earnings for the strike period, show the
losses to have been heavier than at first
reported. For the month of July, up to
the Doth, the report Of gross earnings of

pared with last year. Forty-eight roads

SELDOM, if ever, has there existed
such a condition of affairs among the
leaders of any of the national parties as
is to be found in democracy to-day. The
gauntlet which was thrown down by
President Cleveland in his message to
congress, through Chairman Wilson of
the committee on ways and means, has
been picked up by the democratic lead
ers in the senate, and some party secrets
exposed, which mean, either that the
democratic senators are guilty of gross
falsehood, or the president of the
greatest measure of duplicity and double
dealing. In the senate, MI. German,
with impassioned earnestness and bitter
language, has made revelations which
were not to have been expected at other
than an impeachment proceeding. The
message to Congressman W. l.. Wilson
was characterized as "the most uncalled
for, the most unwise, the most extraordi-
nary communication that ever came
from a president of the United States"
Senator German stated that the president
and Secretary Carlisle had been all along
consulted BIS to the senate measure.
They had approved Of every feature, as
"the best bill they could secure under
circumstances" There is no doubt, from
the evidence of senator's, that before the
bill passed the senate, it had the ap-
proval of the president. Senator Jones
states that the president told him he
would do all in his power to help pass
the bill through congress. It will hard
ly do to cay that Senator Jones lies,
and he makes a fat-footed statement.
Senators Vest and Villas corroborated in
main the statements of Senators Cor
man and Jones. And the whole pro-
ceeding gives a slngularly bad signif-
canoe, either to the president, or to the
democratic leaders in. the senate, which.
ever way the statements OF the senator
ial leaders are taken. If the facts are q 8
stated, President Cleveland's action in
agreeing to support the bill and then
scoring it numerically in the house, is
not understandable, and is one Of the
most peculiar feats in the great tariff

HE nomination Of Frank A. Briggs of
Morton, was another deserved recogni.
ton OF the worth and merit Of west Mis-.
souri, republicanism. Mr.. Briggs has
been county treasurer of Morton county
for years, and there is no more efficient
official, or more popular man with the
people OF bis county, and of any county
where he is acquainted. He is a sterling
republican, a clever gentleman, and one
who will do credit to the authorship Of
state.

In another column to-day, the TRIBUNE
publishes brief extracts from the com
ments" of state papers upon the ticket
nominated by the republicans at Grand
Forks. It will be seen that there is a
unanimity of sentiment in it's favor
which speaks we'll for republican sue
cess. The ticket is admitted by all to
be composed of good, clean men, nomin-
ated because Of personal worth and
merit, and not by any ring or influence
of the kind. The republican papers
look upon it with favor, and all agree
that it is as strong a ticket as could be
put forth, and eve the populist and in
dependent papers are forced to admit
that its worth and strength behoove the
populists to get an exceptional hustle on
themselves. The republicans go before
the people of the state this fall with a
state ticket, whose election would do
credit to any state in the union. It is
not a ticket composed of the authors of
visionary and impossible schemes to
catch the votes of people who long
for such legislation as will thrust pros
perity and wealth upon them, without
effort upon the part of the would-be re-
cipients. 1t is a ticket composed of
level-headed, sound-principled men of
business and experience, who stand upon
the platform of a party which has
wrought order from chaos, and whose
temporary retirement has plunged order
into chaos. The people of the state of
North Dakota do not want the free wool
of the democrats and populists, nor their
free barley or free wheat, or free garden
and agricultural produce. Neither do
they want to be recompensed with
cheaper gutta -percha, cheaper turtles
and cheaper ostrich feathers for an addi-
tional tax on sugar-a direct levy upon
the dinner table of every farmer in the
land. Nor do they want such a combin-
alton Of impossible and ilmpracticable
legislation as shall drive industry from
the nation, still factory furnaces, and
add thousands to the list of the unem-
ployed. Where the several portions of
a nation are dependent, each upon the
other, there can be no local prosperity
without general prosperity, and the lat
ter is assured only by sound legislation.
The voters of North Dakota have in the
republican ticket one which is represent
alive, business-like, and sound in men
and principles. And the voters of North
Dakota will support a ticket which is
chosen from the ranks of the people, and
whose election means a step in the di-
rection of a return to the national pros
perity which has been driven off by the
weakened and impracticable combina-
ton legislation of the popullsts and the
democrats.

In another column to-day appears the
giet Of the statement of General Stan
dish as to his remarks IN Mandan,
relative to the arrest of the Mandan
mob, who had held up United States
marshals, and threatened to hang a
"ecab" engineer. The general takes the
stand that he has been maligned by the
republican press, and for his benefit the
TRIBUNE has just this to say: General
Standish is an officer of the law, as attor-
ney general of the state of North Dakota,
and the simple fact that a trial for viola
ton of law occurs in a United States
court, does not justify him in his eager
desire to defend the offenders. We're he
convinced that the trial was a persecu-
ton, then would he be commended for
his efforts in behalf of the defendants.
But it is a matter of very serious doubt
whether, at the time Mr.. Standish prof
fered his assistance to the members of
the mob who did the holding up, the
general was aware of the circumstances
which led to their arrest. It is a matter
Of fact that the mob did hold up mar
shals and threaten to hang a ''scab," if
found, and it has not been denied, either
by General Standish, or by any one CON
cerned. And this being the case, the
TRIBUNE holds that it is not in the inter-
ests of law and order, for the attorney
general of the state of North Dakota to
Indicate to tie members of this mob, that
he is in sympathy with them, and stands
ready to assist them to escape the conse.
quences Of their act. Such q stand leads
to a belief on the part of those concerned
that they we're right in their actions, and
that they have the support of officials in
the matter. General Standish may argue
that his offer was made not as the attor-
ney general of the state, but in his per-
sonal capacity. But aver so, General
Standish cannot successfully ALLEVIATE
his personality from his official position
in the minds of those whom he addressed.
The TRIBUNE never rushes to violent
criticism, or to hasty condemnations, be-
u OF partisan or personal differences.
But it says now, as it has said before,
that the action of General Standish in
flying to the defense of men who have
been accused of crime, without having
considered the question of guilt or inno-
cence, is not in the best interests of law
and order, and looks much more like a
play for votes than the action of an Off
cial, who is ~endeavoring to perform his
sworn duty.

The principal reason that pops and

June 8, 1893. and at his trial before the
circuit court OF Weakley county, June
q, 1893, he was fined $40 and costs,
amounting in all to $3.50. His case was
appealed to the supreme court of Ten

does not deny working on Sunday, but
did SO because he had rested the day be-
fore, according to the Bible; because he
recognized his God-given right to labor
six days in the week, beginning on the
first as did his creator; and because, in
acceding to the demands of the state to
rest on Sunday, he would be denying his
Lord. Hence, he refuses to pay the fine
and costs, regarding them unjust, since
the state is attempting to enforce upon
him q dogma of religion, with which it
can Of right have nothing whatever to do.
Therefore he has gone to Jail, though a

The svstam Of Fraud.

AS might have been expected from a
party that robs labor, the proposed tariff
measure contemplates the raising of
revenue by a system Of fraud, for this
is exactly what the ad valorem method
always has been and always will be-
fraud upon the revenue, fraud upon
the manufacturer in this country and a
fraud upon American labor.
The value Of goods in foreign coun-
try, upon which ad valorem rates of du-
ties are paid, is always an unknown
quantity. The importers here will buy
from the manufacturers abroad SO as to
secure the lowest possible prices at the
port of shipment, these being the values
upon which the duty must be paid.
There is no guarantee that the goods
will be correctly valued abroad, and it
will be impossible for our customs Off
Gals to follow all market quotations.
An importer can always claim that
he bought goods abroad below the
quoted market for spot cash, hence il
will be easy for his invoice to be
fixed" Foreign manufacturers will
be only too anxious to secure our trade
at the outset and to close up our facto.
ries, so that cutting of prices to point
below the value of American made
goods may be regarded as certainty,
In former free trade times this policy
was adopted, and our markets were
oversupplied, in order to create depres
sion in values and compel our factories
to close. Then when the foreign trade
controls the market prices will reasser
themselves, except that our manufac
turers will never know on what basis
they can afford to make goods. Mean
time American labor can starve or &C
oept foreign wage rates. -Americar

How to Know a Caxton

Title pages were unknown till after
1891. There must be no Roman or Italic
lettering, but all in Gothic or old Eng
lish. There must be no commas, but an
oblique stroke in their place. Further,
there must be no catchwords at the
bottom of the page. The use of these,
long gone out of fashion, did not come
into vogue till years after Cations death.
There are other tests necessary, such
as the measurement of the lines, for
some of the type used was initiated pref
ty closely by Cations successors. 1t is
clear, however, that during his career
Caxton only used six kinds of type. The
first, distinctly foreign in its character,
was used by him at Bruges in the print
ing of 'sThe Recuyell of the Histories of
Troye" and in the first edition of 1.-The
Game and Playe of the Cheese" This
STYLE was never used in England. The
second style, such as in "The Moral
Proverbs" and ''Tulle of Olde Age"
printed in 1477 and 1881 respectively,
was beautiful and artistic. 1t follows
design of manuscript which obtained the
name of Gros Batarde, common in use
in the fifteenth century. Several books
were written in this manner under the
order of Edward " and are now to be
seen in the British museum.
Looking at the dates when Cations
books were issued and the types he used,
it is evident he did not make new type
till the old was worn out. A pretentious
style came next in 1883, very bold in its
character. It is predetermined whether
there is book in this type; the only ex-
amples we have of it at present are in
headlines. Chambers Journal.
