SETTLING ESTATES OF DECEASED
PERSONS.


A bill has been introduced in the Senate
relating to the auditing and adjusting of
claims and accounts in the county of Ram
sey against the estates of deceased persons.
The bill is radically defective. The
object is to simplify the auditing
of claims, and, for this purpose, it pro-
vides for the appointment of a Probate Com
missioner, by the judges of the District
Courts, to audit claims in the Probate
Court, constitutional court of record with
original and exclusive jurisdiction. The fea-
ture of the bill is absolutely unconstitu-
tional, and not only unconstitu-
tional but against every principle
of correct law. The probate court has e1-
elusive and original jurisdiction over the
estates of deceased persons, and Of persons
under guardianship. The district courts
have no jurisdiction, and cannot, by any
legislative act, be clothed with any except
the appellate jurisdiction given by the con-
stitution and statutes. The district Judge
has no power to appoint any one to hea,
claims in the probate court, or to interfere
in any way whatever in the proceedings Of
| that court.
There is no reason why the district
judges should have anything to dc
with the matter. They, as 8
| general rule, are no more competent to pass
on these matter than the probate judges
and it would be violation of every princi-
pie to give these district judges any power
over Probate Courts or their proceedings
The district judges have already quite
enough power and quite enough to do, pro
vided they attend promptly to the legitimate
business of their own courts.
If the law should be amended at all, com
missioners should be abolished, and thu
Judge of Probate authorized to pass fnall,
on claims to be first presented, on notice, tx
the executor or administrator as in New York
In case of large estates and complicated ant
disputed claims, the Judge of Probate should
be authorized himself to appoint an auditor
of accounts or referee to report to the court
any law infringing in the least degree OF
the Jurisdiction, original and exclusive juris
diction of the Probate court will be uncon
stitutional, and will be 50 declared whethe
intended for Ramsey or any other county.

TWO PENITENTIARIES And TWO IN
SINE HQ2PITALE

It is rather early in the history of Mime
sofa, with its present population, to require
another penitentiary and another insane
hospital. How long will it be before others
are required. With three Normal Schools
bleeding the people annually, like leeches,
and dozen or so eleemosynary institutions
to be supported, at the expense of tax payers
and besides two penitentiaries in full blast,
what will be the end of it? After while
there will be no one left to pay the taxes.
It matters little about the sites of the pro-
posed penitentiary and hospital, but the e1-
pense and cost are the items most interest
ing to the people. 1t must necessarily be
more expensive to run two separate estab-
lishments than one, and why can not we
have one penitentiary with sufficient accom-
modations for all the guests of the State
Locate it where you please, but we don't
want half dozen penitentiaries for popu-
lation of 100000.
AS to the Insane Hospital, perhaps it would
be better to have an Asylum fol
imbeciles, idiots and incurable patients. The
hospital, once relieved of all this class OF
patients, could then accommodate the really
insane and those whom there is any ikeli.
hood that medical treatment would benefit
Such an asylum is needed. Besides some
check should be put on the facility of com
initials. Many are sent to the hospital who
should be put to work. Work is a great
remedy for insanity and for disease gener-
ally.
There is too much insanity in Minnesota
for good health. Why can not some pre-
tentative measures be adopted? Why
is it that the medical profession do not
bestow more attention on this subject!
The number of insane people is alarming
What is the cause? And can not that cause
be aleviated?
It is not pleasant for it to go abroad that
Minnesota has to maintain two penitentia-
ries and two insane hospitals and it will be less

The House was actively debating yesterday
whether it was advisable to expend money
from the internal improvement fund, in view
of the fact that that fund is already overdrawn
After protracted consideration, it was
solemnly decided to spend the money all the
same, although there is no money to be ex-
pended. 1t was one of the happiest solu-
tions of difficult question which was ever
witnessed in Minnesota.

The Senate Judiciary committee have
been instructed to inquire whether Judges of
the District Court have sufficient salaries.
The present salary is $4,000, and we do not
doubt the committee will report it entirely
inadequate. A man who is qualified to be q
District Judge can certainly earn more than
the allotted salary by dewoting himself to
his profession. We do not say that all our
District Judges in this State were earning
$4,000 in their practice when elevated to the
bench, but we do say that no man is fit for
the bench who can not exceed that amount
in fees. The fact is, that small salaries have
estopped first class lawyers from allowing
their names to be used in connection with
the bench. We ought to have our judicial po-
sitions filed with the best legal talent in the
State. A cheap Judge is oftentimes very ex-
pensiye luxury.

with an active inquiry for wheat and maize

extensive business in wheat, white and red

peared in your paper day or two since. So
far as relates to his statement that was dis
charged from the city service with a suspi-
cion of dishonesty attached to me, he knew
when he wrote them lines they were untrue
and how pronounce them false in every
particular. Only upon two occasions during
residence of twenty-eight years in this
State have had any connection whatever
with the city government of st. Paul, first
being engaged in 1873 as Sewerage Engineer
and SO remained until the winter of 1875
when, under the pressure of the cry for re.
trenchment, the office of Sewerage Enginee,
was merged into that of the City Engineer
and my services were no longer required
and on my retirement, without solicitation
on my part, received written testimonial
from. the Chief Engineer in charge, testify
ing to my ability and integrity as an officer
of the city, and regretting the exigencies that
severed our official connection. The second
time was engaged by the late City Attor-
ney, General German deceased, to assist in
the Attorneys Office, and so remained few
months, until the business of the Office did
not require an assistant, hence I resigned
| on my own motion, for truth
of which see City Council
proceedings on file in the City Clerks Office.
The object of Clerk O'Connor in thus
assailing my integrity is too apparent, his
unfortunate position before the bar of public
justice renders him an object of pity. have
no unkind word for him, have taken no
part against him other than to obey the
mandate of the law when cited to appear be-
fore the grand jury, and under the solemn
obligation of my oath, testify the truth and
nothing but the truth as to the part he play
ed IN the matter of the poll book frauds OF
Ramsey County, this and nothing more. j
trust he will be able to clear himself of al
completely in those outrages against the PEG
pie, and ask him here, when ever he is dis
posed to attend to me publicly, not to do it a
the expense of truth.
