Senator .Reaney offered resolution request
ing the Governor to return to the Senate the
bill relating to the board of education of the
CITY of st. Paul. Referred to Ramsey county
delegation.
IN COMMITTEE OF HE WHOLE,
Senator c.. +. Buck in the chair, Sena tor
Reaney offered substitute for the bill relating
to the obstruction of navigation on the Missis-
sipi river, and the substitute was ordered to be
placed at the head Of general orders to-day.
The bill providing for the removal Of feeble
minded children from the insane asylums to
the institute for the deaf and dumb and blind
was discussed at length and referred
to special committee of three to consider this
| and two other bills relating to the same sub.
| ject, and who are to report to-day at 8 o'clock.
&
| ton was recommended to pass. Mr.. Mealey's
bill relating to the grading of wheat coming
| up, that gentleman suggested that as it would
probably excite considerable debate it would
be better TO let it go until to-day, but sew
eral Senators wanted to see it considered with
out delay.
Senator Williams moved to amend by strik-
| ing out the provision in section 4, providing
| for offering damaged grain for sale.
| Senator Rahilly announced the bill as a
measure intended to defeat the brass kettle
bill, and said it was in the interest of ware
! house and mill men.
| Senator Mealey disclaimed any such inten-
ton, and said he did not think his bill was Of
the nature claimed by Mr.. Rahilly. He had
pledged his constituents to endeavor to dc
something for them in this respect, and he
believed this would be satisfactory to them.
Senator Castle said it was the desire of the
people that 4emething should be done to abol-
ish the brass kettle, and that dissatisfaction
would prevail IT something was not done. This
was the only bill before the Senate, and he
thought it ought to pass. There were objec.
tions to the bill, but he believed that if Sena-
tor Williams amendment was adopted it would
be a satisfactory one to all concerned.
Senator Kinds said this matter had been
neglected too long by the tester committee
and that inasmuch as this was the only bill on
the subject before the Senate, it ought tc
pass, and if the bill framed by the committee
ever got into the Senate, and was better bill
that could be passed also.
Senator Thacher wanted the bill deferred
till tomorrow, in order that the tester com.
mittee bill might be heard from. 1t was dis.
courteous to the committee not to wait fol
this bill one day.
Senator H. 3. Wilson said he wanted an op-
portunity to abolish the brass kettle. He
thought it was the greatest humbug of the
times, but he wanted an opportunity to vote
for its abolition.
Senator Castle said if the bill was not got tc
the House by Monday it would never pass, for
the reason that there would be many measures
left out in the cold for want of time to read
the bills.
Senator Mealey again said he disclaimed any
intention to place anything in the bill deroga-
| tory to the interests of his constituents, who
were farmers, and he did not believe there was
He did not wish to be considered as crowdina
this matter, but he did not want to return tx
his constituents until something had beer
done for their relief.
Senator Doran wanted the bill read, anc
asked if there was no provision made for fixing
the market price of wheat?
Senator Castle moved to amend by striking
out that portion Of the bill giving the com:
planning witness portion of the fine collected
| Senator 81. B. Wilson said that it was ex
pected that something should be done upor
this subject, and he thought that this bill
would be satisfactory to all farmers, millers
| and warehousemen.
that the mode of filing the tester was left to
the State inspector, and wanted to know il
any one supposed there was the ghost of show
| that the inspector would fill the kettle in the
interest of the agriculturalist.
/ Senator Adams endorsed the bill in the name
Of the 20, 600 people of Dakota county who had
waited all the session for the tester committee
| to report q bill for the abolition of the brass
kettle.
Senator Hill said that section seemed tc
him to have another drive well in it. Under
! its provisions the inspector of wheat might in
i vent a contriyance for filling the measure ani
/ compel its use at whatever price he should
choose to demand.
Senator Doran said we had representative
| farmer in the person of MIR. Rahiliy and he did
! not want the bill passed in opposition to hi:
] protest. As an act Of courtesy to the gentle
man he wanted the bill to be laid aside. There
j was another officer to be appointed under the
bill and the Senate was swift to avail them
selves of the opportunity to pass it.
! Senator Buell. wanted the bill laid aside un
| til tomorrow as he wanted to see the Other
i BILL and that some respect should be shown tc
the committee who had made this subject 8
study for weeks.
Senator Thatcher said that Mr.. Mealey had moi

special order for Monday at o'clock.
Senator Page, as a practical and representa-
tive farmer, said he desired that the bill bt
laid ASIDE forever. He knew what the tester
committee had been doing, and they hac
4 framed q bill to meet the requirements of tn,
case.
i Senator Thacher's motion to make it the spe
cial order for Monday at o'clock was carried
