THE difference in the security af-
forded by express companies in the
transmission Of money as compared
with that given by the government
in the transmission of registered
packages through the mails was
illustrated recently in the loss of a
registry pouch containing $4,000 in
transit between Ogden and Chicago.
The system adopted by the post office
authorities is supposed to furnish
such ample safeguards that it is i'm
possible to lose a registered package,
as each pouch containing such matter
is. according to the postal rules, per
sonally inspected and checked by two
or three persons, and in the case re
ferred to it is claimed this was done,
vet the package has disappeared as
completely as if the earth had opened
and swallowed it, and no trace Of il
can be found. This case reminds us
that there is a widespread error as to
the responsibility of the postal de
partment for packages of registered
matter passing through the mails, as
il seems to be generally supposed that
if such a parcel is lost the govern
ment will make the loss good. This
is all wrong, and should a pack
age be lost, as appears to be the
case in the present instance the
sender has no remedy but has to

HERE is a good suggestion
from the Grand Forks Plaindealer:
Zone Of the ways by which we can
all help to build up North Dakota
is by learning how to use our ma
tive coal, instead of sending hum
dreds of thousands of dollars
yearly out of the state for fuel.
That our Ignite coal is cheaper
and equally as satisfactory as east
Eern coal has been proved for years
in the southern part of the state,
where in many towns very little
else is used. Some people say it
is more trouble than eastern coal,
but most North Dakotans have
but little to do in the winter any,
way"

Or LITTLE Maa Cetb TIiaks Ne kao~s Il AZ.
Kuhn Messenger: There is merry war
in the state of Stark, all on account of
the blind pigs Of the breezy town Of Dick
inson. Stark county has keen, little
states attorney, pretty we'll known over
the state as one of the brightest, wittiest
and cutest lawyers and law makers in
North Dakota. This gentleman never
asks himself the question-"Is it right?"
but-"Can put it through and make
some money out of it7" So early this
year it occurred to this bright attorney
that he could make some money out of
those pigs to exc out his rather slender
salary. A little pressure and scratching
on the back those precious porkers paid
their SIS per month; IS per cent of which
went to the states attorney for the oner-
Gus duty of collecting the same. The
official newspaper was gently coerced to
say nothing and saw wood; and after an
obnoxious associate editor, who had
made unfavorable comments concerning
'fblackmail," etc.," to the honorable
states attorney. and who proved accom-.
modating enough to do 30. had stepped
out, the faithful publisher was awarded
for the publication of the delinquent tax
list, on the states attorneys advice, the
snug sum Of $l,1oo, or IS cts. for each
description, for each year, in spite of the
attorney generals decision to the contra
fy.
But during the close election for coun-
ty commissioner in Stark this fall 80
much criticism of the action of the board
of commissioners and of the states attor-
ney was indulged in that these gentle
men abandoned the porkers and the wor-
thy states attorney, not being able longer
to make anything out of them is waging
war by injunction upon them. Oh Dick.
inson how dull you must be now with
your nine pigs. hermetically sealed up
and how proud you must be Of your en-
ergetic, bright and cute young attorney
@ active in enforcing the law!
