there may be foundation for the reports

HENRY CLEws weekly review of trade
about hits the nail on the head, in ex-
planning the continued dullness. He says
the tariff bill from having been ap-
parently certain of enactment, is now
thrown into much doubt. It is quite
uncertain whether the senate will accept
the income tax appendage to the tariff;
and it is equally doubtful whether the
house will consent to the elimination Of
that feature. There seems to be little
chance of the senate reaching a vote on
the question before the middle Of May;
and after that there is likely to come a
dilatory dickering between the two
houses. Moreover, it is now becoming a
question among congressman, whether
v the president might accept the bill,
provided it came to him with the income
tax clause annexed. 1t thus seems pos
sible that this measure may remain I'M
settled until the beginning or middle of
June, and there is nc judging whether in
the end, the bill will be defeated or
enacted. This uncertainty brings new
confusion into the importing interest and
the whole range Of home industries.
There is no longer any sufficient basis of
probability to warrant the undertaking
of extensive operations for the fall trade,
and the business in manufactured goods
must be continued upon the hand to
mouth scale from which trade has been
suffering more or less for the last nine
months. 1t remains to be seen how far
public opinion will tolerate this trifing
delay. It;is but a game of politics, and
largely a personal one at that. The
people know how to speak to their repre-
sentatives when their patience has been
too long triled with; and it is for them
to say whether it is not worth their
while to send up a protest to the senate
that will bring the men who are jaunt-
lily amusing themselves with a game of
party policy to a prompt conclusion. In
the meantime, the large financial re-
sources centering in Wall street are kept
in suspense; plans for new enterprises
have to be pigion-holed until these legis-
lative tri1ers are through with their ex-
hibition of %factional fencing; and manu-
facturers and merchants are kept on the
gridiron of doubt, waiting for they know
not what.

The first year of democratic rule is
just a little more than over. It is a
year upon which no one is eager to
dwell, because Of any national or oven
local prosperity which has marked it,
and yet it is interesting, for purposes of
comparison. It is interesting, as one
year of democratic rule, following a num-
Der Of years of republican rule. It is in
teresting as the first year Of the rule of
a party, whose accession was promised
to be followed by period of unexampled
prosperity, and plenty. Now, to fulfill a
promise Of an improvement over the

FARGo's RISE FROM The ASHES.

ARGO' RISE FROM THE ASHES.
The Minneapolis Tribune of yesterday,
has a neat little write-up of the new Far
go-with illustrations of the buildings
erected-and a word Of praise for the
pluck and energy of her citizens in ris-
ing from out tie ashes of despair, and
rebuilding a city almost totally destroy
ed.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the indomitable courage which charac-
terizes the rebuilding of the ruined city.
Destroyed, it may be said, at a time when
began one of the severest financial panics
in the history of the nation; it's build
ings in ashes and the homes of it's citi-
zens in crumbling ruins and shoulder
ing and smoking with a mocking persist
ence, at a time when other cities, even
without any such disastrous happenings,
were hard pressed to avoid destitutl on
and sufering-its citizens we're not dis
couraged. The savings of years were in
many cases wiped away in a brief half
hour. The result of years of toll
and hardship and %privatlon, and battling
with the adverse circumstances peculiar
to a new country went up in smoke and
flame in a single day. Those who had
comfortable homes when the day dawned,

WHILE that proposed contest at the
Midwinter fair, between the African lion
and the American grizzly bear would
not be just the incest thing in the world,
from a humane standpoint, yet it would
be interesting to know which one of these
animals is superior. The lions agility
and catlike quickness, would be opposed
by the bears wonderful endurance, great
weight and almost incredible strength
and the contest would no doubt be a very
pretty one, with odds, probably, a little
in favor of Bruin.

The Pollard-B Breckenridge suit, which
has been a source of great attraction to
sensationalists, has closed, after five
weary weeks of testimony, and counter"
testimony, allegations and denials, and
a daily regimen of scandal and moral filth
The verdict of the jury gives Miss
Pollard $4,000 damages. This, how
ever, is not its principal element, for, in
awarding these damages, it pronounces
Col. Breckenridge guilty of the charges
against him. 1t makes him, the gray
haired and presumably respectable rep
resentative of a commonwealth in the
halls of the nations congress, guilty of
leading astray, a girl, it may be said,
after first soothing her sense of morality
with honeyed words and specious
promises. It makes him guilty of a
continuance of his amours, even ere the
body of his wife had grown cold, in it's
grave. It makes him guilty Of a cow
ardly breach of his promise to the maid
On who trusted him, and it makes him
guilty, on the witness stand, of an en-
deavor to besmirch what of character the
plaintiff had left, after he himself had
robbed her of the greater portion. OF
all these things he is guilty, net by the
express verdict Of the jury, but by their
implication of facts, in the awarding of
damages. Col. Breckenridge's own con-
fession make him the worst type of a
rome and libertine. He admits his guilt,
and defends himself with the plea that
guilt is general, and he is but one of
many who are guilty. The verdict
against him will be generally approved,
and it's approval should be expressed, at
least by those voters of his district, by a
refusal to return him to the congress,
whose halls he has disgraced and whose
councils he has dishonored by his wan
ton proaigacy.

The Great Northern strike is a quite
complete one. From Grand Forks west,
the road is tied up, nothing but mail
passing over it's length. 1t is said that
the men east Of Grand Forks, also, stand
ready to go out whenever ordered, thus
tying up the entire system. Everything
has been quiet and orderly 30 far, no
harming of property, and no violence. It
looks rs though it would be a stubborn
conflict, and the outcome will be awaited
with interest.

The TRIBUNE publishes in another
column, a telegram from Geo. H. Sheck-
Ter of st. Paul, who was the lowest bid
der for the completion of the capitol ex-
tension. Mr.. Sheckler seems disposed
to do the fair thing by the city, should.
he get the contract, and promises to pur-.
chase his material here and employ his
men from this city. If the contract is to
go to some one outside the state, it will
be gratifying if the. material is pur-
chased in the city, and labor employed
from among the states workingmen.

IHE Fargo Forum will doubtless note
with interest-not to say pleasure, of
course-a copy OF the Keysville, Va,
Progress, of date April 18th, wherein the
Fargo Argus is the subject of two and
one-half columns of juicy roast, for hav-
ing dared to contradict the recent efu-
sion of Pat Donan, wherein he laud ed
the southern country to the skies, and
and inveighed bitterly against North
Dakota. The Progress roast of the Ar
gus and of the state is so violent, and so
altogether unsubstantiated by facts, that
it is more laughable than otherwise, and.
cali have no effect, other than to render
the bias ard prejudice of the writer at
once evident. One passage relating to
the Argus is as follows:
Its photographic news is from three to
six days old, and the green mold OF age and
decay grows over all it's "latest intelli-
gence." Among the "important news" in
its issue of Sunday, March Is, are the
Observation-Disclosures proceedings of a
week before, an account of the French
victory over the Dahomey savages a year
or so ago, and a "Reminiscences of George
Washington in 1894. AS a "~newspaper., il is
a fraud and an imposition even on an igno-
rant and semi .barbarous Dakota commun-
ity.
And another of those "blizzard" par
agraphs, is as follows:

realm of Arctic horrors, with telegraph

abandoned, and people and live stock freez.

Colonel Donan a libeler of 'the glorious

portions of the article in question, one

Dakota law, and taking opportunity at
this time, to vent his surplus spleen
through the editorial columns of a news

As was expected, Chauncy Depew Ok
plains away the principal significance of
that st. Louis interview, wherein he was
accredited with the statement that he
would be candidate at the presidential
convention in '95. Chauncey says it is
too early to talk of such things, and the
report Of his having SO spoken, grew out
of a joke of his which q st. Louis report
or took too seriously. Depew is one of
the most logical Of reasoners, and one of
the most l~evel.headed Of public men,
and it is not his custom to make public
declarations Of his own private plans,
three years before they can be- carried
out. For this reason, Chauncey's cor
rection Of the reportof his interview was
expected and the expectation has been
realized.

Now it may be argued that this in.
crease was but the natural result of a
rapidly growing nation, whose needs
we're many, and whose Industries must
be enlarged to meet them. But in this
case, it is interesting to note, argument
tatively, that the needs of a nation are
regulated in extent by the condition of
Its people, and that the condition of it's
people depends upon it's economic sys-
tenn, and that the whole hinges upon
the governmental policy. In proof of
this may be cited the fact that after two
OF the most prosperous years in the his
tory of the nation, 1892, follows one,
whose business has decreased so much,
and whose industry has fallen away to
such an extent, that the volume of bust
ness in fifty of the largest cities of the
nation falls off over thirteen and
one-half billions Of dollars in
a twelve-month. Such is the rec
ord of the policies of the two
parties by comparison. One builds up,
with Incredible rapidity, Industries which
increase the number of the employed by
two million persons, and their wages by
one and one-half billions of dollars-in
ten years, and the other, in the course
of a twelve-month, paralyzes the indus

harmony. Some one said, 1T is cold''; when
the heart speaks, the music will be harmony.

Sunday morning Rev. FIR. CorcOran officiating.
AS a prelude the choir sang the anthem Joy and

Religion. the chapter: Religion of the Jews;
followed by hymn 21O, and the Lords prayer re-
peated by the congregation. The scripture les
son for the day. the oath Sunday after PentecOst,
was taken from st. Paul to the Romans XII. 16.

''And Jesus said into the centurion, 90 thy
aCdy; and as thou hast believed, be it done
unto thee. A9td his serrdnt Was healed in the
selfsdme hour.
The Rev. Father pictured Christ as he came
down from the mountain followed by the multi
tude; the lame, the blind and the leper, all anX-
iOuS to be cured: and how He taught them, that
without faith in the Father, who was in Heaven
they could not be cured. The centurion believed
in the saviour, and with faith beseeched the
saviour to speak but the word and his servant
should be healed and Christ answered him
saying, las thOw hast believed so belt done
unto thee" and the servant was forthwith
cured. All through Christ'S life there is revealed
that wonderful love and mercy toward those who
were afflicted. None can be so far gone, so lost in
sin. that the great love of Christ cannot surround
and save; even the deSpised Mary Magdaen
who was stunned by all. stoned in the streets
followed Him to the house of Simon and washed
his feet. Christs mission on earth, was to save
that which was lost and Oh my brethren how
many among you today are lost in the moral
leprOsy of sin. 1t is the same today as of old
Christ can make you whole. Man has but to cast
his burden upon Him, and with cOntrite heart
ask the forgiveness of God to become whole, to
be pure. to enjoy happiness in this world. and
everlasting Joy in the world to come.
We must have faith and like the scribe of old
follow Him whithersOever He leads: for with this
faith we need have no fear for the future. Chris
came not to call the righteous but the sinners to
repentance and now is the accepted time Let us
believe in Him. and ours shall be the reward
