Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1898-02-18

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Tribune writing from Grand Forks init
mates that strife in the republican
ranks of the state of North Dakota may
r~e-elect Senator Roach to the senate
at the expiration Of his present term.
While such wild statements may afford
some consolation to the democrats, and
keep them in a state of hopeful eX.
pectancy until the next senatorial cleo
ton, it will be found at that time that
North Dakota will never again commit
such a breach of propriety as to elect a
democratic senator with a republican
legislature. One experience of the kind
has been a wholesome cure.

made on the east, the south and the
northwest of the park. The eastern adj
dition is a portion of the Yellowstone
forest reserve and the southern addition
part of the Yellowstone and Teton re-
serves. The northwestern addition is
in Montana and includes the upper
basin of Madison river, extending to the
h%eadwaters of the Gallatin river. The
lands included in the various additions
are all mountainous and most of them
are heavily wooded. The southernmost
addition includes Jackson's Hole, which
Supt. Young says, in recommending the
addition, is a valuable winter resort for
game. He estimates that 10000 elk an
nualIy winter there. The proposed
northwest reservation is the resort of
the most daring poachers on the elk and
buffalo in the park. Col. Young says
the extension of the parks limits by
these additions would supply such
natural boundaries that with only eight
cen miles of fencing the park game
could be etfectually enclosed and pro-
tected from poachers.

last, and it will not be many more
weeks before the members of this sect
will be moving from the middle and
southern states to the several counties
in North Dakota where the colony has
been organized. From letters received
by the Northern Pacific immigration de-
partment, it appears that reports from
settlers locate1in the fertile northwest
to their friends in the east have resulted
in plans which will transfer a large num-
Der of families from Indiana, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and the Virginias to
Darlington, Sykeston and New Rockford
in Wells, Foster and Eddy counties.
Those who went to these places last
year or the year before have been sig.
nally prosperous, and their glowing let
tiers have tempted many others to follow.

AN item from the state insurance de-
partment in yesterdays issue goes to
show that the insurance companies in
the state paid out more money in losses,
taxes and expenses in the state last
year than they received in premiums.
Notwithstanding this fact, all of them
have applied for permission to do bust
ness in the state again in 1898, aud there
could be no more conclusive expression
of the confidence of capital in the sta
bility, improvements and ultimate high
prosperity Of North Dakota.

The eo.callcd "reformers'' whose I'M
reasonable and entirely objectionable
course gave the control of Greater New
York into the hands of the corrupt
Tammanyites, are organizing their cam
paign throughout the empire state.
There can be but one result, New
York will go to the Bryanites in 1900.
Speaking of "reform" marplots, the
New York SIM says: "Of course, they
talk loudly about the horrors and perils
of bossism, because their whole CON
spiracy is in itself an attempt at boss
ism Of the most shameless character,
and it is necessary to humbug people
with hypocrisy" How perfectly this
fits sanity George and the whole Win
ship crew.

'ecuflties to make the change
The Grand Forks alludes to the ,

HE Grand Forks alludes to the sus
pension Of sentence Of a boy .who had
been convicted Of h~ootlegging, at Steele,
in terms uncomplimentary to Judge
Winchester. AS usual, the Herald is only
half Informed, and does not care to be
informed of all the facts in the case.
The suspension of sentence was ordered
upon a petition signed 10y practically all
OF the residents of the locality in which
the oifense was committed, and by the
local w. G. Z. U. and the persons who
had been active in bringing prosecu-
tons for the violation of the liquor law.
The offender was a mere boy, and Judge
Winchester acted as the community re-
quested in their petition, believing that
in this case, justice could be tempered
with mercy and every demand of the law
be as we'll served. II the Herald desires
to be fair, which it does not of course.
It will investigate this matter, and with
draw It's hasty conclusion.

The deal said to be pending for a
sale OF the Northern Pacific lands to a
developing syndicate has not progressed
beyond a tentative stage, says the, Phil
adelphia Stakeholder. There is, how
ever, confirmation of the report that the
management Of the road is considering
a proposition for the sale of all it's lands.
The importance of such a transaction in
its relation to Northern Pacific securi-
ties can hardly he over. estimated. The
proceeds of the sale, if contaminated,
would be used to take up the entire
issue of first mortgage bonds, effecting
a large saving in interest charges. Most
of the lands, moreover, are at present
unproductive, and there would be an
additional gain in the elimination of ad-
ministrative expenses and taxes. It is
deemed significant that the company
has e we'd it's offer to holders of the
first mortgage bonds to convert the
latter into the new 4s. 1t looks like a
final opportunity for the owners of those
securities to make the change.

A CORRESPONDENT of the St. Paul

A CORRESPONDENT of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, in an article dated from
Bismarck, speculates as to the recent
trip of Winship to New York, wondering
whether it a be possible that Win
ship is tired of the Improbable battle
he has been waging against the admin
istration, and would like TO come to an
understanding with his enemies, as is
reported among some state politicians.
1t is noted in the article that Winship
has gained nothing in his battle, been
unable to dictate appointments, and
has little to show for his bitter criti-
cisms in the way of results. The pros
pect of another republican daily paper
at Grand Forks is also stated to have
been a disturbing element for Winship.

riers shall remain in effect pending the
decision Of the courts, when appeal is
had tothem from any rates promulgated
by the state. This feature of the law
appears to have been overlooked when
the DISQUALIFICATION was applied for to
prevent the commissioners establishing
their schedule-indeed, if it had been
brought up.and applied to the matter
in question, it is doubtful if the pro-
ceedipg could have assumed the nature
of injunction, as that very proceeding
would have been opposed to the consti-
tuition, since it provided that the com.
missioners should be restrained from
putting the rates into effect. When the
rate matter comes up again, it is likely
that the attorneys for the state will in
sist upon the enforcement of the provis-
ion ofthe constitution, which, if adopted
and insisted upon by the court, will
tend to bring about a speedy settlement
of the rate matter, by submitting it to
the courts for decision.

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the
Journal says of the political situation in
the state as seen from that end: "The
candidacy of Major Edwards for the
gubernatorial nomination is not con
sidered seriously either by Hansbrough
or Johnson. 1t is not thought that the
Fargo editor will be elevated to this
high position. So far as Roach's future
is concerned, the prophets who know
him best predict that he will not return
to North Dakota if he sees no chance
for reelection to the. senate. AS there
is no possibility for him to be returned,
The guess is made that he will hereafter
reside in Washington.

day with the first OF the above, he
charged for the full five days at the rate
of Sc per day. The same charge was
made in the Great Western Indemnity
compaDy's bill. The Globe Fraternal
was only charged for four days. All
three companies were charged with the
full fare from Pierre to Minneapolis and
return. The item on the Globe bill was
s31 for for the round trip, while on the
Great Western bill there are two charges;
from Pierre 10 Minneapolis, s19.S5, and
from Minneapolis to Aberdeen, $1,000.
The actual fare from Pierre to Mime
arolis is S14.O5 All of the companies
were likewise charged with berth fares,
n of them for three nights and an
other for two nights. The officers of
hese companies thought these charges
were excessive, but offered no complaint,
as it was not good policy, the matter of
admitting these companies to South
Dakota resting almost entirely with the
commissioner. They say that the
C harges of McLaren are not a marker
to those of his predecessor, however.
Mr.. Anderson for the same kind of an
examination as that for which Kipp's
deputy charged Sol, demanded s245 in
the case of the Northwestern Life asso-
citation, and S1O7 in the case of the Globe
Fraternal Accident apainst $50 nv Mr..
Laren. There was therefore no COM
plant of McLaren's charges, as they
were a relief from the fees that had
ruled before. For examinations of the
Great Western Indemnity company and
the Globe, the insurance commissioner
of North Dakota charged $40 each. The
Wisconsin commissioners charges were
correspondingly light.

The showing made by the railroads
of the country for the month Of January
is certainly a good one; but this was to
be expected, in view of the well.known
fact that the movement Of trade and
general business during the month was
a very large one, and that the bank
clearings were the heaviest ever known
Good as the showing was for the last
month of 1897, that for January is even
a bettor one, and with the sole excep-
ton of the phenomenal record made in
the month of November, that for The
month just closed, in percentage and in
number of gains, ranks as the best for
any month since before the panic of
1888. The total earnings Of 1874 COM
panies, operating over $1,000 miles OF
road, during January aggregate S44,-
124,21S, a gain over the corresponding
month OF 1897 Of IS S00,O or Is per
dent. The Northern Pacific leads again
in volume of increase, its earnings for
the month exceeding those of the same
month last year S45S,2l3. The volume
of Klondike traffic, and lis value to the
Pacific roads is proven by the fact that
the increase for the group of Pacific
roads over the same month a year ago
is 81 per cent.

The American farmer has Jared ey-
tremely we'll during the year 1897, the
famous year of protection and prosper
ity. He received from his breadstuffs
double the money he received in 1894 or
1895, and nearly SO per cent more than
he received in 1896. The value of bread
stutfs exported from the United States
in 1894 was Sl21, 1913 377; in 1895, $l2l,-
571,555; in 1896, 177.27S,4 05: in 1897,
s243, 72l, los. In nearly all other articles
of farm produce the expectations for
1897 were far beyond those of preceding
years in value.

GOVERNOR LEE of South Dakota and
his private secretary Tom Ayers, form,
erly editor of the Grand Forks Inde-
pendent, and me of the pop leaders of
the state, manage to keep themselves
prominently to the front in the southern
state. The latest is a row with the in
surance commissioner, Kipp, who is ap-
pointed by the governor and not elected
as in North Dakota, and the governor
has removed Kipp and appointed Ayers
to take his place. Kipp did not dis.
pense the patronage of his office to suit
Lee, and it is probable that Ayers, if he
is allowed to remain in office, will
remedy the difficulty.

he impressed his scheme upon the
farmers Of his region. They stock
stock" in the company. to be paid for in
work on the road, and a right Of way
was secured'a and several mil.s actually
graded. But there interviewed two OBJ
%stacles, There WIS the long stretch of
uninhabited woodland between Red
Lake and Duluth to be traversed. and
the difficulties were beyond the means
of the organization of the volunteer
stockholders t, overc me. The second
obstacle came in the form of Il dispute
with some RELIGIONS sect, into which
Hines threw himself. either forgetting
his PIT railway or dceming the eternal
interests involved superior to the tenn
poral interests OF his farmers. So the
scheme fizzlcd out, but there was no re-
ownership and no stock liability suits.
Down in Texas a community found
itself ut a distance from a main line of
railway, and its growth and industry
correspondingly h%ampered. 1t be-
sought the company to run a stub from
it's main line; but, as the company got
all the traffic anyway, it could not see
how it would be advantaged by the en-
penditure for the construction of the
branch. After vainly Ealing upon
Jupiter, the villagers decided to help
themselves. They organized an i'm
provement company, with the mayor Of
the town for it's head, and began build
ing the twenty-five miles of road to con
meet them with the main line. No
bonds were issued, but the villagers
and farmers subscribed for stock, for
which they paid either ip, money or
work. They did their grading,
furnished the ties, built the bridges.
Everybody, from the mayor to the vii
lage blacksmith, enlisted. No salaries
were paid, except one of a dollar a day
to the superintendent. The line is fin
;shed and running, and it "owes not a
single man."
