Hon. Fred bennett is on his way
from Washington to attend the spe-
cial session of the Legislature. We
would infer from this that matters of
more importance-to politicians
than additional appropriation to the
Worlds Fair and providing for the
election of presidential electors is on
the string. The election of a
United States senator for instance.

Tie Special Sesslon.

BISMARCK, May 31.-The advance
guard of the legislative leaders is al
ready on the ground planning the work
of the special session, which convenes
tomorrow. The state commission on
revision of statutes, Pollock. Hamilton
and Rourke, has drawn bills providing
for the election of presidential electors
and creating state board of electors
and canvassers. The bill providing
for canvassers is substantially the same
as Senator Caspil's bill, which passed
both houses at the regular session, the
senate failing to concur in the house
amendments, except that the new bill
omits the chief justice as a member of
the board, in compliance with the con-
stitution.
1t is stated on the best of authority
that while the schedule of the consti-
tuition provided for the election or state
officers in 1889, there was no such pro-
vision for the action Of 1890, the same
defect existing as in the case of presi-
Dental electors. The Worlds Fair
bill cannot secure more than very
small majority, with probability that
the appropriation will be less than
$4,000. Alliance members insist on
the enactment Of warehouse law, and
will probably not vote for the Worlds s
Fair appropriation unless they are con-
ceded votes for the warehouse law.
Some democratic members are talking
OF re-submission, but the prevailing
sentiment insists on adjournment on
Saturday, and confining legislation to
the work outlined in the governors
call.

SIMPLY this: Let us have done with
this miserable sham and delusion of
a protection which is really oppres.
sion. Let us have done with this
system OF bonusing part of our
people at the expense of all the rest.
Let us have a fair deal all around,
and let every industry stand on its
own legs, and stop bowling for gov.
ernment help at the expense Of other
citizens. And i!f the farmer must
sell III the open markets Of the world
absolutely without protection, then
let the miner and manufacturer be
content to do the same. Let us have
done utterly with these tariff dis
examinations which are bringing
farmers to the verge of ruin, and
bringing labor to angry insurrec-
tions. Or else let us have protection
all around. And let congress i'm
pose a Mckinley tariff on immigra-
ton. Let a tax of 60 per cent be
placed on every immigrant according
to his valuation, and so prohibit the
immigration of farmers and labor
ers. Either give us plain free trade
all around, or else apply to the Ia
borer and farmer the same doctrine
and aid we give the manufacturer,
and forbid foreign labor to freely
compete with American labor here
in America as we forbid foreign
goods to freely compete with Amer
lean goods here in America. But
inasmuch as this last policy will
never be followed so far as we can
see, we stand by the first. Great
Britain will stand by free trade for
all her tory Salisburys. And as to
America, no other country in the
world would be SO immensely and
Immediately blessed by free trade.
The doctrine of reciprocity is just a
big name for free trade with some
one nation in particular, as soon as
possible. We would apply it to all
nations. And while it is to the in
terests of the manufacturing east to
have. reciprocity with the South
American states, it is as plainly to
the interests of the agricultural west
to have reciprocity, which means
ultimate free trade, if it means any
thing, with France, Germany and
Great Britain, the great consumers
of our surplus wheat and cotton and
meats and corn. In our national
policies whatever the manufacturing
east needs and wants it gets. 1t
asks for reciprocity with Spanish
America, and gets it forthwith. But
when the western farmer needs and
asks for the same reciprocity, or
partial free trade, with his great
European customers, he is laughed
to scorn, and most of the papers in
North Dakota heartily shout "Amen"
to this refusal, and call that build
ing up western interests.-Fargo

Rev. F. Il. Nash On tine Tariff.

IL tHc eullor VI tile Argus.
Will you permit me to make a
few remarks in your columns upon
your editorial of May 20 entitled, A
Free Trade confession. Allthe daily
papers Of Fargo are lifting up their
voices in praise of what is called the
Protective System of Taxation. This
dreary consensus Of opinion daily
poured out upon us becomes very
monotonous to the many readers Of
these papers who dissent more or
less to the Mckinley ideas of politi-
cal economy. For one I dissent
utterly to those ideas I am free
trader, have always been one, even
in the days gone by when l was an
ardent republican.
Lord Salisbury like many other
tories has long been what is called
in England fair trader. That is
he thinks England should retaliate
upon all countries whose tariffs are
hostile to her, by serving out the
dish they are so fond of-tariffs as
nearly prohibitive as possible. If
you will carefully note the British
premier's speech you will see that
he says plainly in substance: No
one will lift up his voice in Great
Britain against the noble and glo-
rious truths of free trade. Then he
proceeds to state the fair traders
ideas as to retaliation; and the diff
Guilty of England's maintaining free
trade against all other countries. 1t
is not to be wondered that many in
Great Britain think as he does that
they should answer hostile tariffs
with hostile tariffs, and should treat
us as we treat her.
You start out with begging the
whole question, in claiming that a
country like England which cannot
raise its own food is OF all countries
the one to flourish by free trade.
That is one of the assumptions of
tariff worshippers. That England
has prospered under free trade up
to the present time is so clear that
no one can deny it. Since its appli-
cation, commenced in lS42 and
brought to its present state of prac-
tical commercial freedom in 1853,
the wages of workers In England
have fully doubled, in many cases
trebled, and today are so per cent
higher than the wages of high tariff
Germany. Free trade England pays
25 per cent higher wages than
France, SO per cent higher than Ger
many, and nearly 100 per cent higher
than Italy. Indeed she pays far the
highest wages in Europe. Yet Bri-
tain is, Belgium excepted, the only
free trade country in Europe. All
the rest are protectionist in their
policy. The enormous expansion
Of England's trade and commerce
and manufacturing dates with her
establishment of free trade and con-
tinues to this day. / do not dwell
upon the remarkable fact that wages
in this free trade country are SO
much higher than wages in her con-
tinental neighbors, all living under
protective tariffs so-called. But it
shows clearly that far from reducing
wages free trade increases the labor

WHAT LORD TENNYSON SAID
OF WOMEN.
Some Quotations That show His Opinion OF
Sne-iialf OF Creation.

Some Quotations That show His Opinion OF
Snc-iialf OF Creation.
Lord TennySon, who, many people
think, was scarcely less u philosopher
whose opinions are authoritative than
Il poet whose words are Il delight, said
in the course OF his career many things
about women. If he had been SO inn
portant, for poets are forced to say
whatever suits the rhyme" but as
he was a thinker also it is interesting to
see how he interpretS the puzzling half
of creation.
One thing that he insists upon is tho
indissoluble bond between them and
men.
The woman's cause is mans; they
rise or sink together, dwarfed or god
like, bond or free; if she be small,
slight-natured, miserable, how shall
man grow"
That places quite Il burden of reSpon-
sibiIity upon woman, but elsewhere ho
remarks:
las the husband is, the wife iS,"
which again places the burden on tho
masculine shoulders. Probably they
About the esteem in which she should
be held, he speaks in no uncertain mai
ner:
WHO does not honor his wife, dis
honors himself" and 1T is the low man
thinks the woman low"
His various heroineS were all little
above the ordinary.
Her eyes are homes of silent prayer"
Eyes not down-dropped nor over
bright, but fed with the clear-pointed
! flame Of chastity
! by common clay, taken from the
common earth, moulded 10y God and
tempered by the tears or angels to tho
perfect form of woman"
! Pure veStal thoughts in the trans
lucent fame of her still spirit"
Happy he with such Il mother! Faith
I in womankind beats with his blood,
and trust in Ill things high comes easy
to him and through he trip and fall, no
shall not blind his soul with clay"
She stood Il sight to make an old man
young"
SO much and much more did he say
of women. And they in gratitude may
! well apply to him other lines of his:
He rested well content that all was
WE'LL" and He crowned Il happy life
with fair death

FORCED GAYETN.

While the Cleveland MINISTRIES w"re
playing in Norwich, CT, recent. az "A
cident occurred which shows now those
who apparently carry the Gghtest

force their gayety through sheer will
power.
1t will be remembered that during the
first part of the entertainment John
Queen and Barney Pagan are intro
duced and take their places on the end,
says the Boston Post. On the night in
question Mr.. Pagan was standing In
the wings made up and ready to 90 Oh.
The orchestra was beginning the music
that was his cue, when messenger
boy handed him Il telegram. Mr. Pagan
tore open the yellow envelope and read:
Father is dead. Come home at once.
May"
For an instant Mr.. Pagan put his
hand to his eyes; then, the music having
finished, he crumpled the bit of ILL
omened paper in his hand, shut his
teeth and went ON. Strangely enough,
the first lines put to him by the inter
| locutor read as follows:
"Well, Barney, how is your father!"
Hes gone"
Gone? Do you mean that he IL
deadY'
Eyes, he's dead"
''Well, he led an upright life"
Eyes, and he died upright. He was
hung"
Those in the wings who were aware
of the circumstances watched Mr..
Pagan closely, but all the change they
could detect were the hard lines in his
face and set jaw, which showed even
through his makeup. All through The
scene he carried out his part hravely,
but when it was over he came into the
wings and broke down, crying like
baby. And there were many who cried
with him.
