1t is said by good authority that the
state senate cannot organize without the
approval of the democratic senator's
The lieutenant governor does not count
in such proceedings. This is one block
IN the way of the proposed fraud. An
other is Governor Toole's certificate
This ought to be essential to the admis-
sion of senators in the United States sen
ate. 1t is noteworthy that the state
Bow vote in public. Their decision was
in secret with the aid of repub-
ican partisans and then with shameless
disregard for all official propriety they
met for moment and declared the pro-
ceedlngs at ar end.
The new county commissioners
SIS Hawkins, Wegner and Dickey-
we're all in the city today and had
IN informal meeting. The first thing
hey ran up against was article nine of
he ordinance adopted by the constitu-
ional convention which declares that
he terms of the several county officers
hall begin upon the admission of the
tate and end on the first Monday of Jan
larry, 1898, "except as to county treasurer
whose term shall begin on the first Mon
lay Of March, succeeding his election and
md on the first Monday of March, 1898;
nd also, as to county commissioners
n this constitution This wns taken as
hrowing some doubt upon the
inc the commissioners should I
inter- upon their duties, but in reality it
Ices not. The terms of the commission
RS, like those Of the other county officers,
,egin when the state is admitted, and as
hey have filed their bonds ard qualified
hey are now the commissi GERS of this
ounty. The old board is officially dead. +
The exception noted in the ordinance re- t.
ers simply to the term Of the commits d
toner's, which as provided for in the CON '
titution is four years. There is no pro-
ision elsewhere as to the time when tie
erm begins. The new board can proceed
0 business now, under the law, whenever
hey see fit. The old board has no further o
ease of life and for this the people of
cascade county have ample cause for re- Al
oicing. The ground we take is confirm G
d by a paragraph in the Helena hide
endent Of today, which says: "County {
Knight, Edgerton and
turns met yesterday ami organized. Mr.. z
might was complimented by being I'M q
chosen as chairman of the r,
GARD, After organization the board ad- "
burned subject to the call Of the chair n
lan." i
