LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.


ST. PAUL, Feb. 20.-Mr. Syenson's bill
to prohibit the sale of cigarettes or to-
bacco in any form to children was dis
cussed at length by Ihe senate and
finally placed on the Calendar unamend-
ed. Mr.. Whitemapf introduced a bin for
a scho ! eff Technology at Duluth. The
bill a~ppropriates 800, 600 for build
ings. A bill was also introduced
by Mr.. Day providing for the sub
mission of a constitutional amendment
which will wipe out from the
constitution the provision (~section 3,
article " which declares that the follow
ing property is subject TO taxation: "Al
moneys, credits investments in bonds,
stock, joint stock companies or other
4 wise, and also real and personal property
according to its true value in money"
1t is a modified single tax bill. The sem
ate passed a bill authorizing a bridge
between La Crosse, Wis, and Houston
county, Minnesota.
The house discussed the Kreis temper
ance bill, and upon final vote defeated it

SAM RANDALL and chairman Mills have
locked horns for a fight in the House
that bids fair to make the last two weeks
of the Fiftieth Congress long remem,
bered. The question. at issue between
these two eminent Democrats is the
seemingly never-to-b e-disposed-of tar,
i'll. Mr.. Mills, from the committee OF
ways and means, has reported the sen.
ate substitute for his tariff bill to the
house, accompanying it with a resolution
declaring that the senate bill is uncor
stitutional, and directing the clerk OF
the house to return it to the senate.
This of course is just SO much gammou
and only means hat the committee viii
oppose the senate bill in every way pos
sible. Here is where the real fight
begins. A bill which purports to be an
entirely new tariff measure has been re-
ported from the house ways and mean
committee by Mr.. Mcmillan. In reality
it is only the Mills bill with the cotton,
metal and chemical schedule left out.
Another bill has been reported from the
same committee by Mr.. Breckenridge,
which is claimed by its authors to be a
compromise. 1t provides for free wool,
the repeal of the tobacco tax, and con-
tains the wooden and worsted schedules
of the original Mills bill. All this is
from the free trade wing of the Demo-
cratic party. Now for the other side.
Mr.. Randall has reported, from the ap-
propriations committee, the Cowles in
ternal revenue bill, which repeats all to-
bacco taxes and modifes some of the in
ternal revenue laws relating to the man.
ufacture and sale OF liquors. All ofthese
bills have been referred to the commit.
tee of the whole, and the question is
which if either of them, will be passed
by the house.

A l L Is pending in the Missouri leg
~islature which, if passed, will put a stop
to the publication of Legal notices in OBJ
scure papers, while in Buffalo a suit is
pending TO set aside a trust deed because
it wa made under an advertisement
published in n Of these alleged news
papers which did not give it the publici-
~ which the Law contemplates. The OBJ
ject of the Jaw requiring the publication
of legal notices in newspapers is to give
them the widest publicity In order that
all persons whose interests are thereby
affected may have judicial notice of the
fact. Therefore, says the Minneapolis
Star, when one of these obscure newspa-
pers is resorted to as a medium of such
publication, the object of the law is en-
tirely defeated, and in some instances
ttc door is opened for theSommission
raud. An attorney recently said
--. he was often requested by his clients
to put his notices in these papers in or
der that knowledge of the same might
be kept from interested parties. Some
of these papers are kept alive merely as
a vehicle for the publication of legal no.
tees. They have no circulation worthy
of mention, and no standing as newspa,
pers. A law should be passed to regu-
late the matter in some way so that
when a legal notice is published 1t will
be a publication such as the law contem-
plates.

The provisions of the act will include
the payment of damages to those suffer

this and adjoining counties in lS64-5, and
such claims may be presented through
the medium of an attorney. Major +.
P. Evans, of Garden City, who served
