OFFICIAL CROP STATISTICS.

Some interesting and instructive sta
tistics are now being issued from the
office. of the commissioner of agriculture
and labor of North Dakota. From these
it is learned that all previous estimates
of the wheat crop of 1891 for this state
have been too low by fully 20 per cent.
The following figures for 1891 are for
what is claimed to be the tota! amount
of wheat raised, and do not make any
allowance for the waste or loss occa-
stoned by failure to get the threshing
done in season last fall. It is impossible
to predict what this loss will amount to,
az it is q condition never before expert
enced; but it will probably reduce the
number of bushels of wheat to some ex-
tent-possibly to 6O,0O0,000 bushels in
round figures:

IT is not generally known, but lisa fact
nevertheless, that the circulation of the
democratic newspapers in this country
now exceed the circulation of the repub-
hcan newspapers 3O0,0oO,0OO copies a
year. It should be the first work of all
township, county, district, state and ma
tional committees to change this stu
alton, and to give to the party of intelli-
gence and progress not only an equal
circulation, but one larger, more power
full and more commanding. Republican
newspapers everywhere should be en-
couraged.

OWING to the sickness of the governor,
and the absence Of other members a
meeting of the Board of University and
School Lands has not yet been held to
take further action on the school land
question. Recommendations regarding
the prospective sale have come in from
several county boards-oorrecting error
and changing date of sale-and it is pre-
sumed these will be favorably acted
upon as soon as a meeting of the boards
can be had, and the sales made. The
Grand Forks county board recommends
that all lands whose leases expire this
year be sold not later than April LIST. In
most instances the alleged errors in the
descriptions as published, have been
found to be the fault of the county
boards.

The committee on election Of presi-
lent and vice-president in the house,
on motion of Johnson; of North Dakota,
decided to report favorably the consti-
tutional amendment to elect senators by
di rect vote of the people. Mr.. Powers,
of Vermont, alone voted in the mega
tive. The chairman, Mr.. Chapman, of
Michigan, and Mr.. Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, spoke strongly in favor of the
change. There will be a special meet
ing of the committee Wednesday, to de-
eide between the resolution of Mr. john
son and that offered by Mr.. Bryan, of
Nebraska. "While the principle that
senators should be elected by the
people," said Chairman Chipman,"
seems to be very strong in the house,
and a large number of bills have been
introduced with that in view, there is a
difference of opinion as to whether the
constitutional amendment should leave
that method of electing senators optional
with the several states, or should
be compulsory on all of them.
The first proposition seems to
be the most acceptable. Which
position will be adopted by the commit
tee I am unable to say, but I believe a
bill will be reported, embodying some
plan on the subject. II am in favor of
electing senators by the direct votes of
the people," MI. Chapman continued.
"There is a great popular demand for it.
I have no doubt that the election of
senators by a popular vote will give us a
better class of men in the senate. I
think that examination will show that
the majority of the best men who have
ever been in the senate graduated from
the house of representatives where they
were put by the votes of the people, and
where they acquired prestige which en-
abled them to go to the senate. They
became known in that way, and were
found out and selected by the people to
be proper men to trust with legislation.
The evils of the present system are 80
great that they have attracted the atten-
ton of the labor and agricultural organ
i~zations of the country. I have no doubt
that the great mass of the people demand
reform rs their only sure protection
against individual and corporate wealth.

induce Senator Worst to become a can

For a paper that supports democracy
-sometimes-the Fargo Republican is
rather severe on Mr.. Cleveland. "Greasy
Grover is very disrespectf ul, to say the
least. Mr.. Cleveland is an ex-president
ofthe United States, an intelligent Amer
lean citizen and gentleman, and entitled
to that respect one Observation-Disclosures
editor, lawyer or preacher-would pay
to another. Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton was not the worst the country ever
had by any means, and to again aspire to
this high and honorable position is a
laudable ambition. MI. Cleveland ought
to be the democratic nominee as against
Mr.. Hill, but the finger of destiny and
democratic stupidity points strongly to
Tammany's candidate.

THE great German paper, the Frank.
fort Zeitung, in it's issue of December 10
in discussing the success of the Ameri-
can policy of reciprocity, speaks of "tri-
umphant shouts Of victory coming from
tie United States" and says that the re-
moval of restriction against American
pork and other recent changes made by
Germany represents a great victory for
the American Union, a victory which
costs the victor nothing-a conquest
without a blow" The Zeitung then
proceeds to pay a glowing tribute to "the
superior commercial diplomacy of the
trans Atlantic state of the future over ef-
fete Europe, poor alike in blood and
thought" That this remarkable utter
ance of a great German paper is founded
upon a correct and exact knowledge of
the American doctrine of reciprocity is
conclusively demonstrated by the
article itself. The Zeitung supports
ite statements with a careful analysis of
oAo VI AOO1pAOCACy DIS AOl "u1hUcu
by Mr.. Blaine, and as incorporated in
Article III of the Mckinley tariff act,
which it is constrained to say shas
proven it's eminent wisdom most bril-
liantly." It does not hesitate to say
that "the commercial ideas of the
American secretary of state are entirely
original" and a great improvement over
the methods BY which Bismarck has
sought to obtain reciprocal trade for
Germany. With marked penetration
and acuteness the Zeitung says: "While
according to Bismarck's system do
nestle interested parties became used to
special high duties, and formed a solid
phalanx against any reductions or con-
cessions, Mr.. Blaine's system causes the
foreign exporter to profit by the reduc-
ton, and makes OF him a powerful ally
to force his (the foreign) government to
make concessions to prevent the re-
establishment of the American duties"

RELIABLE STATISTICS.

If the publication of the statistics of
the state, gathered in a thorough nan
ner from reliable sources, and with no
Interior motive other than compliance
with the law on the subject, results in a
''slump in wheat" az Colonel Morton is
pleased to call it, then indeed are the
markets of Liverpool, of New York, and
of Chicago extremely sensitive. Blythe
operation of laws passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, the commissioner
of agriculture and labor is enabled
through various agencies to gather much
more complete and reliable statistics

IT is maintained by some of the most
reliable newspaper correspondents in
Washington that the president and
secretary of state did not agree upon
the method of dealing with the apology
received from Chile. Secretary Blaine,
it is said, insisted chat the note from
Chile, dated the 23d, was sufficient apol-
ogy, and although the president dis
agreed with him, he finally yielded and
his last message to congress was the
result. The eastern press generally be-
lieve that the greater credit for bringing
about an amicable settlement of the
difficulty is due to Secretary Blaine.

amounts to more than all other taxes
combined. But happily in the case Of
North Dakota this burden will soon be
relieved through the sale of it's granted
lands. It would be extremely unwise
not to sell another block of school lands
this spring. The magnificent crop of
last year has excited the curiosity of the
whole world, and stimulated in a marked
degree, the enquiry and demand for farm
lands in the wheat belt. Some of these
lands are under lease, it is true, but in
many instances only a few cents an acre
is being realized. Take Trail county
for instance. It is said the rentals only
return a revenue to the county of 26
cents an acre, while the lands sold thus
far have brought an average of $26 an
acre, and as the Banner says TAT 6 per
cent. the state would thus receive $1.56
each year per acre, as against 26 cents
for rentals" All monies received from
the sale of school lands are held in trust
by the state. The principal can never
be used. Only the interest is available.
The money a be invested only in state
bonds, bonds of the United States, and
first mortgages on farm lands in the state
not exceeding IN amount one-third of
the actual value. Thus it will be seen
that as the principal and interest in-
crease-the latter being used exclusively
for the benefit of all the schools in the
state-the burden of tax decreases. OF
course it would not be wise to sell lands
at a sacrifice, but there is every reason
to believe that lands sold this season
will bring a good price. The average
last year was over 800 an acre, which
for raw prairie land was certainly u good
price. No n need have any apprehen-
sion about the future of the school. In
all probability it will be so large by the
close of this century, the interest from it
will run the schools of the state without
taxing the people a cent, and half the
school lands will not be sold at that. We
had better, therefore, pay some attention
to relieving the burdens Of the struggling
settlers at this time.
