Tlairtoenth Sesalon---DAlly Report OF the
Proceedings OF b Council and
House Of Representatives..
DAY.
GENERAL coMMENrs

e. f. TltlnelH
TIL. council bill providing for the estab
lishment Of an insane asylum for Dakotu
went through the house this morning with
only ak votes 8 sssinst it. It was under The
management of Nj. Gamble, in the house
and being an important measure has beer
carefully and successfully attended to BY
him.
MI. Browns geographical bill came along
in its regular order in the house this morn.
ing and was to have been quietly referred
together with petitions and remonstrancee
appertaining thereto) to the committee Of
which Nj. Brown is chairman. Mr.. Bur
bank. however, was forcibly struck
with the idea that measure
which proposes go much carving up Of the
peoples domain should be kept before the
eyes of the people, instead of being buried
in . committee which might take . nj
sided view of the whole business: He there
fore put in a motion to have it referred to
the committee Of the whole, and TO give the
inhabitants Of the Jim river valley an OPP
portunity to explain the measure and its
bearings to the committee. The more Mr..
Brown didn't want this done, the more Mr..
Burbank became convinced that it was a
bad measure which couldn't stand the in
spection of a Legislative body in the light of
the facts as they can be set forth by those
who are most familiar with the subject.
Mr.. Burbank. usually carries his points,
and in this instance his logic did not fail
him. The bill will be considered in com
mittee of the whole and the house will be
given a complete understanding Of its
features before it is brought to a vote.
There was a little skirmish in the house
this morning on Mr.. Langness' high license
bill, but its friends reached out their numer'
GUS hands and the bill was safely deposit
ed in the committee IN agriculture, where
the chairman, Mr.. Languess. will watch
and guard it until thetime comes to bring
it up for final action. The bill will pas
the house by a good majority.
Mr.. Shelly, this morning, introduce;
a bill in the house providin,
that the territorial tax due from Gran,
Forks county for the years 1879 and 1880 b
covered back into the county treasury to b
used in the payment of small pox expenses
The bill is q good one and Twill probabl,
have no opposition.
Mr.. Stephens has sharpened I'M all hi
weapons and girded on his armor and is il
the field against the Sioux Fall
penitentary bill. Under the present la,
the p%enitentiary is located at Bon Homme
and Mr.. Stephens can see no reason 70
changing it against the wishes Of his con
stituents. Stephens is a host in himself ane
has a good following in the house on mos,
occasions.

to protect itself in war, by force of arms,
from dissolution, and in peace, by the
civil authorities, from fraud-Of the
maintenance and vindication of the war

preservation of the army and the courts

Intensified by the misfortunes its trea-

maintenance of the policy of resump-

better and more abundant currency than

Shall We Meet Again ?

The following is said to he one of the
most brilliant articles written by the la
mented George ID. Prentice:
The fiat of nature is memorable.
There is no appeal for relief from the
great law which dOOms us to dust. We
flourish and fade us the leaves of the
forest, and the flowers that bloom and
wither in Il day have no Trailer hold on
life than the mightiest monarch that
ever shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations of men will appear and dis
appear as the grass, and the multitudeS
that throng the world to-day will dlsap-
pear as the footsteps on the shore. Men
seldom think of the great event of death
until the shadow falls across their own
pathway, hiding from their eyes the fa-
ces of loved ones whose living smile was
the sunlight of their existence. Death
is the antagonist of life, and the cold
thought of the tomb is the skeleton of
all feaStS.
I'VE do not want to go through the
dark valley although its dark passage
may lead to Paradise; we do not want
to lay down in the grave, even with
princes for bed-fellows. In the beauti-
full drama of Ion, the hope of immortal
ity, so eloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds deep response in
every thoughtful soul. When about to
yield his young existence as sacrifice to
fate, his Clemantha asks if they shall
meet again, to which he replies:
- have asked that dreadful question
of the hills that looked eternal-Of the
clear streams that flow forever of the
stars, among whose fields of azure my
raised spirit has walked i'll glory. All
were dumb; but as l gaze upon thy liv-
ing face feel that there is something in
the love that mantleS through its beauty
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again, Clemantha.'
