FARGO COLLEGE PRExY.
Presbyterian Divine May Re Select.
ed for the Position.

According to the Fargo Forum DR..
Foulkes. pastor of the First Presby
terrain church of Clinton Ia. will in
all probability be the next president
of Fargo college. The matter has not
been definitely settled as yet. but DR..
Foulkes visited Fargo some weeks ago
and was very favorably impressed
with the field. The college board Of
directors were also favorably impress
ed with DR.. Foulkes and the majority
of the board were DESTROYS of having
him take the position.
No doubts have been expressed re-
garding his qualifications for the po-
sition, but there has been some hest
tation on the part of some of the
members of the board about calling Il
Presbyterian divine to the head of a
Congregational institution. These OBJ
jections have been in great part over
ruled. however, and it now seems GER
tain that Dr. Foulkes will be asked
to come. 1t is thought that he will
accept.

Johannesburg. Aug. 6.-The pro-
posals of the British government for
the establishment of a constitutional
government in the Transvaal. as an
nounced in the house of commons yes
terday, were received here with feel
ing of relief, and were welcomed as
being reasonably democratic. 1t is
anticipated that all the parties will
accept the constitution and loyalty try
to make the best of it. The margin be-
tween Britons and Beers is so narrow
that it is impossible to forecast who
will obtain the majority in the first
legislature.

suit that DeCamp's body was discover

FALSE WEIGHTS.

J
 If Is not at all a creditahle story that l comes from New York regarding false weights in that city. In Proverbs we read: "A false balance is abomination to the Lord, but just weight Is ms delight" If the official investigations and reports are correct. New York must be a city of abominations. for a report just given out says that l,2S7 false scales were found during the year just passed. and no one can suppose that all of these swindliug concerns were discovered. Plainly, it would be dificult, if not actually impossible. for the oficials to ferret out every in- stance where the weights are not cor rect There are so many methods or swindling in weighing that it would be out of the question in a great city like New York for an inspector to io- cate every place where the weighing apparatus is not accurate.
 It is one of the most insiduous and sneaking ways of swindling known, be- cause it is done in a small way. customer who purchases one dollars worth of sugar, let us say, would not ordinarily know that anything was wrong if the package weighed nine l teen instead of twenty pounds. Few | housekeepers are provided with accu-
 rate scales and still fewer go to the trouble of weighing every package de- l livered to them by the grocer or | butcher.
 | @t rI hundreds of times a day means very nice profit to the dishonest salesman. It means a matter of five per cent day added to
 his legitimate profits, and that IS no l small matter, as any one must see. lhe l dishonest dealer not only makes good thing for himself on what he has l swindied his customers out of, but he
 builds up a reputation for selling goods l cheaper than others de. thus getting
 double advantage for himself.
 How to break up this nefarious prac-
 tice in New York is the problem. The
 Mail considers 1t ''the duty of the citi'
 gems to test their purchases. and of tho
 bueau of weights and measures to fol
 low up rfgidly every discoverable cast of falsification of weights. Betwee'
 the two, it is perfectly practicable tt weed out this detestable form of swim
 ding, and restore the good American
 practice of honest dealing"
 The advice of The Mail, if rigidl! followed, would do much to abate tn
 evil. no doubt, but getting people t follow it and test all their purchases a different thing. As we have said' fe' U citizens have the appliances or woul take trouble to test all their purchases so this is not practical remedy 10 the evil. If the bureau of weights an measures will set themselves to ferre r out all criminals of this class an f make examples of them, it would g - far to break up tthe practice. Ger n tainly there should be some way t stop such robbery, for the report is nc y at all credItable to the city.

THE GAELIC LEAGUE.

A quarter of century ago the Gaeilc Iea1ue was organized, with pr. Doug las Hyde as one of its founders ana | promoters. The object of the League Is not. as some critics declare. to arouse | or keep alive any sentiment Of hostility to England, or of dissatisfaction with English rule In fact, politics and re- lipion are not allowed to be discussed inc theory of the movement being, as one contemporary says, that "a restora- tion of the language will cause growth of Irish culture and love TOT Irish institutions, manners, customs and history that will preserve the race
 traditions and lead men to be proud
 that they are Irishmen Until thls
 movement was begun, 1t is declared'
 natives of Ireland were ceasing to De
 Irishmen without becoming Enghsh-
 men, and were losing the sense Of race and national identity. The people
 needed to be interested in something
 that concerned them especially and all
 ready. so it is claimed, this study ol
 their race language has proved vital |
 neonIe to their ancient literature, and has brought with it revival of native
 songs. dances, sports, distinctive GUS
 toms and even industries that were fast being forgotten ,. Really. we can see no valid reason for inc criticism of this movement, and for 3 inc opposition that has sprung up in ! ! bc IVia l in many respects remarkable people | wbo have held their individuality ant high characteristics through many cen t turies of opposition, of repression an'
 often of persecution. The island l = rich in tradition and legend, as we'll a = In history. and. their wit, their hospi t tality and the love of their own countr 1t have been celebrated in song and stor O since there have been poets and writer e to preserve the records of Ireland an y tho Irish. To revive and teach the al T. cient language is one of the objects Id tbe League. and to this there should | re no objection. It is not proposed or Il 'e tended to displace or supersede Ensils s' hut simDly to keep the Irish people III touch with the language of their ance
 tors which has almost been forgott' among them in recent years.
 Another commendable purpose of q " League is an historical one. It pr II" poses 10 rescue and preserve 10 legends and traditions of the race '| we'll as to preserve and put In endurll -'N form the real history of the island al
 it's inhabitants from the earliest pei ,ed ods In short, there is nothing of DO on tics religion or sectarianism in t He movement, but simply a desire to ke so alive in the hearts of the present a
 future generations correct knowled
 of what their country has been, a zen what Irshmen have accomplished 'a- the past just as historical societies a Tho associations in this and other countr
 are doing. That some of tho Engl r,, peonle object to the movement of profess to see danger in it. is psrh
