SENATOR Hill, St. Charles. Winona coun.

SENATOR Hill, St. Charles Winona coun-
ty, yesterday introduced bill for refunding
the tax paid into the State for the inebriate
asylum. The payment of this tax was op-
posed by a large majority of the persons to
whom it applied, on the ground that the act
was unconstitutional, that opposition being
carried into the courts. few, however,
while believing the law unconstitutional,
thought it best to comply with the provis-
ions of the law until the courts had passed
upon its constitutionality, trusting to the
sense of justice of the State, as represented
by the legislature, for refunding the money
paid, should the decision of the courts be
against the law. While the matter was in
this shape the inebriate asylum was trans
ferred by the legislature into second hospi-
tai for the insane. OF course prosecutions on
the part of the State to compel delinquents
to pay the tax imposed ceased with the trans
fer. The result is that the men who fought
the law have their money, while those who,
while believing the law unconstitutional,
acted upon the theory that as good citizens
it was their duty to obey its provisions until
declared imperative, and paid the tax i'm
posed, are out their money. Under such

The Minneapolis delegation in the House,
led by Hicks, is displaying the same narrow
characteristics which led to the war upon the
State fair. In short, Minneapolis has ar
rayed herself in the legislature against the
entire State. Mr.. Hicks loses no oppor-
tunity to air his local narrow mindedness
and array himself against all measures not
directly pertaining to Minneapolis. As the
result, the country members of the legis-
lature are beginning to sit down on him, and
it is doubtful whether he can now secure the
passage of a solitary grab in which his
locality is Interested. They ought to have
understood his supreme selfishness long ago.
He does not even represent Hennepin county.
He is too narrow to even cover the whole
city of Minneapolis, and stands as the repre-
sentative of a precinct only, ready to destroy
every State interest which does not directly
benefit his own door yard. He does not op-
pose measures simply because they are
hostile to his little patch of soil, but because
they are not solely and exclusively in his
favor. By this course Minneapolis has
ostracised herself from all the rest of the
State, and can hope for no cooperation on
any point from the country members.

The manner in which Mr.W. M. Campbell
wheat in the House yesterday stamps him as
sagacious and allie leader of men. His
bill, in the first place, was as nearly perfect
as it could be made after the consideration
of nearly score of bills on the subject.
When the debate was begun Mr.. Campbell
discovered that he was slightly in the mi
nority. He waited till he was confident that
he had majority and then pressed vote
on all the amendments offered, succeeding
in carrying all but one just as he wished. It
was not done by bulldozing, but simply by
sheer force of will; and achieved victory
over the most determined opposition, of
which he has every reason to be proud.

downfall was heralded few days ago,
though it was admitted that he made four
million dollars in falling out of Union
Pacific. Almost any one could endure such
downfall, which involved selling stock for
seventy cents which WAS bought for twenty
five cents. The latest intelligence, however,
is that he not only made thu cash strike, but
that he in reality is still the monarch of
Union Pacific, and has perfected arrange
ments for uniting the Kansas Pecifc and
Colorado Central with that enterprise. This
programme is expected to be executed the
coming week.

A CERTAIN newspaper in this city charges

they cannot be present to vote on all meas

THERE was great crush at the governors
reception last evening. Both gentlemen and
ladies we're packed together like sardines in
box. They all shook hands with the gov
ernor and his estimable wife, and passed out
into the corridors Of the hotel, to be crowded
and re-packed over and over again. They
passed to the dining room, partook of re-
freshments, and then assembled once more to
the over-crowded corridors, there to be
damned together again. The occasion was
ostensibly in compliment of the members of
the legislature, but it was in reality simply
a congregation of the so-called fashionable
society of the State SO uncomfortably large
as to be no compliment to anybody. The
custom is an absurd one, and though we do
not blame our estimable governor for follow
ing presidents set him, we think the time
will come when such customs will be more
honored in the breech than the observance.

condition of affairs it would seem there is
but one just course left to the State, and that
is the course provided by the bill Of Senator
FORCING II sale OF TIE COMPLIED
STATUTES.

FORCING Il SALE OF THE COMPILED
STATUTES.
There are several reasons why House file
290, which is now in the hands of the SEN
ate. should receive close attention from that
body. On the face of it the bill might be
said to indicate nothing, but in reality it
provides that the State shall buy five hun
dred copies of the. statutes which Judge Geo..
B. Young has compiled, and further that the
county commissioners Of each county shall
supply each Justice of the peace and each
town clerk in the county with a copy It is
estimated that there are at least two thousand
of these officials, and the bill accordingly
makes compulsory sale of some twenty five
hundred copies of the statutes at six dollars
per copy.
If the statutes are to be bought at all, they
should be supplied in this wholesale manner
at very much lower figure. Four dollars
per copy would certainly be enough to pay a
very liberal profit to the publisher. But the
vital point IS that the whole matter is a
purely private business enterprise. The
legislature has given its legal sanction to the
publication and that is all that should be
done. The sale of the work should rest like
any other work with the parties who chose
to purchase it. A few years ago the ex-
pensive Bissell's statutes we're crowded on
the public and similar effort made to Sc
cure compulsory sale but the effort failed
and everyone now repudiates the Bissell
compilation as fraud. We
don't believe either the interests
of the public Or the legal
fraternity demand compilation of the stat
utes at this time, butt SO long as it was a
private business enterprise it was matter
between the publishers and their patrons.
A constitutional convention is likely to be
called by the present egislature, and follow
ing that must come reuSsS0n of the stat
utes, work which the State must perform.
That will be work which all officials must
be supplied with. A compilation of the
statutes at this time, is we'll enough for
those who care to incur the expense, but the
State and counties should not be called
upon to purchase single copy at any price.
If the work is good for anything let it stand
On its merits, but there is no propriety in
a compulsory sale of twenty-five hundred
copies or any other number, at six dollars
or any other figure. We doubt whether the
bill would have passed the House if it had
been understood, but there is now no ex-
cuse for its endorsement by the Senate.

No Pleuro Pneumonia Among the Cattle
