AMENDED LAWS.

There are three constitutional
amendments pending in Congress.
One of these relates to the chang
ing of the Presidential inaugura-
ton day from March 4 to May 4.
1t also provides for the extention
of tho term of the next Congress
to the same time. The argument
adduced in it's favor is the general
inclemency of the season at Wash
ington in March, and so imperiling
the health of those who participate
in the Inauguration ceremonies and
in many other ways hindering its
success.
The second amendment proposed
refers to the election of Senators
by the direct vote of the people in
stead of by the Legislatures, as at
present. The amendment has al
ready passed the House, but is not
likely to receive the requisite two
thirds vote Of the Senate. The
latter has come to regard itself as
too select to come in such close
contact with the dear people.
The third amendment is design
ed to provide for certain emergen'
cies not fully covered by the Con
stitution. AS matters now stand.
the electoral vote for President is
canvassed on the first Wednesday
of February, and should both die
before March 4 there would be &c
one to take the Presidency. 1t is
to provide against such contingent
cy that the amendment is proposed
The first and last will doubtless be
presented to the States, but the
second will probably be smothered

That nothing succeeds like suc-
cess is an old saw. It is nearly
always true, When some Of North
Dakota's farseeing capitalists first
started to organize the Red River
Valley mutual hail insurance COM
pany many apparently took kick
at the scheme. But the promoters
labored along and after many diff
culties the company was duly in
corporated and secured charter.
Since securing q charter the bust
ness has grown rapidly, and the
company now has about 5000, 900
first-class risks. No poor business
is accepted. Nothing but first
class secured notes are accepted,
and everything points towards the
company's success. A large corps
of solicitors are now at work in
Cavalier county, and every farmer
should give the home company the
preference. The company is being
economically managed, and Gre
ditable record will be made. It is
expected that million dollar bust
ness will be done the first year.
