LAUGHING IN HER SLEEP.

caught my love reclining
Beside the ingle warm,
Her silken tresses twining
About her snowy arm.
A silver ripping murmur.
A dimple half a-peep,
Proclaimed my little sweetheart
Laughing in her sleep.
AS she lay there a-dreaming,
Had Cupid crept a-near,
Beside the embefs cleaning,
To whisper in her ear
Some plan for mans confusion.
Some plot for heartaches deepf
1t filled her soul with rapture,
Laughing in her sleep.
All, woe betfde the morrow
When she shall come to wake:
Ny soul is wrung with sorrow
TO think how hearts will ache.
For gallant beaUx may tremble,
And plying Seraphs weep,
When Cupid talks with beauty
Laughing in her sleep.

THE BEGISLATURE.

The Republican papers all over the
state are jumping on the legislature
with tremendous force for not doing
something, In looking through the
state exchanges and reading the numer-
Gus complaints lodged against the legis
lature, we fail to get an intelligent idea
of what our state contemporaries are
complaining beyond the fact that the
legislature is spending a great deal of
public money without having done
much work.
1t is not our purpose to enter upon a
defense of the Legislature, but in all
fairness we must say that this is the
best legislature that has assembled in
this state for a good many years. The
membership is more than ordinarily in
telligent, and the body is composed of a
more distinctly representative class Of
men than legislatures usually consist
of. 1t is true that comparatively few
laws have been passed, yet we do not
know but what that is a recommended
ton. In the past we have had too much
legislation-that is, too much of the
poor quality that we have been getting.
A decrease in the number of laws that
legislature usually turns out, and an
improvement in the quality, is about
what the public interests require. If
this legislature has ad opted the motto
Fewer laws and better ones,' we are
quite sure the public ought to be in
dulgent towards it.
There is another matter ia connection
with this legislature that our state eX-
changes should not lose sight of. 1t
is engaged in heroic struggle to re-
form itself, to check its own extrava-
gance and to get down to an economic
basis in accordance with the popular
idea of legislative reform. 1t surely
should be allowed all the time that may
be necessary to accomplish this praise
worthy object. If it takes the legiSla-
ture all summer to fight it out Oh the
line of self-reform, the time should not
be begrudged it. For it will be utterly
impossible to have eXtravagances
checked in other directions until we
can get legislature that possesses some
knowledge of the principles of economy
in the management of its own affairs.
There is no call upon the GLOBE to
go out of its way to defend Republi-
can legislature from the assaults of the
Republican press, but we are SO much
interested in the work of self-reform
that this Legislature is now engaged in,
we want to see it have a fair show
ing to accomplish what it is aiming at
1t has been many years since we had a
legislature that would even consider
the question of reducing its own ex-
penses. 1t may be many years before
we have another one. So we implore
our brethren of the state press to hold
their souls in patience until they have
seen the end of this legislative session.
Then, if the reforms we all desire are
not accomplished, the GLOBE will join
them in making it hot for unfaithful
members who permitted the public
money to be wasted

NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW.

There will be an important eonyen-
ton at ST. Lonis next Thursday. to be
held under the auspices of the Asso-
ciated Wholesale Grecels. The conyen-
ton is to be composed of representa-
tiyes from the various commercial
bodies of the United States, and the OBJ
ject is to formulate national bankrupt
law to be presented to the next con-
gress, together with petition asking
for its passage. Most of the states have
a bankrupt act intended to afford the
debtor some protection against the
creditor. But there is such a diversity
in these laws. and many of them are so
VIGOROUSLY unjust to one or the other
party, there is a decided sentiment
among business men that there ought
to be uniform and equitable bank
rupt law which shall mutually protect
both debtor and creditor. The conven-
ton at ST. Louis next Thursday will
consider this subject in all its details.

that, as the government is coming sill
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1889-11-01

yer enough, there In no demand for the
proposed convention.
Notwithstanding the fiippant style
I'm which the Times seeks to dispose of
the business, we fancy that h cOnven-
ton will meet and that it's intelligent
members will formulate he views
ON silver coinage which nave been faith
fully discussed these many years in
the West and which are nov finding
advocates throughout the East. We
predict, too. that the utterances of the
delegates will command a hearing with
M nj Washington who help to shape
national legislation. There was q time
when eastern editorial pages could cry
down the voice of the western press
and people. but that time Is no more.
This serious view of the situation In
taken by the New York Tribune which,
while it is utterly hostile to the convic-
tions On silver held in h West, per-
ceives the strength of the movement
and warns the East against what IL
assume to be n trans MissOurian her
esy. When the discussion regarding
silver il again fairly opened.
we may expect gOldite organs
like the Tribune Ito start out
with the old saws that IA country
already has more money i'm circulation
than il needs. that the constitution
does not contemplate a double stand
ard" that the liberal coinage or in
creased purchase of silver would do
harm-and all hat.
Having intelligent grasp on this sub
ject. the West will be- able to meet n
exploded fallacies to which the eastern
press must again resort when h dis
cussiOn begins: and the indications are
that the convention to be- held in st.
Louis will serve al excellent purpose
in helping tn bring the issue fairly be-
fore the country.
