The Forum for March begins its sew
ssnteenth volume, and hns therefore
reached a period wheuit may be classi-
lied among the older group of our period
3Eca1s. The reduction Of its price has
proved more rapidly successful than its
publishers expected, so that 1t starts into
ibis newyolume With a larger circle of
readers, and correspundingly with q
! wider influence, than any Review in the
English language. Tho number for
March contains discu ssions of the Income
! Tax and the great Railroad failures; Of
1 colonization as remedy for city poverty; /;
of the stability Of the great religious
3sects of the; Nationalists' programme for
reforming society; of the Gothenburg

and pull together, and accomplish
something; and why can not the
farmer? Because they distrust each
other,and are too selfish. They are just
as ready to cut each others throats
as they imagine other people are to
cut theirs. These are facts which
can be proven in any court by the
testimony of the farmers themselves.
But these accursed political reformers
and calamity howlers, who exert
themselves to their utmost to get
into power tor self interest, will not
mention the damaging facts, though
they know them, becausey the would
not get granger's vote for their

a Swapping" society for the good of
certain politicians and seem to disre-

to be run by just as much of a

this state have always been itching
for office and are pulling the wool

to further their own interests. Just

A Queer Find.

Will Hotchkiss, of jamestown, has
been plotting party of imported
hunters over the prairies of North Da-
kota, and while southeast of Sanborn
met with strange adventure.
While hurrJing along to pick up a
chicken which enc of the hunters had
shot, he stepped into a badger hole and
fell headlong. His hand came in cor.
tack with an antiquated gun of the
double.barrel scatter variety, rusty and
time-eaten, hanmerless on the right
hand side, while the left.hand barrel
contained six inch load. Recovering
himself, young Hotchkiss was Mortified
to see human skeleton lying face
down by the side of the rusty gun.
The strangest part of the story is to
come.
On the back of the skull was dimly,
almost illegibly, traced what looked
like, eric the Red, 1040;" while one of
the long, bony fingers was pointing to
stone table, half hidden in the accum-
ulations of time, upon which was rude.
lv scrawIed an inscription, which, after
clearing away the debris, he with diff.
Guilty made out what appeared to be
the following words:
"Rogen Allln vii blive Walt til governor
af N. d. i 1854"
Perhaps some of our readers may be
able to translate it. 1t IS believed to be
some sort of a prophecy. we would be
glad to know what it means.
How the badger-hole, the chicken,
gun, skeleton. and Inscriptions came to
be there is only conjecture, but it is
supposed that some ancient huntsman
was in pursuit of chicken (perhaps the
same one Mr.. Hotchkiss was reaching
after). when he stepped into the hole,
the weapon in the fall being accidental.
ly discharged, and the man Of former
generation killed. As to the writings
we do not pretend to disclose their
source. We simply relate the facts as
the were given tn us.
To prove that his story is true one,
Mr.. HotckhIss produced the gun. and
we are bound to believe our own eyes.
Many man has been convicted by an
intelligent jury upon slighter evidence
than he produced. .-Sasborn Enterprise

There is a spirit of lawlessHess existing
in this town that should be Immediately
suppressed, but just how it is to be
done is question, for the officers of
the county seem to be hand in hand
with this law breaking gang and The
people are afforded no protection what
ever. On Wednesday morning tke
states attorney, sheriff, and justice of
the peace deliberately walked up to the
fruit stand of Emil Marquardt and stole
a water melon and went behind a build,
ing and proceeded to get outside that
melon. OF course we don't blame these
fellow for eating a water melon, but it
is setting bad precedent for the rising
generation. and we think Mr.. Mar
quardt would be doing the right thing
by having these parties arrested-if he
can find an officer to serve the papers
who has not had any of the melon-and
let them be dealt with according to laW.

CAMPAIGN FACTS
FOR FARMERS.

"But has the farmer had his share
of prosperity" Well, l do not
know, but will consider it. Our
commerce has greatly extended.
transportation facilities have
been multiplied, and manufac-
turing plants increased and enlarged;
and all this has helped the farmer;
because it has given him more to
feed and quicker access to them.
Whatever enlarges our commerce
and multiplies our manufactures
tends directly to promote the pros
perity of the farmer. OF all indus
trial men the farmer is most in need
of markets, good, and near at hand,
markets. The greater the demand is
tor his meats, his grains, his dairy
products the more certain will his
prosperity be. A careful study OF
statistics will show that the farmer
has had his share of prosperity. This
is not saying that he always gets all
he demands, tor he does not, and,
possibly, could not without being un-
just to others. The farmer is made
to believe that he is being robbed
every time he goes to market; posi-
bly,, he never stops to think that he
may be a robber of others. The
farmer is sure that the market places
are full of thieves. He is told this
by his political teachers and he be-
lieves it. They never tell him, how
ever, that the farms harbor as big a
lot OF dishonest fellows as ever walked
the floor of a Board OF Trade; but
such is fact, as the merchant and
the hired man can swear to, and not
more than half swear either. Why
dent the farmers pull together better
than they do? Men in other vocations
can unite and form combinations,

The popu.ist members of congress,
says Washington special, have re.
ceived many letters from their politi
cal friends expressing the fear that
the solid vote of the populist members
in favor of taxed sugar will not be
met by the approval Of their consti.
tuents. Their vote in support of the
senate bill, including the tax on
sugar, placed them in the attitude Of
being party to the sugar tax. This
is the feature, they are informed,
that will not meet the approval OF
their people, and at the same time
they are to be remembered in a SINH
lar way by fixing a tax on barted
wire. 1t will be the plan of some of
the populist members to insist that
they would not have supported the
senate Etariff bill had they not
been assured, and been led to believe,
that before congress adjourned,
sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire
would be placed on the free list.
The claim is to be made in the cam
paign that they were deceived into
the plan of supporting the senate bill,
and had they known that they were
not going to get free sugar they would
not have supported the bill. Senator

Peffer is said to be much concerned
about the fact that the ropulist mem
bers OF the house supported the SEN

approval. He is very much con-
cerned over the effect it will have
over the populist party in the west.
1t is understood that he did all he
could to induce the members of the
house to vote against the senate bill
but others predominated in populist
circles and brought about the result
he insisted would not improve the
party standing in populist districts.
