President Hill of the Great Nor tn
ern stated to 'sour" committee last
week, that Mr.. Smith who spent
last summer a short distance south
of Morris is busy getting mp an
English colony of we'll to do English
farmers, who will come to Morris in
the spring. Mr.. Smith thinks, con-
tinued Mr.. Hill, that he can secure
thirty and guarantees twenty of these
English farmers who shall have from
S., 900 to $4,000 each with which to
begin farming operations here.
Many of our readers will remember
the gentleman referred to. and each
and every one will wish that Mr..
Hill is not mistaken in his estimate
nf the disposition and ability of Mr..
Smith to perform what he has under
taken. Such colony would be worth
a great deal to Stevens county.

Incidents occur frequently to
strengthen our belief that the Gifts
zens of this community are except
ionally enlightened and intelligent;
but nothing has more thoroughly
convinced us of it than an article IN
the Great West, in which. the editor
says not one copy of his publication
is received at this postoffice. If there
is one thing more than another which
indicates mans good sense it is the
reading matter he selects for himself
and his family. If there is one paper
above all others which should be kept
out Of the hands of every pure minded
person it is the Great West. It is a
sheet filled with lies and exagger-
ations, with slang and blackguardism
of the most virluent type, with in
decent illusions and low minded,
obscene expressions. In its columns
will be found neither news nor sense,
neither logic nor intelligence, not an
item of interest or of use to the world
1t is, compared to an ordinary news
paper, as city sewer is to a pure

The Water franchise.

Our absence from home last week
prevented our saying anything on
this all absorbing subject; but an ar
ticle in last weeks Tribune called our
attention to it. The article we refer
to was one of the amendments passed
at the last meeting of the codncil.
The question is, why did not the
Tribune publish the amendment to
amendment No. 5, us we'll us amend
ment to amendment No. Q, of Ordi-
nance No. AZ, relating to water
works?
The simple truth is, that the
amendment published IN the Tribune
WAS so published for purpose, and
that purpose was to mislead people
who have not taken sufficient interest
in their game to understand their
mysterious movements; and we are
very sorry to say that too many of
our citizens are in this class, anu are
likely to have plenty of time to repent
it.
The amendment published in the
Tribune, shows that the majority of
the council passed the said amend
ment for the sole purpose of protect
ing the interest of the village, by
limiting the rental of each public hy-
drant to $40 per month, while the
usual charge in other towns runs
from SIS to 800 per year. What
magnanimouS men these three
guardians of the village are. Just
think of it! this ordinance obliges the
village to take, at the start, fifteen
hydrants at 1920 each, or 81. 800 per
year for water Tor fire and street
sprinkling purposes alone; and levy
of mills tax on all property real
and personal IN the village must be
collected to pay this amount.
The minority of the council,
Messrs Watzke and Stenger voted
against this amendment because they
wanted the limit fixed at 81 or So
instead of $40. 1t is due to these
gentlemen to give this explanation.
as the article in the Tribune is de-
signed to place them in Il false light.
1t is we'll known to those who have
watched the progress of this game,
that those two members of the coun.
ell have fought it inch by inch. in
hope of saving the village from the
iniquity that has been forced upon it.
Now word about the amendment
which the Tribune did not choose TO
publish. This amendment was to
trike ont of amendment No. 8.
lines 9, 10, IL, II, Is, IA, and Is,
which lines would have held them
down to the enabling act of the legis-
lature, granted fer the purpose of
this franchise: and which
many good lawers say would not
hold water. But by striking out these
lines they hope to work it in on the
act organizing the village. That is
TO say, If one act is not sound enough
to sustain the scheme, the other NAV
be.
The whole game is the biggest
piece of effrontery we ever knew.

Those were glorious words of
Senator Villas at the tariff reform
banquet in New York recently.
Words which find an answering
echo in the hearts of the people,
and which practical politicians had
better heed To the people of this
country, ''life is real, and life is
earnest" and they will refuse to
bear the standard of politics which
is limited some men want to force
upon them. Mr.. Villas said:
81 may add, for the Democracy of
the Northwest, in the pregnant YER
nacular of the street, that they
smean business. They arc not
fighting this cause for mere parti-
san success. They do not look to
the Democratic party as the be all
and end all of endeavor, but as a
great instrumentality of achieve
ment of benefits for our countrymen.
They want no want no platform for
the sake of words. They do not
care to formulate policy merely
to win an election, but they would
win an election to execute wise
policy
