And Even the Clerk Admitted the Fact
After Argument.
A lily white, blond young man entered
q well known haberdasher's a few laws
ago to purchase some collars. After ex-
amining the various styles from the low
water wark to the 20 story fiat he selected
two at 30 cents each.
"They are three for 50 cents" said the
clerk.
SWELL, give me two"
"Better take three for half a dollar"
repeated the clerk.
Il only want two"
eyes, but two cost 40 cents, and you
get three for 5O-one for q dime. See?''
said the clerk.
""Can't I buy two2' anxiously inquired
the blond young man. II only want two"
"Of course, but you save 10 cents by
taking three" said the clerk. 'I'n just
wrap up thr"e for a half dollar"
"Look here, I know what I want. You
wrap up two collars"
but, SIR
II want two c~olalrs, and 7 have 40 cents
to pay for them, and'-
"You lose a dimc-three for So" insist
ed the clerk as he reluctantly wrapped up
the neckwear. =
II don't care a d-n!' howled the
blond young man in a rage. II know
what I want-two collars, a beer and a
nickel to pay my street car fare home.
See? Now, can I get two collars for 40
cents or not?' and the blond young man
loaned at the mouth in his righteous in
dignation.
He got the two collars. The clerk
swooned. He hadn't thought of the "beer
and the street car."-St. Louis Republic.

KEEP APPROPRIATIONS DOWN.
Senator Haggart introduces a bill ask
ing an appropriation for the Agricult-
ural college of S50, 100. The %appropria-
tion made in 1898 was $4,000. This is
4 reduction of $4,000. Senator White
introduces a bill asking an appropriation
for the Valley City Normal school of
$4,000. The appropriation made in 1893
was s2S,120. This is an increase of 3d.
$50. Senator Fuller introduces a bill
asking for an appropriation for the In
sane asylum of S154 500. The ]appropria-
tion made in 1893 was $l39,O7O. This is
an increase of S24 $50, and is an increase
in the total amount asked to be appro-
priated over the appropriations Of two
years ago for the three institutions of
$333,41O.
We believe all Of these amounts can
be cut down without seriously interfer-
ing with the usefulness of the institu-
tions. There must be enough appro-
priated to properly maintain the insane
asylum, the states prison and the
soldiers home; as to all other institu-
tons, the appropriation, while keeping
in view the necessity for their continu-
ance, should be made to conform to the
revenue the state will be able to pay out
for these institutions after ~discharging
the liabilities it must necessarily incur
in administering the affairs of state.
Every state institution can and ought to
be maintained. The indebtedness of the
state can and must be paid within the
next two years. The amount of revenue
the state will receive from all sources
car be appropriated with reasonable
certainty, and, for the welfare of the
state, mu st be taken into consideration
in making appropriations, and while the
revenue can be materially increased by
proper legislation no good purpose will
be served by asking for larger a%ppropria'
tions than are absolutely necessitous for
the maintenance of our public institu-
tons. In considering the amount that
can be appropriated for all purposes 1t
must be borne in mind that there is
already a large deficit that must be
treated as an appropriation.

THERE is one thing that it will be we'll
for the republican party to remember
especially the republican party of North
Dakota-and that is, that 1t is on trial
before the people.
1t swept to victory last November be-
u it's promises we're believed and be-
cause the promises of the other parties
had proved to be false. It must keep its
promises; it must remember it's obliga-
tions to the people, or it will deserve to
go to defeat two years hence.
The discomfort that was abroad in the
land has not been laiG to rest forever.
The uneasiness of the half informed
masses has only been temporarily
quoted. The action of the party IN
power must be wise, just and patriotic,
if they would gain and hold the conf
dence which is necessary to future sue
cess.
It is a time for the display of states
manship, for the sinking of petty spirit,
for forgetfulness of personal grievance.
Every republican should work for the
success of the party, for the good of the
state. If one has been tempted to listen
to the tempter; if he has paused to hear
the song of the siren, let him turf away
and resolve to do his duty and all of it,
no matter what his personal gains or
losses may be.
This warning may not be needed, but
it is given that if there should chance to
be one in the ranks who hesitates he
may repent and alter his course Alright,
or else prepare for the day when the
mountains shall fall on him and crush
him to atoms.

jamestown Capital: The message is
of good length and bristles with good
points and recommendations to the law

mares and caucuses, q state census. &C.

sures to encourage diversified farming
and develop native coal.
Minneapolis Tribune: Roger Allin,
the new republican governor of North
Dakota, has delivered an able and in
terestlng message to the legislature of
that state, in which he takes advanced
ground on several of the current issues
of the day. There can be no doubt
that North Dakota now has a thor
oughly wideawake and progressive gov
ernor, aud as the majority of her peo.
pie are of the same character. she
may be expected to. make rapid strides
towards the front, not ~withstandinp the
hard times. -
Grand Forks Herald: The inaugural
message of Gov. Allin is a characteristic
document, just such as might have been
expected from him whom the people
have honored with the highest Office in
the gift of the state. Comprehensive and
yet brief, progressive and yet practical.

ton now passed away.
luminosity pauses at the portals of
the tomb" and it has been a custom,
from time immemorial, to say no evil of
the dead. Bur, in justice to the repub-
lican administration and to outline some
of the work necessary for them to do SO
in order to restore the state to it's former
position, it is necessary to say some
things which may sound harshly in the
earl of those misguided persons who
mistake zeal for ability, and crankism
for reform.
The republican party left S39S,000 in
the state treasury, $4,000 of which
was in the general fund. The populists,
after two years experiment, turn over to
the new treasurer S339, 1853 and leave the
general fund S7,44O overdrawn.
On the last day of their maladminis-
tration a warrant of $500 was paid, in
defiance of law, on a warrant issued by
Mr.. Porter. as part payment for a site
for a reform school four miles from
Mandan. No appropriation was ever
made for the purchase of this site and
there was no money in the fund upon
which a warrant should have been
drawn had there been al appropria-
tion. Mr.. Porter, in reply to criticisms
made by the TRIBUNE during the last
campaign, made excuse for not paying
necessary and la wful expenses of public
institutions that there was no money to
meet the warrants and that it would be
unconstitutional for him to draw them.
And yet, this same reform" auditor, the
election being over and his party de-
feated, makes no objection to drawing
warrants to The amount of nearly $500,
against an empty fund, in defiance of the
constitution-as be himself says-and,
in at least n instance, contrary to law.
It was high time that the people saw
tit to "turn the rascals out" A few
years more of mismanagement and law
breaking, and the state CT North Dakota
would have been in a worse condition
than the state to the south of us; though
it is but justice to the pops to say that
they kept the treasury of the state in
such condition that there was no tempta-
ton for the treasurer to run away
Thank heaven! The day Of these hypo-
critical reformers is over, and the people
aroused from their hypnotic condition
have elected officers who will right the
wrong.

The bill introduced in the house pro-
viding for the assessment of shares of
bank stock in the name of the bank Is,
we think, unconstitutional. All property
must be assessed in the name of the
owner or his agent. The stock of a bank
is one of it's liabilities, not of it's assets.
Should the owners of any bank stock
live in New YORK it would be assessed
there and not in this state and to assess
it to the bank would be double assess
ment and unlawful. Liabilities can not
be assessed.

THE SENATE COM M1rTEEs.

In making up the senate committees
Lieutenant Governor Worst seems to
have made it a point to place the hold
over senators in the same committees
they had two years ago, giving the va
cant chairmanships and vacancies on
the committees to new members.
His distribution seems to be as equit-
able as could be made where conflicting
interests are involved. The more i'm
portant committees fairly represent the
! conflicting sentiments and interests of
the state.
The committee on appropriations is
composed of senators representing the
state institutions.
From the lieutenant governors we'll
known desire that the most rigid econ
omy consistent with the interest of the
state should be exercised in making ap-
preparations for the several state insti-
t~utions, it is believed this committee
was selected with an understanding that
that policy should be pursued by them.
The lieutenant governor believes that
a balance can (without injury to the
state) and should be forced at the end
of two years. His method for doing so
were his personal wishes consulted and
his views for the welfare Of the state
carried out, would be to
First. Appropriate the minimum
amount for which the absolutely neces-
sary institutions-insane asylum, peni-
Tertiary and soldiers home-can be run
consistent with decency and the condi-
ton of the state treasury.
Second. Appropriate for the state gov
eminent legislative expenses, judiciary
officers s larry, ETC., the moneys neces-
sary to cover expenses under rigid econ
omy.
Third. Take the amounts of all such
appropriations and the present deficit in
the treasury into account, and let the
difference between the sum total and the
probable n of the state for the
ensuing two years be equitably distrib-
uted among the other state institutions.
This would force a balance IN two
years, place the credit of the state above
%reproach, and redeem every pledge made
by the republican party.
Undoubtedly such policy would FORE
stall any new public buildings or other
than absolutely necessary improvements.
The appointment of a satisfactory
committee on railroads is always a diff
cult problem.
The committee, as it stands, is com
posed of three old and six new members,
as follows: Two attorneys, one living on
the line of the Great Northern and the
other on a branch line of the Northern
Pacific; two stockmen, one it's chairman;
two farmers and three merchants. Every
interest of the state would seem to be
fairly represented.
The Judiciary committee of eleven
members is composed of seven lawyers,
two farmers and two merchants.
