PRESIDENT HARRISON AND GRANDSON.
surance that Tullia still lived is a scene
that touches the universal heart in 1899
as powerfully as in the Augustan age.
Mr.. Cleveland and General Harrison are
to most Americans but as political alb
stractions, but Baby Ruth and Baby Nc
Kee are known and loved in many do
nestle circle where the questions of pro-
lection and revenue tariff are scarcely
better understood than the Huttonian
theory or the precision Of the equinoxes.
1t is perhaps a delicate matter to
touch upon, but surely every American
must feel certain sort of pride that in
the very climax Of the heat and fury Of
the late political campaign there was
universal pause and expression of pro-
found sympathy when the beloved lady
of the White House obeyed the last
dread summons. In Great Britain il
was and is the same. The domestic joys
and sorrows Of Mr.. Gladstone touch
the popular heart, and it is fact well
worth noting that Mr.. Gladstone and
President Harrison have during all their
political life found their rest and recrea-
ton in the domestic circle. 1t is char
acteristic Of our greatest men in both
nations.
Mr.. Gladstone has met with many a
bad knockdown, but when the first smart
was over he went home to Hawarden,
chopped down few trees, romped with
his grandchildren and emerged in few
days serene and refreshed. Benjamin
Harrison, despite his great ancestry, had
rather hard struggle in early life, but
from the very day when the cultured
and popular Miss Scott, the pride Of Ok
ford (O.) schools, gave him her hand and
heart domestic life has been his real
life, and since his grandchild came to
cheer his hours Of WEAKNESS no other in
terest has given him 50 much abiding
joy.
Details like these are not trivial. They
only illustrate that trait which makes
Great Britain and America the leading
nations Of the earth-domestic life, do
mestic love! The people Of the British

Catholic and every province has it, local
grievances the task is no small one.
Sir John Thompson is a native OF
Nova Scotia and made his first step in
public life in 1877, when he entered the
legislature Of his province. He became
attorney general in the following year,
and in 1882 became judge Of the su-
preme court, bat three years later he
resigned to accept the ministry Of justice
in the Dominion cabinet On the death
Of Sir John Macdonald he was spoken Of
for the premiership, but was passed by
largely on account Of the opposition
evinced by the Orangemen on account Of
his religion, as ne was born and raised a
Protestant, but became Catholic.
He took the leadership Of the house Of
commons and had as much power in the
government as the premier. Since Pre-
mier Abbotts appointment Sir John has

The customs receipts of Peru for 1891,
officially reported at $5,7S5,942, show
decrease as compared with those Of the
previous year, but the total revenue OF
the republic exhibits comparative in
crease. The revenues derived from all
sources amounted to s. ,s0e, 042, against
an expenditure of IS, l79,9sl, which left
a surplus Of $42s,O61. The Peruvian
legislature has under consideration a
bin for reforming the customs which,
If passed, will put an end to government
warehouses and substitute private ware
houses instead. 1t is also proposed to
introduce the warrant system into Peru.

is enveloped in an all.pervading astral
ether, upon which the thoughts and as
%pirations OF men are impressed as on a
sensitive plate, to be thence transferred
to the minds of others, the Grand Forks
Herald opines that: "This astral light
is particularly brilliant in this section of
country and North Dakotans should be
exceedingly careful and get the best pos.
sible impressions from the overhauging
enveloping plate" The idea suggests
itself that herein lies, perhaps, the en-
PLANTATION of many things connected with
this session which have hitherto seemed
lnexplicable. If the theory be correct,
it would appear that in the vicinity of
the capital, this sensitive plate appa-
ratus is either too sensitive, or not
enough SO. That is,it only seems to reflect
two ideas. there being no evidence that
any others are being preserved. The few
who originated for themselves the idea
of being a senatorial candidate (if they
were few have had the thought 80

EXPANDED, like the widows cruise of oil,
until it is plain that nothing less potent
than the astral ether can be held respon-
sible for it. If the legislature should
happen to have any leisure before ad.
journment, it is a question whether it
might not be proftably devoted to a
thorough investigation of this matter.
Results might be attained, compared to
which the election of United States

niticance.

THERE are not wanting indications
that the ending of the senatorial con.
test-if it v e ends-will not create a
total dearth of interesting occurrences
at the capital. Yesterdays occurrences
in the house in connection with the

point a moral which is easy to discern.
1t Is that whatever may be the dis.
position of other officers of the state

will not submit to interference with it's
functions on the part of any official con

recognized political principle upon which
the house insisted, that of the entire di.

CHATTEL MORTGAGE SALE REDEMP.
TON.

Mr.. McCanna's bill, giving five days
for redemption on chattel mortgage
sales, had a narrow escape yesterday.
Though a farmers bill and in their in
terest, the farmers to a considerable
number voted against it. Some, not
farmers, who voted no changed to aye in
order to saw it. Under the present law
there is no redemption on chattel mort
gage sales, and usually the mortgages
contain a provision under which they
may be foreclosed at any time the
mortgage deems himself insecure. In
that part of the state where Mr.. Nc
Gamma resides they have been cursed by
cut-throat money loaners who demand
. per cent. per month interest for their
money. So long as the interest is paid
promptly they regard themselves en-
tirely secure, but if the crop fails
they demand more security, and often
seize the property mortgaged, deeming
themselves insecure, u up an enor-
nous bill of expenses, bid the property
in for less than a qnarter of what it is
worth, and for a small part of the debt
and take judgment for the balance. A
man near Devils Lake bought a wagon
for $50. He gave a mortgage on the
wagon purchased and on his team. The
next spring he renewed and gave a
mortgage on his growing crop. Immedi-
ately after threshing, before the mort
gage was due, the shylock deemed HIM.
self insecure, took possession of the
property, run up $40 expenses, bid in
the horses for s25, the wagon for $50,
100 bushels of wheat for S25 and took
judgment for S35. The wheat would
have paid the debt if the farmer could
have had five days for redemption. A
widows COW, worth $40, was mortgaged
for $40 and bid in for the mortgage and
costs. Five days redemption would have
saved it for her. One man gave a mort
gage when he purchased a team, adding
three other animals. He had two crop
failures; renewed twice, adding addi-
tional security; paid in interest more
than the original debt; lost the five head
of horses originally mortgaged and
seventeen head of cattle, on which he
had given a second mortgage as addi-
tional security. If redemption is al
lowed the property will be bid in for the
full amount of the debt; the shylocks
will not take the pound of flesh but will
be content with principal and interest.

majority. It is possible that
the old rule rs to majorities has
been reversed in these new states, and
that the interests of the men chosen to
represent the interests of the majority
may betray those interests, and that the
people will applaud, but it is doubtful if
that is true.

The verdict Of the people is likely to
e that they are a demoralized lot who
deserve to be licked. And all because
the men elected to the legislature have
forgotten that they represent a constitu-
ency of republicans, and are governed
by their likes and dislikes rather than by
principle. Not so much by their dislike
of the candidates as their dislike of those
who are working, faithfully working
to bring republican success out of the

Senator Haggart bears the reputation
of being among the first to come to the
front in support Of the cause he
champions, and the last to leave, and
bearing SUCH a reputation he is a tower
of strength to any man whom he sup
ports, but in all of his political career
he has never won warmer words of com
mendation and on every hand than for
his manly course toward Henry Il.
Miller. His grievance was real but it
did not stand in the way of his repub-
licanism, o does it lead him to
slaughter a citizen of his county, who
through his support may attain to
the highest position within the gift of
his state. The time has come when
local and personal %jealousies should be
put aside and men should act upon
broader principles. There are said
to be six individual republicans
who have announced their determine

his vote will elect him. The election of
MIR. Benton was defeated because two
populists were waiting each to make his
vote the deciding ballot. With thirteen
republican majority six men ought not
to be able to keep up the deadlock in
the hope that personal advantage may
come to them. Cass county is in posi-

ANTI.SCALPERs.

The bill recently introduced in the
North Dakota senate by Mr.. McGilli-
vray, forbidding the sale of railroad and
steamboat tickets by other than licen.
sed agents ofthe companies, and regulat-
ing the entire subject of passenger
transportation in the state, is practi-
cally the same measure as that now be-
fore the Minnesota legislature.
The main features of McGillivray's
bill are as follows:
1t forbids the sale or transfer within
the state Of any form of contract for
transportation by rail or water, by any
person not an authorized agent of the
transporting company, duly licensed,
with heavy penalties for violation.
1t requires railroad and steamboat
companies operating within the state to
provide for the redemption Of the whole
or unused portions or coupons of tickets,
except such are limited as to time and
have expired, and except, also, mileage,
Communication and excursion tickets sold
at a reduced rate.
And the final important provision for
bids a common carrier or licensed agent
to sell or transfer to any person, firm or
corporation transportation of any class
for any different price from that charged
or received from others for transporta-
tion of the same class.
AS is evident, the purpose and effect
of the proposed law is to overthrow the
system of ticket scalping with it's at
tendant evils, and it has already in
Minnesota aroused determined opposi.
ton on the part of the national associa.
ton of ticket brokers, which is an
organization of considerable power and
aggressiveness. In doing away with
scalping and scalpers it would
effect, without detriment to the
interests of the travelling public, a
result which could be at any time &C.
complished by the companies, but not
without sacrifice either to the public or
to themselves-which means, OF course.
that the former would be the party suf-
fering.
Aside from the really fraudulent nature
of nearly all if rot all transactions by or
with ticket scalpers, it is doubtful
whether, on the whole, anything is gained
by those who patronize them and risk
the loss of both their money and trans.
portation, in preference to dealing di.
rectly with the companies for an assured
passage at a somewhat higher expense.
One cannot always travel on low-priced
scalpers' tickets, and comparatively
few can profit by them, but
by reason of them the aggregate loss to
the companies must be such as to COM
pei them, in order to make it good, to in
crease the prices of regular tickets of

Two YEARS from O the members of
the legislature, from the southeastern
portion of the state can come direct to the
capital city via the $500" line, and resi-
dents OF that portion of the state will
have the benefit Of low coal rates and
cheap fuel. The $500" will open up and
develop a large tract of country now too
remote from market to make farming
profitable. The completion of the capt.
tol building will restore confidence and
eastern capital, heretofore timid
about investing in the western part of
the state will flow into this region and de-
velope it's great resources Asypdicate of
capitalists stand ready to build a model
and spacious hotel on a site selected for
the purpose a long time since-a site
nearly half way to the capitol. The
same company will put in an electric
plant and street railway and make other
permanent and needed improvements,
none of which Bismarck could
get as long as the capital ghost hung
over us. The eastern part of the state
is now very generally settled and devel.
oped, and the next ten years will see the
greatest improvements in the western
portion. Millions of taxable property
will be added to the rolls and thus lower
the average of the ta%xburdens of the
people. The last of the public domain
lies in the Bismarck and Minot land dis.
tricts, and immigration must necessarily
come in this direction during the next
decade. The extreme western portion
of the state is the best range country for
stock in the world, and the final organ
lzatlon of all the area into organized
counties will add thousands to the reye.

and Bismarck will, in a few years. be

terprises that will challenge the admira-

signs point to the dawn of a prosperous
era for the Missouri slope and west Mis-.
