Rate on Land Reduced.

Considerable surprise was occasioned at
Chicago yesterday among the Western
roads by the discovery that the Illinois
Central had filed a tariff with the Inter
state-commerce Commission showing a rate
on lard from Sioux City to New Orleans of
&c per 100 pounds. This is the authorized
Kansas City rate, the regular tariff rate
from Sioux City being Csc. In other words
Illinois Central in the matter is the more
surprising because ten days ago ii engaged
with the Western Freight Association to
maintain authorized rates on its New Or
leans traffic. The tariff filed with the In
terstate-commerce Commission Will expire
by limitation March 81

The Santa Fe Projecting Itself.

All the roads in the Western Passenger
Association were notified yesterday by the
Santa Fe that 1t would continue TO sell un-
limited rate tickets to Texas points. This
action on it's part is contrary to a resolution
adopted by the Southwestern Passenger
Association at its last meeting. 1t is not the
fault of the Santa Fe that this is So how
ever. When the Santa Fe set about carry
ing out the resolution in good faith ii found
that unlimited rates were still shown in the
transmissouri rate sheets and could not be
taken out without the consent of the trans
missouri committee. While the rates re-
main there nothing remains for the Santa
Fe to do but sell tickets at them, and it has
notified it's competitors il will do so until
the entire question has been adjusted by the
Western Passenger Association.

We do not know whether it is
prosperity or otherwise that is
responsible for the small delin-
quent tax list that is now being
published in this paper. but we
do know that the delinquent tax
list now being published is the
smallest we have had since we
have lived in Griggs county, and
to our notion is an evidence that
when farmers can pay up their
back taxes and the taxes for the
past year, that they are getting
better fixed financially-or, in
other words, have caught on to a
little prosperity. While the CouR-
1ER is big loser by the people
paying up their taxes, we should
be only too pleased to lose still
more if we could only see the time
when it would not be necessary
to publish a delinquent tax list.

Yesterday was, by proclama-
ton of President Mckinley,
legal holiday and day of national
thanksgiving for the people of
these free and United States.
When we look back in the past to
the days of the Puritans and the
forefathers of this glorious re-
public, we can't help but feel that
we of today have many and great
er reasons to give thanks than
had the people of the early days.
Then they had nothing but hard
ships and privations, battling
sometimes for their lives and
homes with hostile Indians and
also with the lack of comforts
known to the people of today.
We therefore cannot err when we
say that thepeople of these United
States have indeed many and
divers reasons for giving thanks
to the Great Giver of all good for
the many and manifold blessings
bestowed. Our country is ex-
periencing areturn to prosperity
slowly but surely we are at
peace with all nations; our har-
vests have been abundant, and
the people all over the country
are generally happy and pros.
porous, compared with other na
tions. In North Dakota the peo-
pie are enjoying more prosperity
than in any other part of the
Union. Our farmers, mechanics,
and laborers have during the past
year enjoyed better times, better
health and better conditions all
round, so that as a state and peo-
pie we have much to give thanks
for. Let us hope that in the spirit
suggested by the president our
people gave thanks for these
many blessings when they sat
around the festive board yester.
day.

One Cannot Overthrow . Republic.

In The Century there is an article ON
political society in Paris under the title
Of "Royalists and Republican, writ
ten by Baron Pierre do Coubertir.
Speaking of the efforts of the Legiti-
mists and Orleanists, NJ. do Coubertin
says:
The period which followed the de-
cease Of the Count dc Chambord was
one of increasing disillusions. It had
been SO continually reiterated among
their adherents that the Orleans princes
would ''do something" as soon as they
had 1.-THE right" that every one had
ended by believing that they would.
Now that the right was theirs as the
sole representatives of legitimacy, they
did nothing. Very little reflection suf-
feed to show how impossible it was
that they should do anything. One may
conspire against sovereign. overthrow
q monarchy. What power can be used
against republic based on the ballot?
To all pretenders the republic replies:
"You wish to take my place? Very
we'll. You have the right to do so. Get
q majority. Get them to elect you"
An electoral majority large enough to
modify the constitution in favor of the
individual to whom democracy gives
its confidence-that is the only chance
in a republic. General Boulanger might
have attained his end in that fashion,
and even he failed. With the Comte do
Paris it was ont of the question. He
could not at any time have commanded
sufficient number of votes. And Is
would have been incompatible with his
dignity as pretender to sue for them il

Last week Chief Justice Corliss
came out in an interview in which
he stated that the Williamsport
lynchers had hanged an innocent
man when they lynched Coudot,
one of the alleged murderers of
the Spicer family and that he had
documentary evidence to prove
his assertions. Now comes Tuttle
the stenographer who reported
the trial, and says that Mr.. Cor.
liss is '.off his base," and that the
witness, DR.. Ross. who claims to
have proved an alibi for Coudot
was impeached' on the stand and
that his evidence was very con-
Trajectory indeed. The funny part
of this whole business is that if
Mr.. Corliss knew thai Coudot
was innocent. why on earth
didn't he say so at the time he
handed down his decision grant.
ing a new trial. He certainly
must have known that the grant.
ing a. new trial would arouse bit
ter feelings, and if he wanted to
subdue these he should have
spoken out and thus have saved
Coudot' life-at least for a short
time, until his second trial was
over.
