The finding Of the remains of
what was supposed to be Mabel
Horton in the Mississippi river
below St. Paul, is, to Bill Erwin's
mind, proof positive that Walter
F. Horton is not a murderer. The
idea of powerful man like Hor-
ton permitting his wife and child
to drown in four feet of water is
preposterous. He is either MUIR
derer or a bastard. If the boat
was accidentally upset, had there
been a spark of manhood. in his
breast, he would have saved his
little daughter or died with her.

DELANo Eagle: The representa-

porations like to see in the halls of

ST.. PAUL Globe: It is all over
now, and when we look at the
monument erected it does not seem
to be quite worth the $165, 900
which it has cost. If the total ex-
pense had been $4,000, perhaps
the dissatisfaction would not have
been so general, but $165,000 is a
great deal of money, and there
ought to be something to show for

MINNIE" the UNIONS specis

"M1NN1E," the UNIONS special
correspondent at the Capitol, &C
quilted herself nobly all through
the session. Her letters were not
in the least overdrawn. And, by
the way, she has furnished us with
a magazine Of private information
that will be useful in the future.
Half has not been told about the
usury bill, the Currier bill, the
baking powder bill, the Duluth
annexation bill and the Duluth and
Winnipeg. Minnie, you are d
dandy.

The total amount appropriated for
the expenses of the Legislature was.
Sl65, 900 as against $150, 200 for the last
legislature. There has been no abate-
ment in expenses contracted for useless
clerk hire and no dimunition Of what
was called extravaganza in former
legislatures. The wheat steal'' in
vestigating committee, which was in
session for about six days taking ex-
parte testimony under the experienced
guidance of Bill Erwin, ran up a bill Of
So, l40.64 and had it's time extended be-
yond the life Of the legislature and
$4,000 more appropriated to continue
the investigation. This may be the
Alliance idea of economy but other
people are inclined to look at it in a
different light.
! In conclusion, the history of the pres
ent legislature is altogether unique and
unlike that OF any of it's predecessors.
1t will not, however, be fully written or
fully understood until the public has
had time to deliberate and form a more
mature Judgment, so that it is probably
just as we'll at present to draw the vel
over it's performances until the opening
of the campaign of 1892, about year
from now. In the opinion of the best
and most sagacious politicians, how
ever, there can be but one result of the
acts of the present legislature, namely
the disintegration Of the Alliance anl
the return of it's members to old party
lines.

Union Special Correspondence. f.
ST. PAUL, April :21, 1891.
The last act Of the Twenty-seventh
session of the Minnesota legislature was
given yesterday and the curtain was
finally drawn on the official career of a
body of men, who are likely to occupy
a unique position in the history Of the
State. There has never been atime
when more was promised to the people
and less done; there has never been a
time when the prospects of remedial
were brighter or the oppor-
tunities better and the results so la
mentally few. For years demagogues
have cried that the Republicans were
plundering the State, misrepresenting
their constituents and legislating in the
interest of the corporations It was
this cry that gave the Democrats and
Alliance a combined majority in both
branches Of the, legislature and all but
swamped the Republican State ticket
last fall. It was this combination that
assumed control of the legislative de-
partment of the State in january, plas-
tered with pledges and sworn to re-
forms of every conceivable nature. The
people were to be protected in their
rights, the tyranny of corporations was
to be abated and an administration of
economy, retrenchment and reform was
to be inaugurated.
The legislature has adjourned under
the provisions Of the constitution and
it's completed work now becomes the
subject Of legitimate criticism, and the
question what has been done for the
people?'' becomes proper field Of in
quiry. The answer need not be long.
The people asked for a revision Of the
interest laws and the reduction Of in
terest to 6 and s per cent, and to this
Legislation the combine was pledged.
Notwithstanding this, however, no in
terest bill passed. A Republican meas
ure, S. F. No. /, introduced by Mr..
Davis, was allowed to die in the house,
and the same fate befell the Bull bill in
the senate. The combine promised to
reduce expenses Of the State govern
ment and decrease the burden Of taxa
tion, and yet this same combine appro.
priated nearly 100000 more money for
current and extraordinary expenses 81
the State than the last legislature did.

To cover this extraordinary extrava-.
gance the tax levy had to be raised
from i. Z mills Z to 20 mills, an increase
of five-tenths Of a mill, the highest tax
levy ever imposed for State purposes
since the State was organized. It is
safe to say that no question touches the
people SO closely as the question Of tax
alton and how the Democratic-All Alliance
combine is to escape the logical verdict
upon their official acts it is difficult to
understand Unless all indications fail
there will never have been Legislative

which has just concluded it's career.

inal anti-slavery man, and 90 strong
were his convictions that they finally
led to his separation from that
party. Among the significant
incidents of his career may be
mentioned the fact that, in the tempo
rary absence of David Wilmot from the
House Of Representatives., during the
session OF the Twenty-ninth Congress,

ure since known as the "Wilmont pro-
viso" had to be presented or the Oppor-
tunity irrevocably lost, Mr.. Hamiin,
while hiss anti-slavery friends were in
the greatest confusion aud perplexity,
seeing that only q seconds delay would
be fatal, offered the DILL and secured its
passage by vote of lis to LOG. In
common, however, with Abraham Lin
coin, Mr.. Hamlln strove simply to pre-
vent the extension of slavery into new
territory, and did not seek to secure its
abolition.
