CARDINAL sAToLLI RETIRED.

Monsignore Falconio, Titular Bishop Of
Acerendu. Namod In His Place.
Cardinal Satolli has been relieved and

titular archbishop of Acerenda, will

meeting of the kind to receive the hat

there regarding the appointment Of his
successor, but the indications ore that
Satolli will remain in this country until
Archbishop Falconia arrives. As the

Free Silver Advocate What VIC need
is more money.
Business Man-Yes, l agree with you;
that we, you and I. ought to have moro
money, but how are we going to got it?
Free Silver Advoca:c-Well, if we
have free silver we'll get it.
Business Men-Do you mean that
money will DO cheaper?
Free Silver Advocate-Yes.
Business Man-Why, thought silver
men contended that it would be Just as
dear as gold.
Free Silver Advocate they do; so
they do.
Business Man Well, if it is to be just
as valuable and hard to get as gold,
don't see how the situation will be i'm
proved. Do you?
Free Silver Advocate Frankly, I
don't.
Business Maxwell, just suppose We
had cheap money, 5O-cent dollar, for
instance, it would buy only one half as
much as onr present 1OO-cent dollar,
wouldn't it?
Free Silver Advocate-Yes, only one
half as much.
Business Man-And don't you think
it would take just as much work to got
two 50-cent dollars as it takes to get a
1C0.canf f}cllar powp
Free Silver Advocate-Yos think it
would.
Business Man-The man who has any
property would just make it up double
in price, if we had 5o-cont dollars, and
he would be neither better nor worse off,
would he?
Free Silver Advocate No.
Business Man-But the man who has
anything coming to him in wages or saw
ings would be obliged to take one-half
in lieu Of his debt. All contracts would
be impaired and the silver miners who
could have so cents worth of silver
stamped one dollar, and mako their en-
ployes or creditors take it, would alone
be benefited.-Ex.

A PETRIFlED MAN.

Finding of tho Body, Near Warren, Mlnn.,
Gives Rise to Many Lawsuits.
An unprecedented suit was begun at
Croollston, Mimi, the other night, when
at midnight the sheriff took possession
of the petrified man found near Warren
last week and stood guard over it all
night, removing the remains to the
county Jail in the morning. The body
was found on q farm rented and occu-
pied by one Rondon, who guye a bill Of
sale to the two laborers who unaarthed
it for $1oo. They Immediately sold il
for SITS to C. f. Bergs, but left the coun-
try before paying Rondon. The latter
then began suit against Bergs for pos
session, but there appeared on the
scene G. H. McPherrin, who owns the
farm where it was found, and gets it
under replevin. In the meantime Bergs
resold his SITS purchase to Mrs. Mamie
Childs for $1,000 cash, and has skipped
with the money. It looks as though
Mrs. Childs, who bought the man for
exhibition purposes was ont both man

What radical change this is. may be
shown by the fact that tho well-known

The Price of Coal.

From the present outlook the fuel
question bids fair to become serious
problem in North Dakota this winter
and The Argus proposes. in the interest
OF the consumer class to enter it's protest
against the extortionate rates which
have been fixed for anthracite coal. Ten
dollars per ton for coal in Fargo and pro
rate all over the state is price out OF
all reason, and there IS nothing in exist.
ing conditions to warrant it. It is a
well-known fact that there never has
been time when coal could DO mined
and laid down at Duluth so cheaply az
at present, but right in the face of these
facts the producers of coal have not only
given the consumer the benefit of the
low rates for mining and shipping, but
have actually raised the price Of coal
laid down on the docks at Duluth. from
s42o. the price last season, to 1886, the
present price. In justice to the middle
men, or dealers in this state it is but
fair to say. they in no way share any
portion of this extraordinary and uncall.
cd for increase in price and are appar
emily helpless in the premises. More
than this-The Argus understands that
tho eastern producers and shippers insist
that dealers are to be held to an unus.
ually strict accountability for every ton
of coal laid down on the docks at Dull.
nth, so that all shrinkago or whatever
nature falls on the dealers ard consum.
ers in this state.
Under the most favorable financial
conditions this direct robbery of the
people of this state is matter which
should not he passed over lightly; but
when the further fact OF the unusually
hard times and the low price OF wheat
and produce is taken into consideration
tho act is simply outrageous and
thoroughly barofaced.
The Argus hopes that tho press, the
people, tho business mems union, the
board of trade. tho chambers of COM
merco and ths various labor organiza
tions will take the matter in hand and
use such efforts as may be within thoir
reach to bring about reduction in price.
In event Of failure to obtain justice
at the hands of the eastern coal com.
panies The Argus hopes to see united
movement on tho part Of the people of
this state looking to more liberal use
OF our North Dakota Ignite coal. which
would result in the saving of hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars to consumers ut
the same time encouraging tho opening
up and operating Of the various mines in
the state.-Argus.

I'm going TO vote for Mckinley, do you?
Second Farmer-Yes. do.
First Farmer-Well, suppose you had
a good horse and you take yood care of
him, you give him his oats regularly, see
that his water is fresh and pure, fix up
fresh bedding for him, keep tho stable
bright and clean, and give him regular
exercise, you are likely to have a horse
that you are proud to drive, aren't you?
Seconl Farmer You bet would.
First Farmer We'll, now suppose you
become careless and lazy and give your
horse impure water, YOU neglect to bed
him down properly, you let the stable
become filthy and neglect to give him
exercise, but you so on feeding him his
oats, your horse gets all out Of condition
doesn't he?
Second Farmer OF course, he would.
First Farmcr-Well, now, suppose you
SEQ your mistake and you want to get
your horse back into good shape, would
you restore the previous healthful con-
ditions, or would you expect to overcome
all the bad results by stopping the oats
and feeding him bran.
Second Farmer-Why, clean up the
stable, give him good water and clean
bedding. and exercise him.

expenses wcro decreasing, work was

THEY COME HIGH.
Estimated Cost OF . National ConventioA
Placed at 0A.O0O,O0O. f,

Placed at s4.ooo.ooo.
It Is estimated that the entire expense
Of national convention, everything
included, cannot be much less than
$4,000. .ooo-enough to build four great
battle ships. What are known as the
straight" expenses of the Minneap-
oils convention In 1892 amounted to
s15o,ooo. The same class of expenses at
St. Louis will not fall much below this
sum, says the Chicago Times-Herald,
and in this instance will he borne by
the Citizens League of St. Louis"
But the sum to be expended by the
citizens league will be mere baga-
telle compared to the aggregate ex-
penses Of nearly thousand delegates,
. thousand alternates and hundred
thousand strangers. The estimate Of
$4,0oO,O0O includes the probable daily
expenditures of over 100000 people for
week, the stupendous telegraph tolls
of the newspapers and press associa-
tions, the maintenance of various state
headquarters and the cost of the rail-
way tickets to transport this great
crowd of people from all parts of the
union.
The cigar bill alone, allowing five
cigars per day for each of the 100000
strangers, which is conservative al,
lowance for the average politician, will
represent an Investment of nearly $780,
600, while the cost Of enjoying the bev-
cruges with which the southern city il
go plentifully supplied would astound
some people who imagine that a repub-
lican national convention is dry affair.
All of these estimates take no ac-
count of the disbursements of the ante
convention machinery of each "favorite
son" which, in these days Of fiery post
crs and elaborate literary promotion
bureaus, amount to enormous sums.
Party fervor, indeed, has Il cash value,
and conventions are expensive luxuries.
