The Griggs County Courier is pub
lished in a distinctively and exclusively
farming community and can hardly be
charged with being a boomer for corpo-
rations of any kind. Such a paper car,
therefore, without fear of having it's mo-
tives misunderstood, call the attention
of the farmers to the fact that there
ought to be such a thing as gratitude in
their. makeup. In a recent issue the
Courier says:
There are times when a railroad COM
pany deserves credit for their efforts in be
half of their patrons. In handling our i'm
mense crop of wheat this fall we think the
GUS appreciation of the patrons of the road
and of the farmers in particular. 1t is a
fair estimate to say that the railroad could
have handled the crop with a third less
cars if they had received it all through the
elevators. They could have handled it
also at a very much less expense. The
by the determined efforts of General Man
ager Mellen that the policy of
giving farmers all the cars they wanted
was adopted by the Northern Pacific. Every
farmers alliance and farmers meeting IN
the state on the line OF the Northern Pa.
cific should adopt resolutions showing
their appreciation of the efforts of the
management in this direction. Stock cars
have been boarded up, flat cars made into
box cars. and every available car on their
entire system and thousands of rented cars
have been placed at tho disposal of the
shipper. 1t is not enough to say they have
acted in their own interests by giving the
farmers cars. Perhaps they have, but let
the farmers show they can appreciate good
treatment If it does come from a railroad
corporation. If the farmers of Griggs
county were dependent upon the Great
Northern railroad for accommodation they
would better appreciate the management
of the Northern Pacific. Then they would
get about two trains a week and could only
get cars when the elevators did not want
them. The policy of the Northern Pacific
in furnishing farmers with all the cars
they want has raised the price of every
bushel of wheat sold in Griggs county sew
eral cents. 1t is a low estimate to say that
this policy has put over $4,000 in the
pockets Of Griggs county farmers. Farm

Resident capitalists are anxious to buy all

licited.
No honest man is alarmed because of
the decision of our supreme count; its JUS
tees are we'll known to be learned and
eminent ~jurists, and all their decisions are
based on fundamental principles, on sound
reason or on the best authority. Of course,
such decisions are rot in favor with those
who combine to steal land for two or three
per cent. of its value, and who, in case of
failure, ,vainly beg a %refunding, with 80 per
cent. interest. The sharks that howl be-
cause of such righteous decisions would
gladly rob the poor farmer of his
hard earned lands. Could they obtain
such land for n per cent. of its value,
would they relax their grip? Would they
do equity? With a decision affirming their
claim Ct title would they say to the farmer.
1--WE will not steal your land, we will not
take it for nothing, we will do equity"
No. Their equity would be that of a real
salt water shark to its victim. The equity
Justly due them, on conviction as in the
power-Larabee case, is a term in the pen
itentiary, for conspiracy and attempted
grand larceny.

The legislature, in passing the state
bank law, builded better than they
knew. It has stood the test of criticism
and it is now considered the best state
banking law in the United States. Pub.
lie Examiner Wallace says that it is an
excellent law, but two or three amend
ments are necessary-one in particular,
giving the examiner the same power to
take charge of and close up the affairs
of a shaky institution that is given the
national examiners of national banks.
The new law has added over 100000
worth of taxable property to the state.

speculation and investment. Another
wise provision Of the law is that which
authorizes the offer of the lands in bulk

of interest. Under the provision in some
counties-Cass among them-all the
lands have been sold to n party who

a good time generally was had. Among
the letters of regret from absentees was

j.. B.. ROBINSON, a Fargo attorney,
answers Banker Steckel in the columns
of the Forum in q way calculated to
make that gentleman stop and think
twice before he shoots once again. The
TRIBUNE is surprised at Mr.. Robinson's
declaration that the Argus refused to
publish his article. No newspaper can
afford to deny it's news columns to the
use of all factions and all sentiments.
The editorial expressions have nothing
whatevel to do with communications.
MIR. Robinson reviews the Steckel article
and declares that the courts of the
country have uniformly held with the
decisions of the Dakota supreme court
In conclusion Mr.. Robinson says:
Reference is also made to the decision in
another case which arose under an old
territorial law very different from any law
in Iowa. In that case our supreme court
held that in the absence Of a controlIine
statutory provision the purchaser at a tax
sale stands in no better position than a
purchaser under an execution sale. or a
purchaser under a quit claim deed: that in
such case the rule of caveat emptor ap.
plies; the purchaser must beware as there
is no warranty. The law which gave 8
fair chance to acquire valuable lands fol
taxes against it and which gave thirty per
cent. interest in case Of redemption did not
In case Of failure guarantee a refunding-
that would have made the snap too good.
The state law gives the purchaser fifteen

failure OF title IT guarantees a refundine

law county tre6slrers sell land for deIin.

The millers of North Dakota are con-
tributing literally to the ship load of

Russia. The Bismarck and Mandan
mills have contributed about half a car

tributions of money from churches, soci-
cites and individuals should be sent to
Mr.. Turner at Mandan, or to the local
manager of the Bismarck mills. Ger

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The TRIBUNE pauses on the threshold
of 1892 to wish its readers, one and all,
a Happy New Year. The daily TRIBUNE
enters on it's twelfth year and the
weekly-the Oldest paper in North Da-
kota-reaches the nineteenth milestone.
The history of the Dakotas, of Bur
leigh county, of Bismarck, of the Mis-
souri, slope, is written and bound in the
files of the Bismarck TRIBUNE.
It tells the whole story-of the pio-
neer settlement and rapid advancement
of two great states-the rise and fall of
individuals, socially, politically and fin
ancially-pleasures. SORROWS, disasters
disappointment and successes.
Arrangements may come and manage
ments may 60, but the TRIBUNE goes on
forever.
The editorial control may change as
the years roll on, but the institution is a
fxture-permanent, indelible.
In looking back over the past the
TRIBUNE finds much in the history of
Bismarck to praise and little to con-
denim.
Throughout it's whole career Bismarck
has had to struggle. Its road has been
a rocky one but all obstacles have been
met and ~surmounted. The people have
had their ups and downs-aDd during
the past three or four years the downs
have seemed to predomlnate-but the
people have been equal to all emergen-
cies and Bismarck, the capital city, is a
proud municipality.
There have been, however, during the
past year signs of disintegration. Let it
be borne in mind that whatever success
Bismarck has attained in the past, what
ever %conquests it has made, is due to the
unanimity, loyalty and pluck of her peo-
pie.
OF late there has been a lack of bust
ness enthusiasm and too much factional
strife.
Let the beginning of the new year
mark the dawn of a new era. Let us get
together as citizens of Bismarck to dis
cuss questions affecting her material
welfare; let us make politics a seconda-
ry consideration. Instead of wasting
time in scheming and devising ways and
means to destroy let us unite in one
grand effort to build up-not the indi-
vidual, but the community.
The year of 1892 promises much for
North Dakota and if Bismarck does not
gather her share of the good th1ngs-ob-
tain her portion of the immigration, cap
ital, railroad extensions, building i'm
provements and general Development
it will be the fault of her own people.
Beginning with the first day of the
new year let the business men meet-not
as the malta or anarchists, bent IN tear
ing each other to ~pieces-but as fellow
citizens, determined to build up Bis
marck by every legitimate means and all
the energy at their command.
Let us abolish personal politics-or
politics altogether, if needs be. This is
a presidential year and now is the time
to stop the guerilla political warfare that
has characterized the campaigns in Bur
leigh county for so long and resulted in
so much bad blood and strife.
Let US have a little reformation in
politics as we'll as a revival Of business
sagacity, or give up politics altogether
until we go into it and get out without
getting bedaubbed with mud.
Let us turn a new leaf.

CAN'T AGREE.
The Committee to Arrange a Settle
ment of the Worlds Fair Matter
Fail TO Agree.

By Telegraph to the state Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A failure to
agree was the result of the meeting this
afternoon of the ten democratic members
appointed as committee to arrange a
harmonious settlement of the Worlds
Fair matter. The committee was ap
pointed at the conference of the demo
cratic members held this morning. 1t is
evenly divided on the Worlds Fair ap-
preparation, its members being Messrs
Bankhead, of Alabama; McMillin, of
Tennessee; McCreary, of Kentucky
Cummings, of New York and Culberson,
of Texas, who are opposed to the appro-
priation. And Mr.. Durburrow, of Hi
nois; Fellows, of New York Reilley, of
Pennsylvania and Shively, of Indiana
who are in favor of it. The anti-appro-
prlatlOn men on the committee took the
initiative in making a proposition look
ing to an agreement, but they were met
with the ultimatum from the Fair advo
Gates that they were willing only to ac-
cept proposition for direct vote.
They were anxious, it was stated, to
have the matter 90 before the House that
it might be settled Immediately
The ants made several propositions, but
not one of them was voted on. One OF
these was to cut down the appropriation
to one half, and this was vigorously OBJ
posed by the other side, and even found
opposition on the part OF some of the
ants. Another proposition was that d
vote be postponed until the meeting OF
Congress in December. This too, me,
even more vigorous opposition from the
advocates of the appropriation They con
tend for S5, 0OO 900 and not cent less.

of direct appropriation be made, me-
