Murdoch, Nebel1er of Salt Lake, Mr..
AIonson and various others paid their
respects, as the representatives OF the
farming communities to the gentle
men Of the legal fraternity, whom they
charged with always being in opposi-
ton TO any measure intended to bene-
fit the rural districts. They We're in
turn piled with pertinent questions
by MeSsrs. C~itchlow, Nye and other
Blacksoniazl disciples.
The day was largely consumed in
these controversies which were almost
wholly drawn on lines of the city in
opposition to the county, at least that
was the way the country members
looked at it and accordingly went in
for defending their rights.
The feature of the day was a debate
on M. CATERS bill authorizing the
trustees OF the Agricultural college to
hold farmers institutes throughout the
state. It was on this bill that the
lines between the city and country
were most severely drawn, although it
did not appear that the city members
had any intention of precipitating such
a condition. It simply happier ed that
the city members looked at the bill as
class legislation and opposed the bill
on that ground and that the state
ought TO be compelled to bear ithe ex-
pense. The debate was at all times
spirited and sometimes grew heated,
resulting in the bill which came up
for third reading and final passage,
being recomnlitted 20 the committee
from which it had been reported to
the house.
II Senator Allison could have fore
told at the time he was preparing his
famous Bayard memorial what an OBJ
he was creating, he would doubtless
have couched the document in a little
less lUdicrouSly bombastio language
for it has been made the butt Of ridi-
Guile for members of both parties since

ed to an untmely grave by being in
trustees to the safe keeping of AquiIla
Nebeker. Scarcely a day goes by in
which the house is not thrown into a

quotation from its high sounding
phrases
Yesterday it was Mr.. Mansfield who
made use of its closing injunction to
congress to recall Mr.. Bayard, to very
much discOmf1t a member, Mr.. Clark,
who took issue with an approximation
provision of a bill which the former
gentleman advocated. It was during
the debate on the farmers institute
bin that Mr.. Clark moved to reduce
the appropriation. Mr.. Mansfield got
up in arms at such a motion emenat-
ing from the representative of a farm
ing constituency, and said he thought
the gentleman was fit subject to be
recalled and taught anew the grand
eur OF American institutions" Of Iron
county.
A joint resolution was introduced in
the house looking to the holding of a
neer day in 1897.
But one bill was passed bv the
house. It was H. B No. 90. giving
county clerks power to hear testimony

The speaker ruled the motion out Of

the reaolng OF the resolution was dis
pensed with. Mr.. CritehIow then re-
newed his motion. Mr. Monson was on
his feet at once. He held that the
minutes would be incomplete without
the full text of the resolution. It had
always been the custom to spread res
buttons IN tuil upon the minutes and
there was no Justifiahle reason for
now going behind a long established
precedent. As we'll say the F,ouse
could strike out any other legitimate
proceeding
MI Critchlow took the ground that
there was no reason why a resolution
should be spread in full any more
chan a bill. The only reason, he sun
posed. why it had been the custom in
the past was that resolutions were
usually short
Mr.. Smoot said there was a very
