Secretary of State Flittie was in
the city yesterday, rnd made the
Tribune friendly call. Speaking
of the sale of Traill county school
lands at Hillsboro Tuesday, Mr..
Flittie said:
There was an active demand for
the lands and much more could have
been disposed Of. The highest price
paid was $4,000 per acre; the aver
age $4,000, and that figure would
have been increased, only that bid
ding on certain sections was known
to be useless as the parties who up
to the present time had the lands un-
der cultivation would have paid any
price rather than part with them.
l think this average will exceed by
ten dollars per acre that of any other
county. 1t makes me indignant
when 1 think of the slander and de-
famation to which this state has been
subjected to. Unauthorized persons
travelling about soliciting aims and
indiscriminate blackguarding has so
advertised us abroad that people
from this state are looked upon as
paupers, and the state itself associa-
ted with naught but poverty and fail
ure of crops. The western portion
Of our state is all right. Our legisla-
ture should abrogate the herd law
for that section. It fetters people
there in the business of stock raising,
destined soon to be the principle in
dustry, and for which that country is
most adaptible. There the best and
most nutritious grasses in the world
are to be found in abundance, and
ere long those prairies will be cover
ed with horses, cattle and sheep.
Yes, this portion of the state is the
richest and most productive agricul-
tural country in the world, but it will
take some time before this truth is
impressed upon the outside world
The croaker has done much tina,
lneeds undoing.-Mayville Tribune

TarifaTax.

"The tariff is tax-the tariff is a
tax-the tariffs a taxi" is the song
the misguided democrats paper al
ready commences to sing.
You admit you are not for free
trade, but for moderate tariff-or a
moderate tax. Your platform differs
with that ofthc republican party sim
ply in wishing to take the tariff off of
wool to put it on sugar. If you are
going to shrek Cleveland's shib-
boleth of free trade doctrines which
cost him his election in 1888? 1t is
for the free trade democrat to sing
this song, not your conservative, half
republican democrat.
The tariff is not a tax although, in
cidently, it may become a tax. If
we have duty on jack knives that
keeps Sheffield cutlery out yet by ac-
tive internal competition we may get
an American knife very much cheap
er than an English knife without the
duty. A little thought and a little
inquiry will convince anybody, but
blind follower of the stuffed
prophet, that Mr.. Cleveland's pet
campaign expression is all poppy
cock.
If our democratic papers would
determine whether they are Cleve-
land democrats or Poland China
democrats it would save great deal
of "argufyin.'"
If a man does not pin his faith to
free trade, he ought to be content
with a moderate protective tariff
with a reciprocity clause, and join
the army of progress, instead Of
holding back in the traces and. kick.

The ST.. Paul and Minneapolis pa
pers have already commenced to run
politics in North Dakota for the pres
idential campaign. The latest they
have got slated is that on consid-
Grafton of the distribution of patron
age in the state, Senator Hansbrough
is to deliver over Harrison delegates
for the next national convention.
This is ridiculous in the extreme.
Mr.. Hansbrough may be very pop
ular man and all that, but he does
not, and never did, carry the votes
of this state in his vest pocket, and
we do not think that he imagines tina,
he does for one moment. It is a
we'll known fact that North Dakota
is strong Blaine state, and if il
comes to choices between Blaine
and Harrison, so far as North Dako
ia is concerned, the latter viii
get badly left. The Plumed Knigh
is more popular to-day in the heart'
of the masses, than any other republi
I can in the United States. Wait un
til 1892 and see if we are not right

TWO IsEAUTIFUI.
YOUNG GIRLS,
Who Will C1.e,ltc q Fur.or,e
in Newport this
Summer.


Newport is to have a sensation this
summer.
1t is automatically stated that the
beautiful and celebrated daughters Of
Lord Duflerln, Beatrice aud Adelaide,
are to grace tins famous resort with
their presence this coming season.
1t will be remclnb nbercd that Beatrice's
beautiful dark eye have played havoc
lately with the heart of Albert, tha
eldest son of the Prince of Wales.
What it will amount to is as yet mat
ter OF conjecture in England. The
young ladies are acknowledged to DC
the most beautiful in all Europe, and
there will be not little excitement in
the hearts of our American bellies over
their coming. They are exquisite dress
ers, and thir customs will be marvels
Of curiosity. Unlike most ladies, they.
know exactly what is suited to them.
Some time ago thev sent for the chief
designer of the Paris house of'rHE NEW
YORK AND PARIS YOUNG LADIES' FASH
ION BAZAAR, and selected forty costumes
each, the cost of which will amount to
thousands of pounds.
Through the courtesy of these young
ladies we have been permitted to copy.

most exquisite custumes, which appear
as figures and 4 on the colored plates
of the June number of this magazine

has issued, in the name of the American

that the Prince may follow the young

The Griggs County Courier takes
The Alert to task for telling the truth
about the crops before the last gen.
eral rain, instead Of magnifying and
exaggerating the wheat prospects of
this state, in the interest of the wheat
buyer and not the wheat seller. Be-
cause rain occurred 10 day ago
when it was needed, people like our
hopeful Cooperstown friend imagine
they see harvest in progress, with a
90 bushel yield in every farmers field.
One swallow does not make a sum-
mer, neither does one rain make a
wheat crop.-Jamestown Alert.
