The question of affording employment
for the convicts of the state is just now
being discussed. A farmer, J. B. Near
thur, of Wheatland, writes a letter to
the Fargo Republican protesting against
the proposed advertising for bids for the
prison labor and adds that he, as a
farmer, will gladly pay his share to sup.
port the prison, but he strongly objects
to any system of prison contract that
will place convict labor in competition
with FREQ and honest labor. There are,
of course. serious objections to the con
tract system, but some sort of labor
ought to be provided for the convlcts
1t is possible that they might be used to
mine the coal that is used in the various
state institutions. Whether this scheme
is feasible or not the TRIBUNE does not
pretend to say.

The Chicago News, democratic, does
not take kindly to Hills candidacy for
president, and sounds the warning

The strength of David B. Hill must not
be moderated. 1t is greater than his
enemies will openly admit and it is by no
means confined to New York.
On the contrary, the audacious senator,
the idol OF Tammany, is the inspiration
and hope of the greater element of his
ness commends him to the "practlcal"
spirits Of the democracy. He has all the
prestige OF succesS-and nothing succeeds
like success.
Bold in action, nlmble in changing front
when occasion demands, contemptuous of
that sentiment in politics. which Mr..
Cleveland celebrated in his Ann Arbor ad-
dress, as willy as a serpent, keen on the
scent of an advantage, ready to seize upon
any hopeful e%xpedient, defiant of ~virtuous
opinion when it clashes with his ambition,
David B. Hill, in Chicago as in New York,
in Indiana as in Georgia and Rhode Island,
draws to his support every man calling
himself a democrat who has been trained
in that "practicap school where political
purity is derided as an iridescent dream.
And it is this class Of democrats, men
guI!tless OF any conviction, as innocent of
political principle as they are of moral
sentiment. that control primaries, run con-

The negotiations between the United
States and Great Britain looking to the
submission to arbitration of the long
pending controversy between the two
countries in regard to the Behring sea
seal fisheries has reached a favorable
conclusion. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British minister, and Secretary Blaine
have signed the treaty of arbitra-
ton. The treaty is subject, however, to
the action of the British parliament and
the United States senate. The board of
arbitration will consist of seven persons,
two representing the United States,
two representing Great Britain, one of
whom is to be a Canadian, and one each
representing the neutral governments of
France, Sweden and Italy.

sold his interest in the Fargo Common
wealth to his partners. Mr.. Gray has

he will return soon and take charge of
the mechanical department of the paper

part of MI. Gray. Few people know,
except by experience, how much more
satisfactory it is to work for q salary on
a newspaper than own the plant and
work for the bank.

GENERAL Passenger Agent Fee of the
Northern Pacific has returned from a
months s%ojourn in the east, during which
he visited Baltimore, Montreal and other
large business centers. "Everything
points to a large increase in western i'm
migration" said Mr.. Fee, land present
indications warrant the statement that
the increase will be 40 per cent. larger
than in 1891. The large crop of last
season and present favorable conditions
for agricultural pursuits in North d.
kota have given a substantial impetus to
traffic, and we look for a most successful
season."

as "oneS Of the rottenest bum burgs
on the Missouri river" and
her citizens as "thieves and thugs and
official plunderers." The article is from
the pen of MI. r. s. Person, of the
Howard Is. d. Press, Mr.. Moffet's
former employer. So far as congratu-
lating Mr.. Moffet upon his success in
the newspaper business is concerned,
that's all right-nothing wrong in that
but when his old employer goes so far as
to characterize Bismarck as a "rotten
bum burg" and her people as "thieves
and thugs and official plunderers''-it
ought to call forth from Mr.. Moffet
something besides it 'causes us to blush"
and tive cannot refrain from reprinting
the kind words" Why did he not give
thanks fo1 the kind personal mention
"honest, cl%ean-handed and clear head
ed Wooneocket boy" ETC., and denounce,
or at least refute the statements
~derogatory to Bismarck? He could. at
least and politely have said that Mr..
Person was mistaken-that Bismarck
was not a "rotten bum burg" and that
to call her citizens "thieves and thugs
was going too far. But no, Mr.. Moffet
quotes the whole article and heads it.:
at Makes Us Blush" Blush? He
ought to blush for shame. It is without
prejudice and without malice the TR1B-
UNE speaks of this matter, and considera-
ton of the subject is entirely divorced
from politics OF any position upon local
matters Mr.. Moffet has taken.
The TRIBUNE will not allow
to pass unchallenged an unjust
slur upon North Dakota, Burleigh coun-
ty, the Missouri slope or Bismarck, no
matter from what source. There is
such a thing as honest, decent %journa.
ism aud 10y atty of purpose, but MI.
Moffet has no conception of either.

THERE will be issued this week from
the Office of the commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor of North Dakota, a little
pamphlet on the "Resources and Ad.
vantages of North Dakota" which will
prove one of the most valuable immigra-
ton documents ever issued from that
office. It will contain in as brief a form
as is consistent with variety of subjects
treated, reliable statistical and descrip-
tive Notwithstanding the actual results
OF farming and stock raising throughout
the state of North Dakota in 1892, to-
gether with reliable information regard
ing the price of farm lands, vacant lands
still to be obtained under the land laws
of the United States, letters from farm
ers, and characteristics of each county.
This is an official document and has
been prepared with great care. A large
number Of these documents will be sent
by the Worlds Fair management to all
parts Of the world, the idea being to
acquaint foreigners with the regions
tributary to the city chosen for the great
exhibit before they come to this country.
The pamphlet is designed to answer any
general questions that might be asked
about North Dakota-climate, sell, pro.
auctions, etc. At no time in the states
history has the commissioner Of agricul.
ture and labor received 80 many en-.
quiries about North Dakota as since the
last harvest. The eyes Of thousands are
upon North Dakota, and the tide Of i'm.
migration is sure to flow this way again
this season. These pamphlets and any

With only a small portion of the arabic
lands of the state under cultivation says
the document, the farmers of North Da-
kota secured in one eason $50,000,0 900
for their wheat crop alone, which pro-
vides the sum of 1915 for every man,
oma and child in the state. Consider
ing the fact that the state is new and the
population limited in number, being
1919 by the United States census of
1890, the magnificent crops we're pro-
duced by a comparatively small number
of farmers.
Sufficient help could not be obtained
to harvest and thresh all of the large
crops to advantage, although upwards
to 1000 farm hands and 227 steam
threshing machines from adjoining states,
with crews OF ten men to a machine,
were taken by the railroads into the
great hard spring wheat belt to harvest
and thresh the grain, and yet the sup
ply Of help was insufficient, although
wages of 50 to $3.50 and even 81 q day
were paid.
Many farmers who had only 80 to 100
acres in crop realized a larger profit
from their produce last season than the
total valuation of their farms, teams and
machinery, and those having larger
acreages made fortunes in a single year.
Lack Of help so delayed farming
operations last autumn that much of the
fall blowing on many farms has not been
done. The autumn rains have placed
the ground in good condition, and every
acr that can be prepared will be planted
in the spring, and farm hands will be in
demand.

"NORrH DAKOTA FARMERS"

The Northern Pacific company
through it's general immigration agent
P. B. Groot, has just issued a publica'
ton containing abont 100 letters from
North Dakota farmers. As an immigra'
ton document this publication excels
any previous issue. It is said the first
edition of this publication comprises
100000 in the English and 100000 copies
in the German, Swedish and Norwegian
languages. Particular attention is paid
to the Missouri slope section of North
Dakota in this publications. region
heretofore not so conspicuously men,
toned in the railroad documents. From
Burleigh county there are letters from
farmers, J. A. Fields, John Clark, Sven
Pherscn, F. M. Leathers, Sam Olson,
John Lawson, Amund Thor, Geo. Hall,
NJ. H. Burton and Andrew Olson. From
Mclean county are letters from B. l..
Baardson, John Robinson anG John
r cutter and from Morton, Stark, Billings
Emmons and Kidder counties are numer-
ous letters giving the actual experience
and condition of the farmers.
This publication is a valuable medium
for bringing to the attention Of intend
ing settlers the opportunities offered for
success in farming and stock raising in
North Dakota, and the advantages which
the state offers for settlement. The
Northern Pacific will furnish as many
copies to applicants as may be desired to
send to friends, or mail copies in either
language if the names and addresses of
people at the east and south and in Can
ada and Europe are furnished to Mr..
Groot, immigration agent, st. Paul.
The letters give the personal expert
ence OF farmers and state in a convincing
way their success in acquiring in a few
years valuable properties in the shape
of rich agricultural lands, farm build
ings, machinery and live stock, and in
making good homes for their families
and making themselves independent.
There is a largely increased interest
manifested by intending settlers in re-.
gard to the agricultural possibilities in
North Dakota as evidenced by the many
letters Of inquiry on the subject received
daily by the land department of the rail-
road company and the state department
of agriculture.
The large yield of all crops in 1891 is
gradually becoming known, and if the
information can be widely disseminated
it will result in giving a substantial i'm
petus to immigration to the state if it
should prove, as it is thought is prob
able, that 1891 is the commencement of
a succession Of good crop years, such as
has been experienced in North Dakota
in the past, the population of the state
can be doubled in a remarkably short
period of time. A largely Increased i'm
migration to the state will result in a
material advance in the value of lands
and all property, and will therefore be of
advantage to all concerned.
The Northern Pacific publication so
far as its crop statistics are concerned
is made up largely from advance sheets
of the official publication of the commits
sioner of agriculture and labor, the crop
figures for 1891 being as follows:

Careful Handling.
Somebody says, and very truly, that
the frying pan has ruined more Ameri-
can digestions than any other agency
of the many hurtful ones employed in
the kitchen. There is a good deal of
truth in this statement, but after all
for one thing at least we should be
thankful, and that is that the beefsteak
has been rescued from the frying pan.
Only benighted souls still cling to
this mode of punishment. Broiled
meats are more elegant. more whole
some, and more palatable, but how
few really good cooks now understand
the art Goodness, what an idea. any
body can manage this part of the
menu says some one who thinks she
has gotten the subject OF broiling down

and YOU will find that madam commits
ali the old-time mistakes without 50
much as qualm of conscience.
Never wash steak if II can be
avoided, is the sage advice of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. This advice does not
meet with the appreciation of some
cooks, hrt these neat bodies are very
