OFFICIAL PAPER BURLEIGH co.

The Horr-Harvey debate continues to
continue, and the principals have come
down to the present time in their discus
sions. Much of it appears to be OF the
you're another" style, as, for example,
in the discussion of silver production,
Hr. Harvey asserted it cost on the aver
age nearly 50 an ounce to mine silver.
Mr.. Horr quoted statistics to show it
had been mined at a cost as low as ID
cents an ounce, and held it to be a bust
ness proposition that the mining of sill
yer would not proceed if it we're being
conducted at a loss. 1t could be mined
at a profit at less than 60 cents per ounce,
but the free silverites demanded the
whole people should pay $1.29 an ounce
for it. This he considered class legisla-
ton of a vicious order. Mr.. Horr showed
that corn had increased in product and
value since demonstration, and MIR.
Harvey showed that wheat had de-
creased. Mr.. Horr argued that silver had
decreased in price along with other COM
modities because of owe production, and
Mr.. Harvey held that legislation hac de-
creased it's price. But for it's demoneti-
cation the farmer today would receive
the same as the farmer in Mexico, about
Sl25 for 100 bushels of wheat instead of
S67. This point was Immediately seized
upon by Mr.. Horr, who asserted, and
the audience applauded approval, that
the American farmer could take the
dollars received for his 100 bushels of
wheat and quickly exchange them with
the Mexican farmer for the larger mum.
Der Of the Mexican dollars he received.
One held that the average price OF farm
products had increased since demoneti-
cation, the other that it had decreased.
It is not probable that there will be any
great conversion of sentiment IN the de-
bate. for it is difficult to convince a be-
lever on either side of his false position.
But with the increase of work in the ma
ton, there will be less time for agitation,
and the matter will be settled, as have
the others which have come at intervals
to create a general disturbance. That
the credit Of the nation and the stability
of it's currency will be maintained, no
one will dispute. In fact, the interest in
the matter of a change in the nations
financial system is even now waning.
The agitation will gave way to a sound,
business-like consideration of the ques-
ton, and the TRIBUNE is patriotic enough
to believe the action of the republican
party, at least, will be for the public
good.

AS To the extent of the damage from
smut in wheat in the Red river valley,
reports are conflicting, although the
latest says the damage will not be as
great as was first thought. The crops in
the valley have prospered SO far, and, it
is 70 be hoped, for the benefit of those
whose prospects have led them to expect
a yield above the average, that no dis
appointment of this kind will come upon
them. The wisdom of care in selecting
seed-of careful and watchful farming
in SHORTS made evident, however; by
these reports of the appearance of smut.
Where the danger is likely to occur, ex-
traordlnary precautions should be adopt
ed to guard against it.

seeds recently submitted we're rejected.
The change is officially estimated to in
volve a saving of about 100000 a year.

The revocation of the reciprocity
treaty by Spain, together with the I'M
poverished condition of the sugar in
dustry, has reduced imports from United
States to Cuba, with the exception of
coal and lumber, with small cargoes of
-four, to insignificant figures as compared
with other years. Coal valued at $780,
236 and lumber at sl4,812 were imported
during the year. sit is unfortunate
says Consul Barker, in a report to the
state department, "that such a check has
been put upon the importation of Amer
lean flour in Cuba. Under existing re-.
q%uirements of SPANS import duties on
American products shipped direct to
Cuba, -four is brought from Spain for
s1.50 per bag of 200 pounds less cost
than it can be imported from the United
States direct. Yet those who can afford
it buy the American -four, it's grade be-.
ing SO far superior, and even the bakers
doing the trade of the better class use
American -four" MI. Barker says that
American -four could and should, in his
opinion, be made the largest of the i'm
ports from the United States. But it
cannot be done while the present tariff
law stands in the way. The disregard of
the reciprocity provisions of the old
tariff law by the present administration,
has cost the United States the greater
share of its export flour trade with the
Cubans,

"THE misuse of the American flag" is
a little pamphlet published 10y the ILL
nois Society of Colonial wars, which has
been sent the TRIBUNE. This pamphlet
is a result of a bill introduced in the
Fifty-third congress, by Senator Hans
brough of this state, making it a pun
ishable mlsdemeanor to use the national
flag for advertising purposes, with a
view of private gain by public display.
The bill, according to Senator Mitchell
of Wisconsin,, was not intended to be
acted upon until the public sentiment
regarding it was ascertained, and it is
the purpose of the society in question to
cur the passage of a bill, preventing
the use of the flag for other than legiti.
mate or practical purposes. Sentiment
ally the idea is a nice one, although it
is doubtful whether the principles which
are represented by the emblem can be
perverted by the misuse of the simple
token. Still, when 1t is set forth by the
pamphlet in question, that the flag is
used to advertise book beer, soul mash,
and bicycles-is trademarked by a linen
firm, and used with equal equanimity
for draping a living picture, decorating
a circus clown, ~bespangling the trunks
OF a prize fighter, floating from the
tower of a lemonade tank and adjoining
the waist of a professional athlete, it will
be seen that there is cause for the COM
plant which has been raised.

The death Of Pierre Bottinenu at Red
Lake Falls, Mimi, remove another of
the most conspicuous of the pioneers
and early settlers in the northwest. He
was born 81 years ago, or the Turtle
river, in this state, his father being in
the employ of the Hudson Bay COM
pany. He became one of the best known
scouts in the country, and in 1853, when
Gen. Isaac I. Stevens was sent out to
survey a route for the Northern Pacific
railroad, he asked General Sibley to
recommend to him a guide to lead the
party from st. Paul into the Yellowstone
country. Sibley recommended Bottineau,
and 80 we'll did he discharge his duties
that General Stevens spoke of him in
his report as 'the most efficient and adj
mirable selection that could have been
made" He was General Sibley's prin-
eipal guide and chief of scouts in the
military expedition into North Dakota
in 1868. He also guided Captain Fisk's

was conceded that his knowledge Of the
country and general intelligence in his
speciality was of the greatest value on
the perilous trip. In 1869 he piloted
Gov. J. Gregory Smith, then president
of the Northern Pacific railroad, and his
party of directors and others from St.
Paul to Fort Stevenson, at the "big
bend" Of the Missouri river, and on the
return. Bottineau is the father of J. B.
Bottineau, the attorney, who is we'll
known in this state through the Turtle
Mountain Indian claims, wherein he is
interested. Twice married, he has had
twenty-seven children, some ten of whom
are yet living.

GRAND Forks adopts a very sensible
plan to solve the problem Of caring for
the unemployed. Some city improve.
ments are needed, and provisions have
been made to furnish idle men with
work sufficient to supply the needs Of
the laborers. This Is both charitable
and practical, and if any Of the unem-
ployed do not yearn for work, they may
be escorted out of town without cere-
mony. The unfortunate man who has
no means OF subsistence, but is willing
to work if opportunity offers, should be
aided. The professional tramp should
be dealt with without gloves-made to
work OF move on.

That North Dakota University.

Eighteen miles north of the city, on
the bank of the Missouri river and over
looking it's muddy waters, are several log
buildings, of considerable size, but evil
dencing disuse and decay. One of them
especially is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of
upright logs, after the fashion of a log
s%tockade, and enclosing a large area. The
roof of this building is composed of huge
cottonwood logs, a foot in diameter and 80
to 40 feet in length. These are peculiarly
laid, there being at the bottom a number
of them placed side by side, and length
wise Of the structure. These are covered
~transversely with a number of smaller
poles and brush, and then comes another
parallel section of logs, but not quite so
wide as those first laid. Then more cross
pieces, and then more logs, until the roof
is surmounted at the top with one mann
moth log, and the building is thus adorned
with a slanting roof, which, however, is
incomplete, since large apertu1es between.
the logs let in the wind and rain.
This, it may be remarked before going
further, is the main building of the North
Dakota university, the president of which
is now in trouble, through a misunder-
standing with the authorities, as to the
exact status of the institution. The uni
versity idea appears to have rooted itself
firmly in the mind of the president, else
why this expenditure of time and trouble
in the erection of such a building. It has
stood for years, SO say the residents of the
locality, a monument to higher education,
and to the mistaken energy of its founder.
There are also some smaller buildings
in the locality, of the same material and
similar modes of construction, which are
designated dorrnitories. They were
builded at the same time as the main
structure, and with, perhaps, the same
idea-the ultimate founding of an institu-
ton of learning which should be magnifi-
cent in extent and liberal in purpose
the higher education of the masses, when
support should materialize, and stately
brick or stone structures take the place of
the primitive log buildings.

A NOVEL TEST of electricity versus
steam was made recently on the Nan
tasket Beach branch of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad. The
line is six miles long and extends from
Old Colony House to Stony Beach. A
heavy train, to which was attached a
steam locomotive at n end and an
electric motor at the other, was let loose,
and engine and motor made to do their
best in opposite directions. The electric
attachment easily got away with train
and locomotive, though the latter was
under a full head Of steam.

Topic For the Week Beginning July 28
Comment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.
ToPIo-our Christian journey-helps and
hindrances.-Nnth vii, 10, Ia John xiv. 10.
This life has often been compared to
pilgrimage or n journey. In answer to
Pharaoh's question concerning his age,
Jacob said, ''The days of the years Of
my pilgrimage are 1870 years. " Christ
also spoke of the Christians journey
from earth to heaven in the same way
where He said, II am the way" The
Christians life resembles a journey in
many particulars, not least Of which is
the fact that as on an important journey
we are likely to meet sonis difficulties
and obstacles, and some things that cheer
and encourage us, so also it is in the
Christian life. These hindrances and
helps are to occupy cur attention.
/. The Hindrances (Math. vii, 13, LAY.
These hindrances are here placed before
us in twofold light. The Christian
journey is difficult to begin and to con-
tinue in, while, on the other hand, the
opposite way is easy to enter and to fol-
low. The first great hindrance to the
Christian life is the fact that it is so
much easier to travel the other way
"Wide is the gate and broad is the way
that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be that go in thereat. " 1t is easier
to do wrong than to do right. II is easier
to live sinful life than n sinless one.
Our natural desires, the influences Of
life about us all tend to draw us from
God rather than to Him. Broad and
wide and easy is the wrong way. The
second hindrance lies in tho fact that
the Christian journey is hard to enter
and to continue in. "Strait is the gate
and narrow is the way which leadeth
unto life. 1t is not always an easy
thing to become a Christian. We must
turn our backs upon what has been dear
to u.s. The heart must be ohaRged, the
life must be transformed. It is even
more difficult still to live tho Christian
life. The way is narrow. Only fow are
travelling it, There are obstacles to be
overcome; there are crosses to be borne
there are temptations to be resisted and
trials and tribulations to be endured.
3. The Helps (John xiv, 1-6). All is
not hindrance. We have help and all
helps may be summed up in Christ. He
is the way and by Him at last we may
enter in. The Lord is our helper, the
Lord strong and mighty, who in the
darkest hour Of affection, in the moment
of greatest difficulty, in the time of
strongest temptation is able to sustain
us. Lean upon Christ, Trust Him. En-
ter in by Him and all will be well.

LITTLE ROCK, July a7.-It was discov-
cred at Fort Worth, Texas, few days ago
that the Arkansas penitentiary holds q
former pal of Fl. H. Holmes, the alleged
murderer of Pitezel and others, and that
he is in possession of valuable informa-
tion. His name is John q. Allen, alias
John H. Caldwell, alias John G. Cald.
we'll, and he is serving fifteen year SEN
tence in the Arkansas penitentiary for
horse stealing. Shcriff w. NJ. Rea of Fort
Worth, had long conversation with
Allen yesterday. The latter, SO the sheriff
says, declined TO give any information ex-
cept to say that one of the Williams girls
IL dead, but that the other Is alive Sheriff
Rea will remain in Little Rock two or
three days longer, and intimates that II
Allen will give him the information he
wants he will have accomplished more
than all the detectives in the country who
have been working so long on the Holmes
