The farmers OF Dickey county are be
ginning to realize, remarks the Leader
that the M they convert a large area
OF the present grain farming into a but
ter producing region, the sooner will
they be able to lift their mortgages.
The idea that our COWS shall in the future
gather the wealth of our soil, and bring
it to the farm house every night and
morning, to be converted into money at
the will of their owner, Is rapidly spread
ing and becoming popular. And the
time is not far distant when many farms
that are now exclusively devoted to wheat
farming, will be converted into dairy
farms. Then the many now vacant farms
will be reclaimed by actual farmers and
dairymen. The problem of dairying,
once inaugurated and understood, will
save our rich prairie farms from the
Russian thistle pest, and at the same
time help the farmers to get out of debt.

IT Is three years this week since Billy
Dunlap took charge of the Valley City
Times Record, and it is newsy, bright,
prosperous and hourishing. The friends
of the editor, who left Bismarck three or
four years ago, are pleased that he has
prospered, and trust that prosperity
may continue indefinitely. To his sub
scribers this week, Editor Dunlap says:
Today the Times-Record prints and
sends out more papers weekly than were
ever sent out by any newspaper in Barnes
county. The publisher takes pardonable
pride in the fact that he has conducted the
paper for as many years as his predeces-
sor, and hopes and expects, to publish it
longer than any man who has ever owned
it. Editorially the paper will continue to
honestly uphold that which its editor be-
lieves to be right, and to denounce that
which is wrong when the best interests of
the public will be best subserved thereby.
In the beginning Of another year,D u
lap will have the best of wishes from
friends here, and throughout the state.

The Medico- Legal congress, in session
in the city of New York, remarks the St.
Paul Dispatch, is developing in the pa
pers read before 1t a vast number of in.
teresting facts in regard to the extent of
crime committed under the guise of life
insurance, whether of adults or of
children. The numerous cases that have
come to light recently where crime was
committed in order to realize from life
insurance has effectually startled the en-
tire country. It is not alone the notori-
u Holmes and the Fraker cases that
have aroused public attention to the ex-
tent of this crime, but t le instances are
running up into hundreds, where muir.
der and fraud are the EXAMINATIONS of
that class of insurance. F. L. Hoffman,
of Newark, n. j., submitted a paper at
the congress on the subject of the
"Medico-Lega Aspect of Child Insur-
ance," the fact of which are startling
and highly suggestive in their nature,
and tell a hideous tale that calls for leg
i~slative interference, if it is to go as it
has done, filing children's graves almost
innnumerable. Mr.. Hoffman pointed
out that the mortality among children
insured is very greatly more than among
those who are not insured. He also
stated that they are moro than a million
of children under l 0years of age insured
IN this country and about 4,000, DOC in
England. The disclosures that have
from time to time been made in large
American cities Of children more than
half starved in order to save the weekly
sums necessary to pay premiums upon
the insurance of their lives, call for some
active and effective intervention by the
lawmaking powers, to check this grow
ing evil.

HE Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Journal predicts that rumors of
war will be plenty during the coming
| year. According. to some Of them this
country will now and then be pictured
as on the verge of terrific conflict with
Great Britain. The respective land and
sea forces of the two countries will be
set forth in exact terms, and learned
co mparisions to show the relative
strengths and chances of a conflict be-
tween them will be drawn. Diplomatic
relations will be declared strained al
more to a bursting point. The faces of
the administration will be pronounced
stern, solemn, and overcast with the
awful thought of prospective response
bility of war. These rumors will some-
time come from democratic and at other
times from republican sources. They
will be seemingly believed by prominent
men and worthy of credence by the pub
lie at large. This sort of thing will con-
tlnue during the session Of congress, the
national conventions, and until the next
national elections shall have become a
thing of the past. The public at large
however, will have no cause to fear a dis
turbance of our peaceful relations With
Great Britain. Politicians of both par
ties will be chiefly responsible for the
reports, and their activity in spreading
them will be due to their hope IN furth-
ering the chances of their respective
political organizations. Doubtless some
Of them will strive so hard to credit the
belief of IN approaching conflict and the
consequent conclusion that this or that
party can best be trusted with the safe
conduct Of the nation in the event of
war, as to finally actually believe them
selves that war is unavoidable. These
reports will make more or less interest
ing reading, of purse. But there will
be nothing more harmful in them.

JUDGE FAIRBANKS, of Indianapolis,
Ind, who has just returned from a trip
through Europe, has something to soy
on the tariff matter. 1.-The industrial
conditions in Europe, as affected by our
tariff system, interested me a great deal,
he says, and 1 looked into it thoroughly.
One thing interesting about English
manufacturers is the jealousy with
which they guard the progress of their
factories. desired to look through a
certain WOODEN mill, and greatly to my
surprise they asked me as many ques-
tions as if I had intended to steal the
place wholesale. They seemed to think
that l had some other motive than a de-
sire to compare their works with similar
branches in this country. Eventually
permission was refused me, as I was
looked upon as a dangerous character,
likely to steal their ideas. It surprised
me very much. I found that many
factories which under the operations of
the Mckinley bill had been forced to
close where low, thanks 10 the operations
of the Wilson Tariff law, are running
full blast. This Is the strongest argu-
ment in favor of protection that I know
OF. BY our W act we closed prosper
Gus manufactures in this country and
transferred our prosperity to build up
the waning industries of England"

IT WAS a reference by Keir Hardie, the
labor agitator, to the executed anarchists
which reused the Methodist ministers to
indignation, at their meeting in Chi
cago recently. The sentiments which
brought the uproar were uttered by Mr..
Hardie as an argument against a pre-
JUDGED view of opinions new or differ
ent from those which his auditors might
hold. He had called attention to the
fact that the apostles and ever Christ
himself had been denounced by the re-
.spectability, influence and public opinion
of their days as turbulent fellows"
outcasts from society and nobod,es. Yet
they we're really the apostles of a new
gospel and of better things. "Now I
ne continued, shat you have
had an experience in this city which in
some measure justified a certain timidity,
conservatism and apprehension, regard
ing theories which propose radical
changes in conditions. But may it not
be possible that those men who were
hanged, mistaken as they may have been
about the means to be used, may yet
prove to have been the apostles of a new
gospel?' Those who have seen anarchy
in Chicago were not prepared to admit
that the executed anarchists were
apostles of any gospel whatever, except
that of riot and murder, and they did
not relish any such illusions to them as
made by Hardie.

stitution were enfeebled by four years

q. P. M. HUFFMAN, acting general
manager of the tproposed) Minnesota
and North Dakota Central railway, has
issued a circular dated at Portland, this
state, IN which he says that for several
months past the matter of constructing
a railway system west from Duluth or
Superior through Northern Minnesota
and North Dakota to the Missouri river,
together with a number of branch lines
in the Red River valley and Northern
and Central North Dakota, has been
under Investigation by a circle of New
England capitalists. The projectors have
caused to be mapped out a system which
they believe will reach the best undevel-
oped country. Mr.. Huffman says that if
the people will do the right thing in the
way of promising business and creating
a fund to make preliminary surveys, to
purchase right of way, depot grounds,
terminals, etc., and to apply on grading
and other constr u%ctions the company
will guarantee two passenger trains each
way Excepting Sunday from Duluth or
Superior to Portland, N. D. and from
junction points on the main line to Fargo
Grand Forks, Crookston, with branches
northwest to the international boundary,
and southwest IN various directions.
The people are asked to hustle, and if a
satisfactory showing is made by October
18th the company will proceed to incorpor-
ate. The building of paper railroads is so
simple a task that the extension of two
or three Of them to q North Dakota
town in n day, does not create any
undue excitement, or occasion ever a
mild furry in real estate value. We
have became hardened, as it were, to
new roads, and they are taken as a mat
ter Of course IT Mr.. Huffman will tap
the Missouri river at about this point,
however, it ie probable he could secure
a lease of the 500 grade at a small
figure, together with plenty OF terminal
room and such other facilities as the
country affords at this time:

HE Grand Forks Herald finds that
the recent action of the state board of
equalization, in reducing the valuation
OF railways, is causing considerable ad-
verse comment in other states than our
own. As an instance of the variance
in railroad taxation it is cited that the
Iowa valuation averages $5,232, while
that of North Dakota is but $2,65O per
mile.

Does

asked as to what the country was, and
it is only within the last few years that
the people have come to admit to tue
world that western Kansas, western Ne.
braska, part of the Dakotas, one-third
of Texas and all of Oklahoma-aIl that
great region extending from the warm
waters of the gulf to the Manitoba coun-
try-cannot be settled and cannot sup
port a population unless it be reclaimed
by irrigation. Practical irrigationists
claim that over 1OO,OOO,O0O acres of this
vast tract of country may be reclaimed,
which will then support 100,000,000 peo-
pie. It will make homes for many years
for the 100000 young men and women
who come of age in the United States
every year. All of the public domain
upon which crops can be raised without
artificial irrigation is exhausted. The
reclaiming Of ven a part of this vast
tract of arid land would be of lasting
benefit to the entire country, because it
would give homes to thousands of idle
laboring men now thronging about the
already overcrowded cities of the east.

OFFICIAL PAPER BURLEIGH co.
N A TRIAL.

Ine new 1Ork tribune puOll6leS al
interesting sui of one years effects
of the democratic tariff law. It was a
year ago last week that the law went in
to effect, and the workingmen, after the
panic of so, and it's attendant harships,
have seen q great many idle works started
again since a democratic congress adj
jourded. But they also see in every
county and almost every town many
others which are still idle. It is not
a matter about which complete statistical
accounts are possible, but it is known to
every voter and every business mar
what the facts are within his own per-
sonal observation. Not only are many
establishments idle, the former hands
having been forced to seek a livelihood
in other occupations, but of those in
operation comparatively few are yet
working full time with full force. It is
a cause of glad rejoicing, and the good
news is quickly sent by wire all owe the
land, when this or that establishment
finds it's business sufficient to warrant
working as many hours and with as
many hands as in prosperous years.
How far recovery has advanced, taking
all kinds of business together, may per-
haps be inferred by the payments
through clearing houses, which in
August, with unusually large deferred
settlement from previous months be-
cause of the great delay last spring, and
with extraordinary speculation in pro-
gress in the east and west, were never
theless 8 per cent smaller than in 1892.
Another fact Of which people will
judge from their personal knowledge is
that the wages of labor and the profits
of business are not what there were in
days of prosperity. That something
like half a million of workers have re-
ceived some advance in wages since the
time Of greatest depression is most
cheering, and yet everybody knows that
within his personal acquaintance most
wage-earners are still receiving less
than they used to receive. The great
strikes in wooden and carpet mills which
failed, the strikes Of iron miners and of
clothing workers, and the threatened
strike of cotton workers, with many
others of less Importance, all bear wit
ness to the same fact, that labor is yet
receiving much less than in 1892, before
the country chose to have a "change."
1t the twenty million w~aee-earners can
not earn as much money as they used to
earn, neither can they spend as much,
and thus some shrinkage in the volume
OF business is unavoidably felt even by
those whose conditions are most fortu-
nate. Nor will merchants or manufact-
urers hesitate to admit that their profits
IN almost every branch of business have
also been cut down.
These are the facts which will govern
the action of the intelligent voters in
great number. They were promised bet
ter times if they would give the demo-
cratic party a trial and see the practical
results. They have tried it a year, and
1t may be seriously doubted whether
one man in a hundred, in any part of
the country, imagines that he has been
benefited by it in the least. But there
are millions who know that they have
been injured.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in a ratification
meeting at Springfield, Ohio, made some
good points in contrasting the democra-
tic and republican parties. ''The pen
sion laws of the United States under re-
publican administration ''he says were
the most liberal ever enacted by any
government. The amount already paid
approaches the entire cost of the war,
and $140, 100000 is still paid yearly to the
survivors of the war and the widows
and orphans of those who are dead.
Every debt contracted has been properly
met, and every promise made has been.
fulfilled. The great debt existing at the
close of the war, which alarmed the fears
of the timid, has been constantly dimin.
ished, and the whole of it would be paid
before due had the republican party
been continued in power. The striking
contrast between the two great parties
in our country when in power is that the
republican party steadily reduced the
debt and the democratic party constantly
increases it day by day, SO that during
the present administration it has in
creased over l 65,0o0,OO0, and that in.
crease will continue while that party is
in power. The republican party has
constantly maintained the policy Of pro-
tectiog American industries by tariff du-
ties on imported goods, and thus has
built up and diversified American indus
tries so that they have increased fourfold
since the beginning of the war. The
first act of the democratic party when in
power was to reverse this policy. The
result is not only insufficient revenue,
bat a large reduction in important do
nestle Industries, and increased impor-
tations Of foreign products. What we
propose and intend is to restore the pro-
tective policy of the republican party, to
collect enough revenue to pay current
expenses, to reduce the national debt,
and to build up and increase domestic
manufactures and productions, not only
of the workshop, but of the farm and
the nine"
