ST. 10, Mo-, March n.-When we
woke up this morning on the palace
train bearing rs toward st. Louis, Sum-
ner said that we were in Missouri, be-
cause the train boy had begun to sell
the life of Jesse James, and the train
men put on their revolvers. While we
were at breakfast young lady came
in, and said to Hompe:
II am a second cousin to Frank
James,
"Ah," said he.
Can sell you cartridge from one
of his piStolS?"
Hompe told her very positively that
he was not connected with the war tie
partment, and she went away. Pretty
soon in come an old man, and wanted
to sell Hanke the life of Cole Younger.
lie said he was related to Coles grand
father. Hanke wouldn't take the book,
because it might look eXtravagant when
we got back. We are very careful what
we say here about the James and
Younger boys, because everybody seems
TO be related to them.
BE you from Minnesota" said one
fellow to us.
We replied that we were.
BE the boys doing well up there?"
Diment said that they were, consider
ing that their duties kept them quite
closely confined.
We had conference after breakfast
to see how many of US were farmers,
since it was farmers convention we
were going to. and Gov. Merriam had
said that we must watch their interests.
Diment said he was powerful on farm
ing 4 state institution appropriation;
HOmpe has got horny hands; Sumner
has a certificate from Free Lane that he
is way up in ensilage. Senator Dodge
has brought along for his credentials an
Early December Dutchhead cabbage.
We don't feel quite satisfied with this. be-
cause several parties have mistaken us
for commercial travellers instead of an
agricultural show. We have had a
devil of row among ourselves that
ought to be noticed. Us house men,
bers thought that we ought TO
have control of the organization
of the delegation, so we de-
cided to elect Diment chairman;
but the senate fellows wouldn't have it,
so we've divided into two parties and
are going TO act independent of one an
other. Anyway, we don't intend that
the Minnesota farmer shall get left.
Senatorial dignity is all right, but we
calculate that Diment knows more
about bulls and trusts than the whole
senate put together, and we are going
to stick by him.
We passed the following resolution of
cenSure to-day:
''Resolved. That since the Hon. JOS
eph CapSer, of StearnS county, saw fit
IN nnnncp the nf thn raCOIntinI,
apprOpriating $1,000 for our benefit, that
he be considered friend of economy
and reform and the enemy of ourselves
and the governor"
Hanke has prepared speech on beef
and trusts, which is forwarded here
with:
''Mr. Chairman: We are here in the
interests of the farmer and ourselves.
The former gets soup, and we have
$1,000 appropriation. Minnesota is a
great state, and she has great legiSIa-
ture-great in spending more money
than the state can earn. But what are
we here for? Beef! That is my an
swer, gentlemen. We came here for
beef, and beef we must have. Did |
hear some gentleman speak of trust?
Let the Slan6erer stand forth. Trusts?
We can't have trust in Minnesota, be-
cause we have no beef. and having no
beef. we came here for beef. We are
opposed to trusts, except the particular
trust which we ourselves hold upon the
state treasury for ninety days. What
is beef? Beet, gentlemen. is COW. 1t
is not mutton. What is trust? Gen
ntlemen, am too full for utterance. A
trust is 'sinch;' it is soup; it is,
gentlemen, just what we have got here.
Gentlemen, the trust must moi 60"
We shall be i'll st. Louis tonight, and
then we are going to see an octoroon.
We don't know what an octorOon is.
but Hompe says he is sure it is con-
nected with trust. Forbes suggested
that we bring one back to the legiSla-
ture to show them what trust is, but
Sumner says it wouldn't do, because an
0ctoroon is private trust.
Our expenses to-day were as folio WIS
