The second session of the legisla

The second session of the legislative
assembly is drawing to a close. The
work is we'll along in both houses, and
senators and members 9 determined
that when the session closes all the
really meritorious bills shall have be-
come laws. While there has been the
usual clash of interests between repre-
sentatives of different sections, perhaps
less than is usual at Legislative sessions
have personal antagonisms been en-
gendered. A great many friendships
have been established, aud every one
has done his part to prevent the i'll
feeling that sometimes comes of dis
appointment at the failure of cherished
measures. In the character of it's legis-
lation this session will compare favor
ably with any of it's predecessors-terri-
torial or state-and there has been an
honest effort to do the very best that
could be done for the welfare of the
commonwealth.

WHEN tbs Great Northern picked up
w. E. Dodge and made him their legal
and political representative in Nor.h Da-
kota, it made no mistake. Dodge was
one of the leaders of the 1887 terrific
rial senate and stands we'll up to the
head of the North Dakota bar. He is a
good judge of human nature and, like
Colonel Irons, when he finds out just
what the legislature is trying to get at,
he is only too glad to furnish such as
s~istance as from the profundity of his
W legislative experience his sagacity
may suggest. Colonel Dodge is one of
the lobbyists whom the average legisla-
tor delights to have around. He is good
company, frank, doesn't look upon the
members as chumps, tells them what he
thinks is fair in regard to railroad mat
ters and, if they don't agree with him,
he simply pities and-forgives.

The Missouri slope has no reason to
be ashamed of its delegation in either
house. Alert at all times to serve the
interests of their section, while not for
getting that they are representatives of
a great state, they have again verified
the claim that the slope never breaks it's
promises or goes back on it's friends.
And to the front in all needed effort
have been the west country delegation
Senators McGillivray and Miller and
Representatives Farrah, Holritz and
McKendry. Their constituents, best
interests, and the interests of the slope
generally, as we'll of the state, have been
safe in their hands. They will 90 back
to their people with the consciousness of
duty faithfully performed.

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON being asked
for his opioion of living statesmen as
compared with those of other days
whose bronze statues the North Dakotan
was gazing at, said:
We'll, I'll tell you. A public man seldom
gets justice from his contemporaries. We
are continually stoning the living prophets
and building monuments in honor of the
dead ones. Political fights beget unreason-
able animosities and bitter hatreds. Until
the feelings thus engendered have time to
subside it is impossible to arrive at a just
appreciation of the talents, character or
achievements of a public mai. Like a
million or two of other disappointed poll
ticians l did not think this administration
amounted to very much or had real good
sense when they refused me a land Office in
'S9 and a judgeship in 80, but, for all that,
l am inclined to believe, aside from Lin
coins fame growing out of emancipation
and other consequences of a state of war,
and Grants prestige as a military hero,
that HarrisOn's ad ADMINISTRATION, as it recedes
into history, is likely to bear favorably a
comparison with any of Them"

Their Only Medicine Chest,

William W. B. Miller. Deerlodge, Mon
tana, writes:
81 have been using Brandreth's Pills for
the last thirteen years, and though | have
had nine children, | have never had a doc
Tor in the house except three times, when
we had scarlet fever, which we soon ban
ished by a vigorous use of Brandreth's
Pills. l have used them for myself, two or
three a night for a month for liver com
plant, dyspepsia and constipation. In
diarrhga, cramps, wind collie, Indigestion,
one or two Brandreth's Pills fixed the
children at once. A box of pills is all the
medicine chest we require in the house.
We use them for rheumatism, colds, ca
tarrh, %biliousness and impure blood. They
never, have failed to cur all the above
complaints in a very few years.

The payment by the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, during the last ten
days of February, Of nearly 100000 Of
personal taxes in this state shows a step
in the right d~irection-the payment of
railroad taxes without resort to courts.
The tax commissioner of that company
claims that he will pay the land taxes
before they become delinquent and the
payments already made indicate the
good faith of the company in this matter
and lead to the belief that the land taxes
will be paid as agreed, which is sincerely
to be hoped, as the treasury needs the
money,

The governor has completed his ap-
pointments and all have been speedily
confirmed. He has made few mistakes,
although, of course, roany bitter disap.
pointment. It would be impossible-out
of a list of fifty or sixty applicants for
the oil inspectorship, for instance-to
make one selection without disappoint-
ing all the rest, and the same is true of
all other positions. The curse of politics
is the patronage, and yet without the
patronage how uninteresting it would be.
That the governor has been imposed
upon in one or two instances is quite
likely, but that he has e%ndeavored to be
fair to all factions worthy of considera-
ton is evident.

SOMEBODY has been imposing on the
Mandan Pioneer, when it speaks slight
ingly of Mr.. Daniel, of the house. In
stead of being a "dude," as claimed by the
Pioneer, he is a sensible and painstaking
member Of the body to which he be-
longs. He is k~ind-hearted, courteous
and gentlemanly in every way, and
every man in the house likes HIM. Be-
sides, North Dakota constituencies are
not in the habit of electing dudes to
represent them. The Pioneer article
does Mr.. Daniel a rank injustice.

The sale of $4,000 worth of county

THE sale Of $4,000 worth of county
bonds to pay outstanding warrants draw
ing seven per cent interest and to refund
about $4,000 worth OF bonds drawing
ten per cent interest was a stroke of
financial policy that will be endorsed
very cordially by the tax payers. The
bonds sold are 6-2Os optional at the end
of ten years and sold for a slight premi-
um. This will place Burleigh county on
a cash basis, effect a saving of over
$4,000 a year in interest and from ten to
fifteen per cent. on all supplies purchased
by the county. Once on a cash basis
again it is not at all likely the people of
this county will wei again permit q
similar state of affairs to exist as has
existed during the past eight years. The
