FOOTPRINT ON THE CEILING.

| In the winter of 1874 Governor Davis of Minnesota, now United States senator,
 was candidate for the United States sen- ate against Alexander Ramsey, who had
 held that office for many years. The re-
 publican side of the legislature was so even- ly divided between the two candidates that deadlock prevented an election for sev- eral weeks. Chief Justice McMillan was finally elected as 8 compromise. During this deadlock the party in both houses held many secret caucusses in the senate chamber. These were held in the evening and of course the newspaper men were all on the alert for information concerning their important doings.
 Among them was Willis B. Hawkins, who at that time was s'stripling of the press" Now he is one of the best known writers in Washington. He had obtained access through numerous dark and hidden passages, and, by means of an improvised step ladder leading to trap door in the ceiling of the state library, to an unfinish- ed, unfoored garret over the senate cham ber Here with his clip and candle he sat near an overhead register, where he could look down and see and hear all that, went on in the caucus below him. For twelve nights he occupied this garret alone, and each morning members of the caucus were surprised anew at reading in the Minneap- oils Tribune, the paper Hawkins repre- scented, full and truthful report of their proceedings, for every day the most zeal ous search was made for the place in which it was known Hawkins must be concealed.
 On the 18th night Senator B, F. Drake, chairman of the caucus, thought he heard 8 noise in the garret overhead, and tnrn- ing his eyes up at the ventilator announced his suspicion. Wherenpon Hawkins start ed to make nasty exit from the garret, but fell between two joists and through the lath and plastering, catching by his armpits and dangling over the heads of the, affrighted statesmen about whose heads showered frescoed plastering to the extent of many score square yards. Him. self frightened nearly out of his wita, he clambered up again and crawled over the joists to the floor above the fotunda, where he made his way, up stairs and ladders, to the top of the dome, and there sitting mp on the trap door wrote his report by moonlight, made bright by a heavy coat of snow. The report closed with these words
 ssAt this juncture proceedings of the caucus were brought to an end by loot print made upon the ceiling of tbe senate chamber, and it is said by those who have viewed the hole that there is only oneft ot in the state of Minnesota that could have made it. ~ sts5 tt,lai ai 8sa

FINANCE COMMITTEES REPORT

EDITOR BULLETIN
The report of the Finance Com
mittee has been before the pubic
for some four weeks, and has been
carefully read by many. Although
containing the gravest charges
against officials, and disclosing ex-
traordinarv and, we believe, I'M
parallel methods of doing business,
not one single charge or allegation
has been refuted. The lame state
ment of one member of the House,
that the committee took upon itself
to construe law, is no answer at all.
The Reform Party claims all the
brains of the country, that being
true, why then does the brains
not give us some facts, some figures,
some data, so as to prove its claim
genuine?
Not one figure, allegation. or
charge, made in the report has been
controverted. The facts are, the
evidence is too strong for the late
Reform CD government; the Com
| ullIce HAS uOJS us WI lSb' A'0'AS

the only reward it receives from its
puny or live amateur detractors,

called Reform Party.
