No Coin In Sight.

In addi tion to there being no money
in sight now to fight the cases of the
railroad commissioners against the
railroads, the outlook is very dis
couraging. State Auditor Hannum
says there is no more likelihood of
there being~ any money to prosecute
the suit by Nov. than now. The
last legislature, it seems, refused to
appropriate any fund for this purpose,
although Gov. Briggs made an effort
to have this done, foreseeing that
there would be trouble in enforcing
the orders of the board. The only
way the attorney general can be as
sisted in the matter is to advance him
money from the general fund, and
trust to the next legislature to reim-
burse that fund. No definite action
has been taken by the officials on this
point, but something will be done by
Nov. l. Unless some funds are in
sight the attorney general will probab-
ly drop the suit. as he will not want to
ask the court for many hore continu-
ances on uncertainties.

The editor of the Valley City
Advocate has been doing some
figuring and says it is estimated
that in six of the largest counties
in the state of North Dakota the
interest on notes given for the
Deering harvesters amounts to
S85,O00 this year. That the in
terest on the Mccormick notes
is over 100000. On the other
harvesters at least $15O,O0O more.
This make a total of 1885. 900.
The interest on the threshing
machine notes will be as much
more, making a total interest
about 100000. This is in six
counties alone. and will take
1000. 900 bushels of wheat to pay
it. This includes merely har-
vesters and threshers and should
the farmers pay the notes it
means an outlay of $1,000, 900,
figured at 10 per cent interest,
much more at a lower rate of in
terest.

Norway has followed in the
wake of Sweden, and has changed
from revenue tariff to a Pro-
tective tariff. Fourteen days
after the enactment of the Ding
ley law in the United States the
new law, the aim of which is to
protect home production, was
promulgated. That the change
was not made precipitately as a
result of any spasmodic popular
clamor is evidenced by the fact
that the new law is based on the

pointed by the Storthing year

The Capture of Quebec.

Most of the French possessions in
America were nearly all taken away
by the English, and only a small por-
ton remained to be captured. Quebec
and Montreal were the places aimed at
to be captured by the English.
The capture of Quebec was a very
difficult undertaking. Being set on a
high, rocky cliff, it was almost impos
sible for an army to get up to it. This
task was given to Wolfe, a very skilful
general. Wolfe anchored off the city
of Quebec in the summer of 1859, with
5000 troops and a large fleet. Mont
calm, the French general, opposed him
with force equal to this.
Both generals were very skilful and
daring men. Wolfe had vainly sought
for many weeks to find weak place,
but he was confronted at all points by
large canons, guarded by French SOL
diers night and day. Wolfe was about
to give up the attempt to capture Que
bee when he saw q slight track leading
to the top of the cliff, up which he de-
termined to take his army. In the
darkest of the night of September l3,
1859, the soldiers climbed up the bluff.
The French sentinel at the top stopped
the leader and asked, ''Who is there?"
An English soldier, who could speak
French, replied that he was a merchant
of Quebec, who had been to France for
goods and had been chased by the
English.
This threw the sentinel off his guard
and the soldiers were able to capture
him before he could give any warning.
So all the soldiers came up, dragging
a few canons with them; but it was
very hard to get them up. When the
morning came Wolfe was all ready for
battle. When Montcalm saw what had
been done, he rushed at Wolfe with
his usual bravery. The battle had
been going ON only short time when
Wolfe was killed while making bay
onet charge. A few minutes after.
while trying to rally his men, Mont
calm was killed.
Both generals died contented; Wolfe,
because he was sure his men would
capture Quebec Montcalm, because
he would not see Quebec fall.
The city surrendered five days later,
on September 18, 1859. The battle was
fought on the plains of Abraham.

BISMARCK. N. D., Oct. 12.-An at
tempt was made last night by some one
unknown to take the life of Editor
Motfett of the Bismarck Settler. Mof-
fet is captain Of the governors guards
and last night as he was returning
home from drill and was about to enter
his home, five shots were fired at him
in rapid succession. One of the bullets
struck an outbuilding about two feet
above his head. The man who did the
shooting was about 80 feet away and
it was moonlight. Moffett had fair
view of his assailant, but did not re-
cognize him. One of the neighbors
heard the shooting and gave chase.
but the fellow succeeded in making his
escape. The shooting was done in the
presence of Moffet's wife and mother,
and the two are 'prostrated today from
the terrible shock and fright.
This is the second attempt that has
been made to murder the editor There
is great indignation here today over
the shooting affair, and business men
and citizens generally are unanimous
in condemning the outrage. If the per-
petrator is caught lynching bee is
not improbable. The people of Bis
marck do not propose to be condemned
as whole for the acts of three or four
lawless individuals, and every suspic-
ious character will undoubtedly be or
dered to leave the town. Moffett has
been making sharp fight against the
gambling and other immoralities in
