themselves that they could Slumber undis-
turbed under their victorious banner. The
passage Of this resolution in the senate
and the sentiment favorable to it in the
house is a revelation. 1t like an
electric shock to the extreme; it is the in
terjectlon Of a gin-tizz in the buttermilk of
the prohibition luncheon, the popping of
the champagne cork in the prayer meeting.
1t was the mild and pious-visaged Bailey
Fuller who introduced this inspirational
surprise into the proceedings and imme-
diately after its passage he cast an atfec-
tionate smile of fatherly approval at his
senatorial boys that must have repaid the
most o~bstreperous for their defeat and dis
appointment. The resolution will now 90
to the house where it will encounter some
blizzardy weather which may become a
genuine simeon, through its influence in
debate.
HEIGH-HO.
A legislative excursion always suggests
hilarity, enjoyment, entertainment and
amusement, but when it is announced that
the legislature will take an excursion to
Grand Forks the assurance of enjoyment
is doubly sure. The legislature yesterday
accepted the invitation of the people of
Frand Forks to visit that city Saturday for
the purpose OF inspecting the state univer.
sity ana on Friday night the law-making
dignitaries will start in a special train for
the city of banquetS and boOms. They
will spend Saturday in Grand Forks, will
breakfast in Fargo on their return Sunday
morning and at noon will reach James,
town, where carriages will be in waiting
where as a special favor certificates of re-
covery will be given them as they leave the
institution.
A BOOM O M'GINTY.
Now that the Legislative charity ball is
an assured fact and that it is to be the
"swell" recherche" and ne plus ultra event
of the year, the friends of Representative
Haugerud have inaugurated a boom for
him as master of ceremonies. Through
bad news from home. which happily has
been succeeded by favorable reports, this
popular Ward McAlllster of the west was
prevented from officiating at the Sheridan
ball, and now that the legislators have
taken decisive steps in the direction of a
Dal!, the friends of the sturdy old dude and
society leader insist that he shall be recog-
nized. Nor is he without able leaders in
this contest in which Major Edwards of
Fargo is said to be his most formidable
rival. Captain Dan Yorkey, who IS a
connolsseur in all that pertains to high
stepping ~sociability, arrived from Grafton
yesterday and as he is ore of the most
loyal constituents of the Walsh county
statesman, betting is two to one in favor Of
Haugerud.
While it is admitted that the bright and
dainty Major Edwards has many eminent
qualifications as a society leader, his es-
thetic star fails to shine when brought in
contact with the effulgent social orb of the
radiant "McGinty."
II ONELY STATESMAN.
And it came to pass that when the states
men gathered they were sore in need of
clerks-and among the applicants were
many daughters of the distant states. And
one came who was winsome and persua-
sive and a statesman of the temple didst
lind her a place upon the pay roll. Aud 10,
after a season OF short duration, she didst
depart quietly, noiselessly, but suddenly.
And now the ttatesman muses.:
IN THE SHADOWS.
Oh,moaning winds your soft, yet ~voiceful sadness
Is meet companion of the woe that's mine,
For where was ono all radiance and gladness
No more her eyes with living lustre shine.
A vacant place-a cage by bird deserted
A solemn silence where her music thrilled;
A heart by dire surprises disconnected,
A brain with doubts and speculation filled.
Oh. bird of brilliant wings and plumage rudy
That in these lonely wastes was wont to reign,
l pray thee pause-some plan of mercy study,
And send me back my heart-and watch and
chain,
