AN EASTERN paper says that ladies
leaving the city for the summer have
keenly felt the need of a place where
they could, as it were, store their hus-
bands, and now a "refned widow
lady," who can give and will require the
highest references, who offers for q con
sideration to 'lodge and board respect
able husbands, look after their linen,
and give them a mothers care if ill.,"
Everything will be done to amuse and
interest them while under her care,
while at the same time discipline will! be
maintained and no slatchkeys will be al
lowed. Wives need have no apprehen-
sion on that score. There will positive

funded in case of dissatisfaction.

gross earnings system, will contest
every point and do what they can to
bring direct taxation of railroads into
disfavor, with the hope of revivlng a
gross earnings system in the next legis-
lature because of legal complications
that may arise against this years direct
tax. If a vacancy exists in the board of
equalization because of the expiration of
the term of the appointed members, and
they act in August as a board, their as
sessment of railroads would be illegal
and void. If new members are appoint
ed, and act when no legal vacancy exists,
the action of the new board will be in
Wild. 1t is, therefore, of vital import
ance to the state, if they would enforce
the direct tax law against railroads, that
the board of equalization be q legal
board. The republican party has elected
the state administration, and holds 1t re-
sponsible that no blunder be made IN
this matter. The TRIBUNE is most anx-
ious that the administration proceed &C.
cording to law, and, that no mistake may
be made, would advise the bringing of a
proceeding before the supreme court in
such manner as to test who legally con
stitute the state board Of equalization;
that a special session of the supreme
court be called, and the matter definitely
sattla1 hafOra tho tin,a for tho mootinp
of the board. There is no doubt but
that the judges of the supreme court,
owing to the serious Importance of the
question, would be willing to convene
for the determination of a suit having in
view the settlement of the question.
This is a splendid time to act on Davy
Crockett's advice: "Be sure you are
right and then go ahead"

THE many comments on the amount
of wool being marketed at Bismarck
and n%eighboring towns brings to mind
some remarks made by Judge Dryer of
Dayton, Ohio, during his last visit to Bis
marck. The judge is a thorough demo-
crat, and was asked if Mckinley could
carry Ohio in a presidential contest. The
judge answered: ut would be only a
question of majority. You know we are
a great wool producing state, and every

THERE is being conducted at::Mellette,
S. D. a series of experiments that will
solve once for all, question of irrigat ton,
and will also determine which varieties
of the different kinds of cereals, grasses.
vegetables, trees, etc., are best suited to
the soil and climate of the northwestern
country. The Hunter farm comprises 800
acres, every foot of which can be irrigat.
ed. The artesian we'll on this farm is
l,O65 feet deep, six inches in diameter,
and has a pressure of 165 pounds to the
square inch. The flow from this we'll is
sufficient to cover five acres of ground
with eight inches of water every twenty
four hours. The John A. Salzer Seed
csmpany of Lacrosse, Wis, has an ex-
perimental plat of twenty acres on this
farm, on which is growing $500 varieties
of vegetables, cereals, grasses, forage
plants and trees that can be raised in
this climate. There is also a subj. S.
experimental station located on the
tarm, and a weather record is kept.
These are under supervision of the state
agricultural college, OF Brooking. On
the state experimental plat are the same
varieties OF vegetables as on the Salzer
plat, and they will receive the same
treatment in every way, except that they
will get no water whatever other than
rain. These plats being side by side. it
will be possible to determine at a glance
what irrigation will accomplish. H. r.
Hunter and the Salzer Seed company
have a PIP acre patch OF potatoes on this
farm, in which is planted scores and
scores OF varieties, and this will also be
an interesting test. A complete record
will be kept of the climatic conditions,
time of termination and condition dur.
ing growth of ever; thing until it's
maturity.

IT seems likely that the obstacles ia
the way of the consolidation of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railway properties, under one manage
ment and control are unsurmountable.
The laws and constitutions of the states
of Minnesota, North Dakota and other
states through which these transcon-
tinental lines run prohibit the consollda-
ton of parallel lines either by lease,
purchase or otherwise. The clause in
the constitution of the state of North
Dakota reads as follows:
SECTION III. No railroad corporation
shall consolidate its stock, property or
franchises with any other railroad corpora
ton owning a parallel or competing line.
The wisdom of this provision was not
thoroughly understood at the time of
the constitutional convention, but it was
made to prevent just such a thing as the
consolidation of the two competing
lines. The best interest of the state
will be conserved by the Northern
uSAA oAN tAo 0l0du 4NOItu0Eu CoIlAlu-
ing competing lines. Unquestionably
the people get better service than they
would by consolidation. We're both
roads operated under a single manage
ment in all probability the Great North
ern would be used principally for freight
and the Northern Pacific for passenger
business, and while both these roads are
interested in building up the state too
much power ought not to be put in their
hands. The railroad interest already
exerts as great an influence in our cleo
lions and in our legislative halls as is
healthy. The peoples interest Is best
subserved by preventing the upbuilding
OF too large corporations and prohibit
ing combinations and trusts.

In THE financial and business centers
of the nation there is a better feeling at
present than has existed for some time.
Henry Cle~s, recognized as an able ex-
ponent Of the business worlds situation,
looks with great favor upon business
prospects. "We are almost assured of
a bountiful corn CROP" he says, "and for
all u cereal products are promised bet
ter prices than a year ago. Western
jobber are, without exception, preparing
for a heavy fall trade; and it is not to be
supposed after recent lessons in over
trading that they are making such lib
eral purchases of boots, shoes, dry goods
and clothing without knowing that the
farmers will be compelled and able to
buy more freely than they have been do
ing. Even more important than the
better agricultural outlook is the great
industrial revival, which has made such
phenomenal strides since February last,
and which is destined to continue for
months to come with little interruption.
Quite recently Bradstreet's estimated
that the wages of q million workers had
been advanced 10 per cent. The effect
of this, and the large number Of formerly
idle hands now employed, has not yet
been seen. It 9 a much larger con-
sumption Of all the ne%cessaries of life.
Every year the United States becomes
more important as an industrial country.
Its industrial and commercial growth is
more rapid than it's agricultural develop
ment; and in estimating the future we
must give these new divisions of our
national occupations greater weight in
our conclusions. Our great railroad
systems are no longer go exclusively de-
pendent upon crops as formerly; for
grain is often carried at improbable
rates, and traffic in manufactures islcon-
stantly increasing. Unquestionably the
present great trade revival means vastly
more to the railroads than the r o stu.

THERE are in the state over $500 miles
of railroad, reasonably worth $4,000 a
mile. If assessed at $4,000, the tax for
state purposes would amount to SIG per
mile, and for county and municipal pur-
poses many times that amount. All this
depends on the assessment being made
by a legal state board of equalization.
The TRIBUNE does not think it necessary
to call a special session of the legisla-
ture, as a less expensive method can be
resorted to, but if a session of the SUI
preme court is to be called to determine
the question, it must be done at once, as.
under the constitution, twenty-day no.
tice of such a session is required to be
given. For years the Northern Pacific
has paid tax on $1,000 a mile less valua-
tion on the main line than on the
branches, on the false theory with which
they have scared the board into believ-
ing that congress had exempted the
main line from taxation. But a compro-
mise would be made and tax paid if the
board would put a small valuation on
the road per mile. If the question of
who the board Of equalization are is not
determined, advantage will be taken Of
it by the railroad companies, to either
get an unjustly low assessment, or the
tax levied will be contested, with a view
OF compelling the next legislature to
adopt a gross earnings system. While
there is no danger of that ever being
done, a mistake at this time ought not
to be made. The condition in which the
republican party found the state treas
ury, and the strenuous measures neces.
sary to be adopted in order to meet our
obligations, warns us that no mistake
must be made if we would succeed.

WHEN THE LAWS TAKE EFFECT.

The TRIBUNE has commended since the
adjournment of the legislature that the
new codes did not take effect until they
had been printed and delivered to the
secretary Of state, accepted by the gov
ernor, and his proclamation announcing
such acceptance published for thirty
days. The supreme court has now de-
cided that such is the law, and, until
publication, the old laws remain in force,
except where they have been amended
by session laws of the late session. By
session laws is meant such as were
passed by the Fourth Legislative assem-
bly, as separate bills, and not as q part of
the new codes.
The old revenue laws are still in force,
and the board of equalization, which
met last Monday, is the lawful one, and
tho state auditor is entitled to much
credit for his discretion in so i%nstructing
the county auditors as to avoid legal
complications.
AAO liz" Soh1S law" AACA was 1uV0uOCA
as a session law, was unfortunately in
corporated as a part of the code, and SO
reported by the committee, and passed.
1t does not, therefore, go into effect in
time to be of any benefit this year.
The question of how far session laws
will be repealed when the codes take
effect, that are in conflict with it, is a
serious n and has not yet been passed
upon. It is commended by some lawyers
that the session laws will stand as
against the code where they conflict; by
others, it is said that the fact that the
codes having been signed last repeats
all session laws relating to any subject
treated on by the codes. The revising
commission have not as yet determined
on the n they will pursue on this
subject.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10. The stock
market showed remarkable tirmness
today. At the opening there was loss
OF about g per cent in most Of the
active list, but good buying movement
was quickly developed under the intlu
ence which brisk advance recorded
led by New Jersey Central and the
other coal stocks, and IN which North
west also participated largely, the i'm
provemenU ranging up to IL. The
higher range of values induced sales to
realize profit, and. as q result, New
Jersey Central and Sugar broke l 4 and
the rest OF the list 1&0l. The temper
of speculation underwent marked
change about l o'clock, and the market
put OH good tone under purchasing OF

ued to the close, which was quite firm,
and the final sales showed gains in Il
majority of the active list. number of

lower. The prospectus of the Belmont
Morgan bond syndicate was issued just
before the close of business on the stock
exchange, but not in time to have any
effect on the share market, if it was at
all calculated to have any influence on
the current speculation. The most im-
pOrtant advances of the day are: Min
