ment Of that part of the state.

sariiy capable of running an engine.
Just as we'll say that the man who
helped build the normal school is capa-
bic of filing the Office of president OF
the school,, said he with force. "Why,
my friends" he pursued, ''the senator
from W:nona would have tbs hOd car
rier aspiring TO the presidency"
Senator Tawney retorted that to carry
this theory out to the uawrltIen end,
none but lawyers should be Legislators
and make laws.
"rhe Lord in his dlspensation has
seen tit to extend the element of intelli-
gence TO others than lawyers" replied
the Sage.
Senator Tawney, again taking up the
thread of his argument, insisted that
locomotive machiniStS must know how
to run an engine.
IL would like to ask the senator If the
pIanOmaker is necessarily musician"
Interrupted Senator Donnelly; but Sen
ator Tawney, i'll cOnceding the truth
fulneSS of this, claimed that the simile
did not apply. This sort of warfare
unctuOuS, vet earneSt-was kept up for
nearly two hours.
Senator McHale conceded the correct
ness OF Senator TaWney'S position upon
the conSututonality of the measure.
In anseloQuent ana argumentative plea
he insisted that, in order TO make the
bill good, qualification provision must
be included, and this declaration had
its effect upon Senator DOnnelly, who
straightway explained that, if the
Tawney amendment were adopted, he
should introduce an amendment TO the
measure authorizing the governor to ap-
point bOald OF competent locomotive
examiners to examine every man before
he should be given a certificate of fit
ness. Senator Hammer cOntended
that the tendency towards this
sort of legislation is menacing
the great industries of the country.
Carried too far it will crush every cor
poration in the land. Senator Tawney'S
amendment was adopted, and Senator
Alien offered an amendment providing
that the act shall apply TO common car
rierS only, or so as to exclude logging
railroads, There was no objection, and
the bill was recommended 10 pass, but

Senator Donnelly looked with sus-
picion upon Senator O'Brien's bill pro-
viding for the indemnity of purchasers
of tax titles. The bill, he said, has for
its purpose the encouragement of tax
title sharks. Senator 0'Brien explained
that the only operation Of the act would
be to repay taxes that shall have been
declared void by the courts. Senator
DOnnelly thought the bill should be
better guarded, and Senator McHale
opposed the bill upon the hypothesis
that there is already law providing
for the repayment of taxes, and he
could see no object in view save making
il sort of omnibus affair. Senator
0'Brien moved to recommend the pas
sage of the bill, but this was voted
down. He alone voted in the affirma-
tive, and the bill is still on general Or

BY NELSON'S REQUEST.
In That Way Alone Can Bills BE
Intro luced.

During the reading of new bills Mr..
ChesIey raised the point that 1t was too
late for the introduction of bills, under
the provision of the constitution, which
says that no bills shall be introduced
during the last twenty days of the ses-
siou. except on request OF the governor.
Messrs. Fleming, Wyman and Young
maintained the contrary position, hold
ing that the 2Sth day of March Qoday)
would be the last day OH which bills
could be introduced. The speaker did
not feel warranted in deciding offhand.
so the bills were allowed to lay on the
table temporarily.
After recess the speaker said he
would have to decide that the. point
raised by Mr.. Chesley was well taken,
and that the time within which new
bills could be introduced had passed.
In this connection the speaker directed
the clerk to read the reports made on
the same point by the judiciary COM
mittee In the sessions of 1889 and 1891.
These reports went into the subject at
great length, and clearly upheld the
decision of the speaker, who accord
ingly directed that the bills offered be

to sleep.
At II 80 the house went into commit
tee of the whole. Mr.. Greer i'll the chair.
The first bill taken up was ID. f. 394,
introduced by Mr.. Nilsson, aimed to
prevent any surrender OF abrogation of
the present transfer system.
Mr.. Nilsson moved that the bill be
recommended for passage. MIR. How
ard moved to amend that the Dill be ILL
definitely postponed.
Then lengthy debate enSutd. The
bill was hotly opposed by the Hennepin
delegation. backed by Mr. Horton.
They held it would be dangerous legis-
latlon, but Mr.. Hinrichs and MIR. Boggs
stated the point of objection more
strongly when they said the bill would
prevent any alteration of present unSat-
isfactory arrangements. Mr.. Hinrichs
instanced the Minneapolis case. in
which he held that city had been whip
sawed out OF valuable privilege.
Mr.. Nilsson stood up boldly for his
bill, and was strongly supported by
Messrs. Ives and Walsh. These gentle
men asserted that the masses OF the peo-
pie in st. Paul wanted the present
rights of travel and transfer absolutely
secured to them, so that 10 council,
or impelled by bad motives, could here
after deprive the people of their priv
ileges.
Messrs. P. III. Kelly and Horton op-
posed the bill. They took the position
that the city council should be left in
control of such local matters. Ii the
council betrayed its trust the people
could turn it out of power.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
preyailed, and the committee rose. On
the motion TO adopt the report Mr.. Ives
moved an amendment that the bill be
placed on the calendar. This was voted
down. 25 for, IL against, so the bill is
laid to rest.
At the evening session the following
bills were acted on:
