ACCORDING to Clew's weekly review
the various reorganization schemes now
in progress will ultimately have an I'm.
portant bearing on the market for the
better. At present their progress is slow
because Of opposing factions and the de.
pressed condition of railroad traffic. But
these are only temporary difficulties,
which will quickly disappear with any
improvement in business. In this con.
nection it will be we'll to keep in mind
the recent unanimous decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
limiting the power of state railroad com
missions and prohibiting them from put.
ting into effect unfair and improbable
rates. This is one of the most import.
ant decisions affecting railroads an
nounced in many years; for some states
have been so severe and arbitrary in their
restrictions that they practically amount.

facts should be rememered by reorgan.
ization committees, for the reason that
they materially affect the earning of pro.
fits by some Of the embarrassed roads

A FEW CENSUS COMPARISONS.

The Compendium of the Eleventh
Census-Part II-whlch is just out, is
not lacking IN interest, Notwithstanding
the almost %bewildering array of figures.
AS wealth, debt and taxation are just
now subjects of universal discussion, the
summaries in this department-com-
parsons between the years 1880 and 1890
are especially interesting and instruc-
tive. It is shown, from special reports
received from the e%ighty-four principal
countries, comprising practically the
whole civilized world, that the debt of
the world-national, state and local
toots up the enormous sum of S28,322,-
757,063. The United States-national,
state and local-equals only S2,027, 170,546
less than one-thirteenth of the worlds
debt. The average per capita debt in
foreign countries, exclusive of local debt,
is s32.96. In the United States the total
per capita debt, including nationals state,
county, municipal and school is $32.37.
The average per capita debt of the states,
not including county, municipal and
school district, in 1890, was 1896. In
1880 it was 1898. The per capita debt
in North Dakota in 1890 was $685., which
is less than in the states of Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri,
Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana.
The county, municipal and school dis
trict debt of North Dakota is compare
lively heavy per capita, for the reason
that the state is but sparsely settled and
the school privileges have been pro-
vided and maintained in a degree su-
perlor to any other state in the Union.
The percentage of i~lliteracy is less in
North Dakota than in any state in the
Union. The county, municipal and
school debt in North Dakota, per capita,
is Sl7.41. In Colorado it is $685.; in
Connecticut, s26.75; Kansas, s27!69;
Maine, $685.; Maryland, $3237; Massa-
chusetts, s333.18; Minnesota, $500; Mon
tana. s2O.82; New Jersey, $33.43; New
York, s333.25; Ohio, s17.41; Rhode Island,
1852; South Dakota, $17.46, Texas,
$500; Wyoming, s21.87. This is an
excellent comparison for North Dakota.
The average per capita municipal tax in
North Dakota is $3.50, the lowest of any
state except Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Iowa, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Dakota, Washington, West Virginia and
Wisconsin.

REFLECT sUPT. PERKINS.

On Tuesday, June 10Th, the people Of
Burleigh county have to choose q coun-
ty superintendent Of schools for the en-
suing year. The present superintendent,
w. T. Perkins, is a candidate for re.
election, and he should receive the en-
dorsement of the voters of the county.
He has had an experience in the Office,
which renders him exceptionally we'll
fitted to look after the educational in
terests of those who have children in at
tendance at the various schools. In his
term OF office, things have been har-
moniously conducted, and schools have
been brought to a degree of excellence
which speaks we'll for their management.
The methods employed under his direc-
ton have been progressive, and his
duties have been performed with an eye
to the best interests of the residents of
Burleigh county. As usual, the same
mode of campaign has been waged
against him, and the same tissue of mis-
representations has been set forth against
him. But the voters of Burleigh county
are too intelligent to be misled by such
tactics as these. And every one of these
voters should not fail to cast his ballot
on Tuesday next for the continuance of
Superintendent Perkins term of Office,
and thus condemn the malicious attacks
upon him. The sons and daughters of
Burleigh county's residents have been
aided in school matters, wherever such
aid was consistent with the greatest
good OF the schools. Superintendent
Perkins is we'll known throughout the
county, is an efficient and painstaking
official, has the confidence and respect
OF the voters of the county, and should
be reelected at next Tuesdays election.

IT is said Of Governor Pennoyer, that
he has not been so idiotic in his actions
as Waite of Colorado, or Llewellying Of
Kansas. Governor Pennoyer should
not be thus made the object Of SANDER.
Idlocy should be measured not by extent
alone, but by the extent governed by
ability. Governor Pennoyer is deserv-
ing to be classed in the same list with
the other two. He has been just as
idlotio as he knew how.

Ibis country has seen a wonderful
change since the year 1892. 1t has seen
a change in national government, and a
change in the governments of several
states. In the halls of congress-, and
of the senate, democracy and popullsm
in the majority, the parties, with whose
advent to power was promised prosperity
unexampled, social and industrial con-
ditions unprecedented, and a bounteaus
return for labor in all sections of the
country. So necessary was either demo-
cratic or populist success to the further
ance OF national prosperity, that the two
parties fused to accomplish it. Grievous.
tales of wrong and oppression were
poured into the ears of the workingman
He was told that the industrial BODY
was ulcered with fostering sores of econ
omic abuse, and that he must apply
democratic and populistic salve, did he
desire to cleanse it. The workingmen
listened. The platforms of the two
parties promisedh him impossibilities, but
he did not stop to consider carefully.
He was told that in the glorious read
justment, he would be provided for.
He would, in every case, get something
more than be had. The REIMBURSEMENT
has come, and with it a startling ,chanee
III conditions. Where, two years 20,
were contented communities of busy
laborers, whose wages and conditions
were better than ever in the history of
any nation, all is now turbulent con-
fusion and strife. Workingmen, in bit.
ter contrast to the positions they held
then, are unemployed, and in many cases
reduced to a condition of destitutlon
and want. The reform has come, and
the whole nation feels it's effect. In
stead of increased wages, it has brought
reduction, and reductions have led to
strikes and bloodshed.s Democracy
cries out that republican rule is Eat fault
but surely the republicans have been
from power sufficiently long to purge the
economic system of their influences, and
long enough to have afforded the oppor-
tunity for that glorious reform, for
which the democrats have so long pray
ed. And populism lifts up it's hands to
heaven, and absolves itself from the con-
dition it has helped to bring about.

DUO Up a TREASURE CHEsT.-A dis
patch from st. Augustine, Fla, says !:
A foreign-rigged vessel was sighted off
this coast about sunset on Sunday night
last, and twice since then she has come
into the harbor and some of her crew
have come ashore for few minutes.
They were Spaniards apparently, bu
they spoke to nobody. Tuesday morn
ing, just about daybreak, ten of them
came ashore with picks, shovels, and
crowbars and dug up a chest supposed
to be filed with treasure on the old
Christoval property, bounded by Hos
pital, Charlotte, Bravo, and Bridge
streets. Mrs. Reddick, who lives on
the premises, not knowing what the
men were doing, appeared with shot
gun and drove them of, but not until
they had loaded the box requiring sew
eral men to carry it to vehicle. No
trace of the men, who were und .r an
aged gray. bearded leader, can be found.
Nothing but the hole, some old pot
terry, an iron hook, and one silver coin
was left by them. The vessel left for
the South without communicating with
any one 1t is supposed to have car
ried the party to San Domingo, as the
heirs of the original owner of the prop.
erty, Davine, live there. A magnolia
tree planted by the mother of Mrs.
Gen. Blake seventy years ago, was
taken for the bearings to the spot OF
the buried treasure. All their meas
urements before they began digging
were taken from this tree.

sMoTHERED BY A CAT.

Six-months- Sadie Kranz, of No.
II Clinton street, New York, was suffo-
Gated early Wednesday morning by a
pet cat, which slept on her face during
the night. When Mrs. Rosa KranZ. the
child's mother, went to the crib imme-
diately after rising Wednesday morn
ing, she found her dead and the cat
sleeping across her face.
The Kranz family live on the ground
floor of No. IL, Jacob Kranz being the
janitor of the house, which is large
tenement. He had two children, both
girls. Sadie was six months and nine
davs old. Her sister will be two years
oil December rs.
Both of the children were very fond
of the cat, which Mr.. Kranz had found
in the yard of the house. Little Sadie
very often had it placed in her lap and
would pat it and stroke its fur. The
father always kept a sharp lookout for
the cat, snd whenever it jumped into
the child's bed while the infant was
asleep, as it often did, he Immediately
drove it away.
The Kranzes allowed Sadie to sleep
in her carriage during the night. On
Tuesday night Mr.. Kranz placed the
child in the carriage about ten o'clock.
He and she played awhile with the cat,
which had sprung into the little ones
bed. At about quarter past ten O'Clock
Mr.. Kranz took the cat out of the car
riage and went to bed. The cat follow
ed him and, jumping on his bed, went
to sleep. Mr.. kranz allowed it to stay
there. He was awakened by the cries
of bis wife, who had gone to the child's
carriage as soon as she had arisen.
Kranz ran hurriedly to the carriage
anG saw the cat lying across the little
ones face, asleep. He threw the cat
on the floor and felt for the beating of
the child's heart. There was no throb-
bing. She was still warm, however,
and without stopping to dress himself
he ran next door to the house of DR.. Lef-
kowics. DR.. Lefkowics arrived at the
side of the girl about six minutes after
ward, but he said she had been dead
for more than an hour.
Some of the neighbors suggested to
Mr.. Kranz that he take revenge on the
cat by hanging it or by torturing it.
This he refused to do, but killed the cat
bv shooting it.-N Y. Herald
