State Political Plans.

r. E. Wallace who has been checking
up county officials in Pierce county and
other points,returned home yesterday. As
a member OF the state executive commit
tee he attended a meeting of that COM
mlttee Tuesday at Fargo Nothing Of
Importance was done except TO discuss
the best time for holding the state con-
'ention for the nomination OF state
ticket, which time, it was thought,
should be as late as possible next sun
mer IN order that delegates for that con-
vention conld be selected at the same
time that county officers were nominated.
No time was fixed for holding the conven-
tions to name delegates to the Mime
apolis convention, nor was the place of
such meeting discussed.
The committee propose to spread re-
publican literature broadcast by sending
copies Of weekly papers snch as the New
York Tribune and others. This work
will be done in connection with the ma
tional committee. Matter for local party
papers will also be prepared and put in
plate form.

A Cold Winters Day.

The thermometer went down into it's
hole Monday morning, registering 20
below at o'clock. Tue wind was whist,
and smoke from the chimneys went
straight up into the air, in white clean
columns. The sound OF the engine bells
was subdued AS If cracked, the usual
clear metallic ring being absent. A
slight haze filled the air, and board
suddenly loosened on the sidewalk by a
pedestrian exploded Its protest IN no
mute wooden way. The stiffness OF the
early morning was delightful. Nature
seemed to be listening intently for any
sound. She has worried and chilled the
people for several days by an obnoxious
and penetrating wind, wind that fills
heated room full of an lcebere's breath
in minute, and leaves the occupant
with scowl upon his face and emphatic
language on his tongue. One cold,
clear, still winter day remunerates,
however, for many windy ores. The air is
tonic to breathe, the step is quickened,
the pulse heats cheerlly and the spirits
OF man aad beast rise IN satisfaction with
the festivities OF the weather.

The Ministers Resolve

The Ministerial association met Mon
day forenoon with the Rev. VIM. Gibb.
The chief business before the meeting
was the consideration of tho prevailing
destltution in Russia. After !engtheped
conference on the subject the following
resolution was adopted:
"That while sympatbizing heartily
with the movement TO contribute some-
thing towards the relief of the prevailing
destltution in Russia, and while willing
to cooperate in any local effort that
might be made towards this object, new
ertheless, in view of the fact that any
action that has been taken by other
communities has been organized by the
municipal corporations, it Is the judge
ment OF this meeting that in any effort
that might he made by our own city, the
initiative ought to be taken by the like
authorities; that in this body the best
expression Of public opinion is likely to
be secured, and the widest sympathy and
support for the cause.

A Republican Club Circular.

The following has been issued under
the auspices of the republican league OF
the state, and is beng extensively circu,
lated.
70 the republicans of North Dakota:
Another presidential campaign ap-
proaches, and with it An urgent necessity
for the revival and extension of the work
of the republican league in North Da
| kOta. In 1883 nearly 100 republican
clubs were organized. During the inter-
vening years o. political inactivity lnLer-
est in these organizations has, in Il great
measure. died out. Now, that North Da.
kOta is about to participate, for the first
time, in the election of president, it is
desired tnat these old clubs be revived
and that new ones be organized. until
there shall be at least one club in each
ward or voting precinct in the state
This work should be done this winter
when the people have leisure. so that the
clubs may be ready for effective work
early and late throughout the campaign
Where clubs have formerly existed 1t
will be unnecessary to organize new ones
The old organizations may be revived by
calling meeting, electing officers and
are requested to call such meetings. Con-
stltutions and full particulars in regard
to the organization of new clubs will be
furnished upon application to the secr.-
tary.
A list of club officers Is indispensable
to the efficient prosecution of league
work. The secretary desires to obtain
such list and club secretaries are re-
quested to report the names and num-
bers OF clabs, together with the names of
club presidents and secretaries.
The republican press Of the state is
earnestly requested to cooperate in the
work of revival and extension. In other
states the league has become valuable
and almost indispensable campaign aux
iliary. It is an easy and natural medium
Of organization. It invariably results in
healthier and more active republican
ism. 1t is permanent organization,
constantly efficient in the party service.

That Tax Decision,

Editor Alert: thank you for the paper
containing your article from the Fa'go
Argus written by Spald,ng & Phelps, at
torneys, IN which they try to make a per-
sonal attack on me for my dealings with
one of their clients, and as much as say
ing by that, that if did not treat their
clients as they think it right in private
business matter, therefore, for that reason,
the North Dakota supreme court is right
in annulllDg the state revenue law and
that is their logic. But Messrs. Spalding
t. Phelps did not tell the truth about
what they said. Mr.. William Collins is
their client. Our bank firm made the
North Dakota tax sale Investments IN
my name. 1t is no secret that we "kick'
because the supreme court decision
makes us to loee our investments. When
I wrote up that decision I had no per.
sonal knowledge of the facts that 8. & P.
set forth about their client. But I now
know that our firm never tried to conceal
the tax sale from Mr.. Collins, and ac-
cording to what S. Il P. state, their client
knew that his taxes we're not paid before
there was a tax title deed. And the only
proposition of which wo know anything
was made in writing on Sept. 4. 1891, to
Spalding Il Phelps for their client to
quit clam the land for two (2) dollars an
acre, and that was before We knew of the
supreme court decision. Mr.. Collins did
and had right to decline to pay that
This is all the bad treatment Mr.. Collins
suffered. If he accidentally omitted tc
pay his tax for the year the land was
sold he never even claimed that of us
But now Mr.. Collins would not pay us
the principal We advanced for him and
the supreme court says he need not, mol
need anybody redeem any land sold fol
tpxes, or pay any tax on past assessment
And if the people and newspapers of Da'
kota wish to keep the decision in the
dark or are satisfied with it, We can LOSE
our money If North Dakota can afford tt
endorse the supreme court. But yor
ought to allow me this statement on the
personal matters charged by the Fargo
lawyers named, and that will end tn,
matter. The decision is agtod thing TO
the lawyers. 1t is for the land owner
to decide whether they will pay thel
taxes to the county treasurers or tn
lawyers. They will do which ever i
cheapest. Yours truly,
AMOS STECKEI.
