One Of Idal.o's New Senator's Reads

And Disreguards Senatorial Etiquette.

And Disreguards Senatorial Etiquette.
There is an unwritten law in the
U. S. Senate, that new Senators
should be- seen and not heard.
Senator Mcconnell, Of Idaho, how
ever, flung defiance in the faces of
the old Senator'S before he2 had
been sworn in eight hours. A dis
patch reads as follows: 4
The best part of the evenings
performance was reserved for the
last, when the Hon. Mcconnell,
who had been a Senator just eight
and 2 half, hours, stood on the
beautiful Turkish rug of the "Mich-
igan Senator" and delivered with
most telling effect typical West
ern Republican oration. Nothing
daunted by the fact that he had
never seen some Of his colleagues
before and that his face was un-
familiar to more than one of them,
this Senator from the newest State
of all walked up and down the par
lor Of his Michigan colleague,
flinging right and left his defiance
of Senators Frye, Wilson, Hoar:
Evarts,s Edmunds, Sanders and
others who dared to question his
loyalty to the people at large and
the Republican party in particular.
Mr.. Mcconnell said that he,
above all men, had the right to
speak at a Republican caucus,
because he was present at the birth
Of the republican party and had
been a true, consistent member of
it ever since. He was not opposed
to the Elections bill he said, but
the people of his section of the
country thought the measure much
less important than bill provid-
ing for the free coinage of silver.
The bill came directly to the heart ,
and homes of the Western people,
he said, and as the Republican
party in The future must look to
the Western States to give it a big
majority, it must first give the peo-
pie of that part of the country the
legislation they demand or the
majorities would not be forth
coming.
Such a speech as this coming
from Senator who had taken the
oath Of Office but a few hours
before, was a decided innovation
upon Senatorial customs, aud Sen.
ator Hoar, who helped to rush the
Idaho Senators forward in order to
take the oath office in time TO sup.
port the Force bill, looked at him
reproachfully as he took his seat
after his speech and sadly said to
his neighbor: ''Ingratitude, thy
name is Mcconnell"

Special 70 THE TRIBUNE.
Boise CITY, Idaho, Jan 16.-The
work of the first session of the leg
islature is now fairly under way.
The various committees of both
houses hold sessions each day on
the different measures introduced
while the calendars have plenty of
bills ready for the house to take
final action upon. About fifty bills
have been introduced in the house
so far, and about thirty in the sem
ate.
WATER BILLS.
The important subject of irriga-
ton and water rights is going to
receive thorough consideration.
Two bills to this end have already
been introduced in the senate
one bill prepared by Hon. P. J.
PeAey, in cooperation with State
Assembly of the Knights Of Labor,
was introduced by Senator Gum,
of Alturas another introduced by
Senator Wells, of Kootenai, is sup
posed to be the work of Mr.. A. D.
Foote, of the New York Canal. Coz
Mr.. Ballentine acting with theAda
county delegation, has had a bill
under consideration for some weeks,
and will lay it before the house
this week. 1t is to be hoped that
the result Of all these bills, will be
some measure that will bring relief
to the agriculturalists of the state.
The difficulty in solving problem
of this kind consists in the many
conflicting interests to be harmon
ICED. All the bills recognize the
principle that priority Of use gives
priority in right, regardless of filing.
but how this feature is to be carried
out is where friction will come. The
Ballentine and Gum bills not only
recognize the rights of prior users
of water, but also maintain that
such users shall have the water de-
livered at the head gates of their
bitches. The supposition is that
the New York bill also recognizes
this right, but wants to parcel the
water out at its own head gates
which is the highest upon the river
in dry seasons, regardless of
whether it all sinks before it reach
es the prior rights below or not.
(Not having seen the bill the above
is but a supposition)-
ANT1-CH1NEsE AND DAGos.
The house has been wrestling
this week with a bill, that if it car
ries, will prevent the employment
of persons not eligible to citizen
ship and persons who have not de-
clared their intention to become
citizens, upon any public works in
the state and for any corporation
doing business in the state. 1t has
met determined opposition. The
notwithstanding" bill is also
up for discussion and will pass the
house.
HIGH LICENSE.
The house committee have prun-
ed the high license bill considerably
but retain the principal features.
The committee report makes the
bill take affect on July 4th of thi.
year, and retains the license at
$500 per anum.

On the whole it could be wished
that there were more trotters and
trotter- breeders and fewer patrons of
that racing which has no other end
than the opportunity for extensive

be, as usual, in league with common

siasm of horsemen would turn more
generally to the advancing of the trot-
ters' interests.

TWO WAYS.
Points OF Differences between En glIsh
and American business Methods.

Points OF Differences Between En glIsh
and American business Methods.
had an amusing illustration the
other day OF the difference between
American and English ways OF doing
business, says a Brooklyn Eagle man.
One OF my friends a salesman as keen
as they make them. became the Amer
lean agent OF big English linen house.
His first move was to take the Ameri-
can branch from little side street in
TO a fashionable Broadway neighbor-
hood. AS there was good deal OF
expense involved in the new deal the
head OF the firm came over TO look on
and see how the American boomer
worked. The change involved fitting
up the new Office and a carpenter, rec
ommonded by the new agent was en-
gagged. He presented plans and stated
what days he would be at liberty to
do the work. The manufacturer APP
proved, but was not ready for the
work. Daily the carpenter appeared,
but the Englishman waived him aside.
Then the carpenter stopped coming.
Finally, when the Office was cramped
for want OF the new partition and
shelves, he sent out the Office boy in
"a great hurry with this message: Tell
Mr.. Smith. the carpenter, that Mr..
Cholmondely of England wants to
see him." Presently the boy came
back alone looking frightened.

great man. IL think not" the
boy replied. What did he sayP l

ished. the boy began: He said. he
said. Tell Mr.. Cholmondeley of Eng
land to go TO -" The manu-
facturer was furious of course. For a
time he threatened 10 have the car
penter arrested. But the agent as
sured him that if the story got out it
would hurt the business of the house,
and the carpenter went unrebuked.
At another time the agent had Occa-
sion TO walk through a business street
where the manufacturer had gone just
before him. An old English employee
Of the house was walking with the
agent. AS he saw the latter turn
down this street the Englishman
asked: Where are you going, Mr..
JONES'" Going through Franklin
street the agent replied. but Mr.
Cholmondeley has just turned down
there, the Englishman cried Whats
that got TO do with me?' Jones asked,
wondering. "Mr. Cholmondeley won't
like it, his companion explained

ALL who know the negro character

Sketch written by Him in 1870, and
Now First Published.
In 1882 while in Denver on a journ-
alistic mission, says writer in the
Phila- Press, / resolved TO pay a visit
to the humorist, who already had af-
forded me so many hours, in the ag-
gregate, of laughter and entertainments
To be sure, Laramie, Wyo.. whore he
then lived was 500 miles away, but
my curiosity regarding the man had
been aroused and my appreciation OF
his work made the distance seem short.
A product of that visit is the follow
ing little sketch, transcribed from the
original manuscript which he present
ed TO me. As was taking my leave
of him at Laramie he thrust long en-
velope into my hand and said: Here
is a manuscript sketch l wrote as far
back as 1870. | give it to you as a
proof that | was not always jester
with quill. Perhaps when you are
writing my obituary some time you
can use it.
And sure enough the pathetic and
pretty little sketch comes in conven-
iently now, though thank Heaven, l
am not writing Bill Nye's obituary.
Here it is;
Once, long time ago, i began to
write a poem. 1t was TO be perfect in
meter and in rhyme and so truthful in
sentiment that thousands of hearts
should throb and thrill TO its music.
/ began it with high hopes and chris
f1nAI ,rst ha of child
, But the work moved slowly and the
lines seemed very tame. so / returned
again and again to the child model for
inspiration and looked into the merry
eyes for help.
So it came to pass that very little
OF my time was devoted to the poem
and great deal was devoted 20 my
hero. No slave ever lived under a
more unlimited monarchy than | un-
der the reign Of pair of laughing
eyes and no true, loyal subject ever
bowed in meeker submission or blessed
his sweet bondage as ! did. with my
neck beneath the dimpled foot of my
conqueror.
Thus the summer came with the
wv lilholS VI NhO pSpOAAAihs viz
misty blue OF June mornings and the
evening concerts OF the sleepy voiced
crickets. The long. dreary days were
short to me, for 1 was under q spell,
and the wand of the enchanter was a
baby's tiny rattle. So l still dreamed
on of the poem that should crown this
summer vision with an ode TO my
king, the back of whose chubby hand
was my law.
But the poem is only half finished.
1t was broken off in the middle of a
sentence, and now it is growing yellow
beneath pair Of little scarlet and
white stockings. Those summer days
are locked in frozen sky; the roses
and the violets are covered by the
drifting snow. With the death OF the
year came the time for the waxen
hands TO be forever still--those hands
that hold my heartstrings in their
eternal stiffness; those hands that
seem to touch mo yet and take mo
back to that golden summer time when
/ was trying TO write my poem.
