HE dispatches indicate that the rain
fall has been general all over North Da-
kota, and in most sections it has been
sufficient to moisten the ground even be-
low that of the spring rains. On the
Missouri slope nearly an inch and a
quarter of water fell, and the condition
of crops is now as perfect as could be de-
sired.

The new land law, says Register Pot
ter in the Fargo Republican, in addition to
repeating the timber culture and pre-emp-
ton statutes, contains provision
which will put an end to much contest
litigation. Several United States cases
have already been dismissed and more
are likely to follow, because, under clause
in section Z, effect is given to the equitable
claims OF the innocent third parties who
have acquired titles to lands by mortgage
and transfer. The justice of this pro-
vision has long been impressed upon
many land officers, but only recently did
it receive the support of congressional
enactment. The new law also provides
that timber-culture final proofs may be
made eight years from entry-provided,
of course, that a proper showing can be
made. But the feature of the law which
is attracting most interest is the clause
which permits communication of timber
culture entries after four years compli-
ance with the law: by the payment Of 81 %
per acre. This privilege is confined to
residents of the state, nonresident claim
ents being precluded from its enjoy
mpnt

Some Of them recently walked to Bath
gate, and the editor of the Democrat there
took affidavits from them regarding their
experience. They show much misrepre-
sentation on the part of the Canadian i'm
migration agents. Many more will walk
back into the United States looking for
work. The following is a sample Of the
affldavits:
Peter Housower being duly sworn says
that he was resident OF Ashley, McIn-
tosh county, N. D.,a married man with
one child, was pursuaded by a Canadian
immigration agent that Manitoba and the
Northwest Territory was the grandest
country on the earth. That laboring
man could get $3.50 a day and the govern
ment would give him a farm free Of
charge and loan him at a small rate of in
terest four OF five hundred dollars. At
Winnipeg was given free ticket to
Yorktown from which place we went to
look at lands which we found so poor as
to be almost worthless. Not taking farms
the ageut refused to let us go back, al
though our tickets read return. We were
forced to walk back to Winnipeg, which
took US week. Some of those along
with us who were unable to walk gave
the conductor watches ana other vasuableS
for transportation back. A large num-
Der of those desiring to return to the
United States are now at Winnipeg and
will probably walk to this side of the line
as they have no money to pay their way by
rail. Never saw more disappointed,
heart broken looking people than these
deceived immigrants from Dakota.

with the governors approval. 1t does
not differ essentially from the system
used elsewhere. The apportionment
bill, which passed the senate, was to-day
amended in the house increasing sena-
torlal representation from So to 43, with
representatives remaining at So. 1t is
believed the senate will not concur in
the amendments, in which case the
legislature will retain its present mem
Dersnip of - senators and 124 repre-
SentativeS. The reSubmlSsiOn bill came
up in the senate and majority report
recommending that the bill pass was
adopted. but nothing further done. The

DOMAIN ON STANLEY.

There are few papers that have not
fallen in the wake of the acclaim that
has gone with STANLEY on his tour, as
the greatest explorer OF modern times,
and. in fact, the combination that has
opened up an unknown continent. In
the Fargo Argus of Sunday, Col. DOMAIN
fires at the African traveller halfcol-
umn Of his peculiar rhetoric when he is
not eulogizing. The colonel has prob
ably done more travelling in the last
decade than STANLEY, and perhaps
over more lands. 1t is not, however, to
be supposed that any enyiOus feeling
induces him to say that STANLEY is
''the prince Of humbugs," "a m0unte-
bank and fraud" who never really
found anybody in Africa who wanted
to be found. If the colonel is correct.
it is desirable to know the facts, as it
would be humilating to find out that a
hero who is to be worShiped is but a
stuffed image. 4 debate on the subject
between STANLEY and DOMAIN would
draw like the strong arm of the dentist.
This is a sample of the DOMAIN picture:
STANLEY and his band of ruthless pirates
have set back the chariotwheels of African
progress for many year. They have driven
the simple worshipers of the Congo and
Nyanza regions to believe that their widest
orgies of savagery are tender and mercful
compared with the barbarisms of civilization
and so-called Christianity-the civilization
and Christianization of b ARTTELoT and JANE
son and STANLEY--the hioeous missionaries
of lust and rapine, torture and murder. who
have left n 4,00-mielong trail of fire and
blood and horror-a trail of the serpepts of
heil-trOm LOangO to BaCamOVO.

A CANADA STRAW.

If the voting the other day at Hamil-
ton. Ontario, affords sample of the
various provinces, the Liberals may
have good chance to come in ahead to-
morrow. Nine months ago the Con-
sentative was elected In that district by
elghty-siX majority. Now the Liberal,
on the commercial union issue. has 7O6
majority. That is, for the vote cast, very
emphatic. But Hamilton is a progress
i've city, in one of the most intelligent
provinces. 1t has, however, usually
elected Conservative. There are more
United States people there than in any
other city, not excepting Montreal, and
it is to be presumed that they are largely
of the elements that have suddenly at
times cleft their country for their coun-
try's good" They are not likely to
favor any opening of doors in this direc-
ton. The Liberals regard the Hamilton
vote as one of the largest sort of straws
for them.

encourage the contestants to advise
with this disintereSted commission. By
getting them to state their differences
together and before the board, it has
often been found that the asperities
and friction were modified, and concili-
alton and adjustment reached on terms
satisfactory TO both.
The strong point seems to have been
in the Judgment that has appeared to
the public to be exercised by the board
in its mediatorial work Confidence in
the members of it has increased, and its
labors are more frequently invoked. "A
sentiment has been developing that
those who have confidence in the merits
of their case will not refuse to appear
before this body. The results have
been found. in cases where strikes
were impending, to be far more salts
factory than, usually follow strikes.
The ill-feeling was averted, and the
ranking of defeat and sullen acqui-
essence was not developed. The board
has also at times been useful in sug
costing wage lists where questions had
arisen as to the need of a change. There
were a number of strikes in the state
not submitted to this arbitration, and
almost invariably they proved disas-
trouS to the parties responsible for
them. The proverbially expensive char
acter of strikes and lock-outs has been
Illustrated i'll them, and some computa

to be indicated in Massachusetts.
