INCREASED COST OF LIVING.
increased eost Of living. the can,

Increased cost of living, the cause
and possible remedies, promises t.
receive the attention of some mem.
bers of Congress in either branch
during the present session, although
it is painfully apparent that what.
ever investigation is set under way,
if at all, will be in the interest OF
proving by juggled figures that food
stuffs and other necessities of living
are in reality cheaper than a year
ago. A committee such as Speaker
Cannon might select from his bench
men, ought to be able to FIX up re-
port that would at once alleviate
hunger, clothe the naked, and even
increase the Republican majority in
supposedly doubtful congressional
districts at next falls election.
The Republican party thrives on
statistics. In every department at
Washington are men who hold their
Jobs for no other reason than at a
crucial period they can manipulate
figures to show apparently that ey-
erything is rosy and the goose
hangs high" Even when there is a
deficit in the national treasury, these
jugglers roll up their sleeves and
proceed to allay all fears. Often
comparisons are far-fetched, and the
results are punctured by persons who
are as keen in the intricacies of math-
ematics as the Washington satellites,
but the great rank and file of the
country, particularly those who vote
the g. o. p. ticket with unceasing
regularity, accept the figures as sane
and correct, while the administration
leaders sit back and laugh at the
gullibility of the masses.
So it will be with any investiga-
ton of the increased cost of living
that may be started by the present
Republican Congress. Representa-
tive Hull, of Tennessee, seems to
have gotten the start of his Repub-
lean colleagues in urging an inquiry.
Being a simon-pure Democrat, his
concurrent resolution, introduced last
week, will likely be consigned to the
ruthless NAV of the committee on
rules waste baske.. But even if his
efforts come to naught n the way of
proper legislation, Mr.. Hull will have
the proud satisfaction of knowing
that he has put the Republican ma
jority on the defensive.
Mr.. Hull's resolution sets forth
that during the past year there has
been an advance in the prices of
commodities of from II to so per
cent. and during the past IS years of
more than Sc per cent, which is en-
tirely disproportionate to the in
crease in wages, making it difficult
for millions to procure food, clothing
and shelter consistent with their
needs. The resolution charges the
Payne tariff bill with being a large
factor in the rise of prices of necessi-
ties, through permitting the trusts
to monopolize products and raise
prices.

useful magazines that are not circu-

With respect to the parcels post,
respectfully recommend its adop-

eleven pounds-the international
limit-be made the limit of carriage
in such post, and this with a view
to its general extension when the

shall have been fully established.
The same argument is made against
the parcels post that was made
against the postal savings bank
that it is introducing the govern

to be conducted by private persons,
and is paternalism. The postoffice

Second Glass Mail Matter


IN my last annual message / in
vlted the attention Of congress to
the inadequacy of the postal rate
imposed upon second-class mail
matter insofar as that includes mag
azlnes, and shown by figures pre-
pared by experts of the postoffice
department that the government
would be rendering a service to the
magazines, costing many millions in
excess of the compensation Maid
An answer was attempted To this
ny the representatives of the maya
zines, and a reply was filed to this
answer by the postoffice department.
Inc utter inadequacy of the answer,
considered in the light of the reply
OF the postoffice department, | think
must appeal to any fair-minded per-
son. Whether the answer was all
that could be said in behalf of the
magazines is another question. I
agree that the question is one of
lact; but insist that if the fact
IS as the experts of the postoffice
department show, that we are fur
hlshing to the owners of magazines
service worth millions more than
they pay for it, then justice requires
tnat the rate should be increased
me increase in the receipts of the
department resulting from this
change may be devoted to increas4
ing the usefulness of the depart-
ment in establishing a parcels post
and in reducing the cost of first
class postage to one cent. It has
oeen said by the postmaster-general
'hat a fair adjustment might be
made under which the advertising

SUPERVISOR FOR THIS DISTRICT

CAMPAIGN IS NOW WELL UND-
Err WAY-PREPARE FOR THE
COUNT.

According to the rules of the census
department at Washington the work of
enumerating the population Of cities
of the United States should all be An
ished by midnight tonight. The law
however, provides that in cases where
1t is absolutely impossible to take the
census between April is and May the
time may be extended This has been
done by the superintendent of the CEN
sus for this district, as the work here,
while now well under way, is by no
means nearly completed.
The statement that has been made
that 1t was likely that the Grand Forks
enumerators would be called here to
assist in the work of taking the CEN
sus is all nonsense" said a prominent
member of the commercial club who is
keeping a close tab on all that per-
tains to the census work.
"We never thought of such a thing
and how such foolish story got into
any newspaper am at a loss to under
stand. We have been delayed in get
ting started, through no fault of the
city of Fargo, but we are perfectly able
to take the census here without calling
on any outside aid whatever"
The enumerators of the city have
met with some queer experiences. Yes
terday one OF them encountered a wo-
man who absolutely refused to give
any information whatever, and the
enumeration was about to call on the
United States marshal for assistance,

but as her husband will be home to-
morrow nothing will be done until he
arrives. Excuses are given time after
time for not giving the answers and
many people who have almost been
forced to tell what is asked of them
have satisfied themselves afterwards
by saying, We'll / didn't tell the truth
anyhow The enumerators cannot see
any reason why people do not care to
answer, excepting as one of them said
it be pure 'ornery cussedness." 1t is
hoped for the good of Fargo that all
who are approached, and it is hoped
that those who have not been, will send
in their names, will make free and full
answers to the questions asked.

here at 1898 this morning. The fire,

force of letter carriers of this city, of
whom Mr. Benefited is one, have been
very active in coming to his rescue
at this time. The news of the loss

by long distance phone message
last Thursday night, by Rev. r. H.
