"Fhe Lady or the Tiger?" is the title
of story by Frank K. Stockton, n
humorist which appeared i'll the Gem
tuiy Magazine several years ago. 1t told
the story of Il young man, in an UNI
named country, condemned TO be tried
for some crime. The trial consisted in
his being placed in an ampitheatre be-
fore two doors. Behind one door was q
beautiful maiden; behind the other was
a rayeuous tiger If he freed the maiden,
he was acquitted and married to her; if
he freed the tiger, the verdict was guilty
and the tiger did the rest" Now this
young man was in love with the Prin-
cess Of that lend, who loved him pas
sionately. She sat in her seat at the
trial and looked at her lover. She
knew where the tiger was and where
the maiden. If she sent her lover to
the tigers door, she would see him torn
| to pieces; if she sent him to the maiden
door she would see him married to an.
other. Finally the Princess made sig.
nal to her lover, and he stepped up in,

CROP CONDITION.

Director Bronson gives the fol-
lowing summary of crop conditions
throughout the state for the month
ending Monday.
The conditions during the last
month have been unfavorable for
farm work. A rain and snow storm
followed by cold, freezing weather,
combined with general cloudy con-
dition of the sky has prevented
much work being done, except
In especially high places and in some
scattered localities which have been
exempt from the general conditions.
Some seeding has been done, bu,
with continuance of the weathe,
for last week, which at this writing
seems probable. it is likely that il
will have to be done over again.
Reports from sections where seeding
was done in March indicate that il
will have to be reseeded.
All reports indicate that the
ground is in better condition as
regards moisture, than it has been
for years, and the general outlook
for the future is very promising.
The report from Cavalier county
is, very little seeding done yet,
though it will be general next week
if the weather holds good.

The Most Complete Tie-up on

The Great Northern's president,

and make a tool of him, has at last
found foeman worthy of his steel
in the America Railway Union.
During the past eighteen days the
whole Great Northern system, one
of the most extensive in the country
has been tied up by strike on y the
part of its employees. All owing to
the mercenary policy of this great
railway magnet.
An adjustment was made last
Tuesday evening at half past ten
when President Hill granted all the
concessions asked for by the mon.

THE WAGES QUESTION.

With the modern organization of
labor, the question, What shall be
the wages of the workers in any oc-
cupation is not wholly question for
the employer. 1t is his right to
close up his establishment if he can
not work it at profit, but if he will
keep it open it must be on terms at
least acceptable, if not welcome to
the workers. The growing strength,
efficiency, and intelligence of the
workingmen have for some time been
depriving the employer of the dog
matte and autocratic power which in
former periods characterized his re-
lation with his employees. The
alertness of the workmen and their
disposition to assert their right to a
fair, and even a growing, share of
the products of their labor may be
seen in the manner in which the pre-
sent railroad strike is being con-
Quoted. The constant trend Of the
laboring classes in all countries is to
combination-a direction i'll which
capital has set them the example.
The process is certain to continue
and to result in the laborers getting
a larger and larger share of the con-
tribution which they severally make
to the joint product of capital and
labor. The working class will
never be prosperous until the en-
ployer is found seeking workmen
with the same zeal that workmen are
now seeking employers. That con
dition will be brought about by an
intelligent regulation of the money
system of the country so that the
number of dollars shall always in
crease in accordance with the in
creas, Of pcpu'*liHA ~n business.

STRIKES IN EUROPE.

The number of strikes in Great
Britain in 1889 was l,l45, Of which
those for advance of wages number
ed 1853. Of these 76s, it is a slgni-
ficant fact that the number recorded
as being wholly unsuccessful is but
7e, being only 10 per cent. The de-
mands for higher wages were there
fore, wholly or partially successful
in nine cases out of ten; and taking
the entire number of strikes from all
causes in the country for that year,
the number recorded as being unsuc-
cessful is Only 2o7-so that the work
ingmen were either wholly or par
TALLY successful in four-fifths of the
cases. In Germany, for the year
ending 1890, the number of strikes
and lockouts reported is 1915. Of
these the number resulting favor
ably to the employers was 1877; those
favorably to the workingmen 42o,
and the number compromised 46s.
If we credit the workman's side with
,one-half the number compromised
and the side of he1employers with
the other, it will show GA strikes
outof l,o75, or so per cent. in which
the workmen succeeded either as a
whole OF partially. These are evil
dences of the unmistakable trend of
labor in Europe toward larger self
assertion and determination to OBJ
tain what to the laborers appears to
be a fair share of the products Of
their individual labor.

the balance of the committee beng
represented by proxy.
A committee consisting of Senator
John Burke, J. D. Benton and

draw up resolutions, expressing the
sen ntiments of the state committee
on current political affairs.
Grand Forks was declared the

place for holding the convention,
and July 26 was, after some debate
decided upon as the date.
The matter Of representation at
the convention was then taken up
and various appointments discussed.
1t was finally agreed that the basis
of representation should be one
delegate for each fifty votes or minor
fraction thereof, cast for the
democratic candidate for member
of congress, at the last general cleo
ton, and one delegate at large in
each county.
Messrs. Murchie, Gagan and
Burke were appointed to draft reso-

O'Brien. The committee reported
a series of highly eulogistic reso-
lutions on the death of Judge
O'Brien, which were feelingly
spoken to by many members of the
committee and adopted by rising

details of the campaign, the COM
