knitting independence.

The time was, and not very long ago,
when we were dependent upon Europe
for almost all the machine made knit
fabrics consumed by our people. In 1850
there were but IS knitting mills in the
United States, these having capital Of
a little more than $500, 200. The census
Of 1890 noted 8O7 knitting mills, with a
capital Of nearly $50, 500, 600, employ.
ing more than 60, 900 operatives, paying
$18, 1888, 900 in wages, consuming $780,
900, 900 worth Of material and having
a product valued at $67, 637, 442. These
figures relate to the condition Of the in
dustry in the year 1890. Under the in
fuence of the higher duties Of the Nc
Kinley bill the total number Of knitting
mills in the United States has increased
in three years from 807 to 993.

A Small Blaze.

The residence of John Kruse, on
Third street south, was damaged by
fire ON Monday night to the extent

evidently from a defective chimney.
None of the family were at home at
the time and the fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway when discovered.
1t was a long run for the depart
ment, but as usual the chemical was
on hand first and put out the fire.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Senator Ozmun's Corrupt Prao.
tees Act Discussed and
ReCommitted.
1T MAY Be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Capitol Bill Made a Special
Order in the House For
March s.

ST.. PAUL, Feb. 19.-The senate had as
a special order for it's evening session
Senator Ozmun's corrupt practices act
s. F. 20. The author of the bill made a
strong speech in its favor, saying that
the corrupt use of money was one Of the
crying evils of the day. Senator Thomp-
son wanted to see corrupt practices act
passed, but this bill seemed entirely too
severe. Senator Stevens followed, max
ing a strong plea for the bill. Other
members spoke briefly and the bill was
then referred to the judiciary committee
which will endeavor ito amend the act
so that it will be acceptable to the coun.
try districts and not be unconstitutional.
The other matter of general interest
discussed was the bill providing that all
screens, curtains, etc., must be removed
from the windows of saloons; also that
all drinking bars must be in place ex-
posed to view from the outside. This
measure, which follows closely the lines
of the Massachusetts, law on the subject,
was killed by indefinite postponement.
The bill to prevent a common evasion OF
the law in local option towns was rec
ammended for passage and goes on the
calendar.
Bills Passed.
S. F. 9O-A bill for All act to grant addi-
tional compensation to judges of the dis
trict court in counties where court is in
session for more than 100 days. This ap-
plies only to St. Louis county and raises
their salary to 81, 500.
S. F. 324-A bill to amend sec. a., chap.
8s, general statutes of 1878, relating to
public lands. This bill is in accordance
with the suggestion contained in Gov
ernor Nelson's message, and it permits
the investment of the school fund in the
bonds of any state, not more than 10 per
cent of the fund in the bonds of any one
state.

GETTING MORE LIBERAL.
House Economy Committee Creates Few
Situations.

Situations.
The house heard another report from
it's legislative expense committee during
the morning, the chief feature being the
entire absence of that virtuous air of
economy which has so prominently dis:
tinguished past reports. Its first rec
ommendation was the appointment of
an additional clerk at S. to act as
stenographer for such committees as
need his services. The clerk seemed to
be really needed though Henry Feig
held an opposite opinion.
II was approached the other day."
said he, 'by clerk who said he had
nothing to do a large part of the time
and he would be glad to work for any
committee at any time I would call for
him."
Henry's little speech had the effect of
turning some votes, but on roll call a
large majority stood by the committee,
the ballot being 60 to IS.
The committee on public accounts
was also allowed an additional clerk at
$3.50 per day.
These Measures Acted On.
Most of the morning session was occu-
pied by the reports Of committees and
the introduction of bills. Just before
adjournment the calendar was taken up
and the following measures disposed Of:
H. F. 14S-An act amending an act pro-
hibiting the sale of spirituous liquors in
the vicinity of the state fair grounds.
Passed.
H. F. 167-An act fixing the time for
holding the general terms of the district
court in the Fifteenth judicial district.
Passed.
II. F. 87-An act in relation to the man.
ufacture and sale of spices, etc. Lost, Sc
to 20; So votes necessary.
H. F. 379-Substitute for H. F 104-An
act to amend an act to allow villages to
separate from township governments.
Passed.
Fifteen new bills were introduced,
but none were Of general Importance.
The Afternoon Session.
Upon reassembling the house resolved
itself into committee of the whole and
took up general orders, with Mr.. Doug
las in the chair. Fl. F. 218 was passed
over and s. F. 1914 was recommended to
pass. The next on the list was Fl. F..
210, to amend the present railroad laws
compelling railroads to construct Y con-
nections at intersecting points, and to
establish through joint rates to ter
minals and other points. The commit
tee unanimously voted to recommend
the bill for passage.
H. F. 278, the substitute for Mr.
Johns bill relating to the disposition Of
the insurance tax for the relief of fire.
men was also recommended without op-
position. H. F. 1866, to appropriate $500
for the relief of Virtue Smith received
the same recommendation.
There was mild scrap over the bak-
ing powder bill-H. F. II. Mr.. Little
ton moved to strike out sec. z, relating
to the evidence Of chemists, and the
amendment was adopted and it was
recommended for passage.
The consideration Of the capitol bill
consumed over an hour and it was
finally made special order for Tuesday,
March 5, at 2p.m, Two senate files
were then recommended to pass, and
the house adjourned.

That there are strong men In this

is liable to be doubted by some.
However. Jim only heard 1t, and
will not vouch ,or it's truthfullness.
He says that at Rale's camp there
is a man who lifts pine logs which
scale 1900 feet. 1t is questionable
If Mr.. Rale can keep him az Jones &

Hon. G. B. Buchanan was at one
time Judge" but such it appears
was at one time his profession.
When he first came to Morrison
county he was elected justice OF the
peace Of Buchanan town, and his law
library consisted of a justice man
ual presented by #. J. Hayes, then
sheriff of the county. Mr.. Buck
mans record shows that during
the time he wore the ermine in Buck
man town he performed thirteen
marriage ceremonies, paid for nine
licenses and never received a cent for
his services. This is how he got his
start in life.
The members of the Chemical engine
company are firemen of the first
water, and areindispensable at a fire.
They are the only members Of the

cause the reporter would suffer
violence at the hands of the chemical
boys if he did not give them a puff
once in a while.

DIAMOND WORKERS.
THE FREE TRADERS ESTABLISH 4
NEW INDUSTRY.

An Increase In tho Tariff Affords Ample
Protection to Diamond Cutters In the
United Observation-Disclosures That Surprised
the Democrats In Its Results.
The increase in the tariff duty on out
diamonds from 10 per cent to IS per
cent has had an effect not calculated up
on by our legislators in Washington in
stimulating on our shores this industry
OF cutting. We say not calculated upon,
for it is the principle Of protection that
is at work, and it was the object Of the
Democratic congress to destroy the oper-
alton Of this principle as far as the
United States is concerned.
Until within q few months the cut.
ting Of diamonds was ON industry Of lit.
tie magnitude in America. J. B. Hum
>phrey, who purchased the factory in
Boston of II. D. Morse and G. D. Foss,
the former being the pioneer diamond
cutter in this country, had been doing a
prosperous business, with q force Of
about dozen men, while Stern Bros. q
Co., New York, had been giving en-.
ployment to about 80 hands, nearly one
half Of the entire number Of diamond
workers in the United States.
This establishment was the only one
in the country conducted on the Euro.
pean plan Of buying large parcels Of
rough diamonds, which were cut under
the direct supervision Of the firm. This
firm proved that the industry under
fostering tariff could be carried on in
America upon an extended scale. Other
cutting establishments in New York
were those of Randel, Baremore & Bill
lings, Tiffany & Co., Charles G. Browne,
L. Tannenbaum & Co., D. de Sofa Men
des & Co., Wallaoh & Schiele, M. D.
Ferro, r. Ramsgate, J. Weiner, Fl. A.
Groen & Bro, Norden & Co., H. Levy
and three or four others employing but
few men. There was some cutting being
done in Chicago by the Stein & Ellbo-
gen company. Competent judges placed
the number of men engaged in the cut
ting and polishing Of diamonds ut the
beginning Of the current year at less
than 105.
Since the beginning Of 1894 we have
witnessed tho removal from Amsterdam
to Brooklyn Of the large plant Of Zilver
Bros, the erection of other extensive
plants by the Sanders & Bruhl Manu-
featuring company in Newark, by Arm
stein Bros & Go. in New York, while
we learn that L. Tannenbaum & Co.
and Goldsmith & We'll, New York, and
Fox Bros. & Co., Cincinnati, are pro-
jecting factories, and that preparations
are going forward for the removal Of the
establishments Of George Kryn and S.
L. Van Wczel from Holland to this
country. When these establishments
alone are in activity, the diamond cut
ting industry Of America will give en-
ployment to fully 100 operatives.
Though the industry up to the begin
ming of this year was in almost an en-
bryonic stage, it was gradually increas-
ing. as may be inferred from the follow
ing table Of imports Of rough diamonds
for the 20 years ending June 30, 1898:
Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1895-02-22

For the eight months ending Aug. 81,
1894, the volume Of imports Of dia-
monds and precious stones uncut was
5000, 468, or nearly 10 per cent greater
than in the same period Of the best pre-
vious year.
A certain minor proportion Of this
rough is Of course used i'll The arts, for
glaciers points, etc.
The permanent planting in America
of an industry like diamond cutting will
be desired by all broad minded persons,
though it may in the initiative stage re-
suit in the immigration Of foreign me-
chanics. Foreign labor, as far as dia-
mond cutting is concerned, does not
compete with native labor, as the latter
has necessarily been limited, and III the
future, if the industry obtains perma-
nent footing. to which all signs point at
present, these foreign workmen will give
place to their American sons, and these
again to their sons. 1t is to be hoped, if
the increased tariff on precious stones
does not cause the industry generally to
suffer through the operations Of snug
glers, regarding which it is too early to
fully Judge, that our national Legislators
will leave good alone. Jewellers Cir
