amount, can surrender his bonds and cou-
pons and receive therefor land scrip CT q
corresponding amount. If he wishes the
actual land he can take, at the appraised
figures, what he desires and pay for it with
his scrip. Or if he does not want the land
he can put his scrip upon the market and sell
it to those who do desire to become possess
ors of the soil.
All interest on the bonds ceases when the
act is approved by the people. The land
scrip neither draws interest or is taxable, but
the moment land is taken with the scrip, the
land becomes subject to taxation. If the
legislature should approve and the people
adopt this measure, it would not only settle
vexed question, but it would be one of the
greatest immigration movements ever inau-
gurated. Every holder of scrip would either
become a land owner himself, or would seek
to make some one else land owner. The
scrip would necessarily go into the market
and be picked up by those wishing to secure
farms In Minnesota. It is measure which
the people of the State ought to endorse as
an aid to immigration if nothing else.

THE SENATE.

fair business day was witnessed in the
Senate yesterday in the number of bills in
troduced, the number passed, and the num-
Der considered in committee of the whole.
Among the bills introduced was one pro-
vldlng for the disposal of the 100000 acres
of internal improvement lands, and to en-
courage settlement Upon the same. The
bill contemplates the payment of the State
railroad bonds by the issue of land warrants
in exchange for the bonds, which warrants
may be located upon these lands. The bills
appropriating money for the general
state expenses for the years
1879 and 1880 were passed, and
also number of others of importance
and general interest. In committee of the
whole, although considerable number of
bills were passed upon, there waa DISPOSE
ton to defer the more important ones, and
the bills relating to savings banks, tramps
and Migrants, defining and Furnishing va
grants, forest culture, delinquent taxes, relief
of seed grain borrowers, salaries of State
officers, and the duties of executors, were
laid aside. An effort was made to fix the
salary OF the clerk of the supreme court at
vi 900 per annum in addition to his fees, but
determined opposition had the effect to de-
fer action on the bill fixing the salaries of
State officers, that Senators might have an
opportunity of informing themselves upon
the prospect of the clerk being able to make
respectable living out of the fees of the
Office alone.

LAND SCRIP FOR BONDS.
a NEW PLAN FOR SETTLING THE
OLD STATE RAILROAD BONDS.
Memorial to the Legislature by tho st. Paul
Chamber OF Commercial Proposition to
Issue Land Scrip for the Old Railroad
Bonds and Apply the Scrip on the $780,
900 Acres of Internal Improvement


The following memorial and accompanying
bill was presented in each branch of the legis-
lature yesterday morning:
To the Honorable, the Members of the Senate
and House of Representatives of the State of
Minnesota.
The memorial of the chamber of commerce
of the city of st. Paul respectfully represents,
That action in the settlement of the State rail
road bonds, upon fair and equitable basis, is
indispensable to a restoration of the credit of
minnesota lnasmuch as the charge of repudia-
tlon is daily made against her as home and
abroad. Your memorialists leaving out entire
~ the question of morals, and viewing the sub
ject from financial and business standpoint,
are firmly convinced that the prosperity of the
state Will be greatly promoted by speedy adj
Justment OF all differences connected with the
outstanding obligations referred to- As their
only hope that this contamination can be
reached within reasonable time, your memo
rlallsts beg leave to submit for your consider
alton the draft Of bill providing for the paw
ment OF the bonds with the 100000 acres of
internal improvement lands almost identical
with that passed in 1870, which received
the approval at the subsequent election of the
voters of the State, and only failed in conse-
quence of a provision that 1000 of the 2.275
bonds should be deposited by a day specified.
thus placing it in the power of {. comparatively
small number of bondholders to defeat the set
Element by Withholding from the surrender
contemplated by the law. Your memorialists
believe that the people OF the State are vet
prepared for settlement on like terms. and
that the bondholders, who have been SO long
kept in suspense, will accept them as their only
hope OF receiving anything, and your m EN- rial
lists would deem any adjustment of the matte,
at issue as far preferable to further inactior
and delay. Your memorialists respectfully
pray for the passage IF the bill presented here
with, and Its submission to the popular vote
and as in duty bos2nd will ever pray etc.

ENGLISH GRAIN.

With a Falling Off in Imports, a Slight Adj
vance In Prices is WORTHWHILE the Mar
kets Generally Show More Activity.
LONDON, Feb. rs. The Mark Lane Eupress
says business has been somewhat frmer with
an advance of shilling per quarter on sound
home grown wheat in few country markets.
The arrivals from abroad have been light,
except of flour, last Mondays returns show
ing only $4,000 quarters of foreign wheat,
while the subsequent supply up to Friday had
not reached 10000 quarters, chiefly Ameri-
can, Russia sending us nothing. The course
of business throughout the veek has been
quiet but steady. Speculation is wanting,
but consumption continues. Prices are
fully maintained for all descriptions of wheat.
Russian varieties advanced pence to a
shilling per quarter. Sales were not very
numerous, but the tendency has been to-
wards a rise rather than fall and trade lost
much of languor prevailing for some
months. Rather higher rates have been de-
manded for maize and inquiry was thereby
checked. Barley, oats and other feeding
corn were dull, but late rates were maintain
ed. Sales of English wheat were $50 quar-
ters, at 81 shillings pence per quarter,
against 1896 quarters, at 50 shillings 8
pence per quarter during the same period of
previous year. Imports into the United
Kingdom for week ending February Is,

IN IDIOTIC IDEA.

For few minutes yesterday little inter-
est was excited at the capitol by the follow:
ing paragraph in Des Moines letter to Bill
Kings paper:
saw in the Pioneer Press formidable list
of swamp lands in the State of Minnesota
which the Legislature proposes to turn over to
railroad companies. If those lands were grant
ed to the State by the act of Congress of Sep
TENDER, 1850, the legislature of Minnesota Will
learn by referring to a recent decision of the
United States supreme court, American Emil
grant Company VS.. Adams county, Iowa, that
they cannot appropriate swamp lands to any
such purpose. The legislature eff Iowa passed
law authorizing counties to appropriate their
swamp lands to railroads. and the supreme
court says it is void, and all contracts made
under it are void, and the county officers and
persons parties to such contracts are confeder-
ates IN fraud upon the United States govern
ment. Although the law of the State provided
that those who took the lands should take them
subject to the act of Congress, and release the
State and the county from all liability under
the act of Congress making the grant to the
State the court says this proviso Is void for the
reason that the State cannot accept indemnity
from private persons for breach of trustee
ship; that the State cannot thus throw off an
express trust.
very few minutes suficed to show that
WV L
lands are given direct to the counties in Iowa,
and Adams county gave deed in escrow to
the American Emigrant company, to be de-
llVered on condition that the company per-
formed certain acts. The conditions were
not complied with, but the deed was sur
reptitiously recorded, and suit was brought
to set the deed aside. The court dismissed
the suit, and the county then tried to tax the
land, and the assessment was declared to be
void, it being held that the decree of the
court in dismissing the suit was proper.
That is all the suit of Adams county, Iowa
against the American Emigrant Company has
to do with the validity of Congressiona
swamp land grants. There would be az
much sense and connection in announcing
that man was guilty of murder because he
attended prayer meeting.
