ssThe Casino Girl, y which begins a half
week engagement at the Metropolitan to-
night, was originally produced at the
Casino in the fall of 1899 and after an
extended run was taken to the Shaftes-
bury theater, in London In its English
engagement the extravaganza was ire
mendeusly successful and the run was
continued for the better part of year.
So popular did the piece become with our
English cousins, that three companies
were organized to exploit the merriment
in the provinces, and so favorable was
their reception that their tours have been
continued to the present time. The
original company returned to this country
late last spring and played supple>
mentary season of six weeks at the
Knickerbocker theater, New York, and
was withdrawn to fill engagements in
Philadelphia and Chicago. Outside Of
these cities, in this country "The Casino
Girl has not been seen. Fun, melody

souri, was not yet state, and the battle
must be fought over again. Up to this
time the question had not given serious
difficulty. Slavery had been abolished in
those states north of Mason and Dixon's
line, the boundary between Maryland and
Pennsylvania. This line ran to the Ohio
river and from the point of junction that
waterway formed the dividing boundary
between the slave and free territory
But when the TIDE of settlement flowed
beyond the MISSISSIPPI the Ohio would no
longer serve. A new barrier must be
found or slavery would sweep over that
vast Western territory like surglng sea.
When the question came up again at
the next session not the two parties but
the two sections stood facing each othe-
in angry lines OF battle. Maine, also, ap-
piled for admission. The house was in
the control of the free states, while
majority in the senate favored slavery.
There was no objection to admitting
Maine and the bill providing such admis-
sion was passed by the house, as was
also that admitting Missouri without
slavery. But the senate contained some
good politicians They united the two

1t is doubtful whether a better illustra-
ton has yet been offered of the extraor-
binary position in which the govern
ment of the United States finds itself
with reference to long accepted and rec
ognfzed constitutional principles, than is
furnished by the text as well as by the
provisions of the bill just agreed on 10y
the house committee of ways and means
for the settlement of the tariff middle in
the Philippines.
The first section of the proposed en-
actment reads as follows:
BE 1t enacted. etc. that the provisions
amend the tariff laws of the Paiappine
archipelago enacted by the United
States Philippine commission on Sept. II,
1901, shall be and remains in full force
and effect.
Here We have the situation of the
United States congress recognizing the
power of an administrative body to make
laws for the government of human beings
living Under the free flag OF the United
States, and supposed to be in possession
of the rights and i1nmunities which are
inherent in such a relationship. - = $

Flowing was continued in this state
until well along into November, and for
that reason some paper which is publish
ed outside of the state foresees the time
when North Dakota will be a winter
wheat state. The writer was evidently
not familiar with wheat raising. North
Dakota is not winter wheat state and
probably never Will be. There is no
reason why her people should wish to en-
gage In the raising of this crop. In the
states where it is raised it requires two
years to raise crop, as the seed must
be sown in August or September. In
very few cases is an attempt made to
raise wheat on land which has raised
crop the preceding year, and it is likely
that the people of this state will confine
their wheat raising operations to the
spring crop, which has given such good
results in the past-Grand Forks Herald.

Congress will make no mistake If 1t

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson concern
ing the enlargement of the scope of the
work being done by his department.
There is no other department of the gov
eminent whose operations are of such
direct benefit to the people as are those
of the department of agriculture. The
work of educating the farmers Is Of vast
Importance. Last year more than half a
million farmers attended the institutes
held in various parts of the country, and
there is no doubt that they received in
struetion which will prove Of great prac-
teal value to them. The secretary de-
sires to carry this educational work fur

rural districts. He would do this along

tries, notably Sweden, where school gar
dens are maintained by the state for the

china,s Decadenee.

The great cause of China's decadence
is the failure to get the right men to
shepherd the people. There are only
three paths which our dynasty has opened
to office The first is examination, the
second recommendation and the third Is
purchase Those who enter by examina-
ton are entirely ignorant oflaw and tax
alton and the principles of government.
Hence they are at the mercy Of secrs-
taries and clerks whose life business 1t
is to manage things for successive Of
ficials. Hence abuses galore are ia
evitable AS to those recommended. they
are mostly put forward for unworthy mo-
tives. and not on account of their fitness
for the posts. The purchasers of Office
are worse still, for in their case the only
question asked is the length of their
purse The really able men Ghe village
Cromwells) are left to waste their sweet
ness on the desert air. The actual in
cumbents Of the shepherds office nave
neither ability nor knowledge. Each OF
them is anxious to make his pile of snowy
metal for his family and descendants

With ignorance working in its every
day bliss disguise, the man from Duluth
felt mighty fine and dandy as he canter-
ed UP the street in his nice new over
coat. The clever Yahooda clerk had sue
ceeded in cutting down the left over
stock of 1900 model raglans by one, but
the man from Duluth did not know this
and he Just felt convinced that he was
the observed of all observers as he wend-
ed his way. UP Fifth street toward the
Windsor hotel
1t was all sunshine outside The little
dickey birds fluttered about the street,
chirping merry little chirps and two
blooded hunting purps were having the
time of their lives IN a friendly game Of
tag
The man from Duluth intended to put
up at the Windsor, but the new coat
compelled a proud feeling, and he hated
to move in behind the scenes. He wanted
all the fair sex to see the real article
In the swell line, and, stopping at Fifth
and st. Peter, he pretended to study the
facade of the new postoffice.
All this time the jolt that gallops along
in the wake of that proud feeling was
hurrying up, the dickey birds were chirp-
ing and the hunting purps were playing
tag.
The man from Duluth, from the corner
of his eye, saw a winsome little maiden
hurrying up ST. Peter street and he
swung the front of the 1900 model raglan
around.
The purps were still deeply interested
in their game of tag.
The man inside the raglan saw the
maiden draw nearer. and he spread his
feet apart and prepared for a winning
pose. The maiden looking down the track
saw the man from Duluth and she smiled.
The wearer of the 1900 model thought
he was it, but he had mixed his deduc-
lions, for the two purps compelled the
smile fitting across the face of the win
some maiden and the next minute the
man from Duluth knew it.
He heard a swish Of air and felt his
feet shoot out from under him. His
head, missing the support of the feet,
moved rapidly down to the pavement and

out the unconstitutional ends of the i'm.
perialists it is necessary through this law
to make further exhibition Of the irrecon-z
cilability of the position We occupy In
the Philippines with every conception OF
free government. In the very next sec.
ton we have the situation presented of
congress levying a tariff on the products
of thu Philippines which are American
domestic territory, and suspending the
operation of the laws governing coast
wise shipping, which are in operation in
principle on the part of every nation ex-
tant whereby foreigners are prevented
from engaging in domestic shipping.
Again in the final provision of the law It
is enacted that the internal revenue tax.
authorized by law to be levied on certain
manufactured articles is suspended with
reference to such articles in bonded ware
houses which are In process of shipment
to the Philippines
What becomes of the principle OF
equality of taxation guaranteed by the
constitution, if legislation of this charac-
ter can be enacted? What is there to
prevent congress and the president at any
time under such a system of eonstitu-
tIonal construction from levying a tariff
on goods shipped into the state of Min
nesota from the territory of Oklahoma,
OF from authorizing Canadian vessels to
engage in the carrying trade between the
head of Lake Superior and any other
| port of our great inland seas? What
| is there to prevent congress suspending
| ali the constitutional rights now enjoy
| ed by the great American communities
| in the Klondike country, or from dele
eating the government of that great sec
| ton of the United States to one or ten
or a hundred men appointed by Roosevelt
and confirmed by the Republican ma
/ jority in the senate?
There is nothing whatever. The truth
is that if the national policy represented
by the proposed enactment is to prevail,
it is demanded by every consideration of
public enlightenment that we give UP
the pretence that the American federal
government is a government of limited
and delegated powers, and admit that SO
far at least as relates to the territories
it is purely absolute political system.

According to the Republican prints the
governor is a very eare-free man these

The Pension and Claim Frauds.

Nearly 5000 private bills were intro
duced in congress on the first day of the
session last week. Most of these were
pension and other claims. Thus is the
time of our national legislators taken up
with triding affairs, to the exclusion of
more important business. In pension
matters it got so that whenever pension
claim is rejected by the pension office the
claimant gets his congressman to intro
duce bill to At his case, and by personal
dickers between members thousands OF
these bills get through.-Litchfeld Inde-
