great natural beauty--somewha marred by
green goggles to be sure-has invented an

an average since the Legislature met.-REP.

Mr.. TROW said, as an individual he
would always treat every other individual
as man [Sensation. Had the individual
reporter of the PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
treated the smallest individual messenger on
this floor, as he had done individual members
of this House, that individual 1.-THE Reporter)
deserved to be expelled from the floor of the
House, to which he was admitted by the
courtesy of members, and he (Trow) would
vote to expel him. His speech in support
of the liquor bill struck blow at the De-
mocracy, which every individual member of
that party felt, in the recesses of bis soul
felt, the speaker said felt-to be blow!
[Sensation. The main reliance of the
Democratic party was upon whiskey, and
the individual who made the report, as one
of the class who manage and control polit.
ical matters by the use of whiskey, knew
that without whiskey the Democratic party
could not live day.
Mr.. GARRARD, of Goodhue, inter.
rupting)-I saw a great many Republicans
pretty drunk, in my vicinity, last election
day. Laughter.l
Mr.. TROW continuing, oblivious of the
interruption An individual member of the
Democratic party could be manufactured at
any time, out of pair of brogaps and three
quarts of whiskey. Laug hter by the
speaker. He wanted reporters when they
came into this House to behave as individ-
uals should, and not pervert the remarks of
individual members. He thought he could
teach the individual who reported for the
PIONEER decency. He (Trow) for that
purpose, would send south, and procure from
that individuals masters supposed to be
the Reporters masters niger woman, to
give him few lessons in courtesy and de-
cency. He would place that individual
under the training of black nurse. He
(Trow) said the House should maintain the
rights of individuals here, and protect them
from such assaults as that contained in the
lying sheet called the PIONEER AND DEMO.
Graf.
Mr.. DONOHUE reminded Mr.. Trow
that in his newborn zeal for the dignity of
the House, and the rights of members, he
forgot the outrageously personal and infa.
nous epithets which he applied to member
from Ramsey county.
Mr.. STEVENS made some remarks in
which he intimated that the M,nnesotian
only reported favorites, and those who ad.
vanced the printing interests of that establish
ment. correctly and said this was his reason
for including the reporter for that paper in
the resolution.
Mr.. KINKEAD hoped the whole matter
would be dropped. The proceedings ridi-
culed in the PIONEER were disgraceful, and
occupied the time of the House, without
producing beneficial results.
Mr.. TROW again obtained the floor, and
again electrified the House-individuall
and collectively, particularly individually.
Mr.. HUNT favored the resolution.
Mr.. ABBOTT read carefully prepared
speech, in support of the resolution. The
reporter, the essay went on to say, had in
suited the dignity of the House, and should
not receive its courtesies. Mr.. A. also de-
fined his opinion as to races, and explained
his remark of the preceding day in reference
to "lazy, thieving, lousy Indians"
Mr.. ROBERTSON called the speaker to
order for reading speech. He should save
bis schoolboy essays for country lyceums.
Mr.. HAYES opposed the resolution; he
would not restrain the liberty of the press.
Mr.. ROBERTSON said this Republican
legislature is a great body. He did not
know what the majority would next attempt.
They had turned out members legally elected,
because they were Democrats they had
trampled upon the freedom of speech, by
gagging Democrats who attempted to ex-
pose the enormities committed by the Re-
publicans and now, to cap the climax. it
was gravely proposed to turn out Demo-
cratic reporters. The Speaker defended the
correctness of the report of the ridiculous
proceedings of Friday, published in the
PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT. The member
from Fillmore, (Mr. Trow) objected to the
word bloviate." Well, did not he bloviate,
and has he lot every day of the session,
Laughter) Then the report says he
GRATED y we'll, didn't he? This express
sion was too digni6ed to apply to the trash
uttered by the Fillmore member, who, he
regarded, as type Of the black Republican
party, and whose speech was mere ebuli-
ton of black bile. The speaker said he had
been frequently misrepresented in the press,
but said nothing. What troubled Mr..
Trow was, that his vanity was hurt, because
his speech was not given in full.
Mr.. KINKEAD called for the previous
question, on the motion to indefinitely post
pone the resolution. The main question
was ordered, and the resolution postponed
indefinitely, on a division, by vote of ayes
80, nays 10.
ANOTHER RESOLUTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE
Mr.. SHEAFFER offered the following
resolution
RESOLVED, That the Minnesotian and Times
and the PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT be allowed to
publish what their editors deem proper in ref
erence to the proceedings of this House.
The Speaker ruled the resolution out of
order.
Mr.. STEVENS made speech, on what
he esteemed the duties of reporters.
Mr.. SECONDS appealed from the decis-
ion of the Speaker, ruling Mr.. Scheaffer's
resolution out of order. Upon this motion,
