came into the mans face, and he asked:
"Does that mean have the lady and I done
anything wrong?' Upon the clerks telling
him that was what it meant, he swore that
all was right and went away happy.
1t is pretty safe to say all of the Hennepin
county Republican representatives are for c..
X. Davis for senator. G. II. Petit has never
declared himself for Davis, but has admitted
he may vote that way.
Representative Alexander Millar is heartily
in favor of the Ontario plan of assessment.
Says he: ~ favor it because believe it will
relieve the burdens of the working classes of
the Sixth ward and enable them to save their

Thomas CAVITY is a rising young lawyer and
in time may be judge of the supreme court.
He showed that he possessed the requisite
pluck yesterday, when he insisted on carry

less, as he did not want to listen TO him.

George K. Shaw yesterday confirmed the

1t is rumored, with a shudder, that the Gel

The st. Paul GLOBE doesn't object to copy
ing from the Journal when it can give the
credit to some other paper-the views of Mr..
Burdick, for instance, which appeared first in
the Journal Monday, I'm the Market Record
yesterday, and in the GLOBE to-day credited
to the Record.-Journal. The little evening
paper is, as usual, badly wide of the mark.
The Record printed q very clever bit Of sar-
castle comment on the Burdick interview,
and it was that comment which the GLOBE
used and NOT the interview itself, which was
not worth the space. The fact is that the
sensitive and INSCRIPTIONS little evening
paper is itself very enterprising in the dor
rowing lne and cares little for the source,
so the borrowing is done with impunity. AS
for example, on Dec. 81, il printed an inter-
view with Mayor Ames, borrowed" bodily
from the GLOBE of that morning, just as it
borrowed its business review of the year from
the GLOBE of Dec. 5.

ELECTION LAW CHANGES.
Representative Petit DiscOurses of
the Wants and Remedies.

the Wants and Remedies.
1t has been generally understood that
members of the Hennepin delegation to the
legislature would interest themselves in
securing radical changes in the election
laws, the necessity for which was abund-
antly demonstrated at the last election.
The name of c. H. Petit has been fire.
quently mentioned in this connection, and
yesterday afternoon a GLOBE. reporter had
a chat with him on the subject. Said he:
There is no necessity for discussing the ad-
Visibility of action in this direction, for that
has been so apparent that l have no doubt
me mbers all over the state have been think
ing of it. | know one or two st. Paul mem
bers who are interesting themselves in the
matter No. l think no bill has yet been
drawn up, and perhaps wont be until alter
a conference / nave written for copies of
the New York and Illinois election laws,
which may be adapted TO meet our wants.
What do l think these wants are? Well, the
method of counting must be changed. The
present law is a dead letter. as it Is never
obeyed but I think the judges should be
made to pay their penalty for miscounts. No
precinct should have over 500 votes. Yes, l
know our council can regulate the sizes OF
precincts, but they should be compelled to
make them the proper size.

the two veterans amused each other with
election "reminiscences. Mr.. Petit after
ward said:
think the law should compel judges to
count one Office through before taking up
another. My idea would be to have, as
counted. the Democratic tickets in one pile,
the Republican in another, and the splits in a
third, and have this done for every office.
Then these tickets could be afterward quickly
run over and the count verified. There is
always danger when the splits are picked out
and laid aside before counting. Why re-
member looking on at a count once where
the splits were lain aside and then forgotten
entirely. As good a man as S. c. Gale was
one of the judges, too.

Nearly Frozen to Death

ST. JOHN, N. B., Dec. 29.-The steamer
Sir John, which sailed last night at 1880
o'clock, was two hours later burned just
outside of the harbor. Searching parties
started out and this morning found the crew
of twenty men huddled together in the
snow on the rocks at Black Point Their
clothes were frozen to their bodies and they
were suffering terribly. Five were so badly
burned, including Capt. Purdy, the COM
mander, that they cannot live. John Sim
clair, the steward, was drowned while
swimming ashore. The rest got on land by
a line carried ashore by the captain. The

RECOGNIZED HER MOTHER.
Pathetic Incident at the NJ Orgue--
WOmanIy sympathy.

A pathetic incident occurred yesterday in
connection with the case of Mrs. Kinney,
whose body is now at Warmers morgue.
On Monday two ladies came to the mOrgue
and asked TO see the body of Mrs. Kinney.
The elder lady recognized the body of the
dead woman as having worked for her at
one time. She said Mrs. Kinney was
one of the neatest women she ever
had in her house. and was appar-
emily a well-behaved. good woman as
we'll. While the ladies were at the
morgue it was learned that Mrs. Pond, the
daughter of Mrs. Kinney, would arrive in
the city yesterday to take charge of her
mothers remains. The two ladies imme-
diately expressed the most kindly sympa-
thy for the stranger. coming as she did on
so sad an errand, and wished to befriend
her. Yesterday morning they again came
to the morgue and waited more than an

ICE INEE RFER ES
With the Running of the Mills.
strong Foreign Market.

In its review of the milling operations,
the Northwestern Miller will say:
Under the regulation of the water pool, the
water power was fair last week, and though a
number of mills whose term it was to run
shut down partially or wholly on Christmas,
the -four output reach ID nearly as high fig
ures as the week before. The total product
was III, 400 barrels-averaging 1875 barrels
daily for seven days-againSt 122,S15
barrels the preceding week, and 1900 bar
rels for the corresponding time in 1855.
The situation this week is less favorable, ex-
tremely cold weather during Sunday and
Monday having evidently had much to do
with reducing the supply of water. Ice has
also interfered good deal with operations by
breaking loose and blocking the water wheels.
The water il the canal stood at fair height
early Monday, but it soon began to so down,
and by night was the lowest experienced this
season, there being three mills, of nearly
1000 barrels capacity, which could not run
ut all. Few of the Others depending
wholly on water could do satisfactory
work The additional shortage of
power, together with the serious de-
lay caused to most of the mills Monday and
yesterday by loose ice, will materially reduce
the product of the week, and it is likely to
fail below 100000 barrels. About 1900 bar
rels daily is being made by steam alone.
Some of the mills continue to store flour to q
small extent, millers preferring to hold part
of their limited product rather than accept
orders below top quotations. Prices have
been gradually pushed upward and, though
there is not great deal OF flour being sold,
the market is very strong. The most strength
comes from the foreign market domestic
trade being quite dull.

A number of musical people of Mime

Boston Ideals and the enthusiasm for Miss
Agnes Huntington, have arranged to tender
her complimentary benefit. Mrs. Dr..

the Gounod club are also concerned, and
have arranged an admirable concert, which

will also partake of the swell social char

of Minneapolis will give Miss Huntington a
royal reception.

Seventy two years ago next Mon

from Denmark, and attempted to pre-
sent it to the king Of Sweden as re-
compense fol- the treaehery of Berna-
dotte to Napoleon. The sturdy Nor.
wegians resisted this effort and de-
manded the right to make their own
constitution and laws, claiming to be
Indifferent as to who should execute
these laws if they were allowed to
enact them. This demand was after
AZ time granted, and, although the
king of Sweden isnominally the ruler
oyer Sweden and Norway, yet his
power over the people Of Norway is

Nothing ever locked more promise
ing for the future than do the almost
assured results of the present serious
and effective agitation by the farmers
of this state Of means for redress or
their grievances against unjust mon
orolies. In this Legislative district
Grant county is most thoroughly or
ganized; Stevens county. under zeal
Gus leaders, is fast becoming so, and
the other two sisters of the qulrtette,
Big Stone and Traverse counties are
awakening to the Importance of the
question of farmers rights. 1t is
about settled fact that the delega-
tion from the forty-seeond district,
small though it be, will be IN immov-
able stone in the triumphal arch of
Justice which the farmers are about
to erect.
Fidelity to the organization and to
to the purposes Of the organization
will insure Il full measure of success.
Two honest. earnest men in the next
legislature from this district will
speak in no uncertain tones for justice
to the farmer, and in the legislative
halls alone is the battle to be won.
For this reason THE SrN, as u friend
of the movement, cannot but contem-
plate with grave apprehensions the
efforts of some ill-advised though well
meaning members of the alliance to
seize upon county politics as subject
allied to the one great issue. AS care
FIJI citizens, all, farmers and merch-
ants and property owners generally,
are interested in the selection OF faith
| fal officers to conduct the county
business. and q man would be derelict
in his duty did he neglect to sc rutin-
iZe closely the record OF every aspi-
rant to public Office, but that is not
the poirt. II is this: Can the farmers
lose sight for one moment of the main
| issue, the reason for existence of
their alliances
If so, then why not permit the cleo
ton of United States senator to be-
come another factor in the problem
which they have to solve! The ques-
| ton as to who shall be governor be-
longs to the farmers. because the gov
ernor executes the laws, and under
| the railroad and warehouse act of
1885, he shall appoint the commits
sioners, but they sail too close to the
shoals which mean disaster if they
take up the matter of county offices
as question for the organized action
of the alliances.
The farmers may be able to elect
whomsoever it shall please them to
any county Office but can they afford
to take the risk! There is not one
intelligent man among them but
knows that the moment the purposes
of their organization become subser-
Went to any mans personal ambition.
that moment are soWn the seeds of a
speedy dissolution.
