ROME VS.. MINNESOTA.
Decorum Is Not a Feature of Mod
ePn Senate Chambers.

The order maintained in the senate
during the transaction of impol tant
business is sometimes disgraceful.
Members talk and laugh, and the large
crowd of lobbyists who are ever on
hand, lend their quota to the discord
which sometimes holds sway in the
chamber. A senator may speak. but
for what attention is paid to the words
falling from his lips they may as we'll
never have been uttered. Senator
Chapman called attention to this regret
able condition into which the chamber
often times lapsed, and said: Il have
often been led to contrast the old Roman
senate with this chamber. The
Roman senate existed 400 years
before the era of the Christian
religion dawned upon the world;
but it was then understood, when dis
tinguished member rose to address the
chair, attention must be paid to him and
silence reign in the chamber. You
could hear pin fall upon the floor.
But what is it to-day? Here, in this
senate, since the northern portion of
the state has poured down its excres-
cences and made such an Invasion into
the lobbies, declare that if bolt of
lightning struck the lofty dome of this
capitol and the thunder reverberated
down into this chamber, not member
of this body would notice anything ex-
traordinary had taken place. Laugh
ter and applause. | call upon the
presiding officer to have the rules en-
forced. [Applauss.l
Henceforth silence reigned!

SIFTINGS.

Senator Hixson had passed, under
suspension of rules, a joint memorial to
congress, asking for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the dredging and ,diking
of Big Stone lake. Residents of the
territory, Minnesota and Dakota, con-
slider it "a vital necessity" that the lake
be made navigable. 1t is thirty-five
miles long and the avenue to reach the
markets for vast grazing and agricult-
ural district.
Senator Pope-There is no doubt in
my mind as to the constitutionality of
the Scheffer meat inspection bill. It is
a sanitary measure, and on the police
regulation of the state; there is no ques-
ton but that it will be sustained. Min
nesota has nothing to lose in making
the attempt.
Senator Clarke came down a little
yesterday. Certain newspapers had
reported that the day previous he said

terests of the Duluth & Winnipeg

indefinitely postponed III. +. No. 3S4-

STEVENS NEW SCHEME,
A Bill to Exempt Property Used
Exclusively in Manufacturing.

Representative ii. F. Stevens, OF
Ramsey county, has drafted a bill
amending section 8, article OF the state
constitution, authoriZin the exemption
to the close of the year 1910 of
United amount of property used eX-
clus lively in manufacturing enterprises.
Brie fly the bill reads as follows. and
will be, introduced in the house to-mor-
row:
General laws shall be passed eX-
empting from taxation the property of
any person, company or corporation.
when such property is used, occupied
or operated exclusively in and about
the business of manufacturing goods,
wares and merchandise composed of
wood, or composed of metal, or of wood
and metal. or goods and merchandise
Of which flax, hemp, cotton or wool
shall be the component material of chief
value; but such exemption shall not
cover property exceeding 100000 in
value belonging to one person,
company or corporation. and such
exemption shall not extend beyond the
year 1910; provided, however,
that this exemption shall not apply to
the manufacture of logs and lumber.
This proposed amendment shall be SUBJ
mitted to the people of this state for
approval or rejection at the next general
election occurring after the passage of
this act; and the qualified electors of
this state in their respective districts
may at such election vote by ballot for
or against said amendment; and the re-
turns thereof shall be made and certi-
fed within the time required by law;
and such votes shall be canvassed and
the result thereof declared in the time
provided by law with reference to cleo
tons OF members of congress; and if it
shall appear thereupon that majority
OF the electors present and voting for or
against the proposed amendment to the
constitution, as provided in the next
section, have voted in favor of the same,
then the governor shall make procla-
nation thereof, and such amendment
shall thereupon take effect and be in
force as part OF the constitution of
this State.'
The promoters of this measure are
presumably the large investors at North
st. Paul and other suburban districts
adjacent to this city. The argument
not without justice-ls advanced that
money that now goes to the East can be
retained in Minnesota by the passage of
this proposed law. The pro and con
will doubtless be fully argued in the
legislature, but there is some reason to
believe that the progenitorS of the meas
ure waited thus long to secure its pas
sage without careful consideration. The
last twenty days of the present session
will be devoted to the cOnsidera ton of
bills, and if there be anything wrong in
the proposed bill some of the country
members who have nothing to gain by
its passage will doubtless discover the
discrepancy.

DEVELOPMENTS AWAITED.
Curran Is Expected to Betray
Wealthy Opium Smugglers.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., March 16.-Up to
the present time Curran, the man whose
sentence for completely in opium snug
CLING was suspended, has made no con-
fession, as was expected, or, at least, if
he has the detectives are the only ones
who are aware of the fact. Enough is
known to warrant the employment of a
large force of detectives, several of
whom are now in Canada in the hopes
of uncOyering the members of the gang
who are operating on the Canadian side.
1t is said that several wealthy citizens
of San Francisco will be involved when
the final expose is made, and that the
smuggling combination will prove one
of the strongest in the county. Curran
and his wife have departed, ostensibly
for their home near Bottineau, Oak.
The rumor in official circles is to the
effect that they are EN- route to Canada
to meet the detectives and aid in the
arrest of the smugglers. The officers
are dumb and refuse to impart informa-
ton, but it is well known that they are
to the capture of the wealthy members
of the gang. The report that General
A. B..Ward, the scholarly fraud who
climbed to the top in Dakota politics
and gained the confidence of the Indiana
managers during the campaign by his
able speeches for Harrison, is one of the
smuggling workers is not generally be-
lieved, although to those who have
studied the man it is considered more
than probable that he is now in Canada
under another alias. At the time Cur
ran was arrested for transporting the
smuggled opium several more shipments
of the drug were being made overland.
but the swindlers have so manipulated
their wires that the officers have thus
far been unable to trace them.

Whereas, The adoption of such laws

CAR COUPLERS.

With Automatic Counters,

Senator Bowen is the author of a bill
regulating the coupling of railroad
freight cars. By this bill the board of
railroad commissioners appoint three
experts for the examination and testing
of automatic safety couplers for
freight cars. The examination is to be
at St. Paul within six months from the
passage of the bill. and the examiners
are to report to the commissioners, who
are to furnish a copy to railroad man
ayers. After Jan. l, 1890, no couplers
shall be placed upon any new freight
car to be built or purchased for use
upon any steam railway in the state,
unless the same can be coupled or un-
coupled automatically, OF without the
necessity of having person guide the

COUNTY OPTION.
Pope County Is to Be Expert

The carelessness with which both the
senate and the house agree upon ''local

passed in the senate. Senator Thacker
introduced the bill. and its title runs:
IA bill for an act to authorize the legal
voters of Pope county to determine the
question whether licenses for the sale of
Intoxicating liquors therein shall be
granted or not" In other words it
means county option for Pope county.
Senator Thackeris prohibitionist. He
