The Congressional apportionment
bills have failed both in Congress
and in our legislature. In the for
mer the bill passed the House for
319 members but it failed in the
Senate for the want OF time to con.
slider it. Our State Senate passed
the apportionment bill under what
is known as the Peterson plan, con.
shutting five districts, and of
which Brown county was to be a
Part of the Second district, but the
House agreed to disagree with the
apportionment of the State as pro-
posed by the Senate and the bill fail
ed. How this failure of the legisla-
ture to provide for the election Of
five Congressman to the next Con.
gress will affect our State is not yet
quite clear, but we suppose that
three of them will be elected as
heretofore and two by the State at
large. This will no doubt be done,
as we do not believe that the Cover
nor will call an extra session Of the
legislature for the sole purpose of
passing an apportionment bill.

true Minnesotian with undisguised
signs of delight.

Southern Wisconsin, northern
Iowa and portions Of Illinois and
Michigan had a very severe snow
storm last week, commencing on
Wednesday evening and continuing
on the folio wing day. Most of the
railroads were blockaded, many of
which would remain so for days.
Dispatches from Madison say that
it was the worst storm ever expert
enced in Wisconsin. Nearly three
feet of snow fell, and a fierce wind
blowing all the time, the snow was
piled up in drifts from 10 to Is feet
high. The drifts across some Of the
side walks were so deep that tunnels
were dug through in many places.

THE BOND SETTLEMENT.

The Senate bill for the settlement
of the old Minnesota State railroad
bonds passed the House last Tuesday
by vote of65 to 80, and the bill
received the approval of the Cover

OF the Supreme court will first de-
eide whether the legislature has
power to provide for the payment,
adjustment or settlement Of the liza.
biIity of the State on said Minneso-
ia State railroad bonds without sub
uniting the matter to vote Of the
people, notwithstanding the
amendment to the constitution If
the decision be against Tie validity
of the constitutional amendment,
then there shall be issued new bonds
to bear date July l, 1881, and shall
be of the denomination of $1,000
each, and shall IL payable after ten
years and not more than thirty
years from their date, at the option
ofthe State, with interest at the
rate Of 5 per cent. per annum. The
State auditor shall deliver to the

Washington Letter.

~o '~S - w. - SA~5 ~~0~
If Republican members of Congress
simply cared for party capital
they could ask for no more
striking exhibition of incompetency,
Bourbonism, and unpatriotic cond u c
than is furnished and is being furnish.
ed by the House during the present
session. Having higher ambition
than that, there must be something
of regret and something of contempt
mingled with their feelings towards
the Democratic party. Iu the first
place, it is majority that has never
been able to assert itself as majority.
Then, if by any chance, more Dem.
ocrats than Republicans happened to
be present, the measures insisted on
were so indecent that enough patriot
ic Democrats were found to vote
with the Republicans to reverse the
standing of the parties. Day and
night sessions were held, for instance,
to force through an unconstitutional
and unfair resolution concerning the
electoral count. So they have been
to force through an Apportionment
bill which gives confessedly, all the
advantage that can be given in an
Apportionment bill, to the States
which few years ago were in rebel
lion and which for fifteen years have
been engaged in all effort to suppress
the vote Of onethird, the only patriotic
third of their voters. In both cases
legitimate and necessary legislation
has been delayed for the purpose of
furthering objects that ine.tenths of
the people Of tho North believe to be
''npatriotic and unfair.
Besides, every effort to help in any
way the commerce which benefits the
whole country, or the industries
which are alike beneficial to the
whole country, has been fought des-
perately, while bills which peculiarly
aided the Southern States, though
objectionable in many respects, have
been pushed by the whole party.
The citizens Of Washington intend
to give an Inauguration celebration
on March 4th such as has never been
seen, and as will be hard to excel
hereafter. They know the man, like
him, and will on the 4th of March
testify to their feelings. Even what
are known as Bourbons among Wash.
ingtonians are contributing their
money and exertio,.s towards making
the day a memorable one. They do
it heartily because of a person
al liking for the President elect, and
partly because they believe his cleo.
ton, his wholly unquestioned election
and his personal good qualities and
conservative political tendencies en-.
sure such an administration as will
promote the business interests oil
this country and therefore benefit
its capital. They will welcome him
as no president has ever been we'll.
coined before:
Before this letter is in print it is
quite likely that the names of al
President Garfeld's cabinet ministers
will be known, but now only 6 days
before he becomes. President, it is
certain that no one here processes tc
know the name of more than one Of
them. The secret, if a selection has
been made has been we'll kept. Con
versation with men Of all parties anc
from all sections of the country dever
ops the fact that there is a universe

How Screws Are Made.

The process of making screw is
very interesting. The rough large wire
in big coils is, by drawing through
hole smaller than itself, made the size
needed. Then it goes into machine
that at one moment cuts it a proper
length and makes head on it. Then
it is put into sawdust and "rattled''
and thus frightened. Then the headi is
shaved down smoothly to the proper
size and the nick put in at the same
time. After "rattling" again in saw
dust, the thread is cut by another ma
chine, and after another rafting and
thorough drying the screws are
assorted by hand (the fingers of
those who do this move almost liter
ally like Legitimacy, crossed by weight
and packed for shipping. That which
renders it possible for machines to do
all this is little thing that looks like
and opens and shuts like goose's bill,
which picks up single screw at time,
carries it where needed, holds it until
grasped by something else, and returns
for another. This is about the most
wonderful piece of automatic skill and
usefulness have ever seen, and it has
done it's distinctive work at the rate of
thirty-one screws minute, although
this rate is only experimental as yet;
ninety-three gross per day, however,
has been the regular work of one ma
chine.-hovideace (R. I. Letter to Utica
