that any one should offer their services

There are many counties in this state
considerably larger than Ramsey coun-
ty, but there are few. if any, that have
more public institutions to look after.
What the Legislature Did.
During the last session of the legisla-
lure an attempt was made to increase
the salaries of the commissioners to SIS
a month. Ramsey county commission
ers were willing to accept $50, but as
Hennepin county was already paying
S75 per month, and the passage of the
$50 bill would have been class legisla-
ton, ard would not be supported or
consented TO by the Hennepin delega-
ton, as it would cut their own members
down, Ramsey had to ask for S75 also
The bill was defeated. and by Ramsey
county Republicans, and its defeat will
certainly have a bad effect when the

go on at least three to four committees.
and some of the members are on as
many as ten. These committees hold
meetings nearly every night of the
week preceding the regular monthly
meetings, which occur twice a month,
on the first ana third Mondays; and as
each member is on SO many committees,
he must attend and give up his time
nearly every evening OF the week to Off
cial duties. Here is the way one OF the
members expressed it the other day:
"My wife says that il she or the chill
dren desire to see me occasionally they
will have to move into the court house,
as spend about all my time there, and
merely come home to sleep" There is
considerable truth IN this remark, and
any one can verify it by simply watch
ing the commissioners room i'll the
court house the week previous to the BIZ
monthly meetings.
The Members and Their Powers.
The present board of commissioners
is Democratic, with the exception of one
member, but that member is SO
thoroughly democratic in his ways and
ideas that it is no wonder he was
chosen to represent the people on that
EOard, The six commissioners who
now compose the board are Paul La
vallee, David Hanna. Peter Daily.
Charles Lauer, C.S .McCarron and Robert
Seng, the Republican referred to above,
and it is undoubtedly the best board Of
commissioners ever elected by the
voters of Ramsey county. The city and
county are divided into three districts,
two members being chosen from the
county and four from the city. The
duties of the board as stated above
are beyond any comparison with the
emouluments, or even honOrS of the
position. and the powers are so muddled
that it may we'll be said that they
stand in the position of the
man with fixed responsibility
and an implied authority. The laws
governing their power, are so complex
and have been amended so many times
that it is almost impossible to tell just
what to do sometimes, and the services
of the county attorney have to be called
into board and committee meetings al

To Adopt Rules of Practice in
Civil Actions.
Wednesday the judges of the respect
i've districts OF the state will meet in the
hall of the house of representatives in
the state house. The meeting is to be
held under an act that was passed at
the session of the legislature OF 1878, of
which the following is copy:
The judges of the district courts of
the several Judicial districts and of the
several courts of common pleas of the
state shall, on the first Wednesday of
July next, or on some.day prior thereto,
at their election, meet in general SEES
sion at the capitol, in the city of st.
Paul, and adopt such general rules of
practice, in civil actions, not Incon-
siStent with the constitution and laws
of the state, or of the United States, as
will secure a uniformity of practice
throughout the state, as may be deemed
necessary and just. The said judges
shall meet annually thereafter, at the
same place, on the first Wednesday
of July, to revise such general
rules and make such amendments
thereto, and such further rules, not IN
consistent with the constitution and
laws of the state or of the United
States, as may be deemed necessary;
and the same shall go into effect from
and after their publication. The gem
eral rules so made shall govern all the
district courts and courts of common
pleas in this state; provided, that, in
any case, in furtherance of justice. said
rules may be relaxed or modified, and
party may be relieved against the effect
thereof. on such terms as may be just;
provided further, that any six of said
judges, so convened in general session
as hereinbefore provided, shall transact
the business and discharge the duties
imposed by this act.

almost every session. 1t would be a
good idea by way of suggestion if the
board would authorize the county at
torney sand his assistant to compile a
code covering all the laws or at least
the most important ones. in pamphlet
form, for the guidance of the commits
SionerS. 1t would involve a little work at
first, but would relieve the county attor-
ney of considerable annoyance as it is
at present, and his time could be turned
to other matters.
A prominent lawyer in speaking Of
this matter the other day said: mo
one really knows the powers Of the
board of commissioners of Ramsey
county. They not only have power in
the county, but can exercise it over the
city as we'll, and if they so desired they
could clog the machinery of the entire
city and county. According to law they
are really the supreme power over both
municipalities" This view Is conceded
i'll by many other attorneys.
Officers and Committees.
The officers of the board are the mayor
of the city in the person of Frederick p.
Wright, who acts as chairman: the au-
ditor of Ramsey county, James ii.
Burns, who fills the position OF secre-
tary, and the legal adviser who is con-
stantly called in to give pointers, Pierce
Butler. These gentlemen are all eX-
otficio members, having no vote, with
the exception OF the mayor, who eXer
cises the franchise privilege in the case
of tie. The various committees and

CLEVELAND, O., July L. Senator
Sherman was asked tonight by Leader
representative at Mansfield for his
views on the silver question. The sen
ator was averSe to being interviewed,

gress should express their opinions it
would lead to confusion.

vent the enactment of free coinage leg
lSlatlon which was imminent, and right
here is point where the inconsistency
of some of the Democratic opponents
of that law then. as now, is shown,
for, while opposing it, they favored
measure which provided for free
coinage of silver. The present law
provided for the purchase of 1900, 900
ounces of silver bullion month, where
as the proposed law provided for the
purchase OF S4,500,000 worth of silver
bullion per month. "Now we who voted
for the present law, which is far
better than the one proposed by the
free coinage men, will vote for the re-
peal OF the present law, or certain pOr-
lions of it. The only Objectionable
feature in the law is the clause reuuir-
ing silver purchase, and that 1 presume
will he repealed. AT ali events, shall
vote for the repeal of that clause my
self"
Senator Sherman declined to suggest
what congress should do. aside from
repeating the purchase clause of the
law. That was question for the Dem
Ocratic congress to decide. The senator
would attempt other legislation, and
said it was too early to decide whether
the calling of the extra session would
have q reaSSurIng effect.

The committee got together the exhibit,
but the general assembly of this year
ordered that it should not be opened
until it was decided that the fair would
be closed on Sunday. Two of the com
mittee requested permission of Chief
Peabody to withdraw the exhibit when
it was decided to open Sundays. This
request was refused, so that the exhibit
remains at the fair unopened.
