THE New York World speaks Of the
Hon. Calvin S. Brice, manager Of Mr..
CleVeland's late campaign, and now
chairman of the Democratic National
committee, as "a Wall street Spectator
and millionaire, manipulation of cor
porato affairs, railroad jobber, a typi-
cal representative Of everything to
which the Democratic party is opposed,
{ man whose every interest and sympa-
thy ought to be with the Plutocracy to
which he belongs" Yet the World
has to admit that his selection has not
met with opposition among Democrats,
but has been greeted "either with -
ehuckle of satisfaction or with jannty
indifference. This would seem to show
that what he represents is not what the
Democratic party opposes.

Shall the Law be Respected?

The concise definition of law is "a
rule of action" Without law there
can be no government, no we'll regu-
lated society, no assured safety of
life and property. Laws are made to
be obeyed, not to be triAed with.
No one man or number of men with
out properly delegated authority
from the people, have right to say
what particular law or laws may be
disregarded and treated as not bind
ing Whatever may be the opinion
Of individuals of any given law, 10y
atty to the government demands its
obeyance SO long as it remains I'M
repealed on the statute book. The
Sunday laws date back to the organ
ization Of the governmen they are
based on the decalogue, the same as
are the laws prohibiting profanity
and other offences named in the
commandments. 1t is true the Sun.
day laws always have imposed i'm
patient restraint on certain classes,
but there is no evidence that they
have ever yet proven that these much
complained of Sunday restrictions
have harmed the people or damaged
the welfare Of the country. Those
who reason that no great harm can
come from not strictly complying
with the requirements of the Sunday
laws, forget that it is not the moral
requirement alone that is involved,
but it is lowering the respect for all
laws intended to restrain wrong if
liberty be taken to trample on any
one statute The standing COM
plant in all parts of the country is
the want oflaw enforcement. 1t is
this laxity in the application of law
which has led to the increase of
crime.

EVERY one knows that prohibition
has recently been undergoing a sue
cessiOn of defeats in different states.
These defeats, from the first to the
latest, have been Chronicled with ap-
parent satisfaction by many of the
old and most substantial newspapers
which have been taken as favorable
to temperance reform. Now the
strange friends are seen in the de-
nunciation of prohibition legislation
by the recent anti,prohibition con-
vention convention Qiquor dealers),
held at Oshkosh. That convention
treated prohibition as the worst enc,

ton, in it's bitter complaint against
the wrong of prohibition, now finds
sympathy, of course not Intentional,
but accidental in a quarter short

AFTER DEBTORS.
Important Amendment to the
Homestead Exemption Law.


Senator Scheffer proposed to amend
the homestead exemption law by adding
the following sections:
Whenever the homestead of any debtor
shall be claimed by the creditor or officer
holding an execution against him to exceed
IN value the sum of 50. 0U0, such officer shall
summon three appraisers, one to be selected
by the creditor or officer, and one by the
debtor. and the two so chosen shall choose
the third; who shall upon oath appraise the
SAID premises, and in case the value thereof
shall. by majority of such appraisers, be
found to be more than 5000 and cannot be
divided. they shall make and sign an ap-
praisal of its value and deliver the same to
the officer, who shall deliver copy thereof
to the debtor, or some of his family of suit
able age 10 understand the nature thereof,
with written notice thereto attached. that
unless the said debtor shall pay the said
officer the surplus over and above the e.. 600
or the amount due on the execution, within
sixty days thereafter that such premises will
be sold.
In case such surplus, or the amount due on
said execution, shall not be paid within the
sixty days aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the
officer 10 proceed TO advertise and sell said
premises Ill Ike manner as in other eXecu-
lion sales, and out of the proceeds of said
sale TO pay such debtor the sum of 5000
which shall be exempt from any process, and
apply the balance on said execution. Pro
vided, however. that no sale shall be made in
the case last mentioned unless a greater sum
than 50, 900 shall be bid therefor in which
case the officer may return said execution
unsatisfed at the cost and expense of the
creditor: and, further that this and the pre-
cediug section shall not apply to or affect any
mortgage executed before this act shall take
effect.
Mr.. Durant earnestly protested against
its passage, and a prolonged desultory
discussion followed. The bill was rec
commended to pass by an overwhelming
vote

it held separate fair, provided said
joint fair paid out in premiums as much
as all the counties Jointly receive from
said appropriation, and that no part of
said money to be paid out for horse-rac-
ing or trOtting purposes"
Mr.. Clark moved to eliminate the
$1,000 for the Southern Minnesota Fair
association. He desired to place this
association on the same par as the county
societies.
Mr.. Daniels entered vigorous and
timely protest. Last year the Southern
Minnesota paid out $4,000 in premiums,
and to the efforts of that society
alone the state agricultural society
owed its position of to-day. The
Southern Minnesota Fair association
had made Southern Minnesota what
she was to-day-one of the best stock
producing districts in the Northwest
Notwithstanding the strong argu-
ments which Mr.. Daniels produced, a
majority of the senate voted for MI.
Clark's amendment, and cut off the
appropriation to the Southern Mime
sofa Fair association. Mr.. Daniels made
a stubborn fight to have the bill referred
to special committee, so that proper
justice should be done to the southern
association, but his gallant attempt
failed, the bill as amended being rec
commended to pass.

FOR ECONOMY.
Campaign Services Must Not Be
Paid Out of the State Treasury.

Paid Out Of the State Treasury.
Senator Bowen secured great victory
in the senate yesterday, his bill pro-
viding for the publication of the state
treasurer's report in one newspaper
passing by vote of 20 yeas to IA nays
The report must now be published by
tender in any of the st. Paul daily pa
pers. Hitherto the state treasurer has
chosen the paper, or papers, wherein
the report should be published, and the
charge for the same was 1888. Mr..
Bowen denied this was a political meas
ure: it was merely bill suggested in
the interests of economy. Il don't
care what is done with the bill. If the
senate likes to pay papers for their
campaign work out of the state treasury,
why let them kill this BILL Upon the
question thus placed bafore legislators,
the voting upon the passage OF the bill
was: Yeas 20, nays IA.
1t is rumOred that when introduced
into the house the bill will not be al
lowed to get beyond the committee
stage-that, as Senator Day is wont to
remark. it will sleep the sleep that
knows no awakening i'll somebody's
pocket! Legislators who prate about
retrenchment and reform would do
we'll to see to this.

priation to pass.

The house passed Senator Scheffer's
bill to punish drunkenness yesterday
morning. Mr.. Forbes had read from
the clerks desk a strong letter from
Judge NJ. J. Severance, of Mankato. to
Senator Scheffer and relating to the
bill. The salient points OF the letter
are:
MANKATo Mimi. March IS. 1899
Hon. Albert Scheffer-Dear Sir: have
noticed by the papers that you have intro
duced in the legislature bill for an act pro-
0iding punishment for drunkenness. 1t is
Dassing strange that orr statutes contain no
such law at present whilst the statutes of
every, or nearly every state do provide a
punishment for drunkenness. 1t must be
that our former legislators and the people of
Minnesota have not considered drunkenness
an offense, and for this reason temperance
has made no noticeable Roadway. You have
commenced at the right end of the temper
ance question. Everybody ought to know
that it is the abuse and not the use of in
toXicating liquor that gives any cause for
COMPLAINT The excessive use of
intoxicating liquors is not only an attempt
TO commit suicide, but it is suicide. Our
temperance people pursue the vendor of in
toXicatlng liquors with an absolute feTocity,
hut for the soldering drunkard they mani
fest only a morbid sympathy that only en-
courages him in the belief that he is
the victim of a cruel fate, or the
wicked machina tons of some salloonkeeper,
who never asked him 10 drink in his life.
This idea of eXempting drunkards
from blame by reason of their condition, and
charging the whole thing TO the liquor seller,
is not only illogical, but it makes a whimper-
ing calf OF every man who would crafty
morbid taste, then shirk his sponsibility and
charge it to somebody else. Nothing sub
stantal can be done in the way of temper
ance until drunkenness is made disgraceful

The Farmers Institute Bill


Much Business Quietly Dispatched
The Farm ers' Institute Bill
Favored.
The evening session of the house was
marked by no great amount of definite
work. The general orders were at
tackled, and a ready disposition of a
goodly number of files was suggested.
House file 1887, to amend the penal code
relating to rape and seduction, was in
definitely postponed. Representative
Ives took up the bill for debate, quoting
much detail about the legal definitions
of the subjects of the bill, which emp
tied the galleries of half dozen ladies
who had gathered to satisfy curiosity
so abruptly satisfied. Debate closed
by motion to indefinitely postpone.
The bill relating to building and loan
associations doing a general business in
the state was passed. The bill provides
certain laws subsidiary to those under
which the associations are Incorporated.
After much debate the bill to establish
and maintain farmers Institutes in va
riouS counties of the state was recon-
mended to pass. The bill appropriates

tuteS for the fiscal years 1S90-91. The
bill to amend section 1872, chapter 16 of
the penal code, indefinitely postponed.

ton of members and officers of the
legislature, recommended to pass The
bill to amend General Statutes relating
to county officers, recommended passed.
The bills to amend the General Laws
regulating amount of license for sale of
intoxicating liquors, and the repeal of
chapter SO, General Laws 1878, were
taken up and postponed. The two bills
of Represe ntatives Smith and Young,
the first relating to actions for removal
of cloud on real estate, and the latter
to amend law relating to roads, cart
ways and bridges, on account of the
absence of those gentlemen, were
passed over. Representative Lows bill
relating to proceedings of condemnation
of lands by the state was recommended
passed. Mr.. Hompe'S bill for an act to
appropriate money for general expenses
of the state government and for other
purposes therein named, ETC., was con-
Sidered and recommended to pass.
Article 16. section l of this bill was
discussed at length. 1t provides $4,000
for expenses of Matching and distribu-
ting fish, to be expended by the fish
commissioners in accordance with the
act providing for the propagation of
food fishes. 1t passed without amend
ment. however, after which the house

TheIe were fifty-one bills on the SEN

these twenty-five were disposed of-all

There was a regular high license
flare-up against the Bowen bill, regu
lating liquor licenses. The bill allowed
money paid on uneXpired licenses to
stand against any subsequent license
fee. MI. Bowen'S desire was to pass a
general bill to meet the large number
of local bills passed to meet Individual
cases. The howl was loud and pro-
lOnged: ''Tampering with the high
