of the expressed will of majority Of the
people at the following election. 1t is possi-
BILE, of course that bill may be presented
for your consideration to repeal the law, but
so confident am I that such measure would
meet your prompt and emphatic disapproval
that will not discuss the possibility OF It's
success.
REAPPoRTIoNMENT.
The duty, already too long delayed. OF re-
districting the state into senatorial and rep
resentative districts. and reapportoning the
senators and representatives therein, will de-
volve upon you at the present session. In
der the constitution this duty should have
been performed Immediately following the
state enumeration of 1885. Because 1t has
been neglected heretofore, however, the rea-
son for action by you becomes all the more
urgent. The shifting of population and ac-
cession by immigration since the last appor-
tionment make our present representation
glaringly unequal and unfair. According to
the congressional vote in 1856 the
Fifth district, with $4,000 votes. had
much smaller representation in
the legislature than the Third district
with but 80, 900. Ther. is district repre-
sented in this body with but one senator and
one representative, whose population largely
exceeds $4,000, while there are eighteen dis
tricls which show an average OF but 6,Z15
constituents TO each of their senators and
last legislature called attention to the in
equaliies of the present representation
in some detail, and urged an imme-
diate ereapportionment. but for reasons unnec
essary to enter into nothing was done in the
matter. 1t now becomes yo1r privilege TO
pass reapportionment law which viii meet
the demand for fair and equal representa-
ton, and thus in common justice repair a
wrong which has been permitted to exist too
long.
In closing desire to express my thanks to
the officers and clerks who have been asso-
ciated with me in the state government, for
the courteous and hearty cooperation at all
times accorded me by them IN the discharge
of my official obligations. They have per-
formed the duties attached to their several
positions with conspicuous faithfulness, and
are entitled to the thanks of all who regard
honesty, and fidelity i'll the public service as
virtues. As for myself. the record which now
closes must speak. Whatever its defects, |
shall at least carry with me into private life
the solace which comes of earnest endeavor to
faithfully administer the trust placed in my
hands by the people.

There are but six hundred seconds in ten
minutes. but in that time the senate author
lied Kandiyohi county to build court house
and issue bonds of $4,000. Senators are
undoubtedly working for a record. Their

The members Of the present house have
discovered that the house journal for 1887
is most grossly inaccurate, notable errors as

had fitted themselves snugly to Gov.
Merriam.
He was only forty minutes in reading
what proved to be an ordinary state
document. Rumor has it, though, that
originally Gov. Merriam had prepared
a message that would have proved de-

radical opinions, and in some measure
touched on the late campaign. When

GOV. M'GILL
Makes His Last Official Speech
and Bow.

Gov. McGill's last address is of too ex-
traordinary length for republication in
newspaper. Special recommendations
made by him were:
SPECIAL RAILROAD COURT.
Our courts are now almost constantly en-
ployed, and l doubt not would mu ch regret
10 bave the additional task assigned them of
making rates for ali the railroads in the state,
with the necessary examination into and
mastery of the complicated factors which
enter into the question of the reasonableness
Of rates under all possible and ever-changing
conditions. Besides, if every case of alleged
error of judgment OF asserted abuse of dis
eretion on the part of the commission can
be taken to the courts as at present organ
lied, there must result about as many
rules for the control of their action as
there are judicial districts in the state.
Under such circumstances the labors of the
Wisest and most efficient commission would
be largely counterbalanced by resulting liti-
cation and uncertainty. What, then, is the
remedy for the danger probably impending?
In answer to this would suggest thatit may
be found in the organization of special
court with jurisdiction to hear all questions
of law and fact which the railroad companies

why 1t Should BE Made Bright, CHEEKY

There are mistaken women who have
collection of second-best house furnish

tains, and these are brought out because
''winter wear is so hard on every thing;'
because the boys must stay at home,
and the first best can not stand the wear
and tear of their heavy boots and rough
hands.
There is a difference between per-
missible exercise within doors and the
lawless rioting that means ruin and
destruction to every thing breakable.

every ebullition of natural and innocent
boyish fun, nor viii she permit wanton
foolishness, which makes the house un-
endurable to every body but the rioting
youngsters themselves. There is hap
py medium, in which the general happi-
ness, comfort and well-being may be at

with the best rugs and carpets.
Fortunately it is becoming the custom
in these, when houses are heated
throughout, for people 10 use the par
lors, which were formerly closed and
kept sacred TO oceremonious occasions and
formal callers. Most mothers realize
that the best is not too good for their
own, and that familiarity with refined
surroundings tends to permanent refine
