Opinion by the Attorney General.

TO f. b. Thompson, ESQ.,, auditor of Crow
Wing county: De ar Sir: Your question as
to the status of thslt portion of Cass county
described in section l of chapter so of the
General Laws of 1888. This act is entitled
IAN act to change the boundary lines of the
counties of Crow Wing, Morrison and Cass. -
and provides for an alteration in the bound
airy lines of each of these counties. Bv sec
ton L, certain territory is to be detached
from Cass and attached to Crow Wing: bv
section 3 portion is to be taken from Nor
rison and annexed to Grow Wing and bv
section a piece is to be detached from Crow
wing and attached to aforrison. Section 4
relates to the subject of taxes and is import
ant as far as this question is concerned
1t is provided by section that the proper
officers Of Morrison and Crow
Wing counties shall give notice that at the
next general election ''te provisions Of this act
will be submitted TO the electors Of their said
counties for their approval or disapproyaI, -
and by section 6 that the voters in said
counties lin favor of changing the bonds
men OF said counties as herein before pro-
vided" shall vote ballot having thereon
the words as in that section stated.
1t viii thus be seen that though there are
three separate, distinct alterations proposed
to be effected in the boundary lines of these
countess ne of which effects Crow Wing and
Cass alone and does not concern Morrison
in any manner, the provisions of the entire
act are submitted to the voters of
both Morrison and Crow Wing.
Although | have serious doubts
whether this was proper course to pursue.
it is not necessary to consider or decide that
question. At the general election in 1888 a
majority in favor of the act was cast in Crow
Wing, and majority against it in Morrison
county. The act as an entirety, therefore.
failed of receiving the proper approval, and
the changes contemplated by sections two
and three, at least, never took effect. (Opiu-
ions of attorney generals, pages 26, a
and 3d.
Under these circumstances was the altera-
ton in-the boundary line between Cass and
Grow Wing, as proposed by section one. con-
summated. That is the question at issue.

ST. JOHNS VENOM.
He Splits it at the Grand Old Party in
no Uncertain Manner.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Dec. 12.-Rev. John
c. Hanna, of this city, has received letter
from ex-Goy. St. John, in which he says:
The whole story of the Republican papers
that l at any time in my life, either directly
or indirectly, proposed to sell out to the Re-
publicans, Democrats or any other particular
party or organization is simply one of the
many Infamous and malicious lies, for
which the Republican press, during the cam
paign Just closed, has been noted. If | had
desired to have sold my principles for money
CT office, could have done so years ago,
and would not have waited to have negoti-
ated with party that is morally and fnan-
cialy bankrupt In the late campaign the
National Prohibition party betrayed my ex-
penses, and gave to the cause my time and
labor without money and without price. l am
to-day and have been comparatively poor
man, too poor to be bought The Republican
party may burn me in efrigy and continue
its threats OF personal violence. 1t may open
its flood gates of falsehOod and utilization
and bitterness upon me, but it can never
swerve me one jot or title from doing what
my conscience tells sHe is right. The cam
pagn of 1888 has already begun, and the
warfare against the liquor tariff will be Wig
orously prosecuted, and the political party
that stands in the way of the movement of
the people will get hurt. The spirit Of intol-
erance exhibited by the Republican press to-
day is doing for that party just what the same
spirit did for the pro-slavery party thirty
years ago. Hanging men in efigy, indulg-
ing In falseho cd and vilifcation is not an
argument, nor will it, in this day and age of
free schools, Christian homes and free men,
scare any body or cause any one to abandon
their principles at the dictation of any politi-
cal party.

BOARD OF TRADE.
The Produce Exchange Annex-Reso-
IutiOns AdODted.

luOlOuS AuOpOcu'
Yesterday morning after the call the board
of trade held meeting, with President Hub
bard in the chair, for the purpose Of receiving
the report of the committee appointed a
week ago TO prepare and submit resolutions
upon the question of adding produce ex-
change to the existing board.
Mr.. Gilbert, for the com mittee on produce,
reported that it was their belief that the OBJ
ject sought could be more easily attained in
connection with the present board than by a
separate organization, and that they did not
think it advisable to change existing rules
30 as to admit any persons to the privileges
of the board except by taking membership
in the same. The committee recommended
the following resolutions:
Resolved That there be added to the board
of trade rules, an article requiring that pro-
duce and fruit shall be called daily at such
hour and under such regulations as the board
may direct.
Resolved, That on two days of each month
there shall be a special call Of butter, cheese
and eggs.
Resosed, That all articles dealt in Cd the
produce trade shall be graded, as far as
practicable, and that a com mittee be ap-
and submit them to the board for its ap-
proval.
Mr.. Stems moved that the report be adopted
as a whole; the report spoke for itself, he
said, and was easily understood, and conse-
quently needed no discussion.
Mr.. Gilbert explained that the question
had been generally discussed among the
members of the board of admitting outsiders
and retail dealers on payment of Sl2 year.
But the committee were unanimous upon
that question, and decided not to admit any
one except full members.
The president thought that question was
worthy the most careful consideration.
Mr.. Doran requested that the resolutions
be again read, which was done.
Mr.. Hoxsie wanted to know why the board
wanted to call butter, cheese and eggs twice
a month, especially if outsiders were not ad-
mItted to buy.
Mr.. Gilbert-Let them buy through their
broker.
Mr.. Hoxsie thought there were plenty Of
sellers. but he believed in letting the fence
down to outside buyers.
Mr.. Larpenteur said the whole question
had been discussed thoroughly and it was
foolish TO discuss it again. 1t would be the
means of causing discord and perhaps
break up the board. There is no board in
the country upon which outside people can
buy.
Mr.. Bohrer spoke strongly against admit
ting any one except members of the board to
trade on the board.
Mr. McNamee was also opposed to it, and
supported the resolutions.
Mr.. Stencils resolution was put and car
ried without dissenting voice. On motion
OF Mr.. Gilbert the committee was dis
charged.
Mr.. Grant moved that Messrs, Gilbert,
Bohrer and Hubbard be appointed a COM
mittee to frame proper bylaws for the regu-
lation OF the produce exchange in confor-
nifty with the argued resolutions. The mo-
ton was carried and the board adjourned.

Lecture by Hon. John B. Brisbin.

Hon. John B. Brisbin will deliver lecture
on 'Moses, the Jurisprudent," at Plymouth
church on Friday evening, December 10, for
the benefit of the Gospel Temperance Union
of st. Paul. Moses, whether as a man of
God, or as meditative sage, or as a sacred
historian, or as an inspired prophet, or as 2
heroic liberator and leader of a favored ma
ton, or as a profound and original legislator,
stands out alike az a wonderful man, not to
the eyes of the Jews merely, but to all en-
lightened nations and ages. The beneficiary,
the subject, and the reputation of Mr.. Bris-
bin, should fill the church. Tickets so cents
to be had at the rooms of the society, East
Seventh street, near jackson, aud at the door

tuition # is provided that ''all laws changing
county lines in counties already organized
shall before taking effect
be submitted 10 the electors Of
the county or counties al
fected thereby z#x and be adopted by ma
jority of such electors" Unless, therefore,
the submission and vote as hereinafter before
stated can be said TO be such q
submission and vote as is contem plated by
this provision OF the constitution, no change
has been wrought in the boundary lines Of
these counties. That it was not, it strikes
me, is apparent That the change as proposed
by the legislature is the change which must
receive the assent Of the voters, or in other
words that both the legislature aud the peo-
pie must unite upon the same thing is per-
fectly clear. That the approval or rejection
of con templated boundary must be, and
can only be, as comprehensive or as re-
restricted as the act proposing the change
requires it to be, must also, as IL seems
TO me, be admitted. IL so, when the
act proposes several changes, and submits its
provisions as an entirety, all the various al
terations must stand or fall together. Even
as to the legislative body itself, how can It be
certainly said that it would have submitted
the question of a change in the boundary
lines between Cass and Crow Wing discon-
nected from the other alterations therein
provided forl And the people having voted
upon the changes as prescribed 10 his lar,
how can it be claimed that such vote is 10
be regarded as an expression of their approval
Of the partial change provided for in section
1. 1t does not, / appreheud. follow as a
legal proposition that the approval OF a pro-
posal made up Of three several parts is 10 be
considered as several assent
to each OF such parts. am
of the opinion that the entire act
failed to become a law, and that the boundary
lines of these counties remain as before the
passage Of the law. Yours truly,

Attorney General.

THE PRODIGAI son.
Judge Burr Gives the Famous Person
Some Advice Other Dealings
. In Court T,rnck.

"This is sad case rockingham" said hiz-
zoner as George Abrisch faced the wall-eyed
goddess in the police court yesterday morning
The young mans father, a horney-handed
son of toll stood by his erring boy and a
tear glistened in his eye as the court gave
the young fellow some good advice.
George is bright lad of nineteen aud he re-
sides with his father on a farm a few miles
from this citv. The. other day the old people
sent him into the city with load of wheat,
No. 1 bard, which he disposed of, and also
the proceeds After selling the wheat he
started out to see st. Paul by gaslight, and
possessing himself with bottle of tan glefoot
and pot of paint, he proce eded to pencil
the landscape a beautiful crimson. The
money held out couple of days and as long
as it lasted his friends were as thick as flies
around sugar barrel, but when his
Doodle was gone the gang shook him.
Becoming uneasy, his father ordered a
section OF veal made ready and started in
quest of the prodigal. He found him peui-
tent and on his uppers, which is to say that
he didn't have red. After the court had
given him lecture and exacted q promise
of good conduct in the future, he was dis
charged.
How on earth an ungainly hoodlum like
Peter Mcbride could imagine himself a
masher Is one of the mysteries that m ust go
down to posterity along with the sphin and
other insolvabe secrets. He was arraigned
yesterday for the objectionable offense of
insulting the wife of highly re-
spected citizen, having had the monumental
gall to try to get into the sleigh in which she
was riding. The court gave him thirty DAYS
in the bastile where he will do the wood-saw-
ing act.
Peter Anderson had been on toot Thurs
day, and while half-seas over, he took pos
session of horse and bob sled on Missis-
slppi street and drove out on Rice street,
where he called on lady friend named Mrs.
Peterson The charge was disorderly, and
having been full at the time of the offense,
he was fined S25. He paid the scrip
Harry Richards is from the woods, and by
st. Paul, he now wishes he had STAYED there.
he came to the city few days ago, and after
blowing in the most of his Doodle for booze.
he bought even-shooter with the remainder.
Returning to the st. Thomas hotel, Thursday
night, he proceeded to shoot the peskv thing
of just for fun. The guests didn't take il
that way and he was yanked. The gun was
confscated and he was sent to the Joint for
ten DAYS.

Washed Away and Drowned.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-The officers of the
steamer Mason L. Weems, which arrived this
morning from the Rappahanock river, reports
fearful loss of life among the colored
oystermen of that river in the storm of Tues
day last. About twenty-five men were out in
their boats longing for oysters when the gale
arrived. The gale capsized the boats, and
most all of those escaping were unable to
reach the shore. The men were thrown into
the rough water and were unable to swim
ashore. Many cluDg to the boats for time,
but were finally washed away and drowned.
Very few escaped. Eleven bodies were re-
covered and as many more are missing,
scarcely any of whom can be hoped to have
escaped death.

BIG ENTERPRISE.
Establishment of Extensive Stock
Yards at ST. PauI.

Establishment of Extensive Stock
Yards at st. Paul.
Among the many enterprises either in ex-
istence or contemplated at the busy transfer
yards, there is one being rapidly pushed for
ward which will serve greatly to develop this
as great central live stock market, even in
spite of the petty, priggish opinions Of the
Minneapolis p. p. to the contrary. The
GLOBE has, from the first, maintained that
there is no better point on the whole eouti-
nent for large live stock market than this,
and every year is developing the accuracy OF
the GLOBES position. The enterprise now
under notice is that of Montana firm, who
are building immense sheds Immediately
south of the planning mills and sash and door
factory. These sheds are nearly completed
and when finished viii be used for
the purpose OF housing large focks
Of sheep, which will be brought down from
Montana and kept here and fed upon screen
ings aud corn till they are as fat as good
feeding can make them They will then be
shipped TO the seaboard aud taken TO the
English market. The sheds which occupy
two sides Of an immense Quadrangular yard
closed in Wa high board fences are ealeula-
ted to accommodate 600 sheep at the time,
and will hold double that number. OF course
sheep will be on sale to meet the local de-
mand, but the great bulk Of the fatted ami
mails it is at present contemplated
exporting. The gentlemen at the
head Of the syndicate which
has this scheme in hand are Messrs- KrOutz
and Remington, of BOzeman, Montana. To
day is Saturday; in just two weeks from to-
morrow the enterprising Minneapolis paper
printed on Third street will ''cateh on'' and
treat its handful of readers with the fresh in
telligenee of this new enterprise; the young
man detailed as flag to the GLOBE win
get round by that time. II took him about
three weeks to stumble" to the elevated rail
road, the sash aud door factory, etc, and be
may possibly be as enterprising this time.
