or a five gallon key at home and tipple all

state l see and hear these facts, and such
being the case l contend that the time has
come to make a change for the better.
While carefully refraining from approving
or disappearing of prohibition as q theory
l assent that prohibition as a fact is a fiat
failure in North Dakota.
1t may be a comfort to the bishop to
know that no one disagrees with him.
However, there is not so much failure in
the law as in the officers charged with
enforcing it and the public sentiment
that exists. The TRIBUNE speaks only
for this portion of the state-but it is the
portion giving the republican majorities
and it has no hesltancy in declaring
that the prohibition law can be improved
upon. The TRIBUNE has always believed
in local option, high license and strict
regulation of the liquor traffic. Instead
of that we have in North Dakota
"attempted" prohibition. The question
should never have been submitted as a
constitutional question, and at the same
time other questions we're submitted. 1t
is a question on which good, we'll mean
ing, conscientious and religious people
differ. Such questions should be dis
cussed and voted upon entirely indie
pendent of all other issues.

ONE O~ctopus-who represents himself
as the Bismarck correspondent of the
Fargo Forum-has secured unto himself
a s%corchlng roast from a number of in
dividuals and several newspapers-edi-
torially-because of an article signed by
him and dated at Bismarck, which ap-
peared in the Forum of several days
ago. Octopus in his article fully bore
out his name-as he seemed to have
tentacles embracing every thing. His
communication was both absurd and
provoking-to those whom he attacked
and the raking over he receives is de-
served-uDless the Biblical admonition
is followed-which doesn't seem to be
very popular in these parts.

HE Independent at Valley City takes
umbrage at the use of Governor Short
ridges name in a clothing house ad. It
says:
The Minneapolis clothing house which
made use of some friendly personal letters
from Governor Shortrldge to advance its
advertising methods was guilty of a very
little thing which reflects more discredit
upon the house thar upon Governor Short
ridge. Mr.. Shortridge is governor and will
continue to be the governor all the time
for the next two years at least.
just where there is any discredit re-.
hected either upo Mr.. Shortridge or the
clothing house it is difficult to discover.
A clothing house which would not make
use of such a combination of circum-
stances in it's favor would have been too
dead to resurrect. And as to the fact that
Mr.. Shortridge was elected COVER nor, so
violently asserted by the Independent,
it might be querrled, who the dickens
said he vas not? The Independent
must be stupidity and morbidly sensi-
tive. Shortridge isn't kicking. His
clothes we're doubtless all right and
who's business is it, anyhow?

IHE Fargo Argus seems to be getting
It's foot in it all around. Following it's
statement that NJ. N. johnson would be
a candidate for the United States senate,
and the subsequent denial in the Grand

members Of the legislature and others, in
the interest Of M. N. Johnson's Senatorial
candidacy. ''
Here, again, the Argus "tip" seems
to be one of those which have no foun-
dation, for in an open letter to the
Forum, l.. @. johnson, the brother re.
ferred TO-, says, regarding the Argus
statement:
The above editorial comment, as far

ever, to using my influence in his behalf

the republican members of the legislature

Tor oyer two years that he would not be a
candidate to succeed Casey, except oos-
slbly In case he was defeated for the lower

faculty of making bad breaks.

ADvICEs from Washington say that
northwestern senators we're handsomely
remembered at the opening of congress
Monday. Large bouquets were placed
on the desks of Messrs. Davis, Wash
burn, Pettigrew, Kyle, Hansbrough and
Casey, as we'll as on those of the Wis
consin and Iowa senators. Hansbrough
received a magnificent basket of roses,
while Pettigrew's collection of roses was
sufficient to fill a bushel basket. Sena-
tor Kyle should properly have received a
cabbage, had his own taste been con-
suited, but this was no doubt overlooked.

For the United States Senate.

Pioneer Press: The North Dakota
colony at the Merchants had it's numbers
increased yesterday by the arrival Of
several state senators and representa-
tives.elect, and one of the newly elected
state officers. There was no conference
in view for the selection of q United
Safes senator, or to determine on the
organization of the house, for the new
arrivals represented both the republican.
and Independent parties. AS to the
re- collection of Senator Casey there was q
variety of opinions expressed, but all
agreed that the approaching senatorial
contest will be one of the hottest ever
seen in that state. The republicans,
with their small majority, must be united
in order to elect their candidate; and
there are many who question whether
the party will ever agree on a caucus
nominee.
Senator j. H. Worst is a prominent
republican and has been in political life
for a number Of years. AS an orator he
has established a high reputation. His
denomination speech for Senator Pierce,
Of two years ago, will be remembered as
one of the greatest oratorical efforts ever
heard On the floor of the North Dakota
legislature. Although advocating a lost
cause he commanded the respectful at
tention of all, and vas highly compli-
mented ever by Senator Hansbrough,
the successful candidate. MI. Worst is
said to have senatorial aspirations, but
this he denies. Speaking of the question
last evening he said:
II cannot tell who will be elected to
tie United States senate; but we want
a leader who can unite the different fac
tions in the party. I would favor TAX
ing a candidate from Cass county if it's
Delegation can agree upon any some one
man. I believe that county should have
the senator, and L regard Hon. J.. r.
Smith of Casselton as a very strong can
didate. I want to see a caucus held and
the party unanimous in it's choice of a.
candidate. Now is the time to begin
our campaign of two years hence"
"What legislation do you look for this
winter?" inquired the reporter of Sena-
tor Worst. G>a
"The compiling committee will sub
NIT an elaborate report on the revision
of the statutes, and I expect much time
will be consumed in making and pass
ing upon amendments. Then I look for.
the introduction of a new railroad bill,
and understand that Major Walsh Of
Grand Forks has such a one prepared.
The platform and election bills need
some revision. The resubmission ques-
ton will cut an important figure, andI
believe a desperate effort will be made
to repeal the penalty clause. The.
resolution for resubmlssion, I believe,
will pass the assembly,"

The Beard as q Penalty.

When Macaulay went to a barber, and,
after an easy shave, asked what he had to
pay, the shaver replied, "Just what you.
generally give the man who shaves You,
sir" II generally give him" said the his
torian, "a couple of cuts on each cheek.'"'.
Some men are not SO niggardly to them
selves, and these are probably the cynics
who look upon the beard as the penalty
incurred by the eating Of the forbidden
fruit. And this is a theory that is at least
plausible, for the daily labor of roofing
out the martial growth that fringes the
cheek of the genus homo is a labor in
which the sweat of the brow is not alto
gether unfamiliar, while even the tears
have been known to, flow as from a heart
bowed down beneath a load Of SIM It
Is certainly disquieting to think that Eve
may be at the bottom Of that twenty-seven'

scientist calculates that a man has moved,

of business transactions IN the past. Mr..
Gould was ~chilly-very %chilly-bis
heart very distant from his hand. He
was possessed of some excellent traits
OF business sagacity, but still there is
little in his lite worthy of emulation by
the rising generation of young men.
Selfshness was a characteristic and
liberality and generosity found unproduc-

be said the world is better because of
his having lived in it, and it is hoped
his hundred millions of accumulated

The TRIBUNE is credited by a number
of North Dakota papers, with the state
ment that the artesian wells being bored
throughout the state are sappipg the life
OF the Missouri river and materially
lessening its volume of water. The idea
originated in a Bismarck telegram to the
Minneapolis Journal, and not with the
TRIBUNE. 1t is hardly likely that a
river which is fed by the melting snow
from the mountains and swollen in
volume by hundreds of tributary
streams, would be affected by a few
artesian wells. The Missouri is all
right and will continue to flow as usual
all advices to the contrary notwith-
standing.

The TRIBUNE presents President Har-

HE TRIBUNE presents President Har-
rison's message to congress in full this
morning-only a synopsis Of it's more
important features being given in
Wednesdays paper. The president
summarizes the reports of his cabinet
officers and the various departments of
the government in such a manner as to
present in the briefest space possible,
the wonderful development OF a nation
in the three decades between 1860 and
the present time. The feature of the
message is the reference to the tariff.
Still believing and adhering to the re.
publican idea of protection he advises
that the revision promised by the demo-
Gratis before election be now left to the
incoming democratic congress-, and "if a
system of customs duties can be framed
that will set the idle wheels and looms
of Europe i'll motion and crowd our
warehouses with foreign made goods
and at the same time keep our own
mills busy; that will give us an increased
participation in the markets Of the
world of greater value than the home
market We surrender; that will give in
creased work to foreign workmen upon
products to be consumed by our people
without diminishing the amount of work
to be done here; that will enable Ameri-
can manufactures to pay their workmen
from 80 to 100 per cent. nor in wages
than paid in foreign mills, and yet COM
pete in our market and in foreign
markets with the foreign producer; that
will further reduce the cost of articles Of
wear and food without reducing the
wages of those who produce them; that
can be celebrated, after its effects have
been realized, as its expectation has been
in Europe as well as in American cities,
the authors and promoters Of it will be
entitled to the highest praise" That's a
clincher. The result OF applied demo-
cratic wisdom will be watched with much
interest by all classes.

ACCORDING to Commissioner Raum's
report 222,937 of the S76,068 pensioners
now on the rolls, were added last year.
1t is now estimated that the maximum
amount in pensions will not be reached
until 1894. After that time it is esti-
mated the death rate will be so large
the amount paid for pensions, under
present laws and rulings, will decrease
rapidly.
