SENATOR Hansbrough has introduced
an amendment to the legislative appro-
priation bill providing for a messenger
in the surveyor generals Office at Bis
marck. The appropriation was dropped
out of the bill some time ago-and as a
result no messenger is now in the office.

awakened a deeper interest than did
House Bill No. %. The Importance Of
the bill lies in it's close relation to the flu.
ture welfare of every county in the state
as regards protecting the people
against loss on account of defalcation
of county t~reasurers. From almost the
earliest period of territorial days, up to
the present time, defalcations have
succeeded defalcations, and it can be
shown that no more than 30 per cent OF
the thousands of dollars lost by counties
as Il result, has ever been recovered, and
probably never will be. AS an unavoid-
able consequence the rate of taxation
has not only been greatly increased, but
Il large number of our best business men
have been bankrupt and forced to leaye
the state almost penniless. 1t is not the
purpose of the TRIBUNE to enter into de-
tails, but there is hardly a county in the
state that has not ut some time during
it's existence lost more or less on account
of %defaulting t%reasurers. Attorney Ball
Of Fargo, who has tried a large number
of the class of cases referred to, said in
regard to the bill now pending. ITO my
mind the bill is a wise measure and if it
becomes a law will prove to be of almost
incstimable value to the state of North
Dakota. Richland, Cass and Barnes
counties alone are sufferers in conse-
quence of dcfaulting treasurers to the
extent of $4,000. The TRIBUNE directs
special attention to the speech of Mr..
Wolbert in support of the measure
which, to our mind, is a clear and COM
prehensive digest of the interesting sub
ject.
The guarantee bond of a fidelity COM
pany is practically a form of insurance ON
the property of a community intrusted
for the time being in the hands of an in
dividual. THERE'S nogood reason why the
treasurer of a county should pay the
premium out of his own pocket. So far
as the treasurer is concerned he is salts
fled with the present system. 1t costs
him nothing he can make a deal with a
bank-thc bank will see that his bonds
are obtained-the bank gets the deposits
which is all right for the bank-and
the treasurer. So far so good. Now if
the bank fails where are the funds?
Four out of five of such instances result
in the bondsmen getting out from un-
der and-thc funds are gone. Compel
the treasurer to give a fidelity bond-it
is absolutely good-no local influences
to save the bondsmen-no loss to the
community. And why make the treas
urer pay the small sum this security
gives the tax payers? 1t seems impossi-
BILE there should be opposition to such a
measure in the legislature.

ANYONE who is at all familiar with the
character of the land in North Dakota
outside of the Red River valley-knows
that the school lands can never yield $40
an acre--the minimum price fixed in the

and at that figure hundreds Of thousands
of dollars might be added to the school

The result of the battle between the
United States troops and the rebellious
insurgents at Manila, was a glorious vic
tory for our troops. All the evidence
thus far received goes to show that an
attempt was made to surprise the Amer
lean army by their t]rcacherous enemies.
In the face of this great disadvantage
our boys Won the day with comparatively
a light loss while the enemy lost
heavily. The sympathy of the whole
country will go out to the relatives of
the fifty brave mcn that fell. Especially
will the sorrow of this state 60 out for
the fallen heroes of South Dakota and
sympathy for their relatives and friends.
1t will be a happy day when Aguinaldo
and his following of semi-barbarians
are effectually disposed of.
