III SON WIZ.

An unusa number Of complaints
against the railroads of this state
seem 10 be getting into the papers
this fall, due, no doubt, in part to
the large cropIto be moved this fall.
The Park River Gazette Witness
among other griesats it has to re-
late, says:
1t looks us though the engine was
routed ont Of it's bed about the time
the train was scheduled to leave for
Park River or lsangdOn, and just why
the endless pulling aud hauling can
not be commenced one hour or six
hours earlier is III problem we would
all like to hayeE s0lved. One disgust
ing feature Of the business is that no
one around the station seems to have
any information rs to when the train
will start. Men women and little
children are kept hanging around the
depot for hours ShOping against hope.
afraid, even when noon comes, to
leave the establishmt Mt long enough
to eat dinner for fear of being left be-
hind after all their waiting. This &C.
ours not rarely at all, but is of the
commOnest occurrence.
This is matter that was seen to
by the old board Of railroad com
missioners, and after long contest
with the management an order was
secured remedying the evil here
complained of, and npto the time
of their retirement the order was
complied with. That the evil again
recurs but illustrates the absurdity
of our present system of choosing
railroad commissioners. Instead of
choosing three new commissioners at
each election the sensible method
would be to choose one at each cleo
ton to serve a term of six years. Az
it is now every new board starts in
totally inexperienced in railroad
matters, and each year have to fight
anew the fights fought and won by
their predecessors, while under the
other system wewould have an ex-
perienced board who would get past
the primer of railroad matters be-.
fore they left Office. Just as soon as
a railway commission gets sufficient
ly informed and experienced so that
they might become useful they are
supplanted ny novices at the bust
ness who spend their time learning
what their predecessors already
knew. -Fsrgo Independent.

WHAT ". J. BRY1N 81 Us.

The following are extracts from
the recent speech delivered by U.
S. Senator w. J. Bryan, of Ne
braska, before an enthusiastic audi
ence at Fargo the other day:
"Under the present system if a
man goes out to the mountains and
produces silver he can't take it to
the mint and have it coined into
money; he must go around and try
to find somebody who wants to buy
it for commercial purposes. If we
had a law that allowed the free coin
age; when man produces it from
the mines be would not have to go
and find some one who wanted to
make spoons out of it, he could go
and have it coined and buy your
wheat which is selling for forty cents
and your potatoes which are rotting
in the ground. Men who can con-
vert their silver into money can then
have something with which to buy
what we have to sell. call your at
tention to a statement issued by the
treasurer which says that we have
in circulation in this country s74,-
100000 less than we had year ago
at this time. Suppose we have
something TO sell. Now, can we get
anything forit unless there is money
in the country to give for that we
have to sell? We hear people say
we have too much money, and yet
We hear those same people rejoice
when we get any gold abroad.
If we need money why not let it
come out Of our own mountains, and
not be dependent upon some foreign
persons to let us have money? The
natural increase Of the United States
last year was such as to create de-
mand for an increase of $50, 900, 900
Of metal money. Now if we need
$50, 100000 more than we did last
year, and have $74 900, 900 less than
we had last year, it means that We
have shortage this year Of over
4l24,0O0,O00.
