ON REAPPORTIONMENT.
The Committee Meet, Illuminate
and Adjourn,

A meeting was held of the joint reap
portionment committee, Representative
Comstoek presiding. Members were re-
ouested to give the subcommittee. who
are to formulate a reapportionment
scheme, the benefit of their views. This
is what they said:
Senator DayAWe must not increase
either branch of the legislature by more
than three or four members.
Senator Gibson--Befors you can fix a
basis you must inquire into and settle
the representation of ST. Paul and Min
neapolis.
Senator Whiteman-Rea Reapportionment
should be based upon the vote OF 1888.
Representative Comstock-I say ditto
to that.
Representative FL. f. Steyens-There
must be harmony between the cities and
the country. The constituency that [
represent are inclined to accept consid-
erably less ia the matter of representa-
ton than their census would entitle
them to-; perhaps less than their vote
W0uldsentitle them to. The registered
vote for Ramsey county was $1,000. but
the vote cast was trifle over $4,000.
Senator NJ. Johnson-The committee

No Circulating Editor.

To the Editor of the Globe
In reply to the following item con-
tanned in your issued of the 18th inst,
1.-THE Murphy club claims to have got
ten 800 pledge-signers since the breach
with the Woolley contingent. They
must have employed a relative of the
Journals circulation liar.'" l would
say that the Murphy club has for some
time past its connection with
professional prevaricatore. And that
the aim of this organization is not to
spread false reports, but to use every
honorable means to reclaim men who
have been ruined by the drink habit,
and, SO far, our efforts have been
crowned with success.
would further say, for the benefit of
those doubters, that the pledge books of
the Murphy club are open for inspec-
ton at its rooms, 245 Hennepin avenue,
every night during the year. But
should we in the future wish to employ
any of the class of people mentioned in
the above item, think we shall be
suited to our satisfaction 10y employing
the originator of the above item. Yours,
w. III. JONES,
Murphy Club Room.

SEyATsON's SECRETARY
Was Donnelly for the Interest Re-
ductiOn Bill

'"This bin is in the handwriting of
Mr., Donnelly. but desireit understood
that it is my bill. [ asked Mr.. Dom
nelly to put my thoughts upon paper,
because know no man who could do it
better"
1t would have been wiser had Repre-
sentative Seyatson not made this state
ment to the house. His bill to reduce
the rate OF interest from 10 per cent to
per cent reyises the usury laws
SO as to cut off the commissions of agents
loaning money for other parties. In
explaining the bill Mr.. Seyatson gave
away its origin, and frown settled
down upon the face of the house-an
Amelie Riyes froWn of slumping,
sloughing slumpiness.
Representative Hoyt-if [ believed
that a reduction of the rate of lnterets
and strict usury law would help the
farmers of this state, would support it.
But honestly believe that such action
would place hardship upon them. 1t
would be unwise and unjust to them to
pass such measure.
Representative Searle-The form of
the bill is not understood and it has not
been printed. In truth the biliinvoIves
more than reduction Of interest. l am
unwilling to act upon it yet. l under
stand that Mr., SevatSon IN the COM
mittee Oh banking voted to recommend
the Indefinite postponement of this
bill.
Representative Sevatson-It is true
that did, and my reason was to get it
away from the committee. | did not
want the bill smothered. The chair
| man had carried it in his pocket
for month without reporting upon it.
Representative Forbes = The bill
ought to be printed.
Representative Fleming move that
the bill be printed and made special
order for Tuesday next at II a. IN.
Representative Sevatson-This will
| call down the bankers association of
the state and kill the bill.
Representative Fleming-I did not
make this motion to injure the bill. l
am in favor of reducing the rate of in
terest to per cent or if necessary.
Representative Flathers-There is not
farmer on this floor but fayors this
| bill.
Representative Hanke-Mr. Sevatson
is mistaken about the bankers associa-
ton. Members of that association whom
have talked with favor the bill.
! Representative Hompe--If | should
vote against this bill would have to
emigrate from Otter Tail county.
Representative Crossfietd-l amend
Mr. Fleming'S motion so as to make this
bill a general order for next Tuesday.
Representative Flynn-This bill
| ought to go on special orders. | favor
! the bill and do not want it killed.
The CroSSfield amendment was de-
feated and the Fleming amendment to
make it special order for next Tues
| day was carried.

debate upon the bill regulating the
sale of cigarettes and tobacco.
The bill is introduced by Senator
Swenson, and makes il misdemeanor
for any pe1son TO sell cigarettes and to-
baceo to minors under sixteen years.
There was vigorous kick against the
bill. Senator Hall opened with neat
speech. lit would be very nice
thing" he said, ''if we could teach our
boys to come up in the straight and mar
row way; to get them to eschew the
evils of tobacco and drinking. But
boys will be boys. They were before
and they will be now, and fear if this
law is passed the boys will learn to
violate it, and in the end will grow up
to disrespect the law. There is no law
which will prevent them from smoking
if they are given that way"
IF parents are not able to raise their
children, | am sure the legislature can
not" was the pertinent remark of Sen
ator Nachbar, greeted with applause by
several senators. Senator Walimark
looked at the matter from a different
said. ''to see little boys on the streets
with cigarettes in their mouths, and the
law ought to step in and prohibit such
exhibitions"
Senator Kellar next had his say. He
was short and to the point. There is in
some quarters a disposition to ridicule
the senator for his little idioSyncracies,
but this may be said to his credit. He
is ever alive to the Interests of the state:
Studiously investigates the character of
all important bills; is ,staunch up
holder of the majesty of the law. The
standpoint he took upon this bill was
perfectly logical. Il depiore." he said,
''the evil of tobacco and drink; de-
piore still more that the youth of this
country are largely addicted to
smoking, but my plea is that
you cannot cope against this
by legislation of any kind. The remedy
would be worse than the disease. You
might succeed, though l very much
doubt it, in prohibiting youths from
smoking up to sixteen years; but what
is the result after they reach that age?
1t means their ruin, for when once
their liberty is assured, they would fly
to the tobocco and cigarette, and be
worse enslayed to them than if they
had never been prohibited from smOk
ing. do not advocate young children
being allowed to smoke, but | do urge
that the tendency Of this bill is danger
Gus, that the only way to keep the to-
bacco from the rising generation is by
leaving them to the advice of their par
ents. They know what is best for their
children"
Senator Durant complimented Sena-
tor Kellar upon his speech, remarking
that it contained some good, sound COM
mon sense. The legislature was for
the purpose of managing the public
affai of the state, not for running the
domestic affairs of the families of the
state.
Notwithstanding the opposition. the
bill passed the committee of the whole
and was reported favorably.

Ancient Hannibal Hamlin.

The reception to Hannibal Hamiin in
the house yesterday noon was purely
informal, owing to the request of the
gentleman himself. At 12 the house
took IA recess for thirty minutes, and the
senate came in to assist in doing honor
to the only living vice president of this
nation. MIR. Hamin came in escorted
by Col. Graves, and. standing in front Of
the clerks desk. shook hands with all
the representatives and senators and a
number of visitors. He said:
''Onesof the stipulations of my visit to
you was that | should not be called on
for speech, but l cannot help saying,
as | look into your faces, that / am
proud of the manhood stamped upon
them, and of the fact that this young
state possesses SO magnificent q looking
body of men to represent her,
Among those shaking hands with Mr..
Hamlin was Col. Pfaender, of New
U1m, who is one of the presidential
electors of Minnesota (and the only sur
viving One) who east the vote of the
state for Lincoln and Hamlin SO many
years ago.

Representative Lane scowled and
Representative Sumner looked gloomy.
out Representative Flynn seconded the
motion and it carried. Later Repre-
sentative Haven moved that the bill be
printed and laid on the members desks
today, which was ordered done. The
bill will be special order at noon.
Every parliamentary tactic that can be
resorted to will be to defeat ii, since
there is clique formed to head off all
refOrmatory legislation on oil inspector
fees, but a number of the strongest
members of the house have announced
their intention of forcing radical and
square measure through, which will
give TO the state the bulk of the reye-

which now go into his pocket.

SINGLE TAXITES.
The Legislature Thanked---Col.
Herma an Ash to the Contrary.


Herman Ash to the Contrary.
: About thirty members of the Single
Tax league were present at the monthly
meeting held at 421 Nicollet avenue,
last evening. A resolution was intro
duced commencing the bill for tax re-
form, now before the legislature,
as one that every thoughtful
man would favor, and thanking
John Day Smith, of Hennepin. and SEN
ator Frank Day, of Martin county.
for presenting the resolutions introduc-
ing the bill in the two houses. Herman
Ash and one OF two others wanted to
drop the section thanking the men who
introduced the bill. because they had
since done things considered prejudicial
TO the interests of the workIngmen,
and it was feared that the pas
sage of such a resolution might
injure the league in the eyes of other
labor organizations. G. L. Erickson
said he failed to see what the subse-
auent actions of the Legislators had to
do with the propriety of thanking them
for specific act, and the amendment
dropping the ''thanks section" as Mr..
Ash termed it. was lost. The resolution
was, however. adopted.

Eczema or Salt Rheun

Baby bad with Eczema. Hair gone.
Scalp covered with Eruptions.
Physicians fail. Cured by the
Cuticura remedies. Hair re-
stored. Not pimple on him
now.
Icannot say enough in praise Of the CCTr-
oURA REMEDIES. My boy, when one year OF
age, was SO bad with eczema that he lost all
bis hair. His scalp was covered with erup-
tons. which the doctor said was scald head,
and that his hair would never grow again.
Despairing of cure from physicians, be-
gan the use of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and,
am happy to say, with the most perfect
success. His hair is now splendid. and
there is not pimple on him. recommend
the CUTIcURA REMEDIES to mothers as the
most speedy, economical and sure cure for
all skin diseases of infants and children. and
feel that every mother who has an afflicted
child will thank me for so doing.

Mollie Garrity, the well-known keeper
of the sporting house at 232 South First
street, was before Judge Emery yester-
day charged with keeping house of ill
fame. The officers say that the house

they could do very much as they
pleased. Day before yesterday one of

Nellie was in court yesterday too, and,
being found guilty. was fined s25 by
Judge Emery. who told her that if she
wished to advertise she must adopt
some other means. The arrest of the

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 19,-T'he dis

the press uniformly supports the action
of the United States government in ap-
propriating money to protect its inter-

the sympathy of the colonies would be
with the former, no matter what posi-

rejoice to look forward to the great
union of all Engllsh-speaking races

was all ready. the court went ahead and
tried the suit. After it was ended
Num- started do|n stairs, and just be-
fore reaching the last step met Bartle-
son. When the latter gentleman found
that the case had been tried he was
somewhat angry and made an insulting
remark to Num-, at the same time strik-
ing at him. Num- warded off the blow
,and let go with the right, catching Bar
tleson in the face and staggering him
for moment. A general rough-and-
tumble fight followed, during which
quite a crowd collected. Neither of the
men was seriously injured.

received, and many of the men cannot
