No residence in Bismarck is SO

The citizens of Bismarck have re-

o to Get Thin.

In a French journal is announced
the discovery Of a means, as simple
as it is strange, for curing obesity,
which is attributed to n medical off,
Ger in the army. Thanks to this
means, a colonel who was threaten
ed 10 be Obliged to retire from the
army, as be was SO heavy that ii re-
quired two men to lift him into the
saddle, became so thin in a few
weeks, and to such an extent that
be had 10 take means to recover,
in a measure, what he had lost.
II was to his doctor that he was in
debted for becoming a general. The
means consisted simply in never
eating more than n dish at each
meal, no matter what that dish may
be, and a person may consume as
much as the stomach al bear, and
satisfy the appetite without the least
reserve. Nevertheless, nothing but
one dish should be taken; no condi-
ments or soups. or supplementary
deserts should be allowed. This
system was recommended to a lady
who was slightly obese, and who
put it into use with the best results.
The lady observed that she suffered
no inconvenience whatever from this
diet, and the result obtained by the
medical officer may be well under
stood, as she found by her own ex-
perienee that the p~artaking Of only
one dish, whether it he meat, fish
or vegetables, brought on a sense OF
safety much sooner than il she had
partaken OF a variety of dishes,
whence the effect of relative absti-
hence.

A wore on TaxatIOa.

We have not studied the State
constitution closely enough to de-
termine for ourselves whether the
laws of the state can be so framed
under il, as to allew the entire re-
venue for state expenses to be de-
rived from tax assessments on cor
porations and public franchises all
together or not, but that is what
we believe ought to be done, and to
this could be added a tax on in
comes and inheritances if the other
should prove insufficient. This
would leave the assessment on real
estate and personal property for 10
cal purposes and relieve the people
Of the burdens of at least fifty per-
cent of the taxes now paid by them.
This system of taxation has exist
ed in Pennsylvania for many years
to the entire satisfaction of her peo-
pie and accounts in no small degree
for the tremendous republican ma
jorities in that state. New York
has recently adopted what is called
the Ford law, with the same end in
view, and other Republican states
are carrying out in some form the
same idea as fast as it can be done
without radical and sudden change:
of systems that might disturb busi.
ness and work hardships on estab-
lished interests. Such laws are N
perfect harmony with, aud are, il
fact, adjuncts to, the protective poi.
icy of the Republican party. Il
our state constitution will not allow
the adoption of such laws let ul
have a constitution that will. w,
believe there is a way to levy take
that will so encourage business tina
taxes will be paid without burden Il
the people and that the Republican
party will give the people such rev.
erue laws as will demonstrate th'
fact. We have no hope that ,h'
Democratic party will ever do so
We know they won't until they be
come so impregnated with the Re
publican idea Of protection tc
business interests that they vii
cease TO be Democratic.

A Triumph of Surgery.

Il is related that a Mrs. MeHan,
of New York City, had been suffer.
ing for a long time without relief.
Finally her family physician, DIR.
Cornelius Dunnot, called IN consul
tation DR.. Fraenkel and they dag.
nosed the case as a tamof growing
agains, the spinal cord, which
would, Of course, result In beI death.
II was found that ia order to get to
the tumor, in the place DR.. Fmen-
kel located Il, a section Of the back
bone would have 10 be removed.
Accordingly a section Of the back
bone nearly eight inches long wa'
removed. The tumor was found
pressing agains. the spinal cord as
described by the surgeon and wa'
cut out, the section OF backbone re-
placed, and IT Is expected Mrs. Me
Han will recover.

are right and good in their place

Most Of them arc for moral and ed
vocational purposes and will be an
everlasting benefit to the interests
designed to be promoted by the

only the few. A far larger field
and a far more useful one, it seems

News Notes From the Ca pl,al

Ever since the House Of Repre-
sentitines so Unexpectedly overrul-
ed the decision OF the Chairman
of the Committee Of the Whole on
last Friday and, by a coalition Of
the beet sugar and extreme pro.
lection contingents Of the republic
cans and the democrats, amended
the Cuban reciprocity bill so as to
provide for the removal Of the diff
erential on refined sugar, and al.
so, though unwittingly, the count
ervailing duty, affairs in the CAPT.
tol have been IN an almost chaotic
state. Both houses Of Congress
have continued to perform routine
business but the Cuban bin has
been uppermost in the minds and
conversation Of all and yet no one
knew what would be the outcome.
The first definite statement on the
subject was n made to me by
Senator Mcmillan on Tuesday
when he said tina, the bill sent up
from the House would not be per.
mitted to die in the Senate Com
miitee on Relations with Cuba.
Before that time that end had
been freely predicted by republi-
cans aud democrats alike.

The Democratic Primaries.

The Democratic primaries were
exceedingly democratic. We don'I
want anything Of the kind in the
Republican party. They were ex.
pensiye to the candidates and de-
moralizing to the people, and arc
no more satisfactory TO either than
would have been a nominating con-
%venlion. Only one or two Of tbe
candidates, who had any opposition
is the choice Of the majority Of bis
party and some of them not of one
third of the party. If the people Of
each township had selected repre-
sentatiyes to a convention and these
representatives selected the candi-
dates they would have been equally
as satisfactory as at present and the
expense would have been far less
and the decentralization reduced to a
minimum.
We thoroughly believe a Repub-
liean torn Of government is better
than a pure Democracy. A govern
ment Of the people, that is, deriving
It's just powers from the people, BY
the people, Indicated by their ex-
preston in local meetings assem-
bled, for the people, BY their repre-
sen,atiyss assembled 10 give ex-
preston to the viii Of their eonstitu-
enis As expressed in their local
assemblies, is what we want ia this
country, whether Il is for the gov
smmsnl Of 4 party or the people.
