A CORRESPONDENT sCORCHED.
Mr.. AlKENS asked the clerk to read the
following from Saturdays edition of the st.
Paul Globe:
Cass pays more taxes into the territorial
treasury than any other county than
some half dozen others that have always
had their hands deep down in that prize
box; yet it has never received a cent in
the way of appropriation. Those who
have been defeated in legislative contests
during the past ten years say this is be-
cause the representatives sent to
the capital haven't known how such
business enterprises should be con
Quoted. The contest before the committee
between Fargo and Grafton for the location
OF the proposed constitutional convention,
resulting in complete Knockout for the
former, appears to substantlate that theory.
SO far as the conveniences for such gath
ering, looked at from every possible stand.
point, Fargo is so far ahead that there is no
comparison. In fact, when this was men
toned in private conversation to five men,
bers who voted for Grafton in committee,
plainly stated that their reason for op-
posing Fargo was because the legislators
from that district were "stinkers.' They
went further and claimed that the lobby
sent out here to pull for that town, with
the exception of John Haggart, was of the
kid glove and

that estimates a mans influence in the
Legislature by the fit of his clothes, and
rather repelled than attracted the average
member. There are niue legislative dis

the special committee to which this i'm

ing with the Grafton party. 1t was thought
that he would naturally be in favor of Cass
county's metropolis, if for no other reason
than that OF sort OF neighbOrhood patriot
ism, and is regarded as traitor. Fargo's
friends have not given up the contest,
however, and will make two more battles,
one when the bill is finally voted upon in
the house and all the way through the
council.
Mr.. AIKENS moved the adoption of the
following resolution:
WHEREAS, In the Dakota edition of the
st. Paul Globe of January 26th there APP
pears an article credited to the correspond
ent at Bismarck. which in the opinion of
this body is justly entitled to censure, in
asmuch as it uses unbecoming language
concerning the Hon. j. w. Burnham and
Edwin Mcneil.
Therefore, be it resolved that we con-
slider such article unbecOming reSpecta-
BILE newspaper, and in violation Of the
courtesy extended by the rules of this
house to newspaper correspondents, and
further, that repetition of such conduct
will result in the expulsion of such cores
pOndent from the house.
The resolution was adopted by unani-
nous vote.
ANOTHER VETO.
The governor returned house bill No. 80
with his objections as follows:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
BISMARCK, d. T., Jan. 29, 1889.
To THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,:
Bill No. 80, being a Joint Resolution pro-
viding for the appointment and compensa-
tiOn of minor officers of the Eighteenth
Legislative Assembly.
This Resolution, like Joint Resolution
No. 96, is open to the objection that it is
contrary to and in violation of the Organic
Act as intimated in my veto of said Reso-
luton No. S6; and this Joint Resolu,io ion is
likewise Objectionable on the other grounds
stared in said veto.
Even it the above objections were not
sufficient, it is open to further objection
that the authority is conferred upon the
Speaker Of the House ond the President OF
the Council to appoint from time to time,
such clerks of committees, stenographers,
postmasters and employees for their respec-
tive bodies, in addition to those already
provided for by law, as may in their jud-
ment, be necessary for the business of their
respective houses. This is certainly oh
JectiOnable. nor from the standpoint of
clothing the President of the Council and
Speaker OF the House with authority to APP
point a proper number of employees, but on
the ground that there is no limit to the
number OF employees that may be placed
upon the pay rolls of the Territory.
It's further provided that the compensa-
ton to be paid such subordinate employees
shall be: "FOr the assistant and bill clerks
