E. L. SMITH, who for the past eight
years has been the guide of the able
Mayville Tribune, has sold the same to
Messrs. David and Eugene Larin. The
new proprietors are said to be newspa-
per men of experience and will undoubt-
eddy maintain the previous high stand
ard of the paper. Mr.. Smith closes his
vale in the following words: MAY all
friends have long years of health
and prosperity in this glorious land of
North Dakota, and when the final sum-
o comes to Join the innumerable
caravan that moves 30 mysteri ously to
that bourne whence no traveller returns
may Saint Peter with a smile Of welcome
be ready at the Golden Gate and hand
every North Dakotan a check good for
all time to come and the freedom of the
home over there"

The supreme court of the United
States meets on Monday next, to an
nounce decisions, after which it will ad-
journ to the October term. More cases
have been disposed of during this term
than any other term in the history of the
court, the number already being 553, aud
the decisions to be handed down Monday
will probably increase this to 600. The
organization of the new intermediate ap-
pellate courts is expected to relieve the
supreme court of two-thirds of it's work
and thus allow it to reach cases pending
for several years.

BISHOP STANLEY is reported ae saying
to a committee of Fargo citizens that if
that place would give him a bonus of
$4,000, he would at once remove the To-
cation Of the Catholic Sec from James,
town to shat city. Among the advan-
tages that Fargo would acquire by the
removal would be the establishment of
the Catholic training school and the
erection OF a $4,000 cathedral. Tt is ex-
pected the sum named would be given
and the transfer effected. Grand Forks
has strong hopes of getting the prize,
but the bishop is credited with saying
that no Inducements would make him go
there, provided Fargo did as above indi-
Gated.

HENRY CLEws & Cos financial review
for the week ending March 18th says:

The marked intrinsic %buoyancy of the
stock market continues to be held in check
~ the large special exports of specie; and
nence it becomes important to understand
the causes and the probable duration of
the gold out flow and the bearing it should
legitimately have upon confidence and the
course OF the local money market. Prim-
arily, the exports seem to nave arisen
from the urgencies of Russian finance.
The Car has for some time sought to effect
a large loan, first to provide for the pay
ment OF maturing loans, next to construct
extensive lines of railroads, and also to en-
able him to construct immense military
works in menace of Germany and Austria.
The RothschildS lately undertook the
negotiation; but, partly on account of the
Cars hot prosecution OF the Jews and
partly it is supposed because there was
good reason to suspect that the loan was
also Intended for contemplated early hos
Titles against the triple alliance, the great
banking house withdrew from the trans
action. This was a hard blow at the cred
1t, the prestige and the political ambitions
OF the Gar; and weather in revenge or
from financial necessity does not exactly
Apprenticeship has since been drawing
OF deposits which. somewhat inexplicaDly,
She has been allowing TO lest with the
great banks and bankers Of Europe. The
consequent large and sudden drain
upon the European stocks Of gold,
coming close upon the deep disturbance
of confidence arising from the financial
complications of South America. has
caused continental banks to .recoup them
selves for the loss by getting gold from ev-
cry possible source: and naturally the
drain has been especially directed towards
the United States. Whilst this uncertain
ty prevails, we must stand exposed to a
continuance Of the demand on New York
for gold; and Thursdays significanta ad-
vance of the bank of England's rate of dis
count from 4 to 5 per cent. was made with
that end in view. 1t is not easy to deter
NINE what may be the present ability of
Europe to draw upon this country. The
recent large exports of gold have been due
not only to our heavy maturing obliga-
tons, on account of special impOrtatiOnS
made in anticipation of the operation of
the new tariff duties, but also to the remit
lance of foreign bank balances resting here
for employment. How lar the latter re-
turL against cash remittanceS may have
been already diminished. it is impossible
to estimate; but even had it been exhausted
which is not SuDpOsahle), there would
still remain ways in which Europe could
get gold from us through borrowing here,
were the pressure urgent enough to justify
the cast of such operations. At the mo-
ment, however, the symptoms indicate that
Russia has probably satisfied at least her
immediate requirements for gold, and the
tone at the foreign financial centers shows
a more settled feeling; so that the hope is
permissible that we may rave now seen
the worst of the international financial cri-
sis,

spectators held their breath.
Then thirty thousand voices
mingled i'll n long shout. Barnes rea-
lized the critical moment had come.
Three-sixteenths from the finish Barnes
went to whip and for Il fraction of a
second the ftvorites faltered. A cry, and
a despairing one it was, went up, "Tenny
is beaten" It did look like it, but the
game little sway back responded nobly
and with heaving sides and distended
nostrils he came on like a piece of me-
%chanism, rapidly devouring ground at
every stride. The race was not his vet,
however, for Garrison wat working like
a demon on Prince Royal fairly lifting
him over the ground and Tea Tray was
rapidly moving up from the rear The
excitement was intense. Hats, bonnets,
handkerchief, umbrellas and parasols
were thrown into the air. and cries Of
"Tenny, Tenny," "Prince Royal WINS
"come on Tea Tray" were heard on all
sides. 1t was a grand struggle, but
Jenny held his antagonists safe, and
bounding like an India rubber ball passed
the finish two good lengths in front of
Prince Royal, who beat Tea Tray a short
head for second money.
A grin of delight spread all over the
face of Pikey Barnes as he glanced back
over his shoulder and realized that the
race was won The time, 2:1O, was
nothing out of the common, but it was a
grand race, and men, women and chill
dren, perfect strangers to each other,
shook hands and swore there was
nothing in the world to compare to a
first-class horse race. Barnes, who rode
the winner, was placed in a floral horse
shoe after he had weighed out and was
carried to the dressing room. He has
won the futurity, junior champion and
Brooklyn, and says his ambition is now
to ride the winner of the suburban.

SECRETARY EDGERLEY, of the railroad

SECRETARY EDGERLEY, of the railroad
commissioners, says that both the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
roads have agreed to make a rate of one
fare for the round trip to those desiring
to attend the annual encampment of the
state militia at Devils Lake. It is ex-
pected a large number will avail them
selves of this reduction and put in a
week on the beautiful shores of the sa-
tanic waters, where the scenery is superb,
the fishing excellent, the boating elegant
and editors are thumped regularly once
a week.

The Valley City lines Record says
that out of 1000 children of school age
IN Barnes county, 1900 are of Scandina-
Wan %parentage. This is a large percent
age-probably equal to that of Trail(,
Walsh and Griggs counties, which have
been supposed to be the most densely
peopled with the sons of Norskland. The
S~candinavians are a sturdy people, pas
toral and agricultural in their molina
tions, and North Dakota is the place for
them. 1t is an element that has come to
stay and it is likely that during the next
ten years the scandinavian population of
North Dakota will be doubled and their
rapid increase will only be ~equalled by
their rapid advancement and prosperity.

IHE supreme court of the United
States has shown that there is a way to
tax the various transportation companies
of the country, such as the Pullman car
company, the telegraph lines, express
routes, etc. North Dakota is like many
other states in this regard-been for
years trying to enact a constitutional
requirement for a revenue system that
would be successful in making these
wealthy institutions pay their proper
ton of the public burden, the same as
a common citizen. So far every effort
has been abortive and the corporations
politely but firmly inform the taxing
Ulcers of the state to go hence, or words
to that effect. The present statutes of
the state. provide for a license of 800 on
each sleeping car and that express COM
panies pay a certain sum for every Office
opened by them. The federal supreme
court has 'inyariable decided that such
we're restrictions on interstate commerce,
and hence null and void. But now
comes a decision on the validity of the
law of Pennsylvania that would seem to
ooint out the way of salvation. This
case was whether the state law of Penn
~sylvania was good, which provides that
the Pullman company could be taxed on
their capital stock in proportion as the
mileage of Pennsylvania was to the to-
tai mileage covered by the company.
The court Of highest resort says it is;
that it is not against interstate COM
merce, but an equitable method of max
ing the Pullmans pay their proportion
of taxes. We predict that the next leg
islature will take this matter up and
enact a similar statute. Exacting as the
Pullman company does, the highest
rates for service in the country, those
travellers who have groaned under the
outrageous charges for 80 long will
gladly hail the chance to see them reim-
burse the state somewhat for the dollars
they have dragged out of it's citizens.

In territorial days it was customary
for the territorial officers to allow counties
such ATTACHMENTS, refundments and can
collation. Of taxes as the various boards
OF county commissioner saw fit to allow.
There was nc law for it, simply a time
honored precedent. The present admin
istration will not accept this territorial
inheritance, and the auditor has issued
a lrcular to county auditors calling
their attention to a recent opinion of the
attorney general on the subject, in which
he says that county commissioners have
no authority in law whatever to abate,
cancel o. refund a tax when once levied.
Their only authority or control over the
assessment or collection of taxes is that
when sitting as a board of equalization
they may correct the assessment. When
their duties as such board have been
completed and the assessment rolls
placed in the hands of the county audi
tor and the taxes levied and extended,
there is no power to stay the collection
of such taxes, penalties and interest ex-
cept in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The only attachments or cancellations
that will be allowed on taxes levied for
1890 or subsequent years, will be those
ordered by the court or under the pro-
visions of section Sc, chapter 1872 of the
laws of 1890 The stata au1itor aico
holds that 5000 exemption, provided in
the 18th subdivision of the 1891 amend
ment to section 5 of the laws of 1890 will
be operative this year-after July LIST,
and the 5000 mentioned will be exempt,

jackson sprained his ankle by being
