The Independent, the official or.
gan of the Farmers Alliance, with
Walter Muir as editor, has again put
in an appearance. 1t is printed on
tinted paper, la Northwest News,
and is very creditable sheet. Mr..
Muir's opening editorial defines the
platform of the paper and gets in a
stab at the "shoddy partizan press. -
1t seems funny that Mr.. Muir can't
even get out one paper without in
sulting his brethren of the fraternity.
Whether the editor of a republican
or democratic paper is any more
"shoddy" than the Independent be-
cause its editor believes in 4 third
party is a question. The editor OF
the Independent should remember a
certain amount of courtesy is due to
his brother editors. However, time
will straighten out these minor de-
fects, and we wish the Independent
and its editor abundant success in
their work.

With the exception of the presi
Dental election, the big fight in poll
tics in 1892 will be between the pro-
hibition and the saloon elements on
the question of resubmission. The
republican party OF this state pledged
itself in their platform to sustain the
prohibition plank. Has the republi-
can legislature-representatives Of
the people-at Bismarck kept that
pledge and sustained the action Of
the state convention? Hardly. The
republicans will either have to re-
deem themselves at the polls in 1892
or leave these planks out of their
platforms.

Representative McCulloch intro
duced House Bill 1916. This bill
provides that foreclosure of mortgage
shall extinguish the whole debt for
which mortgage was given, even if
the proceeds of sale are not equal to
the debt secured by the mortgage.
Mortgages heretofore given are not
affected. Should bill of this kind
become law. it would be the means
of adording too many loop-holes for
mortagee to escape paying part Of
a just debt. and thereby causing
loss to the mortgagor. There is not
one case in hundred where proper
ty is sold at auction for its full value.
However, we are satisfied with this
bill if the balance of the people are
satisfied.
Since writing the above this bill
has been indefinitely postponed.

Senator Farwell, of Illinois, pro-
poses, after his term Of office expires,
which will be next March, to devote
himself to the scientific work Of try
ing to produce rain by the firing off
cartridges Of gunpowder or nitro
glycerine high up in the air. He
proposes to send up balloons in the
dry portions of Western Kansas and
Colorado furnished with torpedoes
and slow matches. by which he hopes
to obtain conclusion extending for
fifty miles in every direction. Moth
ing is said about helping North Da-
kota in this direction, but if Senator
Farwell will furnish the balloon and
slow matches, we will try and furnish
the combustibles. All the North
Dakota people would have to do
would be to fill the balloon car with
Major Edwards, Col. Plummer and
the correspondents of the Minneapo-
lis and St. Paul dailies, send up the
balloon to the required height, tough
off these fellows with one of the sen.
ator's slow matches, and wait 70,
the result. If the conclusion brough,
on by the explosion of this material
does not bring on a heavy rainfall It
will be very strange.

The bill introduced by Represen-
tative Cope, to re-submit the liquor
question to vote of the people, has
passed both the house and senate by
the small majority of one in each
house. The same measure will have
to pass through the next legislature
before it can be put to vote of the
people, and it will be at the least cal
cula:ien two years and half before
the people have their say, in the
meantime we shall have reasonable
time to find out whether prohibition
prohibits. The liquor men are well
organized and will make a deter
mined effort to carry the next legis-
lature. If the prohibitionists want
to retain the advantage they now
have they must be up and doing.
Later-the senate on Tuesday, by
a vote of IS to 1a, expunged fion,
the records all proceedings taken or
the re-submission resolution. Thi:
leaves the prohibitionists ON top.
