nor-the only one we ever had, or, he
hoped, would have. He demonstrated
the fallacy of the populist demands for
government ownership of railroads and
the foolishness of the money heresies of
pop orators. How, under the tariff agi-
tations of democrats, aided by populists,
in congress, all farm produce had stead
lily declined, while sugar and other
necessary articles which this state does
not produce, had increased in cost. He

R. N. Stevens spoke for thirty minutes,

Nov. 20, 1889, Immediately after the
adoption Of the state constitution, said:
"Section 81 of the constitution, fixing
the salaries Of the state officers, says:
All fees and profits arising from any of
said Offices shall be covered into the
state treasury I most respectfully call
your attention to the Importance Of
some legislation for the purpose of carry
ing out this provision OF the section of
the constitution requiring all officers re-
ceiving fees to keep. true and accurate
detailed accounts of fees so received, and
quarterly at least, report and pay into
the treasury the amount so received,
with a ,certified statement to be filed
with the auditor, said statement to be
approved by the executive"
BY the laws of the section above quot
ed, the treasurer is required to cover in
to the treasury, all interest obtained
from balances on hand from time to
time. Some legislation making specific
provision therefor, should be enacted.

The practice has grown up within the
past fifteen years of sending commercial
agents, known as travelling men to every
town or city in the country, soliciting
trade in all branches of mercantile
pursuits, and today there is scarcely a
house doing wholesale business that
has not in it's employ travelling men,
commonly known as drummers. They
comprise the keenest, brightest, shrewd-
est set OF business men Of the country,
and associating as they do with the busi-
ness men Of every town in the country,
are the best posted on the current topics
of the day. There are 100 and over of
them who make Fargo either their home
or headquarters. Among the number is
w. G. Tubbs son-in-law of our towns
man E. H. Wilson. He was asked this
morning just before taking the train,
what he thought of the situation polit-
ically in the state, and said 'sof the 100
travelling men who make Fargo their
headquarters there are at least rs of
them republicans, 25 democrats and not
a single ''pop," and of the democrats
there will be few if any who vote for
more on the ticket than the straight
democratic nominees. Travelling over
the state as I have I am fully satisfied
as is every travelling man with whom I
have talked that the republican state
ticket will be elected from top to bottom
by good majority" Coming as this
does from one of the best informed
travelling men on the road, it presages to
our minds that condition of the state
politically which we had hoped for and
which it will show by the election re-
turns actually exists.
