ANOTHER PROCLAMATION.

Under date of May 22d, an AS.
toria dispatch says there was a
good deal of excitement in China
town on that date when a long
expected document from the
headquarters of the Six Compan-
les. at San Francisco arrived and
was posted up Oh a prominent
corner of the city. 1t was hand
written. The following is trans
lation:
ITO our Astoria brothers, and
especially to those who do can
merry work: Your officers need
not telegraph to us any more.
You may feel secure. A cable
gram was received from Prince
LII Hung Chang yesterday. He
says that our imperial govern
ment is sending a commissioner
on the next steamer to see Presi-
dent Cleveland in Washington.
He knows what to say, and the
American law will be altered
when he tells the American presi-
dent what the emperor desires
Do not be afraid or leave the
country. You will not be made
to register. The men in the AS
toria canneries are good residents,
and we want them to be careful
not TO offend any American off
cials, because we will prove that
great damage will be done by
sending you out of the country.
Nobody who is working will be
sent away. We will send you
word again soon."

PATIENT DEMOCRACY.

The democratic party is a very
patient beast OF burden, so long as
it gets its feed regularly. Nothing
stirs it to revolt except depriva-
ton Of the offices. Everything
else it endures from Grover Cleve-
land without a murmur. He may
suspend the Geary law it forced
upon the last administration, an
tagonize the silver law put upon
the statute books by an alliance
between the mine-owners and the
solid South, repudiate the revenue
tariff plank Of the Chicago plat
form; he may fout the most cher
ished principles OF The democratic
party and defeat its dearest desires,
after the supreme hunger for office;
he may do all this and retain its
allegiance, so long as he permits
The distribution of patronage to
continue. The democrats bear
the autocratic rule of Cleveland in
office as patiently as they bore his
cool assumption Of the right of ele-
vation to Office. He is not more
detested now by the mass of the
party than he was before the Chi
cago convention met. His rule is
endured now, as it was accepted
then, because the democracy be-
lieves now, as it believed then.
that nobody else but he can give
it the offices. These are the vital
things to it. Principles are moth

lectual alien, for the mere sake OF
the offices. The republican party
never bred such an autocrat; in
deed, it has unseated leaders oi
greater power and less pretensions
because they assumed too much
authority. There is only one po
litical beast Of burden in the coun

The new U. S. cruiser, New
York, on her third trial run on
Monday, broke the worlds record
and won for her builders the larg
est premium ever paid in any coun-
try. When 21 knots was predict
ID as the speed for the new cruiser,
many hoped, but few believed, her
'ngines would ever be able to
drive such an immence mass of
steel through the water at this rate.
When she crossed the line,
however, with a speed of 21.09
knots through the water, and some
corrections yet to be added for
tide, the enthusiasm OH board was
intense. This gives the United
States not only the most perfect,
but the swiftest armored cruising
vessel. The cost of the New York,
exclusive of premiums for excess
of speed, was in the neighborhood
of $3,OOO,OoO. Her guaranteed
speed was to be 90 knots for four
consecutive hours. For each quar-
ter of knot in excess of that her
builders. Cramp & Sons, are to re-
ceive s. 5000.

ANOTHER OAIE1 .TY CITY

This time it is Ithaca, N. Y,
the seat of the far famed Cornell
university. There has been a
most vigorous fight for ''no license"
in this city ol some thirteen
thousand people with sixty saloons
doing their deadly work. Into
this place of disorder came some
sixteen hundred students every
year. The best citizens were
aroused here, as they will ever be

need of reform. We have at

The Governors Reasons.

In vetoing the jamestown asylum ex-
tension bill. the governor says: 1.-The tax
payers of the state are entitled to some
consideration, a fact which seems to have
been forgotten by our legislature and
several local institutions of the state" :"
He recltes the usual mode of issuing
bonds for state purposes, the constltu-
tional provision limiting the debt to
100000, and adds: rThe legislature rep
resents the people Of the state. If they
were acting in any capacity they were
acting as Representatives Of the state in
Legislative assembly convened, and the
statsN was speaking in the only manner
indicated by Law. It would make no diff
ference whether the legislature had au-
thorized these bonds to be signed by the
trustees mentioned therein or by the
governor and secretary of state, state
auditor or any other state official. 1t
makes the obligation thus signed none
the less the obligation OF the state and a
state debt, and that in excess of the con.
stitutional prohibition, and for that
reason is void"

Vetoes and Approvals.

Governor Shortr1dge has filed his rea.
sons for vetoing the public building ap-
preparations and the grounds taken show,
that outside of their being no necessity
for the expenditure, the appropriations
exceed the debt limit of the state;
also because the bills provide for pay
ment Of interest from, and are liens upon
land, the proceeds of the sale of which
can only be held as a permanent
fund to be increased but not decreased.
Other measures that have been wisely
vetoed, are the school of mines appro-
priation at Grand Forks, because the f.
nances OF the state will not justify the es-
tablishmenl of the school; senate bill 169,
bill for the preservation of game, as
the subject is covered by another bill,
signed.

Aberdeen's Example.

Attorney &. H. Seeley Of Aberdeen,
spent Tuesday IN jamestown. He says
that land inquiries are becoming more
numerous IN South Dakota, and in one
or two counties recently, quarter sections
have advanced from 800 to $500 each IN
value. The trading OF land for stock to
Iowa and Missouri parties, has had the
effect Of bringing men into the Dakotas
to look up their holdings and many have
become additionally interested through
this means.
Mr.. Seeley says that Aberdeen is hold
ing lts own very we'll, and that the health
of the city has been greatly benefited
by the sewer system which has been in
operation about two years. The sewer
age 10 run into small creek near the
city, and by being regularly flushed from
the srtesian water mains no difficulty
whatever has been experienced. Mr..
Seeley states that no improvement has
been 90 valuable and acceptable to the
city as the sewerage.

real objection to the sewerage proposed,
which Is not Offset by reasons overwhelm-
lngly in favor OF the improvement. The
vote on the question is not decisive,
either way, being only advisory and an
expression of the people on the subject
desired by the council. 1t is not seen
how any good citizen can object to the
proposition. The heaviest property
owners are IN favor OF IT and have petit
toned for it. Those who pay the tax
certainly should be permitted to do SO, if
desired, and those who are not benefited
pay nothing. Let everyone interested
IN the health and reputation of James
town vote for sewerage.

it as his opinion that if the state had the
power to erect building in the city of
Chicago, it certainly had the power as
we'll to erect an elevator at Duluth, or
any other point. There is nothing liz the
state constitution, he says, to prevent
the state Of North Dakota from purchas-
ing the entire city of Duluth should our
state legislature so decree. and the state
of our finances admit. Mr.. Standish
stated the elevator bill ia before the gov
ernor and there is little doubt but be
