About Having the Last Word.

A young girl once heard a bit of wisdom
from the lips of Il very aged woman-a wo-
man who had rounded the full term of 90
years, and with eyes still bright and clear
looked out upon the inrolling waters of
eternity. The girl was impressed by the
emphasis with which the venerable dame
said to her, "Bessie, never insist on having
the last word" The determination to haze
the final word leads to more quarrels and
more bitterness of feeling at home than al
most anything else in domestic life.
The fact is that one may so control her
tongue and her eyes that she may allow
her opponent the pleasure of this coveted
concluding thrust and yet placidly retain
her own opinion, and in the homely COLO
quail parlance of the up country, where one
finds strong willed people living together
in great peace with the most pronounced
diversity of characteristics, do as she's a
mind to.'-Harper's Bazaar.

REPRESENTATIVE McCANNA's railroad
bill, which, as introduced required all
railroads in the state to run daily trains
over each of their lines and branches on
every week day in the year, is just at
present the cynosure of the eyes of a
number of people living on branch lines,
who expect to be accommodated thereby.
The bill as passed and signed reads that
daily trains shall be run "when in the
opinion of the management the oper-
ating thereof will ray the running ex-
penses." OF course, if the roads do not
desire to run daily trains it will be their
opinion that 1.-THE operating does not de.
fray the running expenses" and the law
will be of exactly the same value as no
law at all. Settlers thus see their pros
poets of daily trains vanish, and the
howl which goes up is one which at
tracts a considerable attention-to Nc.
Canna-who got the bill through.

A Wrap For the Sickroom.

An invaluable wrap for a convalescent is
the nightingale house sack. It is easily
slipped on and over u nightdress and also
adjusts itself to fit the figure closely, afford
ing ample protection. The making of these
useful garments is a simple matter. Hem
the ends of ~ yards of elder down flannel
or French flannel; fold in half and take u
plat deep enough to form a pointed hood;
sew a bow here and strings in front to con-
nne 1T at the neck; fasten each end together
lor about two inches to make loose sleeves.
One seen recently was made of cream white
flannel, and pieces of old rose quilted silk
mad been laid over neck and sleeves to form
a broad collar and cuff effect. This treat
ment' however, is not necessary, the gar
ment being quite complete without IT.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, IA $ 1898
ton & of article l of the constitution Of the
state and in violation of section Is of said

ton & of article l of the constitution Of the
article l.
II is understood that Attorney
STEVENSON has taken this case for a fee
contingent upon his ability to knock out
prohibition in this state. The action is
brought in such a name that it may be
appealed to the federal court, should the
decision Of the state court be against the
petitioner. Several points are raised
against the constitutlonality of the pro-
hibition law and article 20 Of the state
constitution, but not a single new one
is brought forth. When sifted down the
main point is that said article 20 of the
constitution did not receive q majority
Of all the votes cast at the election held
for the adoption Of the constitution
that q majority Of those cast for or
against said article 20 itself was not suf-
fcent. The point is week. It is an es-
tablished rule that in the absence Of
special provision, a majority Of a quorum
in any deliberative assemblage consti-
tutes a working body and a majority Of
the votes cast for and against any
proposition at any general or special
election governs and determines the
result.

The Devils Lake News grows sarcastic
upon the blind pig question. 1t says:
The individuals directly Interested in
this city prefer paying 1925 every six
months to the city treasury, to paying
$500 "once for all' to that Crookston at
torney who wants to test the state pro-
hibition law on a newly discovered fatal
defect therein. The guaranty from the
present city administration which is un.
derstood to be under the influence of the
w. @. T. u, is worth more to the average
blind pigger than the opinion of the
Crookston attorney is. Common sense
should be the guide in these cases and
the blind pigger has enough of that
commodity to influence him to patronize
home opinion and social and official
respect.

ON the supreme court calendar for
the coming term there are eighteen
cases. AS is usual with cases appealed,
most of them will be dry to the ordinary
person, as is the mere discussion of any
point of law, no matter how fine. But
three of the cases will be watched with
a considerable interest. There is the
McGahey case, which comes up from
Grand Forks county, and in which Nc
Gahey's freedom is involved; then there
is the Yorke case, which involves the
validity of the captains divorce from
bis first wife, and, consequently, the
legality Of his marriage to the Countess
Zychlinski. And last but not least is
the p%enitentiary case, which, of course,
ls OF general interest, but which will be
followed more closely by residents of
Bismarck, where all Of the parties to the
cause are so we'll known.

NoRMANDEN, the Scandinavian organ
of'the North Dakota populiste, has, &C.
cording to the Grand Forks News, been
sold to a combination of republicans,
among whom are :Arne p. Haugen and
Congressman johnson for $4,000.
Under Foss' contract with the new
owners, he is to remain for a time az
editor, and to be at liberty to advocate
the principles Of the independent party.
1t is hardly likely, though, that one 80
radical as Foss will be allowed to re-.
main long, under the management of
johnson and Haugeu, unless those
gentlemen have experienced a startling
change in political beliefs.

A veil wonderfully enhances n beautiful

And our girls manage it with as much skill

raises it to touch her thread lace toy hand

little nosie wosic. It's IL cute. cunning mo-
ton and shows off a small, we'll gloved hand
to advantage. Women just dotc ON wells.
And 9 black dotted veil or one of thin
thread with small mcshes does the most
execution when Il pretty face and irresistible
eyes are beneath it. The heavy thread veil

A Game For an Evening.

Il Love My Love With an A" is a new
game, and all the fun depends upon it's be.
ing Kept ul briskly. Any player who re-
quires time to think should be called off.
one begins: II love my love with an A be-
cause he is able. l hate him with an A be-
cause he is abject. He took me to the sign
OF the 'Antic' and treated me to a~rtichokes
and a%bsinthe." The next continues: II
love my love with a B because he is bank
rupt. l hate him with a b because he is
BALD. he Took me to the sign of the Bach

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has had an.
other accident. This time it happened
as he was getting into a carriage at
New York, and it resulted in a bruised
and abraded forehead, and the
shedding of a considerable amount of
blood. First there was the accident to
his thumb at Buzzard's Bay, and then
this last one, and the fortune teller who
predicted his death before the end Of his
second term, is probably rubbing his
haads gleefully together, in anticipation
of the RELAXATION of his prediction.

The attorney general has decided that

county superintendent of public schools,
and appointments been made to fill the
vacancies, that the appointments hold

be elected by the people, and that

should specify that the people are to

tendent of public schools.

judges, and the act is not unconstitu.
tional. While the constitution fixes the
salary at $4,000, this, in the opinion of
the attorney general is merely to cove
the period between the enactment Of the
constitution. and the assembly of the
legislature thereafter which shall fix
their salaries. The constitution, when
it provides for the salaries has the
phrase, until otherwise provided" and
this, according to the attorney general,
implies authority to the Legislature to fix
the salaries, either at a greater or smaller
sum than fixed by the constitution.

Saturday, thu stA Day Of May, 1893,
WHAT Is THE USE

Just why, in the light of what was
said at the trial Of the mandamus case
against Auditor Porter, the Grand
Forks News should come out with q
double loaded telegram () from Bis
marck, beginning, "the outrage has been
perpetrated, and the old penitentiary
gang at Bismarck has won first blood, >
and then go on to say that the Judge
had been influenced in his decision by
the officers who at present control the
p%enitentiary, the TRIBUNE cannot see.
The News says:
While the decision of the court is said to
be but pro forma upon which to base an
appeal to the supreme court it is clear that
the gang had a friend on the bench. The
attorney general promptly gave notice of
appeal to the supreme court and the case
vii! pc argued again before that tribunal
On May 4th.
We're the News in possession of the
facts in the case, it is hardly prob
able it would publish an article
such as appears in its columns. When
the case vas heard last Tuesday, the
Judge stated plainly that he had not
looked up carefully the law in and the
opinions bearing upon the case.
And for this reason, he said
it would be impossible for him to
render a decision upon the day of the
hearing. Whereupon, both Attorney
General Standish and General Hughes
agreed to a pro forma decision,
merely upon which to base an ap-
peal. 1t was immaterial in which
way the decision was rendered. An
appeal was unavoidable, the decision
merely governing by which side it should
be made. Mr.. Standish admitted that
the greater number of the decisions he
had looked up sustained the position
taken by the followers. He said he was
willing to have the case decided in their
favor. All he wished was a decision, it
mattered not to him for which side. And
the judge rendered his decision under
these circumstances.
Is there any "gangism" or prejudice
in this? AS the matter had to come be-
fore the supreme court, and as to come
before the supreme court it must come
before a lower court and be passed upon
first, both sides merely wanted a de-
cision. There was nothing at stake.
The decision of the lower court, no
matter what it might have been, would
have had absolutely no bearing on the
case. The News makes q mountain out
of a mole hill.

The ruling Of the supreme court in the
Yorke case, wherein it was decided that
the bond was imperfe 1t, in that the justi-
fcation did not set forth that bonds
men were worth a certain sum over and
above exemptions, etc., in property
situate in the state of North Dakota" a
very important one as none of the bonds
heretofore accepted and none of the
blanks used therefor contain this pro-
vision. The point has never been raised
in this state before.

The PROHIBITION LAW.

The incarceration Of one Larrabee in
tho Cass county jail-convicted under
the provisions OF the prohibition law OF
this state-gives the opportunity desired
by Attorney STEVENSON, the representa-.
tive of the anti-prohibitionists, to get
before the supreme court on an applica.
ton for habeas corpus, the petition fol
which sets forth the grounds upon
which the ants hope to annul the pro.
bibition law and the prohibition article
in the state constitution. Briefly the
points raised in the petition are as fol.
lows:
First-Charge doesn't state facts suf
fcient to constitute a public Otfense.
Sec0nd-That article 20 of the state con-
stitution and the act based thereon-the
that the same were never adopted or rati.
fed by a majority Of the electors of the
state, and that the prohibition law
chapter ITO, laws of 1890, was never passed
by any legislature legally or authorized by
the constitution.
1T Th hi a. hs.;s said 4 chapter ITO, independ.
void for reason that there is not embraced
in the title thereof any object to prohibit
the manufacture and disposition of intoxi.
eating liquors, but to prescribe penalties
for the unlawful manufacture, or sale
thereof, and the same does not define OF
create an Offense.
Fourth-Imperfect title. Embraces more
than M subject.
Fifth-Sets forth fact of two subjects in
the title, contrary to constitution.

reason that it is in conflict with article s Of
the amendments to the constitution Of

In the controversy that is going on in
relation to the alleged %informality or
incompleteness of certain bills when pre-.
sented to the governor at the close of
the last session of the legislature there
is exhibited an utter disregard of fair.
8 and absence of rational reasoning.
1t 10 claimed that certain bills we're pre-.
sented to the governor minus the sigma.
ture of the lieutenant governor, notwith.
standing the fact that the senate journal
and the record of Mr.. Haugan, chairman
OF the senate enrolling committee, show
that the signature Of the lieutenant gov
ernor was attached. Anyone who knows
anything about Legislative procedure
will understand how easily an uninten-
tional mistake might be made in this
matter. In the last days of a legislative
session there is great confusion and rush
and sometimes as many az twenty and
thirty bills are presented to the lieuten-
ant governor at n time for his siRna-
ture. He announces that "he is about
to sign bills numbered 80 and &c." call.
ing of the numbers. The secretary of
the senate and the chairman Of the en-
rollment committee each make entries
in their records Of the signing as an
nounced. Usually the chairman of the
enrolment committee sits beside the
lieutenant governor while he attaches
his signature to the bills and hands them
to him to sign. In the meantime the
regular proceedings of tho senate, or
house as the case may be, are going on
requiring the frequent attention of the
presiding officer. Is it strange that a
mistake should occur or an omission
made occasionally? Notwithstanding
the record to the contrary the TRIBUNE
is satisfied that the bills in question
we're not signed by the presiding officer
but it was merely a blameless mistake
and one likely to occur at any time
