The Railroad Record, a Philadelphia
publication, gives North Dakota weather
a pleasant boom, in it's last issue. "The
past two days IN North Dakota" it says,
shave been torrid in heat, as both Their
.nometer and individuals can testify.
But however hot the days, the nights are
cool and refreshing. In New York city
both days and nights are steaming hot
and no cool spot can be found. Fifty
persons are reported to have died from
sunstroke in that single city last week.
No n dies from the heat in North
Dakota. The sun there Is the great reno
vator and life restorer instead, and the
sun and wind together the great twin
fructifying agencies, that feed the vast
plains of vegetation with the ever-mov-
ing, vitalizing, superintendent oxygen
that brings forth such wonderful cereal,
grass and vegetable results; and what is
good for the perfect growth, the vigor
and success of the plant breathing tribe
must be good for man and beast, oxygen
breathers too"

JULES VERNE has not yet made q book
out Of the perils and fomances of forest
fires, and it will be surprising if, when
the veteran storytellerj hears Of the
sylvan tragedies of flame and smoke in
Minnesota, he does not take up his pen
and embalm them in the dramatic a
ration for which he is 90 famous.
What could be more striking and
tragical than the fate of these villagers,
swept down by scores by the sheets OF
fire which came from the woods at a
long distance from their ] dwellings?
What 20 terrible than the tale of
trains, overtaken and consumed, with
their human freight, by the roaring,
merciless monster? The people Of the
northwest, in their grapple with nature
seem to have more desperate experiences
than the settlers Of any other section.

in the law seems to be the provision for
payment of damages by warrant upon
the drainage fund. This, under the hold
ing of the court, does not constitute
such payment az is required by the con-
stitution, being IN the nature OF a secur-
ity for payment, where the constitution
does not allow the a%dmissabllity of such
security, but demands payment, pure and
simple. The cause OF this error is plain,
the law having been copied literally
from the Michigan statute, but the
Michigan constitution says payment Of
damages where priv to property is taken
for public use may be either paid or
secured, and our constitution does not
contain this latter provision. This being
the case, and payment being not consti-
t%utional, as provided by the act, the
right OF eminent domain cannot be exer-
cised, and this leaves the law inopera-
tive, as no drains could be constructed
unless every property holder should
voluntarily %relinquish objectious and
damages.

BISMARCK EEKLY TRIBUNh: FRIDAY SEPT. II 1894
democrats in all parts Of the country, as

democrats in all parts of the country, as
follows:
A law which even those who made it
apologize for.
A law which the chairman of the ways
and means and almost the entire Demo-
cratic side of the House condemned by a yea
and nay vote only a few days before its
passage, affirming their intention in the
most solemn manner not to permit it to be
enacted
A law when all factions of the Demo-
craclc party are agreed is the work of a
monstr0us trust, which Chairman Wilson
confessed in the House, amid the applause
of his confederates, with deep chagrin,
held Congress by the throat"
A law OF which the House of Represen-
| tatives was so thoroughly ashamed that it
had no sooner passed it then IL made hot
haste to seek its Immediate amendment by
passing supplementary bills which put their
fairfield sugar, coal, lead, iron, and barbed
| wire on the free list, under threats of still
further similar assaults on the much dis.
turbed and distressed industries of the
country, utterly needless of the stupendous
ruin already wrought.
Il law which the President condemned
before its passage, and from which, when
passed, he withheld his approval.
A law which was characterized before its
passage by the greatest champion in the
Democratic party, the senior Senator from
New York, as violation of Democratic
pledges and principles" and which was
denounced by the official head of the gov
eminent as such an act of 'party perfdy
and party dishonor'' that if the House
should at least concur in it ''they would
lot dare to look the people of the country
in the face" and which the Executive still
condemns since their surrender as the
''very communism of pelf."
1t is probable that never before in the
history of politics, has so scathing a de-
nunciation of the actions of a pol
itical party been formulated from
the very opinions of members of that
party. And the fact that Maine return
ed a larger republican majority than ever
before in the history of the state, proves
that the people have begun to think,
and that theyare thinking deeply of the
events Of the two years last past.

EDITORIAL ECHOES.

Nelson County Observer: What tariff
reform has done: Low priced wines and
diamond, paintings and statuary, for the
rich; high priced sugar for the poor;
American ports open to foreign grown
wheat; foreign ports close{to American
flour. This is tariff reform gone to seed.
Glendale Commercial: Mrs. Laura
j. Elsenhuth's husband was here from
Thursday to Saturday, attending the
teachers institute. Mrs. Eisenhuth is to
be congratulated upon the possession of a
husband to whom she can entrust her
political interests upon an occasion OF
this kind.
Devils Lake Inter Ocean: Under the
sugar trust tariff which is now in force,
the people Of North Dakota must use
one-fourth less of sweets or pay IS per
cent. Q for the same amount they are
now using. Sugar has advanced ~
cents per pound in two weeks, and will
reach 2 cents advance in a few days.
Twenty-Five pounds of sugar for a dollar
under Harrison; sixteen pounds under
Cleveland. The fellow who has been
obliged to eat his campaign rooster is
now sucking his thumb.
Fargo Forum: To defeat Mckinley
for congress, in Ohio, the democrats sent
wagon-loads of tinware through the
country-the workers pretending to be
peddlers. Showing their goods and ask
ing the women folks double price for
pans, dippers, cups and other tin things,
they imbued the housewife with the idea
that Mckinley had raised the tariff to
rob them. It was a slick and successful
scheme. Is there not some way to work
the people on the sugar bonus-showing
that the democrats give it all to the
trust and nothing goes to the govern
ment?

JAPAN publishes, periodically, a sort
of hand book, containing statistics as to
the population, wealth, trade, ETC., of
the empire, something after the fashion
of our " censu reports. The last one

tend to correct the underestimate of

statistics Of emigration show that the

any other nation buys, our bills in good
years amounting to something like $4O,-

OF her import trade, q condition which
may be changed as time goes on.

VERMONT elected state officers and
congressman Tuesday. Two years ago
the republican plurality was 1900.
This does not look as if the democratic
tariff bill was greeted with much enthus.
iasm. There was no reason to expect it
would be-. The duties on agricultural
products have been lowered, and while
the Canadian farmers are pleased those
OF Vermont are not. They see their i'm
mediated competitors admitted to
American markets without an equivalent
being asked of them. The people of
Vermont have noticed also a remarkable
shrinkage in prices during the last
eighteen months. They have received
less for the products of their farms and
their numerous factories and they are
satisfied that that shrlnkage is due to
democratic government. Believing this,
it is easy to understand why the demo-
cratic vote fell off and that of the re-
publicans increased. There have been
conversions even among the incorrigible
democrats of the Green Mountain state.
The populists asserted before election
that they would gain heavily. They un.
derstimated the Intelligence and the
honesty of the people. The Vermonters
do not think rotten money a cure for
"tarif REFORM evils, and the populist
candidates got very few votes.

The publishers of the Chicago Daily
Bulletin sent out queries to farmers in
various parts of the east the other day,
as to the feeding of wheat to stock, and
the answers received show that this year
it has become much more extensive than
ever before. New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Texas farmers report afirmatively, and
say the practice is gainingi in favor.

CLEWs takes a conservative view of
the business situation. The general oft
look, he says, is interpreted as favoring a
continuance Of the present symptoms of
recovery. Everywhere, there is a scar
city of goods; and the current unpre.
cedentedly low scale of PRICES encourages
buying. After twelve months coptrac-
ton of purchases, alike by traders and
consumers, a considerable replenishment
of supplies seems inevitable. The buy
ing may be conservative and consump-
ton may possibly run largely upon the
lower grades of goods; but, in any case,
the machinery of business has now re-
ceived a new impetus, and there is no
reason why it should not steadily recover
it's accustomed movement. 1t may be
that the recovery in the industries-or
in some of them-will somewhat lag be-
hind the movement in commercial opera
tons; for there IS reason to fear that
manufacturers are c%ontending against
the difficulty OF an excess of plant, and
for that reason they may find ground for
complaint until their capacity for pro-
duction becomes better adjusted to the
demand for products. To reach that ad-
justment, there must be on the one side
an increase in the buying ability of con-
sumers, and, on the other, the permanent
disuse of plant which has failed to keep
pace with the march of economy in pro-
duction. For these and other reasons,
we may not be warranted in expecting
any immediate "boom'' in trade; but we
may l%egitimately anticipate the whole
some process of recovery that comes
from a revision Of the conditions Of pro.
duction and distribution. Such a revis.
ion, is calculated to encourage confidence
in Investments; and, if it fails to induce
expansion in industrial OUTLAWS, it to the
same extent encourages investments in
already existing securities.

In the recent discussion of free wool
in the senate, n argument, or rather
example, which serves to show clearly
the fallacy OF the free wool theory, vas
advanced by a senator, who was inter-
ested in the protection of wool, and who
gave the following:
A college professor recently said:
The prospect of free wool has reduced
the price of wool, and now l will get
cheaper clothing. The free wool policy OF
Grover Cleveland suits me.
Just then his mail came with three
letters from residents Of as many differ
emit states, each saying in substance:
l had made arrangements to send one of
my sons and one Of my daughters to COL
lege in which you are a professor, but ow-
ing to the low price of wool l will not be
able to do so. Ii free wool comes, the price
will not pay me for the labor of producing
wool. My lands are not adapted to any
thing but the production of wool and NUT
ton, and with free wool they will be of sub
stantially no value. Thus will render it
impossible for me even in the future to
hope to be able to %patronize your college.
The professor, on reflection, said:
This free wool will considerably reduce
the number of our students. l see that my
salary will be reduced for two reasons: l,
The reduction in the number of students
will render it necessary, and 2, under a
tariff for revenue only all prices for labor
and other services will go down, and my
salary with them. And, besides, the re-
sources of others, in addition to wool grow
ers, will be reduced, and with!that fewer
students will come to us. The free wool
and low tariff party is no longer my party
it must be defeated. Scabies occupet ex-
tremum. Free wool will soon bring free
trade, and this is ruin to our college.
In free wool l can 10Y see, in the Ian
guage of Shakespeare,
shipwreckins storms and direful thunders break.
The poet truly has said:
God never made an independent man;
'Twould jar the concord of his general plan.
The inquiry now comes home to me:
"What shall it profit a college professor if
he gains the low prices Of the whole world,
yet loses his own salary"
"Thus endeth the first lesson"

The Ohio Wool Growers association,
at its annual convention this week, de-
clared that free wool is an Infamous
and odious discrimination and conspir-
Bcy against all our agricultural indus
tries" and the New Orleans sugar plant
ers have declared for an alliance with
the republican party on national issues.
Maine and Vermont have also been
heard from.

SPECIAL AGENT A. J. WEDDERBURN of
the department of agriculture has been
making some Investigations of food and
drug adulterants, and suggests the
enactment of Il federal statute to the
suppression of the wholesale adultera-
ton which is being practiced, and unless
his estimate of the extent to which
adulteration 10 carried on is exaggerated,
there is need Of stringent measures.
''That almost every article of food and
drug used in our country is adulterated,"
he says, lis proved most conclusively by
a vast amount of information gathered
by the department. The general char
acter OF food authorizations is principally
commercial fraud, and the extent of
criminal or poisonous adulteration in
food is so limited as to amount to but
a bagatelle in the immense sum of prod
ucts consumed. A large proportion of
poisonous authorizations arises from care
lessness and Ignorance. But ignorance
is no excuse for the wholesale destruc-
ton of life by the addition of poisonous
pigments to many articles of food, and
especially the confectionery, cream, and
like articles. Whether the intent be
criminal and vicious or simply fraudu-
lent the result is the same. and the
people Will continue to suffer until the
strong hand of federal law steps in to
supplement and support the action of
the states. The extent of adulteration
is fully Is per cent, of which 2 per cent.
is of IL character injurious to health. But
to furnish 100000 people with food,
drink and drugs costs not less than &c.
760,000,00O, and it is found that the
amount of adulteration reaches the i'm
mense sum of s1,Ol4, 100000 annually.
As at least 2 per cent. of the whole is
deleterious to health, $136, 100000 con
stitutes the annual amount paid by the
American people for sacrifice of their
lives or injury to their health"
