All For The Fair.

Provided the interest manifested in
the Fair association meeting Tuesday
does not suddenly die out, there is an
excellent prospect that the James River
Valley Fair association will not only pay
off all claims against it in full, including
several debts unpaid since last year, and
be in good condition to begin preparing
for another fair. The associations re-
ceipts this year, Notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather, and the short
notice we're such that there is probably
less than $500 deficient on all bills, In
cludlng the amount due on lumber and
buildings. It is proposed to pay every
claim including premiums awarded, and
put the fair in the hands Of number OF
the most public spirited, energetic bust
ness men in the city for another year.
One plan proposed is that the deficit be
provided for By guarantee from num-
ber of men. The creditors, the Gull River
Lumber company, it is said, are willing
to make any reasonable arrangement for
this purpose, the parties assuming such
liability to have q bill Of sale OF the
property, as security. 1t is not deemed
advisable to ask for further contributions
now, and under all of the various plans
proposed it will not be necessary.
Now is the time to insure the holding
Of big far next year, ii at all.

By nighttall yesterday the bulk Of the
exhibits had been removed from the
grounds aid the process of disintegra-
ton so nearly completed that but few
dray loads remained to be cared for to-
day.
Next year the Fair will be held in Sep

Of, with races every day and exhibits
worth gong miles to see. jamestown
can do the business in good shape, it any
town in the state can.
The trotter Maud J, became fright
ened by the band yesterday and for
several seconds made her sulky sail
through the air in exciting style. On
account of this escapade she limped dur
ing the remainder of the races for which
she was entered.
General Superintendent Wallace says
no figures can yet be given to the public
in regard to the finances Of the Fair, but
thinks the management will come out
ahead this year, and says those who have
given their time to the enterprise feel
we'll satisfied, considering the late sea-
son and bad weather on the last day.

Shanley Sustained.

Bishop John Stanley of jamestown
diocese, comprising the state of North
Dakota, has suspended Father j. G.. Per-
rault of Larlmore, from the priesthood.
Father Perranlt was formerly priest at
Mandan, and served as chaplain of the
state senate. The dispatch says that
Father Perrault publishes statements
that in June and July he fled charges
with Mgr. Satolli against Bishop Shan
lev, charging uncanonical conduct in the
general administration of the diocese,
unlawful and uncanonical misappropria-
ton OF funds collected for church pur-
poses, uncanonical appointment Of i'm
ported and unworthy priests, and many
other specifications, asking that Satolli
fully investigate the charges and offering
to submit document as evidence in sup
port OF the charges. Father Perrault
says Satolli failed to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the letters containg the charges,
and gave him no opportunity Of present
ing testimony, and that SatolG has dis
missed the matter by addressing a letter
to Perrault which practically ignores the
charges, exouerates Bishop Stanley
and censures Perrsult Accompanying
Satolli's letter is Bishop Shanley's SEN
tence of suspension.
Among other complaints OF the deposed
priest are Of his being deprived of 500
voted to him by the directors of the Irish
association to defray the expenses of
medical treatment; the refusal of the
bishop to allow Perrault to remove to
some other diocese for considerations
of health; his refusal to allow Perrault to
leave the diocese to take treatment at
St. Paul for failing eyeslght; together
with detailed charges of unworthy con-
duct by the bishop toward Perrault
during the latter's pastorate at Mandan.
1t is stated that the priest will not at
tempt to get re-instated but will begin
the practice OF law.
Believes 1t is a Fake.
Land Commissioner Williams: I ven
ture to say that the dispatch sent out
from Mayville, which said that the
farmers in mass meeting desired the
repeal of the Sherman law, and that they
thought the cause of low prices was that
law, is pure fake. l know a good many
farmers in that Vicinity, and it is one of
the strongholds of the Independents.
There may have been few farmers at
the meetlng-if there was any meeting
but the sentiments reported in the Min
neapolis paper are not their sentiments
on the silver question. There is scarcely

the tools of the pine ring were set to
work to prevent, if possible, the en-
forcement of the provisions of Sec.
Isl, for it is made a misdemeanor for
county auditors to refuse to place
the state assessors list on the coun-
ty assessors books, and extend the
taxes for back years, etc. 1t further
disqualifies the county officers who re-
fuse or neglect to do their duty IN
der the act from holding Office; sub
jectS them to fine, and makes their
bondsmen liable to the county for
the entire amount Of taxes lost by
reason of their neglect.
The foregoing provisions are tough

IN THE EMPLOY OF THE ITAsCA
LUMBER COMPANY,
achich company escaped taxation upon
SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH
OF PERSONAL PROPERTY last year,
and is only assessed at sixteen thous-
and dollars this year.
Yet, when poor woman brings an
action against them for trespass and
secures restraining order, their
head man. Mr.. J. P. Sims, comes
forward and seeks to have the in
junction dissolved on the ground
that the company is wealthy cor
poration of Illinois, and makes an
affidavit in support of his motion
to the effect that there is no less
than seventy-five thousand dollars
invested in their railroad the
equipment used in operating the
same, &C.; that it costs near five
hupdred dollars per day to operate
said road, &c. In addition to the
rail logging road the same company
have about one-hundred and twen-
ty-fve head of large lumber horses
and outfits to operate four camps
besides the stock and outfit used to
operate Jne log railroad yet, they
only pay taxes on sirteen thousand
dollars worth of property. The railroad
is not incorporated under our state
laws and pays nothing on gross earn
ings. The foregoing is fair sample
of the way our tax laws are enforced.
The Itasca Lumber company is the
same company referred to in the
said committees report of April 10th
(see Senate Journal page 1S and 19)
who handled the Government survey
and secured the claim and own the

EDITOR REPRESENTATIV

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
The present condition of the f.
nances of the country would indi-
cate to thoughtful observer, that
the time is ripe for advocates of f.
nance reform, to halt for a moment
and ascertain whether or not they
are following the dictates of COM
mon sense, when they continue to
demand the free coinage of silver.
Any one at all familiar with the
underlying principles and sentiment
of the peoples party knows that
nine-tenthS of it's members are alb
solutely in favor of the destruction
of gold and silver both, as money
metals. Why then, should we con-
tinue to clamor for the free coinage
of silver, when in reality we aim
at the ultimate destruction of both
gold and silver? Such attitude is
false. We know that we are not
asking for what we want. We know
that whatever relief we get from
free coinage will be only temporary,
and will in the end force us to face
about and tear down what we are
now trying to build up against our
own best judgements. We know that
we are pressing the demand for free
coinage as concession to the silver
producers, in return for their politi-
cal support. We know that these
same silver producers will become as
bitter opponents to pure paper
currency as are now the gold bugs,
once they are re-endowed with their
old time special privilege. We
know that at the present time
thousands of men are cropping for
light on this question who never
would look for it before. We know
that it is our duty to show those peo-
pie the remedy that we believe to
be the right one, and not palm off
on them bogus nostrum because
we think they would be more apt to
take it than the true remedy. We
are doing what the doctor did who
prescribed hot baths for nervouness,
because the patient shrank from
cold ones.
In the name of truth and honesty,
let us cease blowing hot and cold at
the same time. If we want a legal
tender paper currency let us say so,
and let us throw metalism of all
kinds overheard. If we want met
al basis money, let us say so, and
throw greenback theories to the
winds. But whichever we want. let
us be manly enough to be explicit and
singlehearted, and stand firm in our
demands, instead of trying to force
two conflicting issues bringing up
on ourselves inevitable defeat on all
sides.
For one, vote in favor of full
legal tender treasury notes, down to
fractional currency, not leaving even
the entering wedge of metalism in
the form Of fractional coin.

The Moving South.

Weaver received over 10000 votes in
North Carolina last November. Since
that date the Farmers Alliance of tho
state has turned Populist, and many
Republicans are talking Of throwing tho
o!d party vote into the Peoples Party.
II this Is done, the state will go against
the Democracy by about 10000. Thus
It seems that both Virginia and North
Carolina are In fair way to fall into the
hands OF the new party.-New Nation.

An Article which Every RefOrmer
Should Read.

We desire to especially call the at
tentiOn of our readers to one of the
most striking and important arti-
Giles that have appeared for a long
time. We regret that we have not
space to get more than extracts
from it., but we shall continue them
from week to week.
The article is from the March
April 1892 number of "The American
Law Review" published at St. Louis,
one Of the oldest and most distin-
guished law magazines of this coun-
try. It is entitled "Abuses of Cor
porate Privileges" written by Judge
Seymour D. Thompson, Chief editor
Of the Review and one of the ablest
lawyers in the West. We want our
readers to remember, while reading
this significant article, that it's bold
and radical utterances are not from
some populist stump orator, but
from a Judge and an attorney by
profession. Nothing could indicate
more clearly than this article the
abyss towards which the free people
of this country are advancing.

Have We founded your thrones and affairs, then
On the bodies souls and of living men?
And think ye that building shall endure,
Which shelters the noble and brushes the poor?
With gates of silver and bars of gold
Ye have fenced my sheep from their fathers fold
have heard the dropping of their tears
In heaven, these eighteen hundred years.
20 Lord and Master not the guilt;
We build but as our fathers built.
Behold thine images, how they stand,
Sovereign and sole, through all our land
Our task is hard-with sword and flame
To hold thy earth forever the same;
And with sharp hooks of steel to keep,
Still as thou leftest them, thy sheep"
Then Christ sought out an artisan,
lowbrowed stunted haggard man,
And motherless girl whose fingers thin
Pushed from her family want and sin.
These set he in the midst of them;
And as they drew back their garment hem
For fear of deflement, !" Lo here" said he
The images ye have made Of me-"

except when made a judicial ques-
tion by statue. In the Granger cas-
es, decided in 1876, the supreme
court of the United States declared
that it was a legislative question,
and that it was not the purpose of
the trainers of the fourteenth
amendment to abrige the legislative
power of the States in this regard,
which had come down to them by
Inheritance from the English Par
lament. Fourteen years later the
same court decided, on a writ of er-
ror to the supreme court of Mime
sofa, that it was not legislative,
but a judicial question; that a state
could not limit the charges of a
public carrier except by judicial pro
ceedang in which the carrier had
notice and an opportunity to be
heard. The complaining railroad
company had notice and full op-
portunity to be heard; but this did
not prevent the seizure of jurisdic-
ton made by the supreme court of
the United States. The supreme
court of Minnesota, in unfolding the
power of the railroad commission to
limit the charges of the complain
ing railroad company had, in it's
opinion, used language incompatible
with the theory which was now to
be promulgated for the first time,
that the question was judicial, in
stead Of legislative question. And
because of the mere reasoning in the
opinion of the supreme court of Min
nesota, the supreme court of the
United States, usurping jurisdic-
tion where no right under the con-
stitution of the United States
had been violated, according to the
facts as stated in the opinion of the
court itself, proceeded to reverse
the judgement of the supreme court
of Minnesota. 1t was thus guilty of
bold and indefensible seizure of
jurisdiction in the particular case.
But it had already been accustomed
to the making of judicial fulmina-
tions in cases in which it had no
Jurisdiction. 1t had confessed, in
the celebrated case of Marbury
against Madison, that it had no jur-
isdiction to issue it's madamus
against the Secretary of State, and
yet it proceeded to deliver a long
illumination upon cons titutiOnal
principles. The spectacle was as in
decent as the spectacle would have
been if Mr.. Jefferson, then president,
had undertaken to decide cause
depending in the supreme court of
the United States, or had issued his
proclamation announcing his opin-
ion as to how the cause ought to be
decided. The court had also, in
1910, entertained a case, concOcted
in Massachusetts with reference to
certain lands lying on the Mississippi
pi river, for the purpose of declar-
ing for the first time that the pro-
vision in the constitution of the
United States that no state should
pass any law impairing the obligation
of contracts, extended to those con-
tracts which consisted of grants
made by an act of the legislature of
the state itself. Mr.. Justice John
son, at the close of his opinion,
states~in substance that he had re-
garded it as feigned case, con-
cocted to draw the opinion of the
court, and that it ought to be re-
PEELED as such, but that he had
yielded his conclusion out of defer
ence to the character of the counsel
concerned.
