The closing hours of the session were per-
haps the most memorable for many years.
Throughout the night preceding the final adj
journment, the session continued, and lasted
until half past six O'Clock, when the trans
action of business was put stop to by an
adjournment to 10 o'clock.
AS intimated in yesterdays GLOBE, the ut
most good humor prevailed during the entire
night. Notwithstanding the inherent
tendency of the Minnesota legislators on the
closing night to raise the devil generally, and
make as much racket as possible, the speaker
managed them admirably and with even
hand so adjusted the reins that but little in
terruption ensued to the regular course of
business
Of course, great anxiety was manifested
throughout the night, by many members
who had "wosdchucks'' pending, to get
them before the House, and to this fact is
probably due great proportion of the OBJ
struction met with in the transaction of
business. Strong competition was to be
noted throughout the night, among those
who had favorite measures to press, and, no
doubt, a great amount of ingenuity and tact
was resorted to, to get their bills acted upon.
While some were disappointed, many were
yet made happy, and left the capitol building
rejoicing and glad at heart. The adjourn
ment of the Senate at about o'clock. put a
quietus upon all House bills Enacted upon in
that body. and cleared the way for the more
rapid quitting through of Senate bills
which had been passed there and sent to the
House.
In playful spirit on. Wednesday evening
the house committed the bill for the re-
moval of the county seat of Lincoln county
to Messrs. Kinds and Giles of Scott county
as gentlemen fully competent to pass upon
the merits of county seat removals. Both
gentlemen submitted reports, and on Thurs
day evening sent them up to be read. The
report of Mr.. Kinds in serio-com vein
recommended the indefinite postponement
of the bill, while that of Mr.. Giles took the
matter more in earnest and recommended
its passage, on the ground that the voters
of Lincoln county by large plurality de-
sired the county seat removed, and also on
the further ground that the privilege of
having it removed was accorded them by
the constitution. Evidently bearing in
mind his own bad luck in the county seat
contest of his own county, Mr.. Giles was
led to ask the House how it could consist
emily withhold from the people of Lincoln
county their just rights? To him it seemed
a burning shame for the House even for q
moment to question this.
This little incident revived old memories
of the struggle in which both these gentle.
men figured SO conspicuously, the details Of
which have, from time to time, figured in
the columns of The GLOBE. The opinion
of The GLOBE on the merits of the count,
seat fight is well known, but while on thi,
point it may not be out of place to say, tha
no blame can possibly attach to Mr.. Gle.
for his failure to get his bill through. I
was no fault of his that the bill is not law
No man in Scott county, or in the State
could have passed that bill against Mr.. Kinds
opposition, and if any such there be who
think otherwise, all The GLOBE, which has
observed the contest in all it's phases, car
say is that they are woefully mistaken
From the very outset Mr.. Kinds had deter
mined to defeat the bill, and to do this ben
every energy, and all the force of his vigor
GUS and able mind. In addition to this ther,
was really considerable force in the obiec
| tons he urged against the removal, as being
measure not calculated to bestow any benefi
upon the people. On the contrary, Mr.. Gile
made the best use of the very appropriat.
and telling fact that the people had the RICH
to vote upon it, and should be accorded tn
privilege.
That Mr.. Giles failed was not unexpecte,
by those who watched the fight from the out
set. In personal intercourse with his fellow
members, Mr.. Giles proved superior to hi
opponent, and to this fact is mainly due th
strength manifested by the bill in all it's va
rious stages. Under all the circumstances
Mr.. Giles is entitled to great credit for tn
| manner In which he worked up his case, ant
| his constituents from Jordan and that sec
| ton should certainly send him back mex
winter, and in case they do it, The GLOBE il
willing to go on record as making the pre-
diction that the opportunity will be Offered
them at the next election thereafter, to vot
upon the county seat removal question
| Until this time, the people of Jordan will
be compelled to bide their time and wait il
patience for tho good time coming. Blu
they should realize the fact that the passage
! of their favorite measure against the skilled
tacticians of Shakopee, at the present SEES
sion, was an absolute impossibility.
