"1n VAIN, with lavish kindness,
The gifts Of God are strewn;
The heather in his blindness
Prefers cheap goods alsne.
Taxation, oh! tsxationl
The joyful sound proclaim
TIL the remotest nation
Has learned projections name"

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Blus introduced and referred.
By MI. Cobb, to prevent the secre-
tary Of the interior from issuing pat
ents TO land grant railroads where such
roads have not been completed within
the specific time.
BY Mr.. Bedford, to promote COM
merciol relations with Contra! and
South America.
Mr.. Grant moved to suspend the
rules and pass the bill establishing the
territory of North Dakota and provid.
Ing temporary government therefor.
Mr.. Grant said the measure was not
partisan, bat purely q business one
Mr.. Randall opposed the bill. There
was no real requirement at this time
for division of the territory and il
was necessary to look ahead to see
the roal object of the bill. He took 1t
for granted that the object was ulti-
mately to bring in a new state, per-
haps two Of them. If there was a state
to come In he would prefer Dakota to
be admitted In entirety. 1t was vain
to lull democrats into security by as
surance that this would dismiss the
subject of admission of the state.
What assurance was there that this
would dismiss the subject of admis-
sion of the state2 What assurance had
they when this bill went to the senate,
it might not be amended 30 as to pro.
vide tor admission of the state, OF
perhsps two states. The gentleman
from Vermont might give his word OF
honor that such was not the purpose
of the bill, and that such would not be
the result, but the senate had a will Ct
It's own.
M. Grsn5-What objection is there
to the admission of the state If 1t can
come as other states come in2
Mr.. Rlndsll-Throw off your mask
and present that issue and / will an.
swer you, but I never like to fight
people under cover.
Mr.. Williams wis suggested even
though the senate should amend the
bill 80 as to provide for admission OF
De- ts II conla no. be passed By the
house.
Mr.. Randall-The bill wsuld 90 10
the speakers table Just as the whisky
bill has done and the whisky bill may
be instrumental In passing the Dakota
. bill. This means the admission of the
southern part of Dakota and the gen.
tlemen who vote for it will vote for 1t
with their eyes open.
> Mr.. Randall called attention to the
fact that the republican rarty had ad,
mitted Nevada and Colorado; one had
y been admitted because there was
political necessity as to control Of the
senate; the other because of the
poll ical necessity az to the electoral
collage. He did not propose to be
. particeps criminis to the admission OF
, Dakota to meet sons emergency which
might occur.
, Mr.. Burrows Mich regretted that
! a purely business question should be
dragged down to a political one.
! Mr. Randall inquired whether the
= admission of the state was purely 9
business question.
MI. Burrows-This is not admission
of the state, and the gentleman know
it Is impossible to pass an admission
: bill.
, MI. Randall (from his seat I hop
30.
, "Now," continued Burrows, ''h'
l admits in his sea- that this is so; h
, admits that there Is no truth In tn,
statement.
Mr.. Randall-Wha do you mean b,
o no truths
: Mr.. Burrows-There is no correct
ress In the statement.
z Mr.. Randall--Does tho gentleman
mean that l was not right
! ~ don't want to be drawn ava,
i. from my argument" interrupted Mr.
= Burrows.
81 do not want the gentleman to b
70 offensive" retorted Mr.. Randall.
Z MI. Burrows-I hope the gentle
= man will look at this as a busines
" question.
Mr. Randall desire to ask whethe
y you mean to dispute my word.
y Mr.. Burrows-I decline to yield.
b Mr.. Raudall-This is the last plac
y Ia the world that / would seek a con
% troversy, but the gentleman has sal,
that there was no truth In what ! said
y Mr.. Burrows The gentleman mis-
o understands me.
,, Mr.. Randall want you to be
L man, and if you want to insult me
y do 1t in come other place than here.
!, Mr.. Burrows--When l stated {
u gentlemen hat it was not proposed
- admit Dakota In this s%ession, that
10 could not be done; / understood tn
i gentleman to say shat is 80"
"a Mr.. Randall said / hoped so.
During this controversy the houH
was In great confusion. 1t was diff
cult TO distinguish what vas said b
the members.
