House---Sirth Working Day.
Whatever may be thought or said of the
general makeup Of the Twentieth Legisla-
ture OF Minnesota, there is one fact which
Will hardly be gainsayed, and that is that the
present House is, in the matter at least of
Tue observance OF outward form, one of the
most pionsty inclined bodies that has ever
assembled within the frescoed walls of the
capitol. The response to the chaplain's in
vocations and petitions to the throne of
grace are, it must strike the most casual OBJ
server, more general and to this ex-
tent fattering tribute to the
innate piety and religious training
Of the body. Daily, when the chaplain as
cends the rostrum and lifts up his voice in
prayer, there is to be noticed general up
rising Of members from their seats and
very deyout nien while the s:holy man of
Cod claims their attention. This general
observance of the time honored custom of
rising during prayer, bids fair to render OBJ
soiete that old and long standing joke about
the "Amen corner" whore heretofore the
good and pionsly inclined of each succeed
ing house have been wont to ''most conere-
gate Who will say that this cir
cunlstance, now fer the first
time spread before an almirine
world in tho columns of The GLOBE does
not speak volumes in praise of the average
Minnesota legislator, and go far towards the
embalming in the "honeyed sweetness of
Immortality for the use and guidande OF fu-
ture generations, the piety and religious fer
7or OF the law-makefs of the twentieth
session?
Thus far in the House no special leader
been developed. No Richmond has vet an
peared upon the field to carry the House by
storm, and constitute himself the heart and
front OF the Assembly. The laurel wreath
OF leadership as yet CLOWNS the brow
! Of no ambitious aspirant, though
several threre be in the Republican
ranks who would fain grasp the Coveted Ion
OF. But so far no golden opportunity has
presented itself for the display of any pre-
emlnence IN carrying along the House as by
leading string, hence the would be champi
ons are compelled to remain mute, inglori-
GUS and unknown to fame
The proceedings thus far have not been
very important, but to-day the initiative was
taken, and one OF two important measures
brought up. These were the introduction of
bill granting an eytention of time to the
Hastings & Dakota Railroad, and also of a
memorial to Congress for the same purpose.
The Hastings l. Dakota enters the
field early in the session
/ Those bills were introduced by Hon. j. M.
Bowler, of Renville, and in placing their in
terests in such competent hands, the com
pany has shown rare Judgment and good
sense A bill introduced and passed last
year provided for the building of 85 miles in
1917; the sa,ne in 1873, and 25 miles year
thereafter until the road was completed 10
the State line. Congress failed, however, to
extend the time to the State, notwithstand-
ing which the company proceeded with
the work and graded two-thirds of the dis
lance OF 81 miles from Glencoe westward
The blu now introduced by Mr.. Bow
Ter requires the company to com
plete seventy miles, tie distance
to Granite Falls, by the first of December
1873; 80 by December lst, 1879, and 25 miles
year thereafter until cmpleted 10 Big
| stone Lake-the western boundry of the
State. In the terms of the extension the
rights OF settlers along the line of the road
are fully protected without unnecessary in
jury to the interests of the road. The com
pany give every assurance that they will
hasten the completion of the road and as
the line extends through one of the most
fertile portions OF the State, it is pretty Ger.
tam that no unnecessary DELAY in its CON
s!ruction will ensue

session Yesterday morning, Speaker Gilman an
