ST. PAUL, April 8. The past week
has been an important one in lcgisla-
ton. Both branches from the start
seemed to be in sepi1chral mood, evil
deneiny y strong desire to bury meas
Gfes rather than to pass them. The
number Of small bills that have been
killed, either by indefinite postpone
ment or by ballot would number .
score or more, while Of the important
measures Of general public interest, ct
least three have been consigned to
oblivion. On the other hand there are
important matters that have had favor
able consideration Ahd advanced step
toward being formulated in laws.
81 In the House the principal event was
the loss Of the Currier bill. The defeat
of this bill does not in the least indicate
that the present legislature Is opposed.
to railway legislation, or laws that will
correct and strengthen the present
statutes, but rather that they did not
consider that House File 901, the Cur
rier bill, covered the case. In the bill
in question the feature that caused dis
trust was the clause establishing rates
and tariffs based updh distances.
Those opposed to the bill claimed that
the adoption Of the clause would have
the effect of raising tariffs instead OF
lowering them. The friends OF the bill
disclaimed this. When the bill came to
passage q call Of the House was or
dered and 104 members responded and

The table, but after lurid discussion, ex-
lending over halt an hour, the motion was

The sensation of the morning was caused
by Mr.. Trip OF Hennepin, who sent up q
resolution to enforce the rules OF the house
against the admission Of lobbyists to the
floor Tor the rest of the session.
Mr.. Penney. on behalf of his bill, made
astrong speech in which he pointed out
the cruelty OF the present law, which pro.
vides that executions shall take place be-

that SO tar as the provision of the present
law prohibiting the publication Of reports
OF executions was concerned it had never
been observed by any of the newspapers Of

After lengthy discussion, in which the
objections Of the people Of Saltwater to
have all the executions take place ut the

The Rose.


New York Evening Post: At all times
the rose has enjoyed peculiar favor a. q
sacred flower. MohamMedan tradition
says that, when Saladin captured Jerusa-
lem. he refused to enter the shrine Of the
temple. which had been converted into u
church by the Crusaders, till the walls had
been thoroughly cleansed and purified with
rose-w A similar story Is told OF the
church of st. Sophia at Constantinople,
when transformed rom o Christian place
of worship into Mohammcdan mosque.
Something OF the sanctity OFT the rose in the
Mosleln mind Of course be tranced to the
tradition. one OF many which have served
10 explain the origin OF the flower, that i,
Spranx from the blood OF the prophet. To
this day when Turk sees rose lying OH
the ground. he will be seen to raise it ten
derby and devoutly, and. alter kissing it, to
place 1t III some place of safety. The iol-
lowers OF Zoroaster have Theory that, prior
to the introduction Of the principle Of evil
into the world, therose possessed. no thorns;
and in the East it is tradition OF this day
that the burning bush, in which the angel
Of the Lord appeared to Moses, was rose
tree; while In tile Roman Catholic church
the rose still retains no little element o.
that sacred character which it would appea,
to have enjoyed in all religions.
