istration has been arrayed against it can
secure the support of the republicans Of
the country. The responses from demo.
Gratis show that they are widely divided
in their opinions. They are either bit
terly hostile to Mr.. Cleveland or warmly
favorable. The democrats who think he
may pe a third term candidate, however,
insist that it must be as the candidate of
som other party than their own. The
possibility Of Mr.. Claveland's candidacy
another term, however, is very remote.
1t is useless to deny that he has lest that
friendly favor Of the people which elected
him so overwhelmingly in 1892. AS a
candidate Of any other than the demo-
cratic party, he is out of the question.
In fact, as the candidate Of any party for
a third term, he should be out Of the
question, although the mans natural
egotism would probably induce him to
make the attempt for denomination, if he
saw the slightest chance of success.

Hon. JAMES McNAUGHT, who has for
some years been general solicitor of the
Northern Pacific, and, since the appoint
ment Of the receivers, has acted as their
principal attorney, has severed his con
nection with the road and is o prac-
ticing in New York city. Rumor also
has it that J. J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern, has gone to Europe with
a view of getting control of the Northern
Pacific. Should he succeed, the road
would probably be run on the present
Great Northern plans. The change would
be go marked as to entirely revolutlonize
the railroad business of the state. Bis
marck will get better service without
such change taking place.

Two years ago this week occurred the
great crash in 'sindustrials," which
us hered in the panic of 1898. Though
signs were not wanted previous to this
to show that q readjustment of values
on q lower basis was to be expected, the
actual dimensions Of the storm which
struck the market for those shares could
hardlyhave been foretold. The enormous
shrinkage in those securities certainly
did much to weaken confidence in lines
which would ordinarily not have been so
much affected if the sufferers had been
regular railroad stocks. It is doubtful
whether any similar period in modern
times has witnessed any such collapse in
share values as occurred during the week
ending May 6, 1893. During that week
% otton Oil fell Il points is, Sugar 40 points,
Tobacco22 points, Chicago Gas 26 points,
General Electric 4points, Lead 11points,
Rubber 20 points, and Cordage, the
heaviest sufferer, ~ points. In nearly
every case prompt advances from the
low panic price occurred within the week
mentioned, but even lower prices were
made before the year closed.

The republic of Nicaragua embraces
a territory of 48,500 square miles says
the Minneapolis Tribune, an area con-
siderably smaller than that of Mime
sofa, and a population which is usually
estimated at 100000, but which is be-
lieved to be actually somewhat smaller.
It is a country badly governed, subject
tofrequent revolutions, poorly developed,
and so poor in purse that almost any
village of a thousand inhabitants in
Minnesota could raise the sum of $4,000
with less difficulty. The idea of such a
country as this attempting to resist the
matchless power of the British empire,
is absurd. The only hope of her people in
pursuing such a course is manifestly
that of ultimate interference and protec-.
ton from the United States. IT the
British continue to occupy Nicaragua,
or any portion of it, when our congress
next meets, it is difficult to predict what
that body will have to say about it; but
so far, as the Cleveland administration is
concerned, it seems disposed to do moth
ing. Every American war ship has, ac-
cording to reports, been withdrawn from,
the vicinity of Nicaragua waters, on
both coasts. There is a wild report that
Great Britain intends permanent occu-;
patton and a protectorate. These re-
ports will not find ready %credence; but
if they shall prove to be true, there will
be q spirit aroused in this country which
will demand that Great Britain be deter
red from carry out such a purpose, even
at the cost Of war. Exciting events are
possibly at hand.

The advice Of Andrew jackson, SAYS

The advice Of Andrew jackson, says a
correspondent, given to Hon. Dick
Thompson, when a boy, stands in good
stead at this time on the money ques-
ton. To use Thompson's W words, he
says: General Jackson laid his hands
kindly upon my head and said:. MY
son. | have no advice to give you, as to
politics, only think for yourself, and let
conscience be your guide.'" A republic
is built upon the concrete assent of in
dividual thought and conclusion. Dan
ger and peril may Turk under a false and
unwise administration Of the govern
ment by it's servants, but it's foundations
are LAID upon the eternal bedrock Of
truth, and must stand forever. For this
reason it has loug been a political
maxim that External vigilance is the
price of liberty" Now, there are many
silver-tongued orators, who plead for
silver, and plenty of it, and there is
another class, who sing the siren song
of a"sound money, a safe currency" and
a single gold standard. Be not deceived
or lulled into any false security thereby;
as this government has sown, so shall it
reap. Remember that one pound Of
test and experience will be taken as
worth more than a ton of hollow
theories. Adopt the free coinage of
silver, say the oddities, and by the
Gresham laws Of circulation your de-
based silver dollar will drive out all
your good gold money. How do you
know that; have you tried it since the
act of the demonstration of silver? If
not, please hold your peace. Let the
chariot wheels of our nations prosper
ity run upon the double standard of free
gold and free silver upon terms Of an
exact equality before the law. What
law? The law of the mint and coinage,
conceived, carried out, and enacted into
law by that great statesman, Thomas
Jefferson, in 1792-durlng the first term
of Washington's administration. BIZ
metallism was. nations money with
out the counsel, aid or advice Of our old
enemy, Great Britain. from 1892 till
1873.

MAJOR j. s. Cole came to the city
yesterday, representing the chief of sup
plies of the N. D. N. g., and is engaged
today in taking an inventory Of the
property in the capitol building and
the arsenal belonging to the state militia.
The major went to Lisbon in 1881, and
has heen in the hardware business since.
In 1889 he was, with the editor Of the
TRIBUNE, a member of Battery A, and
was appointed from the ranks q major
on the generals staff, width position he
has now held for four years, and is one
of the most popular oficers-and de-

state. From a long and intimate ac-
quaintapce with Major Co!e, the editor
of the TRIBUNE can say he is all right.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Record gives some interesting facts rela.
tive to the South Carolina state LIQUOR
law. The main floor of the state dis
pensary has the appearance of a whole
sale liquor establishment, the front por-
ton being filled with high piles of pack
ing cases, while in the rear at the alley
entrance are several patent bottling ma
chimes and long tables at which a lot of
girls are FASTING labels upon bottles and
putting seals over the corks. Upstairs
in the front room are the commissioners
in charge of the state %dlspensary and
their clerks, as we'll as the officials of the
state department of agriculture, while
in a large back room, which seems to
have been originally intended for public
exhibitions and entertainments, is a col
lection of curlosities that illustrate the
ingenious methods smugglers have
adopted to evade the law and swindle
the state. There are cases of tomato
cans filled with whisky, sugar and oil
barrels with false bottoms that held a
few inches of sugar or kerosene, while
the rest Of the barrels were filled with
contraband whisky. There were also
paint kegs, large glass jars such as are
used for shipping chemicals and all sorts
Of packages. Demijohns have been found
concealed in barrels of -four, sugar and
meal, and5it has been a favorite ruse to
pack bottles of whiskey in hogsheads
and barrels Of bacon. Upon one occa-
sion over 5000 pounds of bacon had
been c%onfscated for being in such bad
company, and in one instance were found
bottles of whisky concealed in the car
cass of a bog. One man went to the.
trouble to have a tank fitted into a trav-
cling trunk, which he filled with whisky
and brought into the state, they don't
know how many times, checked as bag
gage. But it is very probable that a
great deal of smuggling escapes detec-
ton, because the official returns show
that the entire consumption of the state

ALERT: From perusal of the Bismarck
tribune 1T would be seen that the North
Dakota Press association, as far as it ever
did anybody or anything any good, never
amounted to much.
The TRIBUNE has said nothing from
which any such inference could fairly be
drawn. The editor of the TRIBUNE has
not the honor Of belonging to the Press
association, and therefore knows nothing
of its particular benefits; but, during a
thirteen-year residence in the state, con-
fesses he has heard but little of the ac-
ton of the association. The press asso.
citation was to have met at the opening
of the legislature at Bismarck, but the
meeting failed to materialize. It is hoped
the coming meeting will lie held. There
are many things that might be of inter-
est not only to publishers but to the
public, for which a meeting would be de-
sirable. The press association will
find no more loyal supporter than the
TRIBUNE if it will only get a move on
itself n hold regular annual meetings

ing at a guat and swallowing a,camel is

OF South Carolina Of wines and LIQUORS
from July l, 1883, when the law went
into force, to December 81, 1895, cost
only S127,929. The liquor sold at the
d~ispensaries for S224,9O1, and there was
a profit Of S96,972 to the treasury OF the
state. The official printed reports show
that only $23,2298 worth of whisky has
been sold in the city of Charleston dur
ing the last eighteen months, which is
most incredible, because before the dis
pensary law was enacted more than that

ton hotel alone. The agent IN charge of
the state %dispensary says that the sales
are now about $4,000 a week, which in
dictates a decided increase. But these
accounts have been questioned. The op-
ponents Of the ~dispensary law do not
hesitate to say that there has been a
great deal of swindling and stealing, and
that the commissioners themselves have
not the slightest idea of the amount of
business that has been transacted or the
sum of money that has been stolen under
the system. The books show that the
state agents now owe S99,778, which the
enemies of the law predict will be very
difficult to collect. They admit at head
quarters that the agents are very slow
in sending in their returns, aud that
some method must be adopted to compel
monthly settlements, but at the same
time they say that all the agents are
nnder bonds, and that the state will not
lose anything if they do net pay up as
promptly as they ought. The whisky is
bought in the open market at Baltimore,
Cincinnati and Louisville, but dlstilleries
in the state are given the preference,
although they produce nothing but the
lower grades, which, however, seem to
be the most popular. The state has
$4,000 capital invested in the business,
which was appropriated by the legisla-
ture when the %dlspensary scheme went
into effect in July, 1898.

alive tho fast dying of populism,
or at least the populist party, which,
through its crushing defeat last autumn,
and through the abandonment Of it by
most newspapers, has nearly fallen from
public sight in the state Of Colorado.
The paper, being Waite's, is naturally
lurid and its tone is revolutionary. It
will undertake, it says, to restore to
republican government the spirit and
motive of it's founders. Waite is op.
posed to the new silver party which
Jones, Stewart and Sibley are endeavor-
ing to form. In his opinion the silver
party is adressed-a p scarecrow, clothes
covering no body-votes. It is of the
youthful populist party, with its 2,O0O,-
600 votes and it's plank for free silver,
that the. republican elephant and the
democratic tiger are afraid. In his judg-
ment, for the populist party to restrict
its principles to q single idea, the l6 to l
of the silver party, would be to make q
retrogade movement that would drive
more supporters from the party
than it would bring recruits to it, and it
would be moreover an act of great
cowardice. Still he will lay no stumb-
ling block in the way Of the new party
in the hope that it may be the means Of
disintegrating the two old parties.

The oldest daily pepper in the two Da-
kotas is the Yankton Press and Dakotan.
1t passed its twentieth year a week or so
ago, and the following from its columns
proves the difference OF the then and
now:
public on the morning of April 26, 1876.
It was the pioneer daily of the two Da-
kotas, and was an outgroWth of the first
rush into the gold fields of the Black
Hills. All humanity, it seemed, was
crowding westward to delve in Dakota's
golden sands, and there was little doubt
in those days that the country would be
speedily and thickly populated from
Yankton to the embryo mining camps
of the new Ell dorado. In the after-light
of twenty years. experience it is plain
to be seen that a mining excitement
peoples only the region devoted to min
ing-that other factors must enter into
the upbuilding of a state. Twenty years
ago, the only railroad in what is nov
South Dakota was the line extending
from the Big Sioux to Yankton, owe the
level Missouri river bottom. The north
ern half Of the territory had also a rail.

west as Bismarck, and running tri week.
ly trains over the unpeopled waste which
has since been transformed into a gran
airy of wealth. Twenty years ago, the
only considerable towns in the the Da-
kotas we're Yankton, Sioux Falls, Fargo,
Grand Forks and Bismarck. Afewtiers
of counties northward from the Missouri
river and westward from the Big Sioux
and the Red were sparsely settled. All
the vast, interior region Of our state was
a silent, unoccupied realm, given over to
the antelopes and coyotes. All the up.
per Missouri river country was tribu-
tary to Yankton, and d magnificent fleet
OF boats went up and down, distributing
goods and transporting passengers. The
government paid for nearly everything
and military posts and Indian
agencies were the life of the river. This
was twenty years ago, when the daily
edition of the Press and Dakotan was
born.

GRAFTON News AND TIMES: Had our
members in the legislature done their
duty last winter, the erection of the
building for the feeble minded would
o be under way, and a large number
of our citizens, who need it, would get
employment. They had too much to do
looking after the creation of the Seventh
Judicial district, at the bidding of the
Walsh county steering committee"
Besides, the "Big -Four" wanted the
$4,000 for it's erection, now in the state
treasurer's hands, to remain in banks.
How does this correspond with campaign
promises?
From the above it would seem Walsh
county has at least one patient for a
feeble-minded instituticn-the writer of
the above article. The only question
before the legislature in relation to the
feeble-minded institution was the sub.
mission of a constitutional amendment
at the next election locating such in
stitution at Grafton, which was passed.
AS to the $4,000, it will draw interest if
it is in the banks.

The total population CT the city of

great many New Workers supposed and
hoped it would be. The figures are re-
garded by President Wilson, Of the
health department, and others expert in
such matters, as being approximately
correct. The annual increase of popu-
lation for the past five yeors is now
stated at 30,966, being calculated on the
increase from the police census of 1890
to the police census of 1895, and it is
thought to be substantially accurate,
there being so many reasons at9hand to
show chat no such increase as sanguine
citizens generally looked for was to be
expected during a period when. immi.
