ed for Saltwater by Gov
ernor Nelson.
Sr-
Senators Will Not Visit the
Worlds Fair Until After
Adjournment.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 24,-The morning
session of the house was quiet one.
There was a vast quantity of routine
work, however, and it was nearly noon
before the introduction OF bills was
reached. The most important OF these
was Mr.. Dunn's, defining what shall
constitute newspaper for the pupllca
ton of legal notices in this state. LII
proyides that in addition to the require
ments already prescribed by law, the
paper must have an established office or
known place of business, equipped with
necessary materials and skilled work
men for preparing and printing the
same, in whole or in part, in the village,
CITY or county where it is GATED, ana
be generally circulated where the
office is located. No paper is to
be considered newspaper OF
general circulation until it shall have
been published at least one year In the
county and shall consist of not less than
four pages, of five columns or more to
each page, each column not less than
II ga inches long, OF its equivalent IN
space, and the publisher must issue and
deliver at each regular issue not less
than $50 complete copies to paying sub
scribers. Publications that are prac-
tically duplicates or are made up wholly
of patents or plates and patents and adj
vertisements shall not be recognized as
newspapers of general circulation.

In response to resolution passed by
the house some time ago Warden
Wolfer submitted a report of the cost
of manufacturing binding Irvine at the
state prison. Mr.. Wolfer stated that
the actual cost of manufacturing the
Irvine for the past six months had been
81 cents per pound. To this must be
added the cost of handling waste and
other expenses which cannot be fore
seen nor avoided, so that it would be
impossible as a business proposition to
sell the Irvine at cents to the farmers
of the state as desired by the house.
A communication was received from
Governor Nelson urging the passage OF
law authorizing the sentencing of

crowded condition.

ST. PAUL. Feb. 25.-The house de-

more opposition to the adoption OF the

their wheat John Ives and T. ID.

members, with the exception OF MI.

New Bills.

BY Guiderman-To provide for the reclaim
ing and draining of wet or overfowed lands
by county commissioners.
By McHale-To amend section 80, chapter
40 General Statutes of 1878, relating to deeds
and mortgages.
By McHale-To amend section ~, chapter
&C. General Statutes of 1878, relating to civil

By Grafe-To amend section 4, chapter 253,
General Laws of 1889, relating to the inspec-
ton of steam boilers.
By Tawney-To amend chapter 144, General
Laws of 1885, relating to weighing and hand
ling of grain.
The first bill on the calendar was
Senator J. d. Smiths, to prevent dock.
ing of horses. Senator La Due, as a
| breeder and dealer in the noble animal
was opposed to the bill. If the bill was
designed to prevent cruelty to animals
far more could be accomplished by q
bill to prevent the use of barbed wire
fences. Senator Smith denied that
! docking was resorted to for any pur
pose other than for making horse
stylish in appearance.
S. f. 143, Senator O'Brien's bill allow
ing corporations organized under spe'
cial acts to alter their powers, as corpo
rations organized under the genera
laws may do, was passed without objec
ton, but S. F. 145, by the same senator
was killed by vote of % to IS. TIL,
4 next bill was Senator John Day Smith
bill relating to to cruelty to animal
and the method of shipment and trans
portation of animals. 1t was opposed
by some country members, as it would
render the carrying of animals incon
venient or impossible. The bill wa
passed, however, by vote of SO to &

Both papers have tssmed with epiths'
and insult for everything western. TIL,
Weekly recently published portraits I
a group Of senator's. men Of the lhighcs'
character, aba and faithful pHbllo sor
wants like Vest and Cockrsll and Joho,
and Wolcott, over the untrue aud often,
sive title Of Enemies OF the Public Wei
fare" 1t has represented these mon "a
demagogues or ignoramuaes and their
constituents % ignorant snd dangerous
people. 1t has claimed that tho eastern
senators, on the other hand, wore rare
students of finance, statesmen and pat
riots, and that all financial wisdom was
bound MP in their constituencies. In
short, this offending newspaper, like two
or three other New York journals, whom
ever engaging in what IL 10 pleased to
call discussion Of public questions, does
not hesitate to aseail the abilities aud
the honesty Of the persons who are 10
unfortunate as to be on the opposite
side.
After Its slurs on the intelligence and
character Of western men, therefore, We
thought the opportunity a good one, to
quote it's own words against the men
from its own section-not by way OF ap-
proval, as Gov. Hauser seems to mag
ine-but to show how little authority
or credibility is to be attached to the
utterances of q common scold.
AZ to Senator Cameron we have re-
peatedly taken occasion recently to
speak Of him in terms OF highest praise
as q brave and true friend Of the great
interest Of our people. He is a republi-
can Of republicans and a Pennsylvania
OF Pennsylvanians and We strongly die
sent from many of the political doc
trines that he holds and which We be-
lieve to be heresies. But, like his illus
trious father before him, he possesses n
rare in public men and is not
afraid to utter his convictions at any
time. These are qualities that all men
admire. True, as Harper's Weekly says,
has neither e%loquenoe nor oratorical
powers, but better than either he has
common sense and loyalty to bis
own sense OF duty.
P. S.--We will act on Gov. Hauser's
'uggestion and print the speech Of his
distinguished friend from Pennsylvania
IS soon as We can End room for 1t, but
ve wish to say right now that we do not
gree with some Of his protection doc
rine and we want it distinctly under
TODD that we do not necessarily endorse
whatever we reproduce. We hope the
will boar this disclaimer in
mind and not hold us responsible for
What Mr.. Cameron says.
