THE NEW MARKET HOUSE.

A correspondent of one of the city papers
is very anxious on the subject of issuing
bonds to build new market house. He
seems to imagine that it is scheme which
will involve the city in debt. This is alto
gether mistake. It is toe one public build
ing of all others which will pay all expenses
at the start, and in very few years will pay
its original cost. The construction of a
market house, as proposed, will bring large
number of new dealers to the city who can
not now find proper accommodations for
business. 1t will concentrate largo num-
Der of dealers who are now scattered through
the city, and the spacious hall will be a much
needed public institution. The basement
restaurant will also command a. handsome
rental.
AS $4,000 will pay the interest on the
bonds, there need not be the slightest idea
that the people will ever be taxed single
dollar for the improvement. The rental
will not only pay the annual interest, but in
from twelve to fifteen years will have created
a sinking fund which will discharge the
principal. The bonds should not be allowed
to issue for longer period than fifteen
years. as with honest and prudent man.
aoement g. sufficient fund is certain TO be
created by that time to discharge them.
The present market is not only unsightly,
but improbable to the city. The city owns
q large and valuable piece of ground where
the present hideous market stands. But a
comparatively small portion is covered by

THE SENATE.


The first measure to attract the attention
of the Senate yesterday morning was the
motion of Senator @. F. Buck to call from
the table the drive we'll bill and have it
placed on the calendar for third reading,
and by his vigorous advocacy of the measure
imparting new life to it's supposed corpse. A
general discussion of the question followed,
and vote having been taken, the bill was
placed on the calendar.
The memorial to Congress asking an
amendment to the constitution granting
universal suffrage was discussed, and Soma
tor Morrison plead the cause of the ladies in
a neat and sensible speech, and Senator
Kinds advocated it more from legal stand
point. Sanator E. M. Wilson opposed the
resolution, not that he opposed the granting
CT the ballot to the ladies', but upon the
States rights grounds that the State atone
has the right to determine who shall exer-
else the right of suffrage. It is safe to say
that if ladies do vote Mr.. Morrison can come
back to the Senate whenever he wishes. The
memorial was recommended to pass.
The House joint resolution asking Con-
gress to order the sale of the pine stumpage
on the Indian reservation in this State
caused perfect howl when it came in COM
mittee of the whole. Senator Castle alone
advocated the memorial, while number Of
Senators opposed it in strong and vigorous
terms, generally upon the ground that when
the Indian title should be extinguished the
State would come in for its share of the
school and !swamp lands, which they did not
propose to have denuded of the chief ele-
ment of it's value. The rights of clio the
poor Indian were spoken of, but Indians
are not appreciated in Minnesota. It was
recommended to be indefinitely postponed.

THE HOUSE.

Yesterday was devoted wholly to gable
in the House. There was large file of gen
eral orders, and the effort was made to get
through it in commi tee of the whole. But
the promise was not suspicious. First of all
two hours were consumed in the discussion
of the bill recognizing the JUDICIAL districts
of the State. Nearly all the oratorical MEM
bers objected to its provisions because it af-
fected their constituents, and it was soon
made evident that the professions of reform
that have been SO freely made would weigh
but little where local interests were at stake
By hard fight Mr.. Jones, the author of the
bill, assisted mainly by Mr.. Benson, man.
aged to squeeze it through with a favorable
recommendation.
Then came the debate on the bill to re-
duce the rate of interest. to 10 per cent.
This was fought savagely by Mr.. Comstock
and several others, Messrs. Hicks and w.
M. Campbell being its chief defenders. The
speeches were long, and traversed the ground
previously covered by the Senate. This, too,
got through and on the calendar, and at 1870
a recess was TAKEN.
In the afternoon better progress was made,
and some forty bills were considered, Then

Troopsberg, Steuben county, N. Y, April TO-,
1888. His father was farmer, and at that oc-
cupation the son served until fifteen years of
age, attending the district school a portion of
the time. About that period his parents set
tied IN Indiana; where they lived five years,
and from there they removed to Adams
county. Wisconsin. In the fall of
1862 he came to Minne sofa, set
tied in Rochester Olmsted county. The
spring OF 1864 he left that place. crossed the
plains and brought up in Idaho; mined out
there two years and then returned to his first
love, Minnesota, where he has been satisfied to
remain. In the spring Of 1864 he was
united in marriage to Miss Mary W.
aeeters, in Steuben county, Indiana.
His ancestors were from New England and New
jersey, but back of that period the line may
be traced to England and Ireland. Mr.. Stiles

Wig They Prosecute HIM

That the Republicans have a motive for
maligning one they have injured SO deeply

be at once wiser and juster. The next Presi-

the enemy in abusing man just because he

To the little old mountain village of Fair
field, many years ago, there came a Snowman
with a show; talking dogs, singing apes,
laughing gas, balloon and lecture with an
the performance came and the affair turned out
humbug The boys took the show man in
hand. First appropriating the money he had
received at the door. they tied him, led him to
the pump, and gave him a ducking. In the
midst of the melee Shep Tuttle, rather cow
ardly fellow, who had done his part
in getting up the excitement
| reached over the heads of the crowd
| and dealt the Snowman a severe thwack with a
blackthornt stick across the temple. The blood
spurted out. The poor wretch cried piteously.
| The boys were moved. They had meant to give
the mountebank lesson, not to hurt him. The
cowardice of the blow and the sight of the
blood produced sudden and violent reaction.
They united his hands. They washed his
wound. They took him kindly. back to the
| tavern, gave him his money and let him go in
peace. Next night, and for many nights there
after, as it dark, shrill, piping
voice rang out at one end of the single street
which ran through the village, who hit the
| showman?'
| Then in deep basso from the ether end of
| the street the reply:
'Shep Tuttler'
"What did he hit him for?
"'Couse he aeas tietzn'

| Senate met at 10 o clock.
Senator G. F. Buck called up the bill appro-
priating 1880 to aid the Anti Drive Well as
soclatlon, and made speech explaining the
necessity for such an appropriation, and moved
that 1t be put on the calendar for third read
ing. He said when the bill was discussed in
committee of the whole, some days ago, he was
prevented from expressing his views by neces-
sary absence, and he now desired to do so, and
secure its passage if possible. He stated that
| there were $4,000 of these drive-wells in the
| State, and that the holders of the pretended
| patent would, if not resisted in the most eff
hcacious manner by superior legal talent, carry
away from the State from quarter to half
million dollars.
Senator Pillsbury said he had been compelled
| to pay nearly fifty dollars for the privilege of
using his drive we'll, and was very much pro-
| Voked at the methods used to fitch that amount
| from him.
| Senator N1ealey was willing to be taxed to
hight the case. though he had 10 drive-well
| Senator Thacher asked Mr.. Pillsbury if he had
to pay $50 in addition to the cost of the we'll,
| Senator Flllsbury said he had received notice
| to come and settle for his drive-well. He in
structed his clerk to pay the bill through mis-
take, and the bill was $47 So instead of $40. as
he had supposed, and the receipt was drawn in
such manner as to prevent him from sueing
the sharpers. He was willing to be taxed $500
| to fight the cases.
Senator H. B. Wilson wanted the owners of
drlve-wells to put their hands in their pockets
and defend themselves as others had to do when
| they get into trouble.
Senator Thacher sorry for people who
! owned drive-wells, but he was opposed to the
State fighting the battles Of private individu-
ais. If this bill was passed, others would fol-
low, and it would be difficult to lad place to
stop such appropriations.
The bill was discussed by several other sena-
tors, when the motion to indefinitely postpone
the bill was lost, and the bill was placed on
calendar.

Both branches of the Legislature nave ad-
journed over till Monday evening, thus
losing two full working days in the last week
but one of the session. In the House there
are about one hundred and fifty bills yet to
be acted upon, and about hundred in the
members pockets yet to be introduced. In
the Senate there are over hundred bills
still to be disposed of, besides what may
come from the House for concurrence. Thus
it will be seen that there are at least three
hundred bills requiring attention-probably
greater number. It is almost a physical
impossibility for the clerks of the two houses
to read all these bills a first, second and
third time and call the roll on the question
of their passage, and it is certainly impossi-
BILE that the members can give them the con-
sderation and scrutiny they should receive.
remainder of the session will probably 60
through, therefore, with only the cursory in
spection that the committees are able to
give them.
We would suggest to those having wood
chucks which they wish to rush through
the legislature that now is the time to bring
them along. There will be little danger that
they will be discovered in the rush of bust
ness that must prevail for the next two
weeks, and unless some argus-eyed reporter
shall detect them, they will pass through un-
challenged. Judging by the steady increase
of the lobby, we conclude that the men with
the woodchucks appreciate this fact, and
will not be slow to take advantage of the
circumstances.
This is precisely the state of affairs that
the GLOBE predicted early in the session.
During the second week of January we
warned the members that they would be
overcrowded with business and be unable to
properly serve their constituents. That
warning has been UNDECIDED, and day after
day has been wasted in useless and senseless
debate on trivial topics, while long adjourn
ments have been had while part of the mem
bers went junketing about the State. We
now fear that there will be much unwise
legislation in consequence before the final
adjournment. AS we have said, there is too
little time for the proper consideration and
inspection of the bills that are now and
hereafter will be brought before the Senate
and House of Representatives. The lobby
will be far more active as the session ap-
proaches it's end, and will no doubt succeed
in forcing through a good many bills with
woodchucks in them. If SO, the legislature
will have itself to blame. There has been
time enough for the full consideration of
every measure that might come up, but the
time has been wasted. It is to be feared that
the constituents of many of the members
will not be moved to pronounce the verdict,
