The work Of the joint commission was
accepted without debate or dissent by the
convention on the Sd. The last matter TO
occupy the attention OF the convention to
any extent was the matter Of indebtedness.
TO what extent does the limitation Of
$50O,O0J bindY" has been debatable
question. How can the constitution
name this 40 limit when already the debt
inherited exceeds $7OO,OOO?" The COM
mittes ON indebtedness recommended
Judge Corson's suggestion that clause
be added to the effect that the article
be construed to s,ean tnat the state
debt be limited to $5OO,OOO over and
above the debt inherited from Dakota
territory. Much discussion followed At
last Judge Edgerton, calling Mr.. Williams
10 the chair, took the floor and offered an
amendment that the total state debt b
limited to 100000 over aud above the
debt inherited from the territory. This
motion prevailed. II Is not clear whether
this inherited debt means the &7la,'OO Of
bonds issued for various public bull. ings
or whether it also will include the SAG, o 70
which is to be paid to North Dakota.
At the evenings session il was decided
that the salary Of members Of the legisla-
ture be $5 per day and the length OF the
session sixty days, except the first session,
which should be l2O days.

yet of the speed and nature Of the gait that
is peculiar to these horses. 1t seemed impos-
sible to them that a horse could make a mile
in two minute and ten seconds, as had been
told. Count Orloff was the first one who
placed Importance upon great speed in trot
tiers, and for this purpose crossed full blooded
Arabian stations with mares from Holland
From this cross he gained the sire of the Rus
sian horses, known by the name of Orloff
~trotters.
In America the raising Of trotters is traced
back to the full blooded stallion Messenger,
introduced from England. It is an acknowl
edged fnct that the principle adopted In
America to cross only horses that nave de
veloped great speed in trotting has contrib
uted mostly to the present stage Of develop
ment OF the American trotter. Germany,
too, has now for some years paid attention
to trotting races, There are two r-acecourses
in Berlin Berlin Weissensee and Berlin
Westend, The best trotter in Europe today
Is Polly, a big brown mare. She was raised
in America and trotted this year under the
nance of Utopias. About four years ago she
was taken to Europe from America, and
there commenced her career as a trotter.
Her achievements in Francea and Russia nave
shown that she is the best trotter in Europe.
The fortunate possessor of the mare is the
well known Berlin sportsman Enrich, the
first manager of the new Berlin Westend
racecourse. Perhaps the principal reason
why In Germany 30 much attention is now
paid to raising fast trotters is that the gov
eminent recognizes the value which a crossing
and careful breeding of acknowledged good
trotters will have upon the native breed Of
horses. And good horses are very desirable
In a military country like Germany.
