The nearer we come to spring the
more snow, and the last storm and
blizzard made more mischief and
trouble in filing up and banking np
than all the rest Of the winter put to-.
getlier. Ira Hicks said it would be so,
and SO 1t is, and he also gives warning
to all who live near running streams
and low places to take precaution
against flood and mud this spring more
than last spring.

There is just one kick we have to
make on Governor Shortridge and
that is for his signing the bill for
$50, 900 to build an addition to the
capitol at Bismarck. If there is a
jumping off place on this earth it is
at Bismarck. There are just sixty
days every two years that there is
any life at all in the place and that is
when the legislature is in session, and
even then outside the Sheridan hotel,
the place seems like Sunday. You
can notice empty stores going to
ruin all along the main street, and
fine residences empty all over the
city, relics of the boom days. The
Capitol is an lily constructed build.
ing and white elephant to the state.
1t is located right on the outside of
civilization and takes from two to
three days to get to it from Coopers-
town. 1t is said the Northern Paci-
fic is going to run its trains right
through Bismarck without stopping
unless tagged. The capitol should
be located nearer the center, say at
jamestown or Cooperstown, where
there are few people living at least,
but we think it is waste Of money
to add any more buildings or i'm
provements at the present location.
Nearly any Of our enterprising cities
would donate the land and buildings
for the permanent location of the
capitol at some desirable place. We
think the governor made mistake
in signing this bill.

railroad talk is that the Great
Northern through trains would be
run over the line as it would cut off
a great many miles from the route
now taken by way of Devils Lake
and Grand Forks. Casselton is to
be made more important point
than at present, and there are also
rumers that the Northern Pacific will
extend its Cooperstown line almost
directly north into the rich lands of
western Walsh and Cavalier counties
but the condition of the companies
securities do not warrant the belief
that any important extention or inn
provements will be undertaken this
year. 1t is also believed that the
Bismarck branch of the 500 will not
be completed this year.-Jamestown

Never Do Wrong.
ByJ. 8. and W. ID.

Il was on the 24th of March ut our country ball
The broncho man got left to the surprise Of
them all,
In rtepr the Havelock man with the belle Of the
valley.
And around the room they went light footed
Supper time arrived aud great plans they did
contrive, ~
And this Young damsel go young and 30 gay
Got up her spunk and from the table ran away
CHORUS:
1ou may call mo QuiZe, you may call me ,,ry
But don " like things that look queer to the eve
So II you like this it's nothing to me,
This is thing that don't like to see.
Our Buffalo Pitts number two,
he had something for 20 do;
And 20 with the belle he cut a swell,
lie thonght every thing was running we'll,
But at last she no more with him would dwell
When the dance it broke there happened quite a
joke A
When brave and daring lad and great conccit
he had:
He took herby the hand and started overland.
But along came the broncho man.
And he was too generous for them to pass
So he took pity on this young lad and lass
50 he took them in and drove them to her door,
And we think he will never see her more.
MORAL:
Come all you pretty maidens,
A warning take by me,
And never slight IL farmer. boy in any degree
For sure As you do
They will pull your celors down,
And they will pli go back on you. Us.

WASHINGTON LET
TER.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20, 1893.
A secret conference of democratic
senator's was held at the residence of
one of their number within the last
forty. eight hours and it may prove the
first step towards war between the
president and the senate as bitter and
relentless as that which was q part of
Andrew Johnson's administration, The
most notable thing about the secret
conference was the absence of such pro.
nonnced opponents of the administra-
ton as senator's Hill, Murphy ana Pugh.
Although absent, these senator's are in
sympathy with the objects of the cor
ference, and it is believed that they
kept away purposely, in order that Ger
tain senator's disposed to be eonse:va.
tive might be induced to attend. What
was stated to have been the immediate
cause Of the calling of the conference
was the notice served upon senator's by
Mr.. Cleveland that he reserved the
right to "turn down" applicants for Of
flee even when they were endorsed by
both senators and the entire state dele
CATION in the house. In other words,
that congressional influence would not
count unless the bearer of it was other
wise satisfactory to the appointing
power That was the last straw. "This
man intends to humilitate us and to
break down our power at homo," said
indignant democratic senator's to each
ether, "aud unless we intend to retire
at the end of our terms we must fight.
Nothing definite was determined ut the
conference, which was held fer free
interchange of opinion as to what ought
to be done, but majority favored
sending MIR. Cleveland word in unmis-
taxable language that unless he would
agree to allow the senator's to exercise
their old time privilege of controlling
when acting in concert with the repre-.
sentative from their states, the feder-
al patronage of their respective states,
they proposed TO make war OH HIM by
rejecting his nominations to office. AL.
though no formal resolution to that
effect was adopted by the conference,
the talk of those whe took part-about
twenty senaters-has bsen fully reported
to Mr.. Cleveland, and the few who are ;

charming account of these favorites

An-FOOlS Day.

From time long beyond the mem.
ory OF the 'oldcst inhabitaat," tho first
day of April has been deemed to give
license for practical jokes to IN y extent.
In the middle ages and down to the lat.
ter part of the eighteenth century, the
peasantry of Europe celebrated All
Fools Day by gathering in some church
choosing u bishop or archbishop, or
pope of fools, and performing such
burlesqucs on religious ceremonies as
would now be Thought highly improper
if not saeril 'gious. 1t is said there is n
fool born into the world overy minute.
and the literature of all centuries is
sprinklcd with illusions to them. Car.
lyle said that the population of Great
Britain was thirty million people,
"mostly FOOLS" This was dyspepsia
run mad-but almost all persons are
foolish about some things. Sometimes
it does Not make any important differ.

is fatal to he foolish or fooled-and ene
of these is the selection of q railroad

for it goes ever; where and has the

The administration is trying to be
very mysterious about its policy to-
wards Hawaii, but it can be stated on
good authority that it has had two sep.
arate and distinct policies within II
week The first of last week eX. Con-
gressman Blount, of Georgia, who
while he was chairman of the house
committee on foreign affairs WAS an
outspokcn opponent of annexation,
was started for Hawaii with authority
aad instructions to repudiatc the pro-
tcctorate established by Minister
Stevens and to haul down the American
flag, in order to see whether the pro
vislonal government was strong enough
to stand alone while negotiating with
this government. Later information
WAS received by the administration to
the effect that Great Brtian's officials
were prepared the moment the protect
ion of the United States was officially
withdrawn to restore the disposed
Queen to the throne under British
IprOtcctorate. A cnbinst meeting was
ut once called and its members made
the fact very plain to the president that
If he allow ed Great Britain to get peac.
able control of Hawaii, his administra.
ton would be denounced from the At.
lantic to the Pacific for such an um-
American policy, So an entire set of
new instructions were prepared and
sent by telegraph to intercept Mr..
Blount ut San Francisco. In these new
instructions he was told to recognize
the existing protectorate, while he
scours Hawaii for reasons against an.
ncxation. As he sails from San Fran.
cisco today or tomorrow his intructions
cannot again DC changed even if the al.
mluistration should take another
somersault.
