The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-04-09
1t is over at last.

O'clock Of last Sunday night the senate
yesterday lat 4:a2% mountain time) adj
journed. without day. But yesterday
the senators stood the observed of all
observed; today everybody IS wonder
ing whether they will be candidates
for reelection. Yesterday they were
statesmen; today they are as other
men. Such is life.
The chamber which has known them
for ninety days will know them no
more-perhaps Gone are each several
persons to their homes. No longer
will the legislative halls reverberate
to the echoes OF the resonant voiced
Allison, moving that Emigration can
yon be removed to Ogden, in order
that it might have the semi-centennial
celebration, instead of Salt Lake city.
Never again will our own Booth state
has position from hence Candland
will tend his flocks on the Grampian
hills of Sanpete The voice of Cham
oers from Summit, will rise no more in
defense Of miners rights and the clear
cut tones of ChideSter will plead never
again for money to build bridges for
Wayne county so that the Blue valley
farmers can go to mill. From hence
forth Driscoll will tell the Eureka
miners all about it; Evans will dis
course no more on mullets and clubs;
Jones will, this side of the portals
which open into the great halls of the
senate above, make no more addresses.
This may sound little harsh on Jones,
but he said so himself. Bishop Mckay
will dwell over the memories of the
past three months as he yanks the off
horse into the furrow while Uncle
Zundel will aver many times that
farming isn't what it is cracked up to
be. Colonel Warrum will now draw
his sword, instead of 81 and mileage,
and will jerk Ieoalcitrant militiamen
to time; Glen Miller will return to his
Office and between insurance policies
or first mortgage loans will recall the
time when he advocated the protection
of newspaper reporters while his
namesake, Reuben Miller, will watch
the effect of his legislation on dogs
from the scenic shades of Carbon
county. The tall form of Warner will
be observed from hence in the courts
at Provo and it is rumored that Suther-
land will resume the practice of law
also. Down at ST. George, Snow will
resume the work he has been engaged
in for so long, and Mr.. President will
once more be seen chasing the frisky
eagle (On the silver dollar)
One couldn't think that an adjourn
ment such as yesterdays would affect
any one, but such Is not the case.
Friendships are formed in three
months constant association which are
stronger than one would imagine.
There wasn't a person there who did
not regret that the time for parting
had arrived. Jolly old Abner Cranes
eyes were moist as he shook hands
with everybody and wished them all
the success in life that it was possible
to attain. And the old sergeant-at-
arms, who has performed his duty so
We'll that everybody has had a kind
word for him, left the chamber with
the good wishes of everyone. Mrs.
Secretary, whose silvery voice has
made the reading Of many a dry old

The record of the senate would not
De complete without a mention of Miss
madison, the typewriter clerk There
never was more even dispositioned
woman on the face of this earth. Never
was there so much work that she did
not have time to do more; the members
never appealed to her in vain for as
slstance of any kind in the way of
writing; her services were ever at the
disposal of the members of the press,
who sometimes, in the rush of business
were at a loss to get time to COPY
documents. So long as the pens of
the people who reported the session
continue to chase the lines across the /
paper her services will be pleasantly |
remembered.
Yesterdays SESSION.
Yesterdays session wasn't as lively
as it might have been. There was not
much business to attend to; Just a
closing up of matters that was all.
House joint resolution Is, authoriz-
ing and directing the chief clerk of
the house and the secretary of the
senate to compile and certify to the
journals. and file the same in the Of
flee Of the secretary Of state, and di-
recting they be paid each $50 for the
work, came UP in the early hours Of
the morning. The resolution was killed,
after a short debate, by the follow
ing vote: Ayes, Sutherland, Miller, R.
G. Miller, Glen Miller, Booth. Cand-
land, Jones, Mckay, Zundel, Mr.. Presi-
dent, g.
Noes, Chidester, Wawum, Evans,
Snow and Warner, 5. The motion
lacked the number of votes to carry
the same into effect.
1t will be observed that the Demo-
Gratis present, with Chichester, defeated
the resolution, saving the state $120.
All that viii be necessary will be to
file certified copy Of the journal with
the secretary Of state. which can be
done in five minutes.
