When this much had beer' secured,
the depot agent led what appea&red to be a
small trump, but it took a trick. He
had been in the habit of takiag, charge
represented Wentworth in the Provincial at night, of the sack containing naail leaving
House, has received his commission as dis- at 6.13 a. m. Now he told the postmaster
trihutor of stamps at Osgoode hall. that there were so inany " hoboes". at the
hotel, that it was not safe to, keep the mail
there, and that he would no longer be re-
sponsible for it. It was at the latter end of
th.e winter when laborers were beginning to
come in looking for work. The postmaster
emphatically remarked that 114 was not go-
ing to get up at six o'clock, if he lost the
post office through it ; nor did he for several
days, but made up the mail at night and.
put the sack outside the, door to take its
chance. More than once it remained there
Instil morning. To remove a postmaster
some charge must be specified, even if it be
only "offensive partizanship" as at Fargo.
Here, however, was a change to make a
bona fide charge, the opportunity twee not
lost. Then the postmaster and Ins friends,.
with a wail, accused the depot agent of set-
ing a, trap, into which the post master had
fallen. The postmaster got un a peti-
tion, signed byh goodly numberloif farmers,
most of them Republicans praying that he
be allowed to retain the Office. 'Seeing that
he was more than likely to lose : it, he and
others -persuaded the leading bUsiness man,
already referred to, to apply for it. 'The
postmaster himself, headed. the petition, and
*it was confidently 'expected tliat the new
applicant, being a Democrat, Wreald have no
difficulty in sweeping things. There. cer-
tainly was no difficulty in getting signa-
tures to the petition, for the applicant is
deservedly much thought of thioughout the
district. .However, he met with the same
obstacle as did the postmaster. It was im-
possible to obtain the necessartf political en-
dorsement. Neither he nor the departing
postmaster could understand wilts, the poli-
ticians at the county seat should be less ac-
coinmodating than acquaintinces nearer
home, many of whom had signed all three
petitions. However, it has been officially
annotmeed that the one now fiolding office
is "removed." The change pill probably
take place at the end of this inonth. The
depot agent's candidate is appointed.
Whether strikes are justifiable or not;
whether a community, sometimes even the
whole country, should be disturbed and
business demoralized on accotint of difficul-
ties between employers and employeesnare
questions which will be more frequently ask-
ed this year than for a long time past. This
part of the count.y was treated to a railroad
strike in the spring. Although nearly every
one was put to more or less inconvenience,
and many had to suffer actual loss, still the
men had the sympathy of the public. The
strike was remarkable in many ways.' Be-
ginning on one of the western divisions of
the Great Northern Railway, it rap-
idly covered the whole system. The
strikers were members of the -American
Railway Union, an organization of very re-
cent origin, differing from other railway
societies, in that it includes every class of
employees. The fact that it puts all on an
equal footing has been a stumbling block to
many, and the different brotherhoods were
disposed to look unfavorably on - the ierfant
society,. in its trial of strength against the
greatest railway system in the Northwest.
The infant showed itself a young giant.
The railroad. manunement lost no time in
trying to utilize the appareat _lack of har-
mony between. the different societies, but as .
so frequently happens, it over -reached it-
self before the strike ended. In a remark-
ably short space of time, there was a com-
plete tie-up. The strikers raised no ob-
stacles to carrying the mails, though they
detached the passenger coaches from the
train. Mail remained a long time at several
points, on account of the compaay refusing
to take a mail car alone. The advantage of
having a good political pull was shown in
this strike ; in two or three ways; the com-
pany secured. the aid of Uncle Sam to de-
feat the employees. Being a good Demo-
crat, the :president of the road was eagerly
listened to when, appealing to the post -
office department for help. Through the
proper channels a decision was rendered, to
the effect that the whole train was Govern-
ment property, when mail was carried on
it. Any one interfering in any way with
such a train committed an offense against
the United States Government. A great
many special deputies were sworn in, to ae-
compa.ny each train; still cars were un-
coupled. Finally the mail -car was placed
at the rear of the train.

Notes from North Dakota.
'
DEAR ExPoSITOR —From the time seed-
ing became general, until about a week or
ten days ago, farmers were comparatively
cheerful. From the very beginning, growth
was continuous and rapid, up to the early
part of this month, when strong, dry winds
from the south kept up for so long that in
many places the wheat began to get yellow
and the farmers to feel.blue. A few hours'
- good rain last Thursday restored the natural
(=Teen to the fields. .
Owing: to the severe lessons taught during
the past few years, many farmers have sown
a good. deal of flax, or more oats and barley
than Usual, instead of depending _entirely
upon wheat; also more potatoes have been
planted. However, the . majority of them
seem still to pin their faith to wheat, say-
ing that if every one raises more , of the
other products, the market will be over
etocked.
This part of the country has not escaped
the hard times; no one appears to have any
money. The country merchants have all
been carrying exceedingly light stocks.
However, since seeding they have been bay-
ing much more freely. It is generally con-
ceded that these hard times are. a blessing
to the North Dakota farmer; the statement
has even been made that had they been ex-
perienced. several years ago, there would
now be no hard times in the State. In the
early days, crops were geed and prices high,
, so that farmers could get almost unlimited
credit. The craze for acquiring land affect-
ed nearly every one; instead of paying off
their bilis, many farmers took advantage of
their credit, employed their • money in grath
fying their desire for another quarter; half
or whole section of land. Then, seeing that
money rolled inso easily, why should they
not enjoy themselves, and indulge in any
luxuries to which they took a fancy? Even
men who, before coming te Dakota, had
been mong the most careful and prudent of
the proverbially careful Ontario farmers,
were affeeted by the ease with Which riches
could be acquired„ and became as extrav-
agant as any. Nowadays it is not uncom-
mon to hear the remark made that if, in-
stead of atteraptine it now when so many
arzepermiless, mere:lents had established a
cash system at the first, the farmers would
not have been so reokless with their money.
So rigid is the economy that many must now
practice, on account of the refusal of
merchants to " carry " them any longenthat
in some instances it amounts to deprivation.
On account of the difficulty in obtaining a,
reasonable price for anything he has to sell,
even the well -to -de farmer has to di) some
very close paring. With what mixed feel-
ing many look back at the bonanza days of
North Dakota may be imagined.- Those
versed in human nature are cruel enough to
say that could they return, the good times
would in a couple of years make the farmer
as .eareless as ever.
It would. surprise many in Ontario, could
they know how many farmers in North
Dakota are in the habit of buying their
pork and butter. In this respect also, a
ehenge is taking place. s
The office of county superintendent of
schools is similar to that of public school in-
spector ia Ontario. The superintendent is
elected ler a terra by the people. In this
county the election is held to -day ; there
were, at one time, five candidates in the
field ; two withdrew some time ago, leaving
the present superintendent and two who have
been teaching in • the county. • One of the -
Tatter had her certificate revoked. by the
superintendent, and for that she determined
to oust him from office. As is too often the
case, political, social and religious influences
e have been brought to bear, and in the news-
papers some highly edifying -correspondence
has been carried on between the opposing
parties. In order to obtain office, some pe,o-
pie would move earth and a region neither
terrestrial -nor celestial.
agreed to1refer the question to a
beard of arbitration,, to be composed as fol
lows There shouldbe one representative
of the railway company,' one of the strikers,
and in case theseitw,'o could -not agree on the
third member of the board, the selection
should be made bY either of two judges
named in the letter. For consenting to ar-
bitrate, the praises of the "magnaminity"
of the railroad President were sung through-
out the land. The leaders of the strikers,
who had declared that there was nothing to
arbitrate and that they were bound to win,
'would probably have had to agree to end. the
matter by arbitration, but would have no-
thing whatever to dta with a board, two ot
the members of which would be in favor of
the railroad company,—seeing that corpora-
tion had the selection. .The wholesale deal-
ers and. jobbers of the twin cities now took
,the matter%up, but the railroad President,
having received credit for being " magnan-
imous, ' could now afford. to be firm, .espech
ally as a portion of the army had been sent
to his aid. Strange as it may appear, "the
backbone of the strike was broken," a num-
ber ' of times. "All trains will run on
schedule time to-mcirrow," was more than
once announced. With some difficulty a
train, conveying troops and bridge material,
succeeded in reaching the Dakota line. The
St. Paul and Minneapolis Papers at this
time made special mention of the great
cheerfulness of the President of the road.
He was showing the strikers how vain was
their threat to prevent a freight train going
west. The Marshall and the railroad Offi-
cials were perfectly willing, in fact quite
anxious, that they should proceed by rail.
They doubtless would have, had it not been
for the difficulty in procuring engineers to
pull out the train. The Brotherhood had
finally decided to assist the American Rail-
way Uni,ma so the attempted. display of
military force ended in a fizzle. Seeing
this, the .."magnanirnous" President consent-
ed to allow ti committee of business
men to arbitrate the matter. The
strikers had already expressed a
readiness to submit the question to them.
A few slight concessions to the road were
made, but the result of the arbitration was
a complete victory for the men.
In one clause of the agreement signed by
both contending parties all the strikers,
"without prejudice", were to be allowed
to resume work. One of the first acts of
the company was to discharge one of the
engineers. Whatever may have been the
extent Of his guilt, this was clearly pontrary
to the agreement, Again trouble was
brewing ; the company obstinately refused
to take him back. Just as a strike was
about to be declared, the former board of
arbitration offered to again act, both parties
consenting.. This was done, and the men's
interpretation of the agreement was held to
be the correct one.
Of the twO bridges, for which the well
protected train was conveying material, the
public has since , heard nothing, and does
not know where they are located, neither
does the company, seeing that during the
strike not one hundred dollars' worth of
property was destroyed. Is comment
necessary?

Among other salaries cut down last fall
were those of engineers, who accepted the
reduction. Finding the strike less easy to
end, without giving in to it, than he had
imagined, the President restored the wages
of the engineers, hoping to widen thebreach
between the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and the American Railway Union.
He thus unintentionally furnished the Am-
ericen Railway Union with a powerful wea-
pon. What the old. established and power-
ful Brotherhood had been unable to accom-

had to be replaced, and in order to • do :this
it was necessary to have material there. As
the strikers had prevented, any freight be-
ing moved, and, had expressed their deter-
mination to prevent any until n settlement
should be reached, something must be .done
to show " who is running this road any-
way ?" as the President said. The United.
States Marshall for the district of North
Dakota had been lauded to the skies for the
heroic manner in which, a revolver in each
hand, he jumped into the. midst of an un-
armed crowd of strikers and made an arrest.
For some reeson (some assert at the instiga-
tion of the railroad company), this valiant
man, who_was a host in himself, sent a re-
quisition—not for the State militia—but for
Government troops. As the regular soldier -
were to be • employed- to help the staume
Democratic railway magnate to force his re
fractory servants into submission, no tim
was lost in ordering out two companies. _
In themeanthne the leaders had bee
holding conferences in St. Paul. Busine

extent that the Governor of the State.

"'To the victors belong the spoils," is a
motto not so exclusively Republican as was
once supposed. Even in country villages,
the supporters of the Government havej the
privilege, if not pleasure, of scrambling for
a plum, in the shape -of the post -office. A
change of administration therefore means a
shuffle and a new deal all around. Cass
county has had its share of changes. A
new man has been appointed at Fargo, the
county seat, and also. at several small
places. The latest change, up to date, is in
the north-eastern part of county. Some
former Huronites were trying to assist the
difierept "candidates. .`the present post-
master received: his appointment during the
Republican administration ; this means
that he was regarded as a. Republican. He
had just moved to the village, having
bought a stock of merchandise from his im-
mediate predecessor in office; the latter re-
signed in favor of the new comer. There
being no other candidate, no trouble was
experienced in receiving the appointment.
.After the elections this postmaster felt
quite secure, as before going to the place
where he is now engaged in busiaess, he
had. always been a Democrat. After the
Democratic victory, he remarked to a lead-
ing politician that he was still "a good
enough Democrat to keep the post-ofhce."
He probably would have remained undis-
turbed, but for one thing; he had made an
enemy of the depot agent. Now it is not
generally considered. that a depot agent is -
such a highly important personage that no

Paris Green
To Kill The Pa6to Bugs
Some People
That is when you get the Right Article. :IA. great deal of
useless cheap stuff has been sold, which failing to 'give
satisfaction, has somewhat shaken the Onfidence of! the
purchasers. But the Pare English Greian that we sell,
will always kill. Do not be deluded with,the idea that any
other poison which owes its virtue to the green it contains
can be cheaper than the Pure Paris Green. And, be-
sides, nothing can be more quickly applied, In fact, when _
you have god green there is nothing to be desired. And
we are selling the best English Green for 25c per lb., the
price you have sometimes to pay for tirjash. Save your
potatoes by buying your Paris Green ati,
