THE MARsHALs BILL

The following concluding proceedings Of
the senate on Monday shows the position Of
the majority Of that body upon-the recently
vetoed marshals appropriation bill:
Mr.. Eaton asked consent to consider the
adjournment resolution and Mr.. Window
objected.
MI. Eaton-I would like to ask the sena-
tor if be really supposes that our sitting
here until Tomorrow morning will make
any difference.
MI. Windom-Iw would be very unwilling
TO sty that I think 1t would not make any
difference because the president has shown
SO coDclusively that those appropriations
ought to be made that it would impute q
disposition to leave without making the
necessary appropriations. IDerisive laugh
ter on the democratic side.1
MI. Wind0m-I will ask the consent of
the senate to introduce q bill making an sp.
preparation Of 100000 to pay the fees Of
United States narshals and askit reference
to the COMMITTEES on appropriations. in
order that they may act on it tomorrow,
and 1t will require only twenty four hours
to complete eur business.
Mr.. Eaton-We all heard the message
read and gave it due consideration. Sup
pose my friend puts the bill on lis passage
now?
Nj. Windom-Upon that suggestion 1
will offer it now.
NJ. Eaton-Then Ne will have time to
adjourn before 6 o'clock.
Mr.. Window accordingly introduced the
bill which Is the marshals' appropriation
bill vetoed to-day minus the political
clauses.
Mr.. House said if the suggestion OF Mr..
Window was q desire to fssten the respen.
sibilitv for adjournment without making
appropriations upon the democrats, the OBJ
ject would DO attained az we'll by q vote on
the adjournment resolution, If MI. Winlom
would withdraw bis objection to it's consi-
deratisn.
MI. Windom-I would be very glad 10
yield to that proposition. I have too much
confidence in my democratic friends here to
suppose that they would refuse to make the
appropriations, but if We should act on that
proposition and you pass 1t, as of course
yeu will, because you don't propose to deny
the appropriations which the president
has just told us are 60 indispensable, when
you had passed 1t and sent 1t to the house.
the house could not pass it in time. Laugh.
teri.
Mr.. Salisbury objected to present censi-
Iteration Of the bill. but soon after withdrew
his objection.
The bill was read twice, and the question
being on Its third reading, Mr.. Eaton moved
10 amend by adding the politicalsc3auses Of
the vetoed marshals' appropriation bill,
making the bill exactly the same as the one
vetoed to-day.
Mr.. Windom-It will be understood that
this is precisely ss II the senate should re-
fuse to pass the bill. [Cries of That's It..

Mr.. Beck-1t could not hurt him to veto
1t the second time, IL It Il handed in now.

A SUGGESTION.

Some months ago. before much was SAID
or known about the intention Of the Chica-
60, Milwaukee and ST. Paul and other rail-
road corporations which have since COM
menced the construction of lines In the ter
ritory, a number Of the leading business
men of Yankton took the initiatsry steps
for the organization Of q company having
for its object the building Of . railroad from
Yankton in q northeasterly direction to
some point 10 the Sioux river in Lincoln
county. Before the Organization was per-
fected. the supposed plans Of the Chicago
8 Milwaukee road were, as it was believed
suff1c iently developed TO convey to our PEG
pie the belief that that company would
build a road to Yankton from the direction
indicated, and consequently the proposed
Yankton organization was dropped.
Now, that it is we'll settled that the Nil
waukee road will not build to Yankton from
the direction desired, We suggest that the
old organization be revived and perfected.
The distance from Yankton to the Sioux
river, where it would be desirable for that
road toreach that stream, Is about fifty miles,
and the route lies over a country which Of
fers few obstacles to a railroad. The coun-
try for the entire distance is practically level,
and is we'll settled and cultivated. 1t is es.
timated by practical men that the cost, in.
GLIDING the right of way, of grading q road
from Yankton to the Big Sisux,say at Eden,
would not exceed five hundred dollars a
mile, or a total of $25,0oo. At Eden. or
some other point agreed upon, We could con-
meet with some other road, probably the
Worthington & Sioux Falls, now buildings
branch from LaVerne down the Rock river,
which would secure our franchise, reimburse
US for the cost of grading, and iron and op.
crate the road to Yankton. The subsidies
demanded by the companies which have
proposed to build to Yankton will cost us as
much as it will to grade a road to the Big
Sioux, and at the same time subject us to
disadvantages in regard to routes which
would make the former alternative vastly
more expensive.
We simply throw out this suggestion for
the consideration Of our citizens. If the plan
is considered feasible, now is the proper
tine fer action.
