House bill No. l2l is intended to
regulate the powers Of the railroad
commissioners, giving them a chance
to make the railroad companies walk
the chalk line. 1t is a similar law to
that in force in Iowa. Below will be
found Il paragraph sent out from
Fargo, which appeared in several OF
the Twin City papers of Tuesday. 1t
reads we'll and has created considera.
BILE talk.
The bill passed the house easily
but the senate may Kill 1t, as the
members are alleged to be dominated
by railroad influences. A story is
told that President Hill of the Great
Northern was first opposed to the re
election of Senator Hansbrough, but
suddenly Topped at the last minute
and made*a deal by which he could
assist in controlling the patronage of
the state and would see that antago.
nistic railroad legislation is prevent:
ed. The state senate being a small
body, the deal was fixed there to run
things properly, aud several state
senators, so the story goes, have been
promised good things contingent on
their paralyzing all anti railroad bills.
The jobs said to have been promis ed
are; For Jud Lamoure, appointm emf
of his father.in-law as collector Of
customs, Pembina; II. F. Arnold.
Grand Forks land office; Frank Viets,
governorship Of Alaska; w. A. Cor.

These twelve are supposed to be able
to secure the other four votes neces.
sary. The opposition got the bill
postponed till Tuesday, and Senators
Haggart and 4amqure went 10 the
Twin Cities to consult with railr9 vi
officials as to ways and means
To offset the above, the following
dispatch sent out from Bismarck
appeared in the Argus Wednesday:
The IL senator's reported in Twir

and no matter what might have beer

they would not be whipped into linz

the attack has not strengthened thu

ICED opposition to the bill, but it j:
difficult now to say what the resul
will be. Had the dispatch come from

TWO LITTLE BUDS.
Two little buds grew on a tree,
Young. fair. and beautiful to see;
The soft winds kiss ed their petals rare,
And blew their fragrance4hrough the air.
They blossom'd into flowers sweet,
In them the sky. clouds, and sun did meet,
To paint heav'n's blue, the gold Of sun,
And cloud-land hues Of glory:spun.
But ono fair flower faded fast,
It droop'd, it wither'd. it dropp'd, at last.
Into the hand Of dark eyed earth,
10 receive on high an angel birth.
In the blest land Of summer song.
That flower will bloom, and along
The streams of the eternal sphere,
Display new beauty year by year.
And when our work on earth is done,
We'll gather our flowers one by one,
We'll find them blooming rich and bright.
In the pure land of celestial light.
By Rev. G. W. Gallagher.
