SENATOR PEFfER'S WORDS.
A Loyal Appeal for All the Peoples De-
mands.

A Loyal Appeal for All the Peoples De-
mands.
United States Senator PETER, who was
unable to attend the meeting of the SUI
preme council of the N. F. and |. u. at
Indianapolis, addressed letter to that
body. from which the following is taken:
If were with you in the flesh, as l
am in the spirit, | should only elaborate
and emphasize what can be said briefly
in few written lines. Mature reflection
has strengthened my conviction that the
reforms demanded by the Farmers AL
lance and other bodies of organized
workers are not only necessary to pro-
mote the general welfare, but that they
are vital, and that no party or candidate
for public Office ought to be supported
by any of our people unless such party
or candidate espouses the principles we
advocate. Men do not achieve success
by supporting their enemies.
We may not have chosen the best
means for carrying our doctrines into
effect. They will bear further consider
alton. AS to them we are not tenacious,
except as they serve to illustrate the
principle in issue. We are good listen
ers, and are ready to receive suggestions
by way of amendment from any quar-
ter We want only what is due us, and
would adept the best, simplest, most ex-
peditiOus means, no matter by whom
proposed. But our foundation is solid.
We plant ourselves firmly there and
challenge the world.
hope the council will emphasize our
earnestness in this matter. Land, labor,
transportation and the circulation of
money are the corner stones on which
we build From land and labor come
all the commodities on which we sub
sst and in which we trade; through
channels of transportation commerce is
developed and maintained, and by the
free uEe Of money we may attain the
highest form of civilization. The use of
the soil and of the best means of hand
ling it's fruits are matters of the greatest
concern to all human kind Means of
transportation must be brought under
public control. and money must be made
the ready servant of trade. These things,
repeat, are fundamental-they are vital
The dangerous influences of concen-
trated wealth can be arrested only by
the legislative assertion of the peoples
right to regulate their own affairs in the
common interest of all the people.
Those things which concern us as indi-
vidual citizens alike are matters Of
public concern: the peoples interest in
them is common interest, and there is
no way to protect it safely but by loyal
enactment expressing the public will.
We do not expect final success today
Or tomorrow. Opinions and prejUdices
of centuries cannot be changed or re-
moved in week. But we must begin
the work and continue until victory is
won. Put these things in issue before
the people and keep them there. Main
tam the fight at whatever cost.
Believing that the power which is ar
rayed against us is in supreme control
OF party machinery, | am of opinion
that the time has come for all workers
TO unite in y new, separate and indie
pendent political movement which will
face the people and fight for them. Re-
spectfuly. w. A. PETER.

DR.. F. S. LANGDoN is quoted in the
Casselton Republican as saying that
"Mandan is prospecting and Bismarck is
going down. People are leaving the
capital city every week to locate else
where" Wonder what Bismarck ever
did to this man Langdon that he should
SANDER the capital city in this manner?
Bismarck never was on a better founda-
ton than she is to-day, and has now re-
covered from the reaction which set in
after the boom Of '83. If Mr.. Lapgdon
would come to Bismarck and endeavor
to rent a house, he would soon be con
WINGED that there are more people CON-
ing in than Leaving the capital city.
There are very few desirable houses to
rent at the present time. A year ago there
we're plenty of them. People are leav-
ing the city every day, but they are drum
mers who are taking bigger orders for
goods than usual.

ANENT the typesetting machine con-
test to be held in Chicago this week, in
order to decide on the relative merits Of
the several machines now being manu-.
featured, a dispatch from that city says:
''It is confidently believed that in the
near future some Of these wonderful
t%ypesetting machines will be developed
to such an extent that the news of the
world will be put in type direct from the
telegraph wires. This will be accom-
plished substantially as follows: The
operator receiving the news will manipu-
late the keyboard of the typesetter as he
now does the typewriter, but in place of
making copy for the compositors he will
actually be putting the news in type,
simultaneously with it's conveyance
by sound from the telegraph instru-
ment."

TIE people of Omaha are evidently

TIE people of Omaha are evidently in
a quandary as to what to do with the
leaders of the mob which lynched a
negro on the streets Of that city recently.
1t is a sad reflection upon a civilized
people when they have to resort to
violence to mete out justice to miscre-
ants. The laws are all right, but justice
is cheated 50 often that even law-abiding
citizens are driven to desperation and
take the lives of wretches whom they
fear will escape the gallows. In speak
ing about the Omaha affair the World
Herald says:
Justice is puzzled. A whole COM
munity has broken the law and commit
ted a crime. But communities cannot
be punished like individuals. Justice
knows this, but justice also feels that she
cannot let the matter pass unpoticed.
She must satisfy decency; she must OBJ
serve propriety; she must make a show
of indicating the law.
How shall she do it?
We do not know. Whatever Justice
does she must be just. She must not
attempt to make a few men scapegoats
for the whole community-or at least
for several thousands. Better do moth
ing than be unjust and cowardly in the
v!!ndication of law.

BlsMARCk WEEKLY TRIBUNH: FRIDAY OCT. Is 1891.

of crops in Europe will cause there stag
nation of trade and discourage %specula.
ton, thereby lessening the demand for
money. Political, financial and none
tary affairs in Europe are all in q COM
plicated and delicate condition. Hence,
it is Impossible to accurately forecast
their outcome; so that, however superior
the inducements of American securities
to foreigners, it is quite within the range
of possibilities that they may not be able
to avail themselves Of such advantages
as freely as we expect. In other words
it will not do to count too strongly upon
foreign support in event of a further rise.
Money in London has been quoted at
5@6 per cent. for carrying American
stocks, which caused increased orders
to sell. That the Bank of England did
not raise the rate of discount was prob
ably due to a desire to keep foreign
money markets free of disturbance dur
ing the placing of the Russian loan.
The home monetary situation is salts
factory. This weeks bank statement
will be made on rising averages, and
ought therefore to be a favorable one.
Owing to prudent Treasury manage.
ment and expansion in the circulation,
together with plentiful gold imports and
the strong position of the associated
banks, there is little prospect of extreme
stringency in money. Enough and to
spare seems probable for crop and trade
requirements, though the demand from
the latter quarter may subsequently be-
urgent enough to stitfen rates and
so affect speculation.

THE PEOPLES CONVENTION.

At the convention held Saturday af-
ternoOn to nominate a candidate for
county commissioner for the second COM
missioner district, Mr.. w. S. Moorhouse,
the present incumbent, was the almost
unanimous choice of the convention,
there beirg only two dissenting votes.
The convention was a representative
gathering of business men and farmers,
but as the farmers are taking advantage
of the present fine weather for threshing
and blowing, the attendance was not as
large as it otherwise would have been.
There were no cl1ques or factions. The
nomination of Mr.. Moorhouse is a case
where the office seeks the man-not of
the man seeking the office. The new
election law allows a citizen the privilege
of becoming a candidate for an Office
if he can secure 100 names
to a petition requesting the auditor to
place his name upon the ballots. MI.
Moorhouse did not avail himself of this
privilege to assure his candidacy for the
Office, but awaited the action of the peo-
pie. If they wanted him to represent
them as their commissioner, he was will
ing to serve them as faithfully as he has
hitherto done. But if they decided to
place some other name upon the tickets
and elect that person to the office, he
would gladly step down and out if some
good citizen was elected. The almost
unanimous nomination of Mr.. Moor
house is a complete vindication of his
actions while a member of the county
board.
The platform adopted by the owen
ton was ECONOMY in county affairs.
When called upon for a speech, the
nominee responded by placing him
self squarely upon the platform adopted
by the convention.

AS WILL be seen by the notice pub
lished in another column, a meeting of
the republican state central committee is
called for November 10th, at Fargo. The
object of the meeting is for consultation
with a view to unity and solidify the
party and put the party organization in
better shape for the campaign of 1892.
If this meeting will make peace and har-
mony among the leading republicans Of
the state, it will have accomplished some
thing much needed. The republicans of
this state cannot afford to carry on an
internecine warfare among themselves
such as certain members of the party
who ought to know better, have
been indulging in.

the head of the Butte Miner for but q
short time, but he has already bright
ened up it's columns, and made it look
like a new paper.
A PERTINENT POINT.

APRoPos of the recent talk about con-
stitutionality Of certain state laws, the
TRIBUNE is reminded of an effort which
was made during the constitutional con-
vention of North Dakota to incorporate
into the state constitution an article Civ
ing the legislature the power to refer to
the supreme court any or all measures
which came up for consideration by the
legislature. The article in question was
introduced by Hon. E. A. Williams and
and able plea made for it, but it was re-
jected by the convention. If this article
had been Incorporated in the constitu-
ton, it would have been of incalculable
benefit to the state in the matter of saw
ing the enormous expense which incurs
by testing the constitutionality of
measures passed by the legislature.
Suppose, for instance, a bill was passed
which effected the interests of any cor
poration in the state. The corporation
would fight the bill by attacking it's con
s~titutionality. The matter would go
through the various forms of litigation
until it reached the supreme court of
the state. This being ythe court Of
last resort, the decision given by it would
have to be accepted, whether right or
wrong. So by referring to the supreme
court measures pending in the legisla-
ture, and by the court declaring them
constitutional, they would become
unquestionable laws when placed upon
the statute books.
AS it stands now, bills are referred to
the attorney general, as the legal adviser
of the state. If the legislature acts upon
his advice in the passage of a certain
bill, it does not make the measure passed
an incontrovertible law. The supreme
court may declare the act unconstitutional
and thus annul the attorney generals
opinion.
The South dakota constitution con-
tains an article which gives the governor
the authority to refer to the supreme
court for opinions. 1t reads as follows:
"SEc. ID. The governor shall have the
authority to require the opinion of the
judges of the supreme court upon i'm
portant questions of law involved in the
exercise of his executive powers, and
solemn occasions"
