The supreme LAW Of the Land.

"a was that great judicial authority, Chief
Justice Marshall. who declared that the
Constitution extends to all places over
which the Government extends" Since
NsrshaIIs time the Supreme Court OF the
United States has reafIirmed his doctrine
on every possible occasion. There can be
no honest doubt in the mind Of any Cousti-
tutional lawyer that the clause Of the Con
sitution which says, "AH duties. imports.
and excuses shall be uniform throughout
the United States, applies as fully 10 the
Island of Porto Rico as to the District Of
Columbia OF the State Of Massachusetts.
Il remains to be seen how many RePubl-
can Senators and Representatives Will shut
their eyes TO TIL clear evidence of the basic
Law as cNpounGed by an unbroken line Of
mighty American jurists. and help to pass
a measure which they know to be as uu-
Constitutional as IL is cruel and inhuman.
and how many will join the Democrats in
resisting the nefarious assault upon law
and liberty.

assistant secretary of the treasury in
charge of the erection of public build
ings, is preparing for transmission to
congress a list of public buildings in
the United States, on which work has
been stopped or never begun, on &C.
count of the price increase Of building
materials Or the shortage of iron. There
are a number of cities which have been
voted money by congress for public
bulldogs. In many cases the build.
ings have never been begun, because
contractors would not undertake thei,
construction within the appropriation.
Sites in many cases have been secured,
but there the matter has been held up,
Congress will be asked to increase these
appropriations so that the protected
buildings may be erected as originally
intended,

A Liberal Offer.

The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading it's popularity is the best proof of
it's ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twjce-a-Week edition of the
same publication, the. Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune,
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm
er's daily. 1t is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest new up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.
If you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune (twice.a-week) with your paid
in-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for sl.25. No stronger inducement
could be offered.
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
offer. 1T will not be continued long.
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers Twice-a-Week
Tribune free.

Secretary Long and ADMIRAL Bradford
Before tho Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1~7.-Sccretary
Long and Rear Admiral Bradford ap-
peared before the senate committee on
naval affairs IN advocacy of the con-
struction of the Pacific cable by the
government. The secretary's statement
was general and related entirely to the
feasibility of the plan and it's advan-
tage over doing the work by private en-
terprise. Rear Admiral Bradford de-
tailed the operations of the collier Nero,
which is now engaged in making a pre-
liminary survey of the proposed line
west of Honolulu. He said that the
survey had been completed and that the
Nero was now on its return, making a
zigzag survey. According to the
reports made of the preliminary
work, the proposed cable was en-
tirely practicable. 1t is to run from
San Francisco to Honolulu, thence via
the midway islands and Guam to Dim
gala bay, island of Luzon, with a spur
for commercial purposes to Yokohama.
The average depth between Honolulu
and Midway is 2,7O0 fathoms, between
Midway and Guam 5000, and between
Guam and Luzon 1880. He estimated
the cost at 81 1850 per knot, which, with
the amount necessary for steamers, Of
fees, ETC., would bring the cost up to
$40, OO0, 1000. He placed the entire
length of the cable at 1924 knots, which
allows 20 per cent for slack and de-
tours.
In connection with his statement,
Admiral Bradford said that he under.
stood the average the expenses of the
war department for messages to Ma
Mia, to be about 1000 per day, and
that the total of the expenditures of
the navy department had amounted to
S26 O0O.
