the only one that needs to be considered
in determining the case. Prior to the
law of 1889 there had been a compulsory
gross earnings tax law on the statute
books. Under this law the Northern
Pacific became delinquent for the taxes
of 1886, 1887 and 1888. The law of
1889 did not become operative until &C
cepted by the road, and the taxes delin-
quent under the act of 1888 had been
paid. Beyond that a portion of the
taxes for 1889 must be paid prior to
August 18th. The road accepted the
act, paid it's taxes due under the old act,
but did not tender it's tax for 1889. That
act was repealed by the organic act OF
the state of North Dakota IN November,
1889, but the court holds that this does
not relieve the road, and not having fully
accepted the provisions of the of 1889 by
the payment or tender of it's taxes for
the year as provided in that act, it can
not be granted the relief prayed for.

GRANT HAGER, postmaster at st. Thorn
as, brought the mail down yesterday on a
handcar, so that it could be sent out on the
Northern. Paciic.-Walsh County Record,
The report that Postmaster Haper
takes mail down to Grafton on a hand
car, in order to send it out over the
Northern Pacific, proves that a public
Office isn't always a private snap. The
fact that a postmaster in one of North
Dakota's cities, is forced to assume the
duties of mail clerk, and furnish equiva-
Tents for a mail car and railroad engine,
should demonstrate to any one that
the life Of the postmaster is not all roses.
Imagine n of Uncle Sam's servants
standing at a delivery window for six
hours a day, informing people that there
is no mail for them, and then taking
another period of, to trundle a handcar
to a neighboring city, with outgoing
mail. And yet, it seems that postmast-
ers assume liability to perform all these
duties, with the only reward that they
are accused Of wasting valuable time to
decipher valueless postal cards.

The business improvement which was
promised with the opening of spring, has
failed to make its appearance. The
volume of domestic trade has not mater
tally increased, and manufactures are
still small in quantity. The immediate
reaction, which was promised by the
democrats, has not came. And, further
more, the prospects of business revival
grow slighter and smaller. In numer-
GUS places throughout the east, strikes
have thrown thousands out of employ
ment. In various other places, the un-
employed are gathered together, and
are marching almost aimlessly eastward.
Each unemployed person who is con-
cerned in these movements, means just
SO many dollars and cents taken from
the aggregate purchasing power of the
nation, and in the decrease in the ability
to purchase lies the secret Of business
stagnation. Last year, and when the
financial panic was at its worst, demo-
Gratis glibly asserted that it was the
result of too much prosperity, and of too
extensive speculation. At its conclusion,
they said, business would experience a
healthy revival, and spring would see
things moving along prosperously, on a
re-adjusted basis. Instead OF this, the
panic is over, and the nations industry
is still PROSTATE. Blasted by the panic
of last year, democracy persists in ad-
ministering to it, IN it's enfeebled condi-
ton, nauseous and harmful doses of
doubt and free trade pills. Business in
dustry refuses to revive, and democratic
doctors fail to aid it because of a wilfullv
erroneous diagnosis of it's disease.

The democratic state central commit
tee met in Fargo yesterday, and decided
upon Grand Forks as the place, and
July 26th as the date for the conven-
ton. The appointment of delegates was
made, and the Burleigh county democrats
will have seven delegates, AS against five in
1892. There was some significant fusion
talk, and the discussion which was had
proves that the democrats are not en-
amored of the idea Of cutting no figure
in the state beyond that of voting the
populists into power, as they did in '92
and receiving therefor-well, not any
thing more substantial than thanks, if
that. Senator Kinter of LaMoure, who
is one of the recognized leaders of de-
mocracy, is of the opinion that fusion
may be effected-but c%ounsels the
utmost caution, and says the democrats
must have either the governor or con-
gresham, otherwise no fusion. Finlay
Grant seemed willing to surrender to
the populists, should the democrats
be able to save the supreme judgeship
out of the wreck. And j. E. Campbell,
the Morton county ideal of straight
democracy, is in favor of a straight
democratic ticket, unless a fair fusion
can be effected-and he says, and quite
truly, that "a fair deal cannot be effected,
as every one of the populists is a candi-
date, and thinks he owns the earth"-in
fact, there are not enough Offices now, to
go round among the aspiring ones, and
it any of these have to be surrendered to
the dems, the insuficiency will be still
more troublesome.

and family for clothing, because Of en-
forced idleness and lack of employment.
And there is another remark Of Senator
VOORHEES, which is worthy of comment.
He says that it is absurd to suppose that
a duty of IL cents a pound has been Of
any benefit to the grower. If this is a
fact, why is it that the wool industry
thrived up to the time of democratic
supremacy, when began the free wool
agitation. In our W state of North
Dakota, what has increased the number
of sheep from 30,244 in 1880 lin what
was then the territory Of Dakota) to
nearly 100000 in the state of North
Dakota alone in 1894. What has in
creased the wool clip from 157,O25
pounds in Dakota in 1880 to over a mil
lion pounds of wool secured in 1898?
The tariff has certainly not benefited the
manufacturer to the detriment of the
producer, one of the favorite arguments
of democracy, for it has made him pay
IL cents a pound more for his wool.
Senator Voorhees, arguments are too
gauzy, and the wool growers of North
Dakota and other states are not to be
misled.

might be stated that this excessive
~wickedDess exists in several other cities
in the United States, aside from Bis
marck, and as yet the most ardent re-
formers have been unable to wipe it out.
There is another crying evil, too, to
which MI. MoHet's attention is directed,
in the hope that he may be able to
remedy it, and that is the %pernicious
custom of allowing "grab-bags," and
"fsh ponds at church fairs and festi-
walls. The country has not yet been
thoroughly awakened to the dire dan
ger which exists to Twentieth century
morals from these corrupting lotteries.
The innocent youth, who expends his
first nickel for a "grab" or a "fsh,"
realizes not that he is on the verge Of
destruction! He knows not how near he
stands to the edge of the frightful abyss
of financial ruin! He follows up his
custom of bucking the grab-bag and the
fish pond, until finally he is sucked IN
by the lottery octopus, and ruined!
Death to the grab.bag, and the fish
pond! They constitute the opportunity
for a glorious reform.

HENRY CLEws says Wall street is still
brooding cautiously over a situation be-
set with uncertainty Of one kind or
another. The crops, the tariff, the cur-
rency. the spectre of financial sectional
ism, the significance of the new tramp
element in politics, the wide prevalence
OF strikes, and the new peace element in
Europe with it's probable effects upon
international investments-all these mat
ters, important in themselves and some
OF them fraught with significant posi-
bilities, are felt to demand attention, and
yet for the moment they are in a condi-
ton OF suspense. Perhaps there is
nothing in any of them that conveys any
distinct menace; but the fact that
changes are impending in SO many mat.
tiers which may more or less Influence
the future of investment, is calculated to
hold business in suspense. Transactions
are therefore of a f~ragmentary character,
n there are no symptoms of any large
concerted movements calculated to ma
teriaJly affect values. Holders of tha
floating supplies Of securities. however.
see nothing to disturb their confidence:
and raiders find nothing to encourage
attacks, but are wary in their tactics.

WHEN FIRST ADOPTED.

In the light Of the fact that a house
heavily democratic, has adopted the fam
GUS Reed quorum-counting rule, it is ex-
ceptionally interesting to note how these
same democrats first received the rule,
when it was laid down by Speaker Reed.
1t was on Jan. %, 1890, and the con-
tested election case of Smith Jackson,
from West Virginia, was called up.
Such cases always generate bad blood.
They are privileged, and can be called
up at any time, but it is also in order to
raise the question of consideration
against them. This question was in
stantly raised by Mr.. Crisp, who, by the
way, is the speaker of the house which
has now adopted the rule in question,

The latest reports from the senate are
that wool will not be taken from the
free list. AS an action Of triumphant
democracy, this will be interesting to
raisers of wool in North Dakota, and
especially to those, if any, of them who
voted for Cleveland. Senator Voorhees,
has written a letter on the subject to a
Chicago friend, in which he makes some
rather remarkable statements in the
matter. In the first place, Senator
Voorhees, says that the trouble with
prices of wool, is that there is an over
production in the various countries of
the world as we'll as our own. And in
the very next breath, he urges the
removal of the tariff. Now if there is
overproduction of wool in foreign coun-
tries, will it aid the price of wool in the
United States to take off the tariff, and
allow that surplus to be sold in our mar
kets. Senator Voorhees, says we, our
selves, have q surplus. Even, for the
sake of argument, admitting this to be
true, do we better the condition of the
market, by adding to this, the surplus o.
other countries, the product of cheap
herdsmen, and cheap shearers, and other
facilities of climate and circumstance
which lessen the cost of its production?
And it may be we'll to state, for the edi-
fication of Mr.. Voorhees, and the free
woolites, that what he deslgnates as over
production is merely that surplus wool
for which there is no demand, because of
the stagnation of business in the wooden
factories. Give us a good, healthy re-
sumption of business, and this so.called
surplus will be bought at good price,
and manufactured into cloth, and pur-
chased by the prosperous workingman,
who will not be forced to stint himself

EDITOR STREETER of the Emmons
County Record is a little puzzled to un-
derstand how one or two state papers
especial]y-can support Senator La
Moure, in view of their protested good
ness and goodness. In the last issue
of the Record he says:
1t is surprising to see a friendly feeling
for Jud LaMoure manifested by Winship.
Moffet and a few others ''truly g0od'' edi-
tors throughout the state. Have they for
gotten the boiler-room episode in the CAPT
tol building during the session of '9O-'9l?
Is not LaMoure a disgrace to the people
of his county and of the state? Has he
ever pursued a straightforward course
with any party or faction in matters of
legislation? Has it not been his steadfast
policy to so maneuver as to place himself
i'll convention or in the legislature at the
head of a few followers who held the
balance of power, and who always camped
in close proximity to the point where the
boodle-car was s~ide-tracked? With a
scarcely audible voice, with an extremely
limited command command of language,
personally as homely as a hedge fence,
with none of the generally accepted quail
fcations for leadership, he has kept him
self to thef fore in his own county through
the power OF his money and not because
men more competent and honest were
lacking in the republican ranks of Penn
bina, and through the force of his Pemblna
backing he has succeeded in retaining
prominence in the republican party of the
state. 1t is claimed by his intimates that
he has considerable knowledge of the
principles of Cushing and of Roberts as
we'll as of the methods of procedure out
lined by Hoyle, and that he is equally at
home while taking part in sessions that
work under either system. BE it as it NAV,
it is diff cult to see why the angelic Moffet
and the saintlike Winship should have a
word to say in excuse or defense of a man
in public place whose only claim to their
esteem is that, while protesting to be in
sympathy with the advocates of resub-
mission, he has never missed an opportu-
nifty of deserving his friends in the legisla-
ture when fruition of their hopes seemed
nigh.
Most men respect a square-toed enemy.
Does any one believe that Mr.. Motfet or
Mr.. Winship has the least doubt that it
would be a good thing tor the republican
party of this state to be permanently rid of
I1aMoure? They expouse his cause for
the reason that they believe, from his past
record, that they can always depend upon
him TO turn traitor supreme this l.moment
when resubmission is put upon its passage.

The latest census bulletin gives some
interesting marriage statistics. OF the
entire population of the United States
in June, 1890, very nearly three.ffths,
or 1929 per cent, we're single, a little
more than one-third, or 1886 per cent.
were married. and not quite one-twen-
tieth, or 4.4 per cent, were widowed.
The divorced constituted but a small
fraction of 1 per cent. of the whole num-
Der, while those whose conjugal condi-
ton was unknown constituted even q
smaller proportion. Considering briefly,
the results regarding the conjugal con-
ditions Of males and females, respective
ly, for the United States as a whole, it
appears that OF the 32,O67,880 males in
the country IL, 945, SIG, or 62.2O per cent,
we're single; II, 2O5, 228, or 34.94 per cent,
were married; 815,437, or 2.54 per cent,
we're widowed; and 49,1O1, or Is per
cent, were divorced. The total number
of females in the country was consider
ably less than that of the males, being
30, $40, of which 17,183,9S8, or 1924
per cent, we're single. This proportion,
it will be noted, is decidedly less than
that of the male. The number of mar
ried females was l1,126,196, being prac-
tically the same as that of married males
while the proportion was 36.41 per cent,
which is greater than that of the males.
The number of widows was 2,154,615, or
7.05 per cent. of the total number of
females. As is seen, the proportion Of
widows Was nearly three times as great
as that of widowers, showing that a
greater proportion of widowersE remarry
than of widows. The number of di-
vorced women was 1855, being O.24 per
cent, or considerably more than the
proportion of males. This probably in
dicates that divorced men have remar-
ried to a greater extent than divorced
woman.
