ALETTER FROM HOME.
Senator Roach Receives En-
couragement From Larimore.


Couragement From LarimOre.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The bot
tom has dropped completely out of the
attempt to perSecute Senator Roach, of
North Dakota. and the more the mat
ter is Inyestiga ted the more evident it
becomes that the articles were pub
lished simply out of revenge because be
refused TO be blackmailed With one
exception the papers in the East have
completely ignored the matter, although
all we're entreated TO open their columns
to the slanderous stuff. Senator Roach,
as his friends and acquaintanceS in
North Dakota know. is not the man to
be bluifed or intlmidated, and in this
case his bold stand has caused con-
sternation among the clique that started
out to annoy and perSecute him. and
escape responsibility for starting
and working up the stories.
Not one of the Washington papers has
noticed the publication in outside
papers. and tor the very good reason
that all OF them knew the source from
which Sthe matter came. Annoyed at
this attempt to perSecute Senator Roach,
the cashier of the Citizens National
bank, who succeeded hum. today stated
that the North Dakota senator settled
up the difficulty with the bank before
he went TO North Dakota, and that the
bank officials have always known his
whereabouts, and in fact have been in
communication with him during a good
part of the time. Cashier PearSail fur
thaY-stated that the bank officials could
not prosecute Senator Roach, even il
they so desired. as the matter had been
settled; and, further, tnat they would
not If they could. Senator Roach'S
many friends in the city are indlg-
nant over this attempted persecution.
But better than all this has
been the answer of North Dakota
to the conSpIrators, for to the people of
that state Is Senator Roach responsible,
and, after knowing him for fifteen
wears, their views are to be considered.
kilograms from all parts of North Da-
kota have poured in upon him express
ing confidence in his integrity and stat
ing that the people of North Dakota
will stand by him. From his home at
Larimore came the following message:
"Hon. w. ". Roach. Washington, ID.
c.: Do not allow the prosecutions of
YOUR Washington enemies to annoy you.
They are making you more friends, IL
that were possible, among both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans"
This was signed by men OF all parties,
among whom are n. q. LarimOre, n. n.

have paid no attention to the matter,
and the many fine committee places

best possible answer to the coWardly at

cause of the vast extent Of railway grant
lands in the counties. The claim had
been made that the lands were of little
or no value, and that they would not
sell for their taxes, and to meet this
phase of the controversy the senator
from Carleton asserted that the mini
mum price of the lands is So an acre,
and the greater portion is held at $40.
Moreover, there is no effort in many in
stances to sell at any price. The speak
er gave a strong array of figures in COM
parative sense to show that in the
state where there is no gross earnings
law more taxes per mile were paid than
are paid in Minnesota.
Senator Sevatson prefaced his argu-
ment that he had lived thirty years in a

Senator Hammer came to the front
with unique proposition. He said the
question mad resolved itself into
whether the state can sue itself. He
didn't know how to get the railroad
companies into court, and he didn't
know how to keep them out
of court. Senator Stevens answered
pretty cOnclusively, but Senator Ham
mer was not satisfied. Senator Stevens
stated that on the first of January sue
ceeding the passage of the act the gross
earnings will become due, and if the
railroad companies do not pay an action
by the state will lie.
"How can you keep the railroad COM
panieS out of the cOuTts?" again asked
Senator Hammer.
1--WE don't want to keep them out.
We want to get them in" reiterated
Senator SteveDs.
Then, If the court says it is two sys-
TENS of taxation and will not hold, we
lose the gross earnings"
That is right. Have l answered the
question:

Vigorous Kick against Drifting
From the Point.
A hint of politics had drlfted into the
discussion, and Messrs. Bleecker and
Dunn protested that politics had no
possible place in the question, but they
favored the amendment of the gentle
man from LIE Sueur, and were sup
ported by Mr.. Leonard in the argument
for commission of seven.
Mr.. Hanck did not favor more than
fiyb, while Mr.. Linnemann wanted
seven. So did Mr.. Cole, of Otter Tail.
A proposition from Mr.. Sails to with
draw his amendment was not enter
taihed, and the amendment was adopted
on viva voee vote.
The chairman was proceeding to put
the question on the adoption of the Sec
ton as amended, when Mr.. Fleming
took the floor to speak against the Sec
tiSn. II 1t was adopted, he said, it would
perhaps show that the bill was to be
adopted as a whole. Kill the section
and you cut the head off the bill, which
then might as we'll be thrown into the
wSSte basket. He held that it would be
iiIswise and unfair to begin the erection
efYa capitol building at this time. The
history OF all public buildings showed,
in his opinion, that the amount asked
foe was never adequate to complete the
wSrk, and for that reason and other
reaSons sufficient to himself he should
vote against the bill.

OPENING THE FIGHT.
Mr.. Boggs, of Duluth, Leads Off
in Good Style.

Mr.. BOgSS, OF Duiutn, LeauS Ou
in Good Style.
On assembly of the house after recess,
very few members were absent. The
lobbies were crowded with citizens who
evinced deep interest in the matter to
be considered, which was the bill re-
ported from the committee on public
buildings as substitute for Mr.. HOr-
toms bill providing for the erection of a
new capitol building.
When the speaker had announced the
special order the house resolved itself
into committee of the whole, with Mr..
Wacek in the chair. Before proceeding
with the reading of the bill the chair
man announced that he would insist on
the maintenance of strict order. He
warned members and spectators that no
talking would be allowed in the lObbeS,
and throughout the debate Mr.. Wacek
succeeded in keeping as good order as
the extent of the crowd would permit.
After Bob Deakin had finished read
ing the bill Mir. Boggs took the floor
and moved that when the committee
rise it recommend that the bill be
passed. He went on to argue in support
of the motion, first reading the report of
the capitol commission showing the ab-
sOlute necessity of new building even
now, whereas the bill introduced con-
templates having the proposed building
completed in not less than ten years.
The minority report of Senator McMil
Ian was also read, differing from the
majority only in the matter of limiting
the location. Mr.. Boggs then explained,
i'll terse and lucid language, the pro-
visions of the bill. On the matter of
appropriation, embodied in section Z, he
stated that on the present assessed val
uation of S600,000,000 the levy Of two
tenths of mill would produce S120.000
per year. This would make only $780,
600 IN ten years, but it is expected, he
explained, that the assessed valuation
Will increasei in sufficient ratio to make
up the two millions in ten years. The
speaker analyzed every section critic
ally, and his argument for the bill as q
whole was complete, mastery and con-
vinciug without becoming in any de-
gree tireSOme.

fuence him next year-indeed, there is
a well-authenticdted report that Day
went to his legal adviser, At

ton last fall, and requested that
portly gentleman to kick him around
his back lot for being such a coward as
not to 20 into the congressional race.
Day will object to the friends OF Sen
ator G. X. Davis backing Gov. Ives, and
with good reason, too, for, although he
was one of the men generally supposed
to be anti-Oavis, he turned inland with
the help of Tawney, of Winona, pre-

In going from school house to con-
gress, Prof McCleary closely parallels
the political record of eX-CongreSsman
Mark IL. Dunnell, who for so many
years wasthe absolute boss of Southern
Minnesota. In 1861 Gov. Marshall ap-
pointed Mr.. DunneH superintendent of

sofa colony. The result of the deliber-
ations Of this body-eyer so much more
important, politically speaking, i'll their
own minds. at Washington than in the
hurly burly of Minnesota politics-ls
that Prof. McCleary will have difficulty
in securing a denomination next year.
This is not because of anything that he
has done or failed to do up to that time,
but simply because there will be several
other Republicans IN the field after
the honor. There is very general
opinion here that eX-COngressman
John Lind regrets that he did not stand
for reelection last year, and 1t is well
known that he was deferred from so
doing by the fear that the low-tariff
forces of the district would be united
iinder one leader, i'll which case MI.
Lind felt that his chances would be
worth very little. Lind. however, will
not be a candidate against McCleary,
but there will be enough without him to
give the Mankato schoolmaster great
deal of trouble. The election OF
last fall convinced the Repub-
lican leaders of the southwestern

point that the amendment annulled the
bill, and Senator Smith conceded that
he was perfectly willing to so amend as
to meet that objection, and the lam

DOnnelly said he would vote for the
amendment with many misgivingS,
but the amendment was lost, and Sena-
tor LeavItt moved to recommend to

WINONA WITH Us.
Capt. Vansant Speaks for the Peo-
pie of His Section.


pie of His Section.
Mr.. Vansant said, in speaking for the
bill. when seconding Mr.. Boggs' mo-
ton: We need a new capitol, and you
have but to look around you to convince
yourself of this fact. Look at our as
sembly chamber, which is far too small,
with poor acoustic properties and still
poorer ventilation. The senate chamber
is equally as bad, if not worse. All de-
partments are crowded, and many of the
officers of the state will of necessity
have to soon find accommodations else
where. Go down in the cellar, if any
thing further is needed, and view the
museum and historical society, crowded
into a space three or four times too
small for them. These facts convince
me that this bill should pass. WheD
this capitol was built 1t was ample, but
we have grown since then. In order
that we may realize something of our
greatness and of our needs, let us look
at a few facts: Minnesota is great
state now. 1t contains within its bor-
ders $4,000 square miles and $1,000, 900
acres-a territory greater than all of
New England together, with Maryland
and Delaware.
We call New York the Empire state,
said he. yet Minnesota is larger than
New York with Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire thrown in and several millions OF
acres to spare. Our state would make
sixty-siX states the size of Rhode ISL
and. 1t is larger than England and Ire
land combined. Truly. Minnesota is a
vast empire-our resources are un-
bounded. The products of the wheat
fields ground into -four by our mills
supply the nations of the earth with the
best bread known since civilization be-
gan. For fifty years our great pine
forests have enriched the citizens
of this state and of many of
the other states of the Mis-
sissippi valley, and will continue
to do SO fQg aIiother half century to
come, The inexhaustble iron beds sit
uated on the shores of Lake Superior

Exciting scenes characterized yester-

red-letter day-a day of oratOry, and
dav of thrilling debates. The Markham
railroad taxation bill was finally dealt
death blow after consuming more time
than any other measure that has ever
been before a session of the legislature.
The debate was stormy, and every sort
Of scheme was resorted to to defeat the
bill by its enemies. Amendments OF
technical nature, so subtly drawn that
they were well calculated to deceive and
mislead, it is alleged by the friends OF
the measure, were offered, but they
were subsequently voted down. The
consideration was in the committee OF
the whole, and the committee reported
