WILL TBEY CONE?
With happy air and winning mien,
With rock ard rye and bracing rum;
With jingling chink and bright canteen,
| Oh, will the festive miners come?
That depends. It depends on whether the
bill introduced BY DR.. Hutchinson yeaterd.y
for the taxing Of mines, is infringing on the
sacred rights Of the gold diggers, OF rendering,
| them the lenienoy they desire The bill intro-
duced by the doctor provid.s that three per.
cent of the product shall be paid in lieu of other
| taxes, one per cent. going into the territorial
! treasury and two per cent. into the county.
One thing is evident, the bill was introduced
| by The doctor in all esrnestness and unless the
miners side of the question receives the help
ing hand of some potent power, the bill will
slide through even as fabricated electricity. Th"
speed indicated needs no explanation. But shs,
will go.
! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
just what Mr.. Pickler's bill for short terms
of impri SOD ment in the territorial penitentiary
]
terday, which it passed and approved, will per-
NIT term of imprisonment in the territorial
penitentiary for less than one year. Nav, this
may be for the purpose of providing comfortable
winter quarters for enterprising politicians who
can work at spring and fall elections, and it
I may be to furnish home for the deserving
legislator during the winters of the odd or off
| wears in this land of biennial sessions. It's
good scheme. Thare are now two handsome,
by steam, with ,od bedding and restaurant at
tachmenta, end they should be utilized.
| TENACIOUS SPHINX.
Sphinx county has not left the legislative
baunts just yet, and she is liable to remain with
| the solons until settlement of her troubles is
effected. MIR. Miller introduced bill " stsr'
day providing for the location of the county
seat of the county Mt Ashton. This bill avoids
the Objectionable features of the bill vetoed by
the governor, and leaves the county boundary
line undisturbed. tt is thought this measure
will send poor ole, war burdened Spink away
happy. 1t will at least remove load from the
minds of the representatives.
! ADDS TO IT'S STRENGTH.
| Mr.. Myron Introduced bill providing that
| liquor shall not be sold at any point within
three miles Of the Vermillon University. This
| adds 18O rods to the rejuvinating strength Of
! the liquor and brings it up to the proper stand
| ard, You know the forty rods article satisfies
the ordinary mortal, but think of the three-
| mile brand-320 rods. 1t will stir old Ken"
lucky to the bottom Of her deepest cellars, aud
then they may be compelled to knock off few
| rods. Mr.. Myron's tastes the hyperhr
| lean order, and be intends that the Vermillion
| students shall have na ordinary inspiration.

BILLS PASSED.

passed.
TIE POSTMASTER.
E. l.. Siguor, one of the rigorous and trusty
l liver valley, has been appointed pcstm astcl for
the Legislature, and is now clothed with AL the
dignity of that position.
| RA1NED ON THE POWDER.
Again the council po 1der was inundated. 1t
| was flooded. Yesterday afternoon at 5 O'Clock
| wa the time for the discussion and disposition
| of the Ordwsy college bill, on which question
| Messrs Kennedy and Pettigrew ara the chief
champions at var. As usual, the supply Of
| oratprical powder for the cccasiou was large,
| but it Was seriously dampened and wouldn't
explode.
THE SPECIAL ORDER.
When the time for the cons idera:ian Of the
specia! order in the form Of Mr.. Kennedy's
Ordway college bill, that gentleman moved that
the order be passed and the bill be allowed to
! come up under the order Of unipisbed buelness'
| Mr. Pettisrew said he hoped that motion
| would not prevail. He thought the gentlemen
| of the council were fully informed on the meas
ure and were ready to vote. If the bill should
| pass. then pass it. If it ought to be killed,
ther kill it. No other matter he'd received
| more careful consideration than this, and he
hoped it would be acted upon without further
postponement.
Mr. Gamble thought the postponement
should be definite.
| MR. KENNEDY
withdrew his motion, saying he would just as
soon have;a vote then at any time. He then
presented petition from $50 business men of
Alb rdeen, and said that the petition was not
only from Aberdeen, but from land office men,
bankers and leading business men Of Water
town and other towns. Mr.. Kednedy thought
! it unfair to the Sc venth district to sayto them
"you shall vote for appropriations for
every other section Of the territory
and you of central Dakota, one of the most popu-
lous and best portions Of Dakota shall not have
the benefit of one cent Of the public funds ex-
pended for public buildings" Mr.. Kennedy
continued: 'You have located one university in
TIE southeastern portion where you can look
from the cupola into two adjoining states; az
other in northeastern Dakota from which you
can look into Minnesota and Canada. Is 1t
| right for North and South Dakota because they
