The following addresses of jury md

Grafton, N. D., Feb. 9th, 1901.
Hon. w. j. Kneeshaw, Judge ofsthe
7th Judicial District:
Your Honor:
This is the first term of court which
you have held in this county since your
election to the exalted position to which
the people Of this district have, BY their
votes, elevated you.
On behalf of my fellow jurors desire
to express to you at this time our deep
appreciation of the universally, courteous
and kind treatment which we, as jurors,
have received at your hands, and our
thanks for the manifest efforts which you
have, during the term, put forth to look
after our comfort and welfare. Jury
duty is a part of the obligations which
we, as citizens, owe to the sovereigntyof
the state, and it is one requiring our
most diligent efforts to faithfully per
form, and consequently involving a GER
tain amount of hardship. But we want
to say that your clear and simple manner
of stating to us the law in each particular
case, has greatly lessened the difficulties
we have had to contend with, and in ap.
precatlop of your diligent work and un-
remittent kindness and courtesy, we
want to express to you our best wishes
for your continued success upon the
bench of this district.

There are quite a number Of news
paper editors and others who criticise
the Legislature, something like this: half
the legislature session over and only a
half dozen bills passed" This is not a
fair criticism Of the work done. Up to
this time there have been about 800 stills
introduced. It's a manifest impossibility
forSeach legislator to read over and study
the merits ofso many bills even if each
were qualified to do so, for many Of
these bills are on technical procedure at
law, on revenue, or other particulap sub
jects Of which few people possess in
formation sufficient to pass judgment on
all Of them. They arereferred to special
committees, who have all proposed
legislation on the different subjects sort
ed out and referred to them for con-
sideTation. Nearly all the preliminary
part of any session Of all Legislative
bodies is consumed in the introduction
of bills and the reference and study of
the bills by the various committees and
the latter is almost entirely done at COM
mittee rooms outside of the time of the
Legislative sessions. And it is rare that
the report Of the committees on the vari-
Gus bills, whether for or against,is chang
ed by the vote of the legislature.t A Dill
may be introduced, read three times in
both houses and passed according to the
report Of a committee and the whole
thing not occupy but few minutes of
the legislative time, but may*have taken
several hours Of time in the committee.
The various committees will now on be
reporting bills for action by the legisla-
ture and things will seem to go faster.
This may seem to be telling what every
body knew before, bnt in view Of the
public criticisms mentioned above it
seems well to repeat it.

PUBLIC EMERGENCY CLAUSE
LAWS.

Under the constitution OF the state a
very wise provision was made by which
laws enacted by the legislature should
not go into effect until the July following.
This provision has gone pretty nearlyinto
innocuous desuetude and almost any old
bill now passed has an emergency
clause" hitched on that makes the law of
immediate effect. The idea of the con-
st,tutional provision was that people
should have an opportunity of knowing
the provisions Of the law before it goes
into operation.
4 Under the present custom, not only the
common people but officials Of the vari-
Gus civil organizations who have to do
business under these emergency clause
laws, generally, don't even know that
such laws have passed and even if they
do, cannot get copy, except by paying
large fees to the secretary of the state,
until such time as the session laws have
been published which even then,
most officials and all private persons
have to buy.
tits manifest absnrdity to require an
official to perform official duties under
laws that require more than a reasonable
amount OF diligence on his part to learn
Of even their existence.
Only very extraordinary circumstances
should make a new law active DURING
the session. Only extraordinary circum-
stances should make new law active
even at the end ofthe session, and in
every case all emergency clause laws
should be given the widest circulation. at
the cost Of the state, through the news
papers at the earliest possible moment
after the close Of the session. Under
such q: custom too, il might be that
emergency clauses would be oitener
omitted BY the authors or legislators.

CUBA.

AS this paper has previously intlmated,
our peculiar relations with Cuba are
likely to bring us into far more serious
complications than we will or can have
with the Philippines. In the latter, the
question of authority may to some extent
have to be settled by force, but the final
result is not question.
With Cuba it is different. Cuba is
ours and yet is not ours. It's an anom-
!. alous situation. We promised to free
Cuba and make it an independent coun-
try. Nobody has the least desire to 20
back on that promise, though our most
intelligent statesmen now realize the folly
of such promise. We could have
made Cuba free and independent in
every reasonable sense, just as we have
Hawaii and Porto Rico and still kept it
as q part and parcel of this country. But
the promise was made and has to be
kept, and now begin the difficulties of
separation, for it is no less. Whatever
the technical state Of Cuba during and
since the Spanish American war, the
actualfact is and has been that Cuba has
been part of this country. for all gem
eral political purposes, and because Of
this, the United States has incurred cer-
tain grave responsibilities for the future
Of Cuba.
Cuba must not only be made free and
independent but the United States must
keep it SO. a Arepublican form Of gov
ernment must not only be established
there but must also be maintained there.
The Spanish-C Creole, negro population
are not Of the best material for these
purposes and maintenance. There IS q
large debt incurred by Spain for the sub
DUNG Of rebellion there. The bonds are
owned by capitalists ofother nations who
would be- only too glad Of an opportunity
to enforce the payment against Cuba.
There is also . large war debt incur-
red BY the Cubans themselves, which the
creditors want de new republic to as
sumo. and whichsit probably will assume.
All new countries ars likely "a bee
travagant and even Il not. have many
reasons for running into debt The new

Will be surprised to learn
that, Notwithstanding the
derse population OF China and the
centuries since tie country has brcoue
thicl1y populated. II is still the best
stocked with game Of any country III
the world.
Even i'll the regions about pckin,

where villages dot the plains every
mile or two and the population exceeds
1000 to the square mile. wolves, foxes,
raccoons, wcaa2ls and rabbits are so
thick as TO he pests, while such game
as pigeons, quail, grouse and rice
birds are found in immense focl.S. TIE
wolves Of China are particularly nu-
merouS and fearless, and many lives
nre lost every winter from their depre-
dations.
The Chinese farmers do not live on
the land that they cultivate. but gath
er themselves in small villages every
mile or two. For protection from th..
wolves which infest that county the 10
villages Are usually surrounded by
mud walls, Oh which are painted large
white rings. These white rings are for
the purpose Of frightening The wolves
away, the Chinese believing that the
wolves think that the rings are the
rising sun, or else traps which they
must avoid, ana IN fear OF which they
stink back TO their lairs
During the summer the Chinese are
too busy with their crops to give much
attention to eyterminatiEg pests or
taking game but In the winter they
gather for great wolf drives and with
their swords and pixies beat out the
fields and kill large numbers of the
animals.
One reason why game is so thick In
China Is the absence of any finished
weapon to hunt with. Although the
