At the meeting of the stockholders of the
Fargo Argus company, some two weeks
ago, Ak. Griggs, E. o. Faulkner, W. A.
Stephens. h. G. Plumly and M. R. Flint
were elected directors. The directors af
forwards elected Capt. Griggs, of Grand
Forks, president; E. O. Faulkner, of Chica-
60, vice president and superintendent; and
W. A. Stephens, of st. Paul, secretary and
treasurer. While the meeting was in pro-
gress the sheriff served an injunction issu-
ed by Judge Rose to restrain Faulkner or
anv of his assigns, proxies or assistants
from voting any of the stock standing in
his name, but upon advice of his counsel
Faulkner decided to disregard the injunc-
tion and voted the stock to which Maj.
Edwards fled a protest. A resolution was
adopted requiring president Edwards of
the former organization to produce the
stock certificate and transfer books of the
company at the meeting then in progress,
which by the advice of counsel he refused
to do. So it seems the embroglio is not
yet at an end.

The Death of w. A. Kindred.


A brief telegraphic dispatch yesterday
announced the death, in Philadelphia Fri
day night, of Hon. VIM. A. Kindred of this
city, The tidings carried pang of per-
sonal regret and sorrow to every old citizen
of Fargo.
Mr.. Kindred was born in New Jersey
about forty-ive Year, ago. He came to the
Red River Valley of Dakota as a member
of the Northern Pacific engineer corps in
1870 or 1871, when this whole region was
an almost unknown wilderness-a buffalo
pasture and Indian hunting ground. He
assisted in making the original surveys for
the great railway which was the pioneer
highway of Northwestern civilization.
He was one of the first to recognize the
possibilities of the country, and to place
faith in the destiny of Fargo. He was one
of her earliest settlers, and from that time
forward his loyalty to the young city he
had helped to found and to build never
wavered. He was an earnest and intelli-
gent worker for every material interest of
the city and the region. He was mayor of
Fargo several terms, and under his admins
tration many municipal Improvements
were planned and effected. He was vice.
president of the Red river valley National
Bank, and was one of the original projec-
tors and organizers of the Fargo Southern
Railroad, and its vice-president. He was
identified with many others of the leading
business enterprises of the city and the
state, and was also large property holder
in the new state of Washington. He was an
active, enterprising, public-spirited citi-
zen, whose death is public loss, loss to
this entire region. Mrs. Kindred and the
two little children left St. Paul Friday
night to join him in Philadelphia. 1t is
pitiful to think of the bitter grief and dis
appointment awaiting them.

farm in more lordly style than ever. The
cause of all this pomp and independence
is the arrival of a new heir at his residence
last Monday. At last accounts mother and
son were doing well.

THE Lincoln Club gave banquet Thurs
day evening at Toledo. Mckinley, alias Ma
poleon ~, was there. Jimmy Boyle, of the
Commercial, presided, who announced that
little misunderstanding among the cooks
in getting up the meal necessitated speeches
between the several courses. Jim Ashley led
off with an essay on Chow Me and Abe Fit
the War and put down the Rebellion" From
the Blades report of his egoistical word
quibbling, Lincoln was secondary factor in
the late unpleasantness, while Secretary
Stanton was not in it at all. He told how
often Abe had disagreed with him and how
he had never failed to bring the President
around to his way of thinking. He had
plodded along in this self eulogistic style
several minutes, when with flash of trum-
pets and clash of queensware, the walters
pranced in and stopped Jim's harrangue as
effectually as though regular Jack-the-Rip
per gag had been thrust square in his larynx
The handy men finally disappeared and the
reader continued. Having fairly got on the
track again he was interrupted in the same
way, and 80 on until the whole proceeding
degenerated into farce, in which Ashley
his bloody shirt and noodle soup were one
disgusti ng, nauseating mess.

SENATOR CARLISLE has an article in the
Forum for February which, among other
things, gives an idea of the cost of the gov
eminent to each individual. He says:
"While our population in 1880 was only 16
times as great as in 1870, the expenditures of
the national government. including all pay
ments upon the interest and principal of the
public debts, were more than $50 times as
great, In other words, the population in
creased from 1928, PA in 1850 to g., ,4S0, $40 IN
1890, while the ordinary annual expenditures
rose from $1,O16,5 592 to the sum of $3l6, $685.
203. If we take the year 1910, twenty years
after the adoption of the Constitution, we
find that the population was 7,249,S61, and
that the expenditures we're $5,311,0S2, or "a
cents per capita. In 1880, eighty years after
ward, the population was less than nine
times as great as it was then, but the ordi-
nary expenditures were more than 48 times
as great, and amounted to $4.l9 per capita
From 1880 to 1S40, including the period OF
the Seminole war, the population increased
81. 81 per cent. and the expenditures increased
80 per cent; from 1S4O to 1850, during which
time the war of Mexico was commenced and
prosecuted to successful termination, the
population increased 1851 per cent. and the
expenditures increased 50 per cent; but from
1880 to 1890, period of profound peace,
population increased 34H per cent. and ex-
penditures increased 55 per cent.

The Band Fair has the boards at the Rink
this week and although the patronage 30 far
has been fair, the boys deserve far better
treatment Il is no disoredit for a town to
possess a good bsnd-quite the reverse, and
the credit is enjoyed by each citizen with
shares equal to the musicians themselves, and
il not more 20; for, ittakes years of study,
practice, and considerable money TO become
efficient. and when such requirement is at
tanned where are the returnsi Surely they
are not reimbursed by financial returns for,
despite fairs. donations, etc., members rare
ly escape an assessment, yearly, to defray
current expenses. To be member is an hon.
or certainly, but not sufficiently heavy
weight to compensate the members for their
trouble, expenses, etc. Therefore, instead of
allowing such benefit to be sustained by
the boys themselves, Napoleon should
be at the Rink every night withpurse strings
united.

AN investigation Of our entire pension sys-
tenn and the elimination of names not
properly upon the rolls, can not be STAYED of
much longer. When such Republican papers
as the New York Tribune join with the Dem
ocratic and independent press in asking for
such an investigation, it is high time for the
small fry Republican sheets to withdraw
their opposition. Honest pensioners have
nothing to fear from this investigation,
which we trust will be undertaken by the next
House, but the dishonest ones, who are en-.
tirely too numerous, may well feel shaky and
fear the just indignation of the people who
have been and are being robbed of millions
for their benefit.

jar GOULD isrepeating his old time tactics.
He is trying to make the people of Georgia
believe that he intends to boom the city Of
Savannah by making it the ocean outlet for
his " estern and southwestern railroads. and
by establishing fine line of ocean steamers
from that city to some European port. Per-
haps Mr.. Gould will do all he says he will do,
but he hasn't lived up to his promises in the
past. Fo. several years he annually told the
citizens of st. Louis that he had almost per-
fected arrangements for the erection of the
grandest Union railroad depot in the world
in that city, but no Union depot has yet been
built in that city by Mr.. Gould.

AN ITEM in the naval appropriation bill ap-
propriates $25,0OO and the use of govern
ment vessel for the purposs of making deep
sea soundings between San Francisco and the
Sandwich Islands, in order to determine the
feasibility of a cable between those points. A
Pacific cable is doubtless very much desired.
but why should this government be called
upon to pay any part of its cost2 Why should
the company which proposes to lay the cable
be given financial assistance that was not ex-
tended to any of the Atlantic Gable compan-
les? This idea of private corporations con-
stantly calling upon the government for help
is most vicious one. Such things were
never heard of until the Republican party con-
trolled the government.
