This Office has been favored with a
complete catalogue and price list of
the Evergreen Nurseries, Of Ever
green, Wis. This nursery is well
known throughout the west, having
been many years established. The
proprietor, Mr.. Geo. Pinney, has
probably distributed more evergreens
and forest trees through this state
than any other man in the country.
Although he raises and sells millions
of forest trees annually, his speciality
is evergreens. He plants hundreds
of pounds Of the seeds every year,
and now has nearly three hundred
varieties on his lists, fully equalling
the largest nurseries in Europe, which
supply the nurseries and parks of
royalty. Of course, having such a
large trade and growing them in such
large quantities, he is able to give
better prices for the same quality of
trees than any other nurseryman in
the country. 1t is we'll worth the
while of any person to send for his
lists.

CONGRESS-
At Last Takes Action.

A bill has been introduced at WASH
ington requiring all baking powders
containing alum and ammonia to be
SO labeled. This is a step in the right
direction, and has been long fore.
Swallowed by the action of state leg
islatures, boards of health, food COM
m~issioners, ETC., in this matter. The
bill affords needed protection to the
public, for the evidence as to the in
furious effects of alum and ammonia
is very heavy; but it will nevertheless
be fought bitterly by the manufact-
urers whom it effects who are accus-
toned to sell their goods as "pure
Cream of Tartar" absolutely pure"
etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses a drug in his powder, the
name of which he does not want to
have printed on his label, it is prima
facie evidence that there is something
wrong. We hope the subject will be
vigorously prosecuted all over thu
country, not only as regards baking
powder, but also all other food adul
terati0ns.
This bill may incidentally benefi
the makers of pure articles, but if
should, this is only an additional poin
in it's favor.

Important Facts.

During the eleven months from
October 81, 1890. to August 81, 1891,
under the new tariff, there was ali in.
crease in IL foreign trade of $74,-
76S,639 over the value of the foreign
trade during the same eleven months
of lSS9-00. Then, what becomes of
the democratic assertion that protec.
ton diminlshes the foreign trade!
During these eleven months the
portion of merchandise admitted free
of duty was 47.7S per cent. of the
whole, as against 1922 per cent. dur.
ing the same period of the year prior.
Then, what becomes of the demo-
cratic assertion that the Mckinley
bill "raised the duties all along the
line!!"
Since sugar "a put OH the free list
and until August 81, 1891, a period of
five months, the total value of imports
of merchandise was $359,725,2O9, of
which $780, 33,497, or 55.75 per cent.
was admitted free of duty. The
democratic Mills bill proposed to adj
nit free only 10 per cent.
For the full year ending September
so, 1890, under the old tariff, the re-
ceipts from customs were $237,69S,.
1926. For the full year ending Sep.
TENDER 30, 1891, under the new tariff,
the receipts from customs were $780,
800, 066. 96, Il decrease of $4l, 800, 1925 40.
Then, what becomes of the demo.
cratic prediction that the Mckinley
bill would increase taxation and swell
the so.called surplus.
The customs revenue during the
last year under the old tariff was
$3.50 per head of population. During
the first year under the new tariff it
is $3.07. The exact per capita reduce
tion of customs revenue is 73 cents.
If, therefore, the tariff is Il tax, it is
now just 70 cents less u tax than it
was before the Mckinley bill went
into effect.
During the eleven months ending
August 81, 1891, under the new tariff,
cur exports of merchandise were $4O,-
0S9,323 greater than during the same
period of the year before. This is
nearly two and one.half times greater
than the average annual increase dur.
ing the twenty years prior to 1891.
Then. what becomes of the demo-
cratic assertion that protection di.
minishes the export trade, and shuts
us out of the worlds markets!

below is descriptive of the new egg

establish ut Dickinson:
AT Milwaukee we saw Il plant rum

ings, and IL poor grade of screenings

they accomplished the work, and the
sale which their product has had
against the best quality of hard coal
is phenomenal. Hard coal, the best

for $5.25 per ton, delivered, The
compressed fuel in this eggette form
sells at $3.50. Being quite we'll salts.
fled with the operation of transform
ing this poor fuel into understandable
fuel, we sought out the customers,
and investigated the burning and use
of this fuel. MI. Erskine expressed
himself as more than pleased with the
results, and we have practically con-
cluded an arrangement for the pur-
chase of the patents for North Dakota,
and the manufacture, on IL large scale,

when compressed will weigh exactly
the same and possibly Il little more
than hard coal. We arranged with
the Milwaukee people to manufacture
a carload of Ignite for us, which will
be sent to them from Dickinson i'm
mediately. The railroad people eX-
pressed a very deep interest, and will
be glad to foster an enterprise of such
great magnitude on their road.

John D. Campbell vs.. Dickinson School
Board.

After Il careful delibcration on the
evidence taken ut the hearing of John
d. Campbell VS.. the Dickinson School
Board, last Thursday, Superintendent
of Schools Stickney gives his written
decision OH Saturday. the 9th, a true
transcript of which is the following:
STATE OF NoRTH DAKOTA, } 60
COUNTY OF STARK. -
j. ID. Campbell
VS..
Dickinson School Board.
TO j. ID. Campbell:
You are hereby notified that the
following is u true copy Of my decis.
ion in the matter of appeal in the
above named case, held before me on
the 4th day of February, 1892:
From the evidence before me l am
lead to believe that the appellant, j.
D. Campbell, has neglected his duties
as II teacher in the public schools of
Dickinson in the following ways, viz
In having neglected to report to the
proper Office notice of beginning Of
school.
III having neglected to teach in his
department of said school the subject
of physiology, and having neglected
to teach i'll any way the nature of al
coholic drinks, stimulants and mar
cotics and their effects upon the
human system.
In having organized, without the
consent or c%ognizance of the school
board, class in Latin, thereby usurp-
ing the power of said school board
and exposing them to civil action to
recover money spent in supporting Il
school in width the English language
is not taught exclusively.
find that the action of the school
board of Dickinson school district in
%discharging j. ID. Campbell as teacher
in the public school of Dickinson, for
neglect of duty, was justiiiable.
V. II. %STICKNEY,
Co. Supt. of Schools, Stark Co.
The decision is based on neglect
of duty, the authority for which we
cite sections in their order, CORE.
spending with the foregoing points of
decision, from the general school laws
of North Dakota:
First-Beginning and suspension of
schools-Sec. 126.
Second--Branches to be taught in
all schools-Sec. 100.
Third-Branches of study-Sec. 78.
Fourth-English language to he
used and taught Sec. 80.
Mr.. Campbell has employed council
and is having the case pu in shape to
go before the state superintendent.
There is no small amount of feeling
in the matter, on both sides, and it is
not improbable that the case will go
into court.

AS THERE are to be four state

As THERE are to be four state
conventions this year-two repub-
lican and two democratic-the
Bismarck Tribune suggests that
Jamestown have the first republic
can and Fargo the second, Valley
City the first democratic and
Grand Forks the second. We
have no fault to find with this if
the several conventions give the
Missouri slope a fair representa-
ton on the state tickets.
