II W.4RvM RESOLUTION.

Last week our Legislators were
SO enthused by the amount of
warmth and sunshine contained in
the weather enjoyed, by the people
of the state generally that they
adopted the following unique and
fowery resolution, extending
sympathy to the residents Of east
ern states for the severe weather
and life destroying bl'zzards that
had prevailed for the past ten days
particularly III the state of New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachu-
sets. The resolution was intro
duced byRepreseutative Laughlin

Whereas, the perfume laden zepyrs,
blowing soft from waking fields and
farms, whose mellow miidness and fol-
some fragrance kintle into wreathng
smiles the vast area of the sunklssed
state of North Dakota, Call into sorrow

the east and south-a spectacle that
must warm with sympathy thu heart of
every resident of this more favored reg

Of sympathy be sounded forth to the
ice fettered oyster bays Of the coast of
the angry Atlantic. to the blizzard swept
peach orchards of New Jersey. to the
icicle bedecked watermelon field of
Georgia and to the frost locked orange

ACTIVITY in the formation of
trusts continues undated. The
record of q day which does not
reach into the hundred million of
combined capital is 4 poor one in
decd. And all of them are getting
in their work promptly. The felt
trust, which is among the latest
born, sets out with the bold dec
laration that its purpose is to.crush
what it calls "unheslthy competi.
ton" The rubber trust delicately
intimates that it will"bring togeth.
er the leading manufacturers"
The tin plate trust proposes tto
make it difficult for outside mills
to obtain the rare material required
for the manufacture" Que and
all, with unblushing audacity, be-
gin their career with operations in
restraint of trade. What is to be
done about it? We have law
which says that this is criminal;
ana yet the law defied. Is the
trouble with the law itself or with
its enforcement.

II YEAR 400.

In the week just closed the peo-
pie of the United States have
observed the anniversary Of three
events that mark epochs in the
history of our country, the natal
day of Lincoln aud Washington,
that will forever be cherished and
r-vered by succeeding generations,
also February 18th whic', WAS the
first anniversary Of the destruction
of the United States ba,;leship
Maine in Havana hsrlnr Ivy the
treacherous SpaniarlA, under the
protection of who's. flag that brave
ship swung at anchor when the
crime was committed. The deed
WAS the blacklist of the century,
sending thrill Of horror through
out the civilized world. Spain row
stands, one year following the
CRIME of tho Maine, a beggared,
,liscredited and dishonored country
She has lost the rich West Indies
and the richest Philippines. Her
navies have been wiped off the
seas aud her armies whipped into
panic and submission on the land.
She has gone backward in the scale
IF nations until she is no longer
seriously considered in the great
scheme of European politics.

QUITE as sneaky as its attracks
upon Gen. Miles is the attempt of
the administration to make it ap-
pear that democratic Senators are
trying to force an extra session of
congress by opposing legislation
for large standing army. It is
the duty of their constituents, and
in resisting by every constitutional
and parliamentary method known
to them such vicious legislation
they will be doing exactly that.
They have nothing to do with call
ing an extra session of congress;
that is strictly a presidential
prerogatiys.

HE question of allowing the
newly elected congressman, Rob-
erts, from Utah to take his seat in
the National capitol, is again be-
ing agitated by the press of the
country. Roberts is all avowed
polygamlst and admits having
three wives. I'm this he is as much
a criminal as the blind pigger of
our own state, aud, as such, is not
entitled to sit in our national con-
gress. 1t is claimed by his defend
ers that he takes better care of his
three wives than many men do of
one, but this excuses him no more
than the plea Of the blind pigger
that he only sells liquor to those
who would get it anyway, and in
no way lessons the crime. The
territory Of Utah WAS admitted to
the Uuion upon the express
stipulation that polygamy should
cease to exist. This meant that
no more plural marriages could
be contracted and that those in ex-
istance by the act were snnualed.
A provision to carry this into effect
was inserted INTO the constitution
Of the state, and laws were passed
to give it binding forces. Roberts
is self confessed violator of the
constitution and laws of his own
state AS we'll as those of the I'm.
tied States and as such is as much
a criminal as any other violator of
the laws. There is no question as
to the legality of his election, but
it ne is allowed to take the posi-.
ton it means national recognition
of polygamy, the abolition of all
marriage and divorce law, and that
the United States is to become q
nation Of prostitution. North

REPRESENTATIVE

REPRESENTATIVE LEWIS, of
Washington, in the course of a
short running debate on the item
in the Sundry Civil bill which ap.
propriates $20,OOo,OO0 to pay
Spain for the Philippines, pointed
out the important and interest
ing historical fact that Spain, is
the only country on earth that has
ever repudiated it's treaty obliga-
tions. In 1862, after the English
had taken the Philippines, Spain
made a treaty in which it agreed
to pay England All amount equival-
to 100000 to regain possession
of the islands. England gave up
the island, under that treaty; but
Spain has never paid cent of the
money promised.

TOOK
PREsIDENT MCKINLEY

President MCKINLEY took
good care that General Miles was
not afforded an opportunity to
render his country distinguished
services in the late war in his capa-
city as great military leader. The
American people have a great
peuchant for conferring civic hon
ors on military heroes. The en-
ampIes of Washington, jackson
aud Grant we're sufficient to warn
President Mckinley of the danger
of affording General Miles such
an opportunity. So the handsome,
intrepid General was snubbed,
and the awkward, buugling, adj
pose Shafter was sent to the front.
Well, when Shafter wanted to
throw up the fight at Santiago,
Miles stepped in and prevented it,
and Thereby saved our army from
being destroyed and gave us
victory. Again, Miles to k Porto
Rico without a struggle and with.
out loss of life, after which lie
registered strong kick against
feeding American soldiers on EN-.
balmed beef, which matter is now
bejpg investigated by court OF
inquiry.

SENATOR LA1DLAw on his return

SENATOR LAIDIAW on his return
from Bismarck next week will be
asked by his constituents to stand
up and give his reasons for not
supporting the Twitchell bill, call
ing for an equitable assessment of
of telegraph, telephone aud express
companies and their equipment,
which was indefinitely postponed
by the senate Monday by a vote Of
10 to z. The bills defeat is q
triumph for corporation influence
in the state and a strong lobby to
that end by representatives of the
Western Union Telegraph Co., and
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroads has been operat-
ing among the members for several
days past. On the part of the ad-
ministration the attorney general
has given the bill his best support
and successfully combattsd the
technicalities rs to constitutions
atty raised by the corporation
attorneys, he being convinced that
the bill was in the direct interests
of the people. Is it possible that
there can have been other than
ordinary means used to secure the
necessary votes to give the measu1 e
its quietus and enable such repre-
sentatives of the people as Senator
Laidlaw to bow the knee to the
will Of the railroads? While cam
paigmng last fall Laidlaw was
continually over reaching himself
in an attempt to detract from the
record Of his opponent, Senator
Plain-which by the way was as
open as q book in hopes of gain
ing a few votes. How will he salts
fly the voters that he was best
serving their interests by aiding
in the defeat of a bill which de-
mauds that railroad and telegraph
companies bear their equal share
of taxation with the people? Can
it be that the bills defeat was ac-
co,nplished in a manner similar to
that by which the election of re-
publican Legislative ticket was
made possible last fall? 1t is up
to you Mr. Laidaw.

IT is hardly likely that Cavalier

It is admitted that in the sem
atorial contest ;their vote was
cast on the winning side, in
fact they could hardly be locat.
ed elsewhere seeing that LaMqura
held the key to the situation, be-
sides it is well known that the
legislative electioneering in this
district was manipulated in Jud'e
interests right from the start.
Both Senator Laidlaw and Repre-
sentative Mclean conducted them-
selves with decorum and voted on
the winning side on all important

a good deal of time presenting and
