SNOWFALL IN NORTH DAKOTA
Adds Greatly to Seriousness of Crop
Situation.
Wires Down In Several Places-Re-
ports Various States Tell Of
Damage by Frosts.

st. Paul, MIMI, Sept. 18.-A special
from jamestown, N. D., says: A heavy
fall of snow over James River valley
Wednesday adds greatly to the serious
ness of the crop situation. 1t is esti-'
mated that the fall was three inches
deep. Opinions differ as to the damage
to the corn crops, but authorities agree
that it will amount to a large sum.
Wires on the Northern Pacific railroad
are down in several places.
Milwaukee, Sept. 1S.-The weather
bureau in Milwaukee reports a light to
heavy frost throughout Wisconsin
Wednesday night, with a probability
that it was killing in many localities.
The northern and central portions suf-
fered the most, the southern section re-
porting light frost. ~
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1S.-Heavy clouds
prevented frost Wednesday night inthe
eastern half of Nebraska. In the ex-
IRENE western and northwestern parts
of the state frost fell Wednesday night,
adding to the heavy damage that was
done the night before. An estimate Of
the damage done to crops in this state
has not been completed, but it is feared
that it will reach a large figure.

The resignation is quite likely to be an
nounced within a day or two, but may
be postponed until Mr.. Balfour has an
opportunity to make his promised public
announcement on October l..
King May Aver Resignation.
There is just a last chance that the
king, in his private capacity, may avert
what is now declared to be inevitable.
Mr.. Chamberlain's resignation is almost
certain to cause an appeal to the coun-
try, MI. Balfour being thus left without
the support of either the protectionists
or the free traders. Chancellor of the
Exchequer Richie and his followers are
as openly opposed to any measure of
%retaliatory tariffs as Nh. Chamberlain is
convinced that the unity of the empire
depends on preferential duties in favor of
the colonies. With the exception of a
few liberal organs, who viewed Mr.. Bal
four's pamphlet as a reputation of Mr..
Chamberlain's policy, there has scarcely
been a seriously considered suggestion
that Mr.. Chamberlain would retire from
Office. But the generally accepted hope
that he would retain his portfolio is
shattered, and the news, when it becomes
generally known, will come like a thun-
derclap not only to the supporters of
the government, but to all other polit-
ical sections. BY Mr.. Chamberlain's de-
lection practically all the existing party
lines will be swept away, and Their re-
construction must largely depend ON Mr..
Chamberlain's future attitude. That he
will be content to retire from public life
can scarcely be considered. 1t ia be-
lieved he will not ally himself with
either side, but will rally to the banner
of his preferential programme all the
support he can gather from every quar-
ter. Mr.. Chamberlain can rely on the al
most solid Irish vote when he confines
himself to fiscal ideas.
It is announced definitely that Mr..
Chamberlain urged his colleagues to ap-
peal to the country on the preferential
trade issue. He admitted they would be
defeated, but maintained that six months
of weak, liberal government would put
the party back in power with an i'm
proved standing.

mo MORE FREE RIDES.
Stockmen Will Be Required to Pay
Return Fares.

As though they were not already
receiving little enough for their ami
mails when taken to market, the stock
men Of the state are confronted with
| another matter that threatens to ma
| terially reduce what trifing profit
some Of them have been able to make.
After January 1 they will be denied
the courtesy of free transportation
back from the east, thus changing a
custom that has obtained since the
first train of stock was taken from
the west.
Notice has been sent out by the rail-
roads that on and after the first OF
next month the issuance of free Or
reduced rates of transportation to
shippers or attendants with livestock
will be discontinued and that stock
men will be carried free only while
actually travelling with their stock
and Il care of the same and on the
same trains. 1t is also specified that
the attendants must be either the
owners or those in actual charge and
care of stock while in transit. Return
ing, all such must pay the regular
rates of fare from the east to the
point of destination.
Last summer, when the northwest
ern lines centering in Chicago, called
a meeting and discussed the matter OF
disseminating the custom of furnish
ing free transportation home to ship
pers of livestock, it was generally be-
lieved by the men aimed at that moth
ing would come of the matter. The
proposed step was such a radical one
that it's adoption was regarded as
unlikely. But /, as it now seems, they
were too confident and custom has
been obliged to give way to the wishes
and mandates of the men who run
the railroads.
If the rule is enforced by all the
roads and strictly adhered to it will
entail a large aggregate loss upon the
shippers of the state. Many make
not only one, bue several shipments

The Progressive Farmer, in dis
GUESSING the failure of justice in the
courts, thinks that one great defci-
ency is that the defendant in a
capital case has twenty-three chal-
lenges in selecting the jury while the
State has only four, an advantage
which permits a shrewd lawyer to Sc
lect just the sort of jury he wants.
In many States the State and the
defendant have an equal number of
challenges, while in only a few
is the disparity so great as it is in
North Carolina. The Farmer says:
"Equalize the number of chaI-
lenges. Give the State the right of
appeal. These reforms ought to be
discussed in the press and ON the
platform throughout North Carolina,
and the next General Assembly
should put them on our statute
books. 1t is the painful truth that

weakens\ respect for law, fosters

give the prisoner his twelve chances
to one before the jury, but if the
public is not to lose the power of
self-protection, it must be on an
equal footing with the criminal in
selecting the jury and in righting the
wrongs brought about by unjust rul-
ings or corrupt practices"

Reviewing the two recent notable
murder trials, The Progressive Farm
er suggests that the time has come
when the prosecution must be put on
an equal footing with the defence.
At present the defence has six times
as many peremptory challenges as
the prosecution, and, what is of great
advantage, the defence has right of
appeal while the prosecution, i. e.,
the State, has none. These sugges-
tions strike US as timely and wise.
Chief Justice Clark but recently
pointed out that the present advan-
tages of the defence are survivals of
a day when the man ON trial had no
such advantages as are now provided
for him. We feel sure that our Gen
eral Assembly will be powerfully
moved to make changes in this direc-
tion.-Biblical Recorder.

Equalize the Number Of Challenges and
Give the State the Right of Appeal.
The Progressive Farmer, sum-
ming up statistics which it has col
lated, showing the number of chal-
lenges allowed the defence and the
number allowed the State in capital
cases in the different States of the
Union, finds that for the country at
large two peremptory challenges are
allowed the defendant for n given
the State, while in North Carolina
the defence has five challenges to the
States one. Our contemporaries
suggestions, therefore, for prevention
of the miscarriages of justice, are
"Equalize the number of challenges
give the State the right of appeal"
Very good, contemporary, but youl
suggestions will never be adopted.

Cumberland County Alliance.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
On Wednesday before the second
Thursday in October, Cumberland
County Farmers Alliance held its
regular meeting with Goodwin Sub at
Goodwin. President Hector Strick-
land being absent, Bro. S. j. Nc
Laurin, vice-president, called the
meeting to order and announced to
the audience that we were going to
hold open meeting and that all pres
ent were invited to remain in the
hall during our deliberations. There
we're several spectators present, and
ladies and children, too. We are
glad that the ladies of Cumberland
County are again taking an interest
in the Farmers Alliance. We should
always discuss something at our
meetings to encourage the ladies to
attend our meetings, and also to
participate in them. All good ALI
ance people should also endeaver to
train the youthful minds in the Far
mers' Alliance principles, so that the
boys and girls will become useful
members of our Order. This end
can only be accomplished by the old
er active members performing their
whole duty, and not by fault-fnding.
We know of members of Alliance
families that take no interest in Al
lance work; they seem to think that
there is no good in the Alliance, ex-
cept financially, from the fact that
they have not been informed other
wise. I suggest that all the Subs
endeavor to build themselves up in
this hammer and report at next coun-
ty meeting their success or failure,
ETC.; also discuss all the phases of
farming for the past year.
