complish their purpose. This Claw
is to be found on page 16 of the
"Pocket Edition" of the laws
passed by the last assembly. and
we invite our readers to examine
the marvel. It enables aldermen
to 'sell" or 'lease" city property
with neatness and dispatch. All
that is necessary is for major
ity Of the members to get togeth
er some quiet evening in Especial
session. with no one to disturb
1 their deliberations. "sell' the lots
to whomsoever they wish, atwhat-
ever price they please, without the
annoyance of any one to bid
against them. bring certificate
Of the city treasurer that the "pur-
! chaser" has paid the price" with
a deed ready drawn. leaving the
mayor only the trouble to put the
city's signature to the document
to complete the robbery. Or they
may lease "a ''lot" to some patriot
for ''ninety-uine years." during
which time the lessee draws the
revenue, while the city pays the
tax. We wonder why this shady
looking measure did not meet the
governors veto. when yetoes
seemed to be SO plentiful. At first
we had supposed that the very es-
sential assistance Of the governors
approval had been secured by his
being deceived as to its villainous
character, but we have been told
that Mayor Register and DR..
Smyth, one of the aldermen, went
to the governor. in their official
capacities. with their objections
formulated in writing. phrased in
much better language and logic
than we can command. and en-
tered their emphatic protest, as
such officers, against the approval
Of the proposition. but without
avail as it was a few days later
approved, emergency clause and
all, and has thus been "a law
aEille y I february 10 by executive
sanction. With the right kind of
a mayor in the chair what are the
possibilities under such "law?"
Happily for Bismarck, the people
by their vote elected a mayor, with
whom their interests are safe. and
we predict the continued prosper
ity of the city along the proper
lines of honesty.

The Bismarck politicians we're
against Mayor Register, but the
people were with him, in his re-
election by handsome majority.
This speaks we'll for the city, and
the good sense of a majority of it's
inhabitants. The grievance the
politicians had against mayor
Register appears to be that he has
firmly opposed their boodling
schemes. That is grave offence
in their eyes. It seems that the
city owns large number of val
liable city lots which some of the
old timers, Of piratical tendencies,
thought they could make handy in
their business. Under pretext Of
giving the lets to the 500 r. r.
Ia proceeding in open defiance of
the state constitution they got up
a scheme by which they had the.
lots ''sold" toone Of their number,
for one dollar apiece. This oblig-
ing gentlemen was 9to dispose Of,
these lots as a ''trustee' OF the
combine. and the proceeds could
then be placed where they would
do the most good. This patriotic.
scheme mayor Register very
properly vetoed. and the fight was
opened on, him with fury by the
disappointed "financiers." 1 Pur-
suing their purpose Of yet getting

that the 500 road has ffoir ID long

THE LEiDER AND THE MERGER

When the merger of the North
ern Pacific and the Great North
ern roads was announced, and The
consolidation Of the stocks of the &c
two companies in the Norther!
Securities effected. The Lpatin1
was the only paper on the SLOPE
and one of the few papers on the
Missouri slope that. through It's
editorial columns, opposed the
merger. and characterized it as Il
menace to competition and not in
the interests of the people of the
state and of the Northwest.
1t was at the same time that
Merger White. governor of this
state. failed to attend the confer
lence at Helena. called by Cover
lnor Van SAINT. to discuss the mat
ter and devise ways and means to
prevent these great competing
lines of railroad from being con-
solldated. practically under one
management. The merger gov
ernor afterward. in the last cam
paign, made a defense of his ac
ton in staying away from Helena.
by explaining the benesi&nnt in
tantions of the merger
The Leader feels justly pleased
that the circuit court of the Uni
ted States has handed down Il un
animous opinion. holding the
merger of these railroads illegal,
and in restraint Of trade. The
decision holds that the merger of
the goads effectually destroys COM
petition, is in violation OF the anti
trust law, and that the Northern
Securities company cannot hold
the stock of these companies and
vote it. There is little question
among leading attorneys Of the
country tina: the Supreme court
Of the United States will uphold
the decision.
/. (1raat credit is duo to President
Roosevelt, who Instructed his at :
torneys of the attorney generals
department to proceed against the
merger. Had the president been
like the governor Of North Dakota
and refused to take any action in
matter, the people might have
been forced to accept the merger,
whether they liked it or not and
whether it was legal or not. For
trnately for the people of the
United States, their president is
man of courage and determination
who lives up to his promises to
the people. When it becomes
necessary to take action against
illegal combinations, he does not
stay at home, but goes boldly
forth and fights for the people
who elected him.
The Leader was against the
merger because it did not believe
it was wise to place the manage
ment of parallel and competing
lines Of railroads in the same
hands. However good may be the
intentions of the management at
at present, there might come a
time when this destruction of
competition could be employed to
the great injury of the people.
The rush of new settlers still
continues and every train brings
many new ones. The free home
stead land is almost taken up in
this vicinity.

The Gospel for tomorrow is taken
from John, xvi:5-14: At that time
Jesus said to his disciples: l go TO him
that sent me; and none of you asketh
me: Whittier goest thou? But because
l have spoken these things TO you. sor-
row hath filed your heart. But l tell
you the truth; ii is expedient for you
that l go; for If l go not. the Paraclete
viii not come 10 you; but if l go, / will
send him TO you. And when he is come,
he will convince the world of sin. and
of justice, and OF judgment. OF sin,
because they believed not In me, and of
Justice. because l go to the Father and
you shall see Me no longer, and OF
Judgment, because the prince of this
world is already judged. 1 have yet
many things to say to you, but you can
not bear them now. But when He the
Spirit OF truth, is come, He will teach
you all truth; for He shall not speak
of Himself; but what things soever He
shall hear. He shall speak, and the
things that are to come He shall show
you. He shall glorify me, because He
shall receive of mine. and shall show
IL to you.
