SENAroR-ELEcT Roach, before his de-
p%arture, expressed himself very strongly
in appreciation of the support given him
by the independents. Much had been
said about the thorough disruption of
the democratic and independent forces,
that even Bsnton's shrewdness would
not avail to bring them all in line again
for any democratic candidate. Senator
Stevens continual slogan ulr!"-
seemed q decided evidence that this was
a corroect prsphesy. But, as the sequel
showed, even the populist chieftan's
most faithful adherent had pledged him.

others not populists. Mr.. Roach has
much to thank them for, and his appre.
oiatlve recognition Of the importance of
the service rendered is we'll deserved.

HERE are many important bills pend
ing in the Legislature which ought to be
passed. Much that is important will
fail-win surely fail-unless some prac-
teal means is adopted for pushing the
important bills, giving them the right

tracking the unimportant. It is sup-
gested that a joint steering committee
be appointed by the members of each
party-say six in each house, being two
from each party-with a view to weed.
ing out, and pushing the bills that ought
to pass. There are no partisan measures.
Every bill is for the public good, or it is
not. Debate ought to be limited to five
minutes and no member ought to be
allowed to speak twice on the same bill
except by unanimous consent. With or
g%anization much that is important can
be saved.

A DISPATCH from Washington says
that Senator Casey was rendered an ex-
tremely cordial reception upon his first
appearance in the senate since the n
torial contest began in North Dakota.
He arrived in Washington Saturday
night and upon entering the senate
chamber every man present on the re-.
publican side left his seat to grasp his
hand and extend sympathy because of
his defeat. Senator Casey had very
little to say regarding the outcome of
the fight, but many of his colleagues OK.
pressed opinions that would not look
very we'll in print. "Itis a id out
rage" said many a dignifed and promi.
nent republican senator as he grasped
Casey's hand. MI. Casey in reply only
said that he done his full duty to him
self and his party.

The coal rates under Mr.. Johnson's
bill. which has passed the house are as
follows: For any distance over SO miles
and lese than 100 miles, 80 cents; for
100 miles and less than $50 miles,
81; for over $50 and less than 200 miles,
s1.35; for over 200 miles and less than
25O, $3.50; for over 25O and less than
800. $l.S5; for over 300 and less than
$50, 1925; for over $50 and less than 400,
1925, provided the intermediate rates
over SO miles shall not exceed IL cents
per ton per mile. The bill also passed
the house requiring the use Of Dakota
coal in all public buildings, including
county and school buildings, except
where other fuel is cheaper. The rates
named are understood to be the present
Northern Pacific rates, but are a very
great reduction on Great Northern rates.

BEFORE its passage, Friday, the
banking bill Of Senator Cashel was
amended, at the suggestion of Mr. Greg.
DRY, so as to place the power of appoint
ing a receiver in the hands of the dis.
trict court, where alone it belongs, in.
stead of the public examiner, as pro.
posed. The two senators are very we'll
fitted by their attainments in their re-.
spective professions, the one to pass
upon the practical utility of such a
measure, the other upon it's value from a
legal standpoint. AS passed, the bill
puts the law relative to state banks in
excellent shape, furnishing valuable
safeguards about a system which is
already regarded with admiration in
much older communities.

A PRESS dispatch from Helena shows
that the anti .scalpers bill, similar to that
now before our legislature, passed both
houses of the Montana legislature-the
senate with but two dissenting votes.
This bill is desired by the Conductors
association. 1t is just and right and can
do no harm to any one excepting those
engaged in a pernicious if not illegal
and immoral traffic. The bill protects
the railroads, it is true, from forged and
stolen tickets and tickets sold in VIOLA
ton OF contracts, but it also protects the
conductors from imposition and loss.
The bill originated with them and thew

der and rob them. It provides for the
redemption of unused tickets and leaves

FULLY two hours of the session of the
house was wasted Friday by members
seeking to take up bills out of their ECU
lar order. Every bill would have been
passed just the same and at least a
dozen more if the chief clerk had been
allowed to bring up the bills in their
regular order. Whenever q bill is
sought to be brought up now out of it's
regular order every member who calls to
see his bills get through ought to set
down on it. To seek to bring up a bill
out of it's regular order aught to be
enough to defeat q bill unless it be
something that a be brought up by
unanimous consent, and bills of that
kind are more than likely to be in their
places without crowding.

disappointed, they lay aside political
feelings when it nj to greeting the

In the opinion of the TRIBUNE
Senator Worst was sound in his argu-
ment in favor Of abolishing the death
penalty. Man has no right to take that
which he cannot replace or produce
human life. That is, he has no right to
take a human life under the guise of
justice or law. A criminal can be
banished from society for life; he can be
placed in solitary confinement and re-.
main forever "dead to the world" but
the taking by man, of the God.given
spark OF life, is crime, whether taken
judicially or otherwise.

II INFORMATION AS TO MARKETS.

SNS
Mr.. Hagen's bill for obtaining intor-
mati5n in relation to the prices of wheat
at the leading wheat markets of the
world and the expenses incident to reach.
ing that market, appropriates $1,000.
The bill passed the house. The follow.
ing is the substance of the bill; appro-
pirates $1,000:
The board of railroad commissioners are
required to obtain from Liverpool by cable
message the price of No. l hard wheat,
known as Duluth wheat, in Liverpool, on
Monday, Wednesday snd Friday of each
week during the months of September. Oc-
tober. November and December, and on
Tuesday and Friday of each week during
the months of January. February. March.
April, May and June, and on Friday of
each week during July and August. Also
the ocean freight rate, insurance and other
YocH 20 Liverpool. Also the through
freight rate and other charges per bushel
from Duluth or West Superior to New
York. n costs and charges to market q
cargo Of wheat al Liverpool, and the mar
ket price of No. l hard wheat in Duluth or
West Superior on like days.
When the board of railroad commission
ers have procured this information. said
board of railroad commissioners shall COM
pu e the value of No. l hard wheat in Du-
luth or West Superior, on an export basis,
viz: The Liverpool market price; and said
board of railroad commissioners are re-
quired to furnish by telegram to the county
auditor of each county in the state the
price of No. hard wheat per bushel in
Duluth or West Superior, based on the
value of that grade Of wheat in Liverpool,
and each county auditor is required, on
receipt OF this information, to post said
price on a bulletin board, which shall be
provided by the board of county commits.
sioners Of each county in the state and
which shall be placed for public inspection
in the p0stoffice of each county seat.

should not be obliged to wait two years

will not vote against this resubmission
resolution.

SOME time since a joint committee
was appointed in the assembly, to con.
slider all amendments offered for the i'm
provement of the election law. Ma
jority and minority reports were made,
and we're considered in the senate on
Friday, its last session of the past week.
The main difference in the amendments
recommended, is as to the arrangement
of the names of party candidates on the
ballot. Mr.. Kinter, for the minority,
recommended the placing of each party
ticket as a whole, in a column by itself;
while Mr.. Ink for the majority, pro-
posed to leave the arrangement of names
as at present. The reports agreed in
other points of detail, as, the qualifca-
ton of inspectors and judges of election,
etc. 1t is not plain what advantage is
to be gained by the arrangement pro-
posed by the minority. To some. it will
appear to facilitate the voting of the
straight or party ticket, although it will
not, really, render it easier to do 10 than
before; and if it did, the fact would not
be exactly in line with the supposed
merits Of an election law the chief argu.
ment in favor of which was, that it fos-
tered independence and would tend to
destroy the pernicious subserviency to
party. Judging from recent events,
however, it may be that any legislation
having even the slightest tendency to
favor party allegiance in North Dakota,
may prove valuable, as afording by so
much g check to conditions which fore
shadow impending political chaos.
