THE HOUSE.

The STRUGGLED over theO Neill-Joy contested
election case began Immediately after the
reading Of the journal in the House this
morning Mr.. Patterson demanded the reg
ular order which was the vote upon his
motion to lay on the table Mr.. Burrows
motion to consider the vote by which Mr..
Joy was declared not entitled to his seat The
republicans disputed the accuracy Of some
of the roll calls last week, and Mr.. Bur-
rows, before the clerk began calling the
roll, ELECTED from the Speaker a very
definite statement Of the circumstances
under which member could vote under the
rule. Mr.. Reed stated that it was his pur-
pose last Friday when he asked permission
to see the roll call taken to see that this
rule was observed. 1t had not been OBJ
served, he declared.
The chair had not been informed Of any
viola tions of the rules" replied the Speaker
But the chair was aware of it neverthe-
less" retorted Mr.. Reed. The Speaker
made no response to this, and the roll call
began.
No Quorum.
The republicans refused to answer to their
names. Upon the completion of the roll call
1t was found that the democrats were
twenty short of quorum, the vote result

In order to obviate the necessity Of a call
of the House, Mr.. Patterson then moved to
adjourn, with the understanding that the
motion should be voted down.

point.

that the motion, under the special order and

THE SUPRErlE COURT.

The attention Of every reader OF the
FREE PRESS is called to the article
which appears elsewhere, headed
"Beware of Willis" and it ought to
be brought to the serious attention OF
every voter. 1t shows how he has
been willing to drag down the dignity
of the bench in order that he might
get seat thereon. 1t shows him up
the thorough, ranting demagogue he
is, and he should receive such re-
buke at the polls as will bury him
and his methods forever in this state.
Our supreme court has always en-
joyed a high reputation for its learn
ing, dignity, and high character of it's
decisions, and it should be the aim of
the people to see that the high repu-
tation it has so enjoyed is maintained
and the partisanship which has been
introduced by the Populists and en-
couraged by Democracy, and which
has led such men as Judge Willis to
aspire to a seat therein, should be
given fitting rebuke. AS well stated
in the article the executive and legis-
lative departments of a state might
for a time become corrupt with no
fatal consequences, but permit the
judicial department to fall into the
hands of political demagogues, and the
cause of free government is imperiled.
No purer, ADLER man with clearer
legal perceptions ever occupied seat
upon our ,highest court than l.. w.
Collins. His decisions have always
been models of law and justice. The
highest motions of exact justice have
always governed his actions. To turn
him down and put in his place such a
man as John w. Willis would be a
lasting disgrace to the state, and
make our judiciary the puppet of the
ward politician.
The fork in the road has been
reached, and it depends upon the peo-
pie whether they will preserve the
present high standing OF our supreme
court, or whether they will drag it
down with such men as Willis. Which
shall it be?

Cuts and bruises should receive i'm

become swollen, which can only be
done when the Pain Balm is kept at

some corn may be removed by apply

NOT THIS YEAR.
Electric Car Line a Mat
ter of the Future.

President Noe, of the Mankato
Street Railway company, in converse
tion with a FREE PRESS reporter this
morning, said no movement would be
made this year toward transferring
the system from horse to an electric
railway.
SIN fact" said he, ''such a thing
would be impossible at this time in
the face of the stringency in the mon
ey market. To accomplish the work
eastern capital to the amount of 49,
600 would have to be enlisted, for
Mankato people could not alone bear
the burden of such an enterprise.
"The present attitude of eastern
capital toward western schemes of
this character may be best described
by the feeling of monied men of the
country at the influx of gold into Eu-
ropean financial centerS. 1t is feel
ing of distruSt-of suspicion every
where, and some unforeseen event
must occur ere the tide of affairs is
turned and the idle money of the east
once more reverted to It's western
channels.
"Should the Republicans be gener-
ally successful in'the elections next
month"; they make decisive gains
in New York and other Democratic
strongholds, l believe that confidence
will gradually return, but year will
be required to bring about a condition
favorable to our enterprise.
"Our charter for an electric line, to
be sure, will expire in July, but we
have no fears about not securing a
renewal, going before the city council
as we propose to do with funds to
build and equip modern electric
line and power plant"
