the following instance Of such moral

One day, q man on railway train

solidity.
Instead Of nine-tcnths going into

NORTH DAxor4 At THE FAIR.

NORTH DdKOrI At THE F4IR
The Establishment of a "Preparatory
Worlds Columbian Exposition Course"
Suggested.
desire to suggest to the state superinN
tendent of schools of North Dakota, to the
county superintendent and teachers of
our schools, both public and private; to the
various literary circles and reading clubs
in the state, that they at once establish
what might be called a preparatory
Worlds Columbian Exposition Course"
Its object being to afford an opportunity
for our youth and citizens in general to es-
pecially educate and prepare themselves
for a profitable and intelligent participa-
ton in the grand exhibition Of nations
which will open for us in 1893.
Let there be a Worlds Fair class in each
department of our schools, wherein teach
ers and pupils can devote a certain amount
Of time every week to the study of ancient
and modern history of the nations, and the
renowned of past ages in their several
branches of art; the old masters, sculptors,
painters, poets, warriors, statesmen, phil
osophers and Savans, as they will all con-
front us there, a majestic yet silent throng.
But we shall lose much, and in many in
stances all, the pleasure and profit unless
we can listen through our eyes to the story
their very. presence, i'll various forms, will
be telling US of the matchless hand that
fashioned them or of the land that gave
them birth.
While a practical application of the
knowledge of geography may be carried
into effect, in connection with the reading
and research, by relating the directions Of
the countries under consideration, and how
they a be reached going from Chicago, and
vice versa, with a tendency to thus gradu
ally familiarize and bring the scholars
seemingly, nearer to the peoples anc
places, by somewhat removing the vague
ness that naturally accompanies great dis
tances.
The inventive mind of the intelligen'
teacher will enable him or her to tornlu
late a plea, and to pursue the course in {
manner best suited to meet the require
ments and at the same time to be the mos
practicable for the class in hand; and
cooperation of teachers concerning meth
DDS would no doubt be advisable.
To visit every continent, and all thl
Islands of the seas, in their marvellous ex
hibits, and | can speak from personal ex
perience, will severely test the ability t.
comprehend n understand the beWild
ering and wonderful display before us
and to garner properly for future delect
alton.
Hence l would urge, for the benefit an,
extensive education of the people of Mort
Dakota and the youth, particularly, tina
systematic and when expeuient. concerte'
action be taken, to the n that all ma,
largely share in the pleasures and ad
vantages that will surely be derived,
such preparations are made, even whel
not personally present at the exposition.

The supreme court of the United
States has shown that there is a way to
tax the various transportation companies
of the country, such as the Pullman car
company, the telegraph lines, express
routes, etc. North Dakota is like many
other states in this regard-been for
years trying to enact a constitutional
requirement for a revenue system that
would be successful in making these
wealthy institutions pay their proper
ton of the public burden, the same as
a common citizen. So far every effort
has been abortive and the corporations
politely but firmly inform the taxing
officers of the state to go hence, or words
to that effect. The present statutes of
the state provide for a license of 300 on
each sleeping car aud that express COM
panies pay a certain sum for every office
opened by them. The federal supreme
court has inyariable decided that sue
were restrictions on interstate commerce,
and hence null and void. But now
comes a decision on the validity of the
law of Pennsylvania that would seem to
point out the way of salvation. This
case was whether the state law of Penn
sylvania was good, which provides that
the Pullman company could be taxed on
their capital stock in proportion as the
mileage of Pennsylvania was to the to.
tai mileage covered by the company,
The court of highest resort says it is:
that it is not against interstate com
merce, but an equitable method of max.
ing the Pullmans pay their proportion
of taxes. We predict that the next leg
islature will take this matter up ani
enact a similar statute. Exacting as tn,
Pullman company does, the highes
rates for service in the country, those
travellers who have .groaned under til,
outrageous charges for so long viii
gladly hail the chance to see them REIN
burse the state somewhat for the dollar
they have dragged out of its citizens.
