tween Minnesota and Seymour, Sabin
s. Co.
The late Legislature passed bill providing
for commission to determine and finally SET
tie all matters in dispute between the State

The committee finds that Seymour. eabin &
Go. owe the State 1884 SO for prison labor
and $2,O2O.80 interest on the same, making
total OF 1886, 649.39, while the State is indebted

the sum Of $41, 43l.91, leaving $4782.52 due
from the State to Seymour, sabin& Co., which
is to be paid in convict labor

room and otherwise comply with the contract

the rate to be paid for convict labor was reduced
from forty-fve to forty cents per day. It was
further stipulated that when $50 convicts were
actually employed the State must furnish addi-
tlonal shop room, or in case OF failure to do SO,
Seymour, Sabin 4 Co. can erect them and APP
ply the cost in payment of convict labor.

tract in 1881, the State is to buy all of Eey-

Reaeensfield.s Consumate Art.


Lord Beaconsfeld never betrayed,
from the moment when he rose to the
| moment when he sat down, the slightest
| consciousness that he was affirming, in
the face of the most splendid audience
which any English statesman in our
time has addressed, the most brilliant
personal triumph which any English
statesman has ever achieved. Was this
eonsummate art, or was it simply the
effect of the physical exhaustion under
which he was laboring, and which was
attested by his recourse at intervals to a
little phial of some medicine which he
put upon the table in front of him before
he began TO speak. His enemies accept
| the latter Interpretation; but they cannot
deny that whatever may have been the
secret Of the thing, the Premier did most
| completely disappoint those who looked
to see him explode in fireworks over his
success, or depart in some way from that
special "tone of the Upper House, J"
which Englishmen would like to regard,
if they could, as the peculiar privilege
aud attribute Of a peculiar class of trained
and hereditary Senators. His voice new
er really faltered, however, from the be-
ginning to the end of his speech, though
it lasted an hour and a quarter. 1t was
always clear, vibrating-at times deep
and resonant-admirably welded within
tone, and certainly L saw nothing to
show that he might not have INDUCED in
all the acerbities and emphasis of the
Commons had he chosen so to do. If
Lord Beaconsfield is to be down as a
histrionic statesman, his speech of yes
terday stamps hum as the most consum-
mate actor who las ever trod the boards
Of st. Stephens. No duke of twenty
long descents could have carried off this
high discussion of empire with a lord
/ lier simplicity and ease of manner. You
would have said that the speaker from his
youli uIs anu tAJob Ills ulCSSjOTS IOT
many generations before him, must have
been bred to the business of ssecting
| monarchies and reconstructing the map
Of Europe. Or if you did not say this,
you must have said that he was states
man in earnest, speaking of themes
made familiar to him by many years of
silent meditation, and dealing with plans
and policy too vast and too serious to
leave any room to his mind for personal
emotions and party pyrotechnics. The
whole speech was commentary upon
| Bismarck's verdict uttered after the ad-
iourpment of the Congress to a German
diplomatist, who repeated it to me this
morning: ''As for Lord Beaconsfeld,
he seems to have been milking treaties of
| Berlin all his life. "-NetU York World.
