Some Changes.

A number of changes will take
place, according to reports, on the
Northern Pacific about May 20.
The Cooperstown-Fargo train will
be discontinued as the same is con-
sidered improbable. An uncon-
firmed rumor has it that another
train will be put on between James
town and Fargo to take the place Of
the Cooperstown-Fargo train, but
this is not at all probable.
The time of train number one will,
it is reported. be shortened up FIVE
hours. This will be done for the
purpose Of meeting the new time
made by the 500 to the coast. The
500 will change its schedule this
month and reduce the time to the
coast from Minneapolis 13 hours.
The coast train will leave St. Paul in
the evening. The east bound train
will be changed and arrive in st. Paul
in the morning instead of the evening
as at present.-Alert.

Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma,
who is in Washington on private
business. said of the political out
look: Mckinley will have the
enthusiastic support of the vest
ern republicans. His admins
tration is extremely popular with
the masses, and no one else will
be IN it for the nomination. We
are all for him in the Territory,
and one of the first districts to in
struct for him will be Oklahoma,
as we recognize his worth and
greatness and his wonderful
grasp on the events through
which this country is passing.
Not to renominate him would be
the acme Of imbecility, for not in
many years has the republican
party had such a leader. =

Bassett, of the Valley City AL
lance, recently went to church, a
featwhichs hsnotonly surprised him
self but also the whole of Valley
City. However he went and now
sends up q great big roar be-
cause he says so many ladies with
great big hats sat in front of him
that he could not see the preach
er and as he had not a rubber neck
he thinks the ladies' might just
as we'll show as much respect for
the minister as they do at q
theatrical performance and take
of their hats in church. The
Courier endorses those senti-
ments. It makes q person tired
to have some lady with a regular
millinery store hat on dump her
self in front of you and shut of
the view for about q yard each
side of her. The ladies should
take off their hats il, church just
as well as at o theatre.

Hope, N. D.
Whereas, 1t has pleased the Crea-
tor Of the universe in His infinite
mercy to remove our dear comrade,
c. H. Johnson, who served in COM
pany K. 31st, Maine Infantry, and
was member of Geo. p. Foster
Post, No. 22, G. A. R., of Hope
N. D., and,
Whereas, during our short ac-
auaintance with him in the Post at
Hope we learned to love him as
true member and comrade. As a
citizen, neighbor and business man
the people of Cooperstown and
Griggs county, North Dakota, know
him best, and showed their confidence
lin him by electing him to an import
ant Office in the county. In this
capacity he served the people as an
honest and obliging officer and man.
As husband and father he was very
affectionate and greatly loved by his
own family, therefore,
Be it Resolved, That we hereby ex-
tend to the bereaved family our
deepest sympathy in their affection,
and,
Resolved, That copy Of these
resolutions be sent to the family Of
our deceased comrade, and that the
same be published in the Hope

The Jamestown Alert hits the
nail on the head in the following:
The Minneapolis state papers
are printing the laws passed by
the legislature. It is an official
publication comprising all the
laws passed by the last Mime
sofa legislature and occupies 10
pages with the index. 1t is
something that every farmer IN
North Dakota would be glad to
have, aud a small part Of the
money spent on useless clerk
hire during the session would
pay for the free distribution of
the laws in the newspapers .

~
now the greatest commercial nation.
S1.l3a,ooo.ooo. While the
exports Of the latter have been above
the billion mark for twenty years
past, only twice in that time have We
exceeded it.
Vast as was our export trade last
year, it will grow by leaps aud
bounds il We utilize the commercial
opportunities which have become
ours through the Spanish war. And
what must We do to utilize them?
We must study commercial aud
economic questions, and develop
our industries and trade along sound
lines. We must maintain our public
credit at.the highest possible point.
The prosperity Of the United
States means the prosperity Of its
people, down to the laborer occupied
in the most primitive Of tasks, re-
quiring neither education nor train
ing. The one great danger is that
political demagogues shall mislead
the less intelligent Of the voting
population by their sophlstries,
"Let we'll enough alone," is very
safe motto at the present juncture.

we would have had the prettiest

is not all that should be done
they want cultivating, water
ing, etc, in order to get them to
grow. A great many people
think that when they stick a
tree in the ground that is the end
of all their trouble and the tree is
neglected and dies and then they
say trees won't grow in this
country. You can tell who takes

have healthy trees-those who

OUR COLONIAL TRADE.

Even in these days Of rapid ocean
transit by steamer, it takes time to
develop the possibilities of new areas
OF commerce. We have annexed
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines, and exercises a military pro-
tectorate ever Cuba, the Queen ofthe
Antilles. The possibilities of prot
liable trade with these dependencies
are not yet realized by our people.
much less utilized.
According to the bureau of sta
tistics, we are spending more than
$25o,ooo,ooo year in the purchase
of tropical products. All of these
can be produced in these island col;
onies and dependencies, under the
auspices of our own people. The
main items Of these imports are 100
millions of sugar, the same of coffee,
and so millions of tropical fruits, to-
bacco, jute, rubber and nuts.
These islands can produce all
these things, and besides offer us
the benefit Of their trade in things
which we produce. Porto Rico's
imports per year amount to 16 mil
lions and Hawaii seven millions.
We have the inside track on furnish
ing this immense volume of products
which these islands require, and we
produce or manufacture nearly all of
them.
More than this, the ports Of the
Philippines will become the outposts
of much vaster trade with other
countries of the Far East. As The
Blade has remarked frequently Of
late, we now have a gang plank
across the Pacific. Its extremity is
at Manila, within 900 miles OF the
coast Of Asia. We are now the near
est Of the worlds great manufactur-
ing and commercial nations to the
countries adjacent to the Philip
pines. Their annual imports, in
round numbers, amount to over a
billion dellars year; and their great
distributing points are as near to
Manila as Havana is to New York.
The strife among the commercial
nations is not for territory, but fol
trade. Since 1896, the United States
has made such prodigious advances
| in commerce as to strike the world
with amazement. Here is fact
which needs careful consideration
Last year our domestic exports
reached the tremendous total Of st..
