HACK-DRIvERs' TRICKS.
How They Take Advantage of People and
Charge Excessive Rates.

How They Take Advantage of People and
Charge Excessive Rates.
Complaints are constantly made that some
of the hack-drivers of the city always charge
patrons excessive rates where they think they
can succeed in their bulldozng, and this is
especially the case where the service is rem
pay higher rates for hack service after night
fall, but the fees asked by some of these
drivers are entirely beyond the limit of reason,
and it is no wonder that the victims enter
vigorous protests.
Said policeman: "You have have only to
go to the First Precinct station almost any
, night and you will see parties driven up in
hacks charged with refusing to pay fare
Some OF these men are full of liquor and
can't even give connected account of where
they entered the hack or how long they have
occupied it, OF course, the statement of the
hackman goes in such case. These fellows
generally operate in couples-that is to say,
If the irate passenger kicks and offers fight
two of the hackmen combine and overpower
him and drive him to the station. The police
men at the station know that in many cases
these charges are outrageous but what can
be done when drunken man is in the hack !?
'But there is another feature in the high
charging hack business that is more detestable
and shameful than the one just mentioned.
1t is the asking of enormous fares from a gem
tleman when accompanied by lady, and par
ticularly is this so if the parties are young
presumably unmarried. 1t is trick some of
the hackmen play every day. They do not
hesitate for a moment to charge the young
man dollar for driving three or four squares
with lady friend. They know that before
the victim of the excessive tariff would incur
the embarrassing situation of starting wran-
gle with the driver he will submit to be cheated
and dive down into his pocket and pay the
price. This custom should be broken up, but
r.,s1I lNlI \
tie risk, and if caught the fine is trifing. You
will recollect that the hack-driver who was
caught in the act of cheating patron in front
of Harvey's a week or so ago was only fined
five dollars by Judge Miller. He could well
afford to pay such fine once in a while"

The cost of manufacture of whiskey
has been lessened rs per cent. by the
discovery of a new process for the fer
mentation of spirits. The whiskey trust
will make this Is per cent, however, not
the drinker. In states where liquor is
sold the price will remain the same-15
cents, two for Is. Whiskey is about the
only luxury or commodity the retail
price of which does not huctuate. It
matters not whether it is bought over a
marble slab in front of a gorgeous mirror
and dealt ont by a pompous individual
with a wealth of starched shirt bosom,
studded with diamonds, or whether it is
drank from a tin cup or broken glass, by
the gllmmer of a smoking lamp in a
''blind pig" joint; matters not whether a
license of $1,000 a year to sell is paid, or
whether a connection of alcohol and rat
poisson is made and dealt out from a
"hole in the wall" by some reckless old
stager with al eye on the ~penitentiary
and an ear cooked to catch the sound of
the proper knock to admit another GUS
toner into the dive-it's all the same-15
cents, or two for a quarter.

If it was really true, as the Mime.
apolis Journal says, that as a result of
prohibition the recent term of the dis.
trict court in Mandan covered only two
days, then a powerful argument in favor
of prohibition would have been made.
1t is feared, however, that the Journal
doesn't understand the condition of
affairs in North Dakota-doesn't under
stand that liquor selling has simply
changed form-that instead of the open
saloon the "blind pig" exists-that there
is just as much drunkenness in Mandan,
in Bismarck, in jamestown, in Fargo, in
Dickinson and in other North Dakota
cities as there was before so-called
prohibition. This item is not intended
to discourage prohibition but there is no
use of misrepresenting facts. The pro.
hibition law is being enforced so far as
open saloons are concerned and to that
extent it is a success. So far and no
further. Where public sentiment is
strong enough prohibition can be reason
ably we'll enforced, but where the senti-
ment is not strong enough the law is a
dead letter. Prohibition had very little
to do with the length of the recent term
of court in Mandan.

or soon after the next republican national
convention. 1t is important therefore
that North Dakota be up and doing and
that the interest in the league work be
general throughout the state so that the
convention ON FEBRUARY 18th may be a
representative one. In no other way can
the republicans of the state effect better
organization. The league is entirely
non-factional. 1t puts forth no candi-
dates. It simply works for republican
success-not for individuals but for re-
publican principles. The republican
press of North Dakota should be earnest
in it's cooperation with this work. This
ought to be an educational campaign.
If every republican does his duty the
republican phalanx in the land of No 1

ization so perfect that Gibraltar like
it will be impregnable to the;puny attacks
Of the champions of democratic free

emergency. The selection of Minneapo-
lis for the holding of the rational con-
vention next year will give a wonderful
impetus to republican organization in
the west and northwest, and prove an
effectual antidote to a growing and
dangerous granger disaffection. The
selection of Minneapolis was made after
a full and fair expression and presentation
of the claims of all other cities and the
careful consideration of it's effect on the

only equalled by the congratulation due

A. r. next year. AS a compromise date
September Goth has been named. It is
expected that this reunion of old sold
iers will be the greatest the world has
ever seen. No drawer men ever lived
than those who marched down Pennsyl-
vania avenue to be mustered out of SER
vice and receive an honorable dis
charge, a quarter of a century ago, and
surviving members of that grand, vic
torious army who are permitted to again
retrace their steps down that beautiful

be no less proud. It ought to be a pol
icy of every G. A.. R. post and every
community to furnish means where
necessary and make it possible for every
old soldier to attend this reunion.

AS suggested by the jamestown Alert,
North Dakota owes something more
than "thank you" to the St. Paul Job
bers' union for it's assistance in the mat
ter of furnishing threshing outfits to as
sist in the harvest of the magnificent
crop in this state. It is shown that this
union sent 1873 threshing outfits to North
Dakota and nearly 5000 individual la
borers. The TRIBUNE agrees with the
Alert that this kindness should "be re-
membered by more extensive business
relations" but cannot agree with the
Alert'a slur on Minneapolis, which city

The Minneapolis Miller reviews the
milling business of October and shows
that Minneapolis smashed all previous
records and produced the biggest grist
eve turned out in a single month. The
amount was 100000 barrels, being from
$4,000 to $4,000 barrels greater than
for October in the three previous years,
though the work done in these months
was by no near light. There was an
average production of 33,452 barrels for
each of the 81 working days. 10 do
this some 100000 bushels of wheat were
ground up. The months exports were
$4,000 barrels, or nearly 43 per cent. of
the entire quantity of -four made.

TROUBLE in, Europe is imminent. The
elimination is not far distant. The re-
lations of the great powers are strained
almost beyond endurance. The latest
is the ukase of the czar prohibiting
further export of wheat from Russia
and the rumor that an embargo on ship
ment of horses will also be made. This
looks war-like. The New York banking
house of Henry Clews & Co., in their
last weekly review speak of foreign fin
ances as follows:
For the last two or three weeks, both
Paris and Berlin have been selling largely
OF Russian issues, the amount of which
held IN France is estimated at $500. OOO, 900
and in Germany at ST. 500, 000, 1000. The
bankrupt condition of Spanish finances is
also an element of danger. The Bank of
Spain has exceeded the legal limit of its
note issues and proposes to further disre-
gard its constitutional restraints; and
while confeSsing its inability to pay a tenn
porary loan from the Rotchlllds of S1O,0 OO,-
wy is asking for a further advance OF $751;
0OO 0oo. And yet France is estimated to be
holding some $500 0O.0 900 of Spanish secu-
rites OF one kind or another. Italy has
been severely hurt by its recent panic, and
confidence cannot yet be said to be return
ing in Rome. At Vienna. the state of fin.
anceS is one OF high tension; and nothing
is being accomplished towards restoring
confidence in Portugal. THIS is an unvar-
nlShed statement of the present condition
OF finances in Europe at large. with a pos
slOle Super-added great war within six
months. A graver situation could hardly
be conceived, IN he would be a bold fin
ancier who would say thai these inlu.
enceS can have no bearing Upon the future
or American securities. In my judgement,
so long as this state of things continues,
and an eye had better be kept to the wind
ward and conservative methods Shout pre-
vail. Still as the feeling in London Is at
present showing ONE Improvements and
the Bank. of England is showing some gain
IN its reserves. Our market for securities il
entitled to some recOvery in prices and in
creased activity, at least for the coming
week.
Since the above was issued there has
been an improvement in American
securities and a sharp advance in the Lon
don market. The United States not be-
ing mixed up in the turmoil of the CONT
nent, but on the other hand likely to be
benefited by the troubles almost certain
to culminate in the spring, the inclination
of shrewd financiers is to unload the
continental holdings and invest in those
securities likely to be the least affected
by the complications in Europe.

Perhaps the most important factor in the
next presidential camp ,ign will be the Ma
tional Republican league. The league is
largely composed Of vigorous young men;
its organization is very comprehensive,
and it is rapidly extending its sub.organi-
cations throughout e\ cry state and county.
The executive commit .ee of this active
political force will meet in New York to-
day and tomorrow to consider plans for
extending the league work. 1t has been
decided that the national convention of the
league will not be held until after the
national nominating convention, as the
league desires to avoid all appearance of
debating nominations. 1t is an army of
workers and not of mauipulat0rs. When

tuted party authorities it goes ahead and

A New YORK paper of last Friday,

who has read carefully the reports from

that the situation there appears to be SO

possible actual hostilities will break out
just as soon as the weather permits the
