What the State Papars Have to Say of the
Defunct Legislature.

TEN DOLLARS PER DISH.
The ST. Paul Globe for the past week
or two has been dishing up it's annual
dissertation of Minnesota statesmen, at
the usual price.-St. Peter Tribune.
A MONUMENT OF BUFFALO CHIPS.
The legislature adjourns next Mn
day, the Goth, but before doing. - an
appropriation should be made to erect
a monument of buffalo chips to Its
memory. Osakis Revieeo.
STRAIN IS PROFANE.
Two days more and then-give
thanks. Minnesota's damn fool legis-
lature will stand adjourned, and the
things that have composed it will go
home.-Battb Lake Reyieu.
DISGRACING THEMSELVES.
If any more members of the legisla-
feel that they cannot let the session
close without disgracing themselves
Az the State, it is to be wished they
| would consider themselves already adj
iourned.-St. Paul Dispatch.
THE BIGGEST FOOL BODY.
The legislature of 81 is drawing to a
close, and when its final adjournment
is taken, the members can go home
with the satisfaction Of having been
members of the biggest fool legislative
body that has ever. convened in the
| State.-Pine CO1rotu Pioneer.
-. DOODLE DEFEATED THE BILL.
Representative Frank Battley has
been playing 'possum with the farmers
up in the legislature. Frank didn't
say a word until the Currier railroad
bill came up. That was his meat. He
not only rounded up the Democratic
vote against the bill but took nearly
dozen Alliance men into camp with
them st. Paul Herald.
AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.
A number of good measures have
been passed, but the best work has
: been done, as is usually the case, in
killing bad ones. It will be denounced
in the usual terms, but for all that it
will pass muster with those that have
gene before. In useless clerkships and
extravagences in that line it stands at
:. the the top of the list.--Iodd County
argus
ONE COMMEMORATE ACT.
The legislature has made provision
: for monument on the Gettysburg bat
tie field, as a memorial of the bravery
of the First Minnesota regiment, who
saved the day to the: Union forces in
that memorable conflict. The legisla-
ture by this one act of justice has ad-
, vanced materially in our estimation.
t May their constituents look with char
0 ity upon their shortcomings
y Change.
: NOT A SUCCESS FINANCIALLY.
; From a financial point of view the
u present session cannot be said to be a
. success. For extravaganza it beats all
former efforts, the expenses so far be-
ing S25, 900 in excess of those two years
n ago, while the door-keepers, clerks and
n funkies are more numerous by one
y third than during the last session. It
n may be put down as. a fact that Farm
v ers' Alliance legislation is failure and
8 that 100000 of the peoples money has
4 been literally thrown away.-Dela''a
4 Eagle.
-. A FIERCE BIAS FROM THE ALLIANCE
s." ORGAN.
. Before next weeks issue the legisla-
J ture will have adjourned The house
6 has made no record whatever-except
9 for ittleness-a tawdry, tinpan, pigtail,
e tinsel littleness The cartoon of legis-
9 lation has been relieved by few first.
;. class MEN-real, genuine, honorable
: men-plain men, good men-men whom
q we respect, if not love.
But as a law-making body met tt
- remedy mighty evils, and conform ma
. tional and State policies to the moving
panoramic, majestic, awful equities O
the hour-it was the rubber-rattle O.
n children-shaken by men who make
Il drooling infants of themselves at the
d will of an overshadowing political plu
Al tocracy. The senate has done better
70 McHale has been a shining light
If Eaton has a record. Davis is no
,e ashamed of himself by several leagues
S OF course Donnelly was the genius Q
1t the body-and Hompe its caudal eS
n. tremity. Several Alliance men dit
le well-but no development of statesman
m ship or masterful presence appeared
ID except that of Donnelly, although the.
70 remained firm. The senate record as
w whole is better than that of tn
r. house, but not savory. The Octarch,
e. carried the day.
