1t is probably natural that every
member of the House should wish to
introduce some bill in order to make
record, but it would be well if
some of them would take time to
consider the effect their laws. might
have, if passed. We notice some one
anxious for fame, has offered an
amendment to the homestead exemp-
ton law, to exempt all grain and pro.
ducts Of eighty acres. The law now
exempts enough grain for bread and
seed and to keep team one year,
leaving the surplus, Gf any liable
for debt. AS long as the most of the
business Of this country is done on
the credit system, it is necessary to
have some property liable for debt in
order to get credit, OF in lieu thereof,
security is generally demanded. The
effect of the amendment would operate
as direct tax on all honest men who
wished to purchase anything and did
not have ready money to pay, as the
seller would require a chattle mort
gage, and the purchaser would have
that much more to pay for.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
Gordon E. Cole Makes n Mastery Argu-
ment Upon the Payment Of the Old
Railroad Bonds at the Instance Of Neiah
Chamberlain.

Gordon E. Cole Makes Mastery Argu-
ment Upon the Payment Of the Old
Railroad Bonds ut the Instance OF Seiah
Chamberlain.
Last Thursday, Hon. Gordon f..
Cole made a mastery argument at
the instance of Selah Chamberlain,
for the payment of the old railroad
bonds, and submitted proposition
from that gentleman for the legisla-
ture of this State to ponder upon.
The proposition is that iMr. Cham.
berlain agrees to deposit all the bonds
held by him, which is 1000, repre-.
senting one million dollars of princi.
pal. in the hands of the State Auditor
to be held by said officer in trust,
until the legal liability of such be
determined by the Supreme Court of
the State. If the Court sustain
their legality, then he will take SO
per cent. of his bonds in new bonds
of tho State running thirty years at .
per cent. interest, the interest paya-
BILE semi.annually. If the Court
renders an adverse decision, then he
will authorize the State Auditor to
cancel his bonds, he receiving moth.
ing for them. This is the whole
proposition in nutshell, and appears
frank and honest upon the face, but
we are not in favor of any proposition
being accepted by the legislature that
would deprive the people of the right
Of voting upon it. Let the matter
be presented in all its bearings, both
sides heard, and then the intelligence
of our voters will determine upor
what shall be done.

The bill recently introduced in the
Senate by Senator Buck, providing an
equitable assessment of property,
contains some valuable features.
Heretofore double assessments have
been made upon property that was
encountered, and this bill is designed
TO remedy that matter, by equalizing
the assessment so that the property
owner who has mortgage upon his
premises will not have to pay tax
upon only the valuation that IS above
the incumbrance. To make the mat.
ter more plain. Surprising farmer A
had a farm valued at 81 900, and had
mortgage upon it of $500, this bill is
designed to only assess the farmer
for $500 instead Of 81 200, the holder
of the mortgage being assessed the
other $500. This would greatly re.
iieve the farmer, for while he is pay.
ing oftentimes large interest upon
the mortgage, he is also overburden.
ed with large tax, the two items
together making burden that has
swamped more than one hard work
ing man.

Old Settlers Reunion.

The sixth annual reunion of the
old settlers of st. Peter and surroun-
ding country met ut the Nicollet
house last week, and an extra good
time was had. The exercises con-
sisted in reciting early events and
music, responding to toasts, short
speeches, etc. About 800 persons
were present. The Andrews family
furnished choice music at the hotel,
while. Prof. Bard's orchestra, of Ely
sain, furnished the music for the
dancers at the court house. About
sixty couples were on the floor. The
supper was superb. Taken all in all,
the sixth reunion of old settlers was
among the best they have ever held.
Where is the old settlers Of Blue
Earth county. Why don't they be.
stir themselves and make the woods
ring with their fish stories and won.

The appropriation bill for $4,000
to pay for the repairs on the Normal
School at this place, has passed the
Senate and House and only awaits
now for the Governors sanction.
1t is finally agreed or understood.
that the ratio of apportionment Of
the State will be 5000 for Repre-
sentative and 10000 for IA Senator.
This will reduce Blue Earth county
to three Representatives and leave
the Senatorship as it is.
There are numberless schemes for
securing grants OF swamp lands
owned by the State, to be used for
railroad purposes. The State has
already voted away 1851 1856 acres,
and has now on hand only 100000
acres.
Senator D. Bucks bill to repress
and punish disorderly conduct in
public conveyances, has passed the
Senate.
Representative Northness of Fari.
bault county, has introduced a bill
amending the Constitution relative to
the grand jury system, abolishing
the system. This amendment, ii
passed. will, in our mind, prove a
very beneficial act, for the grand
Jury system is a humbug and entails
great expense upon every county
We hope the system will be abol-
ished.
Prof. o. V. Tousley has been ap.
pointed and confirmed as State Super.
intendent of Public Instruction, in
place of David Burt, removed.
DR.. f. J. Davis of Blue Earth

The ladies of Minnesota are in
earnest in regard to being allowed a
voice in voting upon all questions re-
lative to the manufacture and sale OF
Intoxicating liquors. We append
below a petition presented by them
asking the legislature to so amend the
State constitution as to allow them
their request.
Believing it is reasonable, right and best
that women, us the guardians of our homes
and loved ones. shall be protected against the
wrong, the danger and ruin resulting from
the traffic In strong drink, do most earnestly
pray your honorable body to submit to the
qualified voters Of the State an amendment
to article seven "a Of the constitution, pro-
viding that women Of the age of twenty-one
years aud over may exercise the right Of suf.
frage on all questions pertaining to the man
ufacture and sale Of intoxicating liquors in
the State of Minnesota. Weask, further, that
the statute known as the ''local option law
be so amended as to apply to all cities and in
corporated villages in the State, as well rs tc
townships.

EAGLE LAKE.

The winter of 1881 will pass down in
history az ore of the most disastrous
for business within the memory Of the
oldest inhabitants The wood trade,
which is practically the backbone OF
this place, is practically at stand still.
The wagon roads are blocked with huge
drifts in every direction.
Last Thursday, the Sd, in response to
a call by our business men, forty-two
Eagle Lake veterans, armed with shOvels
crackers and blind herring, boarded
the first train west to assist in eXcavat-
ing the huge drifts on the railroad
that were thrown up by the terrible
hurricanes, the monarchs of the western
prairies.
Having seen the road cleared as fal
west as Sleepy Eye, we returned, only
to know that but a brief time elapsed
ere the cuts were full as ever.
While crossing the street the Other
day we picked up the following
Whether it be the unpublished works OF
the lamented P. p. Bliss is not stated
but is supposed to be of some local sig
nifcanee.

And his wonderous powers of mind.

CHORUS.
Sing, oh sing, Of Mike Organ,

For he came from Tippery
And babe his native land farewell.

Thus in triumph he advances with his mott

Sitting Bull.

This willy old warrior Of a thousand
battles has engrossed the attention of
our government for some considerable
time, and occasionally caused it not
little trouble. To keep pace with
the old warriors movements and re.
port them correctly, the Pioneer
Press has dispatched a correspondent
to his lair who writes thusly of him
and his band:
IN CAMP WITH IIGEs' COLUMN At POPLAR
RIVER, NJ. r., Jan. 81, by Courier to Fort Bu-
ford, ID. T., Feb. 2.-The band Of hostile Indi.
ans, under the Chieftains Good Bear, Crow
King and Big Shirt, which broke away from
Milk river, arrived here last night under the
guidance Of Scout Allison. Tho savages, al
though delaying their journey beyond the
supposed time, displayed no desire to turn
back and Join their fortunes with those Of
their fugitive leader; and any fears which
may have been entertained OF an attempted
escape have disappeared. The army wagon
train, which went out to meet them Oh the
2sth inst, ,came upon the party about fifteen
tional transportation the Indians succeeded In
reaching that agency on the following day.
They were allowed to remain there two days,
which enabled them to trade on the few
robes In their possession for flannel goods
and blankets, of which they were sorely in
need. The provisions left in store for them
at that point by MAI Iiges wore distributed
on their arrival.
1t has been demonstrated that Scout Allison
measured ;their wants very carefully, as he
based all his calculations for their surrender
upon his knowledge oftheir imperative needs.
1t was his belief that no portion OF Sitting
Bulls following would attempt escape again
into Canada, as he knew there was no game
in the country. Starvation alone awaited
their return to that region. He was not sur
prised, therefore, on discovering the greater
portion of the band had refused to go north,
and is yet of the belief that the warriors who
followed Sitting Bull and that chief himself
will be forced to want to return to American
soil before the end Of another four weeks.
During Allison's stay In this camp of Indians
while It was located short distance south Of
Milk river, two runners from Sitting Bull
came in and stated that when they left
that warriors village 1t was pitched in the
forks of the Porcupine, about thirty miles
south of the boundary line, and they corrob-
GRATED stories about the needy condition Of
the fleeing band, though in an intensified way.
The snow was SO deep as to almost stop their
progress, and their ponies were dying for
lack OF provcnder, and were killed and eaten
by the tribe as rapidly as they gave out. Sit
ting Bull was intent on going to Woody
mountain, and was firm In his belief that
Major Walsh would meet him there in person
and relieve his wants.

The duties of the licensed sur
veyor are defined. He is required to
do his work with care, and
properly record the same and work
50 done is legal and binding. Only
licensed surveyors are eligible to the
Office of county surveyors. The
main points in the bill are to make II
possible to establish farm boundaries
to save the government corners which
are so rapidly disappearing, and &c
have some State authority to whom
the surveyor can look for aid anG
counsel in the perpleXing cases which
are continually arising. Something
of this nature has long been needed
and we hope the bill will become ;
law.
