days more of law-making and %law-repeal-
ing, oratorical rackets and parliamentary
Roman candles and the first session of the
legislative assembly of the state of North
Dakota will be a thing of the past.
THE "FEATUREs'
of yesterdays session were not brilliant
but numerous. There was no transcen.
dent display OF red fire, but the numerous
electric flashes of sentiment, political heat
aud economical enthusiasm gave to the
proceedings an interest and attractiveness
we'll worthy of the immortal aggregation.
The salary bill was considered and the
pruning knife was freelysapplied in the in
terest of the destitute, who are now called
upon to pay exorbitant salaries to the
state officers.
The bill appropriating money to defray
the expenses of the investigating commit
tee. was indefinitely postponed.
The house decided that the public insti-
buttons of the state should use native coal
and Walsh went out into the corridor to
shoot a little birthstone into the air for
having the Grand Forks university in
cluded.
Selby made a speech against the bill on

local Industries meant monopoly and
trusts; he was thanked heartily by the JEFF
tersonian Lutz for his eloquent democratic
speech on the tariff question, and Selby's
jocular fellow republicans remarked that it
was the first time they had given evidence
of his democracy.
Haggart's bill amending the law for the
management of the Fargo agricultural col
lege was defeated in the house. There
was a general 'knocking out" of local
measures INC the thinner resolution for
the removal Of the capital was hurled into
the soup without ceremony.
There was a meeting between Repre-
sentative Stadleman n .~AttOrney-Gen-
eral Goodwin in which Mr.. Stadleman de-
manded IN explanation Of his statement
to the Pioneer Press correspondent to the
effect that 81, 900 of lottery money was used
in Pembina county for his (~Stadleman's)
election. Goodwin denied having made
such an accusation to the correspondent,
and gave a written statement to that effect
to Stadleman.
Senator Diesem furnished the roast in
the senate on the Devils Lake deaf mute
bill. He hoped the bill would pass over
the governors veto; he thought the veto
was a piece of Recommending based on
false economy. Governor Miller vetoed a
mutes at home, yet he sent a bill to the
legislature for their care in South Dakota
simply to have it said that no new instltu-
tions were established during his admins
tratiOn. Having hurled anumber of arrows
at the governor, Senator Diesem turned his
attention to Senator Winship, spoke Of him
as the mar who voted to appropriate 5000
for the display of pumpkins and pullets at
a Grand Forks fair while he voted against
a bill apprOpriating a similar mOun for
the education of the unfOrtupEte children
of the state; who voted to continue extrav-
agant salaries and appropriations for the
Grand Forks university, but on every bill
that did not affect his Immediate constitu-
ency voted for a *srecOrd" on economy.
Senator Swanston also gave the "roaster"
a whirl, and after a little parliamentary
tilt the bill was sent flying over the veto.
1t has gone to the house. where it is said to
have a good prospect.
ate bill licensing sleeping cars, referred a
large batch of senate bills to the commit
tee of the whole. and the frisky McCor-
mick looked after the interests of his
friends by securing the indefinite postpone
ment Of the bill making the city of Grand
Forks a legislative district by itself and
thus doing what it is claimed would rele-
gate Winship to the soup.
PROSPECTIVE.
The last of the house bills have been
considered so far as the house is con-
cerned. There is no time for more, as they
cannot get through the senate constitu-
tionally. The work of the session is about
ended. There are a few finishing touches
to be put on, a few frills to be added to the
legislative desk, acap Sheaf to be added to
the pile and then will the musical voice Of
the solon die away in dulcet echoes in the
corridors of the capital and the dignity of
the numerous statesmen of the state take
its departure. "
