Gov. Church DisapprOves Of Few
Measures and submits Special
Message.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., Feb. 6.-Gov. Church
fired three vetoes and special message
at the house to-day. The bill repeating
the session law of 1885 providing for
struck juries was first Oh the list of
vetoeS. This disapprOval was referred
to the Judiciary committee. Adams
seed wheat bill came next. 1t passed
over the veto with but three dissenting
votes. The joint resolution providing
each member with ssiX papers was
passed over the veto, but the vote thus
passing it was afterwards recOnsidered
and the disapproval message referred to
the committee on ways and means.
This is move to make the governor ap-
pear in the light of a wild calculator.
The message concerned the eXpendl-
lures by the territorial veterinary de-
partment, and was accompanied by
copies OF letters proving that his excel
others right along. A communication
from the attorney general stated his
opinion to be that the usury bill
was constitutional. A request was thrust
upon the treasurer for a statement OF
the military encampment expense Tor
the Last two years to see it there is any
thing crooked there. BiXler introduced
a bill making void any clause in any
act requiring note to be paid in gold.
The council committee on territorial at
fairs returned the joint resolutions call
ing OH the governor for statement OF
the clerk hire expenditures in his office
without recommendations, which seems
to indicate that the affair was none OF
their business. A bill repeating act OF

asking for school lands to be delivered
in the sweet subsequently and $1,000 for
maintenance without delay. The coun-
Gil will consider the seed wheat veto
tomorrow, and pass the bill, without
doubt, over the veto.
THE NORMAL SCHOOL CONTEST.
Very similar to the North Dakota ag-
ricultural fight in the council is the
Normal school contest in the house. In
both eases the South Dakota members
slid gracefully out of the dilemma, with
the parting injunction to the Northern
warriors to settle these family rows
among themselves. As has already been
stated in the GLOBE, every one predicts
that Valley City will win in the council
scrap, but i'll the house the forces are SO
uncertain and the leaders SO evenly
matched that no one will hazard an
opinion upon results. Tom Elliott is
working for Lisbon and c. c. New
man for Minor. The bill estab-
fishing If AT the latter place
demands less of the earth, only
twenty sections of school land after
North Dakota is admitted as state.
but it is we'll known fact that an ad-
vantageouS trade beats a just, equitable
bill to death in this kind of race, and
Mr.. Newman need place but little re-
lance in his bill going through on its
merits. He must get down to his knit
ting and give popular MIR. Elliott a
double dose of his own medicine, and
that is the magic of his personal ill.,
f1uence in driving trade. Newman
caught on to
THE BAND WAGON
early in the session, but gamblers are
always said to be lucky in their first
venture. This was his first experience
with the legislative lottery, and has yet
to prove whether he can make them
come his way or not. His frieuds think
he can, and his acquaintances say that
with experience no one will be his
superior. Everybody knows Tom
Elliott and his methods. His personal
popularity is his strong hold, his skill
in trade a great second, and his per-
sistency guarantee of success. Wah-
peton is also candidate for this prize,
but the bill establishing it there has not
yet left the council. This will not, it
is thought, cut much figure liz
the approaching struggle, however.
Mr.. Miller, of Richland, the
coacher became tangled up somehow
or other with the Fargo forces on the
agricultural college deal, forcing Nc
Donald, the Valley City champion, to
seek allies elsewhere. He being flushed
with success and the Fargo representa-
tion subdued by defeat, Mr.. Miller
will probably not enter the lists clad in
armor-though, perhaps, he may be the
real umpire who will decide the con-
test. One thing can be relied upon; he
will make the best of bis opportunities,
whatever they may be. 1t is under
stood that he refused the presidency of
the council for the reason that he did
not wish to elevate himself to the detri-
ment of his town-Which such course
would tend to do.
