The Fargo Argus is stirring up the
dry bones in the Great Northern
railroad camp over the loose way ir
which they do business. The
Great Northern people do not seen
to care whether they do business OF
not, there is nothing accommodating
about them, and travelling men are
loud in their denunciations of the
one horse way. they do business.
Over at Hope they get kind of an
cient looking train three times week
if the train can get back to its des-
tination SO as to be able to return.
If farmers want cars they have to
take it out in wanting. It is aggra-
waiting to live in a fine section of
country through which rattle-trap
of road runs. If our Hopeites
lived on the line N. P. with its
daily train service, lots of cars on
demand, excellent facilities and
courteous employees, life would not be
a burden to them. The old North
era Pacific line leads them all.

The silver. Question,

One of the hardest fought batties Of
the congress which expired March 4th
last was over the matter of the free
coinage of silver. Outside it was Wall
Street and eastern capitalists against
the mining states and the Farmers
Alliance. MIR. Cleveland put himself
on record as opposed to free coinage
other lending democrats favsrlt Other
parties are as much divided, and it
promises to be- an ugly question for the
politicians to handle in harmony. How
ever this agitating may result, the pee
pie will find that gold, silver and paper
dollars all have the same purchasing
power when applied to the purchase of
a ticket over "The Burlington" and Re-
publicans, Democrats Farmers Alliance
silver men and anti-silver men all unite
in pronouncing it the popular and
tavorlte route as it goes everywhere.

Spring is here. TIE seeder has
been brought out and farmers will
soon be putting the golden cereal un
der the soil. The indications for a
good crop are very fair. The ground
is in elegant condition with lots Of
moisture, and large increase in
acreage will be seeded in Griggs
county this year. Farmers feel some
what encouraged this spring and they
shy their castors into the ring for
crop or failure. Let us hope it
will be crop and that every gran
ary in the country will be filled to
overfowing this fall. Unless all
signs fail this year will be the turn
ing point from bad to better.

Q,1arto-Centcnial.

The quarto centennial anniversary of
the organization of the G. A. r. was
celebrated last Saturday evening in
the courthouse i'll fitting manner by
the members of Frank M. Rockwell
Post No. %. The old veterans with
their families and a few friends had got
ten up programme suitable for the
occasion. Theexerclses were opened by
two fine selections from the band and
was followed by prayer by Chaplain
Purinton and the reading of general
orders by Adjutant Harry Clarke.
Then the young folks, Misses Florence
Haskell, Nellie Brown, May and Emma
johnson, and Lewis Brown and Frank
Haskell sang "Just Before the Battle
Mother" They did this SO we'll that the
audience gave them hearty encore
to which they very fittingly responded.
Comrade johnson was then called on
to give history of Post No. %. He
did so and in winding up his neat little
speech he said: though our Post is COM
posed of men from Prussia, from
Norseland, from England and other for
eign countries. yet we are all American
citizenss and stood elbow to elbow in
the great cause SO dear to the people of
this country-American liberty and the
lifting up Of the grand old fag-the

sang the ''Sword of Bunker Hllln in her
usual sparkling manner and received a
thunderous encore. She responded
with (" Tlamp, Tramp, Tramp the Boys
are Marching, everybody joining in
the chorus. Cora Purinton then nicely
gave a recitation entitled "Grand Army
of the Dead". Comrade A. Haskell
then followed with brief history of
the part his regiment took in the late
war, and was followed by Rev. c. w.
Collinge. who made a neat little speech
in which he eulogized the Grand Army
bows for the stand they took for right
and principle in behalf of their country's
honor. The band at the conclusion of
this speech again broke forth with
fine selection which was
heartily received. The young
folks again sang piece en-
titled, "Sherman's March to the Sea-"
and were followed by recitation by
Mrs, P. r. Trubshaw, "The Soldiers

The Tariff Is fhe Issue,

Time enough has elapsed since the fall
elections to admit Of calm judgment con-
corning the results. And the sooner our
leading men and the masses read calmly
these results and understand thein-their
relations to antecedent event and proba-
BILE relation to tho futuTe-the better for
all concerned.
Most Of the leading papers and politi-
clans have given uttersnce to their esti-
mates of their results and what they sig
nify for the future. Most of those who
have spoken have spoken well, and with
greater or less degree Of accuracy.
In our judgment the results show, az
has been pertinently remarked by almost
all the Democratic and Republican papers,
that the tariff is not q dead issue. 1t has
not been a dead issue for forty years. 1t
has more than once been crowded into the
background for awhile: but, Like all
questions that involve principle of JUS
tice and equity as between different
classes Of people in the same country, it
will again and again rise up to plague the
government until it is settled right.
The Democratic party must return to
its doctrine of tariff for revenue only,
or as near to free trade as is possible. 1t
cannot win before the people in a contest
on the tariff where there is less than Is
per cent. in the ad vdtorem tax actually
in operation under Republican admin
istration and that proposed by the Mills
bill.-Cotto7s Plant.

A Horse Snapper HAD.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, Nov. 22.-
Yesterday afternoon ex-Councilman Josh
Mackenzie filed the necessary papers in
the clerks Office for suit against the
Charlottesville Journal for $1,000 dam
ages. It seems that q few weeks ago the
Journal published story of "hoss'' IN
which Mackenzie figured, alleging that
he bought horse that had no teeth, q
fact which the old gentleman failed to
discover until after the trade had been
contaminated. In order to sustain life
and health it was necessary to feed the
animal soup. It was alleged the horse
preferred oyster soup above all others as
generally dined upon nectar of bean. He
nowalleges in his complaint that his peace
OF mind is gone, his reputation as horse
buyer is ruined, and that he is an object
of ridicule wherever he goes, and is
pointed out by friend and foe as the
only owner of a bean-soup-eating horse.

The views expressed by "a Farmer
in the Advocate of late issue, which we
reproduced in these columns, and for
which he has been censured by corres-
pondent of the same paper, are strictly
orthodox not only from purely Demo
cratic stand point but from purely Al
lance stand point as well. II will be re-
membered that ga Farmer" took the po-
sition that the tariff question was the
most important subject before the Amer
lean people, as to it was due the most
greivous burdens laid upon the people.
Therefore, no other question should be
allowed to divert attention from it, not
withstanding the National Economists
declaration that there was nothing in the
tariff question, and that 1t served the
purpose of politicians only in keeping
alive sectional hatred and animosity.
Secretary T. F. Nllman, of the National
Alliance, addressed the Alliance OF Indi-
annapolis last week, and said the three
'T's," viz, tariff, trust and transportat ton,
were the burdens bearing heaviest upon
the people (all imposed by the Republic
cans,) and of these the present tariff was
the most burdensome, and therefore the
most iniquitous. He suggested as reme-
dies three "Cs," viz, change the tariff,
crush trusts, control transportation, all of
which is solid Democratic doctrine, un-
less he meant to control transportation by
ownership of the railroads. Secretary
Tillman knows that the primary and es-
sential step towards crushing trusts"
must be to s'change the tariff" as it is the
tariff that makes trusts possible. We
think the position taken by ga Farmer
and we are sure there are hundreds of
others who maintain like position-is
that he will be good Alliance man only
80 long as he can be a good Democrat at
the same time; that he will not tolerate
independent or exclusive political action
or third partyism in the Alliance; that
DR.. Macune cannot dictate politics or
policies to him; that be will do his own
thinking; that he is o Democrat always
and everywhere. ga Farmer" stands on
safe ground,

- Meringen, the Swiss village which
has been destroyed by fire, met with
similar misfortune in 1879. Siuco that
date, native Of the village tells cor
respondent, the precautions against fire
have been extraordinary. Whenever
the wind blew from dangerous quarter
smoking was forbidden, and at dusk,
with few exceptions, all fires were order
cd out, the village smithy was stilled,
the bakery ovens had to be damped
down, and the shops would be beseiged
with customers anxious to buy what
bread they could. The reason for this
was the destitution to which the inhabi-
tants were reduced after the last fire, and
fears are entertained that the consequent
ces may be equally disastrous now.
