MINNESOTA STATE NEW
The constitutional Amendment.

E Z -
That the constitutional amendment
relating TO special legislation has been
adopted by a large vote is confirmed.
But the fears that have been enter
tanned, that its adoption would be in
furious to our cities and towns that
need the benefits which have been fre-
quently reached by special laws, are,
in the light of investigation, entirely
groundless. Regarding this Attorney
General Childs says: .'The newly
adopted restriction will take effect at
once, as soon as officially promulgated,
and will be in force and govern the com
ing legislative session, the first effect of
which will be to cast off the flood of
bills introduced every session in both
houses which clog legislation and over
burden every department Of the state
government"
what will be the effect" was asked,
ION the cities and towns of the state
which have heretofore had a large
amount of special legislation, such as
authority to issue bonds, for improve
ments and the like?''
None whatever. They simply reach
what they want by the passage of a
general law or laws, which will be
made broad enough to enable them all
to come in for their several needs. The
general law relating to incorporators is
an instance. All bodies desirous of in
corporation can organize under the
general law of 1878, just the same as if
separate bill were passed by the leg
islature for the Incorporation of every
distinct enterprise
The effect of this will be to cut off
very large per cent of the legislation
this winter, or hereafter. For the COM
ing session doubtless great deal OF
time will necessarily be consumed in
providing the general law made neces-
sary. To provide for this there are
several plans. One is to attempt to
cover, in sections of one general law,
all the circumstances under which, in
the experience of the state, special legis-
lation viii be necessary, from the
township organization up through all
the grades of villages and cities, and to
this end it is proposed to appoint a COM
mission to prepare code to report to
the next legislature. There will also
be necessary, doubtless, classification
of cities as to population.

child's proposals were submitted to the
conference this afternoon. They cover

Rothschild argues at length that bi-
metalism in Great Britain is absolutely
Impossible, and suggests that the ques-
ton arises whether it is not possible to

ther fall in values. M. de Rothschild
said he did not claim that his proposals
would prove a final solution of tie
question, but he did claim that they
would prove palliative. Summed up
his proposals are that America should
continue her present purchase of silver
(and the European powers should CON
tlnue to buy an amount equal TO f5.-
100000 a year for five years at43d. II
silver should rise above that price thc
purchases are to be Immediately sus-
pended. 1t is expected that the British
delegates will support this plan in the

age that in England they say it never
dies. There are ivy stocks ten or twelve
inches in diameter which are known to
have been planted as slips six hundred
or eight hundred years ago. An English

while the extreme moisture of the eli
mate induces a luxuriant growth and a
rich green, which is unsurpassed by
anything in the vegetable kingdom. 1t
