An Omen Letter to Carlisle,

George w. Pepperell is very active
in political literature this year, and
his series Of Open Letters to promi.
nent political leaders in the Arena is
attracting as much attention and Gro.
ating us much curiosity as anything
that has appeared in periodical litera-
ture since the famous Arthur Rich.
mond letters, which set the political
world by the Jars and all heads a
wagging some years ago. George W.
Pepperell has the same acuteness of
perception, the SANE directness and
dizziness Of attack, the same long
memory for political history inside
and out, and the same mastery of all
the facts of the important legislation
of this country during the last twenty.
five years. In the March Arena Geo.
w. Pepperell, presumably n of the
ancient New England Pepperell fami-
ly which led the storming of Louis.
burg, addresses an open letter to Sec
rotary Carlisle, and lie makes fairly
breezy reading for all who love pc.
lemics. The writer, whoever he is, is
a politician to his finger tips and
knows the ms and outs of American
men and parties like an oracle.

The people of the 31st district
can point with pride to the work
accomplished by its representa-
tives in the session of the legisla-
ture just closed. They we're
to the measure, known as
county extension; and, although
Senate Bill No. 24-for that pur-
pose-was the second bill of the
session to become a law, the fight
was on during the entire session.
Counter bills were introduced and
at every turn our representatives
had to guard this paramount
measure. The final triumph
came only in the afternoon of the
closing day, when Senator Nc
Gillivray succeeded in killing in
the senate by an overwhelming
majority Representative Murphy's
House Bill No. 173. Suffice it to
say that Senator Me- illivray has
won for himself an enviable rep
utation as a legislator and Rep
res~entative Simpson has made a
good second.

The Appropriations.

The news from Bismarck, says the
Grand Forks Herald, to the effect
that Gov. Allin seriously contem.
plates vetolng the bills appropriating
money for maintenance of all the
state institutions, except the insane
asylum aud penitentiary, does not
come in the nature of II surprise to
those who have posted themselves on
the real condition of the states finan.
ces. The state is in a deplorable con-
dition, financially, and there is no
use in Disgusting the fact. The in
come of the state during present BIZ
ennial period, assuming that all taxes
are paid, will not exceed 100000.
But the legislature has appropriated
nearly 100000. which, if not slashed
by a veto, will certainly result in Il
deficit at the close of the present adj
mlnistration of not less than 100000.
Now, under the circumstances, what
is the best thing to do! That is the
question doubtless which Gov. Allin
is trying to answer; and if he decides
to answer it in the shape of a veto of
all the appropriation bills, except
those providing for the maintenance
of the state. government, the courts
and the penal and charitable institu.
tions, the people of the state need not
be surprised. While We believe such
a course would be the heroic thing to
do, yet we earnestly hope it may be
obviated. Sooner or later, however,
some such drastic action must be re.
sorted to if the people ever expect to
get from under the load of taxation
which is crushing them to the earth.
Should the inevitable be deferred, OF
should the knife be used at once and
have it done with?

Fargo College.
To Churches and Friends:

To Churches and Friends:
You will doubtless be interested
to know that we are having a most
successful year of work in the Col
lege. Our enrolment the present
school year is now one hundred and
twenty in the regular courses, and
including the music department we
have n hundred and seventy.fve
students doing earnest, successful
work.
To have secured these results dur.
ing these depressed times brings en-
enlargement to all our hearts. The
College is beginning to realize the
hopes of its founders and these indi.
cations point with certainty to Il
splendid future. Our trials and EN-.
barrassments have been a part of the
experience of all such institutions
wherever founded, but out of them
faith and self.denying work must
| win success. There is no royal road
to C a we'll established college.
Into its life must be built the pray
ers. the sacrifices, the gifts Of it's
founders. You are its founders and
Fargo College must depend upon you
to give it life and strength.
Our Educational Society in Boston
gives us $4,000 the current school
year, but on condition that we raise
a like amount in the western field;
and it insists upon our keeping up
even with its payments. So far we
we have done very we'll, in meeting
the current expenses of the school
but have now come to u point where
we must ask our friends to help us.
Our teachers need money and our fu-
ell bills must be paid. If the church
es and friends of the College will
each do what they can we shall be
able to meet the expenses of the cur.
rent year.
The magnificent offer of DR.. Pear.
sons will oon require u united eff.
forts to secure the 100000 endow.
ment. The Educational Society
writes that the other colleges are
getting off their list as benefciaries
and then they will take hold of Fargo
and help us to raise the endowment
and pay off our debt. A personal
letter from DR.. Pearsons also tells us
not to get discouraged for our time
will soon come. "Fargo will be the
first Of the schools of our class tt
come so early into a substantial en-,
dowment," so writes the Secretary
of the Educational Society.
Will not the friends of the College
make a special sacrifice, if need be
to send us some help to carry us
through the year, and send it il pos.
sible now!
Sincerely Yours,

The people of North Dakota
owe a debt of gratitude to Senator
]. P. Lamb of Nelson county,
author of senate bill No. 48, fixing
rates for the transportation of
coal. 1t is practically Iowa rates
advanced fifteen per cent, and
very materially reduces the old
coal rates to all points through.
out the state. 1t has been a we'll
recognized fact for some years
that the coal fields of North Da-
kota could not be developed to
any great extent until more adj
vantageous shipping rates were
had. But it will be different un-
der the Lamb law. People of the
eastern part of the state can burn
native coal as they have long had
a desire to do, and more than a
million of dollars annually will be
used for a commodity within the
state, that has heretofore gone
out. Senator Lamb, who is a
fearless, conscientious worker,
may we'll feel proud of this piece
of legislation.

AT last it has been practically
settled that Bismarck gets the
Fort Yates military post. This
is a practical business move on
the part of the government, for
the post will be much more &C
cessible and much more economi-
cally maintained at Bismarck
than at Fort Yates. 1t will be a
fine thing for Bismarck, adding
about 1000 people, and incident
ally it will be a good thing for the
entire state. An appropriation of
has been made for this
post and another on Puget Sound.

Saturday. March IS, 1895.

THERE was a we'll founded ru-
NOR on the streets last Saturday
that Hayward had suicided. It
appears to have been a mistake,
although the Bismarck Tribune
came out with a dispatch from
Minneapolis confirming the ru-
NOR. The correspondent after
wards claimed that a word left
out of the dispatch made the ru-
NOR seem a certainty.

The matter of vetoing entire,
or scaling down, some ofthe state
appropriation bills now confronts
Governor Allin. Too m c h
money has been appropriated,
more than our revenues to the
amount of at least $4,000. This,
with a deficit of $4,000 caused
by excessive appropriations of
two years ago, would make a de-
icit of nearly 100000 at the
close of another year, or 100000
in excess of the states debt limit.
Now what is to be done7 The
governor has fifteen days from the
the close of the session-March 8
in which to act upon the ap:
preparation bills. A separate bill
for each state institution was
passed, and the governor has the
power to veto any or all of the
bills, and he also has the power
to veto separate and distinct items
of any bill. The penitentiary and
asylum must be maintained; and
it is a fine thing to have a uniyer-
sity at Grand Forks, a normal at
Mayville and one at Valley City.
But can the state afford these
schools2 They are in a great
measure local institutions, and
$4,000 distributed among the
towns of 1000 inhabitants for the
maintenance Of highsehools in con-
nection with the public schools
would do more toward the adj
vancement of education generally
than the three institutions men
toned. A much greater number
would be benefited and the state
would save $4,000. The coun'
ties, or towns, in which these in
stitutions are located would no
have so good a pull at the public
crib, and a number of people
would be out of employment
But as we see it, some of the in
stitutions-which never ought t.
have been established-have go
to be closed sooner or later. An
is it not better to call a halt nov
and commence Immediately t.
keep our expenses within the in
come of the state7

Immediately into his subject. Mr.,
Carlisle repeated his argument that
the under-valued metal would be
driven out Of the country by the
adoption OF bimetallic system, and
at some length paid attention to the
claims that the fall in the price of sill
yer was due to its demonetization,
Continuing, he said that the fiat Of
