American parliamentary usuages, there.
by showing themselves unworthy the
confidence, respect or esteem of any but
moral towards, and uofit to associate
with free, independent and patriotic
American citizens, therefore; be it;
Resolved, That this senate pass vote
of censure upon Senators F. G. Barlow
and ID. s. DOdds. and that We declare the
office of president pro tenn vacant and
that We proceed to elect president pro
tenn.
Senator Swanston advocated the SUBJ
stitution in q characteristic speech, but
Senator Bells moderation prevailed. He
SAID:
II think the language of this substite
is too harsh and / would move you that
the preamble be stricken out. [ make
this motion because I do not wish this
| senate to stoop 80 low as to handle the
gut that these gentlemen who made
this minority report have handled"
This motion prevailed and Mr.. La
Moure moved to insert as a preamble
the following:
Whereas, Senator Dodds and Senator
Barlow, minority OF the judiciary COM
mittee, in reporting to this body on SEN
ate bill No. 195, saw fit to go outside of
the question under discussion and charge
members Of this senate with being shys-
ters, dead beats and political dema-
gogues, therefore be it etc.
The motion as to the adoption Of the
resolution was put, after the delivery OF
splendid oratorical effort by Senator
Diesem favoring it, which was carried
and Senator Judson LaMoure was elec-
ted president pro tenn. on vote OF % to-
In the House.
The house met at $50 and spent all
morning on the senate school bill There
we're several interesting tights. The
principal one was on fixing the salary of
the county superintendent OF schools.
The educational committee reported
recommendation raising it from the
scale fixed by the senate and the house
refused to adopt the recommendations.
On the contrary, they inserted an amend
ment providing that the salary shall not
exceed $1,000. The senate fixed the
limit at $1,000. The salary is regulated
by the number of schools IN the county.
The district proviso, which reads as fol-
10 vs., was stricken out:
Provided however, that in any county
already organized under the township
system, when SO petitionea by one-half
of the residents OF any township having
the care or custody of any child of school
age, the board thereof may sub divide
said township into smaller districts.
At TIL Afternoon Session
continued but not concluded. Another
$50 a. N. session will be held tomorrow
10 round up the bill.
Senator Fishers woman's suffrage bill
was a special order for three o'clock, and
to satisfy the large crowd Of ladies who
had assembled in anticipation of a fight
on it, the school bill was temporarily
thrust aside and this bill taken up.
There was great razzle over it. hut no
notable speeches. In fact. the only
speech for or against was that of
Beard, the smooth and elusive Cass
county statesman, who delivered
we'll prepared and thoughtful essay.
Stevens characterized the old mans
effort as the best speech Of the session.
A motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill was defeated on tie. On final pas
sage the bill was defeated IS to "a. A
poll of the ladies present was made and
they were against the bill by the same
vote The bill provided that at the gen.
eral election to be beld on the Tuesday
after the first Monday in November 1890,
the question of granting the right of
suffrage to women shall be submitted to
the qualified voters of the state, as pro-
vided N section 100 of the constitution,
and If a majority of all the votes cast
they shall be entitled to all the rights,
benefits and privileges of citenzepship
enjoyed by male voters and shall be sub
ject to all the laws, restrictions and pen
altles governing the same.
Live Bismarck Topics.
Senator LaMoure arose to a question
of privilege yesterday. Holding in his
hand copy of the Grand Forks News,
he made as short a speech of the kind as
ever went on record, saying: Il intended
to read an article in this paper and reply
to it, but will not do so. I have passed
the point where I can be in ured by the
bark of dog" He threw the newpaper
into the wastebasket and sat down.
A young man arrived here from the
east on today's train and this evening.
while feeling pretty gay for himselfstated
to promiscuous party OF men in
popular resort that "Jimtown" ought to
be called Jaytown. He said that it was
the softest snap he ever struck, in an
extensive experience OF working fakes;
that he did the deaf mute act there and
made good wages.
