Probably one Of the other
points that the advocates of a
new constitutional convention
brings forth is the need to raise
the debt limit Shades of Ham
let, but that is a great argument
for calling another convention at
the expense of the people. The
debt limit is too high now and
our people should see to it that it
is not raised. Vote it down vot-
ers, and bury the scheme SO deep
that it will take several years to
resurrect it. If we can't run
this state without raising the
debt limit let's shut up shop
and lock up our public buildings
for year or two.

There is no reason that we can
see why you should not vote for
the republican ticket from top to
bottom. It's composed of men
worthy and capable of holding
the different positions and the
republican party has always
given the country a businesslike
and prosperous administration.
Under Harrison republican
the country reached the highest
point of prosperity, and under
Mckinley it will do the same.
We have enough of the present
incompetent administration.
You wanted a change four
years ago and you got it small
change, too let's change back
this year by electing to power a
party than can do the country

The supreme court has decided
that the people Of North Dakota
shall be allowed to vote this fall
as to whether they want another
constitutional convention or not.
as per a bill introduced by Wine
man, of Grand Forks, during the
last session of the Legislative and
passed by the body. Right here
we want to go on record as be-
ing absolutely opposed to having
another constitutional convention,
and urge every voter in North
Dakota to vote and work against
this scheme. The present con-
stitution of North Dakota may
not be perfect but it is as good
as majority of the states have
got and there is no need Of
amending it at present. Thou
sands of dollars will probably be
spent to carry this through on
election day by those interested,
because it is only a scheme of the
resubmissionists to try and wipe
out constitutional prohibition.
Another constitutional conven-
ton right on top of the legisla-
tive session would cost the tax
payers of this state in the neigh
borhood of 100000 and plunge
the state head over heels in debt.
The taxpayers are burdened
enough now, without contribut-
ing any further towards Wine
mans pet scheme. Farmers
and voters, if you desire to keep
down your taxes vote down this
proposition for a new constitu-
tional convention,

HANNAFoRD.

In company with Geo. B. Clark, ye
editor made short visit to Hanna
ford last Saturday. We were sur
prised to find new buildings going up
on all sides and general air of
prosperity permeating tleatmosphere.
We noticed on the west side of the
track new stone foundation of a
house and asking who was building
we were told Archie Sinclair was the
party. We asked Archie about
it but he said that he
knew nothing about it. It looks a
little suspicious to say the least.
Moore Bros. are doing a livery and
restaurant business-lately settling
there. Groven & Sinclair are still at
the old stand, always pleasant and
agreeable and selling goods at living
prices. Halvor Arestad is also doing
a nice business and waits on his Gus
toners in his usual pleasant way. A
telegraph operator has been put in at
that place which makes it convenient
for the business men. New houses are
going up all around and it looks as if
Hannaford was enjoying solid,
steady growth.

During the two weeks just
past wheat advanced nearly 8
cents, flax 6 cents and July cot
ton $40 a bale. According to

the fall in farm products is due
to the fall in silver, silver should
have advanced proportionately
to these farm product figures.

onice OF the auditor of the state to an
amount not exceeding &l3O. 900. f
Under this provision there was issued
such warrants, $3.50, 600, making q
total amount Of &2lO, 600 funding war-
rants, the issuance of which was made,
necessary by the depleted condition in
which the treasury had been left by
the populist administration.
OF this amount there has already
been paid s145, 600. and by Nov. / the
last cent will have been discharged
and the state freed of a legacy OF in
dehtedness bequeathed MS by tho
populist administration of two years
ago. In addition to this every legal
obligation incurred in running the
state government and its public insti-
tutions under the present administra-
tion has been paid in full and to date.
BY q wise and economic manage
ment Of the states affairs, the present
administration has not only been en-
abled to pay off the Indebtedness of
the former administration, besides
paying in full indebtedness incurred
by the state during their term of Office,
but there was also a total of cash on
hand in the treasury, Oct. l, 1896, OF
$245. .2lO.28.
The state board of equalization,
consisting Of the governor, treasurer,
auditor, attorney general and commits
sioner of agriculture and labor were
enabled this year not only to lower
the assessed value of farm lands but
were also enabled to lower the state
levy of taxes to 4.3 mills. 1850, 900
were added to the assessed value OF
railroads and the burdens of other
Taxpayers reduced.
With such showing as this, there
ought to be no doubt of the election
of the republican ticket.
Should there be any question Of the
correctness of single figure given in
this article am prepared to verify
the same by the state records.

SOME COMPARISONS.
Direct From the
States Books Showing the
Difference Between
Populists and Re

To the Forum: When we speak of
q government as good we speak of it
as compared with the best government.
So too, of political parties, the party
which when in power, shows the great
est capacity to administer the affairs
of government to the best interest of
the governed, the party under whose
administration the welfare of the
whole people is best subserved with
the least burden upon the individual
citizen. may truly be said to be the
one most worthy the confidence of the
state electors, and entitled to con-
tinuance in power.
This being true, and the voters of
North Dakota being about to choose
what party shall have control over the
different branches of the state govern
ment for the coming biennial period,
it is fitting at this time that we take a
retrospective view of the state admin
istration for the past four years.
In Nov, 1892, party dissentions and
>
personal jealousies caused the defeat
of the republican party and the cleo
tion of the entire populist state ticket,
excepting secretary of state.
The populist governor, lieutenant
governor, auditor, treasurer, attorney
general, superintendent of public in
structions, commissioner of agricult-
ure and labor, commissioners of in
surance, and commissioners of rail-
roads, qualified as officers on Jan. 5,
1893.
At that time Hon. L. E. Booker, the
former treasurer, as appears from the
state treasurer's records, turned over
to Knud j. Nomland, his successor in
Office, money belonging to the state as

The Arithmetic Of Il.

st. Paul, Sept. 29.-To the editor:
48O grains made ounce, Troy weight;
37l4 grains pure silver make / dollar,
United States coinage; 4l2l grains
standard silver make dollar, United
States coin ,ge; 23.22 grains pure gold
make 1 dollar, United States coinage;
25.S grains standard gold make dol
lar, United States coinage.
II 3714 grains of pure silver be
worth 81, how much are 4sO grains, or
one ounce worth? Solution: Divide
48O by 37I4, and you have l.2929,
showing that the ounce of silver is
worth $1.29
If the market value of silver is 65
cents an ounce, what is the value of +
3714 grains, or one silver dollar?
Solution: Divide IS by. 48O to get the
value of one grain, and multiply the
quotient by 3714, and you have 1927,
showing that the value of the silver
dollar is 1927 cents.
If the people of the United States
buy of the owners of silver in the
United States 49,5OO,O ounces o,
silver at Sl.29 an ounce, how much
will they pay for it? Solution: Null
tiply s1.29 by 49, 500, 600, and you will
have $63, $50, ,OO0, the answer.
How much will the people pay for
the same amount of silver il they buy
it for IS cents an ounce? Answer: BY
same process, s32, 175, 900.
If the people pay s63, ,s55, 600 for
what they can buy for s32, ,175, 900, do
they gain Or lose, and how much.
Answer: They lose the difference be-
$63, ,855, 900 and s32, ia, 900. or s31 $780,
600.
BY a similar process find out what
would be the loss to the people of the
United States if they should buy 167,-
1852, ,56l ounces of silver at 81 20 an
ounce, when they could buy the same
at IS cents an ounce? Answer: s1O7.-
36l, ,639.O4.
Who would make these amounts?
Answer: The owners of silver
If the owners of silver made $1O7,-
1861, $780, in one year. at the same
rate, what would they make in ten
years? Answer: sl,O73, &c., 1910
What states produce more than so
percent of the silver of the United
States? Answer: Colorado, Monta-
ma, Utah and Idaho.
What is the total population OF
these states? By census of 1890. S43.-

a warrant is drawn on the treasurer

At the time the populist administra-

offices all of the Indebtedness of the
state institutions, the miscellaneous

full, or at least, SO far as bills had

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has rendered last Monday two
important decisions in Louisiana ca
ses. One Of them involved the cor.
stitntionaIity Of the separate car law
commonly known az the Jim Grow
car law and the court held the law to
be constitutional.
The other was the celebrated Greasy
Jim case, in which the accused claim.
ed to have been deprived Of his pri-
vileges Of an American citizen BY not
having any negro on his trial jury, he
being . negro. The court held that as
law made no discrimination against
bis race, the fact that there was no
negro drawn as jnlor on the panel
which tried him, deprived him of no
constitutional right.
Both Of these decisions were anti
cipated because the issues involved
Lad been previously solved il the
same way 10 Mississippi cases.
