The decision in the capital case is yet
a subject for comment and the Grand
Forks Herald expresses itself as follows:
Notwithstanding the decision of the
supreme court of the territory reversing
the able opinion of Judge Edgerton, as
reported, sustaining the capital commits
sion's work in selecting Bismarck as
the capital of the territory, the same
contest with the men who were mixed
up with the Infamous affair will con.
tinue. What the particular line of
reasoning is by which the judges arrived
at the conclusion that power delegated
to the governor and legislature can be
by them in turn delegated to Tom, Dick
and Harry, remains to be seen. and
whether their reasoning is sound will
probably be referred to supreme court
of the United States. constituted of
judges conversant with constitutional
law The question before
the court was not the one of
consummate fraud and bribery in the
commission. That can alone be decided
by the people Of the territory. 1t was q
question that went to the very right of
the commission to act as such at all.
That Judge Edgerton was correct will
yet appear. It can not, therefore, be
claimed BY the capital commissioners,
that the decision on that fundamental
question in the least helps them or vim.
dicates them generally in their dark and
devious deals in locating the capital al
Bismarck.

1t begins TO appear as ludicrous Incl

an occasional newspaper actually believes
that the opinion of Slick Aleck in the

this happens, because, by the grace of

knight Errantyt tn the Nineteenth Century

nineteenth century who will quickly arise
and fly to the rescue Of beauty in distress.
Acase on Saturday proves this Beauty is
often coupled.with tinidity and in Leather
wood, our charming little suburb, it is no
exception. Some Of it's ladies' have lately
been frightened, at night by the hooting Of
an ancient owl which nightly sung its
mournful solo from the summit Of one Of
the high trees which give the village its
name. One of Wheeing's young society
knights heard of it, and equiPping himself
with regulation musket and two nights
rations, be went out on the warpath 1t
was Saturday night The pale moon looked
out from eloudless sky and her chsste
beams touched to greater beauty the aristo-
cratic suburb, and revealed the lovelight
glowing in several bright eyes in half shaa

windmill, and all was quiet save the inter.
mittsnt vail Of the discordant owl and
the pathetic bray of q pet donkey,
when down the lawn stole the
Wheeling cavalier with musket cooked and
breath bated. A fash rent the darkness
and shsre it across with a cash; heavy re-
port boone out on the stiffness and awoke
the echoes from Bellevie~ heights TO the old
stone qusrry. Four conversations were in
terrupteb in Lestberwood; passionate
declaration died on psir Of manly lips: a
moment cftrembling suspense, and then the
cavalier emerged from the shrubbery and
laid the CORY corpse Of the owl at fair
lady's feet: Joyl wassailr hnis!
