THE bill now pending before the
State Senate and known as senate bill
No. 1895, should be killed, and that
promptly. 1t was introduced by Sena-
tor Hompe, who seems to have spec
ial grudge against the newspaper fra
ternity, and who appears willing to
O'erstep the bounds of propriety in an
endeavor to wreak out his personal re-
venge. The bill referred to provides
for the cutting down of legal publica-
lions to 40 cents for the first insertion
and . cents for each subsequent in
sertion. The legal rate allowed pub
fishers under the present law is lower
than the average of western states
and is quite little enough. Every
publisher in the state should file an
Immediate protest against this infam,
Gus piece of legislation. There is nc
demand for the enactment of the bill
while its passage would be gross in
Justice to every newspaper in the
state. Were it not for legal printing
many of the weaker papers in small
towns would be unable to exist, and
anasmuch as the present rates are
reasonable and just the legislature
should be called upon to let them
alone. If Senator Hompe wants tc
make record for himself that will
prove creditable, he should persue some
other course than to try and rob the
country publisher. Newspapers are
quite as necessary as legislatures, and
a mighty sight more useful and desir.
able than such as are made up of the
Hompe calibeI

COMPLIMENT TO LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR IVES.

Enroute from Chicago the other day
the writer drifted into conversation
with the elder Noyes, of the wholesale
drug house of Noyes Bros. & Cutler,
and the subject of state legislation
very naturally came up for discussion.
Among other things Mr.. Noyes said
that prominent Alliance member OF
the senate had remarked to him a
short time since that he had done one
thing for which he was heartily
ashamed, and that was taking from
Lieutenant Governor Ives the preroga-
tive of appointing the various stand
ing committees of the senate. He
said that Mr.. Ives was one of the most
straightforward, considerate and fair
men he had ever come in contact with
and that under the light Of these
facts the senate did its presiding Off
Ger an indignity when it bereft him of
the powers enjoyed by all his prede-
ceSSOrS..
Those who best knew Mr.. Ives felt
that before the close of the session
the members who were so eager after
place as to resort to anything to gain
their point, would acknowledge their
error. The action of the Lieutenant
Governor at the time of the organiza-
ton made him hosts of new friends,
and those who have since learned his
good qualities by coming in close con-
tact with him have the utmost respect
for and confidence in his integrity.
Such men as Mr.. Ives can bide their
time for yindicatiOn.

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

Election is over, the result is known,
the victorious are happy, the defeated
come up smiling, and the people of
Mankato can now settle down to bust
ness in the hope and with the belief
that the new administration will do
all in its power for thefurtherance Of
Mankato's interests and the encour-
agement of its industries.
To the average voter it makes little
difference who is Recorder, who is Mu-
nicipal Judge or who is Treasurer.
These offices have nothing to do with
the executive or legislative branch of
city government, and the gentlemen
selected will give as good general sat
isfaction as would the gentlemen who
were defeated had they been elected.
1t would, however, seem eminently
proper at this time to admOnish the
people from expecting too much from
Mayor Willard and his excellent CO.
laborers in the council. 1t is impos-
sible to pump life into dead corpse.
Suspended animation, however, may
be restored by the appliance of proper
remedies. The present inactive con-
dition of our city can be transformed
into one of life and thrift with the
united effort of all our citizens, aided
as it will be by a clean, business adj
ministration conducted upon economic
principles. 1t is high time that all
feelings of jealousy be cast aside
and a more generous public spirit
than has heretofore existed possess
the soul.
No city in the Northwest can pre-
sent advantages equal to those pos
sessed by Mankato. Its railroad facil-
titles are exceptionally good, its loca-
tion is unsurpassed for jobbing and
manufacturing, it is situated in the
finest agricultural district in this part
of the country, and there is no reason
in the world why it should not double
in population in the next five years.
Let us all unite for once and see
what can be done.

THE threat of Italy to fight us, has
had the good result of setting people
to look into the finances of that king
dom. 1t appears that Italy is really
on the verge of bankruptcy and, lin the
event of being called upon to fulfill her
triple alliance pledges upon the break
ing out of war in Europe, she wouldn' t
have money enough to put an army in
the f1eld.-MinneapoliS Journal.
While the above is true it is a fact
equally forcible that the little spat
with Italy has aroused our people to
the importance of coast defense. 1t
is high time that we made provisions
for self protection in the event OF
trouble with foreign powers.

SCRANTON, April 19.-Last Monday
George Phillips of Locust Ridge put a hive
of bees in the hind end of his light spring
wagon and started for his son-in- FLAWS,
along the old Sullivan road. While
ascending hill in the Spencer woods Phil
lips heard something scratching around the
end board, and, looking back, he saw bear
in the act Of clawing the hive from the
wagon. He gave the thievish brute a
smart cut with his whip, and it backed of
with a snarl of pain, but continued to fol-
low him to the top of the hill. When the
wagon struck the down grade the bear
rushed forward and again tried to pail
the beehive out but another cut of the VIII ID
sent it growing iuto the ditch, from which
it soon waddled, and made its third attempt
to get its claws on the hive Mr. Phillips
then whipped up his horse, and the bear
chased the wagon to the foot of the hill,
where il made lunge for the hive once
more. The BEARS persistence angered Mr..
Phillips, and, stopping his horse, he stepped
over the seat and dashed the bear around its
head and neck until it was glad to get be-
yond his reach. 1t went growing into the
bushes by the roadside, and Mr.. Phillips
started on again, thinking that he had at
last got rid of the troublesome beast.
No sooner had he urged his nag into trot
road. arose on it's launches, and made a
break for the hive over the off hind wheel.
Its DAVIS landed between the spokes of the
revolving wheel, the bear was thrown for
ward, all the spokes were broken out by the
bears legs, the hub struck the ground, the
beehive tumbled out on top of the bear and
then the wagon stopped suddenly. The hive
was cracked by the fall, and the angry bees
poured out and went to singing the bear !;
the bear beloved took to the brush in a
hurry, and tore through it apparently in
great pain, and Mr. Phillips deserted his
wrecked rig and legged it down the muddy
road 30 a safe distance.
Pretty soon the old nag began to snort and
act as if something was bothering him. In a
moment he kicked up his heels and tried TO
run away, but the hub dragged In the mud
and he finally broke loose from the
wagon and raced down the road toward
where Me- Phillips was resting on log
fence. azores of the enraged bees were
darting at the old nag's neck, but Mr.. Phil
lips didn't try to stop the horse on that &C
count. He galioped down to Horace Woods
place, where he turned in the barnyard all
out of wind and leaned against stack OF
straw for support.
MIR. Woods found the old nag covered
with mud, and there wasn't bee near him,
but he had been badly stung on his neck
and breast while cantering along the road.
Mr.. Phillips reached MIR. Woods twenty
minutes later, and he and Mr.. Woods took
rifles and went back to hunt for the bear.
They traced it to the edge OF Owl swamp,
where they found it wallowing in mud
puddle, and they fired three bullets into its
head, killing it before it had time to crawl
out.
