The North Dakota Independent, tue
organ Of the present administration,
goes out OF its way to hit ext Governor
Burke, by declaring that "the people of
the northern part Of the state have lost
faith in criminals getting their just de.
serts since Governor Burke pardoned,
etc. Governor Burke pardoned one man
out OF the penitentiary for every month
he was governor. Governor Shortridge's
record has been the same and the TR1B-
uSE doesn't for a moment question the
business of this action. The pardoning
power is Il of the most difficult prob.
lens a governor has to deal with and
those who know the least about the mat.
ter should be the last to criticise. The
Independent is right when 1t says that
the pardoning power should be in the
hands of a board and not in the hands
OF the executive. 1t would relieve the
governor of great embarrassment.

again into similar channels. Intelli-
gence, enterprise, and genius would as
sert itself in the future as in the past,
and it would be but Il question OF time
when practically the same conditions AS
now exist would be brought about. 1t
Is pleasant to contemplate a condition of
universal peace. contentment and pros.
perlt!y for all, and quite another thing to
put theory into practice. 4 sliding
scale OF taxation is the most logical
theory. Remove the burdens of tax
alton rs much as possible from the poor
and add them to the rich. The mil
lionaires do not pay their proportion Of
the taxes. They have not borne their
just proportion in the past, else the &C.
emulation Of these vast fortunes in 80
short a time would not have been posi-.
bic.

CHICAGO will be immensely benefited
by the Worlds Fair. But few of her
people will suffer. The merchants
realize that trade will be dull after the
fair and will be prepared for 1t. They
will be caught with small stocks and
few outstanding accounts. After the
fair Chicago people will take a vacation.
The people who are likely to lose the
most and whose failures are being ar
nounced every day, are outsiders who
cherished the idea that all
they had to do to get rich was to obtain
q location for some line of business
any kind OF enterprise-in Chicago dur.
ing the Worlds Fair. Thus it is that
outsiders who leased land, paying there
for q ruinous rate, and who erected
temporary hotels, on the theory that
they would pay for themselves and give
q handsome return for the money in
vested. are being closed out daily. It is
noticed that very few of these enter.
prises are owned by Chicago people.
The latest failure is that of q New York
reetauranteur, who only four months
ago was worth over 100000. His en-
barassment is caused by the failure OF
his hotel and restaurant enterprise in
Chicago. The Worlds Fair is a great
lesson to all, but to many it will be at
an awful cost.

CONSERVATIVE estimates of the wheat
yleldin North Dakota this year now
range from 20,000,0OO to 2S,OOO,O 600
bushels. No matter how favorable the
conditions are from now until harvest
there cannot be more than half a crop.
'Of course in spots there will be nearly a
full crop, but in not more than five or
SIX counties will this be the result
What promised a full crop on the Mis-
souri, slope two weeks ago will not
average over two-thirds, except in Nc
Loan county, where the damage from
hot werther. seems to have been slight.

I xpe Giant Of an early turn

among the far western small banks, as it
is found that those institutions are
generally in a sound condition and may

The "bears" have summoned their whole
force of attack, employing every resourc
of rumor and canard and assailing almost
every important stock on the list in de.
tail. With allies in London, they have
also attacked our securities in the trans
atlantic markets, causing heavy declines
there and London sales IN this city.
Their forces have been handled in con-
cert and with great skill. and some heavy
declines have resulted from "short" sales
from which however there have been
quick recoveries upon purchases to cover
the sales. The unsettled condition OF
the London market and the bank
troubles in the west have encouraged the

clear evidence of its intrinsic strength.

ABOUT the best take off on the recent
resolutions passed by the free silverites
at their recent Denver convention, is
the following petition to congress from
"the producers of "copper"" through
their secretary, IL. U. Natic:"
To TIL PEOPLE OF THE UN1rED!STArEs:
The producers of copper appeal to you
for a just recognition OF the metal which
they represent. and ask your aid in having
a bill passed at the coming session of con.
gress, which will r%e.establish copper as a
parity with gold and silver and providing
for the free coinage of this metal at a ratio
of four hundred and fifty to one, Copper
is the true metal Of the people and has
been used for money for over two thOuS.
and years. When our country was in dis
tress and its credit assailed, when the
graspinX money sharks boarded their gold
duty and continued in active circulation
and was the only available means of ex-
change which the poor laboring man
could use for his daily purchases of the
necessaries of life.
The gold bugs of the east and the silver
bugs Of the west have lowered the price OF
copper and prevented its proper use as a
national currency. The time has arrived
for the producers of copper and the small
army 0. miners who are dependent upon
this metal for their living. to raise the cry
Of free copper or free fight. and to pledge
themselves to wade in blood up to their
dOnkeys' ears in asserting their rights. The
supply of copper is so great that it, better
than any other metal, can meet the de-
mand for an increase Of the currency. If,
with a free copper law passed and a fair
trial of it had. copper does not become as
valuable as gold and silver, and should its
adoption ruin all the business interests of
the country, we will stand aside and give
others a chance to experiment with u
pet financial theory they may have.
If foreigners decline to accept copper in
payment Of claims against this country, we
suggest the formation of an army to be re-
cruited from the states of Colorado, Mon
tana and the DakOtas, and to be led by
Governor Waite, of Colorado. This army
to be used for the purpose of forcing for
eign nations to accept whatever currency
the United States may see fit to issue.
Resolved, That it is not to the interest of
the copper producers CT the United States
to unite with the farmers who seek to have
the government establish store houses for
grain and to issue government notes
against deposits of grain, at the rate of 81
per bushel.
Resolved, That a copy OF the action of
this meeting be sent to all the commercial
bodies Of the United States, with a request
that they urge their representatives in Con.
gress to assist in the passage OF a bill for
the free coinage OF copper.

OCTOBER 18th is the day decided upon
for North Dakota day at the fair, the
theory being that at this late date very

stock will be made in hat month and it
is certain that it will be the greatest dis
play of the kind ever seen in the world.
