BY the queens wish the room in the
Kensington palace where her majesty
was born, and which was closed for
years. has been specially done up this
year so as to present the exact appear
ance which 1t had in 1919. 1t is under
stood that her majesty will in the future
allow the room to be visited by special
friends Of the court. The gold and brass
work of the room, although much worn,
is still in a fair state of preservation.

under a heavy fine, except by written
consent of the owner of the matricula-
ton paper. The result Of this is that
the large planters often have thous-
ands of dollars lent out this way, with
the attendant risks of death and run
always, but with the advantage that,
when picking time comes, he can
have three or four hundred pickers in
the field promptly TO gather his crop,
while his small neighbor must suffer
and have his crop waste.
Many things have been tried to cure
the evil, but, so far, there has been
found only one cure, and that is
Asiatic help. Norwegians and Swedes
have been imported, but they could not
stand the LABOR, and all attempts to use
or import white laoo for coffee planta-
tions has proved failure. The reason
Is plain-Caucasian labor cannot and
never will be able to stand the hot
suns, hard living and harder labor OF
the tropics. Any attempt to supply
coffee plantations must, in the light of
all past experience, prove a signal
failure; the native and coolie must
ever remain a factor, and a very i'm
portant one, in coffee culture.
The Nicaraguan Government have,
until within two years, been opposed
to the i'm portation of coolie labor, but
the extension of the coffee interests
and its tremendous growth has
forced them to pass a law, under
proper restrictions, for the importa-
ton of coolies to work the coffee plan
tations. 1t has been clearly proven
in that country, without an unlimited
native or coolfe element to fall back
on for the plantations, coffee culture
is a failure; and the same conclusions
must hold good In any country where
like conditions exist.
Now q word as to wages. Men are
paid $40 to $12 month for picking;
other plantation labor So per month.
Men must pick $50 pounds of cherries
a day; women, 125 pounds; for all
additional weight picked they are
paid at the rate of B cents for each 100
pounds. All laborers find themselves.
The above mentioned prices are sill
yer, worth so cents on the dollar in
money. The average cost
of producing and shipping coffee is,
say, from the tree to the steamer,
S4.35 to $500 per hundred-weight,
emitting the bags, according to dis
lance shipped, or about $3.50 Amerl- |
can; add to this S1.55 more for freight |
and commissions, and So 20 will put |
your coffee in the New York market. |
leaving on an average a net profit of |
SO gold per 100 pounds.
In conclusion, L would say that in |
no business is the old adage that GALL |
is not gold that glitters" better ex-
than in coffee, and the man
who thinks he can run plantation
any practical experience, and |
either native or Asiatio labor,
Dr. with strictly Caucasian help, is

What Jewellers Know
About Sterling Silver

The fact that twelve of the
largest dry goods stores in New
York have been indicted for sell
ling bogus sterling silver goods
indicates how the public is de-
ceived in buying at such es'ab-
lishments. Jewellers knows from
whom to purchase reliable pro-
auctions; they know the latest
styles and they stand ready
to guarantee every article they
sell. Beware of so-called bar
gaine-they generally mean spu-
rious goods-every Genuine
piece Ousht to bear q we'll
known trade mark. The
fact that the dry goods stores
admit that they have been de-
ceived shows how little they
know concerning silver. Bear
this in mind. 1t is easy to see

BASEBALL SEASON.
Standing Of the ClubS-Six More
Games to be Played.

A glance at the appended table
which shows the standing of the
respective baseball clubs, will
demonstrate that this seasons play
has been somewhat more equal
than previous years. There are six
more games to be played-fve
regular and one postponed-and
the championship may be won by
either club.
At present the Unknowns are
one game ahead, and, if that club
said to be the weakest before the
season began-continues to play as
good ball for the balance of the
season as during the first part, they
may be able to carry off the pen
nant of 1895.
The Stars are practising steadily
and have been considerably
strengthened by the addition of
Percy Lishman. Captain CAMEL
says his club will win the cham
pionship if it can be done by play
ing good ball.
The Kams are likewise confident
of victory, and will endeavor to
come out ahead. Captain Mahuka
will return from his honeymoon in
time to play in next Saturdays
game with the Stars.
Attendance at the games has
materially increased lately and
will likely be still better during
the remaining games.

INTERNATIONAL ACTION PRE-
FERRED.


Let me state emphatically that so far as
1 know there is no genuine bimetallist in
this country who would not prefer con-
certed to independent action and who
would not earnestly approve all honest
efforts to secure a speedy International
agreement for the free coinage of gold
and silver. Certainly I should much pre-
fer that solution of the problem, and I
desire again clearly to announce that I
hope for the adoption of that method
and shall, if opportunity affords, labor to
my utmost in that direction. The recent
overwhelming success of the Conservative
party in the English elections, in which
bimetallism was prominently brought be-
fore the electors, and the accession to
power of statesmen long identified with
that cause; the strong position of the
legislative bodies of Germany the we'll
known bimetallic preferences of the ener-
getic young emperor, and the undoubted
popular favor enjoyed by the doctrine of
bimetallism in that empire; and the I'M
mistakable growth of similar sentiment
throughout the world, inspire me with
what seems a reasonable hope that an
International conference may assemble
next year composed of delegates from
the leading nations accredited with ample
powers.
WOULD CUT THE GORDIAN KNOT.
If, however, that hope is to be disap-
pointed; if the gold owners of the world
shall be able to prevent such a consum-
nation then I have to say that I shall
favor cutting the Gordian knot, and that
the United States of America, the home
of free men, the hope of the sacred cause
of self-government the richest, strongest
country on the face of the EARTH shall
lead the way out from under the tyranny
of the single gold standard. I should not
expect it to be done without some hard
ships, though I hope to show that there
is good reason to think them very much
overestimated by timorous bimetallists;
while, as for many of the grewsome pro-
phecies of the gold men, they are as
purely creatures of fancy as the nursery
bogie-man. Our good sense should teach
us to discount literally much Of the ad-
vice that is born of obvious self-inter-
est. Much, indeed, that passes for pre-
diction is only menace covertly suggested.
If we are eternally to submit to con-
dition demonstrably certain to produce
the ruin of our country, because the men
who are defending that condition and

dollars are in circulation, we have BIZ
country. This is a totally false concep-
ton, as false as it would be to assume
that we have paper standard because
limited number of greenbacks are af1oat.
The 'goldbugs' have no change Of
standard in contemplation. They are sat-
isfied with the present posture of affairs,
so far as that goes. The expulsion Of
everything but gold as real money took
place in 1878, and continues unabated."
Thus, fellow citizens, the issue is made
up between those who propose to con-
tinue on the ever-appreciating gold
standard, and those who desire to stop
that appreciation by removing silver
from it's subordinate place as a. credit or
token money, taking that much strain off
from gold. and restoring the white metal
to it's equal station with gold as standard
money; thus broadening the basis on
which credit may rest, equalizing the va
riations in the production of the metals,
stopping the rapid fall of prices and the
automatic increase Of debts, and lessen
ing the frequency and severity of money
panics resulting from what the Pioneer
Press so fittingly calls 1.-THE mad rush

METHODS.
How shall this be done? There are,
broadly speaking, two ways proposed: 1.
By an agreement among all the leading
commercial nations opening their minis
to the free coinage Of both gold and sill
yer; 2. BY the initiatory action of the
United States, with such assistance as
may be afforded by the concomitant or
successive action Of such other powers as
shall be disposed to cooperate. Unques-
tionably the concurrence Of all the
great nations would render the resto-
ration and maintenance of silver upon
an equal footing with gold at the his
toric. ratio Of 151a to or 16 to 1, is entirely
practicable. I know there are some who
hold the contrary, but their numbers
are small and their reasons absurd. There
are others who desire an International
agreement only for the purpose Of fasten-
ing the sold standard on the world by
universal system Of gold primary money
with silver as token or subsidiary coin.
Though the number of such is as yet
small, they will soon be joined by all the
gold standard supporters. Universal do

Riley and the Thistle,

William D.. Riley of Philadelphia, not
satisfied with his first sweeping instruc-
lions to the governors of the states of
North and South Dakota as t. methods
of DISCRIMINATING Russian thistles. has
sent another letter of plans and specif-
cations. He goes into detail again, but
his principal plan this time is to use q
portable furnace, carrying along a boiler.
He would provide himself with a num-
Der of iron rods, which he would heat
red hot in the furnace and burn a hole
through the thistle, and then give the
thistle an injection of hot water from
the boiler into the hole made by the hot
rod. He also wants the seed part of the
thistle removed and the plant left stand
ing, to see what the results of frost
would be on the denuded plant. He
thinks that railroad companies should
be compelled to destroy the thistles
along their lines by sending out engines
supplied with the hot rods and prepared
to apply the hot water injections from
the boiler. The TRIBUNE published the
other day the first outbnrst Of wisdom
from Mr. Riley on this same subject, and
now, for the benefit Of the farmers in
this state it publishes this second efu-
sion, out Of a desire to keep it's readers
thoroughly posted in the progress which
is being made in the sta nping out of the
thistle pest. It is evident, though, from
MI. Riley's plans, that he is not yet fully
acquainted with the characteristics and
habits Of the bird. In behalf of the
state, therefore, the TRIBUNE would ex-
tend a cordial invitation to Mr.. Riley to
come out to North Dakota, and bring
along one Of his portable boilers and q
supply of hot irons. The state will fur
| nish the thistles, and Mr.. Riley could
browse among 'em and experiment.
These long-range instructions are futile.
Let Mr.. Riley appear upon the scene
with his weapons and throw down the
gauntlet to the thistle. Should he
escape the insane asylum, he might find
a winters occupation ahead of him.

Humane Work in North Dakota.
Minneapolis Tribune: The second
days proceedings of the American HUI
name association were inaugurated this
morning by a comprehensive paper from
Mrs. j. M. Bartholomew of Bismarck.
The report dealt with the history of
humane work in North Dakota, which,
considering the obstacles in the way of
a new state, has been considerable. Mrs.
Bartholomew said there was great need
Of humane work in the Dakotas. There
was much to do and but little time in
which to do it. In sparsely settled locali-
ties long drives were necessary, and the
tendency to haul great loads, beyond the
strength OF the horses, was irresistible.

In oil, contracts for about $4,000 acres
have been cancelled by the board this
year, but it is hoped nearly all this land
will be redeemed before the end of the
year, though the board has no means of
knowing the outcome. Among the de-
%linquents, n is surprised to see the
names of several prominent bankers and
men whose exchequers are supposed to
be plethoric of interest money.
At the same meeting Of the board the
land commissioner was directed to sell
all the land possible this fall, in order
that the United States land Office filing
fees may be paid out of the present
$4,000 appropriation credited the land
department., as, after the code goes into
effect, the appropriation becomes re-
duced to $4,000 per annum, and it will
be impossible to make any selections
after that date until the legislature H.
creases the appropriation for maintain
ing the land department.. About $4,000
will be required for filing fees.
Under an alleged act of congress-, the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroad companies have taken possess
sion 1854 1900 acres of land in this
state for right-of-way purposes through
the various school sections, and refuse
to pay therefor. The general land office
has been requested to allow the state to
select lands in lieu, but declines, and
says the state must recover from the
companies. Upon the recommendation
OF the land commissioner the board has
instructed the attorney general to look
into the matter, and, if necessary, bring
suit against the companies. The land
seized lies principally in the Red River
valley and is easily worth 500 an acre,
making a sum the state can Ill afford to
lose.

Judge Winchester went out to Dickin-

man Fredericks, who has been arrested
for oattle-stealing. The cast of Fred
ericks exemplifies' the wisdom of har-
mony in domestic affairs, and the 6is-

who is a ranchman, filed an application
for divorce from the wife of his bosom.
That individual, righteously indignant
at this aspersion upon her desirability
as a wife, retaliated by informing the
cattlemen Of the vicinity that her hus-
band had been engaged in "rustling,"
and specified a place where they would
find the hides of some of the cattle he
had killed, in proof of her assertion.
Fredericks got wind Of the exposure
and skipped, in company with another
woman. He was followed to Canada,
from which place he skipped again, and
was finally rounded up in Montana, from
which place he was brought back to

there soon after the discovery of gold

REGARDING LAND.
Some Interesting Facts and Figures
COncering the States End0w-
ment OF Land.
Value of Lands Owned by the State,
and Income From Interest
and Rent.
Anent "a lands

Few citizens OF the state realize the
magnificent endowment North Dakota
possesses for her public schools and in
situations of an educational and charl-
table nature in the common school lands
and those granted for specific purposes.
There is no way Of estimating the area
of the common school lands until the
survey of the state has been completed.
There have been 13O,474 acres of school
land sold for the handsome sum of
S2,310,O5280, which has been invested in
state and district school bonds bearing
six per cent interest. These lands were
sold on twenty years time;one-tifth cash
and the balace in four equal payments;
the deferred payments bearing SIX
per cent interest, payable on the first
day of January in advance. The lands
remaining unsold are annually leased as
far as possible for periods ranging from
one to three and five years at such
figures as may be bid for them above the
minimum price established by law. The
receipts from interest and rentals are
apportioned pro rata to the various
school districts and it will thus be seen
that the money paid by school districts
to the state returns to them in the course
of time and there will eventually be
neither school taxes mol school debts.
From an interesting report giving the
receipts and expenditures of the state
land department, for the year ending
October l, 1895, prepared by Deputy
Land Commissioner Walter F. Cushing,
the following points are cleaned.
