In some places a man must pay . poll
tax II he votes, but in Kansas City he
must pay poll tax If he does not vote.
Four years ago . clause was inserted In
the charter Of that city to the effect that
whenever citizen failed to vote ct any
general municipal election, he should pay
o poll tax of $3.50. This would have been
calculated to make solid citizens take an
interest in municipal government if the
law had been enforced. 1t was not. how-,
ever, but the auditor kept d record Of
the delinquents, so that they could be
brought to time If necessary, The de-.
linquent taxes now amount to nearly
SEQ, 1000. The city at length sued one of
the delinquents as test case of the con
stitutionality Of the law and gained the
suit. Part Of the judges decision was in
these words: "Iuphold the tax upon the
broad ground that 1t Is in the power Of
Il state to compel its voters to exercise
the elective franchise. and if state can
do SO a city is invested with the same
power" ~, =.

What's the Matter?
Communicated.

0oAAA
DR.. Knox, president of the Red River
Valley University. was in the city Tues
day evening for the purpose of speaking
an the interest of education. In spite of
the tact that the lecture had been duly
announced by the press and from the pull
pit, the attendance was so small that the
DR.. did not deliver the address. What
reason may be assigned for the unprece-
dented conduct of the people of Bottineau
is not yet apparent. But it is apparent
that a little more attention should be paid
to the cause of education and a little less
to things of minor importance. The at
tention paid to these questionable amuse-
ments is a significant index to the prevail
ing state of morals in any community. We
all admit that every village. especially in
the west. has a number of miscellaneous
vices which cannot be reached by legislat.
i've enactments and the only way to eradi.
cate them is to turn the minds of the PEG.
pie into the proper channels and educate
public morals up to the required standard.
When we see the leaders of any communi.
~. with this fact in view. deliberately boy.
colt so able a man as DR.. Knox in regard
TO- this predominant question of education,
we may justly infer that something is rad.
ically wrong with such people.

Minnedosa Tribune: An event of sing
ular interest look place at Strathclair Sta
ton on the 28th ult., in the union of Mr..
II. A. Clack and Miss Kate Robertson.
The word singular is used advisedly-the
occurrence being SO remarkably uncom-
non in this part Of the province. In fact
the male portion of the community seem
to have totally forgotten that there is such
a thing as matrimony and have gradually
sunk into a state of utter indifference.
This event therefore has reused the leth-
argic spirit of the bachelor and all sides
we hear Of men about to turn over a new
leaf. The ceremony took place in Mi. w.
B.. Moore's residence. the service being
conducted BY the Rev. Mr.. Rogerson. Mr..
Moore gave the lovely bride away, while
Mr.. E. Blackburn supported the bride
groom, and Miss Roberts acted as brides
maid. Immediately after the rite was sol
emnized the guests sat down to the we'd
ding feast at which the usual toasts were
proposed and responded to. The happy
couple shortly after stepped into their car
rage and we're driven away followed by
showers Of rice and slippers and the cheers
Of the inhabitants. When about four
miles out they were met by a cavalcade Of
superbly mounted horsemen, some Of
whom wore Her Majesty's uniform. They
formed across the trail and 4 Of their
number read an address Of welcome home,
and with three cheers s~ufroundedthe car
rage and opened an escort which would
have done credit to royalty itself. The
pace from this pointsto MI. Clack's resi-
dence became rapid. and as the cortege
passed Col. r. Hogarth's house. a magnif-
icent boauet Of flowers was thrown to the
