Senator Sherman said last week that
it was hopeless to expect useful legisla-
tion in presidential year. and there
are few points upon which our foreign
critics have borne more strongly than
the amount Of time we waste in political
wrangles. But glaring as may be our
shortcomings we have never approxi-
mated the deadlock in British legisla-
tion. The House of Commons is
swamped with business through which
it cannot make progress, largely be-
cause of the head wind from Ireland
which never goes down.
AS single example of the check
given to necessary work by the absorp-
tion of Parliament in the Irish problem
and the tangled mass of related ques-
tions, take the report of a select COM
mittee of the Commons three years ago
emphatically in favor of the restriction
and regulation of immigration on lines
similar to those drawn at American
ports. 1t was admitted on all sides that
bill based on the committees recon-
mendations would be extremely popu-
lar, but no such bill has been introduced
from that day to this because there
never has been an hour when such
bill could have got hearing.
Home Secretary Matthews is trying
to push the matter this summer, but
there is absolutely no prospect at pres
ent of legislation. The urgency of the
subject may be judged from the fact
that of the swarms of aliens pressing to
Liverpool to embark for this country
considerable numbers of the obviously
destitute and diseased, who are turned
back by the ship-owners as certain to be
refused a landing at New York and to
be left ON the hands of the steamship
companies for return passage, remain
in England, which thus makes annually
an expensive addition to her pauper pop
ulation. Without counting those origi-
nally headed for America, Col. Howard
Vincent, who has been looking into the
matter, estimates that in the last twelve
months no fewer than 10000 destitute
foreigners have come into England from
the Continent and become, very many
of them, charges upon the charities Or
ganizations.
And at this great and preventable
drain upon her resources England looks
on. uneasy, knowing the remedy but
powerless to apply it because she has
little time to do anything but re-argue,
bitterly but wearily, the old, old ques-
ton of home rule.
We legislate too much, it may be,
sometimes, but England can't get her
hands free to legislate at all.

Mrs. CLEVELAND has Informed her
admirers, politely, yet firmly, that she
will not sanction the use of her name in
the designation of political clubs. To
Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby, Grover has
written thus:
1t is, however, impossible for us to ap-
prove of the use of Mrs. Cleveland's name
in the designation OF clubs designed to do
political work. We trust you will not
undervalue our objection, because it rests
upon the sentiment that the name now
sacred in the home circle as a wife and
mother may well be spared in the organic
alton and operation of climbs created to
exert political influence.
The sentiment expressed in the above
extract, is commendable, in the highest
degree. Presidential campaigns are for
the election of presidents, and the names
of wives, mothers and children should
not be dragged into prominence, and an
undesirable prominence, thereby.

In speaking of the inconsistency of
the democratic party on the silver ques-
tlon-the ridiculous contrast of the
utterances of Mr.. Cleveland and the
action of the congressional majority at
Washington, the St. Paul Dispatch
says: "The contingency is a remarkable
one. Its parallel is not to be found in
our political history, and it helps to
bring out in the strongest possible light
the inconsistency and dishonesty of the
democratic organization everywhere
when the issue of success or failure at
the polls confronts it. If the friends of
honest money, who are unwilling to give
to either metal over the other any ad-
vantage by legislation which it does not
receive in the trade and commerce Of the
world, contemplate the support of the
democratic party in any numbers the
full significance Of the position which
the party now occupies on that question
should be made plain to them.'

The Northern Pacific will extend it's
Sanborn and Cooperstown branch about
forty miles this summer. The 500 is
actively at work on both it's Valley City
and Bismarck extensions and there are
rumors of a determination on the part
of both the Milwaukee and Northwest
ern lines to push their northwestern ex-
tensions a few miles nearer their ulti-
mate Observation-Disclosures sea-
son.. All these roads have excellent ter
minal facilities in Bismarck, and the
question of a grand union depot-the
finest in the Notwithstanding been
practically decided upon some time go,
has prevented the Northern Pacific
from building on its own account. 1t is
hoped the Norther, Pacific will adhere
to this determination. Bismarck has
waited a long time for proper depot &C
Communications and having waited so
long it is desirable now that no building
be built until a grand union depot-one
that will be a credit to the state and
ample for the needs of the city for years
| to come-can be erected.

NORTH DAKoTA's old time friend and
Bismarck's especial champion, I. w.
Barnum of Brooklyn, New York, in a
personal letter to the TRIBUNE says:
"Sorry to see so much quarreling among
North Dakota editors. l hope you will ali
concentrate your work on the enemy, the
parties of fads, lies, political dynamite,
who if they had their way, would blow
themselves and all of us, into temporary
chaos; but thank the Lord, they are not
likely to have the chance to experiment on
us: the present house of representatives
has been quite enough for this, and the
next generation. Three cheers for Harri-
son and Reid and victory in November.
Three cheers for grand old North Dakota"
Mr.. Barnum is an intense republican
and has contributed much valuable as
sistance in the way of campaign talk
and literature to the national ticket. He
is a warm champion of, Harrison, and
some time ago received from the presl-
dent a letter expressing the pr esident's
high regards, and appreciation of MI.
Barnum's work.

WHILE the ministers and church peo-

WHILE the ministers and church peo-
pie of the country are exerting some in.
auence on congress to make additional
contingent appropriation upon the clos
ing of the Worlds Fair on Sundays, it
is now claimed the most potent influence
silent and skillful-is the saloon ele-
ment and brewers association. Every
saloon man IN Chicago, every brewer in
the country, every card shark and
gambler, every tough and every vicious
element of either sex in the Worlds
Fair city, are in favor Of closing the fair
on Sunday. The reason is obvious.
The good church peoplesof the land are
sincere and honest, but oh, how blind.
To close the Worlds Fair absolutely, in
all it's departments on Sunday, would be
little less than q national crime.

IT is understood the executive COM
mittee of the third party, in compliance
with authority given it by the recent
Valley City convention, has endorsed
Judge Corliss for reelection to the
supreme bench. 1t is presumed, of
course, that this action is taken without
advice or request from Judge Corliss, for
it is understood that that gentleman is
seeking denomination on the republican
ticket. Mr.. Corliss is reckoned as a
true blue republican, and it would be
a sore disappointment to his friends if
he had INDUCED in any flirting with an
outfit standing upon such a ridiculous
platform as that adopted at Valley
City. Judge Corliss stands we'll with
his party, and as a judge stands the
peer of any raised to this exalted posi-
ton upon the admission of the new
states. He is young, active, honest, a
close student and possessed of an ad-
mirable judicial mind. It is hoped
ambition for Office will not lure him off
after strange gods, and that the endorse
ment Of the third partyltes is wholly
without his solicitation or sanction.

HAD the Omaha convention NOM
mated Judge Gresham and had that
gentleman consented to run the cam
paign would have been intensely inter-
estipg and uncertain and the election of
the president might have been thrown
into the house. The candidacy of Gen.
Greenback Weaver prevents this and
insures for the republicans a victory
not al easy victory, however, for Gen.
Weaver is a blatherskite of the first
wafer, a plausible and taking stump
orator and capable of doing some mis-
chief in granger states among imprac-
ticable theorists.

SENATOR WORST, who has travelled
over $500 miles around the state during
the past sixty days visiting schools and
engaging in teachers institute work, says
that he has failed to hear one good
reason why Professor Ogden should not
be reelected state superintendent of
public instruction. Mr.. Ogden's Jul
cess in building up the school system of
North Dakota has been phenomenal. So
rapid and decided has been the advance
that two-thirds Of the states have been
distanced, and North Dakota stands to-
day the peer Of any state in the union.
Professor Ogden brought to the position
a ripe experience in educational mat
tiers. He has kept abreast Of the times

The Pioneer Press is author of the
unkindest cut of all. It says that "Gen-
eral Bidwelj, the prohibition candidate
for president, is a reformed distiller. He
used to make up the large product of his
vineyards into wine and brandy, but to
please his wife he quit the evil practice.
He now sells lis grapes in the raw state
and the purchaser does the distilling."
That's all right, provided, always, that
the General stopped manufacturing the
vile stuff before he had ali idea of head
ing the prohibition ticket. But the all
important question is, how long ago did
he quit?

UNDER the laws of North Dakota and
in pursuance to a resolution passed
unanimously at the recent special ses-
sion of the legislature, the penitentiary
board leased to a harness maker named
Smith, of Casselton, the convict labor of
this state at the rate of 40 cents per day,
per convict. A mandatory building Is
to be erected in the p~enitentiary yard
and the lease contemplates a period of
five years and the furnishing of not less
than twenty %convicts. Prison manage
ment and the question of convict labor
is a serious problem, and, while the
TRIBUNE does not believe in the contract
system, still it is willing to concede that
the board, after looking into the matter
thoroughly and visiting other states to
observe the progress and systems in
vogue elsewhere, has done what it be-
lieves to be the wisest thing. It is only
an experiment, and if the sentiment is
against the contract system let the next
legislature so record it. The present
legislature elieved that it was to the
interest of the taxpayers of this state to
reduce the prison expenses by securing
an income after the manner of other
states and in a line Of business compet-
ing as little as possible with free and
honest labor. It is neither honest nor
digniied to question the sincerity of the
board or attempt to make political cap
ital out of it. 1t is a question that
ought to be discussed pro and con, dis
p~assionately and fairly. If the next
legislature will make sufficient appro-
priation for material the prison labor
could be proftably employed for a year
or two in building a stone or brick yard
wall-a necessity that must be apparent
to all.
