Damned by Private Snaps.
James j. Hill. of the Great Northern
road. is credited with being a Washburn
advocate. This has done the senator
more harm than good. A gentleman
who knows the railway magnate quotes
MIN with saying that he is satisfied with
the way Senator WashburU has repre-
sented his Interests In congress. 1t

Hill Is a stakeholder in the Canadian

The Duluth people are against Mr..
WaShburn because he used his influence
against them in building his road to the
Sault Ste Marie. and urged improve
ments there, as opposed to Huluth. The
only people who are for Senator Wash
burn III Duluth are, those who were
benefited by a private scheme which
received government aid, in place of
giving the people the bridge asked for
across the bay. in place of these
schemes being a strength to him, they
will come up to mock him at the caucus
which will nominate q United States
senator.
Legislators Confer.
The legislative delegation from the
Forty-siXth senatorial district, COM
posed Of Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd
and Mile Lacs counties, arrived at the
Merchants last evening, and will re-
main in the city day or two. The
district is the largest one In the state,
and casts heavy Republican vote. The
delegation believes that it will be ell
titled TO some recognition in parceling
out the Offices, and will confer over the
matter. 1t decided to meet in this
city because it is convenient for all TO

panied here by number of prominent
citizens of the district. William M.

the Iowa Legislature, where he voted for
Senator Allison for his first term in the
United States senate. He has resided
eighteen years in this state. He said
that he was not anxious to come to the
legislature, but the party picked him up
and elected him. j. ID. Jones, of Long

the supreme court for the term pre-
ceding Mr.. Holcomb. A. f. Ferris. of

Less Law and More Sense.
Hon. Allan j. Greer, of Lake City, is
at the Merchants. He was a member
Of the lower house 70: two terms, and is
now senator-elect. He was an efficient
member. and, being a good lawyer, his
services will be more appreciated in the
coming session. Mr.. Greer saws that he
has been TOO busy attending to his law
practice since election 10 give much
study to politics. He is not posted on
the speakership nor the senatorial sit
uatiOns. His view is that the legisla-
tion should be such as will benefit the
state and not drive capital away. He.
like G. n. Bell, of this city, thinks that
too much legislation is the bane of the
state. 1t would be better to pass but
few laws. amend others and enforce
such as are on the statute books. He
will work in the line of economy in the
coming session. he says it will be well
to reduce the rate of taxation and delav
large expenditures of money until the
revenue from the iron mines, in the
shape Of royalties On mineral leases.

affairs of the state without levying any
tax.
