vants OF the whole state, no. or any ar.icular
locality. am notin favor. during the present
hard times. OF placing any new state lnstitu-
t1' In position TO come here two years hence,
OF Eilendale didn't intend to erect Tho building
at tneirown expense or support the school,
Mr.. Brooke read from the constitution that
the provisions regarding the institution under
considera; Ion was mandatory Not dollar
was asked from the st.te. Until 1868 every
cent expended would come from the people Of
E!endale.
Mr. Burton didn't thiuk there was much
forco 20 that provision Of tho organic law The

na,;o, out DeHinn1ne. The next session would Le
condition 10 help new in>tituii ions. They had
land That would, before many years, be valuable
None OF these Institutions were an absolute me-
Gessity at present. Let them wait until 1875.
From present appearances he thought it would
he better If they mad to walt until tte;year 2OUU.
MI, Mr; ,, Richie didn't think he was throwing a
oomo shell into tho house when he introduced
the bill. All the Glendale people asked was
that laws be passed under which donations
might he received. They were not asking dol
lar from the state.
Mr.. Brooke said that, if the Glendale people
came IN the future asking aid rom the state,
thev certainly would not get it unless they had
done something to Justify receiving it. Re-
marks had been made about the asking of an
appropriation for the deaf and dumb school at
Devils Lake. That institution had large num-
ber OF pupils and was caring for them cheaper

alton was not being considered.

all tho institutions 1t could take care of while
times wero "a hard as Mt present.
MIR. oliver quoted: Sufficient unto the day Is
the evil thereof" though ho was not positive as
to the source Of the quotation. Let future ses-
sions be responsible for their own acts. He
wanted to amend 30 that no buildings can be
erected until the money Is subscribed. Not a
dollar can be donated by citizens under the
Ellendalc to go ahead and found at their own
expense, an institution that would be credit
to the state
Mr.. Kearney remarked that the gentleman
from Ransom had faculty OF convincing everS
body that what he 70 iver) thought TO be right
vas y, right. But this time he wouldn't have
IL that way 80 far as he was concerned. and he
would therefore move to indetnately postpone. !.
The motion was lost.
MIR. Burke said this was q case of much ado
about nothing The people OF Glendale asked
Tor no appropriation. Lot them go ahead IL
they wanted to.
After further remarks by gentlemen who had
already spoken, Mr.. Skinner took the floor and
tribute to Mr.. Oiver's oratorioai powers as
caused that youth to blush. Then he likened
the bili to an entering wedge which would
onsiaughts upon the commonwealth's stroug
box might ne made. The session began by
giving away school sections: and, * 1t hadn't
been FOR Tho attorney general, probably all the
scho" land would have been disposed OF by
this time. Hc concluded bv asserting that the
institution at Ellend lie was needed about as
