A Tribute to Father Sloan,

The last issue of the Presbyterian con-
tains the following. tribute to Rev. 1. O,
Sloan, from the pen ofRev. S. H. Thomp-
pson. Never was better tribute more
worthily bestowed:
What Francis Makemle was to Mary
land, and the Tenants and others to
their respective localities, such, even
with more historical accuracy, will be
the position which Rev. I. 0. Sloan will
occupy in the future history of the Dako
tas. The founder and builder of the first
church of any denomination in all of
North Dakota, he has lived to see ninety
churches erected and fifty ministers
occupying strategic points in that great
state. 10 this result Father Sloan has
contributed not a little by his continued
presence and untiring energy. While
others have come and gone, he has stead
fastly held his ground, and endeared
himself to all classes and conditions, so
that his name has become a household
word, and his presence a benediction
throughout the land. The writer has
followed aud labored with Father Sloan,
and keenly regrets inability to accept
his warm invitation to preach at the
dedication of another new church, which
he has erected, free of debt, at Glencoe,
N. D. This last noble monument to
Father Sloan occupies a commanding
pos ton south of Bismarck in the midst
of a prosperous Scotch settlement. The
Philadelphia contributor to this enter
prise will rejoice to hear of it's success
full completion and promising outlook,
and will not be slow to second the
further efforts of their honored towns
man in building up the Masters King
dom on the frontier.
Although burdened with the weight of
years and his abundant labors, Father
Sloan has resisted all temptation to re-
turn east, and it is the hope and prayer
of his brethren on the field that he may
be spared to then many years to come.
Such an example as chat of this veneer
able brother wearing himself out amid
the hardship of missionary life, that he
might not only lay we'll the foundations,
but insure the success, of our beloved
zion in the Dakotas is something that
must touch a grateful cord in all hearts,
and fire our young men to similar hero
| ism.
After years of depression, North Dako-
ia is again rapidly coming to the front.
Many of those who left are returning,
while new and enterprising settlers are
loeking in. Unprecedented crops, and
abundant focks and herds give promise
of better days. Our church must keep
pace with the onward march, meet en-
terprise with enterpris Q and holo up the
hands ofsuch veterans as Father Sloan

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA, J

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT..
In accordance with the public procla-
nation of the president of the United
States, and by virtue of the authority
vested in me as governor of the state of
North Dakota, I do hereby designate
Thursday, the 26th day of November, as
a day of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving proclamations are some-
times issued as a motter of duty or GUS
tom, but in this year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-one,
your executive feels that he will not be
able to command language sufficiently
strong to impress upon the people his
own idea of the thanks that are due for
the splendid harvest in this year of peace
and prosperity.
We have abundant occasion to give
thanks. The horn Of plenty has been
opened wide, and blessings have been
showered upon the people of North Da-
kota. Poverty is a stranger within our
borders; starvation and misery are I'M
known. We have occasion to give
thanks for a more healthful climate, and
more wealth in the soil than can be
truthfully claimed by many countries.
We should give thanks for the indus
trial development of this state; for the
building of homes of happiness and
beauty on our prairies; for our admirable
school system; for the high moral senti-
ments which bears the fruit of obedience
to law; for the wide spread civilizing in
tluence of christianity, with its promises
of JOY in the future; and for the blessing
of health and good cheer during the year
now closing.
And thanks that from our daily need
The JOY of simple faith is born;
That he who emites the summer weed
May trust Thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold and knaves their power;
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field or trains a flower,
Or plants a tree. ls more than all.
POI he who blesses most is best;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his beQuest
An added beauty to the earth;'
Our thanks on this day should be from
the heart; for a bount1ful harvest has
rewarded our labor. Let this strengthen
our faith in the future. And with it all,
we should remember that we cannot re-
ceive the full blessing without endeayor-
ing to deserve it.
With continuance Of the faith and la
Dor which have brought success, l sin
cerely believe that it will be demon
strated, as the years go by, that we have
established ourselves in a favored land
where We will, each year, have greater
cause for sincere and fervent Thanks
giving.
l do, therefore, recommend that the
people of this state assemble at their re-
spective places Of worship on the day ap-
pointed, and there render thanks to Al.
mighty God for his goodness to US as a
people.
Done at the capitol, in the city of
Bismarck, North Dakota, this
sEAD. seventeenth day of November,
in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and
ninety-one.

SCALPERs' TICKETS.

That was an important opinion handed
down by the supreme court on Tuesday in
the scalper's ticket case. Briefly, the com
plainant had purchased ticket from a
broker which had been sold originally to
another party; it was one of those special
contract affairs by which the railway COM
pany agreed to carry the buyer upon GER
tain conditions, among others, that he
would not dispose of the ticket. In the
event of transfer the ticket was to be-
come void. Inconvenience and annoyances
were imposed upon the purchaser, but he
assumed these in consideration of the re-
duced price at which the ticket was sold to
him. All the conditions were plainly
printed on the ticket and the buyer ac-
cepted the contract Understandings He
broke the contract, however, by selling the
ticket to another, and in that way destroyed
whatever of value there was in the ticket.
The second purchaser was not permitted to
ride on the ticket for the reason that the
latter had been made void and of no value
by the original holder. The conductor
took it up and gave the holder the option of
paying full fare or getting off the train.
The court holds that the conductor acted
properly, and we think this is good law.
1t is the rule, we are aware, to "cinch"
railway companies whenever it can be done,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-02-05

and too many people and too many courts
insist upon performing the squeezing act
without rregard to the rights involved.
Juries are prone to find against railways
on general principles, and the court which
is disposed to be fair in applying the law to
the great corporations is apt to be popu-
larly accused of accepting favors from the
companies. The railways are bad enough
everybody will concede, but because they
are grinding and oppressive does not per-
NIT an excuse Tor doing wrong to them.
There is one evil which court decisions
like that of Tuesday will have tendency
to correct. We refer to the deceit and i'm
position which some scalpers practice
upon the too trusting poor people, for the
poor, as rule, are the ones who suffer from
the purchase of worthless tickets. We
have seen more than one person attempt
ing to ride on void tickets, elected from
trains, and have known that they could i'll
afford to lose the money paid for the worth
less paper, on the assurance of the broker
that the ticket would be honored for trans

THE AUTOCRAT.

Of course nobody here has ever hoped
for the passage of the federal building bill
since President HARRISON gave notice that
he would approve no such bills while the
treasury was threatened with deficiency.
When the President vetoed the bill for a
building in a Texas city where its great
need was conceded, THE HERALD ceased to
expect that the bill for government build
ing in this city would become law. At the
same time how outrageous it is that the
speaker should defeat the measure by
simply refusing to permit it to get before
the House. Mr.. REED would probably
recognize Mr.. GAME to call up a bill in
which the speaker or his party was inter
ested, but when the Delegate asked to be
recognized for the purpose of getting a vote
on bill which was important to all the
people Of Utah, the speaker frankly de-
clined, and thus exercised more of the auto
cratic power, some of which has been con-
ferred upon him and more of which he has
assumed. The country will heave a sigh of
relief on the arrival of March 4, for en- that
day Speaker REED will come down from
his lofty perch and thereafter legislation In
the House will not be dependent on the
whims of one man. There will be other
speakers, but we cannot think that the
Representatives viii ever again confer upon
their presiding officer such autocratic power
as Mr.. REED has held and exercised fer
fifteen months. Even Republicans would
not again consent to so bind and gag them
selves

CHIcAGoANs ARE pluming themselves on
the proposition that they are going to par
alyze the Frenchman EIFFEL in the matter
OF tower-building. The Herald says that if
EIFFEL should visit the Columbian fair in
1898 he would be compelled to admit that
his famous tower was small and con-
temptible affair compared with the one
which will there meet his astonished gaze
The Chlcagoaas intend to "see'' the
Frenchman and go him 492 feet better.
They will erect tower which, instead of
stopping at the height of the one in Paris
j, 600 feet-will be pushed skyward to the
altitude of 1,492 feet 1t may be well
enough for the men and papers of the city
by the lake to boast Of their genius, enter
prise and iberality, but after all they
should be generous enough to admit that it
was the Frenchman they propose to be
little who not only gave them the idea but
taught them how to carry it into effect.

avoid letting her husband know what she

time, we think that the clients of such

ground for divorce that a court will not

all our courts, the decree ought not to be

THE HISS OF THE SERPENT.

How the old serpent that has lost it's
fangs and has oft shed It's skin for worse
one, hates the continuance of peace in this
territory! How the wretched thing spits
venom at the prodding the city council and
chamber of commerce have given it by de-
nouncing as base libels articles that the
reptile chad declared to be fair How it
writhes and ticks its suffering jaws as it
Kisses forth it's denunciations of the dead
and the living for what it pretends they
once said How it coils up with very
modesty when it describes its own purity
and honesty and what not! How the Shiny
creature whose every hiss is dictated by
the fellow who has lured past officials to
their ruin, whose every writhe is directed
by few mine-owners, yet centuries to
raise its head and work its for5ed tongue
about its own freedom from collar!
To all that the serpent Kisses forth
against this paper we enter a denial in the
only terms applicable to the gaping thrusts
Of the forked tongued creature, and say
in the vigorous words of HORACE GREELEY,
You lie, YOU villain, you lie''

nourished it; endeavors to blight the com

We ask business men what they think of

THE HANCOCK CASE.

The supreme court justices will have the
satisfaction of knowing that in the opinion
reversing the lower court and granting to
Father HANCOCK new trial. they not ONLY
interpret, the law as it should be inter
preted in fair and humane spirit, but do
that which will be approved by every fair
minded person in the community. The
verdict declaring HANCOCK guilty of the
murder of JONES was surprise to all who
followed the case in the court; it was, in
the opinion of most people acquainted with
the facts, impossible to reconcile the jury's
findings with aregard for law and justice.
How the triers arrived at the conclusion
they die cannot be explained except by the
judges partisan charge and intense and
inexcusable prejudice which would sacri-
fee man because he was member of an
unpopular sect We don't believe there is
person in the country who thinks HAN
COCK murdered HEN" JONES. Certainly
no trustworthy testimony that be did the
killing was presented at the trial.
And then, more than thirty years elapsed
between the killing and the arrest, during
all Of which time the accused resided at his
ever an humble, Woodworking citizen, re-
spected by his neighbors and honored in
the community. During all that time there
was never moment when he avoided
arrest and prosecution, and we doubt that
in his knowledge of his innocence he ever
thought for moment that anybody would
seriously and in earnest charge him with
the crime.
1t would have been an awful thing to
compel the old man, whose years on earth
can be but few at most, to pass the re-
mainder of his days behind prison walls
and put upon him the stain of convict.
THE HERALD heartily applauds the court
for undoing what threatened to develop
into great wrong, and as warmly con-
graduates Mr.. HANCOCK upon his escape
from an existence which would have been
almost intolerable to man of his years
and responsibility.

states forged DEGREES of divorce, have been

richly deserve the punishment they will

punish their clients also2 We doubt that
