The Fargo Argus says that in a couple

The Fargo Argus says that in a couple
of weeks the old Fargo brewery will be
turning out flour. What's the matter
with our brewery doing likewise? Here
is an opportunity for some person or
persons to purchase a building cheap
which could be easily turned into a flour
ing mill. There will probably be 100000
bushels Of wheat tributary to Bismarck
this fall. Of course this is more than
the mill here can manufacture into flour.
A large portion of the wheat shipped
from this point will be brought down
the river. The brewery building would
be a convenient place to handle the grain.
The cheap fuel %procurable here reduces
the cost of flour manufacturing to the
minimum. 1t is too bad to see this
brewery building vacant. It should be
utilized for something.

state constitution, and to the following
provision of the United States constitution,
found in article 8 of amendments thereto,
viz: "Nor shall private property be taken
for public use without just compensation -
and the other provision in said article that
no persons shall be deprived of life, liber-
law"
The governors reasons for vetoing the
bill are good and sufficient and need no
defense. The railroads pay taxes and
have as much right to state protection as
any individual citizen of the state. OF
course the legislature has the right to
condemn and take property in the state
provided it pays for that
property. But the legislature has no
more right to give a farmer the power to
take a piece OF railroad land for nothing,
than it has to give the railroad authority
to take the farmers land without proper
compensation. The amount allowed by
the bennett bill for a site-S1.O0 per
year-was practically nothing.
An act similar to the bennett bill was
passed by the Minnesota legislature and
declared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court of that state.
By comparing the bennett bill with
the South Dakota law it will be seen that
the object of the two bills is about the
only similarity between them. The South
Dakota law provides that the circuit
court shall appoint a board of appraisers
to determine the damage to the railroad
company by the occupancy of the site for
the warehouse. It also provides that
either the railroad or the party wanting
the site may take an appeal to the courts
in regard to the matter of compensation.
The North Dakota bill provided for an
appeal in the matter OF allowing sites,
but the compensation for such site was
fixed at $1.00 yer year and no appeal.
The bennett bill was certainly unconsti-
tutional, being a violation of our state
constitution as we'll as the constitution
of the United States. If a bill similar to
the South Dakota law had been passed
by the North Dakota legislature, it
would have been a benefit to the farmers
of this state. The bennett bill was one
of the last passed by the legislature and
was rushed through in a hurry and not
given the careful consideration its i'm
%portance demanded. If it had come up
earlier in the session, its defective points
would probably have been noticed, and
the enactment of a warehouse law not in
conflict with the constitution would have
been the result.

The work of improving the roadbed of
the lines of the Northern Pacific in
Washington, which was begun last
spring, is still in progress. The improve
ments are being made on the Pacific di-
vision, which includes the branch from
Tacoma to Portland; on the west Cas-
cade division from Ellensburgh to To-
coma, and on the Idaho division west
from Spokane. The roadbed is being
reballasted and many t~restles are being
rebuilt.

AFFAIRS in Europe are again assum-
ing a warlike appearance. The Russian
army is prepared to advance on Constan-
tinople as soon as the car gives the
word. The sentiment among the Russian
generals is in favor of war, and it is
thought this may have some influence
upon the czar in ordering an advance.
The sultan is resuscitating his navy, and
the English feet is on the alert in the

The most curious freak of modern
times-or else the story is the biggest
lie-comes from Tennessee. The case in
question is a woman whose bones are
said to be coming out of her body, until
she has in this manner got rid of about
600. The wounds caused by the e~xfolia-
ton of the bones heal quickly and new
bones grow in place of the ones she loses.
The fact that this process has been going
on for twenty-one years, and as yet the
woman is not in a dime museum, makes
this story seem very improbable.

The jamestown Alert is not only apin'

THE jamestown Alert is not only agin'
the government, but is opposed to every
thing which originates in the Twin
cities. In the eyes of the Alert the re-
cent harvest festival at Minneapolis was
a dire scheme gotten up by the millers
OF that city to depress the price of wheat.
The TRIBUNE was under the impression
that the festival was a grand advertising
scheme for the northwest, and that Min
neapolis, as one of the cities of the north
west, would be. benefited accordingly.
But the Alert exposes the whole villain
Gus scheme and lifts the shadowy fes-
tival veil, under the folds of which the
wicked Flour city people seek to rob the
poor down-trodden Dakota farmer. The
aforesaid farmer-who has this year
reaped more from his land than the land
is worth-should thank the Alert for
letting the light in On this joyful, jubil-
ant, rollioking festival fraud. Here is a
sample of the Alert's views:
There were no shouting contributory
delegations from North and South Da-
ikota, no farmers floats, no hard wheat
heroes. There were plenty of evidences,
however, that the prairie settler, although
actually present as a trophy of Pills
bury's conquest of the wheat raiser, was
there in truth, walking behind the tinsel
charlots and following the wain's of
Ceres, scourged as to a dungeon and
wrathful but helpless. Much incense
was burned and many rites of propitia-
ton ordered by ministers of the city to
appease the offended deities for the dese-
Grafton of the Sabbath preceding. The
crowd was big, the expense was big, the
scheme was big and Minneapolis doubt.
less feels exultant and happy. If after
all the hub-bub the price of wheat
should advance, how painful it would be
to the millers and spectators,

The Grand Forks Herald and the
Devils Lake Inter-Oc (Hansbrough's
paper are at present using their venom
quilts against one another with consider
able effect. Hansbrough says Winship
is a tool of Jim Hills, and Winship says
Hansbrough is a liar. They have argued
the wheat inspection law and Judge
Caldwell's opinion up n side of the
fence and down the other-and are still
arguing. The Herald says that the
aforesaid law is all right, and when ap-
piled to the purpose clearly expressed in
its own terms will doubtless prove as
beneficial as was expected when it was
enacted. The TRIBUNE does not know
how much was expected when this law
was enacted, but it's beneficial results are
hard to see. There is no doubt that
Judge Caldwell's opinion was a proper
Interpretation of the law, and that the in
spection clause applies only to wheat
stored or purchased in the state. Sec
ton l Of chapter 1873 reads as follows:
ALI elevators or warehouses located or to be
located at Grand Forks, Fargo, Wahpeton and
Feirmount, in this state, in which grain is stored
in bulk, and in which the grain of different own
ers is mixed together, or in which grain is stored
in s1ch q manner that the identity of different
lots or parcels. cannot be accurately preserved.
and d, ing business for a compensation, are here
by declared to be public warehouses.
Only four places designated where the
elevators are public warehouses. The law
further says that the wheat bought at
a public warehouse-wh1ch must, un
der this act, be located at some
of the four points ~named-shall
be inspected by a deputy grain
inspector. The railroad commissioners
are authorized to appoint a grain inspec-
tor, and he appoints deputies for each of
the places designated as points for public
warehouses. Chapter 1873, laws of 1890,
sis all right" so far as it goes, but it is
far from being beneficial" to the people
of this state at the present time. If at
some future period immense ware
houses should be built at the points
named, where the wheat of North Da-
kota would be stored and re-shipped, or
if large milling Industries should be built
up at the aforesaid places, then-and not
till then-wouldthis statute be beneficial
The legislature which enacted this law
must have looked into the future and
foreseeu such a contingency, or else the
law does not fulfill the intent of it's
| makers.

IT is Lice to see at least one

A GRAND WHEELING TOUR.
The Globe TO Be cIrcIed by an Ell
we'll Party In 1892.

In the matter of bicycle touring Mr. n
Eiweil Oh THIS city has long been at the head
Oh the list. For the past two seasons he has
successfully conducted large parties of
wheelmen through Europe, and on the Goth
VI this month a party will 90 to Bermuda
ior TWO weeks under his management. Next
season, In conjunction with Mr., Fl. S. Hig-
guns ne will have charge of two European
tours. Bnt the most ambitious scheme ever
undertaken in wheeling annals he is now
planning, and that is no less than tour
around the world ON bicycles, to start in the
fall of 1892. Thomas Stevens wheeled
around the globe single-handed, which was
a big accomplishment, but to conduct par
ty OF 20 or 80 on such tour will indeed be a
mammoth undertaking. The scheme is one
OF astonishing magnitude. but Mr.. Elwell Is
daunted by nothing and believes only in sue
cess, so 1t is safe to say that tour of the
world will, In the winter of 1892. be made by
party Of wheelmen. and that it will be sue
cessfully made, too.
The route as at present outlined has the
party sail from New York to England, across
which country they will wheel; also through
France. Switzerland and Italy, where they
embark for Egypt. Some little time will be
passed In the Holy Land, visiting Jerusalem
and other points of interest, then the party
will proceed by steamer through the Suez
Canal and down the he'd Sea, and over to
India, where they will wheel for several
hundred miles to Calcutta, following about
the course of Stevens through the empire.
There steamer will be taken for China. in
which country only brief stop will be
made. In Japan they will linger for some
time, cycling 500 miles or more. II is proba.
BILE they will stop short time at the Sand
witch Islands to test the roads there, and will
then proceed to San Francisco. Across the
| United States 1t is quite likely they will
journey by rail, and the plan is to arrive ii
Chicago in time to see the opening of thu
Worlds Fair in 1898. 1t Is now thought tn,
tour will occupy about eight months.
