party, and to say further, that he wants
a political upheaval. If Mr.. Tiillman
will put a compress on his bursting
spirit until the people Of these United
States hold another general election,
they will prove to him that his opinion
of Cleveland is general, and also, that
they are IN favor of an upheaval too.
And there will be such an upheaval that
its roar and reverberation will rattle all
of the bottles on the shelves of the

PROF. FosrER's last weather bulletin
gave forecasts Of a storm wave to cross
the continent from March 3Oth to April
Sd, and from April 18th to 9th. The next
will reach the Pacific coast about the 9th,
cross the western mountains by close Of
April 10th, the great central valleys from
April 18th to 18th, and the eastern states
about April 18th. This will be the
seventh and last of the predicted severe
storms to occur from March 7th to April
l4th, but it will not end the dangerous
storms Of 1894 The warm wave will
cross the western mountains about April
9th, the great central valleys about April
18th, and the eastern states about April
18th. The cool wave will cross the vest
ern mountains about April 18th, the

EDITOR SMALLEY of the Northwest
Magazine argues for the use of North
Dakota coal in st. Paul and Mime
apolis, and tells the people there some
things about it as fuel. $ 81 * "One
great merit of Ignite" he says, "is that
it burns without smoke. What a bless
ing it would be if it could be brought
into general use, in steam heating fur
naces and under factory boilers in our
two cities, where we are now deluged
with foul masses of black smoke from
hundreds Of belching chimneys." * i
Further, he argues its merits, from an
economic standpoint, and says: "Illinois
coal is hauled 400 miles by rail to get to
the twin cities. North Dakota Ignite
would have to travel about 500 miles.
Pennsylvania coal has a rail haul of 300
to 400 miles and a lake carriage Of 1000
miles. 4 4 Il The distance of the
Ignite mines should not put a veto on
the movement for burning this coal in
st. Paul and Minneapolis"

REPUBLICAN organization for the fall
campaign has begun throughout the
state. From jamestown, the Young
Mems Republican league send out a cir
cular ''to those who believe in American
markets for American products; who be-
lieve in American made goods for Amer
lean wear; who believe in honesty in off
cial position, national, state, county and
municipal; who believe in education in
all the political patriotic issues of our
country. and that these principles are
embodied in the policy of the republican
party" and they especially invite those
who are Of that belief to be present at
an organization of the Young Mems Re-
publican league at the same place and
one day prior to the republican state
convention. Each county will be en-
titled to three delegates, and each county
league to three delegates for every fifty
members. At Wahpeton, also, a republl-
can club has been organized, and cam
paign enthusiasm has already begun.

THE Fargo Argus to-day has a long ar
ticle On bacillus, and publishes a pen
sketch of something, which it relentlessly
informs the masses is a "pathogenic
bacillus" of the most dangerous type.
There will doubtless be widespread con
sternation when the existence of this
animal in North Dakota becomes gener-
ally known. An ordinary, everyday
bacillus is bad enough, but a "%pathogenic
baclllus"-whew! The greatest of care
should be exercised in all North Dakota
towns from now on. The police forces
should be increased, and every strange
object whose appearance would indicate
that it might be a disguised "pathogenic
bacillus should be taken into custody
without delay.

the city's executive body is such as to
warrant the prediction that city affairs
the coming year will be conducted in q
business like manner, economically, care
fully, and in every way to the best inter
ests of the city. Mayor Leslie makes a
good presiding officer, and his brief adj
dress prior to the commencement of
business last night, was characteristic,
and displayed a proper spirit. He asked
for unity of effort, and earnestness of
purpose, and pledged, resultantly, agood,
clean, business administration. The
council is composed. partly, Of men old
in. experience with the government Of
the city-men who are fitted to aid very
materially in an administration which
shall result to the benefit of the city.

HENRY CLEws weekly financial reviews
says that while the immediate course of
the market probably suggests discrimin-
alton il buying, still the distant future
is Frightening. A more hopeful spirit
pervades business circles, and as soon as
general trade resumes normal activity
railroad earnings must improve. Thus
far net earnings have been sustained only
by the strictest economics, and in this
respect at least the depression has proved
a timely lesson to railroad managers.
The advance in wheat will create a bet
ter feeling in the northwest, because the
damage by the late cold snap was not
serious, and is not likely to cause any
material shortage. The advance in silver
is also calculated to lessen the gloomy
spirits Of the west. When congress set
ties the tariff question business will I'M
doubleday experience a sharp revival,
but this longed-for result is still about
two months distant at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the market will have it's set
backs, but they will not be serious, and
in the long run prices must advance.

ILLINOIS, which deserted from the re-
publican ranks in 1894, has come back
to the fold. Springfield, the capital of
the state, has long been a democratic
stronghold, but on Tuesday only repub-
licans were elected. Peoria has for
years had a democratic majority Of from
1900 to 1900, but the republicans made
a clean sweep in this last election.
Rock Island, Quincy, Hillsboro, Lincoln,
Lawrenceville, Streator, Mount Vernon,
Joliet, Charleston, Marshall, Arcola, AL
ton, Galena, Carthage, Edwardsville,
Watseka, Freeport, and other cities Of
like Importance were won by the demo-
Gratis in 1892, or had long been in the
habit Of recording democratic majorities
but all of them gave republican victories
on Tuesday. The Chicago Inter Ocean
comments that the voters of Illinois are
already disguised with the part the
state took in the election of 1892. They
are Inundated to see that by their care
lessness they allowed a man like John
P. Altgeld to become the governor of
of that state, and they are disguised
with the claim made in Washington that
the people of Illinois are demanding the
repeal o. the Mckinley law and the en-
actment of such a legislative curiosity
as the Wilson bill. Illinois is a republi-
can state to-day, as it was from 1860 to
1892. The majority of the people be-
lieve in the principles Of the republican
party. If the warning of that election is
needed next fall there will be no ques-
ton about a majority of republican con-
gresham from that state, aud a republi-
car legislature to insure the election of a
republican to succeed Senator Cullom.

IT is difficult to tell now where the
Prendergast matter will end. Respited,
first until April 9Th. a second order has
beer entered by Judge Chetlain, fixing
the date for the commencement of his
examination for insanity at May 21st.
This saves the assassin's neck a second
tine, and may perhaps result in his ulti-
mate escape from the penalty fixed for
him The case, al it now stands, is in a
confused and tangled condition, and no
knows what will be the outcome.
And still Prendergast's farcical insanity
is Haunted to the public, and the a
ed little wretch continues to live and
breathe, and hope, and may in the end
escape with a confinement in some
asylum.

pronounced than were the democratic
victories in the great landslide of 1892.

FROM present indications, seeding will
be general throughout the county next
week. Recent SHOWS have melted and
rains have fallen, putting the soil in
good shape. Spring blowing and other
farm work was begun son days ago-and
is still progressing. The warm weather
Of the past few days has dried up the
moisture sufficiently to permit of seeding
in some places. Altogether, the condi-
tions are favorable, and farm work will
be pushed throughout the, county.
From reports received from some of the
farming districts, it is evident that the
acreage Of wheat in the county will be
somewhat smaller than usual. Diversity
will be practiced in many places, and the
acreage given, formerly, wholly to wheat,
will be divided, and oats, corn, potatoes,
and other products will receive a fair
share of attention. Still, the acreage of
wheat will be fairly large, and spring
conditions point to a considerable yield
per acre. Burleigh county farmers start
out upon another year, with as good
prospects as those in any part of the
state, and are the careful, and business
like kind. North Dakota has not suf-
fered the past winter from a depression
in any way equaling that in other parts
of the country, and those residents of
the state whose homes are within the
limits of Burleigh county, have 70 cause
for complaint with local conditions the
past winter. Experience Is always a
potent factor of a fair prosperity, and
farmers have had experience in past
years, have met with reverses and some
disappointments, and are now recover
ing from these, and on the highway to
general prosperity and success.

HE governor has designated Friday,
May 4th, as Arbor day, and it will
doubtless be generally observed through
cut the state, by schools generally, and
by individuals. Everyone who has an
eye to beauty and comfort, and home,
should prepare to observe the occasion,
and should on the day set, plant as many
trees as he can care for. They will re-
quire but a little care, and care is not an
expensive commodity, and will repay a
hundred fold, in after years, the labor
spent upon them. They lend comfort,
in shade, and beauty, in appearance, to
the home, and should be cultivated
about every house and home.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat seems
to think it has discovered a peculiar
custom of the Sioux Indians, which is
worthy of mention. At any rate, it
publishes a brief interview with one
Emanuel French of Bismarck, who is
quoted as follows:
There is a very peculiar custom among
the Sioux Indians. The Indians take
kindly to European cooking utensils and
aids to comfort, and 1t is quite common for
an exploring or picnic party to trade off
kettles, frying pans and the like for skins
or curiosities. A cooking utensil thus
acquired becomes practically the common
property of the whole tribe, on the general
understanding, however, that whoever bOr-
rows it shall pay for it's use by leaving in
it a portion of the food cooked. AS the In
dians seldom waste any time in washing or
cleaning eating or cooking vessels, this
practice has some cOnveniences from a red
mans point of view, and often a saucepan
is returned with quite a large quantity Of
meat or potatoes clinging to the bottom,
and perhaps covering up some of the re-
mains of a preceding and entirely different
preparation.
1t is not long since that an exploring
party l was out with, lost its kettle, which
had evidently jolted out of the wagon on
the bad road. After considerable heSita-
ton, one was borrowed from a friendly
sQuaw, and, after water had been boiled in
it three or four times, and it had been
we'll secured out with sand, it answered its
purpose admirably. When we were
through with the kettle we thoroughly
cleaned it again and returned it, and it
was not until an Indian guide explained
the custom that we understood the look Of
supreme contempt which came over the
red lady's face when, on looking into the
inside of the kettle, She saw that it con-
tanned no relic whatever Of our evening
feast.
Now the TRIBUNE does not wish to
discourage the discovery of any pecu-
liarities of race etiquette or custom,
but it is inclined to think that the leav-
ing Of food in the bottom of one of these
tribe kettles, is rather the result of the
general Discrimination among its users to
the use of soap and water, and that it is
for this reason that the kettle is returned
to its owner with food clinging to it's in
terror. Scrupulous cleanliness or a lean
ing toward the fastidious is not a char
acteristic of the Indian, and the visitor
at any Indian camp might convince him
self of this fact by a casual inspection of
the several tepees. There is a sort of
general negligee of dress, and a blissful
disregard of cleanliness in the prepara-
ton of food, which is very, very impress.
sive to an outsider. The TRIBUNE does
not object to a critical review of the
Sioux nation at the hands of anyone, but
when a newspaper IS s 70 unjust to the
whole tribe, as to misrepresent it's disin-
%clination to cleanliness-one of it's most
distinctive peculiarities, and the one of
which it's members are perhaps the most
proudly designating it a popularity
of Sioux etiquette, it is high time to call
a halt.

The Agricultural Experiment station
at Fargo, has issued Bulletin No. 10, de-
voted to two timely .topics-the first,
selection of seed wheat, and the second,
typhoid fever. In the first, the improve
ment of the wheat crop from a botanical
standpoint is considered, the author ar
guing greater care in the selection of
seed, and claiming a great resultant i'm
provement in the quality and appearance
of the grain. The paper upon typhoid
fever is devoted to causes,a and preventives
in the way of sanitation, sewerage, etc.
Both bulletins are timely and interesting
and their careful study will be attended
with benefit to those who receive them.

not particularly interesting, beyond a
general summary of spring conditions,
as seeding had not begun at the time OF
the reports Of the correspondents. The
next issue, however, will be prepared at

good earnest, and will be interesting to
