UNCENERoUs DEMOCRATS.

A number of the leading Democratic
papers of the country have criticised
Mr.. CLEvEAND because he attended
the funeral of eX-President HAYES;
but, greatly to their credit, majority
of the great Democratic dailies commend
his course. A pathetic side TO the affair
is now revealed, which may cause these
ungenerous dailies to relent. 1t trans
pires that Gen. HAYES, shortly after
Mr.. CLEVELAND was elected, wrote him
letter of congratulation and promised
to be present at his Inauguration. Mr..
CLEVELAND, when he heard Of the
death of the ex-president, was deeply
moved, and abandoned all his affairs to
attend the obsequies at Fremont. A re-
port, said to be based on excellent au-
thority, has it that Gen. HAYES voted
for MIR. CLEVELAND. But whether or
not the report be true, certain it is that
the course of MI. CLEVELAND meets
the approval of great majority of his
party.

THE SONG OF THE INVESTOR.

What with market variations, uncer-
tainty as to congressional tariff aud sill
yer action, rumors of wars abroad, a
possible cholera visitation, Insecurity as
to another seasons crop returns, and
thirty or more state legislatures in ses-
sion, the investor of today will be par
doned if he is more cautious than usual
in making up his mind as to where he
can advantageously put his money. A
man may reasonably hesitate to invest
these days in almost anything, except.
perhaps, government bonds and life in
surance policies. He who has small OF
large sums to place in almost anything
else may we'll sing:
When the legislative grinder init grinding,
Isn't grinding;
When the member ism t Matching out his bills,
Out his bills;
He loves to set his scanty wits a finding,
Wits a-finding;
Some other way of adding TO our ills,
To our ills.
Then's the time he cooks up buncombe reso-
lutions,
Resolutions.
Squelching every corporation meath the sun,
Meath the sun;
All, take one consideration with another,
With nother;
An investors lot is not happy one,
Happy one.

NUMEROUS MEASURES
OfMore or Less Interest Presented
so i'm the House.

There was barely a quorum present
when the roll of the house was called
Yesterday afternoon. The grinding out
of bills began almost Immediately, and
was continued for over an hour, despite
MANY efforts to adjourn. Mr. Winston's
bill was the ouly notable measure of
general Importance to be introduced.
Its reading threatened to hold the ses-
sion long after supper time. so when
some one again moved to adjourn, the
/ motion prevailed unanimously. Only
! few sections of the measure had been
read. A synopsis of its provisions, of
which change the present election law
in many respects and modify it in others,
can hardly do justice to its scope.
Following is synopsis OF bills intro
duced, with their reference:

FRUITFUL AGITATION.

Already the agitation for good wagon
roads is bearing fruit. Missouri and
Iowa have captured the honor OF being
the first to move in the matter. Both
states have set OH foot measures for
macadamizlng the highways leading to
market towns with stone or gravel.
Minnesota has before it an admirable
example of enterprise, and the coming
state convention has within its reach
data upon which to base ideas. The
snowfall Of this winter will make muddy
and many impossible roads i'll the prai-
rie districts. With immediate measures
many Of these highways may be con-
verted into excellent roads for spring
service. The good roads which our
neighbor state at the south will have
very soon will tend to increase its pop
ulation, and Minnesota must not be be-
hind the times.

THE GOVERNORS PLAN.

Gov. NELSON recommends to the leg
islature that it pass laws obliging the
railroads to permit the erection by
farmers of elevators and warehouses at
all stations and sidings, with neces-
sary sidetracks and switching accom-
modations. Citing one Of the many
instances in which road had refused
to put in sidetrack to a farmer ele-
vator, he says: The railroad company
in thus obstructing and defying this
righteous claim of the association. OBJ
structs and deties the whole dignity and
power of the state. 1t is not for rail-
road company to say who ought or
ought not to have warehouse and side
track facilities"
There is a careleSSness about this lat
ter statement that discredits the legal
knowledge of the governor, and sug-
gests that he was indulging his desire
to tatfy the farmer vote, rather than
attempting to state legal proposition.
There can be no defiance of either the
dignity or the power of a state unless
the opposition is made to a positive
constitutional enactment of the state, or
to it's common laW.inStead of the wishes
of an association. even If it be OF farm
erS.
Waving the questionable constitution
aity of law which would oblige rail
road to devote its property to purely a
private purpose, as would be the con-
Struction Of sidetracks aud switches for
elevators and warehouses owned by
individuals or companies, and ad-
mittlng that such law would be con-
stitutonal use of the states power, the
question remains: Why should the
farmers of the state be compelled to
build their own elevators OF warehouses
to escape from a combination OF cor
porations which the governor now
tacitly admits the existence of, however
dubious he may have been during the
campaign? Are they now so we'll sup
piled with houses and barns and the
thousand and one other appliances Of
farm life and work, that they have the
surplus to invest in these structures?
Have they no other and better use for
that money? If there exist a means of
supplying the need which will require
of them no expenditure whatever,
would that not be better? Is money
invested in a warehouse for the ship
ment of his grain productive invest
ment? Could he not make better use
of the money?
And again, does the governor think
that the farmers tributary to any sta
ton are able OF willing to build elevators
or houses, even should several join? And
what relief is there for the others who
cannot build? Is the governors plan
capable of relieving all of the farmers of
the state? If it is not, then it is class
legislation for the benefit Of those who
are able to avail themselves of it. The
fact is that the great bulk of the farmers
have not the means to build or share iii
building these elevators aud ware
houses. They are obliged to market
and sell to meet debts, and when these
are paid and provision made for the
coming year there is no margin left for
such investments. 1t is giving to such
a stone in response to the request for
bread to tell them that they can escape
the combine by building elevators of
their own,

A SUBSTITUTE BILL
Will Be Presented for III. f. so,
With q Minority Report

At the meeting of the house commit
tee on railroads last evening, to further
consider Mr.. Vansant'S bill. known as
House File 60, to abolish ticket scalp.
ing, Mr. BOggs offered a substitute
measure which differs from the original
in that it provides the license fee shaI
be 50: removes limitations on tickets to
be redeemed, aud provides that unused
portions of tickets are to be redeemed
by the railroad companies themselves,
at the difference between the fare for
the distance actually used and the
amount paid.
Mr.. Howard said he could see 10 diff
ference between Mr.. Boggs' bill and the
original. except in the provision to
abolish limited tickets. He called at
tention to the fact that the redemption
clause was exactly as in the original
and really provided no remedy for ticket
holders. The bill, he held, was also I'M
constitutional, in that it prohibited the
transfer by one man to another of prop
erty he had bought and paid for, as, for
instance, if he purchased a ticket and
for any reason could not use it, or any
part of it. be would be liable, under the
proposed law, to fine and imprisonment
if he sold it to neighbor who wanted
to travel on it.
Mr.. Boggs read the law of Pennsyl-
vania touching the same subject, claim
ing it had been held constitutional. He
further claimed that there are no scalp
erS in Pennsylvania at present, outside
of Pittsburg. He read largely signed
petitions from citizens of Duluth, stat
ing at the same time that lie differed
from the petitioners on every point
made against the bill. At the same time
he admitted he had never seen pc
titions signed by better class OF
people. After reading the petition. Mr..
Boggs opined that if the petitioners
knew as much CT the merits of the bill
as himself they would be as strongly in
its favor. Then he went on TO make an
extended analysis of and argument for
the bill, son behalf Of the conductors"
He claimed that in the case of round-
trip tickets sold at one fare or one fare
and a third, it would not be
fail to the railroad companies
TO ask them to return any
money beyond the difference be
tween the regular rate for the distance
actually travelled and the price paid for
the ticket originally. II submit, gen
tlemen," said Mr.. Boggs, ''that even the
railroad companies have some rights"
The gentleman had with him satchel
containing evidence to sustain his ar
gument, in the shape OF books from the
offices of railroad companies. relatingto
refundlng of money. etc. 1t is only fair
to say, however, that he disclaimed any
connection with or interest in the bill
except from the standpoint that ne be-
lieved the bill to be a step toward lower
rates for travellers.
Mr.. Comstock presented substitute
for section 5 of Mr.. Boggs' bill. which
would give the bona file ticket holder
specified return for any whole or par
tlal ticket on specified scale of price.
Mr. Boggs objected to the substitute

Senator Wood Proposes Solution
fthe Land Grant Problem.
Senator Wood introduced bill pro-
posing an amendment to the constitu-
ton that will, if adopted, dispose of the
large railway grants that are so detri-
mental to certain counties in the state.
The main provision follows:
That section 80 of article 4 of the con-
stitution of the state of Minnesota be,
and the same is hereby, amended by
adding thereto the following:
Provided, that all real eStat e belong
ing to railroad corporations, or to which
any railroad corporation may have be-
come entitled through any grant of
lands to said corporation, and not held
or used in or about the construction,
equipment, renewal, repairing, main
tanning or operating the roads of such
corporations, and which shall remain
undiSposed of by the same for the term
of two years from and after the adOD-
ton of this amendment, then and III that
case said real estate, so remaining un-
disposed of or still held by said corpora
tions, shall be forfeited to the state.

A CORRECTION.

In preparing the table of figures Civ
ing the real estate valuation in the
article on the income tax bill. in yester-
days GLOBE, the value of city and
town lots only in the several counties
was inadvertently given. Including
all the real estate in these counties, the
total real values of the seven agricult-
urai counties is s23, ,206, and in the
seven counties containing large cities
1t is S29S, ,305. .502.
Thus corrected. the inequality, while
not so glaring, is sufficiently striking
to enforce the point made in that
article. The ratio of personal to real
property in the country is as one to over
three, while in the seven containing the
cities it is one to SIX.

The latter were not at sea as to what
should be done, but they feared the
