delegation.
IN COMMITTEE OF HE WHOLE,
Senator G.. F.. Buck in the chair, Sena tor
Reaney offered a 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 SUBJ
ject and who are to report to-day at 8 o'clock.
The bill providing for constitutional conven-
ton was recommended to pass. Mr.. Mealeys
bill relating to the grading of wheat coming
up, that gentleman suggested that as it would
be better TO let it 60 over 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 bis bill was IF
the nature claimed by Mr.. Rahilly. He had
pledged his constituents to endeavor to do
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 something should be done to abol-
ish the brass kettle. and that dissatisfaction
would prevail If something was not done. This
thought it ought to pass. There were objec-
lions 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 to
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 for
this bill one day.
Senator Fl. B. Wilson said he wanted an OPP
portunity to abolish the brass kettle. He
thought it was the greatest humbug of the
times, but he wanted opportunity to vote
for its abolition.
Senator Castle said if the bill was not got to
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 crowding
this matter, but he did not want to return to
his constituents until something had been
done for their relief
Senator Doran wanted the bill read, and
asked it there was provision made for fixing
the market price Of wheat?
Senator Castle moved to amend by striking
out that portion Of the bill giving tine COM
planning witness portion of the fine collected.
Senator 81. B. Wilson said that it was ex-
pected that something should be done upon
this subject, and he thought that this bill
and warehousemen.
Senator kahilly said that the bill provided
that the mode Of filling the tester was left to
the State inspector, and wanted to know if
any one supposed there was the ghost of a show
that the inspector would FIJI the Kettle in the
interest of the agriculturalist.
Senator Adams endorsed the bill in the name
Of the 10000 people of Dakota county who had
waited all the session for the tester committee
to report a bill for the abolition of the brass
kettle.
Senator Hill said that section seemed to
him to have another drive we'll in it. Under
its provisions the inspector of wheat might in
vent contrivance for filling the measure and
compel its use at whatever price he should
choose to demand.
Senator Doran said we had representative
farmer in the person of MI. Rahilly and he did
not want the bill passed in opposition to his
protest. AS an act of courtesy to the gentle
man he wanted the bill to be laid aside. There
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 I'M
