HARDLY a paper comes to this
table that does not tell Of improve
ments being made in it's towns.
Buildings IRE going up, sidewalks
are being built, new stores are
opening, new enterprises are
being started and other evidences
of returning prosperity abound.
This is going to be a good year

"WHAT THEY MEAN."

The following from the st. Paul
Globe ought to be an eye-opener|
to those who talk so glibly OF IN
ternational bi-metallism:
owe note with some surprise that
the Pioneer Press is an advocate of
international bimetallism. Thom-a
as B. Reed and sundry other gentle
men who would like to have the
presidential lightning strike them
are sheltering themselves behind behind1s''
this glittering generality. 1t n nisss
convenient celler Of refuge for hard
pressed politicians to get into to3I
avoid the shock of the raging storm
We can understand and appreciate
their motives. They want votes
and they do not want to offend
voters. They want to aim their
opinions so as to hit the voter,
whether he is coming in or going
out. But unless the Pioneer Press,
is preparing to bow it's head again
we cannot understand why it should
lend its weight to this humbuggingl
dodge.
What does international bimstal-9
lism mean? Who has ever defined
1T? What will it do? What ratio
will it establish? If it takes the
commercial values Of the metals al
a ratio, we'll and good, but that il
not what is intended to be intsnded.a
That is, that the agreeing nations
will establish joint ratio at which
they will admit silver freely 81
their mints. No one attempts toa
say what this ratio shall or should
be, but everyone is loft to imAlyE
that it is the commercial one, BIT
something higher. Back of it az
is the certainty that England for
one, and probably Germany for
another, will not accsde to any

An Old Fossil Get Funny About the
society--sweet Clay Pancakes.
Editor CoURIER-DEMoCRAT.-
By an act of the last session of the
state legislature and the wise efforts of
our representatives at Washington, we
are placed in position to haye the
benefit of geological society in Penn
bina. have been told that move has
already been made to procure
geological specimens, and one of
our oldest citizens has promised
an antiquainted Red river cart, and 1
have no doubt you will at once see the
valuable acquisition this will make be-
sides the interest it will add to the
study Of the society. The chairman of
the society has been named by the leg
islature, and that body have manifested
wisdom in their choice. He is said to
have made the science study from his
youth and in his travels became ac-
quainted with tribe Of Indians who
had discovered an inexhaustible mine
of sweet clay from which nutritious
and healthy pancakes can be made and
thereby providing good wholesome
food, from which much of the distress
and loss, occssioned by hail and frost
to the farming community in the de-
struction of their crops will be pre-
vented. 1t will also tend to lessen the
annoyance experienced from the con-
slant application of tramps for some
thing to eat as they will then be able
to find bread. I have not yet been able
to ascertain what building the society
will use for it's meetings, but hope it
will be large enough to accommodate the
numbers that intend to be present at
its Inauguration. On which occasion
the chairman will in his opening ad-
dress demonstrate by an intelligent
dumb speech, the true meaning and
power of words that will convince all
present that tho white race is far be-
hind the Indians in science.

ROGER DENYs HIS CHILD
But Proofs Are Stubborn and, Will
Not Down

But Proofs Are Stubborn and Will
Not Down
In an interview had last week Gov.
Allin makes the following remarkable
able statement, anent the Seventh Ju-
dicial district bill, which passed the
late reform" legislature.
"Ihave tried to do my duty to the
whole people as l saw it, and if the peo-
pie would help their executive as freely
as they criticise there might not be so
many mistakes made. Now take the
case of the new judicial district bill.
Personally, l did not favor that bill,
and l held it until the last possible mo-
ment in the hope that some remon-
STRANGE would come from the people to
give me an excuse for veoting it. But
none came until the last day, and then
only half dozen names to a petition
that came by telegraph from Milton.
AS it was, it was next to the last bill
L gave my approval to-"
The above statement is only remark
able, however, in this, that His Excel
lency pays but little attention to facts,
and seems to have but poor opinion
of the memory of his constituents. The
governor with charming candor, states
that he was "agin" the bill all the time
and would have left Sauter out in the
cold if he only had half a chance. Well,
let us see how Cavalier county tried to
help him out of his dilemma? When
the question of division of the district
was first broached, our citizens to
man declared against any such scheme
aud to make their protest as emphatic
as possible, a petition was gotten up
and received the signatures of over a
hundred petitioners. 1t was then for
warded to Senator Plain and Represen-
tatives Jennings an Flack and was bv
them presented to the law-making
body of the state, through the. proper
channels. We might state here that
this petition ontained the names of all
the members of the bar in this county.
Afterwards petition was circulated
in the town of Milton and signed by
forty-one of it's leading citizens and
telegraphed direct to Governor Roger
Allin, asking him to veto the bill. A
reliable business man of Milton in
forms us that he will produce we'll
authenticated copy of this telegram at
any time or place that Governor Allin
may name.
Of course Governor Allin was not re-
quired to take cognizance of the
remonstrance filed with the legislative
body as notice to him, but for man
who is so anxious to be guided by the
people, and who so earnestly desired to
stamp his disapproval upon measure
so purely and notoriously political in
character, his excuses for following
the opposite course are nonsensically
childish i'll tone, utterly at variance with
the truth, and deliberately fraudulent
as to facts.

The reason the French ministry ha:
TO be changed SO often is that tbs
French government has large and in
creaslng deficit from year to year, Just
as the United States government has.
The deficit which the cabinet of M
Bourgeois has to face for this year il
SIS, GOO, 900, not counting the expenses
OF the Madagascar conquest, In add
ton there are the yawning deficits Of
past years and Of other cabinets. This il
merely floating debt, without any con
nectlon with the funded and other debts
OF France. AS With the United States,
some stringent measures must be adopt
ed to meet these growing annual defcien.
cies. The only way to do it is by addition
al taxation, either in the form Of internal
revenue or increased customs duties,
precisely as is the case with us. To fol-
low the parallel still farther, the French
assembly, cabinet and president are as
much afraid CT being unpopular by in
creasing taxation as some of our great
statesmen are. Consequently in France
one ministry succeeds another like the
changing figures in Kaleidoscope and
no one Of them is nervy enough to sus
gest enforcing the only means of meeting
the constantly increasing debt.
