UNCONSIDERED LEGISLATION

short discussion took place in the
House yesterday on the expediency of pass
ing local bills without scrutiny at the request
of the members from the localities affected
It seemed to be the opinion of the majority
present, that they had no business to ques-
ton the propriety of passing bills in which
only single section was interested pro-
vided the bills met the approval of the
members Offering them. Even the linn tied
experience they have had at this session
ought to convince them of the error of such
position. Nearly one-half of the bills pre-
sented in both houses thus far, have been
designed to amend some local law that has
been passed by previous legislatures in slip.
shod shape. Had these laws been rightly
scrutinized when originally acted upon b,
the legislature, there would have been nc
necessity of taking up the time of the pres
ent members.
One great evil of our system of legisla-
ton is the want of care displayed in the
preparation of the laws passed. It is sell
dom that one can stand the test of years
wear. Almost as soon as they are declared
to be In force, some defect is discovered
which makes it necessary to apply to the
legislature for relief. This is more especially
the case with local laws, which have hereto
fore been passed without reference to COM
mittee and with no inspection by men com
petent to judge as to the wisdom or legality
of their provisions. Hence it is that fully
half of the time of the legislature is con-
sumed in rectifying blu nders that have been
committed. by the preceding general assem-
bly, and there is not sufficient time left in
which to attend to the legitimate work of the
session. This fault should be remedied
without unnecessary delay, and the present
is good time TO begin. We can appreciate
the delicacy of members who shrink from
interference with matters that concern
neither themselves nor their constituents,
but we hold they owe higher duty to the
people of the whole State which ought to in
duce them to lay aside their personal prefer
ences and go about all business in an intelli-
gent manner. No measure, no matter how
insignificant upon it's face, ought to be-
passed without due inquiry as to its expedi-
ency and completeness. An imperfect law
is disgrace to the legislature, whether it re-
lates to the most vital or the most insignifi-
cant subjects-the appropriation of millions
or the definition of the boundaries of a
school district. We trust. therefore, that
greater care than heretofore will be taken to
have all acts passed by this legislature as
nearly perfect as may be, SO that the next
session may not be consumed in rectifying
the defects made this winter.

The organ of the investigating committee
the st. Paul GLOBE, does not publish the reply
of the hospital trustees, but of course abuses Il
and all connected with it. Now Mr. Hall lust
for once do the fair thing, and let your readers
see what the trustees and Mr.. Kerr have to saw.
Let them judge whether the trustees or the
GLOBE have misrepresented the matter. As
the publisher Of newspaper, you cannot do
less.-St. Peter Tribune.
The GLOBE did not print the trustees and
Rev. Kerr's reply, because they were ungen-
tlemanly and indecent enough to supply a
copy to other papers without sending it to
the GLOBE. A representative of the GLOBE
called upon the editor of the Tribune while
the report was being put in type, and re-
quested copy for publication in this paper.
He was refused copy, but was informed
that the trustees would forward COW
simultaneously with it's transmission to the
Governor. Great care was taken not to send
it to the Governor until it had appeared in
the Tribune at st. Peter and Bill KINGS
disreputable sheet in this city, while no copy
was ever forwarded to the GLOBE. Because
the GLOBE believes man rascal il will not
deny him a hearing, and even the rascallv
trustees of the insane asylum would have
been welcome to the use of the columns of
the GLOBE for their "vindication,'' if thew
had been sufficiently we'll bred gentlemen to
observe newspaper rules. On the rule that
"birds of q feather flock together it is nat
ural that the rascally managers of the insane
asylum should adopt Bill King as their or
gan and examplar, but they can rest assured
that the GLOBE never accepts cold victuals
fer news.

DELEGATE CANNON has fired off his mouth
at the supreme court for deciding Tat Con-
gress has constitutional right to forbid the
Immoral practice Of polygamy. He is afraid
that if the law is enforced it will result in
making majority of the women of the ter
ritory concubines and their children illegiti-
mate. Well, what else ere they il fact? He
hopes that those now living in polygamy
will be allowed to continue in their sins, and
the law only enforced as to those who here
after contract such marriages. It won't
work, however, for the only way to break up
the endowment house is to punish vigorously
all who have violated both law and morals.

THE FREEDMEN'S BANK.

There is not in the history of the country a
more shameful record than that of the
Freedmen's bank. Organized at the close of
the war under the protection of the govern
ment as means of controlling the votes of
the negroes of the South, it established
branches in all the principal Southern cities.
The colored people were induced by prom
ises of large interest to deposit their savings,
and in an incredibly short space of time
line of deposits reaching up into tho mill
ions was accumulated. Managed by politi-
clans, it soon became the recognized prey of
all the Adventures of the national capital.
Men without means, though possessed of po-
htical influence, were able to borrow large
sums on wholly insufficient security. When
Jay Cooke failed in 1878 it was found that
he was largely indebted to the Freedmen's
bank. This caused run upon its funds.
EARLY in the conflict its doors were closed,
and the deluded negroes have ever since
been whistling for their money. But one
dividend of fifteen per cent. has been paid.
But its record of Encouragement di d no
end with the closing of its doors. BY direc-
ton of Congress three commissioners, with
a salary of three thousand dollars each,
were appointed to wind up it's affairs.
| They were politicians, of course, and have
apparently cared nothing whatever for the
depositors. During the five years that have
elapsed, they have succeeded in collecting
81, 420,392, but of this amount $3l8,753
have been expended for advertising, lawyers
fees and salaries. The deposiors have
received nearly an equal amount,
and the balance is being retained
and loaned out for the profit of the
| commissioners until it can be eaten
up in fees and salaries. It is generally con-
coded that the depositors will never receive
another cent, and indeed they have aban-
doned all hope of again seeing any part of
| their hard earnings. From the inception of
the scheme down to the present time, tue
Freedmen's bank has been barefaced swim
dle-a scheme designed to rob the poor col
ored people of the country for the enrich.
ment of lot of political dead beats aud
scalawags. The managers and their particu-
lar friends have grown rich on the proceeds,
bat they are the only persons who have prof
tied by it. The affair is more disgracefu]
because of the fact that the government in
effect was the sponsor of the ill-begotten en-
terprise. 1t was organized under an act OF
Congress, and officers appointed to manage
it under the pay of the government. Con.
gress essayed to wind up it's affairs, but only
succeeded in giving a few men an oppor.
tunity 10 steal what little remained of its
assets. As Congress is in manner response.
BILE for the existence of the swindle and fol
its perpetuation, it could do little less thar
take the matter in hand now and endeavor tc
secure to the depositors what little remains
of their millions Of deposits.
