The Fargo Argus oopies the Tribune's

The Fargo Argus copies the Tribune's
article ON the interview had by Attorney
General Standish with Tom Lowry of the
500 line in relation to Bismarck's future
railroad and commercial development and
adds: "If these predictions materialize,
the long delayed hopes of the original
Bismarck boomers may be realized. 1t
may uecome the leadind city in the state
as we'll as the capital city. With its loca-
tion on a navigable stream and such
conveyance of railroad lines, there is no
reason why Bismarck should not, with the
settlement of our state, have as good
growth as Sioux City, or even Omaha,
further down on the same stream. The
state of North Dakota will undoubtedly be
prond of Bismarck yet. Fargo expects a
large and healthy growth herself, but she
will wish the capital city god-speed."

Raise More Hogs.

This is the thoughtful season of the year,
says the Grand Forks Herald, when the
farmers of North Dakota have more leis-
ure than at any other time; and this is the
time when they should discuss in all its
aspedts the feasibility and profit of diver
flying crops. For instance, there is no
reason why the number of hogs raised III
North Dakota should not he ten-fold
greater than at present. All kinds of
grain suitable for feed are extremely low
and pork in eastern markets is ordinarily
high. Present values are higher than they
have been since 1888, and only once since
1882 have they exceeded the present price.
In 1882 hogs sold as high as $685. iu Chi
cago, and in 1888 they sold as high as
$40. The conditions then were not as
favorable to high prices as at present.
There ls every indication that hogs and
hog products will go much higher. Ac-
cording to recent authentic data at hand,
there is shortage in the winter pack up
to date of 100000 hogs. and the total
decrease for the winter season, it is con-
ceeded, will reach the enormous number
of 100000 hogs. The present supply of
hogs at Chicago has been but little more
than enough to supply the fresn-meat
trade, and the packers can not got any
hogs to cut up and put in there cellars un-
less they appear on the market and out
bid fresh-meat deslers. So far they have
refrained from doing so, hoping against
fate that the hog supply would increase;
but the supply continues to be light, and
it remains to be seen how long they can
hold out. The conditions of affairs have
reduced the visible supply of hog product
lower than it has been for years; and, if to
these conditions be added the fact that the
export demand for hog product has doub-
led during the past year, the present high
prices are easily accounted for. Since the
American pork product was admitted to
the markets of the world the increase in
the demand has been wonderful. Gov
ernment statistics show that in May, 1892,
100000 pounds of pork product we're
exported, against 46,OOO,0OO pounds for
the same month in 1891, and in June
there were S5,OO0,OOO pounds shipped,
against 100000 pounds in June, 1891.
There is every reason to presume that the
export demand in 1898 will almost double
that of 1892, which, taken with the enor
nous shortage in the supply, the fact that
the great packers have practically ceased
operations, and that the visible supply of
pork product on Jan. / last was less than
for years, leads the Herald to believe that
hogs and hog product will 60 higher in
1893. The export demand must be sup
piled, and the 100000 decrease in the
supply cannot be overcome during 1898.
Let the farmers of North Dakota ponder
we'll the subject of raising hogs. Let
them raise more hog fead and less wheat
for few years, and they will havs solved
the great problem of low prices for bread
stuffs. The diversifcation Of crops, and
the practical results derived therefrom,
would be profitable topic Of discussion for
North Dakota farmers during the winter.

North Dakota Siftings: From the time
we opposed the prohibition amendment
in Iowa good many years ago up to the
present We have never changed our belief
that prohibition of the legal variety is not
the thing. The possibilities of hypocrisy
under it and of making the home saloon
and every hay-mow "pig," must be ap-
palling to all but fanatics who reason not.
We hold that it is the shortest possible
route to nation of drunkards, hypocrites
and homes shadowed and shamed by rum,
for all of which there isn't SO much as a
local tax on the traffic! The only restrio-
tive, safe and satisfactory of dealing with
the liquor interest is through system of
heavy taxation and sound regulation, and
The Siftings is satisfied that this is the
majority belief now prevailing IN hte
state-as we'll as el,ewhere-in confirma-
tion of which fact it may be recitcd that
the house of presentatives-which in
both state and nation is conceded to be
the representative branch of popular gov
ernment-passed the resubmission bill by
a majority of seven votes. In the senate
% non-reptesentative body-it was post
poned, but only by bare majority of
four votes, Jud LaMour, who is recog-
nized as grand and lofty tumbler with
out any definite politics, moving to table
it. Then the roar that has been made
about the Minnesota liquor interest-es
pecially the loby from East Grand Forks
and Moorhead--beingo on hand with thous-
ands of dollars to defeat resubmission so
that the Minnesota liquor firms could cou-
tinue to hold the whisky custom of this
state, is significant. Indeed, the interfer-
enee of this powerful and corrupting lob
by is said to be explanatory of the result,
although it failed to capture the popular
branch of the legislature. If pushed the
detective business can only become sys-
tenn of prosicutlons; if not pushed the
traffic will continue to flourish and Mime
sofa will do the business. In either case,
resubmission is only postponed.

facturers who have had a supply on
hand are disposing of their stock with
out much difficulty. The mills which
have been shut down for repairs, or
until the spring trade opened, are one
after another starting up again on full
time and giving employment to large
force of men. In addition to this, the
lumber trade is also reviving, orders
and contracts for large supplies being
matters of every day occurrence, while
the presence of two vessels loading AT
the same time at the big mill, with
another at the Sehome dock, and a
fourth at the coal bunkers, with yet
others on the way, all go to bear out
the prophecy of the HERALD that the
present year would be one of the most
active in local business circles which
the Bay has ever experienced except
during the phenomenal days when
Fairhaven was being built, and which
are some day to be repeated.

Cold Weather Clothing.

The thermometer shows that in most
parts of the country it is the coolest win
ter in some years. What then? Do not
therefore swathe yourself up like a
mummy in layer after layer of heavy
woolens till you weigh a ton. more or
less and the air Las no more chance to
get at your skin than hypocrite has of
getting a look into heaven. Do you not
know that the surest way to take cold in
the head is to wear heavy, unpleasant
fur cap? Or is this the north pole, and
are we Eskimos?
Do give nature little chance to take
care of you. Where her own fine, moth
erly power is untampered with she in a
measure tempers the skin and nerves to
weather changes. There is considerable
power in the human system itself to re-
sist changes and rise to the occasion
when the winds blow and the thermom-
eter falls. Make friends with the wind
and the snow; they will fill you with
fine electric life that will warm and
thrill you through and through. The
surest way to get sore throat and bald
head is to swaddle your neck and head
all up in yards of fur or woolens. Let
the fresh, bracing air harden your throat
to the cold. Let your hair cover your
head and keep it warm, Let your head
covering be as light as possible.
The most monstrous guys of all, how
ever, are those who swathe their heads |
up in woolens at night. The looks of the
thing would keep any one with the es-
thetic sense from allowing himself to
appear such fright even in his sleep. An
average individual in ordinary health |
can harden himself completely against |
drafts, Wear warm clothing, to be sure,
but let it be as light in weight and small |
in quantity as possible, Give the vital |
power within you chance to react |
against the weather.

The county commissioners have APP
pointed Dr. A. w. Thornton to serve al
the Columbian exhibition at Chicago
as special commissioner Of immigration
for Whatcom county, and an effort is
being made TO ascertain what amount
Of money will be contributed by the
property holders of Whatcom county
towards the necessary expenses for
that purpose. This is most important
enterprise and an excellent opportun-
ity for bringing before the thousands
who shall visit Chicago during the
fair reliable information about the
great natural resources of Whatcom
county to which the business men and
property holders Of the county should
respond literally. DIR. Thornton, by
his experience and long residence in
the county, as well as his energy and
ability, is particularly fitted for the po-
sition and as a property holder himself
Is identified with the best interests of
the county. The appointment is with
out salary and can only be made sue
cessful in proportion as the residents of
the county contribute toward defraying
DIR. Thofnton's expenses.

Twill mind my own business strictly
during all of 1898. l will not gable or
gossip about anybody behind his or her
back, and 1 will not say anything about
person that would not say to him. If
/ hear an unpleasant remark made about
anybody in his absence, will not run
straightway and tell him of it because
''think he ought to know it." The feel
ing that prompts me to thus repeat such
remarks is not friendship at all, but only
a desire to spread malicious gossip.
I will not run in debt for anything I'M
less have sure prospect of paying. l
will not ask anybody TO go my security
for loan; no, not even my father-in-law
II work for wages, will give the
best service can to my employer and
give it cheerfully. l will not shirk my
work or slight it, and will not cherish
any feeling of spite or jealousy against
any fellow workmen who gets advance
fnent more rapidly than do. Twill not
try to advance myself at the expense of
anybody else, SO help mel
If employ men to work for me, I will
treat them exactly as think ought to
be treated If they hired me TO work for
them. l will never forget that all man
kind are of one flesh and blood.
Twill not scramble to get the best Of
everybody all the week in business and
then think can get forgiveness for IL by
going to church on Sunday and putting
q dime in the contribution box, or even
hundred dollars. 1t can't be done.
Finally will not tell the same story
over more than ten times during 1893,
not even If it is my dearest chestnut.

The question of dairy farming is
receiving considerable attention Of late
from the different journals of the
sound, and principally from those
whose editors are married men with
families to support, the excessive price
of butter being the cause of the aeita-
ton. There is certainly no good reason
why more attention is not paid to this
important industry than is at present
the case In the Puget sound country
Properly developed, It could not fail to
prove profitable in the highest degree.
and the butter be sold at marked re-.
duction ON the present exorbltant
rates. Puget sound is peculiarl,
adapted for dairy purposes, and only
lacks In the simple essential Of proper
development to render IL an important
center in the manufacture of butter.

Happy Though in Sheol.

st. George Mivart, the naturalist, pro-
fessor of biology in the Roman Catholic
University college at Kensington, Lon
don, has come out in rather startling
paper in The Nineteenth Century. He
maintains it to be the true Catholic doc
trine that souls even in hell are not so
very unhappy; that, on the contrary, the
banished to the regions of the damned
are happier even in their direst suffering
than people on this earth are.
He'll, according to Catholic doctrine,
he tells us, is simply state in which men
are deprived of the beatifc vision. That
vision makes them so full of unspeakable
bliss that to be without it is ever after tor
ture of the keenest. But those who never
had it do not miss it. The moderately
good, respectable people who die I'M
baptized, if they are free from deliberate
mortal sin, will be very happy and con-
tent, even though they are in hell-that
is, shut out from the beatifc vision.
Never having known it, however, they
won't miss it. They will have the things
they most desire.
Even when mortals have been guilty
of deliberate mortal sin there is so
much excuse to be made for them in the
way of heredity, environment, igno-
rance, etc., that we are to believe they,
too, the positively damned" will meet
with souls like themselves and enjoy a
certain harmony ON their own low plane.
At any rate nobody in sheol will ever
be in such torture that he longs to kill
himself to get out of it, as often hap
pens to persons on this earth, and at its
very awfulest sheol will be much pleas
anter place of residence that this worlds.

What DR.. Briggs Was Acquitted Of
An event of great interest in Protes-
tant theological circles is the acquittal
of Rev. DIR, Charles A. Briggs, of New
York, on the charges of heresy, after
full investigation by the New York
presbytery. The charges brought against
him were five. The committee making
the specifications charged that DR.. Briggs
had been guilty of promulgating from
his professors chair in Union Theolog-
ical seminary teachings contrary to
Scripture and the Westminster confess
sion, as follows:
In teaching that the reason and the church
are both fountains Of divine authority apart
from the Scripture.
That the Scripture is not free from all errors,
even in the original documents.
That Moses Is not the author of the Penta-
teuch.
That Isaiah is not the author of the latter
half Of the book which bears his name.
That sanctifcation is not complete at death,
and that processes of redemption may extend
to the world 10 come in the case of many who
die in sin.
Oh VI llcbC
Briggs was acquitted of teaching heresy,
though he does absolutely teach exactly
what is specified. The majorities were
different-larger or smaller-in case of
the different charges. Most of the min
listers put themselves practically on rec
ord as believing that the latter half of the
book of Isaiah was not written by that
prophet. The smallest majority cleared
him of the charge that the Scripture is
not free from all error. Large or small,
however, the New York presbytery has
decided that it is not heresy to teach the
doctrines set forth in the above FIVE
specifications. But the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church has still
to decide finally on the question.

A REASONABLE REQUEST

The electric street car company has
asked to be relieved from the burden Of
municipal taxation for period of five
years, While measures Of this char.
aeter are generally of doubtful policy,
the present request is one which Is
worthy of all consideration, and In
granting il the authorities would re-
ceive the endorsement of the entire
population of the Bay. This company
has gone to great expense in construct
ing the road, and have invested a
larger amount of capital in the interests
of creditable service than they can
realize expenses from in long while.
The argument is made that the road
will be profitable in time, and the
stockholders should be willing to bear
the heavy expense now in view of the
large results to be obtained in the
future. But the argument followed to
its legitimate conclusion shows its own
absurdity. Suppose the builders of the
road had waited until the population
Of the Bay warranted the enterprise,
would not the residents of the Bay
cities have been put to great incOn-
venience and large expense in travelling
from one city to the other? The recent
cessation of the service, owing to the
snow drifts, gave some little indication
Of the convenience and economy to the
travelling public offered by the running
of the cars.
1t has been urged that If the COM
pany be exempt from taxation because
its patronage is not sufficient to pay
expenses, why should not an empty
dwelling be relieved from taxation on
the same ground? The owner of an
empty dwelling has very little expense
on the dwelling outside of his taxes,
while the car company have to main,
tain large pay roll and other running
expenses, The law does not compel
rooms with tenants whether they pay
or not, or otherwise lose the right ia
keep the building standing. Grant
the car company the right to stop their
service until the population of the Bay
warrants operation, and doubtless they
will withdraw their request. But
since they are compelled to keep their
cars running, and since the service,
while loss to the company, is of in
calculable benefit to the two cities of
the Bay, the authorities would GER
tainly be justified in granting the relief
required, If not for the time requested,
at least until the increased travel war
ranted the reimposition of taxes.

The Worlds Congresses.

| II is now certain that the Columbian
exposition will be the greatest worlds
fair that ever was, even industrially.
But one of the unique features-one Of
the noblest as well-will be the series Of
international congresses that will occu-
py the months of the exhibition. These
congresses are designed to present the
intellectual and moral progress of man
in every department Of the world of
ideas. Side by side with the grand dis
play of the things man has made will
run the presentation of the far grander
ideas man has thought.
The congresses will be held under the
auspices Of the Worlds Congress auxil-
larry, an organization formed to take
charge Of them. Hon. Charles c. Bon
ney, Worlds Congress headquarters,
Chicago, is president of the Worlds
Congress auxiliary. They will begin
the middle Of May with the ever popping
up woman question, and will close with
the congress of agriculture, beginning
Oct. is. The meetings will be in the
noble Permanent Memorial Art palace,
In Lake Front park. This fine building
has two audience rooms large enough to
hold 5000 people and more than twenty
smaller rooms for committee meetings.
The industrial exposition will show
what man is doing for himself. The
worlds congresses will show what man
is doing for man. Their influence in
fusing and welding what the old dream
ers named the solidarity of man will be
incalculable. We give below the list Of
the congresses, with time of meeting.
In looking through the list one is
struck with the fact that the subject of
public health is placed about as far
away from that of medicine and surgery
as it can be. Is there any Interior sar-
casm in this, might one ask? The tend
ency to differentiation in every depart
ment of thought and action at the pres
ent day is well illustrated in the fact
that the engineering convention will
have seven sections-those of electrical,
mechanical, civil, mining, metallurgic-
al and military and marine engineer
ing. Before many years there will be
added another department, that of aerial
engineering.
The continent of Africa will occupy a
large place in the deliberations Of the
general department during August. The
congress of African ethnology will meet
during the week beginning Aug. Ia.
Among those meeting the week begin
ming Aug. 81 will be that of psychical
science, though many wise men are still
disputing whether it should be raised to
the dignity of being called science. It
will deal with hypnotism, clairvoyance,
visions, thought transference and other
kinds of spookery.
The congresses will assemble as fol-
lows:
Msy-womans Progress, The Public Press,
Medicine and Surgery.
June-Temperance, Moral and Social Re
form, Commerce and Finance.
July-Music, Literature, Education.
August Engineering, Art, Architecture, etc,
Government, Law Reform, Political Science,
etc., General Department, Science and Philos-
ophy.
september-Labor, Religion, Missions and
Church Societies.
october-sunday Rest Public Health, Agri-
culture.
