capitol gates and deposited the repre-
sentative lights of North Dakota for the
second days session of the Legislature,
called by Governor Burke for special
matters outlined in preceding issues of
the TRIBUNE. It was 2 o'clock when
Speaker Aliens gavel sounded a
familiar tattoo, and the body was
brought to order for the transaction of
such business as might legally come be-
fore it.
Mr.. OLIVER moved that the reading
of the journal be dispensed with, and
the chairman appoint a committee to re-
port on same tomorrow.
MI. EBBIGHAUSER moved to ex-
punge resolution relating to state
finance introduced by him the previous
day.
The chair appointed as journal COM
mittee, Messrs. Strom, Lutz and Brown.
Mr.. STROM introduced a protest from
Trail county farmers against any ad-
ditional appropriation for the Worlds
Fair.
Mr.. GILL presented a petition from
Cass county's Women's Christian Tenn
perance union against the Worlds Fair
being opened or Sunday.
On motion of Mr.. Oliver the house
went into the committee of the whole
with MI. Brooke in the chair.
In the committee of the whole, house
bill No. 1 was considered and urged to
passage by Mr.. Oliver. Mr.. Fay of Nc
Intosh, wished to substitute house bill
No. 4 in lieu thereof. MI. Oliver said
house bill No. l had been prepared
by the codification board after a careful
examination of several other state laws.
. The motion to substitute house bill
No. 4 for house bill No. l was lost, and
when the committee of the whole arose
it recommended house bill No. l do
pass.
Mr.. STROM moved that when the
committee rise, that house bill No. 2 be
recommended for passage.
House bill No. 3, a bill to amend the
revenue laws, was on motion of Mr.. Gill
placed upon its final passage. MI. Fay
and Mr.. Burke gave opinions as attor-
neys that the law as amended would be
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Lutz said he thought Mr.. Gill had
been unfortunate in his attempt to save
the state $4,000 per annum at the ex-
pense of $1,000 per day. He also
thought a great saving could have been
made through our state militia laws.
He moved that when the committee rise
they recommend the bill do not pass.
Mr.. Gill defended his measure on the
ground that his bill did not take up
any time that would not have been
otherwise wasted. The legislature must
remain in session three days. On a ris-
ing vote the motion of Mr.. Lutz was lost.
The bill finally went to the attorney
general, on the motion of Mr.. Burke, for
an opinion as to its constitutionality.
After some discussion house bill No. 4
was likewise referred to the attorney
general.

ment to house bill Nc. 2, which amend
ment was adopted and bill passed by a
vote of so to 2.

unconstitutional by Mr.. Fay and Mr..
Burke, and was referred to the attorney
general for his opinion. Which opinion
was that the bill was legal. The bill
was read the third time, and will be
further considered to-day.
House bills Nos. 5 and 6 were passed
without opposition.

militia do not hold an encampment in
1892.
Mr.. White said all state money appro.
pr1ated last season had been spent, but
that $4,000 could be acquired from the
general government for encampment
purposes.
Mr.. Brown, the old wal horse of Grand
Forks, took the floor for the soldier boys
and made a grand speech in behalf of
the militia, defending the boys who look
to the colonel for support in the legisla-
tive halls.
Mr.. Oliver said that the senator from
across the Big Muddy was the man that
introduced the bill to not appropriate
anything for the militia in the past, and
inside o twelve months come over to see
the governor in the night to get him to
have the militia take care of some unruly
