DISPATCHES from London speak of six
inches of snow having fallen in South
Wales and causing great delay in rail-
roading. In South Scotland we are told
that the snow is fifteen inches deep. and
mail trains were stopped in consequence.
But mark the contrast. On the Sierras
there is fifteen inches of snow and four
teen feet of snow on top of that. and vet
railway trains make their daily connec-
tions with comparative ease. On the
treeless sweeps of the great plains the
snow is from two to four feet in depth
along the railway lines, but traffic is not
stopped. Throughout the East north of
the Ohio, snow lies at depth from one
to three feet, but hundreds of railway
trains run regularly and miss no connec-
tions. Only rarely, and in exceptionally
severe and tempestuous weather, is rail-
way operation suspended or impeded by
snowfall. Yet in England, Wales and
Scotland fifteen inches of snowfall finds
the railways SO impeded that traffic is
stopped.

IS THE GRIP COMING !?
Everything Indicates Its Speedy APP
proach = What the Indications Are
Concerning 1t A broad.

Concerning 1t A broad.
Reports from Europe which are appearing
IN the pal ers show that the grip has broken
out IN a most violent form IN England, and
the indications are that it IS commencing its
fourtn annual tour of the world. The Physi-
clans here In America report many people suf-
ferlng from symptoms which indicate the COM
ing on OF this terrible lourge. While there may
not as yet be an epidemic, there are enough
cases, and enough serious cases, to demand
the greatest care and caution. The proverb,
In Time OF peace prepare for war is one OF
the most ValudUle sayings ever uttered. The
seriousness, with all its danger. can be pre-
vented if taken in time, and if people properly
prepare tor it.
4here is but one way 10 prepare for the COM
ing on OF the grip, anu that is to tone up the
system, build up the energies, strengthen the
lie, ana thus avoid It's attacks by being thor
[ oughly prepared for them. This cannot. how
ever, be done except in one way. Thai way is
by the use OF some pure stlmulant, which viii
he!p the vital forces, increase the circulation
and strengthen the life generally. There is,
however, but one pure medicinal stimulanI
know To the medical world or the American
people. That stimuiant has been before tile
public for years, aud is eXceedinLy popular
Malt hisky. II is not an ordinary whisky,
bat urc medicinal one, Its popularity is
wonderful, and IL iS due entirely TO the tact
Lhat ii Is so superior in every way. For re-
| venting the coming of the grip il is uneQualed,
lof IL iOrjlIies the system TO Withstand lis at
tacks. Care should he taken that no druggist
or grocer sells you some other whisky which
he may claim 10 be Just as good. There is
nothing which can take its place.

FACTORS OF COMPARISON.

There is nothing in which the misrepre-
senting and anti-railroad sensational
press more indulge than in comparison
OF rates of freights and fares by rail at
the East and in California. But invari-
ably there is studied omission of essential
factors of comparison. AS Colonel Nor
gan puts it III his report, which the REC
oRD-UNIoN yesterday published, THE
best method by which the reasonableness
of railroad rates can be properly de-
termined is mainly by fair, just and
equitable comparisons, taking into ac-
count all conditions which affect them"
This is proposition so manifestly true
that the fair-minded man cannot avoid its
force. To compare rates without condi-
tions. OF road running through a terri
tory thickly peopIed, of level surface, free
from tunnels, heavy grades, and natural
obstacles, and where fuel is cheap and
plenty, traffic heavy, construction low and
maintenance at the minimum, with roads
running through sparsely-settled regions,
over high grades, through long tunnels
where traffic slight, production meager,
and fuel scarce and high is, as is apparent
to any mind, unfair, without statement Of
conditions. AS to say, that John lifts one
hundred pounds and William but fifty.
and therefore the latter is reprehensible
for failure to do as well as the former.
without stating that John is a man and
William a child.
OF this in railroad economics eyerv-
body is full informed and profoundly
convinced, except the stupid and per-
versely ignorant and the logged mis-
representing and conscienceless anti
railroad press of San Francisco. to wit
the conditions, physical, commercial and
the unavoidably artificial, environing
two or more business ventures of the
same general character, are essential iact-
ors for consideration in any comparison
of the conduct. cost and results of the
ventures. With these elements omitted
from comparison, there remains nothing
but two sets of figures proving nothing.

Judge Thomas Decision.

Judge Thomas yesterday rendered
decision in the famous case j. Il. Power
VS.. j. w. Scott. This case was removed
from Barnes county to the United
States court and involves the validity
of the tax and the tax sale in Barnes
county for the year ending 1856, and
involves the same question rs was in
yolved in the case of Power VS.. Larabee
which was decided by the state supreme
court. Judge Thomas holds that not
understanding the fact that the sale was
invalid and the tax itself void the COM
plainant Under rules of equity must
pay to the purchaser the amount paid
by him on the sale Of property and for
subsequent tax paid by the purchaser
with interest at 10 per cent.
In considering the validity OF the tax
Judge Thomas holds that his court is
bound by the decision Of state court in
requiring the payment of taxes with
interest by complainant. His decision
is directly reverse of the decision in the
state supreme court.-Fargo Argus.

THE CONDITION OF THE CROPS


Somebody is manipulating the re-
turns published by the bureau of agri-
culture would be the thought of a
person'who read the glaring falsehoods
given to the country by that beauti
fully expensive and Indifferent concern.
The latest Bulletin says: ''That the
crop in Dakota is about the average"
Now if this is bassd on the reports Of
correspondents, then there is truly
appalling desire manifested by some
hundreds of men in this country to
emulate Ananias. and the bureau is
useless because it's correspondents are
not reliable. but if the reports OF the
correspondents are ignored for the pur
pose of affecting the market, then
there is a remarkable amount of rot
tenness in the infant department, and
it should be abolished before it's hold
on the country become too tenacious.
The statement that the Dakota crop is
near the average is outrageously false,
and nothing will be gained and great
deal lost by denying the true state of
affairs. for if the price of wheat is de-
pendent on the amount in sight for
harvest. then let the truth be known
and let us get as much as possible for
what little grain the state will have to
sell.
The wheat crop Of Dakota IS thirty
million bushels short! There is no
doubt of it in the least, and if those
figures are not proven by the harvest,
it will be because they err in not max
ing the deficient sufficiently large. Out
side the Red River valley proper. there
is not enough wheat in this state to re-
turn eight bushels for every acre sow1
this last spring. In some few favored
spots there will be some crop. Travel.
ers from every direction confirm this
report. and from Bismarck, Devil!
Lake, Minot and elsewhere the reports
f are the same. Even the counties along
the Red will not by any means get .
full crop. Some portions of Pembins
, has no crop: the eastern half of Walsh
:. will not yield over sixty per cent; Crane
. Forks will account herself we'll off will
! half crop. The same is true of othe1
r counties. In fact 1t is matter of con
siderable doubt if there is more thai
twelve or fifteen million bushels to b,
, harvested instead of the fifty millions
promised by that institution which il
supported by the people Of this countr,
the department Of agriculture-ant
which is lending it's every effort jus
now to help it's bear friends in the pi
g to cover their shortage.
This is the state OF things in Dakot;
and the same conditions exist in MINI
esota, Iowa and the other northwest
: ern states-only more so. The spring
; wheat crop of this country is enor
mously short, and the people that hav'
wheat should get the benefit of thu
price that this shortage should make
