent letter
of Cleveland on the silver question
his name was ever mentioned for
second place on the presidential tick
ct. That letter is thought by many
leading democrats to have rendered
Cleveland unavailable and Governor
Boies is being more closely scrutiniz-
ed to ascertain his fitness for the head
Of the ticket. He Is found to be in no
way inferior to Cleveland, in the fit
ness and breadth of thought and in
soundness on all the issues presented
by the democratic party. He is in
full sympathy with the farmers in
their efforts for relief and could be
relied on by them to favor any mea-
sure that would promote the general
welfare. We believe under all cir
cumstances that he is the most avail
able man the democratic party can
unite on and that with him as their
candidate success would be assured
in 189o.-Bedford Southwest.

Boxing UP A DIFFICULTY.

There Is q class Of very small politi-
clans with whom manipulation Is q
fine art. They get along very well,
too, while the public mind is quiescent
continuing to deceive themselves and
the public into q belief that they are
very Influential.
One OF the favorite devices OF these
fellows Is to induce the temporary
representatives Of larger elements OF
the people to commit themselves to
certain injurious policies, SO that
when the public shows dissatisfaction
the politician says: II had the per.
mission Of your representative to do
So"
An attempt o: this kind has been
made in regard to the railroad assess
ment. Messrs. J. B. Furrow, presi.
dent, and A. L. Stuntz, ex-president
Of the Farmers Alliance; J. w. MUIR
ply, secretary Of the State grange;
D. +. Morris, representing the Shelby
County Farmers' Alliance, and WIN.
7. Diller, were induced to sign . ''peti-
ton" to the executive council as fol.
lows:
To THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL: We,
the undersigned, farmers who have
been present and heard the argu-
ments and facts presented to the
executive council, pro and con, on
the question OF taxing the railroads
OF Iowa, relying. on the integrity ard
good Judgment Of the council, and
realizing that it is a subject too com.
plicated to be settled by off-hand
opinions, do simply ask the members
OF the council to use their hc es., , ,.a--
ment and follow their honest convic.
tions, having due regard for the farm
Ing interests, which we believe to
be over taxed as compared with other
interests.
This document, it is safe to presume
was signed by these gentlemen as an
expression OF confidence in the execu-
tive council. Little did the singers
think that it would be heralded to the
world as an acknowledgement that
the railroad assessment was ''too CON-
plicated" for farmers to understand
and that the farmers would go on
voting for the members of the execu-
tive council even il they continued to
assess railroad property Mt Is per cent
while farm property is assessed at 30
to 40 per cent. Yet such was the in
tentiOn, and such was the result. The
Register and Leader both claimed it
as such a concession. The farmers
were made the victims Of q confidence
game.
1t Is hardly worth while to remark
that this petty plot has not boxed up
t his difficulty. The farmers of Iowa
will not be signed over to the rail-
roads, even by their official represen-
tatives. especially when their repre-
sentatives are honestly deceived.
Their determination that taxation
shall be equal in this great state will
be as effectively voiced at the polls as
if this small piece Of chicanery had not
been practiced. The candidate who
shows this petition" as authority for
opposinga just assessment will be
buried under an avalanche of con-
temptous and indignant votes. The
masses are not responsible and cannot
be ii ed up in writin0s.-Des Moines

GOOD FOR JERRY SIMPSON!

At a meeting of the Citizens Al
lance held at Washington a few days
ago, Jerry Simpson, Congressman
elect from Kansas, made speech,
and among other things said:
The Alliance did not pretend to
have solved all the ms and outs of
legislation, but that would come later
on. They had set the people think
ing. There would be two great par
ties, in his opinion-the Alliance and
the Democratic. The conservatives
would naturally drift to the Demo-
cratic ranks. The Republican party
was as dead as was the Wing party
in 1856, and had only been kept alive
of late by the ledaers keeping up the
old sectional hate between the North
and South. He repeated the argu-
ments that have been made for the
necessity of a third or peoples party
and interspersed his remarks with H.
Illustrations and stories that set the
audience in roar. He protested
against legislation that allowed one
half of the wealth of the country to
be held by one two-thousandth part
of the population. He drew pa
thetic picture of the poverty that
existed among the farmers of the
West and the laboring classes of the
East, and deplored the apathy of law
makers who let such conditions exist.
He spoke of having visited the wo-
mons convention which met in the
city last week. He had seen fine
ladies dressed in silks and wearing
fortunes in diamonds and precious
stones on their persons, reading fine
essays on education and woman's
sphere, but he had not heard them
say word about the 20, 900 woman in
New York who..are driven to crime to
obtain livelihood, nor propose q
q plan for their redemption. Mr..
Simpson described his first visit to the
capitol; how he had viewed it from
all sides, and looking at the figure
that surmounts the dome, thought he
saw the representation Of q, working
man carrying hod. He thought
how appropriate such q statute was.
He timidly inquired of a bystander
what the figure represented, and was
informed that it was the Goddess OF
Liberty. Then he began to think,
and seeing that the face Of the image
was turned to the east, he said: How
appropriate; she can look over to
New York and see the 10000 little
children that die annually for lack Of
proper protection. She can see the
10000 young woman doomed to deg
relation; she can look on the thou
sands Of oppressed in factories, mines
and mills, ground down by greedy
capital, and said to myself, il this is
free country and this is libert y,
then give me DEATH"

Bray Goes on Record,

Hon. John P. Bray in the Grand Forks
Plaindealer: The theory of the railroad
commissioners to establish a Dakota
grade for our wheat is all right and their
efforts will in two years or less time
eliminate in sending our North Dakota
No. l hard wheat into the markets of the
world in it's unmixed purity, under our
own state grades, when it will be worth
from five to twenty cents per bushel
nor than any other wheat on earth.
AS the area of the earth's surface where
this wheat is raised is very limited, being
confined within the boundaries of our
state lines, and as this area cannot be
extended without changing the laws of
nature, the effect of this theory of the
railroad commissioners on the price of
our real estate is apparent, and as real
estate is the capital stock of the farmer,
it is plain the effort of the railroad com
misioners is directly in the interests OF
our Dakota farmers"
"But that is not all. This establish
ment of Dakota grades will bring to our
territory wheat buyers from the world at
large. There is now a company being
organized with unlimited capital to

Will Help

A New York dispatch says: It is
stated that President Cakes of the North
ern Pacific railroad is preparing an esti-
mate of the grain crop in the territory
tributary to the company's lines. In
complete returns indicate an increased
yield of about 20 per cent, we'll distri-
buted over the entire area travelled by
the road.
To meet the pressure of shippers the
equipment has been increased by 1900
freight cars, all of which have been de-
livered, and the Baldwin Locomotive
works has turned over the last of forty
eight locomotives. Elevators have been
erected at various points, and the work
of hauling the crop to market will be
accomplished with little confusion, in
| spite of the immense amount of grain at
hand.
For the first time in several years the
region east of Bismarck has escaped
drouth or some other calamity, and the
harvest there is exceptionally abundant.
This fact, it is believed, will stimulate
the demand for land in that district,
which has been very light of late. Pay
ments for land east of the Missouri river
may be made in preferred stock, and in
fact nearly all payments may be so made,
and a revival of the demand for agricul.
tural land in the eastern part of the com
pays grant would undoubtedly result in
the retirement of a considerable block of
the preferred stock.

It was thought that after the service
of restraining orders on the inspectors
by the United States court on request of
the Great Northern and Northern Paci-
6c, no more attempt would be made by
the inspectors to carry out the law until
the court rendered it's decision. Chief
Inspector Wineman, however, seems to
intend to carry out every feature of the
law as far as possible, and as Paramount
was named as n of the inspection
points, he went to that place Wednesday
accompanied by Deputy Ellsworth. On
the arrival of the south bound freight
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road they demanded of the con-
ductor that they be allowed to inspect
the cars of wheat on the train. The
conductor, who had previously been in
structed, refused to allow the cars to be
opened or the train to be delayed. The
train went on without the grain being
inspected. The inspectors then went to
the National Elevator company, where
they inspected car of wheat, but the
elevator agent refused to pay the char
ges for inspection. They are now wait
ing for a freight train on the 500 so as
to treat all the railroads fair and give
all a chance to kick if they want to do

The Sheep Industry.

Casselton Reporter: The possibilities
of the developing of the American wool
growing industry cannot be appreciated
by anyone who has not visited the North
west. Here are millions upon millions
Of acres adapted to sheep raising, but not
utilized, yet we continue to import more
than half the wool we consume. Almost
llmitless wealth lies stored in the IN
developed sources of the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Idaho. The wheat from the
Red River Valley in the eastern part of
North Dakota is valuable enough and
sufficiently Q to eastern markets to
make it's cultivation highly profitable.
But further west where the soil becomes
more stingy, where the crops grow small
Ter and more uncertain and the freight
charges and the time consumed in reach

growing is out of the question at pres
