circulars call attention to the desirability
of slope homes for those farmers who
desire to engage in mixed farming and
stockraising. The parties of Iowa farm
ers who have been shown over the slope
have gone back home, and in many cases
the members will be missionaries to
bring homeseekers to the slope. Tho
opportunities that are afforded the poor
man in the west will make it, for the
next few years, a Mecca. An Illinois
farmer, speaking to The Tribune the
other day of the comfortable farm home
secured in a few years by a man who
cam to the slope penniless, said: HE
would have been a long time in Illinois
before he would have done that" Land
is too high, competition too keen, to afford
opportunities to the poor man in Iowa
and Illinois. In North Dako:a there is
cheap land, free grass, inexhaustible fuel
supply, and every natural advantage.
What is needed are practical farmers,
with energy and willingness to work.
The rest will follow, for few men have
come to North Dakota and made failures
that could not be traced to their lack of
effort, or of practical experience.

IN CHINA.

Russian Newspapers Pay Much Attention
to Events There.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 30.-The news
papers here are paying considerable at
ton to the events Of China. The Novosti
expresses the opinion that the dynasty
will last for a long time to come, but
adds that China will never be restored
to her former condition. and that 'una-
voidable work Of partition will be &C.
oomplished peacefully, though, perhaps,
in the distant future"
The Rossija asserts that it was not
necessary for Russia to take a hand in
the cou d'etat, and adds: ga Russo
Japanese alliance is inevitable. It is
only a question of time. In the mean
while, it is important that the control of
the naval and military forces of China
does not fall into the hands Of the Amer.
leans, British or Germans" The paper
concludes:
"We must keep on the alert and see
how the new situation affects the inter
ests Of Western Europe, above all, those
Of England"

Among the resolutions adopted by the
grain growers meeting at Fargo, were
the following:
That the addresses delivered at this
second annual meeting of the Tri Estate
Grain Growers association, the large
attendance of farmers and their close at
t%cntion, has strengthened our belief
in the fact that conventions are the
agency for conveying scientific and
practical knowledge of agriculture to
the masses of farmers and producers of
the northwest and is therefore of the
greatest value as an educational %institu-
ton, therefore, everything should be
done that is practical to encourage it
and its work.
That in line with this we favor liberal
appropriations by the state legislatures
OF the states which this association v
ers namely, Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota, for the support of
farmers institutes, and we especially
emphasize the want of this support in
North Dakota, and respectfully recon-
mend that the candidates for the lcgis-
lature he pledged as far as practicable
to carry out these recommendations.
That we recognize the great wants of
ships on the Pacific ocean in order to
export the agricultural products of the
northwest and Pacific coast to the pco-
pie of the orient, who would become
large buyers thereof, and we demand of
national congress such legislation as will
Ell encourage ship-owncrs and ship-builders
to put vessels on that ocean. We do not
desire to take part in the contention of
those who favor the Payne Hanna bill,
now under consideration, or with those
who oppose it. but we believe that there
is sufficient craftsmanship in congress
that shall render substantial justice to
all in interests and at the same time
give American shippers and sailors the
right to the trade of their own country,
and open up markets which will absorb
the surplus agricultural products of the
northwest.

E. S. Rolfc of Minnewaukan, in the
Minneapolis Journal, calls attention to
the rapid disposal of government agri-
cultural land, the rapid increase in value
of lands here and the diminished oppor-
tunity for the poor man to take up n
claim, and asks: With lands open to
acquisition only by direct purchase, are
coming generations of farmers in the U.
S. to become largely a class of tenants?
He calls attention to the fact that in go
improved lands in southern Minnesota
would not bring $40 an acre, in II in
northern Iowa land begged at s., in '76
cultivated quarters in Meeker and Kan
dipohi counties. Mimi, were doubtful
securities for $500 loans, and Is years
ago here land was a doubtful asset,
transfers rare, and the loan companies
that a few years ago came to grief on
$500 to $500 loans on quarter sections are
now eager to place 81 600 on the same
land. The passing of the government
homestead since 1910 means much to the
nation.

The charitable workers for the good of
orphan children have l n view a plan for
building a children's home at Fargo. A
lot has already been donated and en-
deavors are being made to raise the
funds. AS the institution will take and
care for orphans from all parts of the
state, each town should help along the
project through it's benevolent and char
liable institutions. What will Bismarck
do toward the home?

States shall abandon it's agency, since
practically all the reservation lies within
the boundaries of Benson county. Such
a result is extremely probable. In the
Indian voting case taken to the supreme
court by Benson county it was distinctly
held by the court that when the Indians
took their allotmcnts in scveralty under
the Dawes bill they became thereby cit
liens of the United States and that
thcnccforth they could not be denied any
of the rights and privileges of citizens.
Beyond Il question the effect of this de-
cision not only confirms to the Indian on
this reserve the voting franchise, but by
implication the lght to demand public
schools, roads, bridges, the support of
its poor, care of it's sick, and every other
incident of citizenship, and all at the
public expense. Already applications
for county aid have been made to the
board by pauper Indians. Upon the re-
serve there are from 1000 to 1900 In
oitllo, uilu lllC pOSSlDlc uuluCu VI CllclI
future support and control, to say
nothing of their power in politics, is a
prospect that alarms thinking people.
In the bearing of such a burden Nelson,
Ramsey and Eddy counties would have
no part, and, failing the accomplishment
the more comprehensive plan includ-
ing the removal of the Indians, they
would be satisfied with the simple open
ing Of the unallotted lands. If it we're
to derive any revenue from
the Indians by way of taxation the grav-
ity of the situation might be lightcncd
for Benson county, but their personal
property is so triiling in value that the
cost of assessment and collection would
exceed the returns. AS to the lands al
to them in %severalty, the title to
that still remains in the United States
and does not pass to the Indians so as to
taxable for some fifteen wears
yet.

Senator Teller of Colorado, in speak
ing Of the financial bill before con-
gress, to Which he is opposed because
Of his free silver leanings, said:
as there any necessity for this legis-
lation to increase American credit. l
would like ITO ask the Senator from
Rhode Island %(.Aldrich) whether there
is any trouble with American credit.
Is there any other country which can
sell its securities at such high prices us
we can? All Il bonds are higher
than are those of any other country.
Nobody is questioning our honesty.
And yet we have legislation here the
avowed purpose of which is to
strengthen our credit and relieve tax
ation."
Senator Teller here unconsciously
paid Il fine tribute to the financial sta-
bility of the nation. and to it's unblem-
ished reputation for honesty and
square dealing. Had the Bryanitcs
thrust their free silver notions into the
financial system of the country. SEN
a,or Teller would hardly have been
able to state THAT our bonds are higher
than any other country or hat our
honesty vas unquestioned.

Editor Tuttle is surprised that none of
the populists attended the grain growers
meeting at Fargo. He says: Walter
Muir, ex-Banker Miller, ex-senator
Roach, Ex-Governor Shortridge, Knud
Nomland, ex-State Auditor Porter, all
interested in agriculture, have not been
at Fargo this week. This is a remark
able state of affairs, and it leads to the
conclusion that the average populist is
more of a politician than a farmer.

Next Move May Be an Attempt to Invade
the Free State.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-History pauses for
a time in South. Africa. 1t is n Of
those unsatisfactory pauses that are
necessarily trying to British nerves as a
sequence to reverses, and it is expected
it will only terminate when Lord Rob-
erts will give the word for a forward
movement into the Free State, which,
according to the most cheerful view, he
will be unable to do for a fortnight.
Whether he will permit General Butler
to make another attempt to relieve Lady
smith is quite outside Of the knowledge
of those closely connected with the
war Office. With the troops due to ar
rive next month he may think himself
strong enough to try two large opera
tions. Combining the forces under
Lord Methuen, French and Gatacre and
advancing to them the arriving troops,
Lord Roberts would have 10000 for the
invasion of the Free State with 100000 to
$4,000 guarding communications and
10000 trying to rescue Ladysmith.
Troops at Sea and Ready to Sail.
Twenty thousand two hundred and
twenty-five men and 1855 guns are at
sea. Eleven thousand infantry and
5000 cavalry, including 5000 yeomanry,
are practically ready to embark. There
fore the government, without doing
more, a place at the disposal Of Lord
Roberts 10000 additional men and 1855
guns. The further purposes Of the war
Office officials are supposed to embrace
somewhere in the neighborhood Of 50,-
600 more men. AS the indication is
that candidates will be rather scarce,
the war Office will issue orders for those
reservists who were found unfit at the
previous mobilization examinations to
report for further examination.
The total casualties of the war, COM
piled from official reports, are 1928,
nearly a division. Of these 2,4S6 are
killed, 4,911 wounded and the rest are
prisoners.
The aggregate British home troops in
South Africa number 10000, the Ma
Italians 7,158 and Cape Colonials 81, 1000.

In seeking evidences of the improve

poets of trade and industry throughout
the country nothing affords more conclu-
sive proof of the better conditions than
the improved postal business. The post
office officials show from the records of

number of pieces of mail handled over
those of the preceding year amount to
nearly a million, while the face value in
postage of the increased mail business is
more than s9,OO0,0OO. The striking fact
in connection with these figures is that
it the largest increase during any twelve

annual increase in postal business dur
ing the past twenty years has been about

$1.37 per acre out of which to pay taxes

for the farmer. Wheat production has
reached the maximum. On $1,000 farms
there were 100000 horses, $4,000 cattle,

State Superintendent Halland issues n
circular to the teachers of the state, rela-
tive to ii fitting observance of the birth
DAYS of Washington and Lincoln. He
says:
During the coming month two legal
holidays occur, Lincoln birthday on the
18th Of February, and Washington's
birthday on the ODD of February. No
school shall be taught on a legal holiday
and you will desist from your regular
school work on those days. The reason
why these days were by statute designat-
ed as legal holidays and work and bust
ness thus cut down to a minimum was
not that of rest or vacation, but the en-
.actment was made in honor of and as a
mark of respect for the two greatest men
in American history and in gratitude to
Providence for the blessings he has
wrought through them and for the en-
couraging and inspiring example Of their
lives. Washington and Lincoln arc
names to c%onjurc by and call forth from
the bosom of the nation legions of heroes
and martyrs, if necessary. in behalf OF
civil liberty and equality. In them, their
words and deeds, the purest aspirations
and greatest achievements of our nation
are embodied. In them the spirit of the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States be-
came incarnate, and that consciously, as
Lincoln said in one of his addresses: 81
have never had Il feeling politically thai
did not spring from the sentiments en-
bodied in the Declaration of Indepen
dence." They are the ideals of Ameri
can manhood and citizenship. Thes'
ideals it is your duty as teachers to leat
your pupils to know, to honor and tt
love. 1t is one Of the misfortunes Of gu
common schools that history is mucl
neglected and frequently poorly taught
From it's wealth of material the youth o
the land should learn wisdom, find foo'
for thought, and standards with whicl
to measure the actions of men and IA
lions. The spirit of the great patriot
should be renewed and rekindled in tn
hearts of every new generation, for "fror
their ashes" they must guide our people
