ton of the House, and shown himself entitled
to the praise so generally accorded him, of a d
faithful and efficient discharge of duty.
At the evening session Mr.. Bowler was called
to the chair in committee of the whole, and
under his direction business was ratified off in
lively style. In fact Bowler displayed admir-
able qualities presiding officer and gave
satisfaction to all by the genial good humor
and witty sallies which marked his administra-
ton of the duties Of presiding officer.
Last night the long pending bone of conten-
ton, the county seat removal bill of Scott
county, was finally disposed of. Col. COlvill |
urged the passage Of the bill in strong speech,
but Mr.. Kinds moved to indefinitely postpone
and In few telling remarks sealed the fate of
the measure which was irrevocably defeated l
by vote of 46 to IS. Thus ended one of the 1
most remarkable contests that ever occurred in |
the Minnesota Legislature. While The GLOBE |
insists that the bill should have passed, it still
cannot help admiring the consummate skill and /
extraordinary ability with which MIR. Kinds |
conducted his case from the outset. Not a |
false move was made and every error of his OPP |
ponent was made the most of. Shakopee should |
feel proud of her representative and his emf |
nent services.
small section of the Scott county war
came up IN the Lincoln county seat removal
bill. MIR. Brandt was the champion, and moved.
the bill be recommended to pass. Mr.. Williams
moved to postpone. Mr.. Colvill spoke in favor
OF the bill, and Mr.. Rice brought down the
House by moving to commit the bill to Messrs
Kinds and Giles. The outburst that followed
this, was heightened by the crash of a chair,
which led Mr.. Morse to observe that the gentle
man, Mr. Denison, was entitled to the floor.
About this time the spirit of fun seemed to
possess the House. Everybo appeared intent
on enjoying himself Notwithstanding the
playful spirit Of the committee Mr.. Bowler
| was able to keep sufficient check on them, SO
| as not to materially interfere with business,
| which, despite the disposition to play, pro-
crossed rapidly.
The Senate bill, introduced by Senator c. d.
Gi1fllan, making the reform school State in
| stitution was after a severe and protracted
| contest, indefinitely postponed. This
blow at st. Paul and Minneapolis, and had the
House considered the relative proportion of
taxes paid by the two counties to that of the
rest of the State it would not have been DONE
