THE experience of Florida and nearly
all the states in the election of United
States senators during the past few years
suggests in a very forcible and %convinc-
ing the necessity of a change
a change from the complex and corrupt
to the simple and pure. The present
mode is altogether too expensive to the
people of the state at large and the indi-
vidual most in interest. The position of
United States senator has become
one wherein money rather than brains
and integrity is a requisite to success.
The legislature, on which devolves the
responsibility of electing a United States
senator, does not feel that responsibility
to any great extent nowadays. It is
the responsibility" of the candidate
that the average legislator looks after.
Yes, let us have a change in the manner
of electing a United States senator. An
election by the people would be a vast
improvement on the present system of
election by Doodle.

CENSUS bulletin No. So, giving some
additional school statistics, shows that
in the percentage of gain III population
and school enrolment from 1880 to
1890 North Dakota leads all other states
followed closely by South Dakota. In
North Dakota the percentage in increase
of population was 395.O5 and in public
school enrolment 722.77. In South Da-
kota the population increase wac 234.6O
and school enrolment 563.36. Washing
ton and Montana also show rema :kable
increases, but nothing like North Dako-
ia. Vermont shows an increase of popu-
lation of only four-tenths per cent. and a
loss i'll school enrolment of 1912 per
cent. Maine also. shows a decrease in
school enrolment of 1888 and an increase
in population of only 1.87. New Hamp-
shire also shows a loss in school enroll
ment, and the great state of New York
shows an increase Of only 1888 per cent.
and Pennsylvania only 1.59. Compared
with other states in almost every partic-
ular, North Dakota shines, but when it
comes to educational matters, there is a
particularly brilliant lustre.

The Fargo Republican thinks that, if
the farmers alliance of North Dakota
had for its chief representative some
such a man as Hon. I. G. Wade of James,
town, instead of the wild-eyed Walter,
the organization to-day would stand
head and shoulders above where it does,
in the estimation of the masses. The
feeling is very general that Walter has
used the organization, so far as lay in his
power, as a political machine, to boost
himself into place. Be it said to the
credit of the alliance, however, the or
ganization which he misrepresents is
aware of the fact that Walter has a So
we're case of office itch, and it will not be
used as a cats paw for his benefit. Muir
measured his strength in the alliance
dnring the senatorial contest-two votes,
being such staunch alliance men as SEN
ators Fuller and LaMoure.

APPLICATION has been made to Gov
ernor Burke for the pardon of Thomas
Facey, 10y confined in the p%enitentiary
on a life sentence. Facey is a man over
sixty years of age. A little over four
years ago, the old man, then a resident
of Crystal, Pembina county, had a quar-
rel with his son and during the strife, a
revolver in the possession of the father
went off, the ball striking the son in a
vital part and killing him. The father
was tried, convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life, Though
there we're many extenuating circum-
stances presented at the time. it aver be-
ing intimated strongly that the old gen.
tleman was weak-minded and childish
and further that the revolver was dis
charged accidentally during the scufle.
Judge Mcconnell, who presided at the
time of the trial, has written an interces.
sorry letter to the governor. and the jury
who convicted the old man are of opin-
ion that an injustice is being done the
old gentleman by further restraining him
of his liberty. The matter has been
taken under advisement by the executive.

Toronto.

The Peoples Bank, of Wahpeton, has
made application to the secretary of state
for a charter, stating in their articles
that the capital is 81, 900. The provi-
sions of section 6 of the bankruptcy act,
which fixes the amount of capital re-
quired, appear to be lacking, in towns
the size of Wahpeton-1,100 inhabitants.
The statute reads:
in towns containing 500 inhabitants
or less, with a less capital than
SIS 900; in towns of over 500 and not over
1000 inhabitants, with a less capital thar
$4,000, in towns of over 1000 and not over
5000 inhabitants, the capital shall not be
less than 100000"
1t appears from this that the act does
not fix what amount of capital banks in
towns from 1000 to 1000 population
should have. The ~incorporators of the
new Peoples bank evidently tried to
carry out the ratio Of a thousand dollars
capital for every hundred people. At
torney General Spencer, however, holds
that 100000 is required, being the next
sum mentioned after $4,000. It is evil
dent at a glace that the law is defective
in this particular and towns of smaller
population are required to have as much
capital as the larger ones. The theory
of the Jaw seems to be a sort of mathe-
NAUTICAL progression of capital in the
ratio of residents, but Wahpeton being
over the thousand limit must skip up to
the two thousand figure. 1t is strange this
incongruity should have passed two ses-
sions without being fixed, but law is law
and it stands this way and it will for
two years at least.

The annual convention of the National
Educational association of the United
States for the present year will be held
at Toronto, Canada, July l4th to 18th,
and as it will on this occasion be of an
international character, it promises to be
the most successful meeting of the series.
Most of the railroads have agreed to give
half-rate, plus $500 membership fee to all
who attend the meeting, this rate being
open to the public generally as we'll as
the teachers. The Canadians are max
ing great preparations to welcome and ell
terrain the visiting teachers, and numer-
Gus cheap excursions are being arranged
to all important points on the great lakes,
the st. Lawrence, and the seaside, after
the convention, which will afford to
teachers the best opportunity for enjoy
ing their summer holidays they have ev-
or had. The official bulletin, containing
programme for the meeting, railway ar
engagements, and all other particulars, is
ready, and will be sent to any one desir-
ing it, on their dropping a post card to
Mr.. H. J. Hill, secretary local committee,

THE Devils Lake News prints the fol-

lowing:
The criticisms OF the action of Governor
Burke in vetoing the warehouse bill have
been unjust, it seems to us, so tar as the
constitutiOnality Of the bill is concerned.
He would not be worthy of his position if,
while believing in the unconstitutionallty
of the bill, he should let it become law
for the purpose of judicial experiment.
The only question left for us to consider
is the bona tides of the governor. Now, If
it should appear that the bill was in his
hands a sufficient length of time prior to
the adjournment of the legislature to ena-
bic him to examine fer defects and to re-
turn for amendment. and he neglected to
do so, then a presumption of bad faith
would arise. Will the Grand Forks Her.
aid, which has taken up the question so
earnestly, inform its readers as to the time
the bill was placed in the hands of the gov
ernOr?
The TRIBUNE can answer the question.
The bill was delivered to the executive
less than n hour before the legislature
adjourned sine die. It was one of nearly
a hundred rushed into the governors
hands the last night and no power on
earth could have returned it in time for
action by the two bodies. The governor
himself states that he did not know there
was such a bill until he reached it sever
al days after.

The Fargo Argus suggests that it
would be a good idea to have the en-
campment of the militia in that city the
same time as the firemen's tournament.
Speaking of an encampment, the matter
will be decided next Monday, Governor
Burke having called Colonel Creel, Ma
jor Makee, Lieutenant Colonel Miller
and Adjutant General Bentley together
for consultation then. It is argued in
some quarters that the militia boys are
not in shape for a gathering this year,
by reason of barely holding their organi-
cation tog ether the first year of state
hood. Others think that fact is just why
the June reunion should be held.

WHILE the TRIBUNE would have had
the relief committees from Dickey and
Mcintosh counties remain at home and
the money that an encampment costs the
state expended in the drouth stricken
regions instead of for military encamp-
ment this year, it recognizes the fitness
of the place selected for the encamp-
ment and congratulates Devils Lake
upon the success Of her claims. It is
hoped the encampment week will be a
pleasant one, and that all the benefits
possible to attend such a gathering may
rest upon the militia, of which organic
alton the whole state feels justly proud.

The city council, in cutting the gar
ment to suit the cloth, has found it
necessary to discontinue the lighting of
the streets by electricity. The people
will regret the necessity of this stroke of
economy, but it seems to be a necessity.
When the city received $500 a year for
liquor licenses it was enabled to main
tain some of the luxuries of life, but now
they must be content with the necessi-
ties. It is possible that a large annual
saving may be effected in other direc-

as now fixed cannot be changed. If SO,
it is a pity. The outgoing council failed

The monthly meteorological summary
as printed elsewhere shows April of this
year to have been the warmest on record,
" 1889, which was 10 higher. The
rainfall is above the average of the rec
ords for the past five years. Sixty-eight
hundredths of an inch in 1890 as against
2.4O inches this year. Speaking of an
"inch of rain," few people have a defn-
tie idea of what is meant, and it may aid
such to follow this calculation: An acre
is equal to 6,272,640 square inches; an
inch deep Of water on this area will be
as many cubic inches of water, which, at
227 to the gallon, is $4,000 gallons. This
immense quantity of water will weigh
100000 pounds, or 100 tons. One-hun-
dredth COY of an inch alone is
equal to a ton Of water to the acre.
Following this out, Burleigh county
contains in round number 100000
acres. A total precipitation of 2.4O
inches during the month means that in
the past thirty days 100000 tons Of
water fell in this county alone. Let us
give Superintendent McCabe Of the
Northern Pacific road the job of hauling
this in on his line, same as he now does
from Bismarck to Sterling, for the use
Of their engines. Allowing twenty tons
to 9 q we have 10000 car loads.

The United States Interstate

IHE United States Interstate COM
MERGE commission will hold a meeting
IN Fargo, to-day, to take evidence
in the case of e. M. Raworth against the
Northern Pacific railroad company.
This action was commenced in Septem-
Der 1889. The facts which led to it's in
stitution are these: Prior to July, 1889,
the rate on sugar from San Francisco to
Fargo was IS cents per hundred pounds.
The rate to Minneapolis and st. Paul
was the same. About this time, at the
instance of the wholesale merchants Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, the rate to
Fargo was raised to 81 cents, while the
rate to Minneapolis and st. Paul re-
NAMED unchanged, making a discrimi-
nation against Fargo of 80 cents. The
rate from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Fargo being 80 cents per hundred
pounds, the reason for this change is
plain to see. The difference between
the rate from San Francisco to Fargo,
and from San Francisco to st. Paul and
Minneapolis is just 80 cents. So under
the new rate it is possible for a
wholesale merchant in st. Paul
or Minneapolis to ship sugar
from San Francisco and then reship it to
Fargo at exactly the same cost as a
wholesale merchant in Fargo could ship
the same article direct from San Francis
co. This discrimination on a staple pro-
duct like sugar is absolutely destructive
ofbusiness. It is the rate, however, which
is now in force and has been in force for
nearly two years. It a be justified only
upon the theory that the wholesale mer-
chants of Minneapolis and st. Paul have
an inalienable right to do the wholesale
business of North Dakota. It is utterly
unjustifable that q railroad should
charge for transporting a carload Of SUI
gar from San Francisco through Fargo
to St. Paul and from st. Paul back to
Fargo at exactly the same rate as it
charges for transporting q carload of su-
gar from San Francisco to Fargo direct.
This discrimination against North Dako-
to is all the more calling in view of the
fact that the towns OF South Dakota are
given the same rates on sugar shipped
from the Pacific coast as ST. Paul, Min
neapolis and Chicago.
It is to be hoped the commissioners
will view it in the sam light as mer-
chants Of the state and compel q resto-
ration Of it's old tariff. Until the time
comes when Dakota wholesalers are in
9 position to supply the state at large
we will never have any cities Of CONNER
DIAL Importance, and no state can expect
