Even a democratic house OF represen-
tatiyes refused to pass the bill restoring
wildcat banks, though tho democratic
platform made the demand The repub-
licars voted solldly against the bill; a
majority OF democrats, mostly from the
south, voted in favor Of the measure, but
there We're enough northern democrats
who voted with the republicans against
the democratic state bank idea TO defeat
the measure. Even the populst delega-
ton had sense enough to vote against

S,ssetOn Indian Payment

Yesterday Agent Kellar at Slsseton re-
ceived word from Washington to proceed
at once To arrange for the payment OF
$4,000 to members of the Slsseton and
Wahpeton band OF Indians, which pay
ment was to be made Immediately, or as
soon as the pay roll was completed and
forwarded to Washington for approval
Agent Kellar viii put an extra force OF
clerks on the roll work. and hasten mat
ters as fast as possible, so it is likely that
not more than two or three weeks Will
elapse before the approved roll will be
returned and the payment begin. The
amount to each person including men
women and children, will be about $40
which is indeed good sized payment
although only about half of what Il
actually due the Sissetons at present
The Indians are Justly jubilant over tht
news. and likewise their creditors.

Senator Kyle has satisfactorily ex-
planned that MIR. Buttz Of Buttzyille did
not bribe him, but he will have sweet
task explaining to his constituents why
he voted to place direct tax upon every
pound ct sugar they use for the sole and
only benefit OF the great sugar trust.
Buttz OF Buttzville is said to be penni-
less adventurer, who couldn't raise a
thousand dollars il it was to save him
from the penitentiary, while the trust
Tor whose benefit Senator Kyle cast his
vote commands millions and whose fine
work Is just at this time under ia 5estiga-

vote proves him the subselyient tool OF
the greatest and most unscrupulous
trust or the continent Of America.

Senator Hoar in speech on the tariff
bill this week characterizes it as a bill Of
arlstocrats and populists favorinr the
south and the great trusts. He says:
"The power which is to pass this bill
is coalition between the aristocrat and
the popul.st; between the spirit of the
old slave master and the spirit which
would make War OH property, on fru-
galily, on honest liberty, on honest.
moderate earnings The alliance is be.
tween the spirit ot sectionalism of the
South, and that spirit at the North
winch never has known the impulse OF
true nationality. 1t protects by enor-
nous duties, upon which it piles enor-
nous houn'ies, the industry Of the South
and the lllgotten gains Of the trusts. lis
warfare is upon the savings banks, upon
the lite insurance, upon the yeonlan. up.
on the farm and upon the workman in
the mill.
This is not the first time that the re-.
publican party has had to fight for north
'ern interests against the same combina.
ton of southern statesmen and northern
coppcrheads.

As number Of these weeds have been
found in the county, mostly growing
along the railroad right OF way, and as
the necessity for prompt action is i'm
perative before the weeds become ser
ious menace, we copy from u bullitin is
sued by the agricultural department a
number OF extacts concerning the pest
and how best to eradicate It, The
remidies suggested by the bulliun and
the necessity for vlgilant and active
work suppressing the nuisance before it
gets we'll seeded are as fellows:
The plant is an annual easily killed at
any time during the growing season; 1t
produces no seed before the middle OF
August or 1st of September, and the seed
is short lived. 1t therefore offers excep-
tionally favorable opportunities Tor be-
ing checked or even exterminated For
any effective measurers, however, the
two following principles must be rigid
ly adhered to
l. No Russian thistle should be al
lowed to produce seed.
?. There must be concerted action
throughout all the infested area. II the
Russian tlistle wherever found, should
be Killed before they produce seed, dur
ing three successive years, the pest
would in ali probability be completely
eNterminated. If the plants are destroy
ed over local areas, even throughout
tow nships, counties,o or entire States. and
allowed to grow beyond the boundary
lines, comparatively little advantage
will be gained, for the rolling tumble
weeds will soon reseed the area cleared
As consequence OF the lack of con
certed action over large areas, no rene
| dies have been found thoroughly effect
ual. Farmers who have tried to keep
the weed from growing on their lands
| have SO Tar succeeded in some instances
that their crops have beer little injured
but it has cost great deal in labor, and
| they have been compelled to fight it
every year because of seed blown IN
from adjacent areas. The farmer who
has not attempted TO drive the weed
from his farm has sustained immense
| damage to his crops, and IN some cases
!, , has been driven from the farm itself
The weed law Of the state makes it the
duty of the oyerseer Of highways to at
tend to this matter. The law reads:
Every oyerseer OF highways Of eyery
township or county shall also at the
same time and in like manner DESTROY all
such noxious weeds, either on the high
ways OF his road district or on any nm
occupied land therein, upon which The
| owner or lessee thereof shall neglect or
refuse SO 10 DO, anu for which services
such overseer of highways shall receive
! as compensation sum to be fixed bv
the board Of county commissioners to be
paid out OF the general county fund.
Provided, however, That the compensa-
| ton for the said services shall moi he
less than two dollars per day.
