If the newspapers of the state have
any trouble with insurance companies or
advertising agencies this year; it will be
their own fault. The commissioner of
insurance has done and will do all in his
power to protect the interests of the
newspapers without doing any injustice
to the insurance companies. The law
must be enforced, legalisrates secured
and the dignity Of. the press in this state
maintained. The newspaper business is,
or ought to be, a Observation-Disclosures
Its standing and credit lies with the
publishers themselves. It is for them to
say whether they will maintain their
rights or allow the business to degenerate
through their own folly and shortsight-
edness.

NEARLY thirteen weeks has passed
since the agitation was begun looking to
the repeal of the vital section in the bank
law, still the bevy of private bank lobby
lists have not given out for publication
one single, solid reason for the repeal.
1t may be set down as a settled fact that
the present legislature will not repeal the
law unless some good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
that will b. endorsed by the peoples
given for it. There is no justification in
a condition of affairs that allows private
bankers to do business--have all the ben
efts OF society-and pay no taxes. There
is no sense in discrimination against
national banks, and in favor of private
banks. The law that subjects the affairs
OF private banks to the scrutiny of the
public examiner is q good one.

SENATOR WoRsr's senate bill No. 1875,
amending 50 sections of the school
law Of 1890, introduces no radical
changes in the school law but simply
rounds out and completes the law as it
now stands. A number of errors on the
part of the enrolling force crept into the
bill passed last year; a portion of it was
lost last winter and did not receive the
governors signature, and after one years
operation the defects and conhictions
becoming apparent, MI. Worst's new
bill simply perfects the law. Many of
the sections, as amended, require the
change or insertion of a word or the ad-
dition of a sentence to clear up the am
biguity that exist.

A BILL has been introduced in the SEN

county Is in Judge Roses district. The
judge has to come to Steele lin the Sixth

to Napoleon when holding court in Lo.

about one, and properly belongs to Judge
Winchester's district. 1t is understood
that Judge Winchester was not at all
DESTROYS Of adding to his already very
large district, but when the matter was
presented to him, he was willing to re-
lieve Judge Rose of the county. When
the new railroad is built to Aberdeen
from Bismarck, Napoleon will be espec-
tally easy to reach from Bismarck. All
the parties interested are willing to have
the change made, and there will be no
opposition to the bill.

PAPERS published in districts having
public institutions located but not built
do their members in the legislature a
great injustice to continually advise their
constituents Of what they intend to do
telling them that "they will get an ap-
preparation" and "money for a site" etc.
It is an injustice because the condition
of the states finances will not permit of
any unnecessary expenditures at this
time and a false hope should not be held
out to the constituents of members from
these districts. It is wrong to measure
the credit of the members by what they
may be able to accomplish. for their con-
s%tituents. The press should take an
other tack. A member should often be
given greater credit for what he pre-
vents from being accomplished than for
the success of'any measures in which his
own people are particularly interested.
In general legislation rather than special
is craftsmanship displayed.

BUDD REEVES letter in the st. Paul
Globe has scared Editor Winship, and
the Grand Forks Herald wants Hans to
explain it away-for Gods sake-for the
party's sake. Winship and others who
failed to insist on a republican caucus
will have to take their medicine and
call it good. The TRIBUNE urged a re-
publican caucus, that the choice of the
legislature for United States senator
might not be accused of flirting with the
democrats. It was about tho only paper
in the state that urged it, and last win
ter's experiences of the party were cited
by leading republicans in support of
their stand in the recent : fight
against 8 caucus. Fortunately, how
ever, Mr.. Hansbrough was elect
Ell by republicans. Had every dem
ocrn 1t voted against him, he would have
o Re received 48 republican votes,
besides 5 neutrality-suspicious. on the
last ballot, and At would have elected.
Mr.. Hansbrough's record IN the past
leads to the conclusion that he will be
radical enough-if not too much so-for
the benefit of the party.

REPRESENTATIVE THoMPsoN's bill, No.
1O3, is a lengthy bill, but it is one the
author believes will be alike satisfactory
to the railroads and the people. 1t is not
a radical bill, but one that seeks to con-
serve the interests of all. While the
schedule may not be exactly right in
every particular, MI. Thompson proposes
to make changes only upon good reasons
being shown therefor. MI. Thompson
works UPON the theory that the railroads
often take advantage of the ignorant, and
his bill is calculated to fix the rates on
all articles, absolutely, so that every
shipper may know just what they are.

M. j. EDaERLEY has been selected Sec
rotary of the board of railroad commits
sioners to succeed Harvey Harris. It is
understood that MI. Harris did not make
a very strenuous effort to hold the posi-
ton under the new administration and
Mr.. Edgerley, being a lawyer, possessed
advantages that made him a successful
applicant. In this connection the TRIBUNE
wishes to add that, when it says MI. Har-
ris has made a faithful and efficient Off
cial, it is only saying that which will be
admitted by all who have been in a posi-
ton to judge Of the merits and dement's
of state officials. Mr.. Harris is care
full, painstaking and thoroughly compe-
tent, and would make an excellent rail-
road commissioner himself some day.

The last speech of Secretary Window,
coming as it did from lips soon after
closed in death, is attracting wide notice
and much comment of a favorable char
acter. In it he took strong grounds
against what he believed to be the fnan-
cial heresies by which the democracy
expect to come into power in '92. He
spoke very strongly against the policy
of free trade, and claimed that under the
policy Of congress prior to 1928 our ship
ping interests had been fostered until
they were second to none He claimed
that only by a policy of protection to
American ships could our commercial
marine again be placed on it's former
footing. He cited the fact that no prin-
ciples of parsimony were found in the
dealings of Great Britain and the CONT
mental European nations with their mer-
chant service, and he hoped this nation
would soon recognize the fact that the
subsldizing of steamship lines was the
method of recovering our lost prestige
on the sea. He took strong grounds
against the free coinage of silver; and
said that he believed the second sober
thought" of the people was about to as
sert itself, and the danger would soon be
past. AS the words of a dying patriot
and statesman, the speech will have
great influence for good.

JANUARY 1891, goes down to history as
a most remarkable one. It was the
warmest in the history Of the Bismarck

denly as it came. The month more re-
sembled January, 1878, than any other

year, 21.2. There we're but five cloudy

SENAToR-ELEcT HANsBRoUaH tells the
Pioneer Press that he did it himself, in
divldually-had the whole g%eneralship
himself-which ought to forever set at
rest the reports of trades, pledges-to the
new gang--the old gang-democrats and
the like. When President Harrison was
elected he said God did it and he gave
credit to the Almighty alone. Cleveland
before him had a similar notion. The
TRIBUNE believes that both of these en-
inent gentlemen we're wrong in their con-
cluslons. The Almighty has had very
little to do with the politics of the Gun
try for sixteen years and Hans rough
very wisely places the credit of his own
success where it belongs.

The time to have passed the federal
election bill-if at all-was at the first
session of the present congress. The
matter was allowed to drag too long. The
republicans, instead of being on the ag-
gressive. have been placed on the defens-
i've. The measure has been m1srepre-
sented until the popular impression pre-
walls that the republican majority is be-
coming tyrannical. "Force BILL" as it is
called, is a misnomer, but it has done it's
work just the same, and, instead of being
a distinctively party measure, it is doubt
full if the elections bill is now endorsed
by even one-half of the republicans.

deliberation on the subject after a long
experience in dealing with financial men
and topics, and entitled to all the respect

answer to every one of the four points
enunciated by the committee, though not
specifically formulated as a reply there
to, his thoughts on the subject should be
needed as those of n who being dead

SENATOR McG1LL1vRAY is looking af-
ter the coal bills that drop into the legis.
lative arena. The people up on the
Great Northern railroad are so accus-
toned to exorbitant rates for handling
native coal, that to them a maximum
rate, which is W greater than the
Northern Pacific charges, would be a
Godsend. Senator McGillivray and his
fellow senators along the Northern Pa
cifc want to see no coal rate bill if it is
not at least down to as low figures as he
Northern Pacific now charges. 1t is un-
derstood that the Missouri slope delega-
tion in the legislature are not disposed
to find fault with the rates as now
charged by the Northern Pacific.

He has a hand and a word of good cheer

personages to consult him and he'll con-
consult them-all of which is calculated
to give the executive such a knowledge
