THE SWAMP LAND DIVIDE MAKES
IT'S APPEARANCE.
The Bill Cracked Through Under Suspen-
sion of the Rules-The Boom Bill Calls
Out tho Walls OF Lord Hicks Wrath, But
He Gets Defsated-A Host Of Business
Transacted.
THE SENATE.

Yesterday was productive of the most stu
pendous results in the Senate of any day of
the session. The swindling brass kettle was
disposed of by the passage of the bill intro
duced by the joint specisl committee on
wheat grading, which had previously passed
the House, and about sixty other bills, a
great proportion of which we're of a general
nature. The wheat grading bill which passed
was managed by Senator Williams, the Pro-
hibitionist, and be received many congratu
lations for the mastery manner in which he
conducted the fight which resulted in the
prohibition of the further use of the brass
kettle in the State, if the bill receives the
sanction of the Governor.
For number of days past there had been
rumors that there was to be introduced a
stupendous 'woodchuck" bill for the divid-
ing up of vast quantities of State lands upon
the State institutions, for the reclaiming of
overhowed lands, for the aid of railroads and
for other public uses. Last night the scheme
was fully developed by the introduction Of
the bill as substitute for number of bills
previously introduced for the same purpose.
Expectation had been wrought up to high
pitch, but when the bill was read no one
who was opposed to the measure seemed to
know what to do, or have anything to sly,
until the rules had been suspended by vote
of 20 to and the bill read second or third
time, when lengthy de-
bate set in, during which the
the measure was excitedly denounced by its
opposers as steal, and as vigorously de-
Tended by its friends. Some effort was made
to defer consideration of the bill until to-day,
and some parliamentary skirmushing was
resorted to, and at IL O'Clock vote was
taken, which resulted in the passage of the
bill by vote of % to IA.

Cincinnati Special to Chicago Tribune.
The crisis in the affairs of tho Archbishop
ments. The German Catholic organ, the
Volk$frsu,ad, now estimates tho debts IS, 900,
600, and the actual assets at $90, 1000, or nearly
per cent. 1t is said that the Archbishop and
his brother, Father Edward Purcell, are as
much annoyed at the situation as anybody
else. When the run of depositors began the
latter was poitive that s500,00O would be the
extreme limit of liabilities. BE kept no books
and had no adequate conception Of the true
state of affairs. The examination by the
trustees who gave up the money we're princi-
paliy Germans, and that those to whom the
money was lent were persons of other national
tiles. The Germans, therefore, are loudly
calling for an explanation of what has become
Of the money. The Voltstress'ad says: "Affairs
have reached point where new course must
be taken. creditor has brought suit to recov-
er his money. Should other suits follow, there
would be hardly anything left for the Arch
bishop to do but to make an assignment. In
the opinion of many, this would be the simplest
way 10 untle tne gOrdlan Knot, and let light
into darkness. It could then be discovered
what par5 of the money went for church OBJ
jects, and at the same time decision could be
obtained from the Supreme court regarding
the liability of church property" To-dey's
A5end Post, whose editor is Roman Catholic,
says: 1.-THE Archiepiscopal indebtness will
certainly reach $1,000, 900, if, as one of the
trustees has said only the claims of tho residents
Of Cincinnati have yet been handed in
The editor states that he knows of many for
n,er Cincinnatians who have removed from the
city, but who continue to hold heavy claims
against the Archbishop. Nothing has been
said of late about the lottery project. Express
sions of public sentiment are so decided as to
leave no doubt of the impossibility of
obtaining repeal of the present anti-lottery
laws.

it by giving away the other half, We pursue q
wise business policy. Grant that the lands
would increase In value if held, it would be
a slow advancement, and the loss by the delay
would be q hundred times over the
gain resulting from the increased value
Of the property. AS to whether these
railroads will be built, or whether they
exist on paper only, it is not necessary to
argue. If on paper, they cannot obtain the
land. If they comply with the conditions
and build the roads, we can well afford to
part with our lands.
The greatest advantage which this State
has ever obtained Is from the munifcent
grants of land which have secured our
present railroads. Without those grants
we would not have thou
sand miles of railroad in the
State to-day. The generation of to-day
would have gone down to their graves with
out seeing anything comparing with the ad-
vance which ! we now have obtained.
If this omnibus bill secures even few miles
Of railroads 1t will gay heavily to make the
donation. As business proposition the bill
ought to pass.

THE OMNIBUS SWAMP LAND BILL.

THE OMNIBUS SWAMP LAND BILL.
The long talked Of omnibus swamp land
bill was launched in the Senate last night,
and the rules were suspended, enabling it's
prompt passage. It will appear in the
House this morning, and a similar effort
will be made to crowd it through that body.
The delay has been caused by efforts to
harmonic conflicting interests, and SO far
as the Senate is concerned, at least, the work
was we'll done. Whether an equally strong
combination can be secured in the House
remains to Be seen, but the friends of the
bill claim even greater relative strength in
the House than in the Senate.
AS usual there is a cry of 'ssteal.' The
bill parcels out some seven million acres of
land, and there is the suspicion, which is
natural, that because it is 50 stupendous
there is something wrong in connection
herewith. In some INSTANCES this cry came
from those, who, like Senator Hill, honestly
oppose all land grants, but in the majority
of cases it is made by those, who, like Sena.
tor J. B. Gilfllan. sought to secure the
whole amount, and failing, oppose the en-
tire division. There is great deal of hum
bug and clap-trap In this latter style of op-
position. The lands belong to the people of
the State. The people desire i'm
movements, and they use the lands
10 secure them. The lands can
not be obtained unless the improvements
are made, and if the improvements are made
the people can well afford to give the lands.

Although the Governor neglected to take
any action on the report Of the Senate COM
mittee that Investigated the St. Peter Insane
asylum, and which showed up conclusively
the loose management, if not criminal neg
ligence of that institution, the Senate has
taken different course. Senator Rice in
troduoed a bill revolutionizing the whole
management, and the committee to whom
it was referred reported back bill equally
effective and equally sweeping in its work
ings. Fhe bill was recommended to pass by
unanimous vote and there is little doubt
of its final passage in the House. All of the
trustees, including the oriental Bartlett and
the pious Kerr, are legislated out of Office,
and the act empowers the Governor to ap-
point five trustees to manage the institution.
The action of the legislature will be heartily
Endorsed all over the State, and the thanks
of the people are due to Senator Doran and
the other members of the investigating COM
mittee who showed up the rotten ulcer that
was eating up $]25,oO0 of the peoples
money without responsibility or account
ability.

If we were not convinced that the present
method of giving the universal public the
results of our representatives labors in the
legislature in the most expeditions and salts
factory manner ard at as little expense, we
shouldn't have word to say. The readers
of the country papers expect and are eager
to see at the earliest possible moment what
new laws have been passed, thus to know
how their interests have been affected.
In short, they want to know what their SER
wants have been doing, and this is their only
means of knowing, because they cannot
watch their doings day by day. Besides,
they foot the bill, and are perfectly willing

ject US to twice or thrice that sum for bun

Our State legislature is again experiencing
one of its usual economy spasms. The
chief hobby of some of the members on this
point now is to repeal the act providing for
the publication of the laws in the newspa-
pers. Without the laws are published there
is scarcely one in hundred voters, or one
in five hundred persons that will ever see or
have chance to read any OF the laws passed,
and that is perhaps what some of cur legis-
lators want. Perhaps some of them are
ashamed of their own work, and if they are
not they ought to be.

The publication of the laws at the close
of each session, is of the utmost importance
to the people at large, and by this means
only can they learn the results of the labors
of the legislature. Any attempt to do away
with this beneficial policy is unwise and un-
called for. Nor is it to be expected that the
papers would be willing to publish them at q
loss to themselves, which would be the result
should the proposition to reduce the appro-
priation required, be adopted. AS it is, no
newspaper can afford to do the work for the
money, therefore the combination, to save
themselves.
