and present at all times a stable and absolutely secure medium of legisla- tion and we urge upon Congress prompt action to this end.
 We heartily endorse the growing sentiment in favor of bestowing higher educational advantages upon the negro and giving wider opportunities to those who seek to improve the conditions and to win the recognition their talents deserve. The Republican party has ever been the friend of the oppressed and cannot forget the unswervins fidelity of the colored race.
 We believe in the upbuilding or the American navy; the speedy compile tion of the Panama canal; the develop ment of the American merchant marine; the improvement of the inland water ways; the re-enactmept of popular government in the Philippine Islands
 We commend the worldwide move ment in favor of the settlement of all International differences and also of all disputes between labor and capital by the peaceful and satisfactory methods of arbitration.
 We endorse the administration oi Governor Charles F. Hughes as chlei executive. he has set an example of official courage and fidelity.
 Under his administration the bust ness OI tue otdtc uda pNCH Sp NFdhS' acted as to merit and receive general commendation. It has been carried or economically and prudently.

The government of Holland has In
vited this government to partake in
congress to. arrange uniform coda
of salvage and wrecking regulations.
The other countries to take part in
this conference are Germany, Nor
way and Denmark.
Queen Victoria has recently been
made honorary commander of a regi-
ment Of infantry in the German army
by Emperor William. In acknowl-
edgement of the honor the queen has
written the regiment complimentary
letter of greeting which aroused
good deal of enthusiasm among the
members of the Fusiliers.
A movement is on foot under the
direction of w. r. Lundgren to estab-
lish direct steamship line between
Sweden and America. The organizer
disclaims any connection with the
company recently organized here to
establish line between this country
and South Africa. The plans of the
new organization have been laid be-
fore the government for official en-
dorsement and sanction.
The visit of the emperor and en-
press of Germany to this country I'm
August was the occasion of some very
enjoyable festivities. The couple
were entertained at the royal palace,
and several functions were given in
their honor during their stay in the
capital. The return journey was
made in the imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lern, the shore batteries firing part
ing salute as the vessel steamed out
of the harbor.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
that after acting as Swedish envoy to
Denmark for some months, Herman
De Lagercrantz accompanied by his
wife and daughters, left here yester-
day to resume his post as minister to
the United States. He will all from
Bremen on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse Sept. 8.
The departure of Minister De La,
gercrantz from the United States on
a six months leave of absence last
October gave rise to considerable
comment in diplomatic circles in
Washington. 1t was even rumored
that the Swedish minister had become
persona non grata. but denial was at
once given to this at the White House.
In an interview at Copenhagen the
latter part of June the Swedish min.
lister said: my relations with the
Washington administration now ara
and always have been most pleasant.
Taking advantage of the lull which
occurs in Washington during the sum-
mer months, my government saw fit
to order me to take charge of the

Railway Has to Put on More Trains
to Meet Shippers Needs.
Business on the Great Northern Da
kota division has increased to a re.
markable extent within the last ten
days. Theheavy grain movement is
largely responsible for this gratifying
state of affairs Eleven new crews
have been put to work; all of the old
men are employed and some new
ones have been given work. i.
On other divisions Of the road there
has been a corresponding increase in
the forces. On some of the branch
lines the elevators are filled and farm.
ers still are rushing in their grain.
The elevators at Barton are filed,
and between forty and fifty wagon
loads Of grain are waiting in line.
There, is great crop Of wheat and
other grain on the Bottineau line, and
the farmers will be more prosperous
than ever before.
The trahic is much heavier than last
year at this time. There has been
no delay from rain.

That Freight Rates From ct. Paul 10
Minot, NJ. g., Are Too Hiah. Il
The attention Of the interstate com
merce commission will probably be
called to what appears to be an ex.
orbitant freight rate between st. Paul
and Minot. A shipment of station.
cry weighing thirty pounds cost $1.1O.
which is pretty close to the mail rate.
It came by ordinary freight. A pro.
test was filed, and on investigation It
was found that the railroad had BY
resolution fixed the rate at $1.1O for
100 pounds or less. This rate il
framed With the evident intention of
driving the small packages to the ex.
press companies to the great profit
Of the express companies and loss to
the people.
There is another feature to the case.
The local rate from st. Paul to Grand
Forks is 81 cents per 100 pounds OF
less and the local rate to Minot from
Grand Forks is Is cents per 100 with
minimum charge Of Is cents. From
this 1t will be seen that small pack.
age can be shipped to Grand Forks
and reshipped to Minot for less than 1t
would take to send it direct to Minot.
The SEQ has not yet taken any sat.
isfactory action On the protest against
the alleged injustice, and it is not at
all unlikely that the case will be
brought to the attention of the inter.
state commerce commission.

Old Law. ~
Some time ago. Secretary BlaisdelL
notified all Of the railroad companies
operating In the state that the law re.
quiring ticket agents to have license
would be enforced and that the rail-
roads would be compelled to comply
with the provisions Of this law, which
has been on the statute books of the
state for twelve years.
1t was law the railroads had been
instrumental in having passed by the
legislature for the rake Of keeping
scalpers from operating here. After
the law had been enacted the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern COM
piled with the law and saw to 1t that
nearly all of their agents were sup
piled with the required license issued
by the secretary of state, but the 500
had never complied with the law, and
when notified by Secretary Blaisdell
replied that they had never been no
titled that it was required that they
should have license for their ticket
s~oSAASo GIL 0AOAA huOW SuCu b law
was in force, but that they would,
however, comply promptly, and forth
with made application for license for
every ageEt of. their road in the state.
The Milwaukee road until this year
never operated in North Dakota very
extensively, but. since their line
through the new counties in the west
ern part of the state has been con-
structed several new stations have
been established. Both the 500 and
Milwaukee have now complied with
the request Of the secretary of state,
and as result nearly 5000 has been
added to the treasury of the state
through this one notice to the COM
panies, and from law that had to
some extent been allowed to remain
