Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-03-17

Mr.. JOHNSON has returned to the state,
and will doubtless put in much of'his
time explaining how he didn't help 70
secure the election of a republican to the
United States senate. It is to be feared
that Mr.. johnson has become so accus-
toned to thinking of himself and:.of his
personal and political interests and dis.
appointments that he had little time to
think OF the interests of the party. There
is no good reason why Nh. Casey should
not have been as agreeable to MI. John
son as any other citizen Of North Dakota,
it it was the will, of. representatives of
the people to return'him. Having chosen
MI. johnson to represent them'in ono
branch it was none of his affair who they
chose to represent them in the other.
He had no right to conspire or contrive
for the defeat or the election of any n
or to look upon the selection of any one
as q menace The course he took led
to disorganization, and disorganization
brought disaster to the party in the state
n nation. OF course he looks upon
himself as a good republican, and upon
all others who critlcise him or his course
and being in the wrong, but then that is
characteristic of those who become in
their own estimation greater and better
than their fellows. Great-minded people
see their own faults as well as those of
their fellow men. Mr. johnson doesn't
see his.

THERE is some talk throughout the
state of a special session of the legisla-
ture to pass Kinter's lplatform bill with
a view to forcing an open, market. The
stealing of this bill, by ::whoeversdone,
was a dastardly thing and the notoriety
that the deed, and the man who did it or
was responsible for it, wouldl gain
through calling an extra session, would
almost justify the expense. The:quicker
the people learn that such things NAV
happen, and take the steps necessary to
stop such practices, the better. If there
is no adequate law to punish such things,
there ought to be. The governor ought
to make a tab of this and prepare a rich
brown roast for his next message on this
subject. while the incident is fresh. ..And
while he is about it he might call atten-
ton to the fact that the chairmen of the
various committees made way with
nearly $50. bills which were never re-.
ported back. It will be good campaign
staff to give the titles of these bills and
who received them. It is conceded to be
bad to steal a billiafter it is ready for
the signature of the governor. It is
more dangerous, even, to allow the chair
mar OF a committee to hold a bill back
until there is no time for it's roper con-
slderation, or to pocket it, as was done
with some excellent.smeasures.

HE %penitentiary board met yesterday,
and like the agricultural board which
met at Fargo the day before, refused to
recognize the appointment of directors
in place'of those whose terms it was
claimed expired under the operation of
the law providing for their appointment,
the senate having failed to confirm the
appointments. The law under which
the appointments were made is Chapter
81, laws of 1889. 1t provided that ut that
session of the legislature the governor
should appoint, by and with h e::consent
OF the senate, five trustees iiof each of
the public institutions of the then terri.
tory, two of whom should be appointed
for two years and three for four years,
and until their %successorsl were ap-
pointed and qualified. It wa provided
that the governor should fill vacancies
by appointment, the appointees holding
till the close Of the next legislative as.
sembly. Section 1885 compiled laws of
1887, provides that every office shall be-
come vacant "before the expiration of
the term" on the happening of either of
the following events: Death, resigua.
ton, removal from office, failure to
qualify, ceasing to be a resident of the
state, conviction of crime, judgment for
breach of official bond. The constitu-
ton, section 70, provides that when n
Office from any cause becomes vacant
and no mode is provided by the consti-
tuition or law for filling such vacancy,
the governor shall have power to fill
such vacancy by appointment.
The contention on the one hand is
that there is no vacancy as the law pro-
vides that the old incumbents shall hold
until their successors are appointed and
qualified, and they q not be qualified
except az they are confirmed by the
senate. It is claimed that the legislature
has specially provided for the vacancies.
1t was it's intention the governor should
fill and has specially provided for
vacancies which would otherwise occur
by reason of expiration of the term, by
providing that the old officers shall con.
tinue to exercise the duties and functions
of the Office. That the failure or ne.
glect to appoint q successor in the
manner provided by Law, viz: "With the
advice and consent Of the senate does
not create q vacancy which the governor
has authority to fill. It ia claimed there
are numerous decisions based on
statutes similar to ours which sustain
the position stated. A California de.
cision seems to be almost conclusive and
t is based on q case like the one in
point. The governors appointees simply
don't see it in this light.
Under advice Of competent counsel the
old officers assumed to act aud with
Robinson and Lamont adjourned till
April 4. Showers was with the new
officers and organized the new board as
stated elsewhere.

fairly capped when a republican paper
prints an undetermined thrust like the
above at senators who, as every person
then present knows, thwarted on Friday
night, as fragrant an attempt at flllbus-
tering as was ever %perpetrated in that or
any other legislative body.

THE Mandan Pioneer, with an appeal
for fairness, which, coming from 1t, is
truly touching, protests against the
TR1BuNE's statement that there was a
lobby of cattlemen in Bismarck during
the last few days of the legislature, op-
posing senate bill No. 10, increasing the
boundaries of Stark county. ssThe
Pioneer says:
The readers of the Tribune would gather
from its COLUMNS that all the cattlemen
that were there wanted the bill defeated,
and the good people wanted it sustained.
The fact is that there was no lobby of
cattlemen against the bill. OF the owners
OF cattle living west of the Missouri, most
OF those who were at Bismarck wanted to
see the Dill sustained--signed by the gov
The TRIBUNE stated the facts in the
case when it said that there we're cattle.
men in the city working against the bill.
The Pioneer knows that the only CATTLE
men in the western part of the state
whose interests ire great enough to
dignity them with the name, reside in
unOrganlzed territory, and when it states
that they were not combined in oppos-
ing the bill, it states what is not true,
whether ignorant or purpoesly it rests
with the Pioneer to say, The TRIBUNE
believes Governor Shortridge did right
in vetoing the measure; believes the
cattlemen had and undeniable right to
labor toward this end, in fact they would
have been regardless If their own inter-
este had they not done 80, and it also be-
lieves they worked honestly and unre-
mittingly. But the editor of the Pioneer
IN his intense eagerness to cut down the
fees Of the clerks OF court, and to assail,
causelessly, the one who cares for court
records in Burleigh county, has failed to
post himself as to facts in the case.

PLACES FOR DEMOCRATS.

United States senate besides the eenR.
tors, clerks and numerous temporary
clerks, messengers, folders and laborers,
during the session. The salaries range
from $72O per annum up to $1,000, and
some ven higher. Now that the senate
force is to be ~reorgapized, there ought
to be at least twenty-five good places
found for ambitious North Dakota dem
ccrats IN the senate, alone. Roach be-
ing an old Washingtonian, ought to find
soft snaps that the ordinary country
politician would not get on to. In the
house there are 800 regular employees, be.
sides numerous temporary clerks, mes
sengers, folders and laoorers employed
during the session. The house. being
democratic, MI. Roach ought to have a
pull there, too. There are twenty.six
capitol police, twenty-seven employees in
the congressional library, 296 regular
employees about the capitol grounds, and
many extras employed from time to
time. These places run from 5000 per
annum up, and the softer the job the
better the pay, usually. In the govern
ment printing Office there are over 1900
c%ompositors, besides hundreds of others.
The compositors get 40 cents an hour;
the work is eight hours, and thirty days
leave on fnll pay, every year.
Add to these the army of employees
about the state, war, navy, interior,
agriculture, postofice and depart
ments, and the lev senator and his
clerk, if they pay strict attention to
Office getting, will find enough to do to
occupy their spare time, at least sixteen
out Of every twenty-four hours, on
Washington appointments alone.
The civil service protects q large class
Of employees of the government, but there
are 100, outside Of the classified list and
vacancies can be made hare at the sweet
will Of the president or the heads of
departments, and from this outlook one
would think that all q North Dakota
democrat has to do is to ask and he
shall receive, and if he asks and secures
not, it is because he asks amiss.
OF course there are two sides to the
question. Every time an officer or en-
ploye is removed before his time is up,
unless for cause, 1t takes more time to
hear the protests and give respectful
attention to the kicks made, than it did
to make the change in the first place.
Take a change in the postofice at Bis
marck, for instance. There will probably
be a dozen applicants for the place.
The papers sent in by each applicant
must be briefed and arranged and the
referee for that class Of appointments
called upon for his recommendation.
The appointment is made in due time
and notice with blank bonds sent out.
These are returned with the chances
that they must come back for correction
because Of some technical error. The
commission is finally issued but there has
been at least two weeks work in one
way and another put in one case, and
two weeks on each of several thousand
cases means much business-too much
to do until it becomes necessary to do it.

ANOTHER Of the bills passed by the
late session of the assembly is being
made the subject of much animated dis
c%ussion, although it does not belong in
the list of "lost, strayed or stolen" 1t
is H. B. No. 4. which provides for the
placing of state funds in banks to be
designated as the repositories thereof.
The bill had a rather curious experience.
Having been passed by the house and
transmitted to the senate, the commit
tee to whom it vas there referred re-
ported in favor of its passage with GER
tain amendments. When this report
was made a democratic senator opposed
its adoption, but did not press his objec-
ton. 1t seems that when the bill came
up for its third reading and final pas
sage, the report of the committee had
strayed away from the bill andi the
amendments were not incorporated in
the measure as it passed that body.
While the journal of the day previous
showed that the committee report in
favor OF certain amendments had been
adopted, as a matter of fact the bill did
not 40 pass, and was messaged back
to the house as having passed
unchanged. The house enrolling
clerk haviog before him the
senate journal which recorded the adop.
ton of the committee report recon-.
'mending amendments, assumed that the
bill had been passed as recommended
by the committee, and accordingly en-
rolled the bill with these amendments.
Discovering later, that no action mad
been taken on the amendments, but
that the senate had passed the bill un
changed, he enrolled the original bill, as
was proper, and tore in two and threw
away the amended copy. The correctly
enrolled bill was the one sent to the
governor.

MMen and Women. -,


"Men and Women" is characteristic
cally DeMille and Belasco play. 1t is
constructed on much the same lines as
''The Wife," and although not the equal
of the latter, it is a great success. The
story of the play is interesting and con-
sistent, romantic in the main, yet force
fully presenting wholesome moral in
it's illustrations of the social and moral
dangers arising from the fever of specu-
lation, and emphasizing the fact that
woman's devotion to man is lasting,
The company which Mr. Frohman
brought here was the best seen in the
Jacques this season, and numbered
among it's players many familiar faces.
The costumes were designed especially
for this production, and the perform
ance throughout was thoroughly en-
joyed by the large and critical audience.

Three young men, hailing from Wa
terbury, arrived here last evening to at
tend the Beach-Harvey pool match at
the opera house, says the Meriden Re-
publican, and they carried good luck
with them, until after the match, when
they went to Clark's stables to get their
team. When they called for the team
they were told that a party had just
called for it. They were beginning to
feel rather indignant about the matter,
when the owner of the team made his
appearance with two police officers. 1t
seems that they hired the team from q
Waterbury liveryman, and told him
that they were only going as far as
Naugatuck, distance of six miles from
that city, and the owner of the team
heard that they were headed for Meri'
den and started after them. There is 9
heavy fine imposed for such actions, but
the owner of the team said that he
would let them off for $40, but green
backs were scarce just at that time with
| them, and they promised to pay in 9
few days. The liveryman took the
team back without them, and the young
men had to wait in this city until this
morning, when they took the train fol
