ter own property, but they are obliged to
any way or pay large sums to the hoirs of
those who may lose their lives by casualty.
Carelessness in this respect is not one of the
faults of the railroad companies. Their en-
gineers are the best that can be procured in
the whole country and the material they use
OF the most durable description.
1t is the duty of the State auditor to see
that lands subject to taxation are properly
listed. The railroad commissioner in the
past has simply procured from the COM
panies lists of the lands sold during given
period, and communicated these lists to the
auditor. This could be done directly by the
auditor, and thus avoid expensive circumlo-
oution. ...
There is one source of the expense of the
Office that has been entirely overlooked by
those who advocate tbs abolition of the
othce-the stationery, printing and postage
bills incurred by the commissioner. The
blank forms in use are very costly; the cir
culars issued by him are numerous, and the
printing of his annual reports involves q
heavy outlay. 1t is safe to say that in these
matters saving of at least a Thousand dol
lars will be effected by the abolition.
But one step remains to complete this re-
form-the final passage of the bill in its
regular order. Probably this order will be
reached tomorrow, and we have no fear of
the result.

Publishing the La,VS.
ISt. Paul Dispatch.

The hypocritical howl of Bill King over
the printing of the laws in the newspapers
deceives no one. Under the pretext of a
drive at h. P. Hall he is striking at the coun-
try papers, in weak revenge for their late re-
fusal to bow the knee to his dictation. n. p.
Hall has no monopoly of printing the laws.
Because he does the work cheaper than the
Dispatch or Bill Kings paper, or any other
printer sees fit to do it, and at the same time
does it promptly and satisfactorily, he gets
the bulk of the business of furnishing the
supplements. But everybody knows that if
he made profit of over or 10 per cent. he
would have plenty of competition. It is the
country papers which make the proft-what
little there is in it. The bulldozer
Is wreaking its malicious hate towards
them, and every member of the
legislature who lends himself to its base de-
signs should understand that he is striking
directly at his home paper and not at 81. P.
Hall. The policy Of circulating the laws
has been settled in this State. 1t is only
question as to how to do it most thoroughly
and economically. After long consideration
we are satisfied that here has been no bet
ter way suggested than that now in use. If
the State gets its work done as cheaply in
this way as in any other way that could be
devised, and at the same time the struggling
country papers are able, by cooperation in
printing, to make q few dollars profit out of
what would be losing business if each edi-
tor did the work himself-who will object,
except the men who hate or the men who
fear an independent press. Call the roll

THE SENATE.

Almost all the Senators were in their places
yesterday, and noble work was nobly done
by that body in passing the bill providing for
the entire reorganization of the Minnesota
hospital for the insane. There were only
three votes in tho negative upon the final
passage of the bill.
The bill providing for the conversion of
the 500, 900 acres of internal improvement
lands into permanent road and bridge
fund, was indefinitely postponed, the Senate
being very strongly of the opinion that it
will not do to dispose of these lands until
the State railroad bonds are cancelled.
The bill appropriating money for the sup
port of State institutions was taken up in
committee of the whole, and the item for the
insane asylums was pared down 1924, 900 for
the two years for which it was made, and Q
disposition seems to prevail that it will not
be allowed to become law until the bill re-
organizing that institution shall have re-
ceived the Governors signature. Objections
to the voting of the full amount asked we're
based upon the extravagancies practiced in
the past years, and it is now proposed to as
certain what sum will comfortable support
the patients of the asylum under prudent
and economical management. It was also
urged that there were from so to 100 inmates
of the asylum who are harmless imbeciles
who are not properly the charges of the
State, but whose admission is due to the in
fuence of the trustees in behalf of personal
friends who did not want to be troubled with
the care of their demented friends. The
other items were not cut down, and the bill
was recommended to pass.
In the course of the discussion of the bill
Senator Pillsbury, chairman of the finance
committee, took occasion to state to the
Senate that if every appropriation bill was
passed just as it came from the committee,
the tax levy would be lower than has ever
been known in the history of the State.

WAS 1T INCENDIARYa

LnmteyS Grocery Store Catches 1T LIoaiu.
The alarm OF tire from box thirteen yester-
day morning was caused by fife being discov-
cred IN the double store of G. Lumley. in Cen
tennlal block on Washington avenue. between
Fifth and Sixth avenues south. The alarm
was given by John D. Smith, who occupied a
room on the second floor of the building. The
hremen were quickly at the scene and the fire
was confined to the two floors of the buildinp
The origin OF the fire is unknown, but as the
rear door was unlocked and open when the
hremen arrived, and trap door on the second
toor was also open, and both door and tran
were securely locked when the store was closed
on Wednesday evening, it is supposed that the
ire was the work of an incendiary. Mr.
Lumley was insured for So. 500 in the fol-
lowing companies Imperial Northern

MINNESOTA House,
R4MBLES AMONG THE REPRESENTA-
TITES OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Hon. AaGLre.v Peterson.

Woodbury., Washington county, is native of
Sweden, born Aug. g. 1897 In early life he
had to struggle with adversely. His mother
died when he was an infant and his father was
30 situated that he was unable to take care of
him. thus leaving him the child of misfortune.
TO fall into the hands Of the authorities, where
however, he was kindly cared for until he he
came old enough to go out into the world and
look out for himself. Subsequently he travelled
IN Germany and acquired the language of that
people; was IN Denmark for a time, and on the
l7th OF Feb, 1858, he sailed from Copenhagen
for the United States, landing in New York the
2lat OF March. He is familiar with three
languages in addition to his native tongue. &C
CURED by his own personal efforts, observation.
study and association among the people. In
1851 he arrived in Minnesota, and settled in
Washington county. When the war broke out
ne went into the army, enlisting in Company
b, Third Minnesota; followed the fortunes
and misfortunes of that brave regiment in lis
desperate fight at Wood Lake against the
aborlgines; went south; was a prisoner at
Murtreesborough; took the malarial fever, but
through the influence of his surgeon, DIR.
Wedge, now a member OF the State Senate, he
was furloughed and sent home thus saving his
life. The 18th of September, 1864, he was
mustered out; returned to Washington county,
and has since followed farming. At Alton
Nov, 1864, he was married to Miss Mary c.
Ehrenberg, lady, as the name implies, of a
prominent family. Mr.. Peterson has very
choice farm of 160 acres of which 148 acres
are under cultivation. He has held the Office
of town clerk nine years, justice of the peace
six; county commissioner, two; votes the
Republican ticket, polled more than his party
vote last fall, and comes here handsomely in
dorsed by his fellow citizens His father is
still living, and resides with him, at the age of
50 years.

4 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.


Senator Hill introduced bill early in the
session providing for Constitutional Con-
vantion, but for some reason the measure
has been allowed to sleep in the hands of the
judiciary committee. This is matter which
ought to be considered on its merits, and it
is unfair to smother such bill in the COM
mit-ee. There ought to have been consti-
tutional convention years ago. 1t has been
twenty years since the adoption of the con-
sti 5ution, and even then it was piece of
patchwork. Two rival political parties, hold.
ing separate conventions and then devotinp
few hours at the close in uniting upon a.
constitution, is the history of what We have.
Since then almost every legislature has at
tached some amendment to the constitu-
ton. There have been seven amendments
prepared at the present session, and several
more are in prospect There is no diver
sity of opinion on the subject. All agree
that there should be a convention, and now,
with biennial sessions of the legislature, it is
highly appropriate that Constitutional
Convention should assemble next winter. It
requires no argument to impress this mat
ter upon the legislature, and the very men
ton of it ought to be sufficient to obtain
speedy action.

THERE is considerable talk about the leg
islature as to the proper disposition to be
made of the State swamp lands, now tied up
by the grant to the Soldiers Orphans Home.
There have been several propositions sub
mitted in both houses, all of which are open
to exceptions more or less forcible. One of
the best of the number is the one suggested
by Major Fridley, of Sherburne county. It
Is not known that his plan will take the
form of bill, but it is certainly worthy of
consideration from the fact that there can
not by any possibility be woodchuck in it.
He proposes that the lands be set apart for
the construction Of railroads; that each
railroad company now in existence or here
after to be organized shall receive for each
mile of new road constructed a certain num-
Der OF acres of these swamp lands, to be dis
posed of as they may see fit. Thus there
should be an inducement to railroads to ex-
tend their lines and aid in the development
of the agricultural resources of the State.
The only advantage one railroad would have
over another it would acquire by construct
ing the greater number of miles of road,
and no one will question but they will de-
serve that advantage. There is much that
is worth considering in this suggestion,
though it will hardly commend itself to
those who are anxious to gobble up the
lands for some pet institution or enterprise.
