Senatorial Situation.
Little Falls Transcript.

Lille
While we have no other than kindly feel
ings towards the great twin cities of Mime
sota-St. Paul and Minnea polis-and rejoice
in their progress and prosperity. we never
theless consider that other sections of the
state are entitled to at least edual considera-
ton. During the eight territorial legisla
lures. four of the presiding officers were
from st. Paul, and out of the thirty speak
ers of the house since Minnesota became
state. eleven Tor over one-thirdl have been
supplied By these two cities. The preside nts
of the senate and the speakers largely shape
legislation by the formation of the commit
tees. and great political as well as business
advantages result from controlling these
positions.
There is no law which required the people
to elect a congressional representative from
given district in which he resides, but 1t
would be regarded as an anomaly if the five
congressional districts in the state should
select their congressman from st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The people of the various dis
tricts would resent such an imputation upon
their ability in very emphatic manner. II
is no less an anomaly for the two cities to
ask for both senators, and only an assurance
fairly monumental would have conceived of
such an idea.
tits with no desire to excite local or fac
tional jeaIousies that we cite these facts, but
TO ask whether. both as matter OF political
and business fair play, some locality outside
the two cities should not receive the seuator-
ship at the hands of the legislature this win
ter The country representation is almost
five 10 one against the Twin Cities. 1t is, OF
course matter entirely within the control
of the country members to decide. II they
do not think sufficient political honors have
been beaped upon these cities: if they do
not think any other portion or the state is
entitled to consideration If, like Uriah Heap,
they desire to be especially 'umble and &C.
knowledge the inferiority of all the remain
der of the state, they viii insist upon hand
ing Mr.. Washburn the senatorship upon a
silver platter. 1t is presumable that he viii
be willing TO buy the platter as token Of his
appreciation of the humility.

SIZING UP STATE PRISONS.

MinnesOtians Glance at the In

Intelligence Office Keepers Sell
Men Into Worse Than Bondage.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The number of
complaints against S. NJ. Won Slompkie
d Co., the Battery place intelligence
Office keepers, was further increased
to-day. The firm has been sending
foreigners to Chesapeake bay for service
on the oyster dredgers there. Peter
Kohl, of No. 219 Avenue A, called at
the city hall and informed Marshal
Byrnes that his brother Adolph had
been sent to Baltimore by Won Stomp
kie & Co. on Oct. 8, and had not since
been heard of. Mrs. Marie Reiss anG
her mother came from Corona, l.. l., to
ask the marshal to find her brother. He
was sent by the employment agents to
Baltimore for service on the dredgers
and has not been heard of since Nov. 5.
An inspector was sent from the
marshal's Office yesterday evening to
determine by Won Slompkie'S records
how many men have thus far been sent
to Baltimore. The life of the men
while on the dredging vessels is said to
be Wretched.

YELLOW FEVER GERMS.
A Tennessee Physician Discovers

bles a Special Germ
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 20.-Dr.
James E. Reeves, of this city, an emf
nent microscopic, has been studying
the tissues of the liver and kidney from
patients who died with yellow
fever at Decatur, Ala. and mas
discovered micro-Organisms that
closely resembles a special germ. DR..
Reeves has sent mountings of these
tissues to various bacteriOlogiSts in this
country, and has had his discoveries
photographed by Prof. Delmero, of the
ohio state university. The micro
organism is bacillus, and
nothing like it has ever been
found by DIR. Reeves in his long expert
ence with bacteria. The doctor hopes
that his discovery will prove successful
in determining the specific germ of yell
low fever and that proper culture will
be found for 1t before next summer.
The doctor is reticent and declines to
say anything further until after con-
sultation with eminent scientists to
which he Is invited. to be held at Johns
Hopkins university the first week in
January.

Has W. u. Washburn brains enough to
write a bill that would be presentable in the
United States senate: He comes from an
illustrious family; has been fairly successful
as a stock waterer, but We doubt if he has any
more legislative ability than the law allows.
He certainly is not a statesman, nor does he
approach one in experience in deliberatye
proceedings of public affairs.
