Colonel Breeder, late Attorney-Gen,
eral OF New Mexico. was once retained
to defend a Mexican and a Navajo In
dian charged with the murder Of a
soldier on II street in Santa Fe one
night says the Chicago Tribune. Two
Mexican women testified that they
witnessed the murder and thought they
could identify the prisoners as the
persons who committed it. But other
evidence favored the accused and the
court and jury thought the women
were mistaken. Some time after the
acquittal the Navajo turned up, in the
seventh heaven of intoxication. and
sought out Breeder. In his expansive
gratitude he told the attorney that
although %moneyless, as usual, he wan
ted to perform some great service in
part payment of the debt he owed him
for securing his acquittal.

sSan Miguel Messenger: There is not
an industry in this state but is OPP
pressed by the railway monopoly, but
the worst is the agricultural inter-
est, which by all means should be best
fostered. 1t looks as if the railroads
were on the plan: How much tariff
can this and that article stand" and
they put it on accordingly. This is
equally as wrong in theory as it is in
practice, and railways could secure q
fair profit on moneys invested. This is
the principle on which the railway
system of Oregon is worked. In pur-
suing this policy all the rich agricul-
tural sections east Of the Cascades
have been brought under the pillow and
where formerly was a wide waste of
land is now to be seen a teeming agri-
cultural population. The more mon
ey farmers make the better is it for
the state at large, and our legislators
and railroad commissioners would do
we'll to inquire into this more fully,
and act accordingly.

The Bevier Appeal: Do not let your
old party prejudice keep you from
studying the %sub-treasury plan. Do
not let the old party politician deceive
and mislead you and keep you from
investigating it. He knows that the
corrupt leaders of the old parties will
never work for any change in our
financial system that will prove bene-
fetal to the masses, and that his only
hope of keeping you in the old party
ranks is by binding you to the truth
and keeping you in ignorance. Let
the light shine upon you. Seek ear

heart to receive the truth and you
need not fear the result.

The Arkansas Farmer: The great
underlying thought that is at the bot
tom of all the principles of the Farm
ers' Alliance is the overthrow of the
present unfair, unjust. and Ubiquitous
system of national finances, and the
institution of another that places the
government nearer to the people. the
treasury carer the masses instead of
the classes. 1t is the determination
OF the people to hold and ENJOY the
fruits of honest labor instead of stand
ing by and seeing others enjoy them
whilst they suffer. This they are de-
termined to have and nothing can now
stop the movement.

Wilton Star: The insinuation that
it has been on account of a lack of in
dustry, frugality and system that has
in the past fifteen years, nor than
ever before engulfed the farmers in
mortgage Indebtedness, is wilfully
false. And no one knows it better
than many that make the charge.
There is no class of people that works
harder and practices more economy
and enjoys less of the comforts and
luxuries OF life than the farmer. Mo-
nopoly, contraction and r~ascality in
high places have done it.

The Oregon Alliance Herald: II the
Farmers Alliance had collapsed half

The Salina Union: This govern

enough money to get a breakfast with?
But it loans to the national banks
millions at l per cent. Yes. the gov
eminent has had millions for corpora

The approval Monday by Secretary
Noble of over $1,000 acres of indemnity
lands for the Northern Pacific railroad
company will be especially gratifying to
Mclean and LaMoure counties, who
have been having litigation over taxes
with the company for some time. While
this approval will not cut any figure in
the previous question it removes all
doubts of the taxability of the lands in
the indemnity belt in the future. The
sole defense to the non-payment of the
taxes, as interposed by the company, has
been the fact that the lands not being
approved by the secretary the title was
still i'll the government. In the future
they a be treated as any decided lands
of the company and placed on the tax
rolls accordingly. This approval adds
quite a respectable figure to the valuation
of the state at large.

IT is imagined that the financial
interests of Minnesota will heave
a huge sigh of relief when the
timo for final adjournment of the
legislature is announced. Through
SO many attempts to tamper with the in
terest problem and with adverse railroad
legislation staring the corporations in
the face. it makes all interested in ex-
tending railroad facilities there cautious.
President Miller of the Milwaukee road
last week announced that his system
would not be extended so long as the ag-
itation continued to cut rates and the
like. Yesterday the board OF manage.
ment Of the new court house in Mime
apolis opened bids for some twenty-year
4 per cent. bonds and found not a single
bidder for them. This is in contrast
with the recent sale of North Dakota
securities, which brought such a hand
o e premium. With so many fields
open for capital these days, the owners
of sums for investment are not going to
have much to do with constituencies that
are not willing to allow a reasonable re-
turn for an investment. The Currier
bill and D~onnelly's interest measure will
work untold harm to Minnesota if placed
on the statute books.

made the duty of the county registers to
forward the secretary of state a certified
copy of all brands registered in his office.
The various registers are given until
April 9th to comply with the provisions
of the act and the matter should be COM
piled with promptly as until such brands
are received at the capital there is no

DURING the tendency of a railroad
measure before the Nebraska legislature,
Senator Taylor left the state, hoping
thereby to defeat the measure by the tao
tics OF a call of the house, much after the
manner of the vain hunt for Representa-
tive Williams here last winter. After
much secret meditation, the chaplain the
following day offered up the following:
We thank Thee for Nebraska, for her en-
larged borders, for her c%itizens and her
brotherhood, but rejoice that her borders
are not large enough to ~inclOse, nor her
brotherhood sweet enough to embrace, a
traitor recreant to her interests. Help him
to flee farther and yet farther from an out.

stand upon the brink of a moral volcano,
behold the torked tongues OF fiery flames,
the seethlng sea of lurid lava, hear the
muttered thunder of hidden forces and feel

awake from moral death, repent, believe
and be saved. And what we ask for dis.
covered traitors, we ask for all covert
treason and covered traitors. We ask
through the light of Christ. Amen.

HE sober, deliberate judgment of the

says:

that the assassination of Chief of Police

%currences of Saturday tell the world
that we have not yet reached that stage
OF civilization which every European
state west of Russia, has
reached, where the arm of law can be
trusted to enforce the demands of justice;
that in that respect France, England, Ger

WHEN you sweeten your coffee this
week, you can do SO with the con-
seriousness that the extra amount of sugar
you may use is not costing any more
than your small allowance heretofore.
Commencing this date, the price of all
sugars will be reduced very materially
and extra sweetness goes for the same
money formerly spent for smaller
amounts. Extensive preparations have
been made all over the country to meet
the demands to be made this morning for
sugars under the reduced schedule. It
is reported that, in the st. Paul and Min
neapolis custom houses, there are stored
about $4,000 bushels awaiting midnight
of March 3lst, when they could be liber-
ated' The first practical object lesson
that may be learned from the Mckinley
bill is presented by the grocers this

decent execution. The slaughter in New
Orleans was not only murderous, it was
shamefully cruel and cOwardly. The mob
seemed to revel in its brutal work. If the
murdererS were among "tle best citizens
OF New Orleans" then it was no wonder
that the south is what it has been for many
years past.
And the New York World propounds
the following suggestive query:
New Orleans is governed by its own peo-
pie. II it's courts are corrupt and its ad-
ministration of justice a mockery, are not
these very citizens who 50 hloodily express
their condemnation of this state OF things
themselves responsible for it? Have they
done their full duty as citizens? Have
their political activities been directed with
proper earnestness to the uprooting of cor
ruption and the maintenance of sound and
good government?

SOME people have argued that the
United States government by levying a
tax on liquor and tobacco dealers there
by license i. g. give authority to sell.
Hereafter the stamps will be simply re-
ceipts and across the face of the stamp
inscribed the following statement.
This stamp is simply a receipt for a
tax due the government, and does not
exempt the holder from any penalty or
punishment provided by the law of any
state for carrying IN the said business
within such state, and does not authorize
the commencement nor the continuance
OF such business contrary to the law of
such state or in places prohibited
by the municipal law. See section 3,243,

The application made Tuesday to
Secretary of State Flittie for a charter
for the new institution at Valley City
whose object shall be the cure of drunk
enness opium and tobacco habit and
neuresthenia' is a stride in advance for
our state. OF course the patients for
some of the disorders mentioned in the
objects will not be found within North
Dakota, but the deficiency can be sup
piled from other and not so fortunate
commonwealth that have not yet
reached u wise and benefcent leg
islat!on. "Cure of drunkenness" This,
of course, as far as North Dakotans is
concerned, is null and void. Under the
existing regulations, where it is almost d
crime for a man to crook bis elbow in
the old familiar manner, there can be no
drunkenness. Opium and tobacco hab-
it's" There being stringent regulations
on the books for the sale of these
deleterious substances, the par
ties to be cured must also come
from other sections, but it will cost
money to treat them and hence the state
will be benefited by the influx of foreign
capital and that is what we are most all
hankering after-having none too much
of local wealth. But when you strike
the "neurasthenia" part of the institu-
ton you find us all at home. For the
benefit of the uninstructei we will state
that this latter disease consists in a
multiplication of the nuclei of the
membrane of common nerve ibres,
with simultaneous d~isintegration of the
myeline and destruction of the axial
cylinder, the connective tissue between
and around the fbres undergoing re-
~latively little change" Right here is
the essence of the organization and those
affected with the simple trouble men
toned above can find balm for their
