IDAHO LAWMAKERS ADJOURN
FIFTH LEGISLATIVE SESSION
LASTED SIXTY Y-SEvEN DAYS.
Governor Vetoes the Anti-fusion Bill
Controversy Over Deficiency
Appropriations.
(special to The Herald \

Boise, Ida, March THE fifth ses-
sion of the Idaho legislature adjourned
tonight at o'clock sine die, after a
session of sixty-seven days. The ending
was without special incident. The time
agreed upon was o'clock, but in keep
ing with timehonored custom, the
hands of the clock in each branch were
stopped for q short period to sustain
the fiction that the time agreed upon
had not arrived.
The evening session was a recess for
the most part. During the intermission
the members engaged in animated pa
per ball bombardment, and they played
no faVorites. Speaker Evans was
cracked several times, and Mayor Alex:
ander poked his head through the door
to witness the fun and was soaked in
the ear. The members quieted down
few minutes before the time for ad-

based upon the report of the commit
tee. and. in my judgment, it ought to be
disposed of.
Il believe we ought to show whether
we believe that the work of our COM
mittee has been well done, or whether
! they have been mistaken in their con-
clusions, that they may be supported,
or else know by our votes that we dis
agree with them upon the work that
/ they have performed. Let us meet this
question like men; let us support the
hands of this committee that we have
selected, or else let them know by the
vote of this joint assembly that we dis
approve of their opinion. Let us meet
this issue like men and women, and let
it go not only to the people of our own
state, but to the people of this broad
world, and particularly citizens of
America, that either we condemn GER
tain methods, or else that we exonerate
men charged with this Infamous method
and turn them free among the people"
JACKSoN'S VIEWS.
Representative Jackson followed in
support of the amendment: I am in
favor of the motion offered by Repre-
sentative Richards" he said. THE joint
assembly, when it appointed this com
inquiry, to lay its findings before the
JOINT assembly for the purpose as l un-
derstand it, of guiding them in their ac-
ton in selecting a United States Sena-
tor. The joint assembly has no right
to exercise a judicial function, but its
duties are purely of a ministerial char
acter.
i think it would be an improper
course to adopt either of the reports.
If it is wise that some person be vindi-
Gated, let an indictment be prepared.
am scarcely prepared to say that Mr..
McCune has been guilty of bribery, be-
cause that is the matter to be settled
by the judge and jury. Nor am pre-
pared to say that Mr.. Law is guilty of
soliciting u bribe. for that should be
tried in the same way. The reports
should be received and filed; they are
here for our information, and for no
other purpose.
REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT.
Representative Murdock was also in
favor of the amendment He said: Il
am heartily in favor of the amendment |
think both reports should be placed |
upon the same level. 1t is not a unan- |
imous report from the entire committee. |
This committee were selected from this |
body, this joint assembly, to investi- |
gate a certain charge, and they have |
done so, and do not want to cast any
reflection upon any one member, for / |
believe that they did to the best of
their ability, sending their conscience
with their judgment, in regard to the
matter, as shall do-as / am doing.

journment arrived, notice of which wa:
given by the starting of the clock al
5:55. After the approval of the days
journal, Speaker Evans rose and, am1C
the silence that was impressive, ad-
dressed the members:
LAS am about to lay down my gave
for the last time he said, Il desire tc
express my thanks for the courtesy
shown me by the members L hope you
will reach your homes in safety, and
receive warm welcomes from your sew
eral constituents to whose judgments
we must submit the result of our labors
for approval or condemnation"
Then, giving the desk a resounding
rap. he declared the house adjourned
without day. The announcement was
greeted with general hand-clapping
The members who were all ready to
leave were, in a few moments, out of
the building. Many of them took the
10 o'clock train.
The final day was devoted largely to
consideration of the deficiency appro-
nriation bill. AS passed by the house,
the measure carried $19,406.49, repre-
senting the deficiency created during
the Democratic-Populist administration
of 1878. The senate, controlled by the
Republican Populist combination,
amended the bill by adding $11, $685. 19,
representing the deficiencies incurred
during the regime of 1867 that the last
Legislature refused to pay; $1,337.35 for
court stenographers' expenses, and $12,-
600 to reimburse the contributors of the
Omaha exposition fund. Many members
of the house. Democrats and silver Re-
publicans, declared they would not vote
to concur if they had to remain in ses
sion month longer, but when the
amendments came in the adjournment
pressure was too great to be overcome,
and the amendments were concurred in
without discussion, and the bill was re-
passed and sent to the governor
ANTI-FUSION BILL VETOED.
During the day the governor sent
veto of the anti-fusion bill, urging in
support of his action that the measure
an abridgement of the peo-
pies rights. The senate sustained the
veto by a vote of 8 to s.
The house adopted resolutions COM
to Speaker Evans.
During the day the governor sent in
the names of Thomas e. Kicks of Ere
mont; l. n. Coston of Ada and w. F.
Kasiska of Pocatello to be directors of
the insane asylum, and they were con-
firmed.
The house killed the senate bill for
bounty of cent a pound for beet sugar
by refusing. to advance it under sus-
pension.

let them go before q grand jury That,
sir, can yet be done.
But we appointed that committee,
we gave them instructions, we con-
ferred upon them powers; they have
performed their duty and submitted
their report, and l say, sir, that there
is no citizen that has a right at this
| time. at this hour. to bob up here and
object to definite, positive action being
taken on those reports. 1t is simple
justice that some expression should be
made. 1t is justice to the man who
was accused upon the floor of this house
by member Of this body of committing
high crime. The committee who We're
appointed to investigate that have
made their report, and 1t is our most
solemn duty, sir, as members of this
assembly and as American citizens, to
act upon this report, and do it man.
fully and in no way attempt to dodge
the issue. Every man on this floor who
is supporting a certain candidate who
was accused of high crime, is impli-
Gated as being party to that crime.
i, sir, not only in my behalf, but in
behalf of the grand constituency that
1 have the honor here to represent, de-
mand vindication. On the floor of this
house by innuendo, and almost by di-
rect charge. everv man supporting A.
w. McCune has been accused of being
corrupted. And now the very men who
were so glib in casting those innuen-
does and coming so close to direct
charges, are the men today that stand
upon this floor and object to definite
action being taken upon the report of
the committee that has performed it's
duties as we directed it to do. l say,
sir, that it is unmanly and cowardly
and l demand justice for myself and
the man 1 have supported"
Representative Bennion favored non
consideration. He said: II think 1
rather favor the motion of Represen-
tative Richards. and in doing so l be- !
lieve do not cast any repreach on the I
thing, all the subject matter is before
this legislature, and one member is |
about as prepared and enlightened on |
this subject as another. We have all |
pretty well made up our minds in re-
gard to these reports, and the accept
ance or rejection of these reports is |
merely matter of form. 1t is not 60
ing to change our views nor our votes,
the minority or majority re-
port is accepted. / believe that if we
favor one report. we must in some
measure condemn the other l feel to
hold all these men in due regard and
to give due weight to all their delib-
erations. And, therefore. / am not in
favor of discussing this matter any
further. I think We should let them be
iled and then let them co.

cussed today at a meeting of the Chicago
soap manufacturers. called for the pur-
pose of taking some action in regard to

the prospects are now good for a combin-
alton taking in every large manufacturer
in the United States. A capitalization of
fully s75,0000c0 ILL be represented If this

THE DREAM-SHIP.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies
As though it were wandering cloud
The ghostly dream-ship lies.
An angel stands at the dream-ships helm,
An angel stands at the prov,
And AN angel stand at the dream ships sid
With arue-wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silvered-crowned,
Pilot aud helmsmen are,
And the angel with the wreath OF rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
They fall on young and old;
And some are dreams OF poverty,
And some are dreams OF gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with JOY.
And some that melt to tears;
Some are dreams OF the dawn Of love.
And some OF the old dead years.
Onsrich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumbering earth their joys
And sorrows E.anifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds OF mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be a beggarnau
The paper be king
In that revenge of recompense
The drcam-ship dreams do bring.
So ever do inward float the dreams
That are for all and me.
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
As though it were cloud astray-
The ghostly dreamship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with wreath OF rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
