BISMARCK, March 7th. 49,

However dilatory have been our
lawmakers i'll the past, this week
has been marked by the rapidity and
great Importance Of their work.
EARLY Monday morning the legisla.
ture commenced the work of max
ing things hum-nlght and day
without cessation this august body
has bent its mind towards important
Legislation. The appropriation bills,
about forty in number, went through
each house like wild fre-having
been introduced nearly one month
since.
The bill introduced by Walsh, of
Grand Forks, providing for the pub
lication Of the laws in certain news
papers is now passed each house and
in the Governors hand, by whom 1t
is hoped it will be approved. The
educational bill sweeping away the
old school law, and Patton's IRON
clad prohibition bill making it al
most certain and instant death to 90
within one mile Of anything that
looks like grog, have also passed
both houses.
In the house two of South Dako-
ta's intellectual giants, namely,
Speaker Keith, of Sioux Falls, and
Representative Il Atkins, Of Canton,
between whom there exists no little
personal bitterness, ''locked horns"
on the floor of the house yesterday,
Speaker Keith leaving The Speakers
desk and taking the floor, when he
Fairly failed Aikens to death. This
fight dates back to the organization
OF the house, i'll which fight Keith
was also the victor. But while
these two aspirants for South Dako-
ia honors have their political fight,
North Dakota has a man IN C. c..
Newman, with whom Representa-
tive Atkins has tried his metal in
debate, and the house has on several
occasions given it's verdict that
Newman is the most logical repre-
the hardest to down on
The floor Of the house.
The Governor has vetoed the bill
[ocating the Agricultural College of
North Dakota at Valley City, and
Mcdonald (Dem.) who is the author
IF the bill, is prepared to fire the
Governor in the soup. "I'll get
even with the faxen-haired scoun-
1rel, is the motto Of Mcdonald.
who, by the way, is one OF the best
md most earnest workers in the
upper house. .
Before this letter reaches it's read
us the 18th legislature will have
djourned and the mem bers gone
aome to their constituents to face
heir public records-many of which
am sorry to say l cannot endorse
from any standpoint-but there are
but few North Dakota members but
can stand on their record both for
ability and honesty. The acknowl-
edged leaders of North Dakota are
Senator's Glaspell, Walsh, Miller and
Hughes, while the house leader from
North Dakota is without doubt Hon.
.. c. Newman, Of Sargent-bright,
,lean-cut, and controlled by no man
Or set of men on earth-a political
student whom no man in this legis-
[ature can hoodwink or deceive.
Newman is a man Of worth and
ability. Sargent county and the
whole Of North Dakota may we'll be
proud of him,
The almost certain appointment
Of Hon. John Waugh, Of James,
town, to succeed M. L. Mccormack
as Territorial Secretary, meets with
the approval Of all North Dakota
