Billy Newdick, one Cass County's
old-timers, is reported by the Buffalo
Express as receiving recently a letter
from his sister in Cambridge, England
in which she relates the story Of one
"Rev." Peck, who is there taking up
collections to assist himself in mis-
sionary work in which he claims to be
engaged among the Esquimaux in
Pcmbiha County, North Dakota. He
gave narrowing descriptions of the
hardships encountered among these
people, who, he claimed, subsistcd on
the flesh of seals, often eating it raw.
They were 400 miles from the nearest
physician and he was about to remove
1000 miles further north. The young
lady was deeply touched by the ear
nestness and sacrificing spirit of the
reverend gentleman. What do the
people of North Dakota think of that?

The House of the Lords has reject
ed a bill passed by the Commons by
which employers were made liable for
accidents occurring to their workmcn.
This is again raising the question of
the existence and continuance of the
House of Lords under the present
basis. The working people and md
die classes are fast coming to the de-
cision that fright Of birth" should be
abolished. 1t looks as If there might
he great revolution in the form of
government of the British empire
one of these days. The colonial de-
pendences are all feeling more and
more independent, the Irish question
is not vet settled, but::'is almost Ger.
tain, to result in "home rule"of some
sort soon. The agricultural depres-
sion Is great and annually growing
worse. AT present, the love of all
these warning factions for the good
Queen personally, does much.to allay
bitterness Of feeling, but bad sue.
cessor would soon cause chaos. Eng.
land has serious political times ahead
of her.

STATE EXAMINERS REPORT.

From Il copy of the annual report of
Hon. kcmper Peabody, State exam
liner, kindly furnished by him, we fluid
that the total income from the school
funds Of the state is now SIG, l24.O 90.
The examiner adds, the State School
Fund is only In its infancy and will in
time provide for the total maintcn-
ancc of our public schools"
The examiner reports that there is
but little floating debt against the
state, and If hard times and low
prices had not delayed the payment
OF taxes that there would have been
no shortage, and he expects that in
future payments of delinquent taxes
will balance up the years accounts all
right.
In assessed valuation of counties
Pcmbina takes fifth place on the roll.
Cass, Grand Forks, Richland, Trail,
leading, and Walsh county (where they
have the Every efficient ofticials')
marked Failed to report"
The examiner remarks that he is
required to make two hundred and
siXty-threc examinations of county
and state Offices, banks, ETC., and that
tits impossible to do the work required
which is self evident, and yet most Of
the examinations required should he
done and done thoroughly.

ADvALoREM AND SPECIFIC


Advalorcm and specific duties are
rather blind terms to some people
and are much used just now, and for
the sake nf these we may explain.
Advalorcm duty means a duty based
upon the value of an article and usu-
ally the value in the foreign country
where produced or grown. A specific
duty means certain sum levied by
the quantity or number.
A 20 per cent. advalorem duty on an
imported horse would be one-ffth of
his purchase price. A specific duty of
$40 would be $50 for each animal no
matter what it cost. Sometimes
there are both kinds of duty on the
same goods, thus on wooden blankets
there is Il specific duty of 50 much Il
pound, and then Il certain rate on
their value in addition, and the higher
the price the greater the rate.
Theoretically, advalorem duties are
the best; practically 1t is found to bc
very nara To get at the true values.
The importers make false invoices
and the government loses large
amounts Of revenue. When the duty
is so much dozen, u pound, Il gallon,
etc., the custom officers can figure from
their own knowledge, but when it
comes to knowing the actual values of
all classes of imported goods in foreign
countries it would take an army OF
experts to find out.
One Of the objections to the Wilson
bill now pending is on account of the
change from specific to advalorcm
duties; us the under valuation is GER
tain to occur will reduce the tariff that
much more, and protection and the
revenue suffer accordingly.

TOWN MEErrNo

When you elect man to public Of
flee you expect him to perform his
duty to the best Of his knowledge and
ability. In our system of govern.
mcnt every voter is charged with the
government of his township. Every
citizen Of the United States by adup-
tion or birth is bound by oath or cur
ditiOn to uphold the government.
On town meeting day every voter Is,
for that day at least, responsible. so
far as his vote lies, for the g,;vcr;.-
ment of the township, the lcvying Of
taxes, etc, for the ensuing year. 1t is
every mans duty,it is every mars
business, to attend town meetings
and participate intclligently III tie
business transacted. Our cxpcriem q
In this township is that the great, 81
interest heretofore shown has L,en
the election at road overscers.
The report of the treasurer the levy
ing ct taxes for the ensuing year are
but matters Of minor interest appar.
emily; and vet, the average taxpayer
don't seem to realize that township
meetings and school district meetings
are the cause of high taxes or low
taxes as the case may be. Go to the
town meeting, listen to the rccom-
mendations Of the supervisors; you
may see the wisdom of paying u
heavy tax for certain purposes, you
may think it unnecessary; vote as
your Judgment dictates then, but
don't wait until you go to the county
treasurer to pay your taxes, before
you kick. Kick, town meeting day. ii
you choose, it is your right, then,
whether in the majority or minority,
thereafter hold your peace. You
have done your duty. Whatever
comes you can stand as well as the
rest can, and also have a clear con-
science.

illustration Of u common character in
American politics. Mr.. McKanc was

even In religious way, of unimpeach-
able character. He was honest, gen.

tlcally, lie was u "hoss'' with all the
political croOkedness the name and
position implies. AS u boss, he ran
prize fights, beer gardens, horse racing
and fakes Of all sorts peculiar to a
sporting suburb Of 9 great city like
New York. Now the question is, can
a man be honest and upright in his
ordinary relations to society, aud vet
be politically DISHONEST?

Tho court Of Cancellation law of
North Dakota will soon be put to a
practical test. At the coming spring
elections four commissioners Of con.
Citation will be chosen for each town,
incorporated village and city, and
when such commissioners have been
elected and haye qualified the machin.
cry Of the new law will be In working
order.
The success Of any law depends In a
large measure upon the ''start." This
is especially true Of Il legal enactment
which leaves, and in the nature OF
things must leave SO much to the dis
crction of these charged with enforc-
Ing IL, us is the case with the law In
hand.
The Skandinavcn. being To some
extent familiar with the courts uf
conciliat;on in Norway. makes bold to
offer the following advice to the people
of North Dakota:
Keep the courts OF Cancellation out
of politics. Remember that the COM
missioncrs ought to bc a strictly nom
partizan board. Nominate the best
men In the community for commits
siohcrs, without the slightest regard
to their partisan affiliations.
Nominate men OF advanced years
and ripe experience If such men can be
found who are willing to serve. Men
with cool heads and warm hearts will
make the best commissioners Of con.
Citation.
Prefer men who have been able to
maintain pleasant relations with their
ncigh'ars. They have demonstrated
that they are pcaccmakcrs, and their
advice will carry weight with both
of the contcnding parties.
Nominate no man who is not a sin.
ccrc friend of the law.
business men and farmers will make
the best commissioners. They repre-
sent the classes Of the people who
suffer most from the delay of Justice
and the costliness of litigation, and
they are equally Interested in securing
a spcedy'and pcuccablc adjustment OF
petty quarrcis.
II these suggestions are needed the
law will be given a good start
