language was unparliamentary, but he was
brought up too far south to tamely submit to
such taunts from the Senator or anybody else.
He was in some sense reDudiator, that

answer Senator Powers speech,
but in his present physical con-
dition he would have to repudiate the promise.
ence to choking off the opposition, and paid
Senator Kinds high compliment for his con-
tinuity in debate, which he had never seen ex
ceeded but once in all his experience. He did
not believe the Senator from Scott or the Sena-
tor, from Blue Earth believed one word they
said. He made this statement out of courtesy
to them, because he believed they were too
able lawyers to seriously believe the doctrines
they had preached. The Senator then alluded
to prophecy he had made thirty-five years
ago of the development of the West, and drew
glowing picture of the fulfillment of his
prediction, and saying that no one could ex-
aggerate the future of the State of Minnesota
We were now at a critical period of our his
tory. He wanted the State to be
honest. He wanted her reputation
as pure as the rays of the star of the north.
He asked Senator D. Buck if he meant to say
the newspapers were bought up.
Senator D. Buck said he had made that al
fusion to some Eastern papers on former oc
casOn.
Senator Beeman did not believe it. He did
not believe Chamberlain had money enough.
Continuing, he said that the people needed no
urging to vote for the issue of the bonds. The
State stood as trustee and it stole the trust
and left nothing to pay the bonds with. Under
the constitution every man is entitled to a
speedy hearing for wrongs suffered
against his person and his
property, and here is Mr..
Chamberlain, who for twenty years has asked
for hearing of his claim and the State has
not granted it. The Senator said great deal
had been said about the Obiter dictum of Judge
Dillon, and grew eloquent upon this point,
saying that an obiter to the effect that a negro
had no rights that white man need respect
had been the cause of the most stupendous war
of modern times, costing hundreds of thou
sands Of precious lives and laying tax upon
the people Of the United States of $4,000, O00,-
600. So much for an Obiter.
Senator Pillsbury moved the previous ques-
ton, the same being the motion of Senator
Kinds, to recommit the bill to the judiciary
committee for amendment Twenty eight
Senators seconded the motion.
Senator Kinds motion was then defeated.
Ayes, 13; nays, 81.
Senator Pillsbury moved that the bill be
placed upon its third reading and final passage,
and upon that motion he moved the previous
question.
Senator Kinds raised the point of order that
the bill appropriated money, and must be re-
ferred to the finance committee.
The President overruled the point of order,
saying that it was not in his power to refer to
the finance committee at this stage of the bill
