and the manner in which Hanna's bill
for the election of railroad commits
sioners was sent back to the judiciary
committee of the Senate evinces an
annarent determination on the part
OF certain members to slaughter it at
all hazards, and as this committee is
composed Of lawyers, many Of whom
have been retained at times by cOrpor-
ate interests, this fact is unfortu-
nate.
Senator Theden is making a hard
fight for the repeal Of the anti-scalper
law, and the railroads have strong
lobby on hand to defeat it's repeal, as
many as II lobbyists being at work
against the bill all the time. This is
measure which passed two years ago,
the provisions of which / know the
railroads will not obey, but which they
want APPLICABLE to all others.
The House and Senate have made
the usual gift of $3.50 to newspaper re-
porters, but it is needless to state
that the REPRESENTATIVE and its
reporter were not named, and the
writer, speaking for himself alone,
can state that he is well satisfied, for
he will not thereby have to decline
receiving any pay for services rendered
IL
pay for the three or four hundred bills
he has drawn-many of which are now
in the statutes.
Miellicke has secured the passage
by the house of his bill for freedom Of
markets, after hot and able fight in
which he rubbed it in to r. B. Rob
bins. the elevator member, in good
shape, winding up by quoting the Re-
publican platform.
Mr.. Foss has also scored victory in
the passage Of his bill to tax Inherit
ances, which is an excellent measure
House File 527 was recommitted
after hot debate, in which the lie
passed back and forth with frequency.
This is an innocent little bill, having
for its object the easing of deeds
signed by dead men, forged titles, e &C.,
and is pushed by certain Minneapolis
Land thieves.
An important bill has passed the
House for leaning the state funds to
cities and counties.
The judiciary committee has re-
ported on the impeachment charges
against Judge Ives by vote Of to 8,
reporting in favor Of mpeachment, SO
that hot fight may now be expected
in the House when the matter comes
up.
The action of the House in taking
up these charges against Judge Ives,
which seem to have been prompted by
malice and partly at least backed by
the criminal element who hate the
Judge, is in marked contrast with that
pursued when true charges were pre-
ferred against the bank examiner,
who seems to have secured the support
of the same class Of criminals.
