THAT CHICAGO TRIP.

A few of our exchanges seem to
have an entirely erroneous concep-
tion of the proposed visit of the Min
nesota legislature to Chicago, in that
they take the grou id that it Is to cost
the state a large outlay of money. Ii
the trip is taken not dollar Will be
borne by the state. The Wisconsin
Central railroad has generously con-
sented to pull a train OF sleeperS to
Chicago free of cost and the North
western line has aS generously eX-
pressed willingness TO return the
party to ST. Paul. Each member OF
the legislature and any state officer
accompanying the excursion will bear
his own expense for sleeper and hotel.
1t will not be ''iunket" either. A
large number of the representatives
have expressed desire to inform
themselves of the magnitude and
character of the exposition that they
may better judge OF the work
of the Minnesota commission
and of the needs Of the state Tor the
increased appropriation made. A Wis
it will convince them on this point,
and to the satisfaction OF the most
incredulous. Our state building was
erected with money provided by in
dividualS. 1t has now been purchased
by the state, and one of the features
Of the proposed trip is to dedicate the
structure to the purposes for which 1t
was constructed and to formally turn
il over to its rightful owners. In
stead of there being anything wrong
in this it is precisely the reverse. NO
legislative time will be lost to the
state, as the party can leave st. Paul
Friday evening and returning, reach
there Monday morning in time for the
usual hour of meeting. There has
not, since the legislature organized,
been a sufficient number of members
present on a Saturday to transact any
important business, and the two SAT-
urdays when business has been at
tempted, an adjournment was had
from the noon hour until 400 o'clock
Monday afternoon.
The notion, therefore, that the leg
islature would be violating a breach
OF trust, or that it would be ''junket-
ing at state expense is not true.
The fact is a trip to the World sFair
grounds would have the effect of max
ing every legislator who voted for the
appropriation feel doubly pleased with
his action and it would with equal
force make those whose votes were
recorded in the negative feel the in
justice of their position.
There can be no valid reason for the
legislature not taking the trip If it
wants it.

A GOOD MEASURE.

Representative GutterSOn has in
PRODUCED a bill into the house, which
intended to strike at the practice
of giving away liquor at auctions held
on farms. 1t is we'll known that the
liquor thus given away is intended to
daze the judgment and discretion OF
the spectators, in order to cause them
to bid higher than they would if in
full possession of their faculties. In
this, as in other counties, the prac-
tice has often resulted in the sale of
stock to parties who can i'll afford it
at double the real value. The meas
ure is intended to remedy this we'll
known evil, and is deserving of sup
port. It is as follows:
A bill for an act to prohibit the dis
position Of Intoxicating liquor upon
the premises where public sale or
auction is in progress.
Be 1t enacted by the Legislature of The
State of Minnesota.
SECTION |. Whoever gives, sells or
delivers to any person, upon the prem
Uses where a public sale or auction
is taking place or is about to take
| place, or carries upon, or prOcures an
other to carry upon, or has in his pos
session with the intent to give away,
sell or deliver to any person or per-
sons, any intoxicating liquor upon
said premises is hereby declared gull
ty of a misdemeanor; and upon con-
viction therefor shall be punished by
a fine or not more than one hundred
dollars (Sl00), or by imprisonment in
the county jail for not more than
ninety (90) days in the discretion of
| the court.
SECTION 2. This act shall take eff
! feet and be in force from and after its
| passage.

A Palice of Ice,

Nothing is so surprisingly beautiful
as an ice palace, which reflects back
the gold of the sunshine, and when
bathed in the silver sheen of the
moonlight looks like creature of
magic. Those who have seen such an
one in the past will bear this state
ment out, but, unfortunately for
art and ideality and fortunately
for commerce, Minnesota can no long
er support an ice palace of any extent
or magnitude. The climate is not
what it used to be, Once we rested
in the iron grip of Borealis Rex: now
We are in the banana belt ind will
soon enjoy the summer langour of
the tropics. Minnesota, in fact, has
many advantages, and one of them is
the St. Paul 81 Duluth Railroad
which runs from twins to twins in
short order. That is to say, it starts
at ST, Paul and Minneapolis and runs
30 Duluth and West Superior, and is
famed everywhere as the short line
between those points, besides run

word for the Duluth Short Line. fol
