Love-Makine in FARGO.

The Forum has been handed page of
a letter-numbered 24-which the own
er can have by applying at the Office. It
is addressed to an "angel of another
world" who is called Arnie, and as it
was picked up near one of the restaur-
ants on Front street, it is supposed to be
intended for one of the fair maidens
whose sweet smiles cause the hungry
man to forget to swear at the flies. Ex-
perts in chirography state that the hand
writing bears close family resemblance
to that of good-looking gentleman en-
ployed as an expert by one OF the math-s
inery companies. In case the '.darling
of his heart' should hold him to his
pledge that the s'crater Of Vesuvius does
not hold sufficient death dealing power.
but what would brave it for one smile
from thy sweet ruby lips" the Forum
hopes he will supply its readers with an
account ofhis experiences in the volcanoes
yawning depths.
The young lady is requested to call as
soon as possible and get the letters ,as the
insurance men fear spontaneous combus-
ton. That there may be no mistake,
s.page "a" is printed verbatim. and reads
as follows:

SO long as these same laws We're admin
istcred by the Republican party no harm
came to us. Our employment was con
stant and our wages were good. We
must therefore be suffering from the fear
of bad administration; for fear that the
very laws will be repealed under which
business was good and our employment
was secure.'' .....r.. 80
If the working people are suffering on
account of bad tariff laws why did not
those laws produce the same results un-
der Republican rule? More than that;
if these laws are so bad why was not
Congress called together, and why were
not these laws repealed? A late session
has been called but not for any such pur-
pose. The President simply promises in
his message that at some future time the
tariff shall be revised. His statement has
only aggravated the trouble. If fear of
repeal works such injury, what will tol-
low the repeal itself?'
If at this extra session of Congress the
Sherman law shall be repealed, and if
Congress shall then adjourn leaving the
threat for the early passage of a tariff
law drawn for the purposes of revenue
only, then relief to the business men of
this country will not follow this extra
session. If this Congress will also pass
a resolution that there shall be no radi-
ca! changes in our tariff schedules during
this entire Congress, and then go home
and afterward keep their promise, the
country will get Immediate relief. Busi-
ness will at once revive. Men will again
be given employment.
know such a course will meet the
statement, that it will ignore the verde
of the last election. Perhaps that may
be true. But has there not already
enough taken place to show that chat ver-
dict was wrong? Is it not plain that our
trouble comes to-day from the fact that
the people themselves fear that the par
ty in power are about to be governed by
their notion as to such verdict, and are
about to ignore all the facts that have
occurred in this country since the ver-
dict was rendered? ..
beg of the party in power to give at
tention to these facts. Do not, beg of
you, permit your pride of opinion to lead
you into legislation that will only add
fuel to the fire that has already com
menced to burn! Legislate for the peo-
pie who live and labor in this country of
ours, even though in SO doing some of
your pet theories may be shattered.
One thing IS most certain. No part,
that fails to heed the voice of men who
are out Of work and that manages SO as
to cut down the price of honest toll in
this country will long lie kept in power.
The days of such a party are already
numbered.-R. G.. Horr in New York

already far outrivals the. Paris exposi-
ton, and it is miniature of the world
which it is worth ones while and lie
time to see. 1t is a grand object lesson
of which we should all avail ourselves,
and which is worthy df more than a
hurried survey. 1t is impossible to
comprehend the magnitude of this
great show till we visit the buildings,
and see how much time is necessary to
take even superficial survey of the
exhibits in one building. The Worlds
fair is the greatest event of the century
and this assemblage of all nahonalities
from all parts of the world, will doubt
less be referred to as a national and his
toric event in the centuries to come.

The British house of lords cannot GER
tainly last much longer. The rising tide
Of democracy will rise and overwhelm
them. They have lately made them
selves more than ever obnoxious to the
people by voting down a bill providing
that where there was no will children in
Great Britain should share equally in
the real estate of their parents. This
would in modified degree destroy the
right of primogeniture, which has lasted
so many centuries in Great Britain. The
eldest son would indeed have his title,
but nothing to maintain his state. The

Charges at the Worlds Fair.

This is subject in which majority
of the people of America are interested
They will be glad, therefore, to be as
sured by the director general of the Co
lumbar exposition, Hon. George r. Da
Wis, that they need not fear oyercharging
in Chicago when theygo to visit the fair.
He writes about the matter in The North
American Review.
He reminds us, naturally enough, that
the people Of Chicago, for the credit of
their city, for the sake of drawing as
many visitors there as possible, would
refrain from overcharging for lodging
and board. Nevertheless it viii be the
best plan for all who can to engage lodgI
ings before they so to Chicago and have
the price expressly stipulated. Thus
they will not go it blind and put them
selves in a position to be leeced. There
is connected with the fair management
a hotel bureau which undertakes to con-
tract in advance with landlords for lodg-
ings for such visitors as may desire their
aid. The bureau has already contracted
for lodgings for an average of $4,000 Wis
itors daily, with landlords whose charges
will range from ST. a day for one room
occupied by one person to $3.50 day
for large room occupied by four per-
SONS The large hotels are not included
in the list of houses with which the bu-
reau makes terms.
Estimates show that the city can &C
commodate 100000 persons with food
and lodging at one time. The large no
tells have IAN emergency capacity" Of
10000, The average daily attendance at
the last Paris exposition was 1870, 900, the
largest number in any one day being
400, 900. On the days of largest attend
ance at Paris it was shown that at least
100000 people belonged in Paris or its
immediate vicinity. The local popula-
ton swelled the list to its highest figures,
and Mr.. Davis expects the same will be
the case at Chicago. There will not be
so great local population on which to
draw at Chicago, however.
Clubs, societies and religious organ
izations have made large provision for
persons of small means. The Womans
Dormitory furnishes lodgings to 1000 la
dies day. The price of share of its
stock is $40. 1t entities the holder or
holders to % days lodging at the Dormi-
tory.

Biennial Legislative Sessions.

In Massachusetts old time tradition
adheres to this day to the annual cleo
ton of both governor and members of
the legislature. 1t has been argued that
this makes great fuss and feathers, with
no corresponding good results to show;
that, In short, it would be much better to
have not only the governor elected every
two years, but also the legislative assem-
bly, meet only every other year. Usages
of the states differ according to their own
sweet fancy in this matter. A majority
hold elections for both. governor and
legislature biennially, with annual ses-
sions Of the latter body. Probably COM
mon opinion favors this system.
In the New England Magazine Mr..
Raymond l.. Bridgman argues in favor
not only of electing governor, but also
the legislature every year. Truth com
pels an unprejudiced observer to say that
his reasons for the annual legislative SEES
nons are stronger than those for the an
nuai elections. One point which he men
tons is that the rural inhabitants would
be satisfied with meeting of the legis-
lature every two years. They live quietly
and simply. They do not feel the rush
ing current of growth pushing them
tiercely on.
1t Is the cities that require annual SEES
nona New needs constantly arise as
the population increases and civilization
becomes more complex. To mention
only one or two instances, whenever a
discovery like the telephone OF the cleo
trio light and electric transit is put TO
general use, a multitude of laws must
be made to fit the new needs. It is the
same all over. The law of development
requires that the old should be wiped
out, the new made place for. Then, too,
In our new countries the mistakes of law
makers are something prodigious. As
wit once said, the mistakes of doctors
are hidden underground; those of the
lawyers and lawmalxing bodies cannot
be- When legislature has made a bad
break, it must come together as quickly
as possible and mend the break.
There is another reason Mr.. Bridgman
might have brought forward, but does
not, In favor of annual sessions. In this
country every man is a sovereign, and
all citizens ought to be kept in touch
with the times and governing laws as
well as with parliamentary rule and
usage This can be accomplished by no
means so well a. by annual legislative
session.

The Florida Phosphate Boom.

''The boom is burst. The bubble is
pricked," writes Alfred Allen in The Cos
mopolitan of the Florida phosphate craze.
While it lasted it was a craze only equal
ed by the gold fever of California or the
earlier orange grove excitement in Flor
ida itself. But it is over now, and Mr..
Allen is glad of it. Thousands of spec
ulators and some hundreds of honest
people have been ruined, the price of
phosphate rock has dropped in the Liver
pool market from S25 to $12 ton, yet
now the business will be conducted on a
legitimate basis, and "those who invested
to mine--not sell-will be sure of fair
profits"
The height which the speculative fever
reached may be judged from the fact
that although the output from the Flor
ida phosphate mines does not equal the
demand, yet the price is going down
steadily. 'In this steady musketry rat
tie of falling prices has been heard the
boom of failing companies" The dis
covery of phosphate rock was made in
Marion county, Fla, in June, 1888. The
beds undoubtedly underlie a large Dor
ton of central and southwestern Florida
This substance is worth more than gold
In some respects, for it will restore pro-
ductiveness to exhausted soil. Crops take
from the earth immense quantities of
phosphoric acid. This the Florida rock
replaces. One ton of the rock resupplies
a meadow of 40 acres with the phos-
phoric acid the hay crop took off.
Fortunes were made and lost in phos-
pilates, as in the gold regions. The Flor
ida natives mostly call the rich rock
"phosafat," and it has proved fat indeed
to some of them. In Citrus county many
were preparing for grand exodus to a
more fertile region when the mines were
discovered. The phosphate rock is found
in the poor pine lands. The Citrus coun-
ty natives would have been glad to sell
their farms for dollar an acre. In a
few weeks the mineral discovery made
the price jump in some instances to $50
an acre. The natives sold their property,
and had at one time more money than
they ever expected to have all their lives
Some killed themselves by drink"
writes Mr.. Allen. 1t is probable that
most of them are as poor today as they
were before they were suddenly made
rich by "phosafat." One trick they
soon learned was to salt the surface of
their land with the rock hauled from the
mines, but the experienced prospector
quickly detected the little game. Farm
ers are much like other people.

A Happy Old Boy.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
seems to be enjoying the ideal old age.
1t is such an age as all mankind will Ell
joy, say, by the end of the twentieth cen
fury. 1t is an oh age without physical
pain or weakness and with all the men,
tai powers at their best and with the
philosophy at command which tussling
with the world always gives to the right
minded person. The correspondent al
ludes to the pope and Gladstone, both
beyond 80, both doing an amount of
work never exceeded in their busiest
years. He mentions also Verdi, 70 years
old, of whose latest opera, ''Falstaff," the
London Saturday Review says, 1T is
hard to believe that the new opera is not
the work of an impetuous young man in
the heyday of life" AS to old ages being
burden, the correspondent remarks:
do not find it so. 1t is to me the happiest
period of a life that has been rich in happiness.
1t has brought freedom from many cares re-
lief from vain ambition. The mind is broader
than ever 1t was before, and just as lively and
lefllle as ever Inc spirit seems 10 be quicken
ing; the humors are generous; the brain and
hands are active; the physique is lusty; the step
is light; there is no heavy burden on this old
back, which is as straight as u stick, and which
has got rid Of the burdens that it bore 40 years
ago. The past has given me knowledge of life
and of the world and of mankind, all of which
like better every year. | have had more ex-

Industrial enterprises are on the up
grade in the south. During the first quar-
ter of 1898 the manufacturing establish
ments started in the southern states ex-
ceeded those for the same period in 1892
by 1893. The increase was especially noted
in cottonseed oil mills and wood work
ing factories. This month the governors
of all the southern states meet in conven-
ton at Richmond to form plans for the
industrial development of the south. 1t
is certain that they will take pains to inn
press upon the public the few fixed all
round principles on which the prosperity
of every community depends. Mob rule
and crimes of violence must be sup
pressed and law and order maintained
first. Then there must be good roads.
Next there must be good schools. The
climate, soil and natural resources of
many parts of the south are not exceed
ed even by those of California.

Some local notices ofmeetings which
were to be held yesterday afternoon
were unavoidably crowded out of Sun
days issue, not through any desire to
withhold the notices, which the HER

the fact that the local brevities hap
pened to get an underplace on the fore

Stay at Home Vacations.

There will be people--some of the salt
of the earth, too--who cannot get away
for journey this coming summer. No,
not even to go to the Worlds fair. The
outlook is rather a dreary one to those
among them who are both tired and SEN
sitive. Many can get apparently no recre-
alton at all, strive as they may. But for
those fortunate enough to live in or near
the country there is way whereby they
may secure at once health, change and
recreation.
We suggest to city stay at homes that
they try to get into the country for the
summer at a place where those who
are compelled to do so may go to and
from their daily town work. And to
both city and village people who can
not get a vacation we suggest that they
try gardening on small scale. Few
persons are SO shut in that they cannot
find place where there is ground enough
to have few flower beds. Blooming
plants may be put in if the stay at home
cannot plant flower seeds early enough.
It will be interesting to those who
have never tried it to find out Just how
beautiful they can make some neglected
patch Of ground. Rising early in the
morning and cultivating the flowers be-
fore the serious workday begins will fill
the lungs with air, and the fragrant soil
will breathe a blessing upon the person
who tries to make it grow lovely flowers.
The bees will hum about the flowers
and thank you for giving them that
much more honey. The landscape will
become more beautiful for your efforts.
The fragrance of blossoms you have made
manifest will float upon the air, bringing
sweet perfume to jaded spirits.
And Sundays you will have time to lie
in the shade and yourself contemplate
this JOY and beauty you have brought
into existence

A contemporary has the best defini'
ton Of free trade we ever saw. 1t says
that the supposition that the free
trader loves free trade is absurd what
he loves is to possess the power TO buy
what he wants for less money than his
fellow countryman can produce it and
live. That covers the case exactly, and
when we get down close to the fact,
the genuine free trader in this country
is determined TO compel the working
men of this country to work for the
same wages that they do beyond the
sea, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
They did not tell this to the men who
toll in the factories, last summer; rather,
they told them they were being I'M
justly used by the wealthy barons who
had grown rich through protection,
and u great many thousands Of these
men accepted the statement even while
they were receiving employment which
would never have been given them eX-
cept for protection, and were receiving
better wages than were men engaged
in similar occupations anywhere else
the world round. Free trade is poison
which will bring its own antidote if
only given in sufficiently large doses.
