night riders, wearing black masks and
white scarfs, invaded this city yester-

they stripped their prisoners and

the anti-option bill, making a strenu-
products, and strongly antagonizing
the use of Pinkerton armed men, or
any force from outside the state, in
the enforcement of state laws. He
also was vigorous in his efforts to re-
strain the liquor traffic in the District
of Columbia, standing at all times in
favor Of the legislation favored by the
prohibitionists of his state. Seven of
the bills introduced by him passed the
senate. Among these bills we're those
relating to the extension of the free
delivery system; regulating public
land contests; granting a site for the
feeble minded institution at Grafton;
for additional terms of United States
court; for bridges across the Red riv-
er at Quincy and Drayton; for the ad-
justment of salaries of fourth-class
postmasters.
In the 53rd congress he retired from
the committee on. education and labor,
but retained membership on the others
and also became a member of the CON-
mittee on agriculture and on irriga-
ton. This was the congress that was
democratic and the record discloses
much less activity on the part of re-
publican senators generally, the DEM
ocrats being in the saddle. However,
he introduced in that congress sixteen
bills, four of which passed the senate
and his remarks appear on 48 pages
of the Record. The Russian thistle,
then a menace to North Dakota agri-
cultural interests, and the tariff were
the principal subjects discussed.
In the 54th congress he became
member Of the committee on public
lands, chairman of the committee on
library, and a member Of the commit
tee on printing, retaining his other
committee assignments excepting Gen.
sus From all these committees he
reported 81 bills. He introduced 3S
bills and g amendments to appropria-
ton bills.

Position of Usefulness.

In the 55th congress he became
chairman OF the committee on public
lands, the position which he now holds
to the great advantage of the public
land states. He'was moved up to Sec
ond place on agriculture, which makes
him a member of all conference COM
mittees on bills from that committee,
and it was through being a conferee
on the agricultural appropriation bill
that he was enabled two years ago to
insert and hold in the bill a provision
providing for federal grain inspection,
which provision is the basis upon
which broad and comprehensive
system of grain inspection is sure to
come. 1t was in this congress that he
introduced and secured the passage of
bill establishing a military post at
Bismarck, for which the government
has already expended over half a mil
lion dollars; also the bill extending to
the veterans of the war with Spain the
homestead rights enjoyed by the vet
Grams of the civil war. He also intro
duced bill relating to dependent pen
sioners, which bill became law in a
subsequent congress; also pure food
bill and a bill granting 10000 acres
Of land for school of forestry at Bot
tineau. He has secured the passage
of the latter bill several times in the
senate, but it has regularly failed of
consideration in the house. Also bill
making receivers of public moneys re-
sponsible for Indian funds paid over
to them for the sale of Indian lands.
His remarks appear on As pages of the
Record and he reported and had
charge Of SO bills from the committees
of which he was a member He was
very active during the congress in
behalf of measures restricting the
sale of Intoxicating liquors.
Important Committees.
In the seth congress, after ten years
of effort, he succeeded in becoming
member of the great committee on
finance. He is now fifth on that COM
mittee, the senators who precede him
being Senator Aldrich, Allison, Bur-
rows and Plat. There are but two
republican members of this commit
tee from the vast territory west Of the
Mississippi river-Senator Allison and
Senator Hansbrough. The Importance
of his membership on this committee
cannot be estimated at this time ina
view of the early consideration of
financial and tariff legislation. NJ. n.
Johnson held a position on a similar
committee in the house when he was
a member thereof, but relinquished
the advantage it brought to the state.
when he conclude to run for the sem
ate. From his several committees Id

ported and took charge of 80 bills.
