In the Dickey County Leader L. D.
Bartlett makes a defense for Paine, the
man who was jailed in Mcintosh county
because he would not turn over to the
county commissioners the money which
he had collected for the people of that
county. Bartlett says that Paine was
under oath-he does not state to whom
not to give the funds to the county
commissioners, but to disburse them
himself, and that he, Paine, wanted the
commissioners to 60 with him and see it
distributed. After roasting the court,
Bartlett winds up by saying that he is
going to the Twin Ci lies to inform the
press regarding the true status of the
Paine affair.

sure a downfall of much-needed rain.
Hastily taking up a collection they pur-
chased $40 worth of the rain producer
and proceeded to the prairie, but before
any of it could be exploded the rain be-
gan to fall. This should be a pointer
for Irrigation Barrett. Up in McHenry
county the people are calling upon the
aforesaid gentleman to produce lain, and
it they do not get some moisture soon
they will probably begin to wonder what
they pay him for.

UNDER the direction of Major J. w.
Powell the United States Geological sur
vey has become one of the most impor-
tant departments of the government.
There was a tendency on the part of the
last congress to question the ACCESSIBILITY
of large expenditures for geological sur
veys, but it is hoped that the next 10
gress will wisely conclude that it will
not do to cripple the service by niggard-
ly appropriations. To be sure. the ex-
penditures seem large, but it is an ex-
pensive class of work, requiring special
training, and many of those engaged IN
it are men who have spent their lives and
some of them their fortunes in acquiring
the necessary knowledge to fit them
selves for the Sol vice. The geological
formation Of the United States is i'm
mensely interesting and it is hoped that
Director Powell will receive that n
c%ouragement and support which his de-
partment deserves and that the surveys
will be extended and increased.

AFTER a long contest, the Florida sem
atorial contest has resulted in the re-
election of Senator Call. He has had q
majority of the legislature for him all the
time, but by a foolish adherence to that
time-honored democratic two-thirds Gus
tom he has been unable, till now, to win.
EARLY in the contest it wal agreed that a
United States senator should not be
elected in open session until he had been
nominated by atwo.thirds vote in caucus
It was purely a democratic contest, as
there is but n republican in the legis-
lature, and he is a st. Augustine hold
over. The most Of the Farmers Alliance
members, however, were against Call.
Had the alliance been solid against him,
he could not have won. In this connec-
ton it may be proper to add that north
ern republicans who are cherishing the
belief that the Farmers Alliance move
ment in the south will cripple democratic
supremacy are doomed to disappoint-

THERE was a great deal of eHerves-
cence attending the meeting of the new
p~artyites at Cincinnati and a unanimity
that was painful. The platform, a very
"catchy" document, was handled very
cunningly, and debate on it's provisions
and consideration of it's demands were
cut off by the previous question. The
dement's Of the document were not
sn othered. The people who at first will
look with favor upon the Peoples party
will retrace their steps when they see and
understand the dangerous planks they
are standing upon. It will be a long
time before the intelligent people of this
country, irrespective of the political par
ties, will allow the adoption Of an unsafe
currency or the inauguration Of a gov
eminent loan shop. The history Of the
Argentine Republic, that now threatens
reputation, is not one that those who
have the welfare Of the United States at
heart will care to follow.

The ST. Paul Globe is agrieved because
Fargo used to be regarded as the divorce
metropolis of Dakota territory, but of
late, under the state regime, Sioux Falls
is gathering in the business. The me-
tropolis Of the Red has perhaps relied
too much on the progress picturing of
Col. Donan, while it's rival in the south
state has been cutting into this important
industry. 1t has among it's new resi-
dents a long list of persons of value as
advertisers, such as Mrs. Jas. G.. Blaine,
Jr., and Mrs. Eva Bloss, who comes from
London for a Dakota divorce. There are
multitudes of those of lesser note throng-
ing the thrifty young city by the falling
waters. The Dakota divorces are war
ranted to be good in any state or land
where any sort are current. But the

Sioux Falls, and it ehould be alert to SO.

until next term. There seems to be a
great deal of zone side is afraid and the
other dare not in these cases and the
people paying for the music. These
cases ought to have been tried and dis
posed of. These delays, besides being
expensive are not at all satisfactory to the
people or just to the clients. If Mr..
Healy has the wrong side of the case, the
people want to know it. If he has the
right side of the case, these postpone
ments work a injustice to him. The
TRIBUNE believes in justice and a speedy
determination of the rights of individu-
ais. 1t is hoped that no further contin-
uanc of these cases will be asked or
granted.

CENSUS bulletin No. GA shows the ma
tional, state and county indebtedness of
the United States, and the per capita in
debtedness not only of each state but of
foreign nations. The per capita debt of
the United States, including the nation
al, state and county indebtedness, in
1880, was $46.59. In 1890 it was but
$2O.46. The greatest foreign per capita
debt is in Queensland, $$33333.46. Great
Britain and Ireland has $87.79. France
has a debt of $116.35 per capita, an in
crease v 1880 Of about SO. North
Dakota has a per. capita state debt of
$3.78. Nineteen states have a larger
debt than this. Her per capita county
tax is $7.51, making a total per capita
state and county Indebtedness of $11.29.
The county indebtedness appears large
because Of the fact that the country is
still sparsely settled.

The meeting of the Worlds Fair
board at Grand Forks failed to appoint
an executive manager, and 1T transpires
that all is not al harmonious as it ought
to be on the board. The executive man.
ager is the most important position con-
nected with the enterprise, and it would
seem important that the selection be
made as soon as possible. The legisla-
ture made a mistake in making the ma
tional commissioners ex-oficio members
of the state board. The powers and du.
ties of the ex-oficios are uncertain, and a
conflict of opinions is likely to exist.

THE PEOPLES PARTY

Distasteful as it may be to the old po-
itical parties, and lightly as the ultra
partisan press may speak of it, the fact
is, a national party has been born and it

able extent in the future complications
of government. The Cincinnati meeting
was a larger and more representative
body than that which gave birth to the
republican party aud it cannot be
frowned down by scott mol vanquished

cinnati meeting means a third party, be-
cause neither of the old parties
can endorse or accept all
of the doctrines and demands
of the platform so unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically adopted. It means a
third party because it is a change that
promises much and thousands upon
thousands will grasp at that which pro-
misses relief. The promise may not be
fulfilled but this prediction will be met
with the prompt retort that. possibly
the peoples party will come as near full
filling its promises as have the
other national parties. AS if prosperity
depended entirely upon parties. Never
was there a greater fallacy. 1t is too
soon, however, to predict the outcome. 1t

The Mandan Times objects to the
paying of $125,000 to the Sioux Indians
now at Standing Rock agency for ponies
taken from them IN 1876. It argues that
the ponies we're taken away from them
as a war measure and that as the slaves
were emancipated as a war measured asks
why not pay for them? Not a parallel
case. For a century and over the gov
eminent of the United States has clev-
erly broken re-enacted and rebroken it's
treaty stipulations with the Indians. 1t
has gradually driven them back, sur
rounded them and subdued them by
force and appropriated their enormous
possessions. The advance of civilization
has necessitated this-necessitated the
frequent breaking of treaties-and that
perhaps is sufficient excuse. But the ZIG
campaign was the result of a very con.
%spicuous treaty violation. The Sioux
owned the Black Hills. Gold was discov.
cred and white Adventures rushed to
the 70 Ell Dorado. Az first the
government made a faint effort to repel
the invasion, but to no effect. Having

HENRY CLEws & Co.'s weekly Finan-

cial Review of Saturday says:
Since my last weekly advices, business
at the Stock Exchange has continued to
reflect the effect of the past and still con-
tinued large exports of gold, transactions
having been restricted and the tendency of
prices downward. AS the causes of the
extraordinary shipments of specie come to
be better understood, however, confidence
has improved and the impression is very
general that the drain is probably nearing
its end. We do not need to cross the At
lantic to find facts which go farther than
has been supposed towards accounting for
the recent extraordinary exports of gold.
Important causes lie much nearer home.
and are to be found mainly in the fact Of
the new tariff having induced an exeraor-
binary importation Of goods in an:
higher rates of duty. For months
before the Mckinley bill was adopted,
we had been importing at the rate of
$5,000,000 per month in excess of the pre-
viOus year, and during the seven months
from September 1st to April 1st the in
crease over a year previous was $4,000,000,
while the increase in the exports during
the same months was only $i6,OOO,OOO. In
addition to the adverse trade balance thus
accruirg. there was a large return of secur-
tiles. consequent on the Barring and South
American troubles, which has been
yarlously estimated between forty and
fifty millions 1t is thus easily apparent
how an adverse balance Of over fifty
millions may have arisen within the last
few months. Under ordinary circum-
stances this balance would have been in a
large measure tided over by European
engagements against our future crops, or
by allowing foreign balances to remain
here for use, or by purchases Of our securi-
ties; but, in the present case, Europe
needed hard cash to strengthen itself
against its recent financial ill fortunes and
to make remittances to Russia, and we
have therefore been called upon to pay
our foreign Indebtedness in gold. Our ex-
ports of gold would seem to have suficed
to settle this debt, and it therefore ap-
pears reasonable to expect that the drain
will soon cease. The fact that the Bank of
England did not advance it's rate on
Thursday carries an inference in that
direction. Russia appears to have salts
fled her wants, and the gold he has i'm
ported is likely to again find its way into
general circulation.

IT may or may not be that the Mis-

assur us that they ask for no better out.
look than they now possess. Good crops
mean not merely brisk business for our
business men, but emigration, railroads
