Courage and the Flea.

Courage Is resistance to fear, mas.
terry Of fear, not absence Of fear. Ex-
cept a creature be part coward, 1t Is
not a compliment to say it is brave; it
is merely loose misapplication OF
the word. Consider the aea-incom-
parably the bravest of all the crea-
lures Of God If ignorance Of fear were
courage. Whether you are asleep OF
awake. he will attack you, caring
nothing for the fact that in bulk and
strength you are to him as are the
massed armies of the earth to q suck
ing child. He lives both day and
night and all days and nights in the
very lap Of peril and the immediate
PRESENCE Of death and yet Is no more
afraid than is the man who walks the
streets Of a city that was threatened
BY an earthquake ten centuries be-
fore. When we speak Of Give, Nelson
and Putnam as men who didn't know
what fear was" we ought always to
add the flea and put him at the head

from Canada-and that it is not
really reciprocal as to sections or
industries, and vii not be a good
thing for this country even in the
long run.
If you agree with US, interest
the people in your community,
not only the farmers, but mer-
chants in all lines, banks, insur-
ance agents, etc., in protesting to
members of congress against the
passage of the reciprocity agree
ment in the proposed form. 1t was
hastily devised, to be rushed
through the last session of con-
gress. Reciprocity is good thing
but it should be reciprocal and its
form should be worked out after
careful consideration of all that is
involved.
This bill can be defeated and
period of great business depres-
sion avoided by prompt action
with the representatives of the
people in Washington. Reach
your congressman at home before
he leaves for Washington.
Yours truly.

How Sheridan Pad a Debt:


No one knew better the power pos
sessed by a really polished compliment
than Sheridan. and on innumerable Oc-
casions during that rather stormy the
atrical management of his did he ex-
tricate himself from difficulty by
means Of one. A good instance is the
following: An English nobleman who
had married a beautiful actress once
applied with much dignity In the
greenroom to Mr.. Sheridan for the ar.
rears Of her salary and vowed that he
would not stir till they were paid.
MY dear lord" said the impecunious
manager, this is too bad. You have
taken from US the brightest jewel In
the world. and you now quarrel with
us for the little dust she has left be-
hind her."
The nobleman Immediately burst out
laughing, and the debt was Cancelled

THE 1RleuNE,s POSITION

It has come to the knowledge of the
Tribune on what We consider good
authority, that DR.. Shute of the Metho
dist church of this city has taken the
opportunity to make an attack on
the policy of the paper from the pulpit
of the church in connection with the
attempt to enforce the closing of the
theatres in the city on the Sabbath
day. The attack was probably brOt
about by the refusal of the Tribune
to print in the Saturday evening edi'
ton of the paper the subject of the
evening sermon. The subject matter
of the announcement was such that
even had the Tribune the desire to
print it it would have been impossible
without making the paper liable for
a SANDER suit. Another reason for
the refusal OF the publication is that
the Tribune does not believe that the
city of Bismarck is going to the dogs
because of the fact that there has
not been a conviction in the cases
brought against the manager Of the
theatre made defendant in the closing
cases. The conduct of both cases, it
has been stated. was such that had
they been taken to the district court
they would undoubtedly have been
thrown out and the juries. the men,
bers of which have come in for the
vilification and abuse from Dr.. Shute,
probably took this view of the matter:
AS to the statement made that the
Tribune is on the side of lawlessness,
the paper is willing to abide by the
Judgment Of the people who have fol-
lowed the policy of the owners and
editors for a good many years before
DIR. Shute. became resident of the
city. For over thirty years the Tri-

70 the Retail Lumber Trade:
Whether the Canadian recipro-

good thing for the United States

but there is no dispute about the
fact that the farmers are so seri-
ously alarmed that their attitude
will seriously depress business for
this year and for an indefinite
time to come.
One thing is certain-that in
view of the average lower price

this country. the removal of all
duties on raw farm products will
tend to equalize those values, rails.
ing those in Canada and lowering
those in this country. The latter
process will limit the borrowing
power of the farmers and will
tend to attract the attention of
farm land buyers to Canada In
stead of this country. Consequent
ly. every bank, land company, etc.
interested in American farm Sc
curities should be opposed to the
agreement.
The alarm of the farmers is 60
ing to make them extremely con-
sentative in buying this year.
They will spend as little money
as they can and abandon or post
pone plans for farm improve
ments. This will directly affect
the business of the retail lumber
men and of merchants in all 9th
err lines.
Many of us believe that the
agreement was effected primarily
in behalf of two interests-the
daily newspapers, who want free
paper and pulp, and the Hill rail-
roads. which want to haul grain

He came up into congress and adj
dressed them. saying:
"Senors. you will either pass this bill
or 60 straight home"
They looked a minute and raised the
cry Of Long live the president" and
passed the bill.
When Diaz became president the
first time, before his principles became
known, his relatives and friends used
to 60 to him for easy jobs under the
government. They expected to be al

they were very much disguised when

to allow anybody else to do so.
Believer In Revolutions.
Although called benevolent despot.
Diaz has not forgotten his battles for
liberty and is still believer in revolu.
lions.
Up NORTH" he once remarked to an
American visitor. you do not under
stand the evil conditions which prevail
in Latin American countries and the
need which exists for armed protest
against them. am still a revolution
lst at heart. because I believe in prog
~ress. In Latin America revolution is
the spirit of progress, the spirit Of re-
sistance to evil.
1T was through bloody military
revolution that Mexico found herself
on the road to advancement, and it is
owing entirely to the industrial revolu-
ton now going on. to the disgust Of
many conservative people. that prog
ress is being made.
without frequent. persistent revolu-
tions the political question of Spanish
America would be insoluble and the
Spanish American people would lapse
into the conditions which prevailed in
Europe during the middle ages"

TWO LETTERS.

Interest in the campaign that is be.
ing made against the adoption of the
Canadian reciprocity treaty is not
confined entirely to the western part
of the country and manufacturers
and others in the east are beginning
to sit up and take notice and careful
investigation into the merits of the
proposition have changed the views of
many who were at first enthusiastic
for the passage of the bill as it was
first proposed, and as it is hoped now
to pass. There is no doubt in the
minds of many but what the matter
could be amended so that it at least
would not be so Objectionable to the
people of the west.
That objection to the treaty as pro-
posed is not confined to the west is
proved by the letters which are print
ed below, copies of which have been
forwarded to the Tribune in the hopes
that they would be used in the cam
paign which the papers of this state,
at least large majority of them, are
waging against the passage and adop-
ton of the treaty.
The communication referred to fol-
lows:

N. D.
Ny dear Governor: thank
you very much for sending me

Times of March 20, containing the
call issued by yourself and other
prominent men for state conven-

pact with Canada. / have read it
and also the other news in that
paper on this subject with great
interest and am glad to see that
the national menace is not allow
ed to be ignored in your section
of the country.
Here, I am sorry to say, the re-
publican party is very badly divid-
ed on the subject, and even some
of the manufacturers have been
led to think that there might be
greater gain than loss from the
so-called reciprocity. We are do
ing all we can, however, to &C
quaint them with the menace to
protection involved in the propO.
sition, and you can safely assure
your agricultural friends that the
Home Market Club, which en-
braces hundreds of the leading
manufacturers in the New Eng
land states, is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with them and doing all it
can to defeat the one sided COM
pact. In fact we have always adj
vocated impartial and non-sec-
tional production; all that the
farmers need as we'll as what the
manufacturers need.

Another great achievement Of tho
t9iaz administration has been the I'M
provement of Mexican harbors on the
gulf and the Pacific. The latter fact Is
especially notable in the instance of
the Teluantepec route. BY this high
way goods in transit from Atlantic
ports to California have an advantage
of 100 miles over the proposed Pan.

CONSPICUOUS also has been the rail.
way development. Of which the Te-
huantepec is the latest phase. At the
beginning of the first term Of Presi-
dent Diaz, in 1877, but one railway
the Mexican or Vera Cruz line, 283
miles in length-existed in the repub-
lie. In 1880 the two great systems OF
the Mexican National and Mexican
Central railroads were commenced.
Railroads now traverse every state ex-
tept Lower California, Tabasco and
Campeachy. At present about 1900
miles Of railroad, operated by ten COM
panies, are in service.
An equally remarkable feature has
been the solving of national financial
problems. When Diaz came into power
the public debt amounted to above
$50, 900, aAd the annual deficit in
national revenues was near $10,O00.-
600. In fourteen years the debt had

from taking charge Of A1exico's trans

been the leading figure. His work has
been thus recounted:
