THE FARMERS, PLEA.
Its HOllOwness Sounded by Nar
Ives. Of Ramsey.

Its HOllOyness Sounded by Mar.
Ives. Of Ramsey.
Mr.. Ives said the opposition to the bill
from the agricultural members could
not come from the enormous expense
involved by the bill. He demonstrated
that the expense per capita is infnites-
sinai, and went at length into the
equity of the case. Everything the agri
culturists had asked for as class had
been supported and voted for by men,
bers from the cities. Now it was not
fair or Just for them to turn on those
who had stood by them with steadfast
loyalty.
Mr.. Fleming said he was unalterably
opposed to ''tbe scheme'' of commencing
to build state capitol now. AT one
point he stated the figures read Wcdnes-
day by Mr.. Williams were untrue, and
went on to present figures showing that
Crow Wing County would before the
capitol was completed be compelled to
pay $4,000 Of the 100000. and if the
state continued to grow and the build
ing was not pushed as rapidly as con-
templated the proportion to be paid by
his county might grow TO $4,000. Ii
this bill was passed it would sink the
Republican party eternally out of sight.
Mr.. FurlOng said he would not vote to
unnecessarily tax brother farmer or
any other man. He considered the bill
under discussion was so carefully drawn
and the building of the structure would
be spread over such long series of
years that the poorest man would not
feel the expense. By the time the capt.
toll could be finished the state would
need it badly, as even now the present
building is not adequate to the purposes
it was intended for.
Mr.. Scofield said 1t looked to him that
the cities were trying to force new
capitol down the Threats of the farmers.
''He stated fearlessly" that there was
scheme, to which all the state instltu-
tons are parties. to enable the creatures
of the state to become the masters Of
the state. 81 agree with my friend,
Mr.. Dunn" said he, "that it needs no
Daniel to see the handwriting on the
wall which says that if this bill is
passed it will sound the death knell of
the Republican party"
Mr.. Fletcher spoke Of gathering up so
cents here and 80 cents there, and thus
making a dollar. He did not believe
there was any necessity at present for
undertaking such all expensive building.

LUMBER BILL KILLED.
Fees of the Surveyor General No
to BE Cut.

Fees OF the surveyor General NOT
TO BE Cut.
In the morning hour on motion of
Mr.. Greer the house reconsidered the
vote by which Ii. f. % was placed Oh
general orders.
Mr.. Fuller then moved that the bill,
together with the substitute of Messrs.
Wyman and Vansant, be indefinitely
postponed. Mr. Vansant moved to
amend that the bills be made a special
order for next Tuesday. Mr.. Fleming
raised the point of order that Mr.. VAN
SAINTS motion was not an amendment.
The speaker ruled it was a motion
which took precedence over Mr.. Full
ler's motion, and ruled the point of
order not we'll taken.
&Mr. Vansants motion was voted
down on a roll call, 81 to 40. Then Mr..
Fuller'S motion was adopted, SO to Al,
and the bills killed for good and all.
But before the negative vote was taken
there were several explanations. Mr..
Wyman said he desired, in assisting at
the ObSequieS, to accord honesty Of
purpose to the members of the commit
tee who had opposed Mr.. Vansant and
himself. He did not, could not, believe
the inSinuatiOnS in the public press that
corrupt influences had been at work.
While he deeply regretted the decision
of the house to kill the bill, and cOnsid-
cred it great mistake, yet he could not
refrain from according to the other
members OF the committee the same
uprightness of purpose inspiring MI.
Vansant and himself.
Mr.. Fuller said the majority of the
committee reciprocated the sentiments
voiced by Mr.. Wyman.
Mr.. VanSant Endorsed the utterances
of Mr.. Wyman. He said ii made little
difference to him personally whether
the fees of the surveyor general were
reduced or not. He did not pretend to
'know it ALL" and was learning some
thing every day. Though beaten, he
could go down with easy conscience, his
colors nailed to the mast.
Mr.. Markham said the Minneapolis
lumbermen had expected him to vote
for the bill, but petitions signed by ev-
cry working logger and lumberman in
his district had reached him protesting
against the bill, and he could not do
otherwise than vote against 1t.
Mr.. Booren followed in the same
strain. He could see no good in the
bill and thought 1t should be Indefinitely
postponed.
Mr.. Abbott offered a resolution CIV
ing an indirect roast to the Judiciary
committee for holding back II. E. GA, a
bill 10 declare express companies COM
mon carriers and providing for their
government and control, and empower
ing the railroad and warehouse COM
missionerS to fix charges. MI. Greer
gave notice of debate, and the resolu-
ton went over.

POLITICS DRAGGED IN.
The Member From WILLIE Laos In
Regrettable Mood.

The Member From WILLIE Laos In
Regrettable Mood.
Mr.. Vansant moved that when the
committee rise it recommend the bill
for passage.
Mr.. Fletcher moved an amendment
that the committee recommend the bill
for indefinite postponement.
Mr.. Dunn supported the Fletcher
amendment in vehement speech. "AS
a Republican," said he, 81 want all Re-
publicans to vote against the bill. You
may talk about your retreDchment and
reform, but if you go on piling up ap-
preparations as you propose the people
will laugh at your professions" He
went on to enumerate the various APP
preparations to be made, when Mr.. Ives
remarked: Remember the 81, 900 dam,
BObW
"You don't phase me bit, Mr.. Ives"
retOrted Dunn. THAT was as much
your woodchuck as mine."
The laugh went round, but MIR. Dunn
went on to quote taxation statistics of
several counties. "Does your Repub-
lican governor recommend this bill?
No. The outgoing governor did, but
he was st. Paul man. In the present
unsettled financial condition it would
be unwise to go ahead with this project.
A building can be erected in six years
as well as in ten, and you should be
willing to wait till two years from now,
or four years from now" The votes Of
three of the Ramsey county members
against the Markham bill were depre-
Gated, and the speaker closed with hot
exhortation against the bill.
MIR. Young opposed the erection of a
new capitol because there was no cry
ing necessity for it, and because the
| farmers are opposed to such large eX-
penditure of money at this time.
Mr.. KOerner said his people were alb
solutely opposed to the bill, as they felt
the present burden of taxation was
great enough.
Mr.. Moore asserted that he spoke for
| the passage Of the bill.
Mr.. Cotton could see no weight in the
argument Of his friend, Mr.. Dunn. that
| the building of new capitol should be
| delayed four to six years. II claim, "
| said he. ''this call to party loyalty is a
mistaken call. Whether man is Re-
| publican, Democrat or POpuIist, 1 feel
that he can safely 20 before his people
and stand squarely on his vote for this
measure. AS Republican, l ain will
ing to be recorded in favor of a new
| capitol that will be commensurate with
the dignity, growth and advancement
of the state of Minnesota" Mr.. Cotton
instanced many states below Minnesota
in wealth and standing which have
state buildings that are a credit to the
public spirit of their people.

WHY NOT TAXEDl
st. Paul q Duluth Lands Not on the
list.

Mr.. Anderson introduced a concur
rent resolution inquiring why the lands
of the st. Paul & Duluth railroad, &C
quired while the road was known as the
Lake Superior & Mississippi road, and
afterWard transferred to the present
company, have not been on the tax list
for the last fifteen years, as the United
States district court decided they should
have been in 1877, and also why they
should not now be placed on the tax
list. The resolution Was unanimously
adopted, and is as follows:
Whereas, In an action then pending
in the United States circuit court for
the district of Minnesota, of which ac-
ton and the subject matter thereof, as
we'll as the parties thereto. the said
court has full and complete jurisdiction,
it was, among other things, ordered, adj
Judged and decreed that all the lands
then owned and acquired, or hereafter
to be acquired, by the Lake Superior &
Mississippi Railroad company. one of
the defendants in said action, by virtue
OF land grants OF congress and by the
several acts of the legislature of this
state, and which said lands so granted
amounted to more than 100000 acres
of land situate within this state, and Of
JllC fttlNC VI iOl = GA1h C')sOOOs-
OOO should be sold and the proceeds
thereof applied in satisfaction of said
Judgment; and
l. Whereas, Said lands were, is pursu-
ance of said judgment and decree, on
the first day of May, 1877. duly sold to
William I'll. Rhaun, Edwin NJ. Lewis,
George Whiting, Nathan Harris, Fred
erick r. Shelton and Edwin A. Rollins;
and,
Whereas, Said sale was duly con-
frmed by said circuit court, and deed
of conveyance was then and there duly
executed, acknowledged and delivered
to said purchasers, whereby all of said
lands were duly sold and conveyed IN
fee simple to the said William Ii.
Rhaun, Edwin NJ. Lewis, George Whit
ing, Nathan Harris and Edward A.
Rollins and Frederick K. Shelton, and
to their heirs and assigns forever, and
which said deed has been duly re-
corded; and,
Whereas. BY the terms of said several
acts, by which the said lands were
granted to the said railroad company,
the said lands and all of the same be-
came subject to taxation upon the sale
thereof; and
Whereas, Said lands have escaped
taxation for more than fifteen years last
past, and the revenues of the state as
we'll as those of the counties. towns and
school districts where said lands are
