BEN BUT1ERs head is level in regard to
the much-talked-of education of the id1otlc
and feeble-minded. He is in favor of an
asylum for their care, but not for their edu'
cation, for he says well-fed and well-cared,
for idiot is the happiest being on earth
while one educated to realization OF his
condition is the most miserable. There
is common sense in this view, and the
would-be philanthropists who pirate SC
much about the duty of the state to edu'
cate this class might take few lessons
from Massachusetts new governor.

LeGisIQtire Notes.


Speaker Fletcher has appointed Charles
Hambleton, this city, and Frank Rsif,
White Bear township, this county, as pages
of the house. He has about 100 applica-
items from which to select the other three,
but he desires it to be stated that no other
appointment would be made from this city
or county.
Robt. Deakin, journal clerk of the
house, was telling intimate friends yester-
day good story on himself, not to be re-
peated of course. 1t appears that short
time before the adjournment of the house
Wednesday, the proverbial small boy came
up to his desk and asked: "Are you the
journal clerk?" ''Yes," answered Deakin.
We'll, l want your copy" and
Deakin handed him oyer
his journal copy. Two hours
later he learned that he had given the copy
of his house journal to the messenger boy
of the Ecening Journal, Minneapolis, to
which Office it had been sent. The conse
quence was that Deakin had to make a
night trip to Minneapolis to get his copy
30 as to have it printed in time for the
meeting of the house yesterday morning.
The house has already voted the usual
stationery supplies, daily newspapers, ETC.,
but as the yotingyof postage stamps in
wolves great moral question and civil
service reform, it has been deferred to
give members time to prepare themselves
to discuss it intelligently.
The hotels were not quite so lively last
evening, many of the members having tax
en- the evening trains out for the purpose
of passing the legislative recess with their
families. Of those still in the city the
majority will leave on the same errand by
the early trains to-day.

Canadian Business Eccentricities.

MONTREAL, Jan. 4.-The firm of III.
& Sons failed in 1875 and who re-
sumed, only paying their English credit
ors eleven shillings on the pound, paid up
in full on the LIST inst, costing the firm
$4,000, although they had no legal claim
on them.
In 1877 clerk named Trotter, in the
employ of Riddel Evans, this city, alb
seconded, taking with him about $4,000 be-
longing to the firm. He went to the Cape
of Good Hope, and there entered a firm as
book-keeper. In few years he became
juior partner and RENTED the amount of
his defalcation to lawyer here to pay
over to his former employers. The money
was lodged in court, pending litigation be-
tween the dissolved partners, and is now
claimed by Trotter's firm, he having been
convicted of forgery and sentenced to
seven years Imprisonment. He robbed
his partners and banks of S150.00o.

Gov. BUTLER holds that when a citizen
votes ut an election it should be regarded
as satisfaction of his poll-tax, as by Vot-
ing he discharges duty he owes to the
state. Some mercenary inducement may
be necessary to induce people to vote
though it is doubtful if the remission OF
the poll-tax will be sufficient. If all clsi-
zens voted at every election there would be
less cause to complain of bad government,
and any thing that Gov. Butler can do to
swell the polI-list will be step in the
direction of good government.

TIE Sny1T0BI4L SITU4rrON.


+ There has been very marked change IN
the confidence of the Window men during
the last day or two, and there is no longer
that confidence which they INDUCED i'll at
the beginning of the legislature. From be-
ing fipper and gay, Gen. McLaren looks
solemn and anxious. The Window men
begin to concsde that certain things may
happen, if there is no caucus.
Heretofore the caucus was treated
as mere piece of party machinery
to be complied with, and net as an essen
tial because they had a majority OF the
whole legislature. Now the air is full of
the importance of being loyal By going in
to The caucus. Tn, party organization
must be preserved Is the appeal now going
up all around from the Window camp
The alarm has become SO great that there
is no concealment of it.
The anti Window forces, are, of course
correspondingly buoyant. They declare
that Window needs at least twenty
more votes to carry the cauc US, if one is
held at ali, and further add that every ore
os the anti-Windom party are pledged TO
act independent of caucus dictation.
II outside indications go for anything
Mr.. Window very far from occupies
a bed of roses. The announcement
of the Hubbard movement
in yesterdays G1osH. created con.
stsrnation in the Window camp. The pro
factors of the movement did not design tc
have it reach the pubic at present, but
they had net counted zpon ths penetration
of the Q1osA The Sssrst once out, they
determined to make the best of it, and il
the current talk Hubbard vas very largely
counted as the coming man.

THERE were rumors yesterday that Sen
ator Window had been telegraphed tor
but no one seemed to positively know
Having taken the position that ne will re-
main at his post, they cannot now change
front without a show of weakness. His
friends curse the heightened plan which
prevents his personal presence to look
after matters. It is getting SO that they
feel that the promise of offices needs to
be ratified by the boss himself. Second
hand promises do not secure votes.

THE woman suffragists of Massachusetts
will be grievously disappointed with the
stand Governor Butler has taken. He was
thought to be in favor of that measure,
but it proves otherwise. He says IN MS
message that women should be allowed to
vote if majority of them shall decide at
a special election that they wish the priv
lege. No surer way to defeat the propo-
sition could be devised than to allow the
women to decide it.

The house was called to order at lib.
Prayer by the chaplain, Rev. DR.. Dana.
Mr.. Brown, of Blue Earth called atten-
ton to section 80, article 4, by which
viva voce voSe is requisite in the
election of officers of the house, and sug-
gested that an election by reclamation as
in the case of the chief clerk, whohad to
sign bills, ETC.. was not legal.
The speaker decided the point well taken,
and upon motion Mr.. Collins, of Stearns,
the roll call was called upon the election of
chief clerk, and ]. r. Howard, of Stearns,
the Republican caucus nominee, received
all the votes cast, ninety-two in number,
and he was then sworn in.
Mr.. Child, of Jackson, raised the point
that in the case Of other elective officers
the roll should also be called.
Mr.. Hicks, of Hennepin, replied that
while doubt had been raised as to the
legality of an elestion by reclamation, be
had DO doubt on the point, bat to remove
all doubt, it had been thought best to elect
and swear in the chief clerk. 8
With this explanation the matter was
allowed to drop.
The resolution calling upon the secre-

utes of 1878, and the session laws
