1t was with this self-sacrifcing spirit well

they allowed Col. Feller's amendment to be

thirds. OF a majority.
The real friends of the people, when the
bill comes up this morning, should see that
the proposition is so changed that the ma
jority vote can decide whether it shall be
operative or not. There is no shadow of
basis to refuse this save the absolute knowl-
edge that the bill is a publishers job, and
that the monopoly cannot be created if the
people are heard. Instead of the old
maxim, coo popali, coo Del, this
crowd would have it coz

The attempt to force this fifteen-year mo-
nopoly upon the people without allowing
them to be heard, is bold and open confess
sion that the profession that it is in the
interest of the people is a lie and a cheat.
The opponents of the bill have the strength
to CHANGE this in the Senate this mornino
and allow the majority to rule. If the Sen
ate fails to do this, it will be derelict in its
duty.

in the interest of the dear people. How

4 Resume Of the Rande Case.
sChicago Tribune, 24th.l


On Tuesday the 9Th inst. the case was
called for trial. Three days were spent in
obtaining jury, and nearly 200 Jurors were
passed upon before twelve were found ac-
ceptable to both sides. The twelve selected
were farmers, apparently fair-Iooking lot,
and OF at least ordinary intelligence. AS the
trial proceeded. the proof rolled up so
strongly against the prisoner that it seemed
impossible that he could ever escape his
merlted doom. The defense was insanity,
and the illegality of the attempted arrest
Counsel for the people ably argued against
the latter contention, and the first fell
through of its own weight. Yet, spite of all
this, and i'll spite of the fact that the identity
was proven beyond the shadow of q doubt,
these II men, sworn to find true verdict on
the law and the evidence, sultifed themselves
and outraged the community by finding that
this bloody handed murderer was not quite
bad enough for the gallows Had there eY-
listed one loophole of doubt as to the idsnty
and had they declard their inability to agree
upon that point, there might have been
some excuse for them. There was none, and
yet these miserable libes upon the failEname
of Knox county had the effrontery to return
verdict that Rande was guilty of murder.
but that his sentence should be imprison-
ment for life.
After this, there remained but one duty to
perform. sworn officer of the law, he was
bound TO preserve the peace, and in no other
way could an uprising of the people be
avoided than by smuggling Rande out of the
county and starting him for Joliet before the
news got abroad.
The last chance that he might reap his lust
reward vanished when the party boarded the
tram, which, most unfortunately, had been
delayed. Had the sheriff missed this op-
portunlty, no other would have been afforded.
for the next train from Gilson bore with it
a large number of determined men, friends
and neighbors Of the poor fellow so fouIly
slain, who were determined to execute Justice
upon the murderer in the event of any such
contingency as the criminal action of such
jury. But it WAS too late. When they
reached Galesburg. the Knox county desper-

very existence is living lie.
heart there is not one thought of pity. of hu-
mainly, or manhood, and whose career of
crime lis unrelieved by one good deed or
honest action, was far beyond their reach
Thanks to the sophistical pleading Of hired
attorneys, the mistaken respect for so-called
justice on the part of a deeply wronged and
outraged people, and. above all, to the moral
obliquity and sympathy with crime of twelve
men whose reward will be in the hereafter.
Frank Rande still lives-liyes to do more
murder. The blood that he may yet shed,
and even in the penitentiary at Joliet his
criminal soul will find new opportunities for
the execution of more deviishness and muir
der, will rest upon the men who by their
action gave to the most hardened and awful
villain that ever disgraced this country fresh
lease of life.

THE IMlu1GRArIoN QUESTION.

The action by which the bill providing
for bureau of immigration was lost in the
Senate last Friday, hos been reconsidered
and there is an opportunity to retrieve the
great error. It is now proposed to make
such changes in the bill as will meet any
valid objection, and we hope to see it unani-
mously adopted. The Commissioner of
Statistics should be made part of this bu-
reau and placed in charge thereof. and a
systematic movement inaugurated to secure
the population for the State, which only
needs the proper guidance to pour i'll upon
us by the hundred thousand.
MIR. A. S. Elicit, of this city, has just re-
turned from visit to- Philadelphia. While
there the st. Paul Chamber of Commerce
arranged with him to act as a volunteer i'm
migration agent, simply to give such infor-
nation as might be solicited from him per
sonally. An advertisement was inserted in
two Philadelphia papers, stating where Mr..
Elicit could be found, and the first morning
he received thirty-fye calls from those
who wished to obtain information rel
alive to the State. Hundreds availed them
selves of the opportunity to meet him per-
sonally, and letters poured in upon him al
most by the bushel. The fame of our forty
million bushels of wheat had spread abroad,
and thousands only need little more infor-
nation to turn their faces to Minnesota
The brief and limited effort made by Mr.
Elicit demonstrated the interest which is felt
in this matter in the East. The train which
bore him homeward from that city was
crowded with men and families
seeking homes in the West and
at least two-thirds of them were bound for
Kansas-the State which advertised at the
Centennial.
While we are higgling over the question Of
expanding few thousand dollars in guiding
settlers to our limits, thousands who are
compelled by the vicissitudes of business and
''hard tines to seek new homes are
locating elsewhere. There never was
such an opportunity presented to
Minnesota as is offered to-day. We
can truthfully point to our crop of 1877 with
immense force-perhaps with more force
than we can refer to the crop of 1878 year
hence. The business depression has forced
men to become birds of passage, and we can
catch them on the wing, if we will. With
silver remonetized, and other sound Demo-
cratic measures adopted, an i'm
proved state of affairs may be looked
for, and with that improvement less OPP
portunity is offered for securing splendid
immigration. Nop is our time to work.
Next year it will be too late. The golden
opportunity will have passed and lament it
as we may, once lost, it can never be re-
gained.

Senate.

This body did a fine days work yesterday,
passing nearly sixty bills, some of them
very important, in addition to which con-
siderable other business was transacted. OF
the especially important bills passed was the
general tax law, restoring with slight amend
ment the stringent law of 1874; the bill set
ting aside the 100000 acres of internal i'm
provement lands for the liquidation of the
old railroad bonds, and that for limiting
homestead exemptions to $4,000, the first
TWO by very large majorities and the last
without vote to spare.
That bete nor of the session the supple
mentary school text book law. which passed
the House amended, was promptly returned
to the Senate, and Senator Donnelly after
counting noses and ascertaining, as he
thought, that enough friends of the measure
were present to pass it, undertook to force it
through, but Senators J. B. Gilfillan and
Nelson blocked the little game aud it was
made the special order for II o'clock to-day.
Both the amendments tackled on the bill in
the House are in the interest of the people,
one giving them an opportunity to
reject the monopoly in 1885 if they
shall see fit, and the other giving
the people of any county the right
at any time to release themselves
OF the operations of the law by so
voting by three fourths VOTE True, the
majority required is large, but not larger
than can be easily secured if the measure
proves to be the outrageous swindle it is
feared it will. But it is matter of doubt
If this is the only effect of the House amend
ments, the important question arising
whether the form of the contract being
changed by the incorporation of the amend
ments into the act, does not give Mr.. Mer-
r!ll the right to come in and demand dam
age of the State for the restrictions made.
1t is principally the doubt entertained on
this point by Messrs. Nelson and Gilfllan,
which caused them to object to immediate
consideration.
The Senate signified its belief in the ne
cesslty for constitutional convention by
recommending Senator Waite's bill for that
purpose to pass without dissenting voice.
Bills were introduced regulating the sala-
RES OF certain State officers, and for increas-
ing the salaries of the overworked and under
paid district judges to $500.
Judging 1rom the good Judgment generally
shown by the Senate this session, its verdict
will be in favor of the increase proposed.
The immigration bill is not dead. Senator
Doran, one of the clearest headed members
in the body, having taken charge of the
measure, it will be strange indeed if he does
not convince enough of his associates of the
wisdom of the action proposed, to put it
through. There is hardly room for doubt
as to the necessity for its passage. The fol-
lowing is tl,a
