THE INTEREST BILL.

The alliance is seeking to shift the re-
sponsi5ility of the defeat of the interest
bill upon the two political parties. Well,
the parties can stand it, for the legisla-
ture did no wiser thing. Mr.. Capser, as
chairman ofthe Banking committee in the
house is entitled to the thanks of the en-
tire state for the sensible and effective
policy pursued by him in connection with
ton. Not only did such men as Caring
ton Phelps, chairman of the executive
.so.snittee of the state alliance, approve
che passage of the senate bill. but he re-
ee;yed personal letters from alliance men
all over the state urging him to use iniu-
ence to prevent its passage, for they felt
that it wosld be ruineas, The house
tsaSsed bill known as the Bull bill. which
reduced the interest, retaining the forfri-
ture clause as it now stands, but did not
have the outrageous features ofthe senate
bill. This Mr.. capser advocated, and it
MAS expected that the senate would take
1t up, and press it. The house bill was
by far the better measure of the two-it
made interest rates the same, but it was
free from the radical defects of the senate
bill. In Difference to the wishes of the
vast majority of the people of the state,
and in the interest ofthe borrowing class
IS, Mr.. Capser threw the influence of the
banking committee against the senate
bill, with the results above noted. Why
the senate declined to pass the house bill
IS a question which Mr.. Capser does not
pretend to answer. The responsibility is
with the upper house, but it is better as
IT is.

THE Republicans of the Senate on
Saturday made fight on the Reyes cleo
ton bill. known as the Australian law.
Their opposition took the form of an
amendment to require each voter to make
a cross opposite the name of each candi-
date, instead of a single cross opposite
the name of one being taken as vote
for the full party ticket ofthat one. The
latter is the present method of voting
under this system. The object of the
amendment is to kill the BILL 1t was
adopted by IL to Is. Should it pass in
its present condition, it will lead to great
confusion in voting. The Republican
Senators are not in favor of ballot box
reform.-lSt. Cloud Times.
THE democrats feel very much ag-
grieved oyer the action OF the republic
cans in demanding sufficient intelligence
on the part of voter to read his ticket
and know for whom he is voting. To
vote an entire ticket by merely making
one cross is simply putting premium
upon ignorance. The idea that it inter-
feres with the rights or privileges of any
one of sufficient intelligence to be en-
titled to vote is wholly untenable. Per-
haps it may, in degree, establish an ed
ucational qualification, if so, so much
the better. And now if the lines could
be drawn still closer it would be safe
guard in every way wise and commend
able. A man who hasn't sufficient in
telligence to read the ticken ought not
to be accorded the privilege of exercising
the right of suffrage.
