special to lHE TRIBUNE.
BOISE CITY, Feb. 6, 1S91.-Make
haste slowly seems to be the feel
ing in both houses of the legisla-
ture. Out of seventeen bills on
the calandar last week the House
disposed of five. The principal
cause of this seeming slow progress
was a three days. wrangle over the
Agricultural College bill. The bill,
as originally introduced, located
this institution at Lewiston, in Nez
Perez county. The first day all
the provisions of the BILL. except
the locating clause, were adopted.
The second day the Lewiston men
appeared in good numbers and
carried the locating clause through
the Committee of tie whole, but
the House adjourned before the
report was adopted. The next
morning. by a vote of 81 to 8, the
House again referred the bill to the
committee of the Whole, thus
leaving the matter in exactly the
same shape as before considera-
ton. Unless taken out Of its reg
ular order the bill will not be
reached before next week. The
following towns have entered their
claims for the location of the col.
lege, and each has strong lobby
on the ground: Lewiston, Weiser,
Payette, Emmett, Nampa, and
Boise City; while Mountain Home,
Blackfoot and Bellevue are likely
to be heard from before long. It
is practically impossible at this
writing to make any prediction
concerning the final action of the
Legislature on this subject, al
though the general impression
prevalent among the members is
that the College will be located
somewhere in the arid region COM
posed Of Gilmore, Logan, Ada and
Washington Counties.
THE IRRIGATION BILL
at last made its appearance from
the printers hands last .Wednes-
day. A synopsis of tho bill, such
as The TR1BuNE's columns would
afford, would not do the subject
justice. The bill is in four chap
tiers 40 follows.
l. Providing for the the appro-
priation and distribution of water;
the condemnation of lands for
canals, bitches, conducts and sites
for reservoirs; empowering the
Boards of County Commissioners
to establish maximum rate for
the use of water.
2. Providing for the appointment
of a State Engineer, and defining
his duties and regulating. the com.
pensation thereof and providing for
the enforcement of the orders of
the State Engineer.
3. Providing for the appoint
ment Of water commissioners and
deputy water commissi oners in the
various water districts, defining
their duties and fixing their COM
pensation.
4. Providing for the adjudica-
ton of the rights Of those appro.
priating, diverting, carrying or
storeing water for any beneficial or
useful purpose, in the several water
districts.

Governor Hills Courage.

The Republicans of New York are
furious because Gov. Hill is determined
that none of the Democrats elected to
the legislature of that State shall he
counted out of their seats. consequently
a clam"r is being raised to the effect
thath" Is trying to steal helegfslature.
Gov. Hill, however, is a man that en-
joys a Republican attack and the more
bitter it is the harder he fights, show
ing that he possesses that aggressive
COURAGE which appears 10 be lacking in
so many of the Democratic leaders
and on more than one occasion has
made ther1 the easy prey of that Re
publican party. If the backbone of
Samuel j.. Tilden had been made of
the same material as that Of Gov. Hill,
he would no have been cheated ont of
she presidency, and the Democratic
party would have been inspired to-day
with such a spirit of aggressiveness
that the Republicans would not have
dared, after being defeated, to steal
legislatures, governorships and seats
in the United States Senate. as they
have done IN recent years. Gov. HILL
has his faults as d politician, It is true,
and is not in favor with II large ele-
mrnt of his own PARTY owing to his
suspected ~treachery to Clevel nd in
the campaign Of 1888, but it must be
admitted that he is an earnest and
tearles. tighter and has a way Of floor
ing the Republicans when they tackle
him, which is simply charming Gov.
Hill has publicly declared that The
who were legally ell led

publlcans are trying to defraud OF
their seats. shall serve the people who
Ell cted them, and it IS safe t. say that
will see that they do. The Demo
patty IN the North would lie

David B. Hill to lead it, Sun. States.

Margaret NIntl,er.

The Roanoke public had a chance last
night to witness one of tho finest and
most artistic performances that has ever
been given in this city. Joan of Arc,
as presented by Margaret Mather and
her excellent company, once seen will
be always remembered. From the rise
of the curtain in tho first act to it's fall
in the last the enthusiasm Of tho audi
ence was kept at fever heat. Tho act
ing was superb and every one of the
characters was well sustained
Margaret Mather bids fair to fill the
place on the American stage made
vacant by Mary Anderson's retirement
Her rendition OF the difficult rolo of
Joan was truly magnificent. She was
not the conventional actress playing to
an audience, but she was the little
French heroine working and striving
for the freedom of hor loved country
She was ably supported by Skinner and
the other members OF the company.
The audience last night while large,
was not near as large as the perform
ance deserved. 1t is not often that tho
theatergoer, In a small city have tho
opportunity - witness such perform
ance as that given last night.
