A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE
Judge Barnes and Col. Doran View the
 Democratic Platform.

Judge w. H. Barnes and Colonel 4. J. Doran were pokins, around the legisla- tive lumber yesterday. not looking for anything in particular but with the' oI,- feet if they had any object of puttins in the time which the lower house was trying so strenuously to kill. Let s looI at the platforms. said Colonel Doran: lets see the democratic plat form first" They had some difficulty finding it and stiu more difficulty recoG- nizing it after they had found it. Most of the blanks had been removed and carried entirely away. One of them. the eight-hour plank. was there. but il was broken down in the middle. There was in fact little left of it except the bare structural "'whereases' and be it resolved" ''view with alarm" and point with pride constituting tha mere framework Of platform which Judge Barnes said he thought might be utilized two years hence. Colonel Doran moved about the structure. shook it and knocked the dust off which had been gathering since the 18th of January Of the present year.
 You'd better be careful" said Judge Barnes warnirgly: that things liable to fall on you; it's been the death af a good many men I might name. Then it's 9 good place for snakes They'll consregate around an unused political platform rather than any other place. At this instant a sound of missing pro- ceeded from the debris, and Judge Barnes started back. Colonel Doran continued his investigation and came Tt last upon writhing mass of serpent5. 'They're harmless said he: they look like garter snakes" Step aside said Judge Barnes. and let an authority on snakes pass on this matter; that : my business.
 He made a careful inspection of the maddenad serpents and pronounced them to be of Q particularly venomous species. The farther one can keep away" said he. from a political plat form the safer he will be"
 They next investigated the republica-1 territorial platform. It was built on the ground, and if useless as point of elevation it was at least harmless 1t was impossible for it to fall on one, and was laid so close to the ground that even q snake could not find Judgment under it.
 Thereafter" said Judge Barnes. let the democrats use this platform for ;t model: that is if they have to have q platform, which 1 very much doubt. This one though has not cost anything. and it looks like platform, and that is all that is necessary. This kind of T platform will be forgotten entirely by the time of the next republican conven- tion: nobody will see it. But when the democratic territorial convention comes around two years from now that dis mantled wreck of a democratic pla'- form will be the most conspicuous eye sore on the landscape"

THE COWAN BILL FIGHT
(Cont;auad from Page OneD
BEGINNING OF THE END

If one had ret been aware of the struggle which had been on for weeks he would easily have seen that some thing was in the air when the house convened in morning session. II was . tug of war. The members were dlNad- eJ into parties of uncertain strength. The leaders of enc side Were urging things forward and the managers Of the other were, pulling Jack. One side was regardless of the flight of time and the other acted as if it thought that the world was about to come to an end and much remained to be done. The movements of the opposition were to the friends of the CoWan bill pro- vakingly deliberate. They even be- lieved that the chief clerk was in tEe conspiracy for the annihilation of time. Everything had to be read in full and it was read with d precision and enunciation which the CJvan bill men believed to be an exaggeratiOn of the requirements of the occasion.
 There were the usual committee re- ports and the following pills were in- trcduced: By Mr Webb. authorizing the use of the highways for the trans mission of water. Gas and electricity :; by Mir. Barrow, for the IeaDDortion- T1cnt of the Iegislati delegation.
