Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-01-25

Dickey OF jamestown, Governor Allen OF
Fargo, and Governor Pierce of Bismarck as
members of the third house, is cause for
delight among those who are anxious to
see the next governor of Dakota.
IT IS generally conceded that the pas
sage of the bill limiting the time which
sheritfs can serve to two terms will simply
add to the Dakota craze for combinations
those under this law being between the
sheritfs and the deputies, whose titles will
be exchanged each third term.
The FACT that there will be prize fight
in Mandan this evening, reminds us that
the date for the hard glove contest between
that Prot Il. r. Keith % will act as '1e referee cree
while John Haggart, of Fargo, and Dan
YOrkey, of Grafton, will occupy the cor
ners of the seconds. We are reliably in
formed that the result of the soft-glove con-
tests yesterday is no criterion upon which
to bet next Saturday.
SAIL THINGS in this world are subject to
change" said an eminent philosopher.
Yes, that is true. Take the members of the
Dakota legislature for instance. When the
committee appointed at jamestown decided
upon Fargo tor the location of the cOnstitu-
ti0nal convention, the members from the
Fargo district could hardly wait until the
while the Grafton representatives advised
deliberation and conservative action. Yes
terday, when the Grafton boomers had
won the combination and urged the suspen-
sion of all rules and chain-lightning
action, the Fargo members stood astounded
at the unseemly haste and wondered how
men could so unhesitatingly ignore the
things in this world are subject to change.
SUSPENSE.
[Auditor Ward, Commissioner of Immi-
grafton Mcclure and Attorney General
Skinner were reappointed by Governor
Church yesterday. The council will take
action to day.l
War1ius:: How now, McCluricus?
BY all the dogs of war, it doth appear
That the noble Loucullus Churchius
Hath sent most bravely to the council high
Our names with that of fair Skinnerius,
For offices of state that we do hold.
And even now as do speak, the senators
Assembled are. with doors fast barred and bolted
And secretly discuss our claims most just.
Speak, McCluricus, thy silence doth appall me.
What think you of our fate?
McCtuTiciis; By M halidome, M Wardius,
Why dost thou thus conundrums give!
You ask me what think when, by the gods,
The very air about this whole event
Is filled with deepest and most awful mystery.
All that say, M noble Wardius,
Is that never yet hath won q fame
For reading human mind, and thus do
I, like you, stand wond'ring what the
Senators wilt do. But I do know
That for the two long years that hath
Rolled back into oblivion's vast abyss
We hath been faithful to the realm.
Our records do stand out in bold relief
And by the laug ing stars swear
That never shalt our enemies say aught
That canst upon our well-earned fame reflect
Without they do receive ten blows for one
And find their tattered hides upon the fence.

Betray thee. And wilt We be confirmed
Ha, ha! Thou makest me laugh most

And thou. pale Wardius. and give to
Thy Skinnerius that room which one
Must have to throw himself.'

These eyes that pierce with fiercest glance

Then Danish all thy doubts. for by the
Blood stained moon. If do hear that
Any man doth aught against ns say,

The forest-felling storm sweep down upon

And wilt we be confirmed Well emile

Thou dost hope but what care we for
Sickly forms, when 'sEli' is onr name?
Come! Let's merry be; all care abandon
To the winds, and on these merest trifes
Let us sin le. Aye there's the tip
