Ing Ives.
MAY ADOPT MINORITY REPORT.
McGrath's Drainage Bill Laid
Over For the Day in the
Senate.

ST.. PAUL, April 6.-The only sensa
ton of the house Friday, and it was MOI
much of a sensation at that. was the
report Of the Ives impeachment, mat
, terss which had been under considera
! ton by the house judiciary committee
, for several weeks. The report was not
unanimous. nine members favoring i'm
parchment and eight opposing it.
Outside of the judiciary committee
the opinion seems to prevail that the
house will support the minority report,
held. There are various reasons for
this opinion, but the most popular one
is the ever-pressing argument of
economy.
Almost the entire day was devoted to
the final passage Of bills, and the cal
endar was completely cleared, only two
bills being left on it, and they by the
request of the authors.
The following are among the bills
passed:
Relating to mineral lands and reserving
to the state all timber growing on such
lands.
TO provide elementary normal instruc-
ton in state high schools.
To provide Il bounty for the arrest and
conviction of chicken and poultry thieves.
To appropriate money for higher educa-
ton and providing regulations for the dis
bursement of the same.
To encourage smelling iron ore and to
conduct experiments with that end in
view.
Relating to elections and providing reg
ulations and restrictions looking to the
prevention of fraud.
Committees Must Report.
Mr.. Underleak introduced and Sc
cured the passage of resolution to
blast the hopes of members Of special
committees who have been fondly
counting on maintaining their official
existence for the next two years. The
resolution calls upon all special commit
tees appointed by the house to make
their final reports within 10 days, or
not later than April Is, and depriving
them of shy authority to incur expense
or do business after that date. The
adoption of the resolution dashes to the
ground the expectations Of the Feig
committee for the investigation of pub
lie repositories and the charge that
state and county treasurers have been
receiving fees for depositing funds in
certain banks. Also does it nip in the
bud certain expectations Of the commit
tee on investigating railroad charges.
Mr.. Underleak, in speaking of the
committees, said: ''Some of these COM
mittees have unlimited authority and
could even investigate private business.
The legislature has no right to grant
that power and to leave them in exist
ence for the next two years would leave
the state in danger of some big suits
for damages. think, therefore, their
existence should come to an end with
the present session"

country. He was made con-

IN THE SENATE.

McGratlis Drainage Fails to Pass the
Upper House.
The hottest debate that has occurred
in the senate for some time was in
dulged in during the afternoon when
H. F. No. 90, Representative Nc
Grath's drainage bill came before the
committee Of the whole, on general Or
ders. The discussion Of tie bill in COM
mittee lasted all the afternoon, aud
when the committee rose it was recon-
mended to pass. The report was &C.
copied, but motion for the second and
third readings of the bill and a vote on
its final passage under suspension OF
the rules failed to receive two-thirds
vote, and instead of being finally dis
posed of, as the friends of the measure
fully hoped it would, the bill will be up
for further consideration on the cal
endar.
The provisions Of the bill, in the
main, provide for the appropriation of
money for the purpose Of opening
closed water courses leading into the
Red river and tributaries in Wilkin,
Clay, Norman, Polk and Marshall
counties.
Forenoon Session.
Before going into committee Of the
whole in the forenoon the senate passed
the Miller express bill. The vote was
close, 20 to II, but the bill goes to the
house as if its margin was a mile wide.
The bill is S. F. GAL, and places express
companies under the control of the rail-
road and warehouse commission.
Senator Wyman presided over the
committee of the whole. The first bill
recommended for passage was S. F. $40,
Senator Potter's bill to limit the time
for bringing action for assault or per-
sonal injury to two years instead of six
years, as at present.
The committee then took up S. F.
1872, the meat inspection bill. This is
the bill requiring state inspection Of
cattle, sheep, swine, etc., being the bill
in which the large cities are interested.
Senator Stevens explained the bill,
saying that it would improve the
health Of the people. It was most i'm
portant that it should pass.
After lengthy discussion the bill
was indefinitely postponed.

THR criticism of Marshal Carroll be-
cause he has appointed his son, who is
too Young to vote, chief clerk in his
Office, is too severe. Mr.. Carroll is n now
man In public life He has seen dis
tinguished Governors, Senators and
other officers making public Office n pri-
vate snap, and has merely initiated their
example. Mr.. Carroll has been inhaled
by latter day public men of all political
parties. When a relative OF Thomas JET
fersoa applied TO that great Democrat
for an office within his gift, Mr.. JefFs
son told him their relationship made n
improper for the appointment TO be
made, that the people had elected him
President to administer q public trust
and not to fill public positions with his
own relations.

pliahed the Ilerculean task Of placing an
asylum Of no moan order upon firm
foundation, and orphan children here
and thore will rise up all over our State
and call him blessed. II seems sad for
an old man, whose years Of wisdom and
experience have been devoted to such
work, in the zenith Of his usefulness,
and the usefulness Of such an institution,
to bo decapitated after having built

but decidedly scurrilous and abusive. If
