THE EDITOR.
BEFORE

Who in his sancmm sits up late And strives with sentences of weight To set to right affairs of State
 The editor-admire him. Who deeply mods the public thought, For money who can neer be bought, Who always for the right has fought:
 The editor respect him! Who notes what great men do and say, And files obituaries away When they shali die to print next day;
 The edltor-reyere him. Who gives us cure for cough or cold, Who suffers patiently and long And seldom use, language strong;
 The editOr-dOnt chide him. Who ignorance must ne'er confess, Who knows of all things more or less Or what he don't know sure can guess?
 The editor consult him. When youthful talent seeks to rise, Who views its growth with friendly
 eyes,
 Its merits quick to recognize:
 The editor-oh, bless him.
 AFTER. Who doth good judgment sadly lack, Who hath of taste not cen a smack? Who sent my little poem back?
 The eeditor-Confound him.

 City Committee.

At the meeting of the American Sec 1 tioU, held on the 4th inst, the subject for discussion was, "The Tactics of the American Section Preparatory to Eler- tion." The organizer stated that he would like opeu-air meetings best, but as he knew that this would not meet the approval of the members, he recon. mended home or house agitation, each member 10 invite to his house on suit | able evening friends and acpuaintances, lead the discourse 10 topic, of the labor question, propose another redcyou~, and then form loose organization, which eventually could be made into a branch of the American section A resolution was passed that the comrades report at each meeting their success or efforts made m regard to home agitation The corresponding secretary was in- structed to write to the Central Labor Union and request that body to permit the Section to sell their literature during the meetings of the (. l.. l.. The vote for delegates to the Paris Congress re- suited in two votes for Mcurguet and Walter; all the rest declined to vote be- cause they were of the opinion that none of the candidates proposed could represent the S. L. r. in Paris as 1t should be represented.

THE DUNNINGToN FIAsCO.
No Charges, No Witnesses, and
the Investigation Is q FiZzle.

No Charges, No Witnesses, and
the Investigation Is a Fizzle.
Capt. Huntington is avenged, and his
appointment as trustee of the soldiers
home will be confirmed.
Last evening the senate committee
which had been appointed to Investigate
the charges alleged against Capt. Dun
nington held a meeting at the capt.
toll. They had previously announced
that evidence would be taken, and
all parties interested were to attend.
Ihere was but one response, in the per-
son of Capt. j. N. Castle, who is chair
man of the board of trustees. The COM
mittee held their session behind closed
doors, but Capt. Castle openly stated
that he did not attend to prefer Or sup
port any charges. q simply come to
disayow the paternity OF any of the
charges floating around" He was clos
eted with the committee fifteen minutes.
Senator DuranJ inquired for witnesses.
and the committee waited around
awhile, but none appeared. and it is un-
! derstood that the committee will report
to the senate in accordance with these
facts. The confirmation of Capt. Dun
nington's appointment will be ratified,
as was several days ago predicted by
Senator Buchanan would be the result
of the investigation.
Capt. Huntington was not in attend
ance. but a messenger informed the
committee he was at the Merchants and
ready to come before them If required.
The committee having no charges to
consider, did not think it necessary to
call him.
1t is said that John Randall, of Wi
mona. who aspired to succeed Dunning-
ton, will now be made state grain in
spector, vice Capt. James.

Senator Durant reports that he spoke

questions in botany, hydra ulics, farm

eight of the pupils now attending are

IN NIGHT SESSION.
The House Works by the Light Of
the Moon.

I'm committee of the whole last night
: the. house was flooded with more bun
combe. demagegism and gush on the
'eld soldier question than any gather
ing of veterans has let loose for some
time. Jared Benson was absent. The
main bill under discussion was the one
introduced by Representative Searle,
10 provide for the publication of his
tory of the organization and services OF
Minnesota troops in the Rebellion. Mr..
Fleming was the chief opponent of the
bill mainly, as he said afterwards, to
provoke thorough discussion of the
measure. Messrs. Ives, Brown, Morgan.
Eastman. Underwood and Ell. +. Stevens
favored the bill. The question of feas-
Utility, cost. the battle of Gettysburg
and the civil war were all under debate.
On the cost of the book per volume and
on statement by Mr.. Morgan, Mr..
HuSher said:
Possibly you may think SO, bat men
of sense do not" (Uproarious laughter.
Mr.. Poe retorted to Col. Husher:
'sIf Mr.. Husher had been in the
country then and served four years in
..he army, he might look differently upon
this bill" The bill was recommended
to pass.
The jacobson bill, regulating the law
in regard to change of county seats,
was recommended to pass over the
Crossfield bilf or the same subject. The
bill authorizing Eittson county to issue
bonds for railroad purposes and to erect
a new court house was also faYorably
reported.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
A Proposal That They Should Be
Elected by the People.

Phe railroad commission is an eX-
haustive subject for legislation. A bill
has already been introduced 10y Senator
Whiteman to increase their term of
office to six years and their salaries
from $1,000 to s., 600 per annum. Senator
Day bow comes forward with bill
making the commissioners elective 0ff-
GERS and fixing their term at two years.
The bill is to be considered by the CON-
mittee on elections. Some opinions of
senators ON the bill are here given:
Senator Durant-At first [ favored the
the election of these commissioners, bu
upon giving the matter close attention |
be so easily packed in the interests of
one man, and believing that the gov
ernor will appoint none but qualified
men, shall support the present ap-
pointive system.
Senator Scheffer-Let them be elected
by the people.
Senator HALF doubt the advis-
ability of this proposal. but will not
commit myself until ali opportunity is
afforded to thoroughly consider the pro-
pesai.
Senator Swenson-1 warmly support
it.
Senator NJ. JohnSOn-Such change is
very questionable.
Senator Smith, oppose it. 1t would
not give tie Democrats a lOok-in.
Senator Brown-Let them be elected.
Senator Daniels-The appointment of
such important officers is best in the
hands of the chief executive, who is
held responsible for their acts.
Senator Kellar-lt will never do.
/ Opinion thus given is a fair index Of
the feeling in the senate, and presages
a stormy and short career Tor Senator

PRISON LABOR.
Representative sumner Devises
an Economical Solution of the
Problem.

Representative sumner Devises
Problem.
Representative Sumner. of the prison
labor committee, has some original ideas
of his own on the solution of the prob
lem, which are worthy of consideration.
Having given the subject more than
years study, Mr.. Sumner speaks by the
card:
''My idea is that for the present the
state should not be plunged into enOr-
nous expense for the adoption OF any
convict labor system, but that by care
full experiments we should pave the
way for the Legislature of 1891 taking de-
cisiye action. l favor the plan of taking
say $50 of the conviots to the st. Cloud
quarries and putting another batch
upon the wall of the state penitentiary
for the next two years, they working
upon the state account system while the
remainder would empty upon the con-
tract system at rate of not less than so
cents per day. Neither of these syS-
TENS should prevail longer than two
years, a sufficient time Tor the authori-
ties to ascertain which is the best and
which the legislature of 1891 can perma-
nently adopt. [ would provide as we'll
that at any time the state account sys-
TEN proved to be the best. the convicts
on the contract system might be drawn
off and placed under the former. There
suit would be. not only to employ the
eonvicts at moderate cost to the state
for the next two years. but to prepare
for future legislatures mass of valua-
Die information upon upon. which to
time, to involve the state in costly ex-
periments. What / propose is an eco
nomical solution of the question and a
direct course to the knowledge as to
what system of labor the state in the
end should adopt"
