The State Fair.

Messrs. Sanford of Jamestown and
Will Of Bismarck, attended a meeting of
the state agricultural board, of which
they are members, at Grand Forks,
Tuesday, as provided by the law govern
ing the board. No other members were
present and organization was therefore
delayed for Lick of quorum. The leg
lslature failed to provide any appropria-
tion for an agricultural fair this year, and
consequently it is matter of uncertainty
whether one will be held or not At
least it is doubtful if Grand Forks gets
it. as the agreement to deed to the state
80 acres of land and to erect suitable
buildings without cost to the association
has never beer complied with. There Is
a move on foot to give Fargo a chance
to entertain the people of the northwest
by a big fair. If good crop should re-
suit it is believed successful fair can be
held some where in the state, without
legislative assistance.

Railroad StraWs.

The Darlington Independent don't
wait for the snow to 60 off to report rail-
road surveyors up in that country. It
says: 1T is rumored that the engineers
of the $500" railroad are at the upper
end Of Ariowwood lake surveying for a
crossing of the James river. There has
been no one from there this week so that
we have been unable to verify the re-
po't."
Bottineau Free Lance: The directors
of the Northern Pacific road have decided
to complete all extensions OF their lines
this wear. This means that the James
town & Northern, which now terminates
at Leeos, will be extended to the Turtle
mountains. We feel sure all they want
is an invitation to come to Bottineau.
Let us invite.

Eli Perkins on the Great Northern.
How few people, writes Eli Perkins,
in the Pittsburg Dispatch, begin
to comprehend the magnitude of
James J. Hills Great Northern railroad
Here is one man who has gone to work
and created $500 miles Of railroad in a
new country. What a citizen is James j.
Hill and what wealth and prosperity he
has brought to this republic. The peo-
pie should put his bronze monument IN
the capitol.
Where does the Great Northern rail-
road run to? It carries corn and porA
from Sioux City on the Missouri to Du.
luth on Lake Superior. 1t drains all the
wheat from Minnesota and North Da
kota south of manitoba into St. Paul and
Minneapolis. 1t brings silver and cop
DER from Helena and Butte. 1t brings
out the wheat from Aberdeen, Huron
and Glendale and the whole Jim river
country, and puts 1t down at Duluth or
st. Paul, and in a few months it will be
at Spokane Falls, Montana, and in the
Palouse country aod among the timber
ut Puget Sound. Wonderful road! And
this has been done by one mans energy
and brain. Mr.. Hill has not been in
Washington begging for an appropria-
ton. He took the old flag. pinned it
onto a locomotive, picked out the good
land on the continentand built a railroad
to 1t. He has added $780,
100000 to tho nations wealth.
Oakes Ames worked we'll, backed
by an appropriation, and Jay Cook went
down bravely, but this Hill, Hon. James
j. Hill, all alone, has actually spanned
| the continent with an iron road. He has
done it like king. He is king of
thought, and will and magnificent anlbi-
ton.

Wihaha Commandery, No. I, K. T.
Jamestown's most prominent fraterna]
organization, held another of their
periodical feasts Thursday. It was given
in honor Of G. w. Ingraham and F. G
Toplitf, and the newly elected officers OF
the order. The former attained their
last degree in Masonry last evening, thus
becoming Sir Knights-an event which
is frequently made the occasion Of little
social whirl at the conclusion of the reg
ular lodge room ceremonies. In this in
stance the meeting was an unIsaly
happy one, into which all entered heart
lily. The refreshments were served at
the Capital house, where Captain Ingra-
ham had arranged a very substantial
supper, and where i'll details were Sue
cessfully looked after by the ladies of the
hotel. Following the feast, numerous
stories and short talks RECALLED the men,

cation Thursday eve, at the close OF an in
terestinq session of the order. 1t Yas
the original intention to merely serve
light refreshments at the hall, upon the
conclusion of work in the Initiatory de-
gree, but Messrs. Vennum, Parker and
Nierllng, AS committee to arrange for
something OF the sort, treated the mem-
bers to an oyster supper instead. The
surprise was a gratifying one, indeed,
and the banquet was heartily enjoyed by
nearly fifty brothers. including half a
dozen ''anclent" odd Fellows. 1t was held
at Procter's restaurant, soon after eleven
o'clock. The spread was decidedly cred
liable in every way, both to Mr.. Proctor
and to the order.

THERE is not much doubt but
that the Hon. Spencer G Jones, OF
Montgomery county, the retiring
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, will
be elected State treasurer by the
Legislature, to succeed Mr.. Brown,
the present incumbent Such AN
appointm mt would not only be de
servinglYlbestowed, but would reflect
creditupon the State. No man is
better qualified for such an impor:
tant position, and no man would
give greater satisfaction to The peo-
pie. The State treasurer this year,
geographically speaking must come
from the Western Shore, and we
don't think county is more sntitlad
to the honor than Montgomery, or a
man more deserving the compliment
than the Hon. Spencer G. Jones.

A Picticlous Representation.


Government in Maryland, as we'll
as in the other States of the Union,
is supposed to be representative.
That is, it is supposed that repre-
sentatation in the General Assem-
bly, is based on the population, viz:
SO many people, 50 many represen-
tatiyes.
But in Maryland, while this is
theoretically supposed to be the
case, in practice it is quite other
wise. The population of the entire
State was, by the census Of 1890,
1,042, 800. The population of Bal
timore City was, by the same cen
sus, 434, 151, or nearly one-half
the population Of the entire state.
The General Assembly is composed
OF 1f6 members, that is, 90 mem
bers OF the House OF Delegates and
2G members of the Senate, and out
OF these 116 members the city of
Baltimore has twenty-one, viz: Is
members of the House and 3 of the
Senate, that is nearly one-half OF
the people of the State have less
than one fifth of the members Of
the General Assembly, and one vote
in the county districts, when cast
for members OF the Legislature
counts for more than five votes cast
by citizens Of Baltimore. This is
not true representative government
and,is certainly not true democracy.
The usual excuse given for this
unjust provision of the State Con-
stitution is that the people of the
city are not in the habit OF sending
as good men to the legislature as
the country districts, aud that the
oVershadowing influence of the city
delegatian would result in bad leg
islation for the entire State, were
the city to be allowei representa-
tiVes in proportion to its population.
The reasoning is rather absurd,
for, # carried TO its logical conclu-
sion, it would result in denying
large cities the right to govern
themselves and place them all un-
der the sway Of the rural districts.
La proportion to the population
cities are as we'll governed as coun
try communities, and money raised
by taxation is as we'll and econouii--
cally expended as in the counties,
and the representatives sent to the
General Assembly from Baltimore
will compare favorably in honesty
aud ability with these sent from the
country.
The delegation sent to the Gene.
raj Assembly from the city, this
session, should endeavor to have
submitted to the people an amend
ment to the constitution Of Mary
land securing to their constituents
proper aud just representation in
the legislature. The present repre-
sentation is neither equitable nor
democratic.

THREE IMPORTANT SUPREME
Court CAsEs.-At the October
term of the Supreme Court three
important questions will come be-
fore it for decision. The first of
these is the case Of importers who
contest the validity Of the McKin-
ley law. They claim that the bill
signed by the President was not
the bill passed by Congress, and
that the reciprocity section violates
the Constitution in that it delegates
the power to the President to ad-
NIT free Of duty certain commodi-
ties from other foreign States &C
cepting the principles of reciproci-
ty, and to impose q duty on similar
commodities from other foreign
States-of 2 cents per pound on
sugar, on coffee 8 cents per pound,
and on hides II cents per pound.
During the discussion of the bill
three of the most distinguished. re-
publican lawyers in the United
States Senate expressed the opinion
that the reciprocity section, with
the grant of powers to the Presi-
dent which only Congress can right
ly exercise, was unconstitutional.
This point is now to be decided by
the Supreme Court. The next
question that will come before the
court viii be the legality of Speak
er Reeds method of counting a
quorum, and. finally to pass upon
the legality Of the sugar bounty
section, which is also declared to be
unconstitutional. All these points
are important as the decision upon
them viii materially affect legisla-
tion and legislative methods in the
future. Baltimore SUN.
