Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-03-08

SOOu HS anu ellclCeO the applause OF his
admirers, but the nervy speaker used a
double-edged weapon and made the debate
extremely interesting. 1t was one OF the
events OF the session worthy of the war
reputation of the house and adds to the
red-tlre brilliancy and splendor of the clos
ing days. Go on. gentleman-yOn have
all appreciative audience.
A JEFFERsoNIAN REVOLT.
And the governor didst veto the college bill of
the democrat Mcdonald.
MacDonoldi,ss:- Yea, friends, ye do most
wisely speak
When ye do say that am in the soup.
Ye speak full we'll of what the present holds,
But by the shades of Jefferson do now swear
And let it written be upon the starry vault
That sure as sun doth rise or waters flow;
As certain as thatman is born to die;
As sure as earth upon its axis moves
So sure wilt before another night
O'ertake the wagon where the band doth play.
In days agone, oh Churchius, loved thee well
And in thee all m confidence reposed.
But now, just as M cup of JOY vast full,
And while stoodst in brightest perihelion,
Thou didst uptrip, and fell me with blow
Such as wouldst give John Sullivan eclipse.
But am up III seconds fan me we'll.
The welcome winds returneth to M lungs;
And when again the referee calls "Timer'
Thou'lt find me with M dukes within the ring.
For as the hawk upon the hen doth swoop,
So wilt scale thy veto with whoop
OH, BIXLER, WHERE ART THOU.
Where is Bixler? All of yesterday we
searched for the eloquent philosopher
from Spink Through halls and corridors,
in cloak rooms and lobby, did we search
in vain for the entertaining and accom-.
plisEed member whose fierce black eyes
and outrageous beard have been among
the popular ornaments of the Legislative
group. But no Bixler could be found. We
found pair OF black eyes with the Blk
ieyian twinkle and head upon which
the hirisute adornment was parted III the
middle even as the gallant Bixler was
wont to divide his ebony locks, but the
face-oh, bitter disappointlnent-it was
not Bixler's. There is suspicion in the
minds of some that the gentleman upon
whom we gazed was Representa-
tive Bixler, or at least what was left OF
him by the barber. but we refuse to be-
lieve it. The search will be renewed to-
day. and day and night, at early morn
and in the evening shades, will we con-
tinue in pursuit until once more our long,
ing eyes rest full and fair on BiXler. Oh,
tickle sOlOn, with the glossy beard, return
from out thy strange secluded haunts.
IT is GENUINE.
There has been doubt in the minds of
some as to whether or not the present leg
islative assembly was of the genuine type.
For many days it failed to give evidence
conclusive, but last evening when the
house members got the jocular and joviaI
Sheets in the chair and entered upon the
delightsome work of firing paper balls at
each other aud filling the air with old
books, stray flags, empty cigar boxes and
the relics of important Bills there was no
longer doubt of its Qenuineness. It is a
genuine legislature. The signs are unmis-
taxable and with gladdened hearts and
high appreciation the visitors express their
satisfaction. When member grasps a
memorial to congress by the neck or grabs
an usury bill by the slack of the crupper
and rolling it into a hall hurls it across the
room at another members eye, he has
mastered the science OF statesmanship and
climbed the dizzy heights of legislation.
The neares the session approaches to its
that it Is fully up to the requirements.
THREE DAYS MORE.
But three more days now remain of the
last legislative assembly of the territory Of
Dakota. The shadows are already gather
ing about the solonic group; the. evening
has arrived and soon will all that pertains
to the territorial lawmaking body be lost
in endless night The fact is hnrinninp IN
