The legislature can best serve the
people by sitting up nights in order to
pass the apportionment bill. and when
that is done. instantly go home. The
legislature of 1889 will pass into
history as one of infinite asininity. Ii
ought to change places with the asylum
for imbeciles. There is not really all
able man in either the senate or house.

They are needed by scoundrels who use
evidence manufacturers to hide their
wholesale robberies. 1t the state is un-
able to supply its own polio force it is
unworthy of respect and should go back

publican.
Ii the Legislature makes any changes
in our temperance laws we hope some
severe punishment will be provided for
people who make hogs of themselves
by getting drunk. 1t is inconsistent to
tax a man for selling liquor and then
punish him if he does. Ii a man drinks
let him bear the full consequences, and
don't make the saloonkeeper shoulder
his sins.--St. James journal.
The people are to be judges whether
prohibition, high license, Or free
whisky is best conducive TO their hap

There are members of the legislature
who love jim Hill Of tue Manitoba, and
before whose eyes dance visions of
Dig, hornless, black bulls, who are ever
ready to let the interest of estate fall
into the soup, while they help Jim
buckle his skates OH. But such is life
and such are the men who boast that
they can buy up any number of county
papers at $100 each.-Sleepy Eye Her

The adversary in question is Sam
Nichols in his official capacity as oil in

and still have q handsome margin to
repay him for his arduous labors Of in

The vendors of meats and fish in st.
Paul should place the representative
from that county Oh the free list, and
send him the first cut behind the horns
for the introduction of the bill prevent
ing the sale of meats and fish on Sun

few of them have found their way into
the; legislature this winter, Lake CryS-

During his visit home last Saturday,
Senator Brown told us that on his re-
turn to st. Paul he was going to make
all effort to get the legislature to adj
ionrn at an early day, for neither house
was doing anything to earn the salary
paid by the people. Judging from the
proceedings appearing in the daily pa
pers, there is more truth than poetry
about this t.-Pipestone Star.
The legislature has some days yet to
sit, At present it is occupied in pleas
ure trips. swaying between state pris-
ons and insane asylIms. Quite all ap-
propriate occupation. In the mean
time the oil Inspector gets in his work,
while the public examiner, the railroad
and fish commissioners, are resting on
their pen, rail and oar. The boiler in
spector has SO much to do that ROW and
then he misses a meal and some sleep.
The military staff of the governor is
kept busy night and day under the pres
sure of important business. -Houston
