SENATE.

SENATE.
The most entertaining incident in con-
nection with the senate proceedings was
the introduction by MIR. Day of a bill
proposing constitutional amendment
which will restore the old system of sixty
DAYS sessions for the legislature. 1t is
the opinion of the reform members of
the senate that the legislature can do up
all its work inside of a couple of months
if it is so disposed.
Mr.. Stevens interest bill was reported
back by that gentleman with the recon-
mendation that it pass without amend
ment, Mr.. FL. F. Stevens reported a
substitute allowing agents to charge q
per cent. commission IN addition to the
interest. Voted down. The question
was then taken on the passage of the
original bill. and it was carried by the
narrow majority of 55 to 35.
Among the bills that passed was the
house bill, as amended, proposing an
amendment to the constitution declaring
that five-sixths of the members of jury
is a sufficient number to determine civil
suits. The much contested Canada this
tie bill was turned over to Senator Eaton.
A discussion OIL timber culture fol-
lowed. House file 155, relating to the
encouragement of higher education,
which provides for the appointment of a
secretary to the board of education, met
with opposition from Senators Bowen
and Pope, and was sent to the judiciary
committee. Senate file 270, relating to
banks and banking, requiring that all
private banks shall use the word 'spri-
vate" on their signs, letter heads, checks,
etc.. to distinguish them from incorpor-
ated banks, brought forth an animated
discussion, in the midst of which the
senate adjourned.
BILLS PASSED. TO propose an amend
ment to section 4, article 1, of the con-
stitution, to provide that only five-sfxths
of a jury will be required to determine
civil actions.
TO authorize and declare the effect Of
certified copies of deeds.
registers of deeds.
judgments made by the state auditor.
To amend the law relating to the So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty.
To regulate the sale of lands by relig-
ious corporations.
Many other bills of purely local In
terest.

just before adjournment, Mr.. Ell. F.
Stevens bill making three fourths YER
dict sufficient in civil cases, came back
from the senate with an amendment
substituting fve-sixths for three-fourths.
Mr.. Stevens accepted the amendment
and the bill was again passed. Messrs.
Barr, Dunn, Fleming, Halgren, Hanson,
Husher, Lassow, Maland and Merz vot-
ing against it.
Mr.. Heidemann sent up bundle of
"a petitions from various parts of the
state, demonstrating against the submits
sion of constitutional prohibition. Be
sides these there were fifteen others with
2,S47 signatures, all claiming to be legal
voters of the state. This is straw.
Mr.. Willrich secured the passage of a
resolution requiring any committee
which determines to report back any
measure adversely, to inform the author
of the bill of their decision before making
the report.

A Telling Blow for Ireland.

4
Following the exposure of Piggott,
the London Times self-confessed forger
and perjurer in the Parnell case, come
developments of scarcely less interest in
the story as to how Piggott was discov-
cred to be the forger of the letters attrib-
uted to Parnell and others. 1t is impor-
tant to note that this discovery was made
in the interior of the United States, by
Mr.. Patrick Egan, a resident of Nebras
ka, and that had it not been for this aid
so promptly furnished from this side OF
the water there would probably have
been no way to prove the forgery Par
nelf's case would have depended on his
more denial, and while that would have
satisfied great many people, it would
mot have satisfied the court or the public
generally, especially an unfriendly pub
lie IN Great Britain. The Times would
have gained great victory, the English
Liberals would have been embarrassed
and the cause of home rule would have
suffered disaster.
This is not the first time, says the Min
neapolis Journal, the friends of Ireland
in America have struck a telling blow
for that unhappy people who ask for
justice at the hands of their oppressors,
and it will not be the last. MIR. Glad
stone has borne personal testimony to
the value of American sympathy and
American public opinion to the cause of
home rule, and the time has come again
when public opinion in this country can
make itself felt to the advantage of Ire
land. 1t is an opportune moment for a
general and emphatic expression in this
country in condemnation of the great
conspiracy now so completely over
thrown, and for renewing the demand i'll
the name of justice and right, that home
rule for Ireland be conceded. The enc
mics of Ireland are in state of rout and
decentralization. 1t is time to push the
fight. America, as nation, may not do
more, but her people ought to speak now
in the name of liberty, and in such tones
that their voices will be heard distinctly
on the other side. 1t is part of the mis-
sion of this great republic to let its infu-
ence be felt in the world on the side of
self government and free institutions.

Four-Year Terms for County
Officers.

st. Paul Dispatch: There is now bill
before the legislature, introduced by Rep
resentative Crossield, relating to the
terms of all county officers, which ought
to commend itself to all who desire the
promotion of good local government,
a valuable end which is certain to be
accomplished by the passage of this bill,
is the alienation in Office of the county
treasurer and county auditor. An audi
tor and county treasurer coming into
Office together, without perhaps even a
rudimentary knowledge possessed by
either, of single or double-entry book
keeping, are public characters of vast
possibilities the direction of harm.
Without aid from some quarter, they
usually are about as well qualified to adj
minister local finances as they are to
teach Sanscrit, and they necessarily con-
tinue in that condition for many weary
months after their installation. They
will have just reached the point where
they have learned something of each
others functions and methods, and of
thsir. respective obligations and duties,
when the day of official judgment dawns
and they are called upon to yield up a
trust which in great majority of cases
they have been dilligent and faithful in
the administration Of The election of
one of these two officials each alternate
two years, as provided by this law, would
remedy this additional absurdity Tie
extension of their terms respectively for
four years, represents the only other adj
ditional precaution practicable in the
public interest and consistent with peri
odical accountability to the people.
In other and older states a law with
like provisions is in satisfactory opera
tion. The officers who hold over become
thoroughly acquainted with their several
duties and are enabled to impart much
useful information to the incoming Off
eials which aids and improves the public
service.
We believe that the intelligent public
sentiment of the several counties of the
state favors the enactment of Mr.. Cross
fields measure.

When Mr.. Days bill on the oil inspec-
torship came up on general orders in the
senate that gentleman had an amend
ment inserted limiting the fee compensa-

but Mr.. Bowen still maintained that the
only way to dispose of the question was

Mr.. Durant put in joint resolution
declaring the administration of President
Cleveland wise and patriotic recogni-
ton of the interests of the people of the
republic. Two or three senator's gave
notice of debate, and Mr.. Compton had
something to say about supreme gall. y
Mr.. Ward said he could not vote for any
such resolution. In his opinion all the
acts of President Cleveland had been
Numerically opposed to the best inter-
ests of the country. The resolution went
over under the notice. Mr.. Day then
put in one declaring the sympathy of
the senate with the Democratic members
in their grief occasioned by the fall of
the Democratic party from power, and
proposing an adjournment as mark of
sympathy. Mr.. Durant jumped up and
gave notice of debate. Mr.. Brown moved
a recess of thirty minutes in order that
senators might have an opportunity to
'.rejoice with those who do rejoice, and
weep with those who weep" It was
found, however, that the senate had
completed all the work of the session,
and an adjournment instead of recess
was taken.

Rails for Japanese Railways.

The British Mercantile Gazette says!
The Japanese Government instigated
doubtless by disciples of the ponder
Gus" system of railroad construction
taught in England, insists on the use
OF 60-pound rail on some of the new
lines that are being built under its con-
trol, although the stockholders urge
that lighter rail would suffice.
According to the British Consul OF
Nagasaki, they assert with the Ameri.
cans that the 30 to 40 pound steel rail
is right for the three-feet six-inch gauge
they also favor the American locomo-
tive, which is peculiarly adapted to the
Arita Sonogi stretch of the Nagasaki
branch. Should the light rail be
adopted American rolling stock may
be in demand.
