LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
1he 37th Leslslaturs OF Minnesota Ola
Its s9esslon,

1hO 97th LoSIslAturO OF Minnesota Ol0s00
Its session
81. PAUL. April 20. The twenty-sev-
enth legislature Of Minnesota. is q thing
Of the past. AS one Of the members re-
marked the record is made and. by It
the members must stand. Saturday
the 18th was a day remarkable for the
amount of work done and the length OF
the session. When the members came
Into the chamber it was noticeable that
they had the night before carefully
laid away the fighting clothes they had
worn for forty eight hours and APP
peared arrayed in suits of brotherly
love and were strongly imbued with a
determined SENSE to get right down to
work by shutting of all verbiage and
frown down frivolity.
The session began r: =. ..snptly aFo !. m.
and w.t.. rne exception Of two short
recesses for dinner and supper, lasted
until Bis u. m, OH Sunday. The session
had been open but an hour when the
general appropriation bill as passed by
the Senate was taken up and considered
by sections Everything went along
all right until the clause appropriating
$s5, 900 for the establishment 81 . beet
sugar. factory was reached, and then
the Alliance members made fight
which resulted in expunging the para
graph.
The concluding section was reached
about p. m, All Of ths Senate amend
!tnents had been fought bitterly but
with little avail. Speaker Champlin
taking the floor called Mr.. Stockwell to
the chair, and pointed out that the diff
ference between the original House
appropriation bill and the bill returned
from the Senate was 1854, 900. OF this
amount $s0;O0o WAS additionai To the
Soldiers Home, $35, 900 for new bind
ing Irvine machine and $4,000 for a
revolving fund, making q total Of s65,-
600 against which appropriations the
House had passed and no objection had
been raised. Then the Rochester asy-
lum appropriation had been increased
$50, 900, against which no objection
could be raised nor had beeh, making
$295,o Of the difference. The Senate
bill had been amended by striking out
the $4,000 appropriation for beet
sugar factory bounty, leaving the diff
ference between the original House
bill and the Senate bill only $4,000.
The following sums Of Money are APP
propriated out of any moneys in the
state treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated belonging to the general revenue
fund, for the payment Of certain gen
eral expenses of the state government,
for the fiscal years ending July, 1892 and
1893: y.

the arbitrary actions of the Republicans
in the last Congress. He made reference
to the determined Democratic battle
against these abuses last fall, and the vic
tory which resulted.
'In the popular branch of the next
Congress-" said he, ''the party which
lately arrogated to itself the domination
OF that body will fill hardly more than
one-fourth OF It's seats. Democratic Gov
ernors occupy the enemy's strongholds
IN Iowa, Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin
and Michigan. In PENNSYLVANIA. the
election Of a Democratic Governor pre-
sented conclusive proof of Republican
corruption exposed and Republican dis
honesty detected. But, with all these re-
suits OF just and fearless Democratic
policy, our work is not yet completely
done. and want to suggest to you that
any relaxation of effort within the lines
established by the National Democracy
VIII be violation of the pledges we gave
the people When we invited their coop
Grafton and undertook their cause.''
Mr.. Cleveland said he did not forget that
we are Immediately concerned with the
state campaign. I'm the present condi-
ton OF affairs it is not to be supposed that
any consistent and thoughtful member of
the Democratic organization can fail to
see 1t hls'duty to engage enthusiastically
and zealously in the support of the ticket
anu pldllO1IIl WHICH represents our I2TTV
III this campaign"
At the conclusion of his SDaecb which
was frequently interrupted by applause.
GoVern0r Hill appeared, and turning to
him with a bow, and then again to the
audience. Mr.. Cleveland said he did not
think 1t necessary to say more, and could
not say less, than that Governor Hill was
there
AS the Governor stepped forward he
was greeted with an outburst of applause
similar to and as prolonged as that which
greeted Cleveland. When 1t subsidized he
said i'll part: 'Our platform renews the
party'S pledges of fidelity to the sound
principles OF finance. 1t reafIirms the
National Democratic platform of 1884
Whlch explicitly. declares that we believe
in honest money; gold and silver COIN
age OF the constitution and a circulating
medium convertible into such money
without loss. That is a declaration in
favor OF double standard in favor of
blmetallism; in favor of gold as well as
silver and silver as well as gold. 1t
recognizes no legislative disparagement
OF one metal to the enhancement of the
other. 1t makes them both sovereign.
both legal tender for the payment of
debts
However honestly individuals of our
party may differ as to the means OF at
tanning perfect bimetallism, we are all
agreed upon the Gesirability of attaining
that end. Our platform unites all Demo-
Gratis upon common ground of honest
bimetallic coinage. Whatever method of
attaining perfect bimetallism the leaders
Of our party in their wisdom may decide
to recommend in our national platform
next year, the conditions Will then de-
termine, and we may safely leave the
matter to their judgment. We have not
permitted differences of opinion on that
question TO intrude in our councils this
fail, and thereby endanger Democratic
success in this State at this critical elec-
tion.''

CASE REVERSED
The Supreme Court Upsets a Tulart
land Case Judgment

The supreme Court UpsetS a Tulare
Land Case Judgment
n Supreme Court opinion in the case OF
Il. A. MadduX, appellant, VS.. r.. a. Brown
was filed yesterday in Deputy Clerk Co.
vans office in this city. The contest was
for the right to purchase swamp land in
Tulare County, which is suitable for cult
ivation. The land was segregated by the
authority of the United States in 1855, but
had mot been sectionized. The court
found in favor of Brown, and that Mad
duN was not an actual settler.
The appeal was from the judgment and
from an order refusing new Trial OBJ
lection was made to certain rulings adj
mitting evidence, and that the evidence
was insufficient to sustain the findings.
Brown made two applications to pur-
chase. One was based upon an alleged
survey by one Newman, who assumed to
act as deputy of the County Surveyor of
Tulare County. The certificate OF ap-
pointment was not filed until after the
survey, and the Supreme Court holds
that Newman was not a Deputy Surveyor
and the application founded upon the sur
vey was void.
The Supreme Court says Maddux and
Brown each claimed to be living on
| the land, and had both previously applied
to purchase and had had similar contest
over the right. There seems to have been
something of a scramble to make the new
application. Brown states that he applied
to the County Surveyor for a survey; that
the latter being busy, at the request of
the defendant deputized Newman, with
the result appearing above.
Maddux also applied to the County Sur
veyor for survey, and this the Surveyor
made in person.
The court held that Maddux was not an
actual settler upon the land and saws.
I'VE fail to discover any evidence in the
record which would justify that find
ing, unless the Court found that plain
tiff's evidence was unworthy of credence.
If he did remove his family from the
place temporarily, only, and because it
was necessary for the health of member
of the family, such fact did not even tend
to show that he was not an actual settler.
We think the judgment should be re-
VerSed. -
