LIFE ON A
The Rules and Regulations Which the
Pirate Had to Obey.

The Rules and Regulations Which the
Pirate Had to Obey.
The customs and regulations most
commonly observed on board a ouc-
cancer are worth noting, says the Ma
tional Review. Every pirate captain
doubtless has his own set of rules; but
there were certain traditional articles
that seem to have beer generally
adopted. The captain had a state cabin,
q double vote in elections, a double share
OF booty. On some vessels it was the
captain who decided what direction to
sail in, but this and other matters of
moment were often settled by a vote of
the company, the captains vote count
ing for two. The officers had a share
and a half or a share and a quarter of
the plumber and the sailors each one
share. Booty was divided with scrupu
lous care and narrowing was the penal
ty OF attempting to defraud the general
company, If only to the amount of a
sold piece or q dollar. Every man had
afull vote in any affair of Importance.
Arms were always to be clean and fit
for service and desertion of the ship or
quarters in battle was punished with
death. On Roberts ship a man who
was crippled in battle received eight
hundred dollars out of the common
stock and a prOportionate sum was
awarded for lesser hurts. Lowthcr al
lowed one. hundred and fifty pounds
sterling for the loss of a limb and other
captains instituted a sort of tariff of
wounds that extended to ears, fingers
and toes.
In chase or battle the captains power
was ABSOLUTE. He who first spicd L sail,
Il she proved to be Il prize, was entitled
to the best pair of pistols on board her
over and above his dividend. These
pistols were greatly coveted, and a pair
would sell for as much as thirty pounds
sterling from n pirate to another.
In their own commonwealth the nj
rates were reported to have been severe
upon the point Of honor, and among
Roberts crow 1T was the practice to slit
the ears or nose of any sailor found
guilty Of rGbbing his fellow.
Such feeble interest as now attaches
to what was nee the formidable fame
OF the pirates is not ven cSthetie: it is
merely comic. No imaginative css2vist
discusses piracy as q fine art; but Paul
Jones Is rcSurrccted as the hero of q
musical burlcsque. Poor Paul! And he
is almost the only one of the whole buc-
caneering race whose story discovers a
trace of the legendary gallantry of pi-
racy. Paul, whose father had been
head gardener to Lord SclIiirk, plum
dcrcd the &.ll;irk mansion of it's plato,
which he subsequently returned in a
parcel to Lady Selkirle with u letter Of
polite apology.

the background of public approval
moral worth and honorable achievement,

NO REASON TO BE PANICKY.

While the cholera news is depressing
we ought to give way to no alarm. To be
fearful need not lead US into panicky con-
ditions Wholesome fear is the mother of
wise precaution, but terror is the parent
of woe, and will actually induce the very
disease we fear.
What we must remember is this, that
the cholera will not be put from US by
wailing and fearing, but that by cleanli-
ness, safe diet, wholesome food and plenty
of it, not starvation and reduction, we
have the majority of chances with us in
cholera epidemic. There are five steamers
in quarantine in New York harbor with
nearly 1000 people aboard, and yet not
over twenty-five have died from cholera
while they have been cooped up at sea
and in quarantine This is not excessive
or even large mortality under the condi-
tons.
We must also keep in mind that sani-
tary science has so advanced in recent
years that we are better able to cope with
the cholera than ever before. We know
much better how to cleanse premises,
purify drains and neutralize disease poi
! sons than in the past. Our people are
reading people and more susceptible to
advice given through the press relative to
their conduct in epidemic periods than
are those of any European country. We
would never expect, for instance, cholera
riots, such as have taken place in Russia,
| because ignorance of sanitary regulation
and the need for cleanliness is thing
practically unknown here ten days after
an outbreak Of any epidemic.
! We have no reason to expect the cholera
! to come to this coast this year, and yet
we should take all precautions to prevent
! it gaining foothold if by some mis-
chance it passes the State quarantine or
inspection to be set upon our borders.
But while it is as yet kept out Of New
York, and we believe can be, it may APP
pear in that city, and with it we have the
menace of it's spread. So that our whole
duty lies in cleansing our towns and
cities thoroughly, in living well and tenn
perately. but not in manner to either
overload or to deprive the stomach; TO
keep an even frame of mind, to go about
our business with usual alacrity or usual
calm-in short, to adopt a sensible and
not an alarmist system, and to keep in
mind constantly that those who observe
the precautions advised by science almost
all escape the cholera. 1t is disease OF
filth, neglect and defiance of sanitary
laws, and it. therefore, shuns cleanliness,
sobriety, moderation and courage.

ADJUSTMENTS

A good-sized audience below and full
gallery at tie Clunie Opera House last
evening witnessed an entertainment
by Duncan Clark's Female Minstrel
troupe. The company consists of ten
women and five men. The women are
very Indifferent performers either as
vocalists or dancers ii we except
Miss Clark, who is clever in dance.
Lew Baker is good minstrel, especially
in old man parts, and Leon and Baker as
acrobatic song and dance men are very
clever indeed. AS whole the show is
third rate and the women rank with the
cheap concert hall performers in sbility.
The entertainment was proper enough.
so far as that goes; there was not more
nor so much display of forms as in ordi-
nary comic opera, but the players are
woodeny and have little idea of grace
and none of vivacity and expression. A
final entertainment tonight.

The State of Tennessee indicated it's
sovereignty by suppressing the revolt of
last month; it now behooves it to remove
the occasion for the lawlessness. The at
tack by working men upon the convicts
hired out to work in the mines cannot be
justified; neither can the policy Of the
Democratic Legislature that established
the convict lease system. Let Tennessee
now justify her claim to being pro-
gressive and enlightened State by remov-
ing the stigma and shame Of convict slave
labor.

NGDON, NORTH DAKOTA. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22 1892.
Platform Adopted BY Demo.
cratic State Convention,

l.. The representatives of the demo-
cratic party of North Dakota in con-
vention assembled heartily endorse the
platform adopted by the democratic
national convention at Chicago.
z. by common consent the tariff is
the supreme issue of the impending
campaign. The question to be settled
by the American people is whether
revenue tariff which was adopted as an
extreme war measure and with the
solemn pledge of its authors that it
should be repealed as soon as that war
was over, and which has been increased
nearly one-fourth by the Mckinley
Dill, shall be made perpetual for the
benefit OF favored class; whether that
system shall continue which after
thirty years OF trial, presents the spec
tacle OF colossal fortunes on one side
and colossal Indebtedness on the
other, trusts and millionaires upon one
side and an aggregate farm mortgage
lndebtendess OF s., 800, ,0O0, 900 upon the
other; q system which has massed in
the hands of 1000 persons one-half of
the entire wealth of the nation. in
other words, more than so per cent of
national wealth in the hands of less
than one-half of per cent of the en-
tire population. To the repeal of such
measures we pledge the united support
OF the democratic party of North Da-
kota.
2. Upon this issue Of the tariff the
independent party and the democratic
party are one in interest, one in prin-
ciple and should be one in work.
4. The issue of this campaign comes
home with especial force to the people
| OF North Dakota. They bear all the
burdens of the republican tariff and
share in none of its profits. 1t is pow
erless to enhance the price of wheat
they have to sell and increases the
price OF all they have to buy. 1t sends
them to the free trade markets of the
world with their grain, and at the same
time places in the hands of their COM
petitors in Asia, Australia and South
America, agricultural implements at
80 per cent less than they are furnished
to them by the American manufacture
ers, whom it protects.
5. We rejoice that the democratic
party in this great campaign have for
their leader man who writes it's prin-
ciples in ''the living characters and
ennobles them by heroic action
Grover Cleveland.
6. We believe that resubmission is
by far preferable to the present prohib-
itory law, as it is and has been en-
forced by the republican party.
j. E. CAMPBELL, Chairman.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1892-09-22

The visible supply of wheat has
increased several millions the past
few days and Russian wheat is re-
ported in market in France at lower
prices than American, which, with
the failure of frost to do serious
damage to the late wheat in the
Northwest, tend to check any ad-
vance in figures. Still in view Of
the conceded fact that the worlds
supply will be some 2oo,ooo,ooO
bushels less than last year, the ten
denotes are upward. The prevalent
disposition, however, among wheat
producers is not to hold for rise.
The rapid increase of the visible
