There is reason to believe that the Presidents

TO subjects for which it will be convened, and
then he will, at the instance of tho secretary of

to the extent Of $lO,O00000 by the passage of

the events Immediately preceding the battle

THE DEMOCRACY or MINNESOTA.

THE DEMOCRACY OF MINNESOTA.
The GLOBE publishes the ringing address
of the Democratic Legislative committee to
the Democracy of Minnesota. It is terse,
but truthful arraignment Of the Republican
party and concise statement of what the
Democratic party, though controlling but
one branch of Congress, has been able to
accomplish. The following platform, enun-
ciatsd by the address, will commend itself to
every patriotic citizen, regardless of party
affiliations:
No class legislation.
Free trade and equal taxation.
A currency based upon coin.
Equality among the States, and each left to
control Its own local affsirs.
No more sectional strife or animosity.
Legislation for the people, and no dishonest
CT inefficient officials to be tolerated.
Equal protection to all, and special favors to
none.
There is something more for the Demo
cratic party in Minnesota to do besides enun-
ciating principles. There should be united
harmonious action and vigorous organiza-
ton. The Democracy gained one Congress
man in the State last fall, and with harmony
and vigorous organization, might have
gained two. They very nearly secured con-
troll of one branch of the legislature, and if
proper canvass had been made in everv
Senatorial district the Democrats would have
had working majority of the Senate. Years
of defeat have created the impression
that success is impossible, and
many victory has been los,
IN the supposition that contest would prove
tseless. Such suppositions and presump.
IONS should be blotted out of the Democratic
party. Within two weeks a Congress will
meet, both branches of which, for the firs
time in nearly twenty years, will be Demo
cratic, The Democratic President was elect.

IT is due Senator Hill, of Winona county,
to say that his opposition to the swamp
land bill was based on no narrow ground, as
might have been supposed from the printed
report of the speech. He did not complain
of the division, or that his locality did not
receive proper portion of it. For eighteen
years he has been consistent and persistent
opponent of all land grants and subsidies,
and his course on the swamp land bill was
in accordance with his life policy. While
the GLOBE believes be makes q mistake in
such sweeping opposition TO land grants, he
is entitled to credit for honest and honor
able motives in the premises.
Daily globe., 1879-03-07

THE Legislature wisely concluded not to
disturb the publication of the laws in the
newspapers, and the law was allowed to re-
main as it has been for ten years past, while
the usual appropriation was made. There
was, in the House, very determined op-
position to the publication or to the amount
paid, and at one time it seemed as though
that branch of the legislature would go on
record in favor of absolute repeal or reduc-
ing pay to SO small sum as to render the
law imperative. Wiser counsels prevailed.
however, and even that branch changed
front to considerable extent. the Senate
made no effort to abolish the publication.
