THE SENATE.

Nothing of startling nature transpired
yesterday in the Senate, though it was a
busy day, and 81 eat deal of important work
was disposed of in committee of the whole
and much more laid aside for future con-
sideration. The first bill upon which there
was fight was that providing for the ap-
polntment of county assessor by the chair
man of the board of supervisors, the county
auditor and the judge of probate. This bill
was holly debated until the close of the
morning session, when it was laid aside for
future action, there being no prospect of
agreeing upon the bill without very material
changes
In the afternoon the first bill to distress
the Senate was the bill suspending penalties
for the non-payment of taxes upon real
estate, and substituting an interest penalty
of 2 per cent. per month. The bill sought
to relieve the farmers who have suffered loss
of crops the past year, though it's provision
| can be utilized by all real estate owners.
| Amendments were offered reducing the in
terest penalty to one or one and half per
| cent. by Senators having rural constitu-
encies, while others, especially members of
| the finance and tax committees, could see
nothing IN the bill but an entire cessation of
| the payment of all real estate taxes and con-
sequent disaster and bankruptcy to the State
and county treasures. It was laid aside.
The discussion of the bill to convert the
proceeds of the 100000 acres of internal i'm
provement lands into permanent road and
bridge fund, was started with vigorous oppo-
sltion, and it was speedy withdrawn to
serve as a bone for future contention.
The bill appropriating So 500 to aid the
Anti-Drive Well association to fight patent
claims was recommended to be indefinitely
postponed, but when the committee rose that
recommendation was not agreed to, and it
lays on the table.
The bill proposing to impose license of
$1OO per month upon itinerant medical prac-
titioners and vendors of drugs and medicines
was laid aside

THE STATE PRISON CRUELTY 3D.
MITIED BY THE OFFICI1LS.

MlTIED BY THE OFFICIALS.
Whatever may be the character of the re-
port, or reports, of the legislative committee
investigating the charges against the State
prison, there is no longer any question as to
the verdict of the unbiased general public
upon the distinct charge of cruelty. That
verdict is guilty as to deputy warden Hall.
The significant feature in connection with
the prompt finding of the verdict by the gen.
eral public, is found in the fact that it was
only fully reached after Hall himself,
against whom the principal accusation was
made, and one of his most enthusiastic de-
tenders and apologists, Frank H.
Lemon, had made their sworn
statements before the committee. In this
respect, the instance affords most striking
illustration of crime working out its own de-
lection.
Halls glib recital of the extra dungeons
prepared by him for the punishment of con.
victs, his self complacent and unctious de-
scriptlon of the bull-ring tortures inflicted
upon the man Boyle, and the fendishness of
his parting remark as he closed the door OF
the torture pen upon that unfortunate being,
that his life was hanging Literally hanging
in the balance, the result of which was of no
consequence to him, Hall, furnished all the
evidence requisite to convict him of being
thoroughly brutalized and unfit for the posi-.
ton. But while such has been the effect OF
Halls story, fully corroborative of all the
charges made against him by his victims
there is sill ground for sympathy for the
man, and cause for hope that in some othe,
business, and surrounded by more

Labor, new organization just formed, seem
to have succeeded to the principal part of
the vices of the Mol]ies and but few of their
virtues, if they had any. The new organi-
cation seems to have been conceived in
anarchy, brought forth in defiance of law,
and nutured in spirit of rebellion against
the constitutional order of things. It may
yet prove as dangerous to life and liberty as
did its predecessor.

much tor weak lungs and delicate nerves. A
good cigar is less offensive, but from an old
pipe good Lord deliver u.s. Please, gentle
men, smoke at home and prohibit others from
smoking in the public offices under your charge.

passed to secure the passage of an act applying
its provisions to that county.
Senator D. Buck thought the bill would be
OF no practicable utility. The assessor would
appoint deputies in every town, who would be-
the cheapest men he could get, and the result
would be an incompetent lot of assistants.
The nearer the Office can be brought to the peo-
pie the better. There were also serious legal
objections to the bill, which would make it nu-
gatory.
Senator Wheat hoped the motion to indefi-
nitely postpone would be carried. He thought
the people competent to select their officers,
and the assessor should not be appointed by
officers whose salary depended upon the
amount of assessments, as was the case with
county auditors.
b. M. Wilson thought the bill ought not to pass
unless some public good could be attained, and
he did not think the measure would bring
about satisfactory results.
The bill was laid upon the table.

THE HOUSE.

The session of the House yesterday was
simply farce. Nothing was done that
could by any stretch of the imagination be
called business. There were few reports
of committees at the morning session a
somewhat tedious discussion followed on the
bill abolishing the Office of railroad commits
sioner, and number of bills of an import
ant nature we're intro duced. Then wran-
gle ensued as to whether an adjournment or
recess should be had. After motions had
been made and amendments acted upon, it
was decided to take recess to o'clock, 43
voting in favor of that proposition. When
the House reassembled in the afternoon it
was found that there was no quorum pres
ent, and two calls of the House were re-
quired to bring one forward. It was re-
marked that but twenty-five of the forty
three who we're SO anxious to proceed with
business at the close of the forenoon session
made their appearance during the afternoon.
There was nothing done at the afternoon
session worthy of remark save the indefinite
postponement of the Senate bill to donate
the capitol construction lands in Kandiyohi
county to the village of Willmar.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Judge Keils, of Alabama,
who now occupies a clerkship in the Treasury De-
partment, has related to a TRIBUNE correspondent
story which has never appeared in print
Judge kells was born and for about fifty years
lived IN the State OF Alabama. He was educated in
the law, and having attained some local prominence
he was elected by the Republicans to the udgeshlp
of the City Court of Eufaula. a court which had
jurisdiction throughout Barber County. He filled
this position nearly five years. ana IN 1874 at the
Congressional election he became "a candidate for
election TO the same place.
Terrorism was rampant IN the South at that
time, and at Spring Hill Precinct, IN Barber County,
the Confederates had threatened to kill anyone
who should 90 TO the polls to interfere" with the
election. That was then one of the Republican
strongholds. and 1t was suspected that mischlef OF
some kind was intended in order to invalidate or de-
stroy the vote. During his canvass in Barber
County, Judge Keils had been accompanied by his
son, pucky little fellow of sixteen, and Oh
