The Courier subscription list
has experienced avery flattering
growth the past year-a much
more substantial growth than in
any previous year. This is due
to the fact that We have endea-
vored to give the people of Griggs
county a readable. newsy, county
paper, and our patrons have
taken this view of the matter.
We are now starting out on a new
year-a year of much promise
for good times and continued
prosperity. We want to share
this prosperity in common with
the rest of mankind and we also
want to give our advertising pa
trcns the benefit of a better cir
culation in which to get their
goods before the people. In or
der to do this we have made ar
rangements with the Minneapo-
lis Twice-a-Week Tribune for a
special clubbing rate and to all
new subscribers or any old ones
who renew their subscription
from this time, we offer them the
Courier and the Tribune for 81 80
the two papers for one year at
that price. The Tribune is one
of the best papers printed in the
northwest and contains the gen
eral news of the country. Now
is the time to subscribe.

The New York World says:
Canada is preparing to make a
strong bid for that class of
American corporations known as
''trusts. A represen tative of
the dominion government has
arrived in this city to confer
with representatives of several
of the largest companies having
their offices in New York. Pro
posed antitrust legislation and
the rapid spread of the antitrust
spirit is mainly responsible for
this move towards Canada. The
idea is probably the broadest and
the boldest ever conceived by
the corporation interests. 1t is
stated that they long since dis
paired of obtaining favorable
treatment through the enactmcnt
of federal laws for the reason
that it would be necessary to
amend the constitution of the
United States before this can be
done. The trust people declare
that they are now harrassed and
subjected to petty annoyances
in various states. They assert
that by obtaining national
charters from the Canadian gov
ernment they would free them
selves from state interference
and could be sued in this country
only through the United States
courts. -

Senator Pettigrew, Of South
Dakota, and few other alleged
reformers, are organizinganother
reform party for the purpose Of
trying to catch the voter. We
wonder how long these grabbers
after senatorial seats think The
people will play sucker to them.
Any old thing goes with them to
be used for an issue and to help
these fellows hold on to their fat
snaps. We apprehend that next
fall the people will settle Petit
grew and several others of like
ilk beneath an avalanche of re-
publican votes. The populistic
aggregation dare not go before
the people with the same issue
twice. If free silver was the
panacea for all our ills in 1896
why is it not now? The same
remedy ought to apply now. The
reason is because times are too
good under this able republican
administration and the 16 to 1ers
know that to bring that before
the people again means a worse
defe;lt than before. All the issue
they can muster up now is to be
.'agin the government as the
Irishman said when he landed at

TO KICK THE GOAL.

The filth, the cold, the j)stllng
crowd, the "menagerie of escaped
hoodIums," the absence of all COM
forts and conveniences, as we'll as
the presence Of obstacles and incon-
veniences unnecessary ard unlaw-
full, at the Columbia station Of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company, has at last worn thread
bare the patience of one man, who,
fortunately for the TRAVELLING public
has the courage to assert his rights
and the intelligence to know how.
He appeals to the HERALD for
help, and we herewith open our col
umns to him, and to any ind all
other citizens who may feel ag-
grieved.
He has not only filed his bill of in
dictments with the HERALD, but
also with Mayor Cameron, and with
Superintendent Geddes of the l.. &
N. Co., and with President Thomas
of the n. & G. Co.. and with the
| State Railroad commission. He has
respectfully filed his complaint. II
that does not suffice, he will fight
for his rights; and we pledge him
the HERALD's support in that fight
from start to finish.
The depot at Columbia is not only
an open shame and disgrace 10 the
town, but it is run contrary to law
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
can protect US in our rights If they
will, and if they won't, the individ
ual can protect himself.
The law provides for convenien
"toilet" rooms for men and women
The law is not complied with. 1
provides further for separate ant
comfortable waiting rooms for mel
and women. These rooms are no
separate in the true sense, and are
never comfortable and never clean
the best that may be said of them
is that they are less filthy som
times than at some other times
Major Geddes, upon this point, say
he "never heard of their filthy condi
ton before" He has passed throupI
them numbers of times. Where wer
his eyes? He never saw them clear

to inspect these waiting rooms daily /;
to visit them at frequent and uneX
pected times, and impose fine
every time they are found unclean
or uncomfortable. The Board OF
Mayor and Alderm m will doubtless
be advised" 'ha they cannot do
these things: but the HERALD j.
advised" that they can; aud if they
will take our advice, they will at
least try. They might at least show
their freedom from Railroad in
fluence and their loyalty to the peo
pies interest, bv trying. 1t is up 20
them, so to speak. Will they act?
Will they give these complaints
from the general public some seri.
ous, thoughtful consideration, and
try and remedy some of the evils
they know full we'll to exist?
1t is up to them.

THE Senators and Representatives
of this Judicial Circuit should begin
to consider how they will redistrict
this circuit. Not only is there great
confusion from conflicting dates, but
the business of the circuit is more
than one Judge can possibly attend
to. Judge Holding has held court
more uninterruptedly this year, and
worked harder than any other Judge
ever did, and has expedited business
as we'll, and yet nearly every docket
in the circuit is behind. The bust
ness has grown out of all proportion
to what 1t was when the circuit was
established. Tea years ago the trial
Judge could clean the Lawrence
county docket easily in weeks time.
Not it takes from two to three weeks.
Ten years ago four or five weeks at
a term was enough for the Maury
docket. Now it requires nearly that
much time for the Mt. Pleasant
business. 1t will require six months
of good hard work to keep this
docket clean. And Giles and Will
hanson will occupy six months be.
tween them. From these estimates
it might be possible to find one
month for Lewis; but no Judge can
properly discharge the duties of the
office, doing justice alike to the
State and all litigants, and kee1
clean the dockets for more than
these four counties. For the January
term of the Maury court, the docket
Is already crowded with "set" cases
and there yet remains between g
and 100 cases not set. We are II

CoLUMBIA's FUTURE.

y
Columbia has "promising" fut7re.
How many Of these promises will be
redeemed, the future must disclose.
The Railroad authorities have
positively promised to build a new
depot. Just when, no fellow can
find out; but it is supposed to be
sometime next year.
A gentleman who ia interested in
the new railroad to be built from
Columbia to Milan, connecting
there with the Illinois Central and
Tennessee River-and a gentleman
who ought to know what he Is
talking about, makes the positive,
unequivocal statement that work on
that road will be begun next year,
and pushed to a rapid completion.
And we have it from another
source that If the present promoters
do not make satisfactory progress,
new agences will be enlisted to take
their place and push the work
through.
Columbia will have better water
and light next year than this. The
water has already been materially
improved by filterer being put in
the bed Of the river. And If the
light service ia not improved,
another light company will he
organized and put in operation.
There Is very little doubt, we think
of chat promise being fulfilled.
And there is some promise of 9
school for boys being established
here next Fall. That movement Is
in embryo at present, but 1t has this
much earnestness OF success. Two
well-known educators competent
capable and in every way satisfac
tory mem want to come to Columbia
and establish a school here. They
want buildings and grounds ant
library to cost about 81 800, and the!
are willing to furnish about one
third of the money themselves. Co
lumbia would have to raise abou
$4,000. We will not discuss the man,
reasons why, hut will simply say tina
1t ought to be done. The reason
are obvious. From moral, spiritual
educational or business standpoint
Columbia cannot afford to go longe
without school for its boys. Pal
ents who have boys to educate car
not invest their monev more profita
bly, than in this school, and propert
owners will find it the surest way
keep their houses occupied wit
good tenants and at good prices.
this promise" takes more tang
BILE shape-as we hope it will-w
will speak further of it throug
these columns.
If half Of these promises, all
which seem reasonable and fla
and probable, should bear fruitio'
the first year of the new centul
will witness a mighty stride forwai
in the development of Columbia.
