OFFICIAL PAPER BuRLEIGH co.
CONCERNING THE APPROPRIATIONS


That there was necessity for the re-
duction of the appropriations for the
several state institutions, SO extensive as
to necessitate the closing of some of
them for the ensuing two years, is a
matter of regret throughout the entire
state. But it is one of those remedies
whose severity must be accepted heroic
ally, III view of the greater misfortune
which appears inevitable, should the re-
duction be not made at this time.
The republican party inherited, at the
beginning of the present administration,
An empty treasury and s150,000 in out.
standing obligations of institutions all
over the state. The last legislature
made new appropriations for these insti-
t%utions, which were S125,5O0 to $780, 900
in excess of the carefully estimated reve-
nues of the state for the ensuing two
years. The responsibility left with the
governor was a grave one.. If approved
as passed the state would be still further
in debt at the close of the administration,
instead of having paid off it's outstand-
ing obligations. The promises to pay
of the state institutions would have
increased rather than diminished. It
was necessary than the appropriations be
reduced to the lowest possible limit, if
the state was to emerge from the present
embarrassed financial condition with an
unimpaired credit. The p~enitentiary
and insane asylum must be maintained,
as they are indispensable to the we'll
being of the state and society. They
were deprived of all appropriations which
were able to be dispensed with by the
practice of the strictest economy, but
beyond this it was impossible to 60, and
then arose the unfortunate necessity OF
applying the knife to educational in
situations. Especially was the necessity
All unfortunate one in the case of the
State university, n of the first public
institutions of the state, wrested from
South Dakota back in territorial days.
1t has an excellent faculty, many schol-
ars in half finished courses, and was
doing good work, as were the normal
schools. The governor had an unwilling
duty to perform in the vetoing of appro-
priations for these institutions. He will
be criticised, but he acted as best he
could for the preservation of the unim-
paired credit of the state, and it will 90
out to the world that the republican
party will not repeat the extravaganza
of its populist predecessors, and the
credit of the state will be maintained and
made frmer in the eyes of conservative
and careful men OF business and finance,
The necessity is an unfortunate one, but
the state should meet it in the right
spirit, making the temporary sacrifice
with a view to the future and lasting
benefit of the commonwealth.

the bills before him. Among those which

UNDER the heading "Old Schimer, an
Aged Woman, Takes in some of Fargo's
Business Men," the Fargo Argus prints
a quarter. column article relating to the
old lady travelling under the name of
Lizzie Miller. The old lady spent some
days in this city during the session of
the legislature, and in addition to getting
free transportation to Portland, Trail
county. got some %thirty-fve dollars cash.
Shortly after her departure the TRIBUNE
received numerous letters from various
points in Pennsylvania and Ohio signed
by persons who claimed to have been
victimized. None of these letters were
published, and only slight mention was
made Of her having been here, for the
reason that while in the city she was seen
by a TRIBUNE representative and found
to be a woman who from all appearance
was % old as she claimed to be, 80, badly
crippled with rheumatism and suffering
bodily pain from age and disease. She
had arrived at that age when the days of
her %self-support we're past, and for the
remainder Of her life the world owed her
a living, and while the TRIBUNE does not
endorse her methods, she has carte
blanche so far as it is concerned to travel
the rest of her life and levy tribute as
she goes sufficient to provide for her ex.
penses. No woman who has arrived at
the ripe old age of 80 years is a swindler,
she is merely eccentric.

The repeal of Senate Bill No. 172,
which was intended to provide for the
constituting of the codes, was rendered
necessary because of on evident over
sight in the bill. Had it been approved
there would have been no laws, either ter
ritorial or state, left on the statute books,
except those passed at the last session
with emergency clauses, which would not
have included the codes. Section 5 of
the vetoed bill reads as follows:
Sec. 5. All acts passed by the legis.
lative assembly of the territory Of Dakota,
or the Legislative assembly of the state
of North Dakota, prior to the eighth day
of January, 1895, any portion of which is
embraced in any section of the codes or
laws passed at the present session of the
legislative assembly, are hereby repealed
and the section of the codes or laws
passed at this session, applicable thereto,
shall be in force.
AS the codes embrace all the laws
specified here, they would have all been
repealed by the approval of this bill, and
the state would have been for a time
practically without laws. The passage
of this act can only be accounted for on
the theory that it was hurried through
the last days of the session, without the
careful consideration it should have had.
While the rumor of crooked work or
w%oodchuck may be started in connection
with the matter, the tribune is inclined
to think after a careful examination of
everything connected with the matter,
including the original bill as it came
from the compilation committee, that the
matter was merely an oversight and
slipped through both houses without
beng discovered.

HEMA1NsrAYorHUmAN PROGRESS.

III EMAINsrAYOFHUMAN PROGRESS.
History of the world informs us, says
an eminent economist, that famine has
done more to impoverish, degrade and
brutalize humanity than any other cause
of human misfortune. Until man began
to improve his agricultural system, the
accumulation Of wealth Was impossible.
Millions of people were frequently made
to die through starvation, while other
millions became slaves, as their only
means of avoiding starvation, simply
because they had neglected to provide
excessive crops in the time of plenty to
supply their wants in time of scarcity.
Such having been the case, it is self
evident that the prosperity of agriculture
will insure the prosperity and moral
progress of man. That being the case,
1t devolves upon mankind the duty of so
acting as to encourage the farmers of all
countries to develop, cultivate and re-
plenlsh their farms in the effective and
profitable manner Farmers are the con-
sumers Of manufactured products, and
directly and indirectly the employers of
all labor.
The farmers of the commercial world
are at present in a most deplorable and
discouraging condition. Many of them
owe debts which they contracted and
expended the money when wheat wal
selling for slips per bushel. They are
at present required to give two and a
half bushels of wheat for each dollar
they owe, besides being compelled to pay
the same amount of taxes imposed in
more prosperous time.
Under these circumstances, the Ameri-
can and European farmers are being
driven to distress, poverty and slavery.
As we impoverish our farmers we az
brutalizing them by converting them
into non-compensated workers, whose
lives are expended in a struggle for a
mere existence without an earthly hope
for bettering their condition.

HUDSON. Mich, Nov. 22.--The viii

matron of IS, was married to a man
named Davis. who disappeared when
the honeymoon was sped, and after
years of search and waiting
she gave him up for dead
and was married to Mr.. Manning,
a well-to-do farmer in Medina, and has
lived a happy life. Wednesday Davis
arrived in Medina from the west with
a lot of cowboy companions. and ter
rorized the little hamlet by riding up
and down the street. He saw the wife
of his youth, and made several at
tempts to capture her s1ngle-handed.
Failing in this, he called upon his
companions, and they seized and gag
ged her, and started with their victim
for the Ohio line. a few miles distant.
Officers were hastily notified, and are
in hot pursuit of the abductors.

NO Small Credit to Himself-NO More
Reliance on Voluntary Contributions Of
Gold.
CHICAGO. Nov. ga special from
Washington says:
Conditions to-day indicate strongly
that there will be another bond issue
in January, if not before.
It is impossible to secure any au.
thorized statement on the subject from
the treasury department. Withdraw
ais of gold for to-day's shipment
leaves the reserve but lit tie over
Ss1. 900. 900. If the shipments the next
few weeks keep pace with the aggre-
gate of the week just closing. there
might be ground for expecting reali-
zation of the prediction made a few
days ago that the president would or
der another bond sale when the re-
serve reached SIS, 0OO. O00
1t is said by men in authority at
the treasury that the probability of
another bond issue does not .hinge on
the S75, 0OO. 900 limit. No limit, in fact
has been fixed and the chances are the
reserve will fall much below SIS, 600
900 before an issue of bonds is made.
The reason for this assuranc is the
fact that the present drain on the re-
serve is attended by no panicky feel.
ing in the commercial world. For
this favorable condition the president
claims no small share of credit be-
cause he believes the public confidence
rests solely upon his assurance that
bonds would be sold as soon and as
often as it became necessary to main
tain the redemption fund in the treas
ury.
Treasury officials make no conceals
ment of the fact that they have ceased
to rely on the voluntary contributions
of gold from bankers, such as were
made few weeks ago. These masters
of finance are showing no disposition
whatever to prolong their spasm of
generosity exhibited few weeks ago.
The shipment of gold next week
will be light, it is predicted, owing to
the fact that none of the particular
vessels which usually carry these
golden cargoes go abroad next week.
1t is the presumption, therefore, of
those who are only too glad to take
optimistic views of the situation, that
this weeks large shipments were to
meet part of the demands of next.
Yet there is no hope that the drain on
the reserve will cease for several
weeks.
