SENATE.

The fight on the railroad bond bills was
continued yesterday. The regular order
of business was gone over until the Sen
ate reached, on third reading of bills, the
bill providing for the payment of the
bonds, when Senator Kinds sent to the
clerks desk sixteen amendments to the
bill and moved that it be recommitted to
the judiciary committee with instructions
to attach the amendments. The ball was
then opened in good earnest and the prog
ress of the bill was stubbornly contested
until a final vote was reached at s o'clock
in the evening. The amendments ap-
peared to be more for the purpose of
making history and putting the support
ers of the bill on record on some awkward
questions than with an expectation of de-
featingi it. Some very fine flights of Or
atory were INDUCED in by Senators Cas-
tie and Beeman in favor, and by Senators
Kinds, D. Buck and Powers in opposi-
ton to the bill. The bill as passed has
some Objectionable features, which will
doubtless be eliminated in the House, it's
champions being unwilling to risk further
delay by attempts at amendment in the
Senate.

HOUSE.

The entire time of the House was con-
sumed yesterday in committee of the
whole on the appropriation bills. There
was no discussion whatever on the insane
asylum bills, which were promptly recon-
mended for passage. The items of the
general appropriation bill for the years
1881 and 1882 called out considerable de-
bate. The smaller the item the greater
the talk was. There was most discus
sion on the items for the offices of the
adjutant general, and great deal of
ignorance as to the management and
duties of the office was displayed The
bill was finally recommended for passage
with a few amendments, which did not
materially alter the aggregate of the bill.
The bill making appropriations for the
State university also evoked considerable
discussion, but it was finally recon-
mended for passage precisely as it came
from the committee. The House will
conclude consideration of the remainder
of the appropriation bills this morning.

Smith and Eckl.art Sentenced.

AT the opening of the district court yester
day morning Judge Vanderburgh passed SEN
tence on two prisoners who plead guilty to in
dictments found against them. T. j. Smith,
who for the six months previous to his arrest
flooded the market with bogus checks, was
sentenced to two years and six months in the
penitentiary for forgery. Smith, who was
employed in the Trades mill and had the con-
fidence of his employers, used their check book
to aid him, and nearly caused John Mcneil,
who, from close resemblance, was arrested
by Detective Hoy, to spend term in the peni
tertiary. Smith has been married only six
months and his young wife is almost heart
broken.
A. w. Eckhart, who embezzled sos from
the Minneapolis book and stationery store, re-
ceived sentence of two years at hard labor.

Afternoon Session.

PUBLISHING THE LAWS IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
The House re-convened at $50 P. NJ, and
went into committee of the whole on the gen.
cral appropriation bill. When the item for
printing the laws in the newspapers had been
reached, Mr.. L. L. Baxter moved to amend by
inserting $4,000 instead of $4,000. He
stated that this sum would be needed in order
to avoid deficiency for the next legislature to
appropriate, and to prevent loss by the country
editors, who would be obliged to have their
orders discounted at the bank, and would
thereby suffer loss.
Mr. Norrish approved the amendment, stat
ing that the country editors got only small
fraction of the appropriation, the bulk of it
being monopolized by the publishers of 'pat-
ent insides," in St. Paul, for whose benefit the
appropriation was asked.
Mr. Mott, of Faribault, read a circular from
II P. Hall, which he alleged had been re-
ceived by country editor. The circular
caused a good deal of merriment. 1t was as
follows:
''To my Newspaper Brethren Though
have disposed of my ready print establishment,
| still retain an interest in connection with my
successors, in the publication of the laws, and
as l have not received your order as yet, /
should be glad TO have it now, no matter
where you may OBTAIN your sheets. / do not
need to assure you that shall labor as hereto
fore for "the old flag and an appropriation,
and we should all work together to prevent
any adverse legislation i think we ought to
ask for $4,000 appropriation, owing to the
increased number of papers in the State. Here
tofore they have been appropriating $4,000
per annum. With biennial sessions, an APP
preparation of $4,000 is equal to saving of
$4,000 in two years. We do not want to have
any deficiency A word with or letter to the
members from your district, simply suggesting
that the papers be let alone, will do good. I
will keep things well worked up at this end of
the line. Fraternally yours, H. T. HALL.

Mrs. DIR. Eliza Woods Proposes to Secure
Justice If She Has to Fight for 1t.

A very positive looking female with
gimlet eyes and calico hair called at the
police court yesterday and almost upset
the equilibrium of the modest Fairchild
who is noted for his tlmidity when ap-
preached by any of the lovely members
of the sex. The conversation between
the positive female and the modest clerk
was about as follows:
P. F., high falsetto-Is yer where you
give out warrants?
NJ. c., diminuendo-Yes IN.
P. F.-Well, I've been insulted by a
nasty whelp named Anderson, and III
make him smart if die for it..
NJ c., Observation-Disclosures the cause
of complaint?
p F., crescendo-Cause of complaint
Aain't you got no eyes in your old bill
liard-ball cocoanut. Young man, take a
look at me and then ask the cause of
complaint. Pretty question to ask a
woman that's been crushed as l have
The clerk cast sly look at the visitor
but failed to see the crush, when he said:
Beg pardon madam, but you see the
law
P. F.-Don't git off any yer fine
spun theories bout law to me; young fell
Ter, Pm here for justice.
NJ C.-Eh, yes, of course, but
p. FL didn't come here to be in
suited by an upstart, and I'll have you re-
ported to the governor.
NJ. C.--appealingly-Really, madam,
you misunderstood me. l want to know
what Anderson did to you.
P F-Almost choked for breath
What he do? He passed counterfeit
bill on me, and nearly broke my arm in
putting me out when threatened to re-
port him.
This was spoken so hurriedly as to be
indistinct.
NJ C.-misunderstandingly--Oh called
you counterfeit with strong will, x
actly.
At this juncture the P. F. approached
with the threatening aspect of war, and
the clerk hitched his chair back about two
feet.
Something was about to happen wher
the bailiff entered, and said that some
people had no respect for even Wash.
ington's birthday.
Determined to settle the thing, and
feeling his senses stagger, the clerk asked
her name.
My name is Mrs. Dr. Eliza Woods. and
l want Anderson arrested for passing
counterfeit bills and hurting my arm.
"All right" said the clerk; Mrs. Woods
VS. Anderson. 'sMrs. DR.. Eliza Woods

the clerk said yes'm.
After further parley it was learned thai
she had gone into Anderson's grocery
store, on Minnesota street. After max.
ing purchase, she received in change 6

asked for card, threatening to repor

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.
In Honor of the Distinguished Paterna
Relative of His Country.

Relative of His Country.
Yesterday being legal holiday in
Minnesota by legislative and national en-
actment, it was generally observed as
such by the patriotic denizens of St. Paul
Strange as it may seem, the wise and
mighty solons, by whose acts the holiday
was created, insisted upon holding regu-
lar sessions, and all for the good of the
dear people.
Still the day was quite generally OBJ
served and appropriately celebrated. In
the way of public business the only thing
on deck were the district court, which
ground away all day at civil cases, few
hungry reporters, with the most dismal
of outlooks for anything in the way of a
healthy item, land the bounding street car,
which trundled over the track and raked
in the diurnal harvest of nickels with the
same refreshing democratic zeal as on
any ether day
The public offices, with few exceptions,
were all closed. County Treasurer Rice
and Burton were on deck to accommo-
date the tax payers, and Abstract Clerk
Olivier was on time with the books of
record. The other offices, county, city
and federal, closed at noon. The banks
were closed, the men of figures gave the
interest tables rest for the day, while
many of the wholesale houses put up
their blinds in the afternoon, and called
it half day. In the afternoon the
people went to see M liss, and everybody
had good time.
Small boys were told the DER true story
of the little Ratchet, the hero worshipers
related many an anecdote about the man
who was first in war, etc., and the peanut
prince on the street corner had drive in
this somewhat dry, but unctious and oil
producing fruit. 1t was big day, and as
such was largely celebrated.

Afternoon, Session.

The presidents gavel had hardly fallen upon
the desk when Senator Kinds addressed the
chair, saying he desired to hear from Senator
D. Buck upon the general scope of the ques-
ton before he debated the amendments, and
wanted guarantee that they should be so
heard. He asked Senator Pillsbury if such an
opportunity would be afforded.
Senator Pillsbury said that so much time
had been consumed that he did not wish to
pledge the majority.
Senator d. Buck, being in his place, said
one objection he had to the bill was that it
provided for the payment of more than some
of the holders of the bonds preferred will
lingness to accept. When he came here as a
Senator he took solemn oath to maintain
the constitution, and he read from the manual
the, amendment forbidding payment of the
bonds without vote of the people. There
was nothing in the constitutional amendment
he said, violating the obligation of a contract
or interfering with vested rights; it only pro-
vided manner of proceeding relating to the
payment of the bonds. The Senator proceed
ed, saying that he considered the calling up oil
the question wrong at this time, inasmuch as
the question was not an issue at the election.
Who are the men who are here to overrun
this legislature ? He alluded to the farm mort
cages of Wisconsin obtained by persons known
as the Forty Thieves, and said that some
of the Forty Thieves came to the
Territory of Minnesota and worked
the matter through the legislature and goi
it ratified by the people by plentiful use Of
promises which were never kept. He tread
from statements made to the people by mem.
bers of the legislature that authorized the is
sue of the bonds, saying that when they
voted for the measure it was the understand
ing that no tax should ever be levied for the
purpose of paying either principal or interest

cost of the supplement sheets to the country
editor was about twenty-seven cents quire,
and cost them less than One-tenth what the
cost of setting the type would be. The coun-
try editors derived the greatest benefit from it
that could be procured without the interposi-
ton of the patent inside publishers.
Mr. Baxter stated that Mr.. Hall had no in
terest in the matter, as he had sold out his
establishment in January. He thought the
measure asked for should be granted, as it
would give the country publishers only about
S1OO each. He thought it bad policy to CON-
Del the publishers to wait two years for their
pay, for they would be subjected to great loss.
Mr.. Dunn didn't care who made a profit
from the publication of the laws-H. P. Hall
or any other man. He knew the great part OF
it went into the pockets Of the country editors,
where it ought to go. At to its utility, he
knew by his own experience that the bar of
the State had to depend upon these law sup
plements for copies of the laws passed by the
legislature for as long as six months. They
were not printed by the State for long time
after the close of the session, and during all
that time the lawyers were obliged to depend
upon the newspaper supplements for copies of
the laws. He was heartily in favor of the
amendment.
Mr.. Fletcher favored the amendment. He
thought it a very proper one. The country
editors deserved the small pittance that would
be allowed them under the law.
The amendment was lost by a vote of 25
to 80.
OTHER APPROPRIATIONS.
The bill for 1881 was increased by adding
for clerk hire to the attorney general 5000; for
the expenses of the State board of health, 81 >
600; for tree culture bounties, $1,000; for a
clerk in the adjutant generals Office, 81 200;
for salary of the military storekeeper, $500;
for the services of the State land agent already
rendered, 81 500; for compiling the legislative
manuel, $125. 1t was decreased by making the
appropriation for supreme court reports, $500
instead of 81 200; and by striking outthe items
of $3.50 for incidental expense of the adjutant
generals office and for the administration of
oath, $2S4.50.
The appropriations for 1852 were increased
81 900 for the expenses of the State board of
health, and $4,000 for wolf bouAties, and re-
duced by making the appropriation for SUI
preme court reports $500 instead of So, 400, and
by striking out the item of $4,000 for new
wing to the capitol.

considerable discussion, was recommended for
