Mr.. A. N. DARE, the quiet and

pear, the pictures of dire distress and
privation that is sure to overwhelm the
good State of Minnesota if the legal
rate OF interest shall be reduced is set
forth IN no mistaken language, and the
loan companies are sending notices of
warming to their agents, designated to
strike terror to tho hearts of the in6i-
viduals who may want to borrow few
hundred dollars some time in the future,
Now, it seems to us that it should be
distinctly understood that the people
who are making all this panicy talk are
Interested in their pockets more than
in the welfare of the people, and with
out going into the question on its merits,
we would suggest that their statements
be ia ken with q few grains of allowance.
We do not believe the reduction of in

disastrous as these people would make

SACRED TO THE MEMORY
OF THE
TWENTY SEVENTH SESSION OF THE MIN
NESoTA LEGIsLATURE,

This monument is erected by sorrowing
friends TO mark the grave of fallen ambi-
ton and unrealzed hopes to the end that
humanity may learn the fuGlity of ante
election promises, the buncombe of polit-
ical platforms and the hypocrisy of all re-
formers and reform movements. High
aspirations and exalted visions of Il ITO
plan state accompanied by promises to re.
dress wrong, relieve the oppressed and
heed the cries of the people here lie buried
beneath the ashes OF broken pledges, of
violated covenants with the people, of
treason to the cause of the weak and of the
memory of & misguided political move
ment, conceived by denagogues to further
their personal ends. Let those who pass
this spot, pause and reflect upon the lesson
which 1t too plainly teaches: RATHER bear
the ills You have Ethan fly to others which

ST.. PAUL. Mar. 81, 1891.
The present legislature entered the
home stretch Of the free for all go-as-
you-please race last Monday, with just
three weeks more in which to finish
and leave for public scrutiny and public
criticism its complete record. The in
PRODUCTION Of bills closed Last FRIDAY.
$50 measures having been proposed in
the senate and 1886 in the house. MAX
ing the total for both houses during the
present session 2.0S6. Notwithstanding
the fact that fve-sixth OF the present
session has passed, it can not be said
that single general bill Of Importance
has been disposed Of and the leading
measures, to which the combine was
pledged at the last election. are vet to
be acted upon with a very fair chance
OF going down in the wreck of bills on
the last day Of the session. The inter-
est, railroad, grain and warehouse and
state prison questions, together with an
lnnumerable quantity of measures of
less magnitude are yet to be discussed
and settled within the three weeks lease
OF life granted to the Twenty-seventh
Legislature by the constitution.

Fourth--That the contractors at the
termination of the present contract be
required to vacate the promises and
yield its property up to the State.
Fifth-That different system of
bookkeeping be inaugurated and the
prison be put upon practical business
basis.
Bills carrying into effect all of the
above Recommendations have been in
troduced in the house.
A concurrent resolution has passed
both houses expunging from the rec
ords OF the extra session of the legis-
lature OF 1881, the impeachment pro-
ceedings of Judge e. ST. Julian Cox. bv
which he was removed from the dis
tllct bench. The passage of the reso-
luton was simply an act of charity to
the children of Judge Cox, who have
been resting under the cloud of their
fathers disgrace for years. Judge
Cox was impeached for habitual drunk
enness.
Governor Merriam has written his
first important veto of the present ses-
sion. The bill, which he declined to
approve, was senate file ST, charging
the powers OF trust companies and al
lowing them to do a general CONNER
cial banking business. Mr.. Merriam: s
chief objections to the bill were that it
jeopardized the interests of the deposi-
tors and enabled the companies to
divert the trust funds to the banking
department where they could be loaned
without security to the directors or any
one else, thus defeating the object of
the original law, authorizing the organ
ization of trust companies. The senate
undertook to pass the bill over the
governors veto but failed, there being
only 20 yeas to p nays. It required SO
votes to pass the bill over the govern
| or's head.

The special committee appointed to
investigate Henry Plowman's connect
ton with the Fergus Falls junket and
to ascertain by what authority he con-
tracted bills for transportation and
liquor, and cigars, submitted the fol-
lowing report Saturday;
I'VE find that TRANSPORTATION was
furnished for Is persons by order of the
ergeant-at-arms, who gave his receipt
to the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany for the same to the amount of
S1S5.SS. While we do not indorse the
order OF the sergeant-at-arms in assum-
Ing such authority, we find that the
committee was informed that transpor-
tatlon would be furnished and Was not
informed that it was not free transpOr-
tation.
'Therefore, we entirely exonerate
the committee from having any knowl-
edge that any expense whatever had
been incurred. We therefore recon-
mend the payment of the bill.
Upon Investigation Of the bill of
Anderson and Smith for liquors and
cigars we find that there is no such firm
IN Fergus Falls, and that in our opinion
it is huge joke
The report was adopted and the
State is accordingly S1S3.SS worse OF
for having the Hon. Henry Plowman
act as sergeant-at-arms.

That most Of these measures must
fail is inevitable. owing to lack OF. time
IN which to properly consider and dis
pose of them. The most interesting
and pertinent question. however, is Just
how the representatives of the combine
are going to explain this condition of
affairs to the satisfaction Of their con-
stituents. Already the Alliance organs
OF the State are becoming impatient
and inclined to place structures upon
the Fabian tactics of their, representa-
tlVes. Both parties to the combine are
beginning to realize that they must
bear the responsibility Of the legisla-
ton enacted by the present session.

answer for the broken pledges and un-

to be many. They realize more than
ever that the Republicans. who partici-

to which it can point with pride. The
bill. which has already passed the
house, is probably as nearly perfect
election law as there is anywhere in the
United States. It is the result of over
two years Of study by the author, and
represents the best fruit of his own
miad as well as Of other men. who have
made this subject a special study. The
bill, as has already been stated. extends
the Australian system OF voting to all
sections of the State and makes import
ant changes and improvements in the
law which was passed by the legislature
OF 1889, and applied only to cities of
10000 inhabitants or over.

The questions Of most interest. how
ever, to the sections Of the State where
the Australian ballot has not been tried
are the form of the ballot and the
method OF voting. The ballots are
called official ballots for the reason that
they are prepared by authority of the
state or county auditors or the citv
clerk. The expense Of preparing the
tickets is borne by the candidates. them
Selves each OF whom has to pay Ger
tain fee to have his name on the ballot.
Candidates for State offices have to de-
pOsit $50 cash with the State auditor.
while candidates for county and Iegisla-
tive Offices, pay d fee Of $40 cash to the
county auditor, and candidates for city
offices fee of S. to the city clerk The
same authorities deliver the tickets to
the Judges who receipt for them. and
are bound to account for the entire
number after election. In other words
the number of ballots voted. mutilated
and not voted must equal the number
received, thus removing any possibility
of repeating or casting fraudulent bal
lots. The ballot is furnished the voter
by one of the Judges and must bear the
Of two Judges. The voter then
retires into a private apartment or
booth where he makes his ballot. folds
it up and returns it to the Judge who
deposits 1t in the ballot box.
