SENATE.

In the Senate yesterday a good days
work was done, Though the greater por-
ton of it was of private or local charac-
ter. Senator Wilson introduced bill ap-
propriating $1,000 in aid of the academy
of natural and social sciences of Mime
sofa, and one to promote moral and So
cial science in the public schools. Sena-
tor Tiffany introduced a bill declaring
all railroads in the State public highways
and TO prevent such companies from car
rying on any business other than that of
transportation. Senator &. D. Gilillan
introduced a memorial to Congress ask
ing for an appropriation of 81 ,000,0 900 for
the improvement of navigation on the
Mississippi river, which was passed under
suspended rules. Senator d. Buck pre-
scented communication from Prison In
spector Reed relative to his reappoint-
ment by the governor, which created SO
much excitement that Senators paid but
little attention to the subsequent proceed
Jugs. The letter is printed below.

There was little of interest at the fore
noen session of the House yesterday. The
time was occupied in.tbe transaction of
routine business-the introduction. read

temoon was occupied in committee of the
whole, that safety valve without which,
it is to be feared, some of the members
would blow up and vanish INTO thin air
because of an overcharge of suppressed
eloquence. The occasion was improved
to the utmost BY score or so of the Rep
rcsentatives, no opportunity for speech
being overlooked. On the bill changing

Our Senate report develops the fact that
. controversy has sprung up relative TO
the confirmation of L. E. Reed as one of
inspectors Of the State prison. 1t is
especially noticeable from the manner in
which Mr.. Reed meets it by demanding
that he shall not be condemned
unheard. We are glad TO see
This point raised. Executive ses-
sions of the Senate are star chamber
affairs, where a man may be riddled with
no possible chance to explain or defend
himself. There is no other similar tri-
bunal in existance and it is time that this
relic of barbarism should be abolished as
cowardly and unmanly. There may be
good reasons why the appointment of
an individual should be consid-
cred without the interposition
of the general public, but there is no
good reason why the party under GEN.
sideration should not be heard. MIR.
Reeds letter, which appears in the Sen
ate reports, raises new but just issue
Mr.. Burt was rejected day or two ago
for the position Of Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, without hear
ing. When the grand jury
renders n star chamber indictment
the accused is still granted trial, but
the executive session machine convicts
and guillotlnes at the same time. This
is little too tyrannical for free coun-
try. The merits of the present contro-
versy the GLOBE does not essay to con.
slider, because it is not informed as to the
issues, but in the interest of fair play it
advocates a hearing in all cases. Mr.. Reed

THE memorial for an appropriation for
the improvement of the Mississippi river
passed by the Senate yesterday, should
receive the concurrence of the House
without delay. The Congressional COM
mittee on commerce yesterday reported
the river and harbor bill, but left the
amount for the Mississippi river blank
until all other streams and frog-ponds
had been cared for. The Importance of
improving navigation on the Mississippi
should be kept prominently before our
Representatives at Washington until ia
vorable action Is had.

that the law as 1t stands at present pro.
hibited the farmers from killing game, as
during the hunting season they were too
busy with harvesting to go cunning, aud
by the time they could find time for
little sport the limit had expired or
the game had become too wild to kill.
Their arguments proved convincing, and
the bill was recommended to pass. 1t
simply changes the inhibition of shoot
ing till two weeks later in the season.
The bill reducing the fees of sheriffs for
boarding prisoners also evoked debate.
Some held that sheriffs were max
ing too much money; others
claim that as the boarders were not
the most select in the State the sheriffs
were entitled to compensation according
ly, especially as they ran the risk OF get
ting their heads punched while they were
carrying food to the prisoners. The rate
was finally fixed at 50 per week, and the
bill recommended for passage The bill
reducing the legal rate Of interest to s
per cent. afforded opportunitysfer dis
cussion of over an hour in length. All
the arguments for and against low rate
of interest were repeated score of times.
The committee decided in favor of its in

THE ApPoRrIoNMENr Committees

Speaker Fletcher, of the House of Rep
resentatives, yesterday appointed the spe.
cial committees of that body created by
various resolutions, and among them the
House portions of the joint committees
on legislative and Congressional appor-
tionmcnt. While the Democrats of the
House expected but little consideration
on these commIttees--the only ones hav-
ing political bearing that have been APP
pointed during the session--they expect
ed and we've entitled TO receive a better
representation than has been accorded
them
At the election last fall the Democrats
of Minnesota cast an aggregate vote of
53,315, or more than two-fifths of the to-
tnl vote of the State. 1t would appear to
those who are unblinded by partisanship
that this large fraction of the people
should have a proportional rep
reservation both in the leg
stature of the State and in
the Congress Of the United States They
are not, however, to receive this repre-
sentation, for the committees have been
constituted with view to gerrymander
cf the State which shall fix legislative
districts in such manner as to give the
minority party as few members of each
house as possible, and to the arrange
ment Of Congressional districts so that
no Democrat can hope for an election to
Congress for the ten years to come. The
chairman Of the committees is man of
considerable ability, but a narrow parti-
san, who considers any means whereby
Democrats can be injured or disfranchised
not only justifable but praiseworthy.
Some eff his associates arc somewhat
more liberal in their views,
but the majority will fall into line
and support whatever scheme may be de-
vised for the Acknowledgement of the
nfty-three thousand Democrats of the
State. From such a committee Demo
Gratis need hope for nothing whatever
They and their interests will be sacrificed
without computations of conscience
led, as il were. like the lamb TO the
slaughter
The Democrats of Minnesota are accus-
toned TO defeat al the polls. and the day
is probably far remote when they can
hope with any degree of confidence to
change the political complexion of the
State. 1t is apparent that the
present legislature does not propose
10 hasten that remote contingency. Yet
perhaps it may unwittingly do so BY go
ing too far in It's effort to obliterate the
party entirely. There is a sense of jus
tice innate in the human breast that leads
10 sympathy for the weaker party in every
fight, and If rank injustice is done, as
seems 70 be contemplated, the reaction
among the people will be very apt to
overwheln some of those wip may be in
strumental in working this injustice.
The GLOBE will not ask the committee
to deal Justly with the Democratic party
in the matter of the reappor ionment of
the State. for ii recognizes the fact that
it would be useless TO do So 1t would
suggest. however, that the Republican
party is in position to treat its oppo-
ncnts fairly, without in the least impair
ing its own supremacy. An honest
apportionment of the State, which shall
give each party the proper representa-
lion in the legislature and Congress,
