Too Many State .
tutl0ns,
ABurden to T~axpaysrs.

The state legislature meets on January
8, and as has been the case since state
hood, the legislature will be confronted
by an empty treasury, and a multiplicity
of demands for appropriations. The
first duty of the general assembly will be
to authorize a temporary loan for the pur-
pose of providing for the expe nse of the
session.
The financial condition of the state is
due principally to the fact that at the
outset public institutions we're provided
for far in exces of the needs of the state,
or IFS ability to pay for their support. The
constitution adopted in 1880 authorizes
the establishment and provides for the
location of a state capitol, a penitentiary,
an insane asylum, a school for the deaf,
two normal schools, a state university,
an agricultural college and an industrial
school, all of which have been built and
are in operation. In addition to these,
provision was made for public %institu-
tons in Grafton, in Pembina county, ard
a school of forestry in Rolette, county.
None of these have yet been established
but the people of the districts named are
more urgent in thier demands each year
for the establishment of the institutions
awarded to them.
The state was organized with a popu-
lation of about 10000 most of whom
were pioneers trying to wrest a living
from the newly broken prairie soil. Yet
the young and sparsely settled state was
equipped with institutions sufficient in
number for a state vastly older. more
populous and more wealthy: This con
dition of things was the result of a log
rolling process, in which the representa-
tives of each particular locality, in order
to secure an institution for their section,
agreed to vote for some other institution,
in some other place.
There is no one direction in which
more money is squandered than in con-
nection with the educational institutions,
and this fact is due, partly to multiplicity
of schools, and partly to the fact that
| much OF the work of these schools is du-
plicated.
There are two normals, with two for
ces of instructors, both doing the same
work. The consolidation of these two
schools would save several thousand dol
lars annually, and the arrangement of
| the course OF study in such a manner that
they will be simply and solely profes
sional schools for the training of teachers
instead of encroaching, as they do, on
high school work at n end of the course
and on university work at the other, sew
eral thousand dollars more would be
saved. The folly and expensiveness of
conducting, as W o separate institutions,
the state university and the agricultural
college, duplicating a large portion Of
the work, instead of making the latter an
adjunct of the former, is too manifold to
require argument.
The man who can present a plan
whereby the work in the various state
institutions can best be simpli6ed, un.
necessary ones weeded out, and local
jealousies be appeased, SO that the plan
of reform may not be defeated by local
politicians, will earn the everlasting
gratitude of the taxpayers of the state.

parent knows this, and she saves the
larder from a wholesale onslaught by
locking things up.
Now, If there is one thing in particu-
Lar that this youth dotes upon it Is
jelly. But jelly is an article of food
that takes time and skill in its prep

jars at his disposal-well, there would

mornings. So the jelly is locked up

The other morning the youth let him

streaks of dawn were crossbarring

bread awaiting him, but his soul

hunt for some. Taking a slice Of bread
and a knife, he stole down cellar and

NoT IN THE PLAY.
A Case Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind,

A Case Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind.
A short time ago a great historical
play was being given in an Italian
thcater. The king had to read his
speech from the throne. He was snr.
rounded by the court. all the repre-
sentative mobiles of the nation, the gov.
ernors of the provinces and the heads
of the army.
Clad In his magnificent robes Qined
with rabbit skim he stalked majestic
ally across the stage. and. with fitting
hauteur, slowly ascended the steps
leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low. and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
to read the royal speech.
All waited attentively to catch the
words from the royal lips, but his maj
esty found. to his chagrin, that the
roll was blank. The speech was long
and had not been committed to mem
DRY.
1t was impossible to get through it
with the aid of the prompter. for he
was too far away to render the need
full service. A bright thought passed
through the royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as If to
gather the gist Of the speech, he again
folded 1t and handed 1t back to the
chancellor with the command:
"You read it."
The chancellor was somewhat put
out, but dutifully took the roll and
opened It. only to discover the royal
pleasantly. ~whereupon. again rolling
the parchment up and taking from his
breast the Respondent tin order. he
laid them together ut the kings feet.
with:
Your majesty, as I cannot read the
speech, l tender my resignation" and
walked OF the stage.

ACCORDING to a Helena dispatch
twelve buffalo were recently
slaughtered there for meat. The
animals were raised in the Flat
head valley, Missoula county,
Montana. To the early settlers
of this country this will bring to
mind the slaughter of the Ameri-
can bison during the early eighties.
In those days the Northern Pacific
trains had to wait some times
while a herd of buffalo crossed
the track.

If the Constitution of the Uuited States
had worked az its farmers intended, we
should all be looking forward to the l4th
of January with very keen interest, and
probably also with excitement, heated
controversy, and no little turmoil. For,
although very few people to be
aware OF the fact, it is the I4th of Ian
uary, 1901, and not the 9th of November,
1900, that is fixed by law as the date
for the election of the President and Vice
President who are to be inaugurated on
the 4th of March.
On the second Monday of the present
month of January, AT citizens who we're
chosen for that purpose last November
are to vote for a President and Vice
President of the United States. Each
n of these men has a perfect legal
right to vote for any person whatsoever,
or to vote a blank. Or, he may disregard
his obligation and not vote at all. So far
as We are aware, all of the All electors
are yet alive, and there is no one through
out the length and breath of the land
who does not expect with entire conf
dence that Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Roose-
welt will receive 1872 of their votes, and
that MI. Bryan and Mr.. Stevenson will
receive exactly I55.
Yet nj pledges have been cxacted from
any of of these men. Their legal duty
does not extend beyond the simple re.
quirement that they SHALL meet in their
respective states and vote by ballot fol
