AUTOS AND HORSE THIEVES.

The capture of a horse thief want
ed at Bismarck. down near Glendale,
the other day, proves the wisdom Of
the up-to-date sheriff when he pro-
vides al the necessary equipment for
his Office.
It used to be that the thief who
stole fast horse put spurs to him
when threatened with capture and
disappeared in cloud Of dust with
a hooking laugh. But conditions
have changed. The automobile has
entered the field Of crime, and the
upstc-date sheriff when pursuing .

in warning and drives the flying
thief into corner.
Horse flesh cannot stand against
gasoline, and an auto driver can feed
gasoline faster than horse thief can
feed oats. The result of it all is that
the horse thief is captured, the auto
mobile is triumphant and both part
les return to jail in cloud of dust
and a haze of bad smell. 1t all goes
to show that civilization is advanc-
ing and that the up-to-date thief OF
today needs to steal autos of high
horse power and leave horses of low
er horse power alone.

SOME HONESTY AFTER ALL.

Can it be that we have been misin-
formed by alarmists as to the moral
calibre of our public men? Have
they been the victims of misrepresen-
tation on the part of the demagog-
ues? We find that Senator Allison
after thirty years in the senate and
a number of years in congress, leaves
fortune" of 100000, which is less
than the savings of half his salary
at simple interest. In any other line
of business than the public service
the qualifications of Senator Allison
would have earned him a far great
er amount. -. -.
Senator Spooner left the senate be-
cause the remunerations of the pub
lie service were not sufficient to pro-
vide for himself and his family and
to enable him to lay by something
for his old age. President Cleveland
left very moderate fortune, al
though in the height of the attacks
upon him we were given TO under
stand that he was hand and glove
with the gold octopus and the great
dragon of Lombard street.
Have our public men, after all,
been fairly honest? Have they Civ
en- the public good service and theil
best years and thought and been very
poorly paid in return, both in money
and gratitude? Have the agitators
who thrive and grow fat upon the
| wrecks and regulations and who re-
vel in scandals as the vulture in car
rion sought to elevate themselves al
the expense of sincere, honest an6
capable public men, who have receiv
ed, not too. much but too little from
| the public? And is there after all
some honesty and sincerity left il
the world? FL.
| It is an alarming reflection, but i
would seem to be proven by the in
stances of some of our public men.

THE TIME TO BUILD.

GranO FOrhS times. Inc expense
of building is less now than
in several years, and from 10 to 20
per cent less than last year, accord
ing to the character of structure to
be erected and the quality of material
to be used. The greatest reduction
is in dwelling houses of moderate
cost. Contractors and lumber deal
ers say that the present is a most
favorable time to build, for they do
not believe that conditions which. pre-
yails will change for the better or
that they will continue beyond the
present seasin.
1t costs from ten to twenty per
cent less this year than last to put up
any kind of building. Lumber and
many other materials are reduced in
price and labor conditions are more
satisfactory than they have been for
several years. Labor in the trades
is no cheaper than it was last year,
for the union scales remain about the
same, but the men have been working
more steadily and accomplishing
more, and conditions in that respect
are improved. Common labor is
cheaper. for contractors are only pay
ing $1.75 a day this year for work
that cost 50 day last year. OF
course, there are men to whom
So day is paid this year, but they
are only the ones who can earn it.
Cement is about twenty per cent
cheaper this year, but stone and sand
cost about the same. Hardware is
about ten per cent cheaper and the
materials used in painting have been
reduced about ten per cent. Plaster.
ing material also costs about ten pei
cent less, and there has been a still
greater reduction in glass.
A leading lumberman of Minneap
oils is authority for the statement
that lumber prices never will be. 81
low again as now. The unique sit
uation generally has been made the
subject of investigation by the Amer
lean Lumberman, which says:
Lumber is cheaper now than i
was a year ago, although nominally
wages are the same. It is cheaper
because it is better.
Materials are cheaper than the!
were year ago, not for the same
reason that labor is cheaper, but il
the actual prices that must be paid
Last year the majority of the
dealers in building material had al
the trade they could handle. Thi!
year business has been fair, as il
shown by the building records, bu
there is room for considerable i'm.
provement.
The one great reason why build
ing operations should be undertaken
now or why contracts for supple
should be entered into is that the,
