SENATOR DONNELLY's PROTEST.
In the senate last Tuesday the
protest Of the Democratic Alliance
corobination against the Republican
protest of last week was presented bv
Senator Donnelly and forced on the
records against the efforts Of the minor
| ity to keep it out. It was long and
able document on parliamentary proce
dure and was quite severe on Speaker
Ives for his partisan rulings, The
professionals declared that the constitu-
ton of the state has not made the pre-
sident Of the senate the custodian of
the consciences of senators. He IS not
member Of the senate. He has no
| law making function. He does not
possess even casting vote in case of
tic. 1t, of course, follows that he must
preside according to the rules which
govern all parliamentary bodies, or such
special rules as may be adopted by the
body itself.
Speaker Ives vacated the chair and
called upon Senator SanbOrn to occupy
it. HIS entered into long explanation
in defense of his arbitrary ruling last
week, but it carried no conviction to
the minds of the majority. Senator
Smith, Of Hennepin, upon whom the
Republican papers shower eulogiums
for his no1sy obstructive tactics, was
on his feet with objections galore
against entering the protest on the
journal, but there 1T went all the same.
SENATOR Sanborn, president protein.
being dressed in brief authority, took
occasion to say that the protest could
not be received against any act Of the
senate, but Donnelly appealed from his
decision and said: IAN I to under
stand shat the chair assumes the same
functions as the regular presiding
Iuf1cer of the senate? Will YOU drive
us to revolutionary measures?''
After some little sparring Senator
Donnelly introduced resolution scor
Ing the action of Senator Sanborn as in
violation of all parliamentary law, and
roasting the St. Paul man to turn. No,
tice Of debate was instantly given, and
then Dounelly moved that "the docu
ment entitled: "a protest from certain
senators aud signed by 20 members Of
this body bs entered at large suDon the
journal OF the senate"
Senators March, Craven, McHale AND
others took hand in the proceedings
the first named calling Mr.. Smith to or
der and disposing Of his sophistries
most effectually. The vote for insert
ing the protest in the journal was car
ried by Is to 20. the Democrats and tht
Alliance men voting solidlv together

BRIEFLY JOTTED.

safe to say that nc resolutions rejecting
on the honor and integrity of the repre-
sentatiyes Of the people will be intro
duced BY the offensive partisans in tn
minority. The majority will rule in tn
