Hogan raised the point of order that per^^sons interested, such as county attorneys,^were not permitted to vote under the rules^adopted by the convention.
Uurleighand Hogan had a passage-at-^i orer the question, Uurleigh claiming^tie was one of the distinguished gen-^alluded to, and it was beneath the
dignityof a gentleman to raise that point-^To which Hogan replied that it was N -^neatt: the dignity ot a gentleman to trans^^gress the rule*, and Uurleigh retorted thai^if the gentleman did not allude to him, aa^said, it reminded him of a man who want^^ed to trespass the roles ol bis neighbor's^hen roost and fearing to go himself sent a^skunk.

Lncecalled attention to a section in^proposition 24, which provides that county-^officers shall bold their offices for two^years, a proposition which had been passed^and could nat be amended. The section^proposed by the gentleman from Deer^Lodge, Robinson, waa entirely out of place.

Kanouseoffered an amendment to sec^^tion 11 providing that an ^uniform system^^of public schools shall be maintained in^^stead of ^aystems.^ The motion pre^^vailed, and Judge Dixon moved to recon^^sider the vote aa the language of the en^^abling act was used and the convention^should do as congress said. Collins was in^favor of the amendment as congress never^intended that Montana abould have more^than one system of public schools. The^language used by congress applied to all^the territories and not to Montana alone.^Kanouse held the same views and said the^language should be corrected. Carpenter^held if the convention followed tne letter^the system was disregarded.
Theamendment ot Kanouse was again^put upon its passage and carried. Ayes,^S3; noes. 1W. Declared adopted.
Loudmoved to amend ordinance seven^by striking out ^law for territorial officers^^and inserting section 5, which provides for^a canvassing board.

The^amendment carried and the proposition^was placed upon its final passage. It^passed by the following vote: Ayes, 34;^noes, 27; absent, 4; paired, 10.

debt,nor any part thereof, of any county,^etty, towr. or municipal corporation^^^Burleigh's resolution tor the state to aa-^sume county indebtedness be considered.^It had not been placed on general file and^was not considered.
Loudmoved to strike out of section S^'no county shall incur any indebtedness or^liability for any single purpose to an^amount exceeding S10,0u0 without the ap^^proval ot a majority of the electors thereof^voting at an election to be provided by^law.^ Hershtield hoped the amendment^would not prevail, as counties should be re^^stricted to expenditures for a single pur^^pose. Kennedy wanted the amendment^to prevail, in Missoula county a number of^bridge* had to be built which would coat^over 910,000, and to have to submit to the^people every proposition for improvements^would not be right. Ramsdell believed it^wise to limit the county commissioners to^S 10,000.
Amotion was made to strike out SIO.OOU^and insert $15,000, and Myers and Hersh^^tield spoke against it, saying 810,000 was^amply large and sufficient. The amend-^meut was lost and Loud's motion to strike^out a portion of section 6 was put and lost.
Wittermoved that when the committee^arise it report back proposition No. M ^ it:,^the recommendation that it paas as * tend^^ed. The motion carried, tne convention^resumed, the chairman reported as instruc^ted and the proposition was placed upon^its final paasage. Conrad moved to add to^section 6 the proviso giving municipalities^the right to incur indebtedness lor a water^supply, if so ordered by the people, the^words : ^on system of sewerage.^ The^amendment was adopted. The proposition^waa then adopted as amended.
TneWater tjuention.
Onmotion of Joy the convention went^into committee of the waole on proposition^24. Joy in the chair. Kanouse moved to^amend section 1 by substituting '^ all unap^^propriated water* within the state shall be^declared to be public property and subject^to appropriation according to law.
Collinswanted the section to read: ^All^water in the state shall be declared to be^public property.^ Bickford wanted to know^if the motion prevailed, would it not make^springs on private lands subject to appro^^priation. Luce held that if the motion^prevailed the people wouldn't be allowed^to own the water In their own wells.^Cooper said If such a proposition had ema^^nated from Henry George or Dennis Kear^^ney he would not be surprised, but coming^from the gentleman from Cascade, who^wished to take vested rights away from^people, he was astonished.
Collinsheld that vested rights could not^be taken away from persons, but the law^should control them as far as possible, and^no man should be allowed to nold water or^use it unless for beneficial purposes. All^water in the territory should be public^property.
l,oddardsaid the amendment offered by^Collins had not been incorporated in the^constitution. The proviso only had refer^^ence to ditches for public use.
Toolemoved that when the committee^arise it report back the proposition with^the recommendation that it be laid upon^the table. He said the legislature could^deal with the subject and be was in favor^ot relegating the whole subject to future^legislatures.
Eatonseconded the motion of Toole In a^spetch.
Knowlesheld there was a great deal in^the proposition to be considered. The^rights men have to water already appropri^^ated are guaranteed to them by congress.^To declare that all unappropriated water^should belong to the public was very im^^portant and the convention should take^some action in the matter. The state^should get possession of all public water*^so that future legislation might be had to^control them. The proposition had better^be lelt in. The use of water according to^law waa a very necessary provision. He^said Collins was mistaken in claiming that^all water had been declared to be for pub^^lic use, but only the right of way for water^over private grounds. Tne power to regu^^late the use of water should be left with^the county commissioners.
Parberryasked that a resolution intro^^duced by Robinson, referring to water^rights, should be considered with the^proposition. Myers wanted 'he propos:-^tion adopted, as it was copied mainly from^the constitution of Colorado, a state where^water laws are far in advance of all other^states.
Burleighsaid he would endorse every^word his friend Judge Knowles bad said it^he understood what he talked about, but^he didn't know what it was. J. R Toole^was ol the opinion of Burleigh. He had no^idea what the judge was driving at. It the^state owned the water the legislature could^pass laws providing for appropriations It^the United states owned it then we should^memorialize congress for it. Collins stated^that all the fundamental law had been^adopted, and the convention would be^tying the hands of the legislature to enact^nny other law.
Theamendment of J. k. Toole that the^committee report back the proposition with^the recommendation that it lay upon tbe^table was carried. The committee rose^and the chairman reported as instructed.
J.R. Toole moved that the report of the^committee be adopted. The ayes and noes^were called, resulting: Ayes, 32: noes, 28:^absent, 15.
Hickmangave notice that he wou'd^move to reconsider the vote by * hich the^motion to lay proposition No. 2^^ upon the^table was carried.
Burleighmoved to adjourn. Carried by^a rising vote, a number wanting to bold a^night session.

FIndeTime for Some Thinga.^Butte Mining Journal: President Harri^son has not time or inclination to render^the relief he promised to the lead produc^^ers of the United States during the cam^^paign. Yet, while that Industry is lan^^guishing, be has found time to look^officially after an army of relatives, as will^be seen by a glance at the latest revised^list of family appointments, which includes^the president's brother, two brothers in-^i law, father in-law, son's father in-law,^! wife's cousin, son's wife's cousin, nephew.
daughter'sbrother-in law, brother's son-iu-^I law, wife's niece's husband, son's father-^\ in-law's niece's husband; and in addition^j to these relatives of toe presidential fam^^ily. Secretary Halford's brother-in-law has^a job. As the administration has only been^in power five months this is not a bad^showing. Probably Mr. Harrison wanted^to dispose of these weighty matters before^be bothered himself with less important^ones, such as the lead question.
otin a rit-.i-.uii Mood.
BozemanAvant Courier: If the conven^^tion will only remain in session a few^weeks longer it will probably succeed in^giving us a state constitution that will
almostcertainly contain the germs of pul^^monary consumption or inherent destruc^^tion. What, with the high^not to say^exorbitant^salaries of judges and other^state officers; the exemption of the mines^from taxation; the exemption of all prop^^erty claimed to be used for religious and^benevolent purposes, and finally, the pro^^posed exemption of irrigation and other^canals from taxation, the few remaining^industries bid fair to become completely^crushed under tbe burden of taxation that^will be necessary to impose upon them in^order to keep up the enormous expenses of^the new, sparsely settled and imperfectly^devel ped state.
