Fft.ct of War ON French Population.

Fleet Of War on French Population.
There is no increase in the population
o. France, and it is charged to the large
number which have been sacrificed iii
war. III. Lagneau has submitted to
the French AZ ademy al estimate OF the
losses France has sustained in this way
during the century from 1891 to 1880.
Under Napoleon /. there were l,5OO, 900
titled in battle and as many more died
from disease. In the Crimean war 10, COI
ire reported as killed in action, but
$3.50 died in hospitals. During the
franco-German war, including ,he re-
beliion under the commune, l,3O9,0 600
nre said to haze been sacrificed. The
estimate for the century is 6, 165, 900, an
average Of 5l,65O each year. Such a
araft on a population of 5000, 900 cpn-
,ot help being felt, and it is not aston
shing, since the army takes the young
md vigorous. that the increase of popu-
alton 10 prevented.

HOMELESS PEOPLE.
Terrible DestltutiOn Caused by the
Continued Floods Along the
mississippi.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 23.-The
destitution among the flood sufferers,
white as we'll as black, between Little
Rock and the mouth is appalling. This
city and its vicinity is filled with thous-
ands OF refugees. The cotton crop all
along the river is totally destroyed and
it is hard to tell on what farmers will
live. The government boat G. B.
Reese arrived here this evening from
the upper river where she supplied
1,50O half famished people on seventeen
different landings with provisions fur
nished by the citizens of Little Rock.
Hundreds of people were taken along
and put off on dry places. At Eagles
Landing 12O people were found living
in three houses. Three men were seen
drowning by the crew and four were
rescued from the house tops where
they for four hours found refuge. The
town OF Auburn is flooded, owing to a
break in the Brunson Levee The
rich plantations of Bankhead, Green
Bank and Swan Lake are entirely SUBJ
merged and the planters refuse further
supplies to their hands.

Sr. LOUIS, May 22.-The situation
in the inundated districts of this sec

yesterday. During the "a hours ended
at IL O'Clock tonight the water has
fallen .25 of a foot. 1t is thought the
fall will continue throughout the night
and that by tomorrow noon a slight
rise will commence. A large number
OF sufferers by the flood are being fur
nished with food and shelter by those
having charge Of the distribution of
relief. Up to 6 O'Clock tonight over
$4,000 in cash has been subscribed to
the various relief funds and large
amount of provisions and clothing has
also been contributed.

The Fargo Republican attempts
to Throw the blame of the failure to
provide for the election 'of presiden-
tial electors on the "fmmer'' legis-
lature. AS there !,were but seven
alliance or independent members in
both houses it is not easy to see how
the farmers of the state are to be
held responsible for the failure of
that necessary bit Of legislation,
which if it had been attended to,
would have saved the state several
thousand dollars, at least.
There is no use trying to dodge
the responsibility. 1t belongs to
the entire Legislature, which was an
cxtravagant and reckless one to a
degree not witnessed even in terri
torial days. If the responsibility is
to be placed on any party neither
the independent nor the democratic
party is responsible for the mistakes
of the last assembly, for both were
in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Alert.

chaos of tariff wars. There could not
be imagined a more baseless illusion.
Throughout England scarcely any
Tory paper of position or intellectual
weight has failed to express it's regret
that such misleading nonsense should
have been uttered by one in such an
exalted position. This censure comes
alike from the old line Conservative
press and the Liberal Unionist journals.
Ot the former the Standard, of the
latter the Times, leads the attack.
Both tell him sharply that he ought not
to talk about subjects he does not un-
derstand, and the Times today reprints
IN its telegraphic columns extracts
from the Paris papers raising it's indie
pendence in combating its own party
leader on Il question of principle. I'm
doubtedly there are a good MANY work.
lngmen and farmers, some of them in
the Liberal party, whom talk of this
sort attracts. So there are people in
both the American parties who would
be fascinated by a proposal for unlim-
tied greenback currency. 1t would be
no more absurd to take them as guides
to American opinion than to assume
that the fair traders" represent Eng
lish economic sentiment.
FREE TRADE THROUGH AND THROUGH.
SIn truth, discussion of the incident
in the press of both the British parties
has made it clearer than ever before
that England is free trade through and
through. 1t is no longer at all a matter
OF sentiment, but one of cold business.
Nineteen-twentieths of the adult males
OF these islands comprehend with en-
tire lucidity the fact they prosper. as a
whole, vastly beyond other nations
more favored in location, elm ate, and
soil simply because these other nations
make fools of themselves by building
tariff walls and setting their people to
eating one another behind them, leav-
ing England free to range the habitable
globe for trade. So perfectly grounded
is this understanding now that when
Salisbury is led by his aristocratic ig-
norance OF commerce into limiting at a
charge, not even the exigencies of a
pending general election restrain his
own party editors from reading him a
public reproof.'

MADE A BARGAIN,
"a Story Respecting Our

Relations With G Great Britain.
CHICAGO, May 22.-The Tribune to-
day publishes London cable from
Harold Frederick which says:
"Late tonight 1 get from a quarter
the authority of which regard as alb
solute a strange STORY. By its light
Salisbury would seem to be, after all,
not such wild talker as he seemed to
be in his protection speech at Hastings
Wednesday.
':The statement is that when Sails
bury consented that England should
become a party to the forthcoming BIZ
metallic conference he expected price
from President Harrison. This price
was the presidents consent to use his
discretionary powers, under reciprocity
acts allied with the Mckinley bill, to
admit free of duty number of English
manufactured goods. These, as given
to me, are Sheffield cutlery, plated
ware Of Birmingham, and certain other
metal products of the industrial North.
It is said that Harrison will in some
fortnight's time issue a proclamation
placing these on the free list. Imme-
diately this is done dissolution will be
declared here, and reliance will be
placed on the reaction this will cause
among the workingmen in favor of the
government. This will be a plausible
explanation of Salisbury's otherwise
unaccountable talk in favor of differ
ential duties. even if it did not come
from source which I am warranted
in describing as authoritative.
II dare say the protectionist journals
in America have already made much
of the premier's words as Indicating
that the English people have at last
discovered the error Of their free trade

turn to the antiquated commercial

Thousands of Flood Sufferers Along
the Arkansas.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, May 22.-The
destitution of flood sufferers up and
down the Arkansas river is dreadful.
In the Slum bayou and White Bluff
district the water is so high that boats
had to be sent there to rescue the peo-
pie. The steamer Anna B. Adams
brought l 200 refugees here this morn
ing and 22O more were landed this
afternoon by the government boat
Cleveland. The officers of the Adams
report two women and child drowned
by falling from skiff. The husbands
climbed trees and were rescued. Both
steamers have returned to the flooded
localities to bring relief to other suffer-
ers. A telegram received here this
evening states that the town of Althei-
mer, 20 miles north from here, is under
three feet of water. The citizens here
are doing all in their power for the
sufferers and the war department is
rendering valuable assistance.

Binding twine has been added to

'ocratic house, in pursuance of Chair
man springer's policy, is cutting
into the Mckinley schedule of tariff

convention at Grand Forks, while
largely copied from some written ages
ago, contain some ridiculous sentences.
In alluding to the Mckinley bill it says
lit has added materially and unnecess-
airily to the cost of the necessaries of
life, While eXempting from taxation
many articles of luxury The Globe
would challenge any democrat alive to
give it a list OF the necessities of life
which the Mckinley bill has advanced
the cost of, for publication. AS the ed
itor of the Wahpeton Times was Il
member of the above mentioned COM
mittee on resolutions, this challenge is
directed particularly to Wahpe-
ton Times.
The above was published in the Globe
several weeks ago. No answer has been
made to it. The Globe now insists that
some democrat reply to it and either
prove the correctness of the quotation
from the platform or admit it's falsity
Perhaps the editors of the Bathgate
Democrat or Langdon Democrat can
fix up this plank in their party plat
form. We would respectfully call their
attention to it.-Pembina Express.
Hold up moment, you fools, and
the CoURIER-DEMocRAT will bury
you in statistics to show that the
price of necessaries of life are
enhanced by the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill. For instance, compare
the prices of gloves, lace curtains,
woolen dress goods, flannel wrap
pers, pearl, vegetable ivory, braid,
crochet buttons, woolen hosiery,
worsted coatings, astrakhan cloth,
corduroy cloth, silk, plush, etc., un-
derwear of various kinds, scissors,
corsets, pocket knives, domestic
woolen blankets, spreads, quilts, mo-
hair braids, laces, neckties, foreign
umbrellas, parasols, cotton and linen
handkerchiefsSetc., and hundreds of
articles used by the common people
every day. Common lace curtains
that formerly cost 81! cents pair,
now cost As cents. Those that cost
50 now cost $2.4O. Pearl buttons
have advanced from $40 to Sl4 per
gross. Common wooden astrakhan
coats $3.50 instead of $3.50 a yard.
Woolen hosiery has advanced from
81 to so cents a pair. Underwear
has advanced from 10 to 25 per cent.
Glassware has gone up from 6 to 20
per cent, and crockery from 5 to -
per cent. The price Of common for
eign window glass has advanced 80
per cent; ground glass lo4 per cent;
Common American window glass
l7g to 33 per cent. Lumber Of all
grades right here In Langdon, costs,
on the average, about $3.50 per
thousand more than it did before
the Mckinley bill went into effect.

Sow Oats And Barley.

This has been an off year for agri-
culture up to date. The daily press
for weeks has been laden with doleful
tales of over1lowing rivers and flooded
fields throughout the Mississippi Val
ley. The great state of Illinois that
last year raised over 100, 100000 bushels
of oats did not succeed in getting one
fourth of its oat acreage sown this
spring. Not a kernel of corn has been
planted in that state or its sister state
Iowa.
Farm work has been at complete
standstill III these and adjoining states
since April 1st. The farmers in conse-
quence are in despair. No corn planted
in the corn belt by May Goth is unpre-
cedented and it means, under the most
favorable circumstances henceforth,
the shortest crop for years. Illinois
and Iowa farmers acknowledge that
they must look to North Dakota for
their oats this season, for after May 1st
oats cannot be sown in their latitude
with any certainty of crop. In the
Red River Valley it is safe to seed that
crop till June to 10. With the cer-
tainty of short corn and oat crop in
the Mississippi Valley it will be OBJ
vious wisdom for our farmers to SOW
as large an acreage of oats and barley
as possible for the strong probability is
that both will be in demand at profit
able prices this fall.-Daily Herald.

That such tissue of falsehoods,
should eminate from the headquar-
ters of the G. N. Railway, does not
surprise us in the least, but that the
commissioners, who are paid muni-

the people, should allow themselves
to be gulled in such manner and
to allow a matter of grave impor-
tance to large number of farmers
drop, without at least an attempt to
investigate the statement of rail-
way magnate, is beyond comprehen-
