New Political Issue

The action of Governor Wilson in
appointing a commission for the pur-
pose of drafting revenue bill to be
presented to the Legislature has
brought about an issue which has divid-
ed the Republican official family and
wiped out much-Of the disaffection in
the Democratic party of the State.
Former Governro Beckham and his
friends nave come out squarely against
the enactment of new revenue law,
and declare that the efforts behind the
present movement emanate from the
source which fatheredt he constitution
al amendment looking to the adoption
of license system in cities instead of
an ad valOrem system, and gave rise to
the adoption of municipal ordinance
in the city of Louisville, which was
declared unconstitutional.
The breach in Governor Wilson S
official family is in the opposition of
State Auditor Frank E. James, who
has to deaf with the States revenues.
State Treasurer Edward Farley is re-
ported in sympathy with James posi-
ton.
Thus the Governor finds two of the
members of his Cabinet, who have been
dealing with the operation of the reve-
nue. laws of the State. opposed to the
movemet, which is the most vital that
he has undertaken in his administration.

OLD RELlcS-CHAS. n. LAIZuRE
HAS HARPERs WEEKLY OF 1862
WHICH Is FULL OF INTEREST
TELLS OF CIVIL WAR.

The coming elections have been
calling up past elections in the city of
Fargo. Chas. Fl. Laizure produced an
old Fourth ward ticket of the elections
of 1881 which is now quite a relic and
which he found stored away with sew
eral other interesting documents,
among them being a Harper's Weekly
of Feb. %, 1862.
The old ticket referred to bore the
names of the following candidates:
For mayor, F. B. Eddy; city clerk
Adam Rupert; city treasurer, c. j.
Jensen: justice of peace, Augustus
Roberts; aldermen, S. G. Roberts and
A. j. Harwood.
The old Harper's Weekly is devoted
almost exclusively to topics of the
civil war and is profusely illustrated by
old wood cuts. Particular. attention
is paid, to the Mason and Slidell affair
and there are many cartoons repre-
senting England or John Bull in the
stand that country took in the affair.
Both are most interesting relics and
are being preserved by Mr.. Laizure.

PROSECUTIONS
FAIL TO STICK
CRUSADE AGAINST ALLEGED
VIoLAToRs OF PROHIBITION
LAW AT TOWER CITY PROVES
TEMPEST IN TEAPoT-ELDER-
BUSH AND DALTON FREED.

Judging by developments of the
past twenty-four hours the bottom ap-
parently has fallen out of the crusade
begun against alleged offeders of the
prohibition law at Tower City. The
prosecution yesterday afternoon failed
to make its charge stick against Lewis
Elderbush. the Tower City hotel pro-
prietor. while this morning. on mo-
ton of States Attorney Fowler, Will
lam Dalton, a dray driver from the
same town. was discharged by Judge
H. F. Miller. When the preliminary
hearing of Charles Cleveland. the N.
P. telegraph operator, arrested last
Monday in company with Elderbush,
began at 2 o'clock this afternoon
before Judge Miller the states chances
of having Cleveland held to the county
court did not look very bright.
Elderbush's hearing took place yes
terday afternoon and consumed several
hours. A number of witnesses were
examined. but their testimony, Judge
Miller believed. was not strong enough
to warrant holding the proprietor to
the county court and he was dis
charged 1t was because several wit
nesses told States Attorney Fowler
many naughty things about Dalton
and when the time came to go on the
witness stand and submit their testi-
mony under oath. backed down. that
the case against the dray driver. on
motion of the states attorney, was
dismissed. Dalton is the man who was
subpoenaed under the prohibition law

tions at Tower City and, after his
deposition was taken, was placed
under arrest.

careful wedding out of what has been

accomplished with little or no inter-

And accidents fill the world with

Around the world thoughts shall

In the twinkling Of an eye. I,
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange shall yet be true. !.
The world upside down shall be.
| And gold found at the root Of a
tree.
| Through hills man shall ride
| And no horse or ass be at his SIDE
| Under the water men shall walk;
Snail ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
| In the air men shall be seen.
In white, In black and green.
] Iron in the water shall float
