LOBBIES AND STATE PRISONS.

For the first time this session lobbies have
begun to swarm in and around the State
capitol. There were two around the hall of
the House of Representatives yesterday. One
was composed of ladies who had not read
the GLOBE and therefore did not know that
the temperance bill had been made the
special order for next Wednesday, the 10th
inst. They thought it was the special order
for yesterday, and came forward to the num-
ber of about twenty to assist by their presence
in securing its passage. When they found
that there was nothing to be done except the
regular routine business they dropped out in
couples and by threes and fours, until none
were left. There was also a very consider
able lobby present to urge the claims of this,
that and the other place as the proper loca-
ton for the second State prison about to be
located. They we're very busy in button
holing members, and made themselves first
class nuisances.
In deliberating upon this question it
would be we'll for our Legislators to examine
the plan of other neighboring States. Take,
for example, Wisconsin, which has popu-
lation greater than ours, and but one State
prison that is not at all overcrowded. Four

Hon. J07'eG Benson,

Anoka. Anoka county, was born in Worcester
county, Mass, Nov. 8, 1921. His educational
advantages in early life were the common
school, and a term at the Manual Labor insti-
tute. Worcester. Properly he was raised to ag-
rlcultural pursuits. When quite young man
he went out with corps of engineers and aided
in locating the Providence & Worcester railroad.
After that he became agent for the company
tion on the Worcester &.Nashua railroad. Feb.
5, l843, in Mendon, Worcester county, he was
married to Miss Martha Taft. He held several
offices Of a local character in his native county
Justice Of the peace and various town Offices
In the fall Of 1855 he came to Minnesota, pur-
chased farm above Anoka on the Mississippi
river, and in the spring of 1856 moved there
with his family; remained four years. In
1850 he purchased his present homestead on
the river mile and a half below Anoka. Since
settling in Minnesota his principal business has
been farming and stock raising, although about
all the time he has filled some official station.
He was chief clerk of the House in 1S59-6O.
The sessions of 1861-62, extra session of '62
and regular session of 1864 he was member of
the House, and speaker of that body. Six
years he was one of the directors of the st.
Paul q Pacific railroad; 1901 collector of in
ternal revenue for this district; justice Of the
peace, county commissioner and other Offices he
has held in the gift Of his constituents. Mr..
Benson owns several hundred acres of land
keeps some of the various breeds of fine blood

public spirited representative men of this up

TIE Louisville Courier-J Journal publishes
the following double-leaded editorial para
graph, which is significant, to say the least,
and ought to command the attention of the
medical fraternity if not of the public at
large:
We have reports from Tennessee and Missis-
sippi which are calculated to create deep appre-
hension. They are to the effect that during the
last two or three weeks there have been in
these States a number of cases of yellow fever
and some deaths. It is believed the disease has
been caused by the disintermeut and removal
Of the remains of persons who died last sum-
mer of the fever. It has heretofore been be-
ieved that it impossible for yellow fever
to exist when the mercury had reached the
freezing point; and if the germs of the disease
have not been effectually destroyed by the
severely freezing weather of this winter, much
uueasiness is naturally felt to what will be
the consequences next summer.

legislature for an additional State prison.
Instead of authorizing such an institution
a law was passed authorizing counties to
build houses of correction in which all GRIM
inals sentenced to terms of Imprisonment
less than two years might be confined. But
one county-Milwaukee- -availed itself of
the law, and built a house of correction.
Ever since its establishment it has been we'll
patronized. 1t has been for several years
self supporting, and at no time has it been
a source of expense to the State. Perhaps
Minnesota could profit from the experience
of our sister State in this particular. We
have no doubt, however, but the matter of
the location of new State prison
can be safely postponed till
the twenty second legislature meets.
We have diverged from our original pur-
pose, which was to compliment the legisla-
lature in having so little to do with lobbies.
We have no doubt the members are we'll
qualified to decide upon all matters that may
come up without outside interference. The
manner in which the lobby has been re-
ceived in many instances leads US to the
conclusion that the present is a legislature
not easily influenced by such means.

THE HOuSE.

Contrary to general expectation (the
Speaker and quite number of tie members
having gone to inspect the stone quarries at
St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids,) there was a
quorum in the House yesterday morning,
and the members at once settled down to
business. The first matter that gave rise to
debate was resolution offered by Mr..
Grazing in regard to the neglect of the
Senate to act on the matter of appointing a
joint committee on railroad Determinations.
It was claimed that this resolution would in
suit the Senate, nevertheless it was adopted
by yea and nay vote. Mr.. Campbell's 8 res
olution of the previous day, relative to the
management of the university, was adopted
without debate.
There was scarcely quorum at the after
noon session, and members refrained from
asking for the passage of bills under sus-
pension of the rules for fear that the roll
call would develop no quorum. A vast
amount of routine business was transacted,
however, and in committee of the whole a
good many bills were got on the calendar for
third reading. It was monotonous but
necessary work, but the good results will be
manifest hereafter.

IN IMMIGRATION BOARD,

There are now two bills in the Legislature
providing for promoting immigration. The
first places all the duties of the business in
the hands of the secretary, who, if the bill
passes, will be the alpha and omega of the
matter. The second provides board COM
posed of the Governor, secretary of State,
treasurer, and Sam Fl. Nichols, who shall do
divers and sundry things and have $4,000
to do it with.
The true plan of conducting this immi-
grafton business was outlined in the GLOBE
q year ago. The Commissioner of Statistics
should be as competent man as the State
affords, and he should be er cffcio, Immi-
grafton Commissioner or Secretary. He
should be selected entirely independent of
politics and for his fitness simply. It would
be we'll to have an immigration Board to
serve without compensation. The sugges-
ton which has been made for Board COM
posed of Bishop Ireland and the Land Com
missioners of the various land grant rail-
roads in tie State, is most excellent. Bishop
Ireland has not only given evidence of his
<ASe%A LII olAo AIooo0A3 Out LIZ Atto SlfOA tuo
practical demonstrations of his qualifoa-
tions. The land grant railroads are all
directly interested in securing immigration
to this State, and their land commissioners
are men of experience who are all immigra-
tion agents and abundantly competent to
select and direct State Secretary.
If these gentlemen could be ap-
pointed a Board of Immi-
grafton and given the authority to appoint
the Commissioner of Statistics, it would be
a wise arrangement. The appointment
could be made subject to confirmation by the
Senate, if thought best, but that is the near
est approach to politics which should be
allowed. 1t is hardly likely that any CON
tingency would arise where the Senate would
treat such an appointment as political.
It is all important that the legislature
should act both wisely and literally in this
matter, as no question more vital will be
under consideration this session.
