The report that President Cleveland
is to be urged to the acceptancy of a
third term by those among the demo-
cratic leaders in accord with his views,
will not receive any great amount Of con.
sideration. In the first place, we're this
but Mr.. Cleveland's first term, it is a
matter of grave doubt whether he could
be elected again, we're even the strongest
of influences brought to bear. And as
a third term candidate, he is simply out
of the question. The president Is GER
tainly not egotistical enough to believe
himself available as a third term candi-
date, and should he so far forget him.
self as to work to the securing of an
other nomination., he will be rebuked by
the mass of voters in a way which will
put an end to third term talk for another
quarter of a century.

kerr HARD1E, the English socialist
and labor leader, is in Chicago, and re-
ceives ovations from certain classes. Mr..
Hardie perhaps finds his work profit
able, as there are always misguided
workers in the ranks who are willing to
contribute literally to the assistance OF
the walking delegate. If Mr.. Hardie
has any genuine reforms to suggest, and
will forbear from the rant and cackle
which is peculiar to men of his stamp,
he will find an audience of level headed
citizens who will consider what he has
to say. If, on the contrary, be is look
ing for trouble, and hopes to precipitate
labor disturbances and promote dissent
and dissatisfaction, the quicker he ambles
back across the water with his knicker-
bockers, the better it will be, both for
himself and those who are likely to be
led astray by his rantlng.

INEQUALITY of taxation has been the
complaint of the poor and the hope of
the rich since government began. The
farmer whose property is all in sight and
can be seen by the assessor must expect
that the corporation whose property is
scattered not only through the counties
but through states will escape in part
the public burden, but he has a right to
expect that public servants will not 60
below the amount corporations deem
just in making assessments. Certain it
is that different representatives OF rail-
roads in North Dakota we're willing to
pay tax on a higher assessment than
was made by the last board. The Fargo
Argus says, 1.-THE TRIBUNE is sore about
the railroad assessment" No, The TR1B.
N is not sore, the farmer has to pay
the tax, and if he can stand it the TR1B-
UNE can,

fortune; for, with the inevitable higher
prices, the net return to the planters
will be much better than that of the
larger crops which sold so low that
virtually no profit was made on them,
This promise Of a prosperous agr1cul-
tural year means a great deal for the
commercial and financial situation. It
is the realization of the one condition
for which conservative men have been
waiting as the condition precedent to a
more complete restoration of confidence.
1t not only confirms the improvement in
affairs up to the present time but also
justiies the hope of its uninterrupted
continuance until the next harvest at
least; the prospect to business men ia
consequently most encouraging. The
railroads are already beginning to show
a very general return to the old scale Of
earnings; and, with the larger trade to
result from a good harvest, it is safe to
expect yet larger increases of both
freight and passenger traffic from this
time forward. 1t goes without the say
ing that these wholesale developments
OF business are destined to still further
enhance the value of securities, especial.
~ those which are dependent upon the
movements of commerce, which means
especially railroad and sound industrial
stocks.

The Butte Miner kicks because there
are 10000 Americans stranded IN Lon
don, owing to their inability to secure
passage on the steamships which accom-.
modate the trans. Atlantic travel, and re-
marks that if these sightseeing people
would pay more attention to their own
country and less to the old, they would
be better informed, ana suffer fewer en-.
barrassments as a result of crowded
steamships. 1t is safe to say, continues
the Miner, that of the 10000 people who
are stranded in London, not 500 have
seen the Yellowstone national park, the
most wonderful tract of land in the
world. There is nothing in Europe to
compare with the m~arve]sP of the Yellow
stone park, and yet thousands of Ameri-
cans who have never seen this land of
magic and who know comparatively
little of the charms, beauties and phe-
nomena of their own country, rush away
to Europe every year for the purpose of
"seeing the beauties of nature" and
learning something about the natural
wonders of the world.

AT the Bar Association convention in
Detroit, President Carter struck a key
note in discussing legislation. "There
are large numbers also of free societies."
he said, with whom law-making amounts
to a passion. In our easy-going legisla-
lures, too much engrossed with party
and personal schemes, it is easy to in
duce acquiescence in proposals for new
laws upon subjects not fit for legislation.
I attribute these errors in legislation
principally to the two causes already
mentioned, which are closely allied to
each other-frst, the common passion
which atf1icts SO many of framing new
laws; and second, the disposition or the
willingness common to all legislatures of
acting upon matters that are not proper
subjects of legislation at all. / know of
nothing more needed among us than a
deepened conviction that the sphere of
legislation, like that of other forms of
human activity, has its proper limits,
which can never be- exceeded without
mis- chief, and a sufficient knowledge of
what these limits are"

The Mandan Pioneer makes a good
point when it says there is too much
raw material shipped out of North Da.
kota. It thinks there should not be a
starch mill east of the Mississippi river.
All the potatoes needed for the starch of
the world can be proftably raised in
North Dakota. The farmers of Kansas
are feeding tomatoes to hogs, and eating
canned tomatoes raised and canned in
New York state. Vegetable canneries
and starch factories ard creameries
should be established in western states.
It is true that capital is needed for these
enterprises. Every encouragement
should be given to the mar who will
turn raw material grown here into
finished articles. This state should be
the paradise for the miller. The butter
maker and cheese maker should get
rich here. Why don't they?

ONE thing which will have been no
ticed by the consumer in this state, and
indeed in many other states, and that is
that a great share of the finer quality of
fruit now comes from the west, instead
OF the east, as was formerly the case.
The season for western fruit is about
over now, but, while it has lasted, the
shipments of western fruit through to
the east has been larger than ever. In
deed, Pacific coast fruit is now sent clear
across the continent, and it has been a
business experiment that has paid the
fruit men a net profit of $500 per car
load. They have sold their fruit to good
advantage and made money after paying
the freight rates. They claim that with
refrigerator cars they a send a great
many cherries and strawberries to the
eastern markets and sell them to advan-
vantage, because their exceptional quail
ity places them beyond the rivalry of
eastern fruit when both are in the same
market.

The Railroad Record, a Philadelphia
publication, which is pretty we'll posted
in the affairs of the Northern Pacific,
thinks the time is now ripe for that road
to reorganize itself. It says "the work
should be done by a committee of it's
preferred stockholders, cooperating with
a committee of the junior b%ondholders.
The organization can now safely be
based on net earnings of six millions a
a year. This will pay the interest on
the first and second mortgage bonds and
leave a little over two millions for the
junior bonds and the receivers certifi-
Gates. With it's present volume Of bust
ness the Northern Pacific would be earn
ing its full fixed charges if it were get
ting the rates it got before the Great
Northern reached the Pacific coast and
began to cut the tariffs. 1t is a great
earning property, and in two or three
years, with a general revival of business,
it will again earn at least eight millions

To A representative of the jamestown
Capital, a day or two ago, ex-senator
Pierce declared his abandonment OF
politics and his desire to be known
simply as a newspaper man. "Under
no circumstances would I again accept
a political Office" he said. "There is
more money and more peace of mind to
be found in private life, while in the
newspaper business there are ever
greater opportunities to serve the people.
For the present I shall look after per
sonal business affairs, and perhaps en-
gage later in a newspaper venture. In
any event 1 expect to remain a resident
of the great northwest"

To-Day being the first working day
after the first of September, is probably
the time set by Sovereign, OF the Knights
of Labor, for all workingmen to refuse
national bank notes in payment for their
services. By this means MI. Sovereign
hopes to force them out of circulation
and crowd the banks to the wall. The
idea Is such a one as might have been
suggested by an overgrown school boy,
and the man, if any there shall be, who
refuses to accept the notes in payment
of his hire, is not up to the standard of
intelligence which has always been main
tanned by the American workingman.

The republican party in the next cam
paign should be a unit. Let all bicker-
ing, quarreling and jealousy be settled
and at an end. When the convention is
held let the campaign for the party
begin. The TRIBUNE would suggest that
the republican papers of the state, who
will in fact be the educators of the voter,
form a league and SO arrange matters as
to work in perfect harmony for the good
of the party. Such an organization
would be mutually beneficial to all. Let
the subject be agitated.

The statement that VIM. L. Wilson is
President Cleveland's candidate to lead
the democracy in the next campaign,
will be received by the republicans with
no small degree of satisfaction. Mr..
Wilson helped lead the democracy right
after the last democratic victory and he
led the rank and file of the party into a
tangle from which they have not yet
been able to eXtricate themselves, and
tied it with a tariff knot which the teeth
OF the united democracy has so far been
unable to unite. Still, it may be that
Grover, not looking for anything him
self, would be pleased to see the democ,
racy under such leadership.

$40 miles in 512 minutes. While this
is a pretty good rate of speed-for the
English-they should note that the New
York Central has run the Empire State
Express 102 miles'in a single hour. One
of the trains on that road covered 1884
miles in 439119 minutes, including all
stops. The actual running time on a
stretch of 408 miles was 68.63 miles an
hour. Thus it will be seer that the
English will have to hustle their trains
along a little faster, If they wish to keep
in sight of some of the American flyers.

The triumph of Senator Quay over his
opponents in Pennsylvania appears to be
complete. His victory stamps him as
one of the greatest political leaders and
generals of the time, and not only ia this
one Of the greatest personal victories
ever won by an American political
leader, but it is a result of tremendous
consequences to the country at large. 1t
establishes Senator Quay as the undis.
puted leader of Pennsylvania republican
ism for many years to come. It will
give him control of at least two-thirds OF
the delegates to next years national
convention, ard his strength and the
towering prestige Of Pennsylvania vote
are likely to be thrown for Mckinley.

WHAT THE HARVEST HAS BEEN.
The present is the most prosperous
year North Dakota has seer since adj
mission to statehood. From every county
in the state comes reports of a most
bountiful harvest. There has been more
corr planted than ever before in one
year, and it is so far advanced as to be
an assuredly successful crop. From the
western counties M reports that live
stock has done better this year than in
any previous season, and present pros
poets are that the people will have a
large surplus after paying interest and
other charges that go out of the state.
While it is not expected that our i'm
mems crops will create an old-time
boom, certain it is that more inquiry is
being made by eastern investors than
has been for some years. There is but
Il thing for our people to do and be
right. That is to keep near shore, as it
were. Keep down expenses and avoid
going in debt. Pay past obligations and
do not attempt to spread out too much
for another year. There is no reason
why, with another good crop, we may
not expect not only a material advance
in the price of real estate, but we may
also expect a material increase in our
population by immigration from older
and less prosperous states. A great
amount of advice is given the farmer
about the time to sell his crop, by board
of trade men and others whose self-in-
terest dictates their advice. No man
a properly advise the farmer about the
sale of his crop unless he is at the time
advised of the financial condition of the
person he advises. There are SO many
things to be taken into consideration in
determining what is best to be done.
that no neighborhocd or community ad.
vice is worth considering. When crops
are bountiful the merchant, the me-
chanic and the laborer prosper. Pros
perity brings contentment, contentment
brings happiness, and happiness brings a
correct life and the RELOCATION Of the
crank and the pesslmist to the rear.
With confidence re-established at home
and credit regained abroad, u people
can say "the harvest has indeed been a
bountiful one"

DURING the last campaign, Attorney
General Cowan and other speakers
pledged the people in their public
speeches that, should the republican
party be successful, the unjust discrimi-
nation between the taxation of indi-
vidual and corporate property INDUCED
in by the populists should be corrected.
At the late meeting of the board of
equalization this was attempted by the
members of the board, who held their
Office by virtue of an election by the
people, but the appointed members of
the board willed it otherwise, and a
lower rate of valuation than even the
railroads asked was fixed. Certain per-
sons interested in behalf of the tax
payers of the state are now forming
plans for the organization of a tax
payers league, who will endeavor to
have the next state convention declare
itself upon the subject in no uncertain
terms. Governor Allin, General Cowan
end Auditor Briggs all agreed that the
railroads of the state should have been
assessed at a higher rate, if they are to
pay propcrtionate to other interests.
The people will now take a hand in the
matter. Lincoln once said: "You can
fool all of the people some of the time,
and some Of the people all of the time;
but you can't fool all the people all the
time"

A DELEGATION of Fargo's solid men
went to st. Paul III a special car the
other morning for the purpose of confer
ring with j. j. Hill on matters of i'm
portance to the eastern section of North
Dakota. The object Of the pilgrimage
was to take preliminary steps toward in
ducing President Hill, if possible, to
build a line from Fargo to Ripon. to
connect with the Mayville branch and
make a number of good towns tributary
to Fargo. AS it now stands, these towns
cannot be reached by rail from Fargo,
except by the Northern Pacific. or by
descent to Wahpeton and up over the
branch, or by going around to Larimore
and then down. The merchants of
Fargo and of other towns, feel that it
would inure to the beneftto the towns,
on the Mayville branch and to the ad-
vantage of Fargo as a distributing point,
if such line were built. Upon their re-
turn to Fargo, the men we're interviewed
by the Forum, and they all report q
very pleasant audience with Jim, who
left 'em the impression that he had
secured control of the Northern Pacific.
AS n of them expressed it: "Mr. Hill
expresses great confidence in the consum-
nation of the Northern Pacific deal. He
says he can do betterlfor the peopleif the
two roads are controlled by him, than
though they were managed separately.
For instance, in the matter of making
connections where the two roads inter
sect. As now they seek to avoid, but
then they would manage to connect.
Mr.. Hill says the word consolidation
does not give the correct idea of the
proposed union-he says it's more in the
nature of--sharmonlzing interests In this
way he hopes to avoid legal compIica-
tions, yet secure what be was AFTER"
The business men think they'll get what
they went after-in time.

Tribune, says, in commenting upon the
report, which was originated some days
ago, as follows:
A North Dakota paper recently mention
ed the name of Ex-Gov. Burke, now of
Duluth, as a prospective candidate for the
United States senatoTship, and suggested
that it was possible that he might move
back into the Flickertail state under
promise OF a senatorial toga. The News
Tribune does not believe all the political
promises in the world would induce Gov.
Burke to forsake Duluth. He told this
paper less than two week since that poll
tics is a will-o'-the-wisp, and that he pro-
posed to devote his future to his business,
which is that. of handling grain, in which
he will endeavor to make all the money he
honestly can.
