\ representative of The FREE Press
has recently approached the members
afthe legislature from this county upon
ihe extra session issue; and below we
present brifley the sentiments of each.
Senator Fletcher: There is no need
- lit. In my opinion no matter of pub
lie interest is suffering To an extent h a
Will warrant the leyying Of a tax of half
a mill on the whole state, which would
he necessary TO defray the expense Of
IN extra session.
Mr.. Spaulding: ] would rather pay
one hundred dollars out of my "
pocket than 10 nave IT.
Mr.. Warner. Am not i'll favor of IT
unless il can be shown that there Is
a%pmething Of public interest more i'm
pUrtant than the reappOrtionment OF the
state needing attention.
Mr.. Foster: ] don't see any use Of it.
Mr.. Wigley: ] don't care 10 say any
Thing.
1t will be seen that all are decidedly
opposed TO it, and when We consider
that most of our delegation, at least, are
rs familiar with state affairs as the aver
are public man, their views are a pretty
safe criterion in Judging of the advisable
ity Of converting the legislators in extra
session; and, furthermore, the senti-
ments voiced by them can be relied up
ON "a "A true exponent of the views held
ly representatives in all Southern Min
nesota. If the people of this part Of the
state felt so disposed, they could readily
and ~legitirnately present as many ques-
tons Of general interest that need legis-
lation, az any other section, but we are
content TO abide the flight Of time, until
the regular legislature of II. But opin-
ion is quite general that Governor
Hubbard has his mind fully made up TO
the call, and that ere long his message
10 that effect will be heralded to the
public; but as this is mere c~onjec-
ture, there is still hope that his discre-
ton shall predominant, thus sparing our
commonwealth the burden Of Il session
,rhis winter, Notwithstanding the desires
of o few enthusiastic ones in its favor,
could the body be brought together for
the purpose Of re-apportionment, or for
adjusting any other matter, with assur-
anceo of adjournment at that time, the OPP
position would not be SO determined.
But all precedent demonstrates that
when once convened the body cannot
be adjourned until the expiration of the
limited time, and in view of all existing
circumstances the people of Southern
Minnesota respectfully express their OBJ
iections to the whole scheme.

The action of Gov. Hill, of New
York, in appointing Sterling to the Of
flee of warden of the port of New York,
is an affront to President Cleveland that
will not be entirely relished by himself
nor his close personal friends. Sterling
is IL Brooklyn politician of decidedly
unsavory character, whose appointment
to the position of weigher in the custom
house by Collector Hedden some four
months since was so offensive to the bet
ter elements of both the political par
ties that the president caused his u s
pension. \ few days ago his place was
filled by another, but respectable Demo-
crat. And now it to pass that the
| Governor of New York has taken this
man Sterling, whom the administration
considered unfit for the place of weigher
and elevates him to a much more exalt-
ed and responsible position, with vastly
greater power than tina. from which he
was deposed. Such action asthis can be
viewed from but one standpoint-that OF
declaring war upon the chief executive
of the nation, and running the machin-
cry of New York politics in the old ruts
of the Tweed ring. Hill Is nothing, il
not IA slmon-pure Democratic spokesman
He has amy thing but respect for the
civil service law, and only contempt fol
those who in any way endeayor TO up
hold it's provisions. In an interview
after election, Gov. Hill is reported al
declaring that the election had been won
by the straight-oqt Democrats against
the opposition of the mugwumps, al
well ~ Of the independent dudes of thu
democracy, and added that only such
democrats should share in the manage
ment and control Of the state govern
ment. Gov. Hill don't seem to have
any respect for his illustrious predeces
sor-or else le knows the true senti
ments of Growers masked views on the
''spoir" system better than il generally
supposed.

ANOTHER VOICE FROM AMBOY.
Lights and shades Of human life, or what we
like and what we dislike. We like the man
whose genial good nature and kindly bearing
reflects a ray of sunlight all around him; one
that tries to be cheerful, hopeful and happy,
and that causes others to feel at case; one that
would not give needless offence; nethat tries
to treat every man with all that courtesy and
consideration which his character aud conduct
merits. such an one will ever have friends,
because no himself IL friendly. Kind words
cost but little, but II they proceed from an
honest heart are often times beyond price.
Such we appreciate aud cherish. But we dis
like the two-faoed and hypocritical man, who
Judas-like kissed his master, and then went
out and betrayed him: one that seeks every
opportunity 10 take advantage of the ignor'
ance and necessity Of others; one that cares
not who inks so that he swlms; one that Is
oonstitutionally mean, and has cultivated the
rascally virtues Of jealousy and envy until II
has become a part of his very being. Decep-
tIon and falsehood Is his delight. He IL sly al
a fox, and slippery as an eel. lilo is like the
Irisnman's flea, You are never sure of him. In
olden times 1t was written, : thou shalt love
thy neighbor and hate thino enemies" Those
are not tho words OF inspiration Aud IL We
may not hate our enemies OF the above type
we may say truthfully we don't like them
They are some OF the objects that We DISLIKE.
Paradoxically speaking, the above IL a ian
cy sketch, not a picture drawn from real life
therefore nothing personal is lnp.isa,

naked legs innumerable are seen in the

through which a chain, like one of our
