Turning Guests Away at BeImar
Special Correspc ndence Of The Evening Star

BEI.MAR, N. J., August 3. 1899.
The big month of the season at this
lively resort has begun with a rush quite
unexpected by even the most sanguine OF
the hotel keepers. Every one of the inns
is full. and some of them. notably the Ho-
tel Columbia, are turning guests away.
OF the many pleasant social events of
the week was the progressive euchre party
at the Atlantic Monday night. There were
twenty tables of spirited contestants. The
Hotel Columbia holds a full-dress ball this
eS ening for the guests who are crowdiux

hall is beautifully decorated with pottad
plants and cut flowers. After the dance re.

which are but briefly reflected in the in
terview with that gentleman published
this morning. The forthcoming report
is necessarily voluminous, as it cover a
large scope, including all the essential
points at issue. The committee is justly
entitled to credit for having left no
stone unturned looking to- the solution
of the perplexing question of grading
wheat. For years the farmers Of
North Dakota have felt hat an injustice
has been done them, and any steps that
may be taken looking toward the forma-
ton of a plan that will protect them
will be received in a spirit of gratitude.
The committees idea of having a Dakota
grain inspector at the points suggested
is one of the means suggested of giving
North Dakota farmers a better chance
before the inspection department. The
TRIBUNE hopes that the labors of the
committee will result in greatly bene-
fitting the wheat growers of the state.

man. The more this tax question is
analysed the more apparent are the in
equities and it is discovered that while
corporate interests may, as a rule, be as
sessed too low no other property is
taxed at "its true value" according to
law. Look at those fine Red River val

81 to Sc an acre-while in the central

assessed at from 81 to So an acre-when

Burleigh. And the more the statesmen
on the bill investigate the more they will
be convinced that in proportion to it's
population and wealth the central and
western part of the state pays taxes
largely in excess of the eastern section.
Senator Twichell has been looking into
the matter of unequal assessments and
is prepared with a array of figures that
ought to convince any unselfish individ-

islation to overcome the present evils

There are scores Of scientific people in

Hy VI. II. JEWELL.

The house appointed a committee
to investigate the charges alleged
and rumors circulated concerning
the official conduct of Judge Glaspell of
the Fifth district. The committee was
appointed at the request of Judge elias
pell. The sentiment of the house. as cx-
pressed in their action on the petition
and the resolution introduced immcdi-
atcly after it, in the executive session on
the day this matter first came up, was
against any consideration of either mat
ter by the housc-that no injustice be
done anyone by action on news
paper reports of which the house should
hardly take official notice to the extent
of investigation by committee. 1t was
held that the matter was not one proper
ly to come before the house in this man.
ner-but the insistcnce of Representa-
tive McHarg to establish the right of
any citizen to petition and have his petit
ton heard, apparently induced the house
to consider the petition and appoint the
committee, as the only way to dispose of
the matter, which promised to come up
repeatedly, in the same manner 1t would
appear that the committee occupies
rather novel ground for a Legislative in
vestigating committee-which, usually,
has some definite charges before
it for consideration. In this
case, there is nothing before
the COMMUNICATION han what may be
their general knowledge of newspaper
rumors that may have been circulated.
Had some definite charges been filed, the
case would be different. But where is
the bill of particulars? What reports
warrant investigation, and what ones are
not serious enough SO to do? 1t looks
somewhat as though, if no charges were
presented to the committee of a definite
nature and accompanied with what al
leges to be substantiation, the committee
will have to grasp at shadows in the
matter. 1t is not plain, if this precedent
is established, why any official in any
capacity, if he considers himself misrcp.
resented or maligned by newspaper Cos
sip, has not the right to ask the lcgis-
lature to investigate him, or give him a
bill of clcarance-and the legislature
would be sitting the year round. 1t
would seem as though the whole matter
were not properly before the %house-and
that the committee occupies a new po-
sition-and unpreccdentcd-for a legisla-
tive investigating committee.

few days ago from Porto Rico by Direc-

talks of the excellent prospects for the

time-when the banana crop in North
Dakota is seriously threatened by the
present heavy frost. The average tenn
