BLUFFED BY BEN BUTLER.
Made General Bingham Believe He
Had Booths Diary.

Made General Bingham Believe He
Had Booths Diary.
General John A. Bingham was a
member Of the military tribunal that
tried Mrs. Surratt and the Lincoln as
sassination conspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent de-
bates in the house General B. F. But
Ter frequently charged that the COM
mission had arrived at an unjust YER
dict and had convicted an innocent
woman. In q memorable debate he
boldly proclaimed that if the contents
Of diary which had been found on
the dead body Of ]. Wilkes Booth were
ever made public it would disclose the
fact that it. contained the proof of
Mrs. Surratt's innocence, which proof
had been UNANIMOUSLY suppressed by the
commission. When General Bingham
made movement as though u would
repel such an accusation, Butler dra-
matically drew memorandum book
from his breast pocket and held it
aloft, but did not utter a word. Bing-
ham naturally supposed that Butler
had copy of diary such as he had
spoken of. As a matter of fact the
book contained nothing but blank
leaves General Butler was Just bluff
ing.
The diary was in possession of Sec
rotary Stanton, but President johnson
finally demanded it. 1t was an inter-
esting book, but it threw no light upon
the great conspiracy. Johnson's pri-
vate secretary was W. W. Warden,
who was the correspondent Of the Bal
timore Sun, and besides was in the en-
ploy Of the New York Tribune bureau
to supply it with all the information
he consistently could. To him Andrew
johnson intimated that he would not
be averse to the publication of Booths
diary and permitted him to make a
copy Of it.
Warden took it after midnight to
James Rankin Young, the Washington,
correspondent Of the Tribune, and the
next morning the Tribune and the Bal
ttmore Sun had a big beat. Sam
Bowles of the Springfield Republican
reproached his correspondent for fall
ing to get copy.
well, \" said the correspondent, II am
not like Jim Young. I have a home to
90 to, and don't have to prowl around
till daylight" Nobody enjoyed this re-
tort as much as James Rankin Young.

The rapid development of the state,
the increased demand of the various
departments and the increase in the
size and number of public documents
and reports has added materially to
She demands on the public printing
Gund, which the last legislature failed,
through mere oversight, to increase.
Ghis will leave, for the time being,
shortage in that fund. Inasmuch as
be Bismarck Tribune's contract cov-
0rs the bulk of the public printing,
something like IS per cent in the way
IF reports, documents, book and other
heavy work, it will be more affected
by the shortage than any other insti-
tuition. 1t may not be out of place
to say in this connection, at least for
local consumption, that the Bismarck
Tribune's weekly pay roll constantly
approximates $500 a week. A daily
newspaper has been maintained since
1881, at loss, on the newspaper side.
of over $4,000 a year since 1850
loss that has been borne by drafts
upon it's job rooms, which draw upon
all parts of the state and from the
various western counties for support.
a newspaper, book-binding and job
plant has been built up, second to
none in the state. That the Tribune's
prices for all kinds of printing have
been reasonable and the work first
class is evidenced by it's vouchers,
the work itself and the verdict of its
0atrons. As the field enlarges and
the western part of the state develops
che Tribune will endeavor to keep
pace Herewith and merit as well as
enjoy the support, confidence and re.
spect of its patrons.

The prospectus of the new evening
paper to be established at Grand
Forks, the Times, is out. Manager
Small and Editor Lampman unite in
declaring that the Times will be an
impartial, live. progressive, up-to-date
newspaper and the plant will be
equipped with all material necessary
in a first-class shop. Mr.. Small is
now manager of the Devils Lake Inter
Ocean and one of the best business
managers i'm the state. Years ago
he was one Of the Bismarck Tribune,s
staff, faithful and efficient, and since
that date IT is safe to assume that ex-
perience has developed all the latent
energy and skill in his makeup. The
first issue of the Times will appear
about the first Of the year.

A WOMAN'S WIT.
1T Served Her Well When the Stage
coach Holdup Came.

1T Served Her We'll When the STAGE
coach Holdup Came.
A good illustration Of the quick wit
OF woman appears in the following
incident of the old coaching days of the
far west. The man Of the tale does not
show off fn the best Of lights and did
not deserve his reward. The coach
was on its way over lonely road and
carried among it's passengers a lady
going to join her husband and a man
travelling by himself.
II have $1,000 in my pocketbook,"
confided the lone traveller to the lady,
land 1 feel very uneasy Would you
mind concealing it in your dress? If
we are held up they are less likely to
search you"
The lady consented and hid the roll
of bills. Toward evening the shout Of
Throw up your hands!' brought the
coach to a standshll, and four men,
masked and on horseback, demanded
at the point of the pistol that all money
should be Immediately given up. The
lone traveller passed over all his re-
naming cash, consisting of a few dol
lars, and was congratulating himself
on his escape when, to his horror, he
heard the lady say:
81 have thousand dollars here, but
l suppose I must give it up" And
without further hesitation she handed
over the precious pile of greenbacks.
The robbers rode off In high good hu-
NOR, but as soon as they were gone the
traveller let loose his wrath. He abused
the lady il no measured terms and
hardly stopped short of calling her a
coward. The accused said little, but
when the end Of the journey was reach
ed she invited the angry man to her
house.
II shall have to accept" he said sui
k1ly. II haven't cent in the world
through your stupidity" .. =
As he was dressing for dinner that
night his host came to his room.
Here is the thousand dollars" he
said, (which my wife ventured to Dor
row. You see, she had $4,000 hid in
her gown, and she thought If she gave
up your thousand it would save further
search. Thank you for the loan, which
saved me a heavy loss"

The Importance of having copies of
the report on Colonial Administration
in the Far East by Alleyne Ireland, F.
r.. G. S., accessible to readers, stud
ents and writer's throughout our coun-
try is plainly evident. In a country
like ours, where the will of the peo-
pie governs, the people must first
know what they will, and not let them
selves be led by leaders who are bent
upon forming policies of their own
irrespective of what has been or what
of the United States upon it's active
career as a world power, the Ameri-
can people are going to be called up
on to instruct their officials in regard
to foreign policies, or to accept or
reject the policies that political lead
ers may outline for themselves. Our
libraries already supply us with much
literature regarding Europe, and such
a work as Mr.. Ireland's will give us
topics of the day connected with the
Eastern tropics and especially the
Philippines, and the new questions
which will arise in connection with
the development of Japan into first
class power. Much of the information
given in the Ireland report has never
been before published, and the reader
would have to search hundreds of
special volumes-most of which are
not accessible in this country-to find
out about the other matters treated
in this report. The minister, the news
paper man, the magazine or book
writer, the politician and all other
moulders of public opinion need to
have this report accessible, and it is
hoped that our libraries will not fail
to provide them for public reference.

The coming of snow quickly brings
public spirit and civic pride to the
front. The possessor of these quail
ties promptly clears his sidewalks,
while those shy of these happy adj
juncts to his makeup trusts to the

full walks in certain places in the city
are not good advertisement for the
people living behind them. Be it said
to the credit of the citizens generally,
however, these snow banks are few

A Proper Distinction.

A Proper Distinction.
Here is story Of John Fiske which
illustrates his frankness: y,
It seems that one day his wife had
to report to him that their son had
been guilty of calling Mrs. Jones, Q
neighbor, a fool and Mr.. Jones a much
worse fool.
Professor Fiske sent for the young
ster and when he appeared in the H.
brary said to him sternly, my son, Is
it true that you said Mrs. Jones was a
foolw
Hanging his head, the boy replied,
Eyes, father, did"
"And did you call Mr.. Jones worse
foolT
Eyes, father"
After a moments reflection the ia
nous historian said slowly, "Well, my
son, that is just about the distinction
should make."-Boston Record.
