| believe in former letter | stat
ed that the white winged dove Of
peace was cooling in the Legislative
branches, and that the dark and
threatening clouds of discord had
divided and passed away. leaving the
boisterous and nervous House. the
cool and dignitied Senate and the
handsome war" Governor all being
lulled to sleep in the cradle Of con.
tentment. This state of affairs
seemed to actually exist but, alas!
how tickle is the mind of man. The
war is OH in earnest and bids fair to
last during the entire session. The
Governor scolds the House, the
House says "Rats!' The Governor
damns ex-Auditor Caldwell and it
is I'LL done the shoulders of Hon.
Gilbert A. Pierce. Representative
Atkins, of Canton. the ablest man
III the House, leads the fight against
His E1cellency and he has numerous
portions Of the Governors official
hide i'll his possession. 1t is now
expected the Legislature will pass a
joint resolution asking for the i'm
mediate removal of Church.
Church accuses Gov. Pierce of at
tempting to sell ont his friends to
Church and claims the proofs thereof.
Gov. Pierce is not at home but his
friends claim it lie manufactured
and so on.
The session is now on it's last half
and very little has been done. 1t is
generally conceded that few if any
appropriations for the erection of
new institutions, excepting that for
the erection of Soldiers Home at
Hot Springs, will be made. This
institution, | trust, will pass. Col.
James is still here working like a
hero for the measure, and hi, friends
are legion.
Major Moore, G. T. Mccoy, and
Atty. Dennis, of Aberdeen. are here
working in sympathy with Hon. A.
w. Campbell, the honored member
from Brown.
The most striking figure seen
around the Capito! is the cool, l'gni-
fled General Allen, Of Fargo. Gen.
Allen has an army Of warm friends
in North Dakota, who will insist that
he shall not ask in vain for any po-
sition in the coming State. There
is no public man in North Dakota
SO universally liked as he, and no
one ever thought of charging him
with breaking faith with his friends.
Senator Walsh introduced a bill
providing for the publication of the
laws in every legal newspaper in the
Territory. The bill was favorably
reported by the committee, but it
was referred back to the Appropria-
tion Committee. The bill provides
that 5 cents per folio shall be the
price paid, which of course will not
pay for the paper, yet it will estab-
lish q law that will be of more gen.
uine worth to the people than any
law on our statute books.
The House gaye the Governor a
deep slash just beneath the fifth rib
to-day in passing memorial pray
ing President Cleveland to remove
the Governor at once, and if this IS
not complied with then a powerful
committee armed with charges will
; call upon President Harrison and
present their memorial aud proofs
A novel feature o the memorial tt
President Harrisou is that we demand
the removal of Gov. Church Of this
Terri' ory ; p. m on March 5th
A. d. 1889; and | understand the
Council, after looking che grount
over to find club to hit tho New
York visitor, will introduce bill te
change the name of Church count,
