CHURCHES GROWING.

The fact that the twenty-first session
of the North Dakota conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church is to meet
in Valley City week after next will
make some comparison showing its
growth of interest to the readers. To-
day state or nation is judged by its
social and industrial progress and us
all other denominations have perhaps
made a like growth, the following will
show that the churches have played Il
large part in placing North Dakota
where she is today, the queen state If
the northwest. In 1885, the member
ship was 2,23S as compared to 1857
in last years report. Church property
in 1884. II churches and six parson-
ages, were valued at $63.2OO. Last
year the 145 churches and 50 parson-
ages were worth $52s,SOO. Methodist
Sunday schools in 1884 attracted 1880
scholars in 81 schools and last year
11,493 scholars were instructed in 1873
schools. The North Dakota mission
was made a conference in 1885. There
are now three districts known as Far
go, Grand Forks and Minot districts.
In 1884 the preachers including Pre-
siding Elder and Bishop were paid
salaries amounting to $4,000. Last
year the pastors alone were paid
$S2,2S6. For the IL churches in 1884
there were 81 preachers but last year
the churches exceeded the number OF
pastors. 145 churches to 1877 preach

ceived 1892. an average contribution
of % cents. Last year $5,931 was con-
tributed for this purpose with per

RAILROADS FILE COAL SCHEDULE

The Great Northern and 500 roads
have filed new tariff sheets with the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission to meet the reduction in coal
rates which the Great Northern an
nounced few days ago.
With the 500 road, the reductions
are on the average 5 to 10 cents
ton, the greater reduction being made
on soft coal. With the 500. two of
the largest cuts are at Glenwood and
Henning. At Glenwood the old rate
on coal from the head of the lakes
was $1.90 a ton. The new rate is
$3.50 on hard and $1.65 on soft coal.
At Henning the old rate was $3.50
a ton. The new rate is $1.S5 on hard
coal and $1.75 on soft.
How Rate Applies.
Reductions in coal rates shown by
the Great Northern's new tariff run
from 10 to AZ cents a ton. Changes
in important stations are shown as

The case now under review is more

UNCLE SANS COAT.

The admirable Rooseveltian quail
ties came out strong in that one-hun-
dred dollar contribution to find out
whether or not Uncle Sans naval
coat has any rights that the villagers
of Newport. R. l.. are bound to re-
spect. says the Hartford Courant. 1t
is odd that the man who is president
of the United States has to lead in
this matter. Rear Admiral Thomas
has assumed part of the cost of
bringing this question to the test of
judicial decision. The question is
one that concerns all OF us. The coat
worn in the navy, no matter whether
1t is that worn by an officer or by an
enlisted man., represents all of us.
The navy coat and the army coat are
the only real. non-partisan, unques-
toned American coats in existence.
They are like the American flag and
they alone of all the varieties of
clothes worn by mankind stand in the
same class with the American flag.
! One would think, therefore, when a
question was raised, not OF natural
! and inevitable respect for Uncle Sans
naval coat, but of contemplate and
insulting discrimination against that
coat, that thousands OF Americans
would hasten to chip in TO rectify this
monstrous perversion of all right
Judgment and right feeling, But, no;
nobody chips in, 80 far as we know,
except the president; and he chips in,
not as the president, but as plain

lines: where railroad men are con-

LOCAL HEARSTISM.

1t must give the local democracy
sensation similar to that of an un-
pected ice bath to be compelled to
again adjust their allegiance so that
it will not get cross-wired with the
nomination OF Hearst in New York.
a few days ago that individual and
his political heresies were read out
OF the party by the democrats of this
state, and they were inclined to be-
lieve he was one of the unpleasant
memories of the party's history. But
who can foresee the next move OF the
democratic party or say how long it
will remain true to any love? 1t is
indeed tickle jade.
The nomination of Hearst means
more from the democratic point of
view than the governorship of New
York. The wave of over-wrought
enthusiasm which greeted Mr.. Bryan
on his return from Europe and led
the democracy of number of states
including North Dakota, to make early
rushes for the band wagon and to
get first choice of the seats at the pie
counter, is rapidly becoming a mere
vapor, and the slogan of the New York
speech having failed to arouse the
clans, the party is looking for some
one to bring forth from the pillar OF
fire.
1t is conceded by every observer
that William Randolph Hearst is the
logical candidate of the democratic
party for the presidency. Whether
logic is worth anything in determin-
ing democratic possibilities remains
to be seen. Nevertheless the party is
committed to Hearst and Hearstism
as firmly as it was committed to free
trade in the first administration of
Cleveland.
An analysis OF Hearst and his plat
form which is largely his own politi-
cal policies, is impossible because. he
stands for anything which will catch
the popular craze and win for the mo-
ment the popular applause. But one
thing is certain. He is the rankest
demagog and the nearest an anarchist
of any man in the nation today. He
is shallow, insincere and vain. His
political sophistries are as impracti-
cal as their author.
Yet Hearst is the man whom the
democracy of North Dakota is asking
the republican party to assist them
in electing two years hence. For while
it admits that it only hopes to elect
a part of the ticket in this state this
fall. that from this vantage ground it
will be in much better position to
accomplish the purpose desired in the
next campaign. That it will not be
able to defeat a single man on the re-
publican ticket is as certain as the
coming of election day. But the de-
sign which the party has upon the re-
publican voters of the state is just as
dangerous as though there was pos
sibility of electing the entire ticket.
Western republicans who have been

INSURANCE COST.

4 recent issue OF the Pink Paper
contained statement concerning GER
tain insurance companies doing bust
ness in this state for the purpose of
showing that the companies were en-
acting much larger amount of money
from the public in the form of pre-
miums than was necessary to meet
the losses of these same companies
in the same territory from which the
premiums were collected. The state
ment has been re-published in a num-
Der of papers and deserves some ex-
PLANTATION.
So far as the insurance companies
themselves are concerned it is
difficult question to determine jus,
what they should have in the way of
premiums. 1t is only right that they
should make profit. and the fact
that the question whether they will
have large one or heavy loss
would according to the rules Of good
business. entitle. them to a fairly large
margin. 1t is certain that if any COM
pany doing business in judicial dis
trict. which is the territory covered
by the figures used by the Pink
Paper. was to lose all the risks
carried by it in that territory, it would
have to pay out many times more
than the amount of its premiums
But the great error made by the
Pink Paper was in the use of the gross
premiums as the income of the COM
panies instead of the net income after
deducting from the premiums the cost
of operation For, as matter of fact.
the profit in no business can be based
upon the gross amount of the income
of the concern. When these items are
taken from the total premiums it will
show a much less rate of profit than
that which was indicated by the fig
ures given.
1t is not necessary for anyone to
fancy that insurance companies are
not receiving from the premiums paid
in and the income on the surplus
which they carry. and which is the
accumulation of unused premiums in
the past, sufficient amount to meet
its losses under ordinary circum-
stances. That is the principle, rough
ly stated, upon which they are found
ed, and the man who takes a policy
in any one of them may be assured
that he is paying his share of this
money.
How else could it be that when a
fire destroys property valued at a
thousand dollars on which the annual
premium is ten dollars, that the in
sured can get the value of the prop
erty destroyed? Simply because nine
ty-nine other men carrying like poll
cies have each contributed simil-
ar amount to reimburse the loss. The
losses in the San Francisco disaster
could never have been paid had it not
been for the premiums paid by polio,
holders in other portions of the coun-
try.
The danger from the dissemination
of such ideas as those deduciable
form the article mentioned is not the
injury it will do the insurance COM
panies for they can stand that, but
the impression which it will create
among the men of small means who
probably have the savings of life
time in property which If destroyed
by fire would leave them ruined. They
unfortunately are the ones who ac-
cept such statements at their fac.
value and not the business men who
carry insurance as a matter of bust
ness. ... -...-.. ...-.....

that no comedy OF today is more faith

in which the atmosphere of college
