Cutting BACK I'lnnts.

Many people have an idea that plants
must not he cut back no matter how
straight and branchless they may grow.
! read in u popular periodical protest
from one OF these people against cutting
back fuchsias, saying that lit was alto
gcther wrong and injured the plants"
knew better. For several years we have
cut back oil fuchsius that did not of
themselves grow bushy. Abutilons are
generally disposed to grow tall and
branchless, and SO when they are about
ten inches in height we bchead them
about three inches. Directly two
branches start out, and when several
inches grown we cut them back. Two,
sometimes three, branches start forth.
with.
Then we allow the plant to grow and
bud until quite large, when we fire.
quently do a little pruning. 1t is then
that, by cutting back plants, we delay
the blooming period, but when it does
come we have flowers OH half dozen or
more branches, instead of one main
stock. Most plants grown in the window
during the winter are apt to be tall and
fragile and need to be severely cut back
in the spring March is the best time,
but, if neglected, should be attended to
as soon as possible. Cuttings can be
rooted in q large mouthed bottle filled
with water and placed in the window.

SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES.
A Speaker pro Tenn. who Made Fun
for the Boys.

for the Boys.
The Joint committee on salaries of en-.
ployes reported to both houses this
morning. The per diem is as follows:
Chief clerk, 81; assistant clerk, 50;
journal, enrolling, assistant enrolling,
docket and engrossing clerks, 81 each;
doorkeeper, scrgeant-at-arms, and SER
gcant, s. EACH messenger, assistant
messenger and assistant doorkeeper,
watchman and speakers secretary, 81
each; pages, ".
The committee doubted the constitu-
tionality of paying the speaker any COM
pensation in addition to his per diem,
and called attention to sections 10. -
and %, article =, of the constitution, the
last OF which reads: Nor shall the com
creased or diminished during his term
of Office" The senate adopted the re-
port after Owings had made his protest
against the employ nient OF two copying
clerks.
THE HOUSE wRANGIEs.
The house GO. into wrangle over the
report and fought all day. Twice the
house went into committee of the whole.
During the morning discussion Eddy
said he could not think of Language
strong enough to express his contempt
for man who would attempt to cut
down the wages of n working man. This
went right home to Brown OF Spokane,
chairman of the committee which made
the report, and he afterward took Eddy
to task for what he said. He spoke
warmly and gave Eddy to- understand
that lie would have to respect committee
reports and IL he had any contempt to
express, the exterior OF the building
would be tho proper place to do II.
At tho afternoon session Drew was
called to the chair and furnished the
members barrel of fun by his amusing
comments. lie hurried things along too
rapidly, in fact for Hutchinson, who in
/ sinuated that a quick decision ON one
motion smackcd OF job. As soon as
| lie stated proposition he would put IL
! to IA vote and give his decision before a
division could be called for, and then he
would say: "Mr. Clerk, what is the
next thing?"
When deciding a vote lie would use
and don't you forget it," "Thaps tally
one for the noes.
Once when division WAS demanded
he ordered the members voting ayes to
arise, and cried out, "NIr. Clerk, count
these fellows"
When Speaker Fcighan returned, he
said to him: Colonel, we have been
trying to fix your salary, and | am sorry
VIC could not settle your hash this time"
After great deal of filibusterins' the
per diem of the journal and enrolling
clerks, assistant messenger, assistant
doorkeeper and watchmant were raised
to IS, and those of the pages to 81 so.
The matter of fixing the speakers sal
ary was referred To the judiciary com

THE MONTANA CAPITAL
The Democrats Forcibly Take
Possession
And PUT LOCKS ON THE DOORS
Both Sides Are Holding Caucuses
The Republicans Will Rent
Other Rooms.

HELENA, Nov. 22.-Busy groups have
been standing about the streets all day,
despite the steadily falling snow. The
legislative question was the chief topic
of conversation up to dark, but little
new had developed.
State Auditor Kinney requested the
keys to the legislative halls from the
county commissioners, who politely re.
terred the auditor to Governor Toole, and
finally refused to surrender the keys. The
auditor has not interviewed Toolc, but
will make demand ttpon him for the
keys, and If this demand Is refused the
auditor is thinking of calling upon the
secretary of state to fix up another room
In more accessible building.
The climax came at q o'clock when
the governor issued a proclamation, in
which he designates the certificates of
county clerks as the only lawful ones.
He calls upon the members of both
houses to assemble at "tlIc courthouse"
In Helena ut II O'Clock Saturday. He
invokes the aid OF all law abiding citi-
zens for IL peaceful observance OF his
proclamation.
Matters are at fever heat tonight, and
republicans will resent the insult placed
upon the late governor and his associ-
ates on the canyassing board.
An indignation meeting was held to-
night as the result of the governor proc
lamation, which is considered the most
extraordinary document issued.
The governor assumes, and usurps viz
tually, the powers OF tho legislative as
sembly, In deciding who shall constitute
thut body. There is no question hut
what this action will bc decidedly OPP

poses, and the republican members say
they will entirely ignore the proclama-
ton.
