PLAIN DEMOCRACY.

In the presidential campaign of
1904 the democratic party, it now
seems likely, will be found organ
ICED, on a sound democratic basis,
and fully equipped for victory in
the cause of the people.
The Reputation of American
principles SO distinctly made with
in the past three years by the re-
publican party leaves the demo-
cratic party alone representatives
Of the principles upon which the
American government was estab-
lished.
Trustism, Imperialism, a colon
ial policy modelled almost identic-
ally upon that of Great Britain, a
confessed determination to put
into effect the Hamilton theory of
q strongly centralized federal gov
eminent. denial Of the constitu-
tional rights Of the people in order
that privileged caste may be
made richer as the people become
poorer, are the things for which
present-day republicanism stands.
The menace of these things must
be removed by the removal of the
republican party from power.
The democratic national organ.
ization needs only to maintain q
democratic allegiance to the funda.
mental truths of democracy.
These truths demand the re.
stricting of the trust evil, the for.
bidding of the government Of
aliens by force against the consent
of the governed, faithful observ.
ance of the American principle Of
equal rights to all, special priv.
leges to none," and a national
government that shall not in effect
be federal monarchy on the
the Hamilton basis.
The demand for the suppress.
sion of these evil tendencies now
80 apparent in republican policies
must be met for the peoples sake
The democratic party of the
people.
There has never been PLANE,
duty before American democracy
There has never been a greater
promise of democratic victory il
behalf Of the common people
All that is necessary for victory
is that the democratic party shall
obey tho popular demand in
nominees and declarations ol
! principle.

FROM reliable information it is
learned that the population OF
Canada is about 100000. an in
crease of less than 100000 in ten
years. The census of 1891 gave
the Dominion a population of
4, 1888, 239, an increase Of 508,429
over 1881. Canada's slow growth
is attributed mainly to emigration
to the United States.

STATE EQUALIZATION.

The total assessed valuation
Of property in tho state this year
will be considerably greater than
that of last year. Tho increases
in real estate assessment made by
the state board of equalization
amount to more than $6,0OO,0O0.
Real property was returned by
the assessors through the state at
O,255,671. The county boards
of equalization raised these
figures to 81, 599,4 When the
state board completed their equal
ization, the total figures stood at
$77, 9,637, an increase of 81, $780,
600 over the figures first returned
by the assessors.
As equalized by the state board,
the figures show there are 49,.
$780, 42 acres of land on the tax
rolls of the state. The valae Of
tho land exclusive of structures is
60, 790,487. Structures on the
land are assessed at $3.50, 466 and
town lots in the state are assessed
at 4, 9S3 ,920 and structures on lots
at 6,5l4,764.
The extent to which the assessed
valuation of land is increased in
the big counties, is shown in the
following approximate figures:
Cass county is increased about
100000 from the figures returned
by the county board; Trail coun-
ty is increased 100000; Walsh
county is increased little more
than million dollars; Rlchland
gets an 100000 increase; Barnes
is increased 100000; Grand Forks
is increased over q million dollars
Morton gets a boost of half 6
million; Pembina is increased
100000; Ramsey 100000 and
Stark 100000. The other counties
are increased by only small
amounts,
The total personal propert,
values in the state are 25,229, 7O6
These figures will probably be
increased by the state board tc
approximately 26,500,000. Tax.

now estimated at 1,54O,OOO,0Oo an in
crease Of more than 100000. An

is the fact that the Americans are fast

The increase in the Americas for the
past ten years is 100000, while in
Europe it is 100000. 1t is estimated

not the same species as the New Eng

"In all my forty years experience

to hear of a willow tree being struck

to attract the electricity, and oak and
other large trees and even many small

But willow trees seem for some reason
to be immune to death or injury in

When it is considered that the differ
ence in feet required to make the
change is but ninety-seyen feet, or
less than four strides Of a horse in
full trotting Fction, or that a horse
would have to gain but nine inches in
every second in order to reach the
coveted mark, it would seem that the
rate Of progress would be greater, but
such Is not the case. To trot mile in
tSo minutes n horse would have to
travel forty-four feet second. Cres-

The remarkable discovery Of large
subterranean beds of ice Of undoubt-

ago by Baron Toll, and the last issue
of the Bulletin Of the Russian Geo
graphical Society contains a memoir
by him describing these old fossils and
giving several Photographic reproduc-
tions Of their appearance. He found
them on the great Lyakhof Island Of
New Siberia in seventy-fOur degrees
north latitude. These beds Of ice
undoubtedly date from the glacial
period and contain branches, roots and
other remains of trees which do not
now grow above seventy degrees of
north latitude They are covered with
several layers Of soil The ice has
apparently been preserved by the per-
manent and perhaps increasing cold Of
this region.

The thunderheads, high white PIN
nacles of cloud, are of two types. The
first type, known as heat clouds, are
small in size, looking like puffs Of
steam, and may melt in the intense
heat without causing a shower. While
they indicate a thunderstorm tenden-
cy, yet such a storm may not occur
nearer than a hundred miles, The
true thunderheads, which result in
such storms nearby, are narrow at
the top, have some stratiication at
their bases, and are from ten to ff-
teen degrees in width. They form all
around the horizon, and not in small
detached patches like the heat clouds.
