The signs of business improvement

five Of the largest iron mines on the
Lake Superior ranges have resumed
operations, or given notice Of intention
so to do, since the repeal of the silver
purchase law. In the case of one-the
Norrie-the management attributes the
resumption directly to the consumma-
ton of that Legislation. These mines
are the Minnesota, on the Vermillion,

SENATOR ALLEN, of Nebraska, saws
the st. Paul Globe, expects that the lines
will be drawn in the next congressional
election on the silver question, and that
as a result there will be a majority of
free silver men in the next congress.
Mr.. Allen is evidently possessed Of faith
that is capable of removing mountains.
There are no indications Visible to the
eyes OF the rest of mankind that the IN.
ture contains any such prospect. There
will be no more silver legislation IN con.
gress for a decade, at least. The issue
is already dead beyond hope of resur-
r~ecfinn.

Every reader OF the Bismarck Weekly
TRIBUNE should have the session laws Of
North Dakota. In many instances liti-
cation and trouble would be averted by
a familiarity with the provisions OF the
laws ne are expected to obey. The ele-
vator laws, the game laws, the prairie
fire and estray laws, chattel mortgage
and usury laws should be studied by all.
The TRIBUNE will give a copy of the
1881 and a copy OF the 1898 session laws
70 every weekly reader who pays all ar.
-earages and one year in advance for the
Weekly TRIBUNE. We have only a few
hundred left, aud propose to give them
away in this manner. Address,

IN view of the democracy OF Louisiana
it is not likely the democratic congress
will advocate the repeal of the sugar
bounty. In 1s9l-'92 the treasury paid
bounty on 35s,00C,0OO pounds of sugar.
Last year on 429,243,l7O and this year
the figures will be increased to ome
thing over G9O,OOO.C GOO pounds. Louisi-
anians believe if the bounty is not re-
pealed before the stipulated time, fifteen
years, they will raise all the sugar the
country needs.

waited until their tool. Minister Willis,
had sailed from American shores with
his Instructions OF dlshonor. They with
held all knowledge Of their plan from
the public and the press until las, Tues
days vote had been recorded. Then. in
the assurance that no important cleo
tons would be held IN at least a year,
they published the scheme which insults
every genuine American and atronts
every principle and precedent Of Ameri.
can craftsmanship.
The popular rebuke will be prompt and
overwhelming. There are some issues
that are not partisan. The maintenance
OF American rights in Hawaii is one OF
them. The niserably faint notes OF ap-
proval from s few Mugwump and un-
American organs only eerve to en-
phasize the tremendous public condem-
nation OF the administrators course.
That an American president and secre-
tary OF state should deliberately at
tempt to overthrow a representative form
OF government and set up a despotism
in a neighboring state seems incredible.
Yet It is fact. The Cleveland. Gresham
scheme involves the destruction Of the
provisional government, which represents
the Intelligent, progressive and orderly
elements OF the Hawaiian people. 1t in
wolves the shameful betrayal OF the
nights OF the men of American birth and
American descent who have given the
Hawaiian Islands all the civilization and
prosperity they possess. 1t compre lends
the elevation of the forces Of anarchy, Of
h%eathenism, of foul superstition and cor.
ruption over the forces OF enlightenment,
decency and progress. It constitutes a
virtual invitation to Great Britain TO
interfere. since it Is absolutely certain
tina the mock Hawaiian throne cannot
stand alone, and during the conflicts
sure to ensue foreign interests in Hawaii
must suffer unless they are guarded by
force.
American stateecraft contains no chap
ter so disgraceful as that written by
Cleveland and Gresham. The nation,
esolute in m aintaining the honor OF its
flag, hating the decaying sham of roy
atty, sympathizing cordially with the
brave men who have civilized Hawaii
and Who ask for annexation to the
United States, will not rest until this in.
famous record is blotted out by the dis
comhture of the Cleveland conspirators
against Americanlsm and the final union
OF HAWAII with the American republic.

Herald on the day before election, that
Governor Mckinley will be reelected.
The question is as to the majority. II
he shall receive no more than twenty
Thousand it will mean no victory, either
for the individual or for the party whose
cardinal principles the governor repre-.
sents. On the contrary, il Governor
Mckinley should receive thirty.five or
forty thousand majority it would be
taken to mean an endorsement OF the
principle OF protection and for the in.

forth prominently for the republican

The TRIBUNE attempted to say last
week that the old committee appointed
by Governor Burke to revise and codify
the laws, would likely win It's suit
against the state for S1,15O, due the
members under the law under which
they were appointed. Judge Temple
toms court 70 decides. The laet lepisla-
ture, it will be remembered. passed q
bill creating a Few codification commits
sion, and the report of the old commits
sion never was considered by that body,
but q new commission was appointed
under the new law. The suit was for
money alleged to be due under the pro.
visions of the law Of 1891, which pro.
vided that the members Of the commit
tee should receive $500 for their ser.
vices. The new commission gets 49,.
600 for the finishing Of the work begun
by the old commission-s5,OOO each for
services and $4,000 for clerk hire. This
was one OF the most needless expendi.
lures authorized by the last legislature.
1t is quite necessary that the laws be
cod'hed, and Governor ShortridRe ap-
pointed an able board Of codifers. but
the fact remains, however, that the ex-
penditure OF this sum in addition to that
already paid to the old board, was use-
less and unnecessary. The old commit.
zee q the co%ditcation complete up to
the date of the last legislature. All that
was required to finish the work was
the incorporation of the laws Of the
last session, report to the legislature
OF 1896, and. after the incorporation
OF the acts Of that body, have the
laws printed. The sum of $4,000 for
this work was altogether too much
for the services required to complete the
task undertaken and nearly completed
by the former commission. The excuse

THE NATION D1sGRACED.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and his mug
wunp secretary Of state, Walter @.
Gresham, now favor the restoration Of
the monarchlcal government in Hawaii.
When President Harrison's administra-
ton recognized the justice of the over
throw Of the Hawaiian monarchy, and
aided in establishing a provisional gov
eminent, looking to a permanent repub-
lie or United States dependent as the iu-
telligence of the people Of Hawaii might
determine, it took a step in the right d.
rectlon-a step in favor of good govern
ment and enlightened civilization. It
wa 90 recognized by the representatives
OF all foreign governments, then on the
islands, and the justice of it was ever
declared by Gladstone in the halls of the
English parliament, Notwithstanding the
close alliance of the deposed queen with
England. President Cleveland would
now restore the ex-queen to the throne
her w~antoness, immortality and ignor.
ance d%isgraced. He would step back
ward just because a wise republican ad-
ministration took a step forward-a
move in aid Of higher civilization and
purer government. The present govern
ment in Hawaii is undeniably an incom-
parable improvement on anything ever
experienced under Queen Lil's, or any
other PERSONS reign, and for this govern
ment to step IN now and restore the dis
reputable colored wanton to the throne
in a country largely owned by Americans
is simply scandalous and inexcusable.
The New York Press xe7iews the stu
alton, and declares that every American
who believes in the immortal principles
OF the Declaration OF Independence,
every American who helds that the
tyranny of a monarch is treason against
the inalienable sovereignty of the people,
every American by whom the starry
symbol Of the republic is held IN rever-
ence and honor, and to whom the dig
hity and authority of the republic are
sacred, will regard the outrageous pur-
pose of the Cleveland administration to
restore the Hawaiian monarchy with in
tense indignation and profound shame.
Grover Cleveland and the republican
renegade whom he has rewarded for
party treachery with a seat in his cabi-
net, have gone about their infamous
task in a manner which shows their ap.
probation of the fact that IT must arouse
the condemnation of the American peo-
pie. GrAsham's report, with it's tissue
Ut malignant Misrepresentation, its
gratuitous SANDER Of faithful American
officials, and lite proposal to put the un-
speakably degraded and dissolute Lii
nokalani back on the throne, was dated
October, 10. But the White House con.
splrators against popular government
carefully suppressed this precious docu.
ment until the elections had been held.
They did not dare to come out into
the daylight with their scheme. They
were too cowardly to allow the Ameri-
can people to vote on the t%ranscendent
issue of striking down Americanism and
~revivinR royalty in the Islands over

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF NORTH DAKOTA
PROHIkITIOS LAW.

The publication by the = Fargo
Forum OF the report OF Druggist Chris
tlanson for the month Of October, as re-
quired under the prohibition law. is
another illustration of the Ridiculous
ness OF the North Dakota ukase. The
400 aftidavits show that lntoxicants,
brandy, whiskey and alcohol-prlncipally
whlskey-were purchased, and, of course,
used, for nearly every kind Of ailment
that flesh is heir to. However, plain,
ordinary, every day "cold" seems to
have been the prevailing distemper in
Fargo, in October, although "fever'' and
"diarrhea' were quite frequent. Heart
trouble" and rheumatism" needed q
little stimulant occasionally, and a few
cases of cramps are noticed. The
Forum publishes the complete list
giving name of purchaser and "for
why" the intoxicant was secured. The
list discloses the fact that frequently one
man would make three afidivits IN one
day for as many different complaints.
One name, that of J. T. Morgan, occurs
on an average of once each day. He
seems to have been cursed with all sorts
OF ailments. AS illustrating how "the
thing works" in a "prohibition state" it
is interesting to follow this man
Morgan during the month OF October.

county court, as provided by law, shows
that on Monday, October %, j. T..
