North Dakota Solves the AduIteratlon
Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz; pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan.
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture Of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In ali other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave US free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect US from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want

Deadly New Rife.

Bullets from the new S0-cahDer

velocity of the bullet is 1890 feet

not strip in the rifing. The circum-

False Alarm.

From the valley there came cloud
of dust and a distant rumble. The
man of the stone age rushed up the
mountain and perched himself on the
highest peak.

And the man went back to his
peaceful occupation of hewing an
apartment house out of a solid cliff.

teacher took in the situation at a
glance. He made the children lie fat
on the ground outside furthest from the
fire, and covered them with blankets,
which he kept moist with palifuls of
water, obtained by rushing through the
burning grass up to his elbows. He
said it was like passing through a fiery
furnace
Once he put the pail down for a few
seconds, and on taking it up again the
handle burned the skin off his hand.
But the courageous man recovered, as
did his boys, The children acted SPLEEN
didly As the flames reached where
they were lying they ran into hollow
logs further on, which were covered
with wet blankets. Thus they passed
the fateful afternoon and night. Ulti-
mately every child was saved.
The next day there was sad funeral
in the vicinity, Nine men had become
surrounded by the flames and all per-
ished. Everywhere farmers and selec-
tors rose to the occasion, rlsking their
lives over and over again in attempts
to rescue the weak and helpless. The
emergency brought out the best quail
ties of the solicitors, whose heroic en-
beavers tended to relieve the over
Whelming disaster of several of its
gloomiest features, and show the
brighter aspect of human nature.

RICHEST STREET
In the World Is Fifth Avenue, With
 Miles of Palaces.
From Tit Bits.

From Tit Bits.
 Judged by the standard of wealth, there is no street in the whole world which can compare for a moment with Fifth avenue New York, which along its length of five miles Is dotted with the sumptuous palaces of men every one of whom re- quires seven figures at least to state the amount of his wealth, while several of them would count themselves poor if there revenues were cut down to G1000 day. Along this wonderful avenue these millionaires' mansions rise at intervals. farther in both directions than the eye can reach. each trying to outstrip the rest in the magnificence of its exterior and the prodgal extravaganza of its in- ternal equipment.
 With such embarrassing choice of palaces-placed side by side they would reach a good mile-one scarcely knows which to select for special observation. One of the costliest of them all is the colossal pile. much more resembling d public building than a private house, which stands at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street. the res idence of the head of the millionaire family of Vanderbilts

men of small means to accept high ap- pointments. MT. Longworth is a million aire but he evidently does not believe that conditions which operate to put the higher diplomatic posts out of reach of men of small means and great abilities are either right or profitable for the country or republican or American.
 Whatever objection may be raised to the specific proposal of the bill, the reason prompting it is sound. In casting about for nominees to ambassadorships the President should not be obliged to con slider whether the man he thinks best qualified for the posts can financially af- ford to accept them. This is not a cheap country, and the provision for it's repre- sentation abroad should not be on a cheap scale

ANARCHY OVER FARES.

The scenes en- the road TO COney Island yes
terday were another illustration of the bad
habit of resorting to disorder to establish legal
rights which The Tribune criticised the other
day when it was manifested in the trouble over
the piers at Oyster Bay. II ought to be pos
sible to determine in some peaceful fashion
once for all the rights of the public and the
rights of the railroads with relation to Coney
Island fares, and to avoid the repetition. summer
after summer, of the dsgraceful struggles,
amounting sometimes TO riots, over this ques-
ton.
If the railroad has legal authority to charge
10 cents on one route or all routes the fact
should he demonstrated before the highest
court. and made so plain that no inferior tri-
bunal would interfere with the exercise of the
right. and no citizen would he encouraged to dis
pute it. On the other hand. wherever the courts
have decided that the legal fare is only five
cents it should he impossible for the railroad to
charge more. Then the police should not only
refuse to arrest passengers declining to pay
more than the legal fare and refusing to leave
a car but they should treat as disOrderly per-
sons agents of the company who interfered with

by suffering election and bringing suit for
damages If we have not in this state a COM
petent administrative authority TO prevent such
disgraceful struggles as have repeatedly Oc
CURED on the COney Island lines. it is time for
us to establish one.
Justice Gaynor may be right or wrong in his
ruling. That is not the point. though it is to be
noted that other judges have repeatedly given
similar decisions. and more than two years ago
the Appellate Division handed down decision
which popularity interpreted as a warrant
for the five cent fare. The railroad. however,
declared that the decision did not apply. and
continued to collect 10 cents. frequently with
violence Right or wrong, however. either the
decision should be obeyed. or the court in giving
it should make clear that it is not n warrant
for refusal to pay the fare demanded. 1t is
intolerable that the people. on the one hand. and
the corporation. the other, should be left to
squabble over a legal question. and have daily
riots to determine the charge for public service.
1t is time for somebody in authority. the city
government, the Railroad Commission, or the
courts 10 say what the fare shall be- and en-
force obedience of the order pending a final
decision by the Court of Appeals of the legal
point involved if indeed. the point has not
