Important Decision.

The decision recently rendered
 by the U. $. Court of Private
 Land Claims, at Tucson, Ariz., in the case of Earl B. Coe vs. the U. s. A., was one of the most i'm portant land decisions ever render ed in this country. It involved the title to the Algodones grant of over 60,000 acres of the most pro- ductive land in Southwestern Arizona, worth at the present mar ket value over $12,000,000. Mir. Coe won the suit and his title to the land is now perfect. This is the second trial of the case.
 The land involved lies along the Colorado river from where the Gila river enters into that stream to several miles south of the lower boundary of Arizona, in Sonora, Mexico. The land as a producer of tropical fruits and of vegeta bles is considered the finest in all the southern country, and at the pres ent time fruit is being shipped into California. The lay of the country is such as to admit of irrigation on every foot of it. And when water touches the rich soil, vegetation springs up like magic. There is nothing that it will not produce. Trees that were planted but 8 couple of years ago have grown with marvellous rapidity, and have attained a size all out of proportion to their age
 The town of Yuma, Arizona, and the military reservation lie within the grant, but Mir. Coe and those interested with him in the land have generously given quit-claim deeds to all the land within the limits of the town of Yuma.
 The company owning the grant has also secured about 6,000 acres of land adjoining it, some of which is now under cultivation An immense ditch has been taken out of the Colorado at Yuma, and the whole tract will be under ditch.
 The grant was made in 1888 to Senor Don Fernando Rodriguez by the Mexican government. Several years ago MT. Coe and others be- came interested in the land and have been working continuously to secure a perfect title. The discov- cry of the original papers making the grant, made 1t possible to prove conclusively the title.
 The case was carried to a suc- cessful termination by Judge E. NJ. Sanford, who is interested in the grant, the Hon. A. M. Steven son and the Hon. s. L. Carpenter. From Associated Press Dispatch.

BIG TOWER AT THE FAIR.
One to Be Built with Electric Cars and Q
 Spiral Ascent to the Summit.


 Spiral Ascent to the Summit.
 The Worlds Columbian exposition is to have tower which, in its way, will be as great an attraction as the famous Eiffel tower at the Paris exposition. Ground has already been broken for the structure and considerable progress has been made on the foundation. The tower will be located at the eastern en- trance of the Midway Plaisance, oppo- site the woman's building, and will be five hundred and sixty feet high, with a diameter of two hundred feet. The ascent to the summit of the curious building will be made in cars propelled by electricity, to be run on a track which winds about the tower eight times in making the entire ascent. The passengers will obtain eight different pictures of the exposition grounds and buildings from varying heights, which will afford the best points of view on the grounds. The grade is calculated at eight per cent. to the mile, and aside from the novelty of a trip into the clouds the sensation of returning thence to earth will be as thrilling as ones first ride down toboggan slide.
 On the top of the tower is an observa- tory, where the visitor can overlook the magnificent white city. A brass band and stringed orchestra will be sta tioned on the observatory floor to furnish aerial music for the enter tainment of the crowds ascending and descending. On the ground floor one of the finest restaurants at the exposi- tion will be established, and all the eel ebrated wine houses in the world will have booths there to display their choicest vintages. Music will also be provided in the restaurant. In the even ing Japanese lanterns, Illuminated by incandescent lights, will be strung all along the track from base to sum- init, and the sight of the great building ablaze with lights will doubtless be one of the most interesting at the fair. The foundation of the structure will be of stone and of the strongest character, as the weight to be borne will be tre- mendous. The tower is to be con- structed of iron and steel, which will be painted light color to make it attract i've and at the same time in harmony with the surrounding buildings.

What Others Say.

The Courier believes the land tributary to Yuma, Arizona, within reach of the waters of the Colorado, is valuable property, affording splendid opportunity for safe and remunerative investment. For citrus fruits the climate is unsur- passed; the soil is very fertile and the water supply is there when needed-The Colorado river flow ing more water during the hot months than at an other season, drawing it's surplus from the high mountain ranges at it's northern source. There is no uncertainty about that section; the conditions of success are overlastinsly there and only neola a little manipulation to demonstr te the fact in anltn- ner which wili startle the natives themselves.-Prescott Courier.

WHEAT PRICES.

The advance in the price of wheat
is most welcome to the farmers.
The bears may succeed for a time
in preventing further advance and
may even hammer the market down,
but, as the financial scare is over,
the general tendency of the grain
market from now on is almost GER
tain to be upward. Our wheat crop
this year is not much in excess of
cur annual home consumption, and,
as there is a shortage in other wheat
growing countries, there will be a
demand for our surplus. Europe
will take all the wheat we can spare.
For some of it she will have to pay
considerable more than the present
market prices.

BRIEF HISTORY OF SILVER LAW

Since the pening of the present
session of Congress repeated re-
quests have been received for an
explanation Of the Mint act of 1878.
The following facts regarding the
question have been carefully gather
ed and should enable our readers to
thoroughly understand the question
that is Of such interest just now.
That part of the Mint act of 1878
which refers to silver coinage is as
follows:
Sec, Is. That the silver coins of the
United States shall be trade dollar,
a half dollar, or 50-cent piece, quarter
dollar, or 25-cent piece, a dime, or TO-
cent piece, and the weight Of the trade
dollar shall be 420 grains Troy; the
weight of the half dollar shall be IL
grams and one half of a gram; the
quarter dollar and the dime shall be
representatively one-half and one-fifth
of the weight of said half dollar; and
said coins shall be legal tender at
their nominal value for any amount
not exceeding SIS in any one payment.
Section IA makes the gold dollar
F'the unit of value," and makes the
several gold CONS full legal tender.
Section l6 provides for minor nickel
and copper coins. Section II pro-
vides t'That no coins, either of gold
silver or minor coinage, shall here
after be issued from the mint other
than those of the denominations,
standards, and weights herein set
forth"
Sec. 35oe, Revised Statutes, act
of 1874, above referred to, provides
that s'The silver coins of the United
States shall be legal tender at
their nominal value at for any
amount not exceeding IS in any one
payment
The act of 1876 deprived the
trade dollar of it's legal tender
quality and limited its coinage to
meet the demand for export pur-
poses.
But the act of 1878 reinstated
the standard silver dollar of 4l4
grains, the dollar of Washington and

MEIeS AND MERCHANTS.

Something could be learned Of
the future power Of the agricultural
section in legislation if it were
known how many people take stock
in the preposterous idea that there
is conflict between the mercantile
and farming classes. We venture
the assertion that there are but few.
If even strong minority of either
farmers or merchants are cultivating
that chimera, we would abandon
the hope Of consolidating the pro-
ducing States upon policy of
action.
Antagonism between men who
raise corn and men who feed stock
would be as reasonable as between
those two classes and the merchants
with whom they deal in their locali-
ties and States. The interests of
merchants and farmers in legislation
are in almost every possible respect
Identical.
The fundamental interest of both
is that government should let inven-
tion and industry increase wealth as
fast as possible. Farmers and mer-
chants are alike in needing nothing
from the government except the
preservations of law, order and equal
rights. They are alike in getting
the worst of every phrase Of inter-
ference with business and industry.
The money question effects the
merchant of a county seat exactly as
it effects the farmer who trades
with him. The tariff touches them
in the same way. Ifthey are divid-
ed in action by suspicion of antago-
nism the more closely organized
special classes will beat them in
law-making light along.
If there are politicians who cog,
itate upon the feasibility of riding
into power and Office by posing as
the champions of farmers against
merchants, or of merchants against
farmers, they are at once brewing
defeat for their sections and ultimate
rebuke for themselves. They may
be something ont of temporary
alteration, but ordinary perceptions
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1893-09-21

will soon assert itself against them.
They will go out like the lurid and
useless flame of Four tn of July red
light.
When Americans have a common
purpose their instinct is organization.
No leader who has not the states
manlike quality Of strengthening
organization need apply. All who
try to get up disorganizing factions
only that they may have factions to
swing in conventions, will be turned
down. The farmers and merchants
will oppose their united strength
against the promoters Of unwhole-
some laws. They will not divide
and waste strength in fighting each
other.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1893-09-21

Jefferson, and likewise the dollar
of Harrison and Cieveland--made
it full legal tender at their nominal
value, for all debts and dues, public
and private and provided for the
the purchase and coinage of from
S5,0OO,OOO to S4,OOO,OOO of silver a
month.
The act of 1890; called the Sher-
man act, continued the s:dolla: of
our fathers as full legal tender and
increased the monthly purchase Of
silver to 100000 ounces.
The above constitutes brief
legal history Of the silver dollar
during the past 20 years. The
reason why the standard silver
dollar was dropped from coinage in
1878 was that it had not been in
circulation for about a quarter of a
century and was dead letter. The
entire Pacific coast and Rocky
Mountain delegation supported the
act The trade dollar was substitute
ed at the request of thePacific coast
congressman, whose section wanted
the heavier trade dollar because it
better suited the demand for export.
The failure of the trade dollar to
circulate caused the repeal of it's
legal tender quality in 1876. Finally
the act of 1878 reinstated the stan
1..rd silver dollar Of the constitution
and we have it still.
From 1892 to 1878 holders on
silver bullion were given the privi-
lcyc of free and unlimited coinage.
But as there was little silver pro-
duction and less demand for silver
dollars IN the country during that
period, the whole amount Of silver
dollars coined during the 81 years,
from 1892 to 1873 was only a few
more than 100000. Since 1878,
there has been coined under the
Bland and Sherman act over 49,
100000 standard silver dollar.
The reason why free and unlimited
silver coinage was not reinstated
with the standard silver dollar in
1878, was because Of the largely in
creasing silver production and the
consequent fall in price.

ABLACkENED PAGE.

A few days ago the assertion was
ventured that Senator Wolcott of
Colorado, who had threatened the
protectionists with the vengeance
of the silver state senator of the
Sherman law is repealed, could tell
a great deal about how that law
came to be passed by the vote Of
republican protectionists,
A day or two after this prediction
was made, comes the well-authcuti-
Gated story from Washington that
the protection republicans in the
Senate were drawn to the support
of the bullion purchase bill by the
threats of the silver state Senators
to defeat the Mckinley bill.
The history Of the republican
congress of 1890 has never been
written. The utter abandonment
Of principle which marked the legis-
lation of that session marks one of
the darkest periods in our natural
life. Proofs of guilt are accum ula-
ting fast, but no other proof is need
ed than the fact that Sherman and
Reed, the two men most largely
responsible for the crimes of that
day, are now active in the work of
repeating the legislation which
they forced upon their party along
with the highest tariff ever construct
ed. Their present action is both
confession and repentance. But
repentance is unavailing. Jude re-
pented, but is none the less damned.

The prairies of the great prairie
state are putting on a soft sheen
Of yellow. Yellow flowers and
grass and the occasional saffron
LEAKAGE Of a tree, tell that harvest
time has come and gone, and the
busy harvester is at his harvest
work, saving that which he hath.
Birds and insects are coming to-
gether in focks and swarms. The
season Of feeding, Of capricious
flight, Of sociability with them is
at hand. The water fowl are to be
seen hanging in the distant air,
like lazy Whit Of black smoke
Soon the rush of their countless
throngs over the reedy pond, in low
and eager flight can be heard con-
stantly at dawn and dusk. The
silent preparations of nature for
sustenance and comfort of her
many kinds of dependent creatures
are going on. The right to enjoy
life, to a share Of the harvest, to
the reward for work, and for
patient endeavor is born equally
with all. In the North Dakota
farm house the right to these
things is the same as in the palace
Of the multi-millionaire. The
North Dakota farmer, sowing
much and reaping little this year,
should not deprive himself or per-
NIT his family to be deprived of
the right Of enjoying at least the
necessities and some of the COM
forts Of life in his prairie home.

And now the great Standard oil
trust is to wind up and go out OF
business. Trusts are unpopular
in this country and must go. The
standard oil trust is the most gigan-
tic in the country and while it has
been denounced on general princi-
Piles it is claimed by those bold
enough to express their opinions
that the trust has resulted in les
sening the cost Of coal oil to con-
sumers and that through the
means Of the trust the company
has been able to develop all its
properties and furnish the product
at minimum cost to consumers.
It is freely predicted that the dis
solution of the trust will not re-
duce the price to the consumers.
