reorganization by the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, on basis that may
be Of great and unexpected advantage to
the people and result in lowering OF
rates. At present the fixed interest and
other charges made upon stock, much of
which is of fictitious value, and largely
in excess OF the real cost of the road or
the expense of management demands
high rates of freight and passenger
traffic. These rates are too high, and
the company we'll understands the fact,
but have been unable to reduce them
and pay the interest charges and other
expenses. With a reorganization of the
company, however, which looks to the
discharge of the main line receivers, a
large part Of the common stock, owned
is said, in Europe, may be practically
omitted in the payment of dividends.
This may allow of a reduction in rates of
freight and travel.
The road is officially bankrupt and
in the hands of the courts The best
interests of the con pany are the best
interests of the people living along the
road, and on this the courts may decide
to bring about certain radical chalges

individuals are getting dividends on
twice or three times the real cost Of their
railroad investment.
In line with the promised reorganiZa-
tion OF the Northern Pacific, dispatch
from Milwaukee yesterday states:
The twenty-four receivers of the
Northern Pacific branch lines. appointed
simultaneously by Judge jenkins and
the courts in Minnesota, have been re-
tired under the arrangement between
the receivers. reorganization committee
and the Farmers Loan and Trust CON-
pany Of New York. by which the trust
company will operate the lines for a
limited sum per annum. BY this
arrangement over $4,000 per annum
will be saved. The receivers were ap-
pointed last October, Henry Stanton
and Alexander Mckenzie being ap-
pointed receivers for most Of
the branches. By the new arrangement
none OF the leases are to extend beyond
the life of the main line recelvership.
Counsel are now on their way west to
consummate the deal. Negotiations
have also been concluded by which the
Spokane & Palouse road and the North
ern Pacific and Puget Sound Shore road
have been leased to the main line re-
ceivers. the former at reduced interest
charges OF S4l.49O. the first eighteen
months, and S2O.745 the second eighteen
months. The Puget Sound Shore road
laase calls for reduced interest charges
OF s41.49O the first eighteen months and
s20.745 the second eighteen months.
The new arrangement marks great
step toward the effective reorganization
of the Northern Pacific railroad.

About Business.

Let no one be deceived in regard to the
business outlook, says an exchange The
subsidized press is being filled with
prophecies Of better times in the near
future. Similar prophecies we're made
IN regard to the effects of the repeal of
the Sherman bill, which every one knows
proved absolutely false. Every mill that
starts up will be thoroughly advertised
and an effort will be made to blind The
people as TO the real situation. We are
told that many mills and factories shut
down on purpose to begin again with the
flourish of trumpets after the passage of
the tariff bill simply for political effect.
BE that as IL may, there are no 1ndlca-
tlons anywhere on the business horizon
promising better times for the producer.
Instead of this there are numerous IN
talllble signs which point directly to
harder times and more distress Tor the
people. We believe that present condi-
tlons will become infinitely worse during
Inc coming year, and unless prompt
Legislation lntervenes, will result in gen
eral bankruptcy.
Wheat is being fed to hogs in nearly
every state in the Union. AS com
panlon piece to this there are 100000
tramps all roaming throughout the
country, aud the cry of hunger is heard
from nearly every section of the land.
Let no one be foolish enough to think
that the dark clouds are lifting, but
rather to listen to reason and know that
they are growing more threatening.
The passage Of the tariff bill may give
a little more work to men and women at
starvation prices, but what does that
signify? Who will buy the product?
Will 40 cent wheat and cent wool drain
the mills and factories of their goods:
we all know better than that: we all
know that nothing save more money will
change present conditions and bring
better times. This tariff may for the
time bring about tritlipg increase of
barter between this and few other
nations. but that will cut no figure; 1t
will pay neither mortgage nor store
account More money will do it, and
nothing else. Yet our lawmakers
steadily ignore this fact and continue to
make laws for the trusts and let the peo-
Ule suffer

FEES JUSTLY DUE.

Barrett.stutsman County Suit De-
ci1ed IN Favor of Plaintln.
Judge Rose rendered a decision Tues
day in the suit brought by NJ. j. Barrett,
justice of the peace, against the county
ofStutsman, for the recovery OF certain
fees properly accruing to him by virtue
of his office. The case has been pending
for months past and was to come up for
trial IN the district court in July, but as
it was similar in it's essential features to
suit between the same parties then
pending in the supreme court OF the
state, was postponed awaiting that de-
cision. This has been rendered in favor
of the plaintiff, but this later case did
not secure hearing until recently and
was decided this week. The total
amount sued for Is $2O.15 and the costs
accruing have more thandoubled thesum.
The suit was brought IN the court OF
Justice Eager, Attornev Marcy appear
ing for the plaintiff and States Attorney
Giaspell for the county. The fret sum-
mons in this case was issued March q.
'94, and served March %. On March q
Attorney Marcy asked Justice Eager to
dismiss the case, which was done, notice
thereof given the defendant and new
summons issued, returnable April 2, '94,
on which last mentioned day the plaintiff
appeared and fled his sworn complaint,
claiming OF the defendant the sum OF
$2015, With interest thereon at the cate
of per cent. from January 2, '94. This
complaint is not denied by the defend
ant and stands admitted in court.
States Attorney Glaspell moved to
set aside the summons and dismiss the
action, which motion was denied. He
then moved for change OF venue to
Justice Blgelow, which was allowed.
Notice Of the change Of venue was given
by Justice Bigelow to the plaintiff and
the case tried April 6. On that day the
plaintiff appeared in person. and by his
attorney, Mr.. Marcy, and defendant
especially appeared by S. l.. Glaspell,
who moved to dismiss the case because
he claimed the court was without juris
diction. This motion was sustained,
and the justice adjudged the costs,
amounting to Sl735. against the PLAIN
tiff. On the same day the plaintiff ap-
pealed. The justice the next day
sent the papers in the case to the dis.
trict court, the appeal being from the
whole Judgment and upon the case, and
tho facts in the case.
MY conclusion, "says udgs Rose IN his
decision, lis that the defendant is justly
indebted to the plaintiff in the sum Of
s2o.l5 for services performed by plaintiff
az justice OF the peace for defendant and
Judgment Is therefore ordered in favor OF
plaintiff and against defendant Tor the
