ratification of the
tion. A member of the assembly on
the morning of the 28th, moved that
a convention be called to consider
the constitution, and that a time be
fixed for the choice of dflegates.
The opponents of the measure were
in the minority, but b three of them
absenting themselves there would be
no quorum. The legislature was to
adjourn on the 20th. The three
members stayed out; tlie sergeant-at-arms
was sent after them, but tliOV
refused to go in, A report of their
conduct had spread abroad, and the
people hearing there was no quorum,
went to the tavern, seized two of the
-absentees, dragged them to the state
house, thrust them into the assembly
chamber and blocked the doors.
This completed the quorum, and the
convention was called."

Sunday the Davis house bit off
more than it could chew. When
Speaker Davis called his house to
order there were seveu Benson men
at their desks writing, and Davis in
structed the clerk to count them
present. This was done, and a few
moments latter a motion was made
to adjourn. Here was. the Benson
iron's opportunity, and they grasped
it. There were only seven Davis
men present, including that gentle
man. The motion was made to ad
journ until 11 :59 Mondaj morning,
and the Benson men objected to
Davis voting unless the vote was a
lie, and he acquiesced in this view.
Then the Ifcnson men voted the
motion down, moved to adjourn un
til 11:45 at night, and carried it,
thus compelling the Davis house to
meet at midnight.
It will bo but a short time until
the voters of this district will be
called upon to decide the question
of bonding the district for the pur
pose of funding the present indebted
ness, and providing the means for
building a new schoolhouse. The
existing debt must be provided for
and the school must be maintained
and additional buildings provided.
The only question that comes up is
as to the best manner of accomplish
ing that result. It is a question the
taxpayers want to give earnest
thought, so that they may vote in
telligently on the proposition.
Only three more days remain of
the regular legislative session. It is
not probable that any organization
will be perfected or anything at nil
done, and it is hardly to ha presumed
that Governor Lord will call an ex
tra session.

Ills Dear Llt-
The two houses of congress have
quarreled over the immigration bill,
and have had two separate confer
encc committees on the matter.
They have at last agreed, the "ob
jectionable matter" being all elimin
ated, and the bill will pass. The
trouble is that the so called "objec
tionable matter" was only so to the
intending immigrant, and the bill as
now passed will be as much benefit
