STATE BOUNDARY LINE,

Senate bill No. l3S, confirming the
boundary line between North and South
Dakota as established by the commits
sion appointed for that purpose, could
not have understood when it passed the
bill what the effect ofits enactment would
be. The enabling act pre- vided that North
and South Dakota shall be divided on
the seventh standard parallel. When
the commission came to establish the
line they claim to have discovered an
error in the location Of the parallel, and
proceeded to correct the same. In
making this they changed the line about
two and Il half miles for a distance Of
forty miles through the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indian reservation, which
would cut off about 10000 acres from
North Dakota and attach it to South
Dakota.
DO the people of North Dakota desire
to surrender to South Dakota this valu-
able tract? If not, then this bill should
be killed in the house. 1t has generally
been supposed that this line was estab-
lished by congress, and hat the state
could do nothing but accept it. Such is
not the case. If it was, no action by the
legislature would be necessary. Let
the bill be indefinitely postponed at the
first opportunity.

OFFICIAL PAPER BURLE|GH co.
REGCLATION OF INTEREST.

Senator Rourke. in advocating the
passage of his bill reducing the rate of
interest in the state. and prescribing
severe penalties for the taking of usury,
made one of the strongest speeches of
the session. He showed the fallacy of
the cry that to reduce the rate of inter-
est would drive money out of the state,
quoting figures and facts establishing
that it had had directly the opposite eff
feet wherever tried. He traced the
course of legislation on the subject in
Illinois, Pennsylvania and other states,
and cited many instances of the beniti-
cent effect of such legislation. Showed
the shrinkage in all other values, and
gave reasons why the use of money was
not worth as much in the state as it was
a few years ago.
Wheat said he, "was selling a few
years ago at 80 cents to 81 a bushel,
other farm products in proportion. A,
good horse was worth $3.50; now you can
buy them for $50. Land that sold for
$40 and SIS an acre, can TO- be bought
at from IS to 81 an acre; the borrower
can not afford to pay as high a rate of
interest as formerly, and in the interest
of the whole people it is our duty to re.
duce it." Speaking of the usury feature
of the bill, the senator said: "There is a
certain class of loaners who prey upon
the necessities of the borrowing class, a
GLASS which above MI Others who most
need protection. Since the money
char gers we're driven from the temple
they have preyed upon the necessities of
the people. The shylocks of North Da-
l1ota have been it's worst detriment: this
has no reference to persons who loan
money according to law, for they are not
usurers, and no matter how stringent
the law only Insurers can be affected"
Mr.. Rourke had the satisfaction of
seeing his bill pass by a handsome ma
iOrity.

Must Make Returns,

Deputy Revenue Collector Lieber has
received a letter from his chief in re-.
gard to a ruling made by Commissioner
Miller in regard to Section IS of the
regulations relative to the income tax.
The section says that every corporation,
company or association doing business
for profit shall render on or before the
lst Of March in every year a full return
of it's business for the year preceding.
In addition to this the commissioner
rules that all such doing business either
at a profit or loss" must make return.
Severe penalties are attached to the vio-
latlons of the law, and 1t will be en-
forced. The time for making return
has, however, been extended to April Is,

PRINTING IN CHINA.
Shun Pao. Shanghai Daily, Has Eight Pages
of Thin Rice Paper.

u 1I1u NICE Tapcrs
Shanghai is China's chief port and con-
tains about 400, 900 inhabitants, who are
under native rule, and the English, Amer
lean and French settlements, with $780,
900 Chinese and 5000 foreigners, all of
whom are under foreign rule.
In that city tremendous congregations
gather in the mission churches, and there
are to be found the largest Sunday schools
in China. In Shanghai is also the largest
mission press in the world. More han
1000 Chinese converts are connected with
the different missions. b
In the mission press electrotyping and
stereotyping are done, and over IS, 600, 600
pages are issued annually.
The Shun Pao is the best paying and
most widely circulatd of the three native
newspaper dailies Of Shanghai. 1t is an
eight page sheet, printed on the thinnest
of rice paper. 1t is SO light that it does
not weigh more than a mans handker-
chief and SO thin that the paper can be
printed on one side only.
The paper goes to press in big sheets,
which are SO folded that the blank side
is turned inward when taken in hand by
the subscriber, and SO that there is neither
cutting nor FASTING. Owing to the thin
ness of the paper it has a greasy, yellow
appearance, and it is printed SO closely
with Chinese type that not an inch seems
to be wasted.
Tho headline or title of the paper con-
sists of two Chinese characters, taking up
a space not wider than one of the columns
of our newspapers and not more than an
inch in length.
Its price is 10 cash, which, allowing for
the difference in currency, makes it equiv
alent to half q cent in our money.-Phila.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WORST has in
past sessions demonstrated his ability to
advocate the best interest of the state
upon the floor of the senate. The mea-
sure that has had his friendship has had
a strong champion, and the measure he
opposed was usually defeated. His
present position has taken him out of
the list of advocates, and his friends
have watched his course as a presiding
officer, and as such he has sustained the
reputation gained as a legislator. With
u accord they agree that he has added

TIE news of the success of Senators
Roach and Hansbrough in securing fav.
orable action on the establishing of a
military post at Bismarck is particularly
pleasing. The established policy of the
government is to remove and establish all
military forts at stragetic points on rail
and waterways, and the action of the
senate in this matter is in line with that
policy.

VETO

Governor .Allin has vetoed Senator
Parkins' bill, which provides for organi-
cation of two Or more unorganized coun-
ties into one county whenever there shall
be one thousand or more inhabitants
within the territory proposed to be or
ganized. The veto is as follows:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
BISMARCK, March 5. 1895.
To the Senate:
GENTLEMEN: herewith return to you
senate bill No. so without my approval. I
have given the bill my careful attention,
since it was placed in my hands, and am
OF the opinion that the best interests of the
state will not be subserved If the bill
should become a LAW. Senate bill No. "a,
passed at the present session, and now a
law. makes full. ample and complete pro-
visions for the organization of all unor
ganized counties in the state. and for its
attachment to organized counties to which
it is attached. by law. for judicial purposes,
and the provisions OF the political code
fully provide for the organization of new
counties in accordance With the provisions
of the constitution.
Should No. so become a law as it stands
nOw without provisions for repeating the
former laws passed at this session it will
place conflicting laws upon our statutes
and will require. in my opinion and in the
opinion of the attorney general, COwan,
adjudication by the courts to decide which
bill to proceed under before the unor-
ganized territory can be organized. The
condition OF our treasury and depleted
revenues seem to me to inlperatively de
mand that the law upon this point should
be clear and that no delay should be toler'
ated in the organization of the unorganized
territory, but that the state should proceed
10 get the revenues to Which it is entitled
from property therein situated as speedily
as possible, and existing laws make ample
provisions therefor.

In ORDER to avoid complications likely

IN UKDER 10 aVO1u cOmpIlCat1Ons likely
to arise in the passage of the political
code, the senate wisely decided to pass
House Bill No. s, repeating the gross
earnings law. That body, however, i'm
mediately passed another gross earnings
bill with provisions presumed to he sat-
i~sfactory to all the roads, for it is con-
coded that in order to enforce a gross
earnings law it must be in the nature of
a contract. The scheme now proposed is
more fully set forth in another column.
1t has passed the senate, but will meet
with opposition in the house.

VIII Diversity,

The farmers in the vicinity of Lari-
more will give diversified farming their
attention this year more extensively
than ever, says a correspondent. One
farmer, five miles north of town, has
bought 1900 bushels of seed potatoes
and will plant them all. Another farmer
will plant fifty acres IN white beans and
others will plant corn and beets. Many
are going to SOW fax seed instead of SO
much wheat.

kotan, published at Fargo, will from this
time forth carry the banner Of the new
silver party and fight the single issue of
silver"
The generals enthusiasm on the silver
question seems not to die away, but
rather to increase with the flight of
time.
The principal plank of the new party
is the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at a ratio Of 16:to1 and a demand
that all Of the money Of the country
shall be issued blythe government itself.
The address will inaugurate a new
feature 10 American. politics by doing
away with the %old.system of nominating
conventions; will call upon the people
themselves to nominate candidates for
the Office of president and vice presi.
dent of the United States by petition.
1t is argued that the delegation to nomi-
nation conventions do not always repre-
sent the views and the wishes of the
people sending them and it has there
fore been decided that the people them
selves in their own names shall for once
name candidates.
According to Attorney General Stand
ish the movement will eventually res ult
in the populists throwing their party
overheard and going over bodily to the
new party Of which Mr.. Standish is the
champion in this state, and the so-called
populist party is from this time a thing
of the past SO far as this state is con.
cerned.

That Silver PARTY.

General Standieh's removal from nnh,
lie life appears to have but intensified
his efforts in behalf of silver, and now
he intends to break away from the pops
and start the clans to moving toward the
new silver party. Steps have been taken.
it is said, that will result in turning over
to the new silver party the entire strength
OF the populist party organization OF the
Dakotas, and probably of most if not all
the other states where the populists
have working organizations. 1t is ex-
pected by the leaders of the new party
that this will give a strength that will
do much toward putting it in a position
where it can make a decided showing at
the next general elections. General
Standish said of this matter that the
%"populists of North Dakota will. en-
masse, go over to the new silver party.
The populists controlled at the last cleo.
ton a little over 100000 votes. The
silver party will sweep the west, not only
the silver producing states, but the apri-
cultural west, including such states as
Minnesota. The question before the
people is finance, and one of the old
parties must take the side of gold. Every
