Almost at the last moment, the
senate adopted the Keyes election bill
which will hereafter do away with the
cumbersome Whitelnan election law in
cities of over 10000 inhabitants and in
stead we Will have the Australian sys-
tenn OF ballot to give a fair trial.

measures passed by the legislature dur
ing it's session of 'S9.

After a session of ninety days the leg
islature of Minnesota adjourned on
Tuesday last. When the clouds roll by
and the public becomes better able to
judge impartially of its acts, we believe
it will be found that, all in all, the late
legislative body was as faithful to the
interests of the state as any we have
had in the last decade, at least. AS

Most of these well-meaning and deserv-
ing people seem to have got left
through trickery and treachery of Off
Gals, etc., in the employ Of the present
administration at Washington. This
latter class seems to have got the cream
of everything few hours before the
territory had been declared open. IT

Massachusetts, must be overrun with
hypocrites. For years the leaders, par
ticularlY in the Republican and Prohib-
ition parties of that state, have been
calling for an opportunity that they
might be able to vote on constitution
al amendment which would make Mas
sachusetts a prohibition state. They
would carry it through by an over
whelming majority-they said so, but
