Filibustering in the National Senate.

rllIUUSlcIlNS Ill IhO A>o'io'"i oS''"oo'
We had some memorable iilibustering
in my day. | remember one night when
a great contest in the Senate, over GER
tain bill, eliminated in twenty hours OF
work. The majority had determined
that they would sit the bill" out that
night. So they assembled in force,
ready to pass it whenever they might see
their chance. The minority were also
on hand. Both sides were nearly cx-
haustcd. As the hands of the clock ap-
preached the hour of midnight, there
was scarcely Senator in the room.
remember that Senator Merriman led the
minority; Senator Logan 'watchcd" for
the ma jority. Senator Mcrriman had
the floor, with the unlimited privilege of
continuous debatcpermittcd by the rules,
and he seemed prepared to talk forever.
But occasionally he paused to allow
another member Of the minority to make
IL motion to ad iourn, upon which the
''yeas and nays would be ordered
! And the clerk will call the roll.'
Those words were the signal for action.
"Call up the Senator's" cried Senator
Logan; "call up the Senators" came
from Senator Merriman; "call up the
Scnatorsm ~ echoed Captain Bassctt. This
is how we pages call them. Each of us
would rush around through the various
rooms and give one of these sleeping
Senators little tap, shouting ''lcas and
Naysw and dart away to find another.
Sometimes dozen pages would waken
the same Senator. In fact, we usually
ran in a line-all together.
Soon the sleepy Legislators could be
seen creeping into the chamber from all
directions, half awake, with dishcvelcd
hair, and presenting woe begonc ap-
pcarancc generally. They would me-
chanically cast their votes, the motion
to ad iourn would be lost, Senator Merri-
man would resume his speech, and the
other Senators, except the "watchers',
would again vanish as mysterlouSly and
as noiselcssly as the soldiers of Rodcrick
Dhu. When he had given them me to
fall asleep, he would again yield the floor
to motion to adjourn, and the perform
ance would be repeated.
During all this speech making, mos
of the minority were asleep. They de-
pended upon Senator Mcrriman tas most
of the mljority depended upon Senator
Logan and their other leaders, to wake
them at the proper time. They relied
upon him to do all the talking. lie was,
as say, prepared to do it. But nc made
a mistake. lie remembered the courtesy,
but he forgot the rules of the Senate
He had been yielding the floor to hls
friends whenever he saw fit, and re-
suming it again after they had said what
ever they wished. Senator Logan at last
intcrfered. lie raised the "point of Or
der" that the Senator from North Carolina
could not speak "morc than twice. on
the matter then pending. Senator Mcr
riman stood aghast The presiding
officer sustained the point of order.
That is where the decentralization of
the minority seemed to begin. At ten
minutes past seven o'clock A. NJ, .hc
majority passed the bill

Ayery1nterestIng Exhibit,

Next to the fine exhibition of live stock
at the state fair the exhibit of farm
machinery and agric ultural implements fol-
lows III Importance. There are shown sample
implements and machines OF every kind
and in finer display, probably, than was
ever before shown at one time in the
Northwest. Prominent in this display is
the exhibit of the st. Paul Storage, For
warding and Implement company. This
firm has erected fine building, 50x100 feet
in size. constructed carefully and substan-
italy and elegantly finished. This they

driving sulkies, hay rakes, hay tedders,
gang plows, sullzy and walking plows, corn
cultivatorS, harr0WS, wind mills, corn
shelters, feed mills, mowers, hay
rickers and ladders, seederS, drills,
sleighs, cutters and III fact every article re-
quired in tirst-class implement house.
OF the quality of these articles it is un-
SO high reputation thatany article found
beneath its roof is known to be frst-class.
This business was established by Mr.. VIII
liam NJ. Bushnell and under energetic, yet
prudent management, has grown to be the
largest of its kind in the Western states.
The exhibit by the St. Paul Storage, For
warding and Implement company has nat
urally attracted great deal Of attention
and the building of the company has been
the center of interest for farmers. The
gentlemen of the company have had the
pleasure of meeting hundreds of their reg
ular customers and thousands of their
friends and have enjoyed very large trade
during the fair, Notwithstanding the rainy
weather. They invite all their friends to
call upon them at their offices and ware

The Fair Next week.

Owing 70 the rain yesterday and the con-
seqUent pOstponement of the big special
program of st. Paul day, the fair will be
continued for two days next week. The
entire exhibit will remain intact, and with
good weather the last two will be the most
important days of the exposition. st. PauIs
day viii be Monday, and the special fea-
lures that We're announced for yesterday
will then occur. These will include the
formal dedication of the grounds
and the presentation of them TO
the managers OF the state board Of
agriculture, the military drill. the lacrosse
game and the races, the program of the
latter to be precisely the same as had been
billed for yesterday except the
2:30 class trotting. The fireworks, which
were to have been burned on Wabasha hill
last evening, viii also be set off Monday
night. On Tuesday the program OF races
will be quite long and embrace some
interesting events, as an endeavor will be
made to finish on that day the entire list of
track events billed for the week. A special
inducement has been offered by the railroad
companies which will make excursion rates
Of l cent per mile throu ghout the state.
The management is confident that the
success of Monday will be such as to leave
little to regret at the pOstponement of the
most important events Of the fair until next
week. The grounds will not be
opened TO the public on Sunday.
Regarding the fact that the
exhibitors. some Of them, have entered their
displays at the Southern Minnesota fair the
managers say it will make no difference, as
all will consent TO leave them until Tuesday
night, and there will be no occasion for
them to exercise their reserved right of
holding them until the close of the fair.

ANOTHER BAD DAY
A Flosd of Rain Makes it Necessary to

1t was really too bad, after having made
Eli the preparations and done all the hard
work in advance, and hung up all the good
purses for the races for St. Paul day at the
fair. that the rain should descend and the
floods come and spoil the whole thing. But
disappointment is the lot of mOrtalS, and
the best laid plans of mice and men are
bound to miscawy. The only lesson that
can be learned by the trial is that the time

Those who gave up tickets at the turn

A good attendance is hoped for to-day,

Afterthe SaIoonkeeners.

The blind goddess took crack at the
blind pig yesterday. There are said to be
about a dozen sites where the animals are
housed, and the authorities of Rose town
ship have taken pains to get up evidence
against them. Pat Conley was the first
man taken in. and as Hon. G. D. O'Brien
happened to be near his services were re-
tanned for the defence. The defendant
pleaded not guilty, and his counsel with
much dignity and with the preface that he
would treat the court with as much respect
as the supreme court, applied for a change
of venue. This was granted after some
hesitancy by Justice Moss, and the case was
turned over to Judge HOyt, also of Rose
township, who continued it until this after
noon at o'clock.
E. Nelson of Minneapolis was the next
victim. He promptly plead guilty and Judge
Hoyt as promptly nailed him Tor SO and
costs. He then made great plea for
mercy, saying that he had been unfortunate
in the business, having lost $500 since he
had opened his place.
Judge Bass-You knew that you violated
the law didn't you?
Nelson-Yes; but I thought I would
make enough to pay my fine, and SO l didn't
care.
Judge Hoyt-Fifty dollars and costs.
And they were paid.
A. J. Sexton was also called before their
honors, and liquidated by giving up S25
and costs.

AID FOR THE SUFFERERS.
An Appeal for Help for the Cyclone
District


WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, O., Sept.
11.-HOn. John Little, congressman of the
Eighth district, who has been here since
Wednesday noon, furnished the following
to the papers this morning: 1.-The destrGc-
tion here is not so generally sweeping as at
jamestown, but it is vastly greater. The
general course of the tornado was from
southwest to northwest, through the long
way and center of the city. Its general
width was about six hundred feet, with oc-
casional breaks to the right or left. In its
course of a mile and half in town it is the
exception that any square escaped injury.
In most Of them, damage to property is
marked and some fearful. The business
portion suffered most. The injuries ranged
from the shattering of windows to every
stage of demolition. If single house in
this portion escaped harm have not no.
ticed the exception. In two blocks alone
practical men have estimated the loss to
buildings at 500, 300. The damages to
goods on these will not fall under $50. 900.
No class of property escaped. Dwellings
OF all kinds, public halls, churches and
school houses fell prey to the storms fury.
The individual losses, as shown by the es-
Inmates of the committees, viii exceed a
quarter of million.
THESE ARE TOTAL,
as they are not covered by insurance. They
fall largely but not most disastrously,
upon business men. The devastation will
be most seriously felt by the poor, who
have come in for their full share. I should
say as many as forty houses occupied by
poor families were utterly demolished. The
relief committee estimate, for all the SUBJ
committees have not reported, that 100
families will need assistance because of
losses incurred. Some of them, as l know
from personal observation, are rendered
destitute. Numbers of them are on the
streets in borrowed clothing. The busi-
ness men as a rule will be heavily burdened
10 make their own necessary repairs. Aid
for the suffering poor must, therefore, come
from outside sources. 1t will require many
thousand dollars to alleviate and prevent
suffering, and there should be no delay in
furnishing it. There is reluctance among
citizens to ask for outside assistance. They
should not be required to ask. It should
come without the asking, and come gener-
ously. Winter is close at hand, and the
relief committee is a most excellent
one, and viii have all it can do
with all need funds for the necessitous
cold weather. Every dollar that is sent to
the chairman, Col. II. 3. Maynard, Wash
ington, G. Il. will be conscientiously ap-
piled to the relief of the needy poor. trust
the necessity for prompt assistance will be
appreciated.
