COM N UNICAIION.

Editor of the COURIER DEMoCRAT:-
1 noticed an article in late issue IL
the Langdon Times, that originally ap-
peared in the Bismarck Tribune, stating
that the present revenue is iLauee uate 10
the demand made upon the state for
funds. The article also says that "either
some Legislative action must te taken To
curtail the expenditures of the state, &C
| the state treasury will find itself with .
deficit of from $4,000 TO 100000 annually.
LII the past four years the state has paid
off slS0,O00 of debt created by the tieioi-
eucies of the fusion administration"
That item is a current lie that was
started at Bismarck and copied by
the republican press throughout tho
state. First of all it should be clearly
understood that the legislature was ne-
publican by large majority in
both houses and consequently abs
to- pass any bills they saw fit over
the fusion members Formerly it had
always been the custom for the lieuteA-
ant governor, who is president OF Tho
senate, to appoint all committees, but
When 1t came to the appointment of lhB
appropriation committee it WAS taken
out of his hands and placed in those d
the republican gang, A committee wu
then appointed that made extravagaat
appropriations which the republican 10
gislature passed, although the fusion
members voted solldly against it, 4
large number Of appropriation bills wen
vetoed ny the governor, but passed ov9
his veto by the republican gang. This
being the way in which the much talke&
Of big deficit was originated. The bosses
OF the republican party saw that II they
let the president of the senate name tin
committee on appropriations ii wise ana
economical committee would be appoint
ed, and that by the republican bossHu
naming the committee themselves they
could appoint an extravaganza one and
then blame the fusion administration for
thee deficit, get their campaign spoak-
ers to tell the lie and have republican
state press herald it forth.

VICTORY HARVARD'S.
Observation-Disclosures Debate In Which
Maine BOY Participated.

Prtneeton, y. j., April 5.-Alexander
hall was crowded tonight. the attraction
being the Princeton Harvard debate Oh
the subject of an Angola merican alli-
ance. Princeton had the affirmative and
Harvard the negative side of the follow
ing question:
Resolved, that formal alliance be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain fer the protection and advance
ment of their common interests Is aa-
visable."
President Patten presided and, after
preliminary remarks, introduced James
H. Northrup, who opened the debate for
Princeton. MIR. Northrup clearly defined
the question, carefully stating the spec1nc
issue. He presented his arguments in
logical form. His line of argument
throughout was to the point, the purpose
and reasons for the formal allisnce being
shown in a convincing manner.
Stephen ID. Rosenthal, was the nrst
speaker in the negative. He discussed the
question, stating at the outset that the
burden OF proof rested with the affirma-
tive His argument was carefully put
and his course of reasoning strong
Alfred S. W eston, the second speaker,
in the affirmative, showed that heretofors
England had been lighting single handed
for an open door policy. but had lost
ground; that an alliance with the Un1ten
States would bring about access to China
on equal terms to all powers and would
be Of mutual advantage to those two
nations.
Harry F. Wolff. for Harvard. showed
that alliances have usually led to serious
conflictions. He sustained his arguments
with several examples He was convtnc-
ing in argument and impressive in de-
livery.
Nathaniel S. Reeves. the last speaker
in the affirmative, defined the full mean
ing Of alliance and the explanation OF
treaties.
Wilbur Morse, the last speaker in the
negative. produced a strong argument,
showing the fallaoy Of formal alliances.
The judges, Professors E g. Phelps,
Yale; J. B. Moore. Columbia, and j. W,
jerks, Cornell, rendered decision In
favor Of the negative.
A banquet was given the debators at
Princeton Iun Immediately after the de-
hate. President Patton presided. The

Boston. April 5.-The charge of con-

against five Italians, which was being
tried in the United states court this after
noon was dropped by Assistant District

flight from tie office of the United States
