A REMINISCENCE

1t was terrible blow to the hopes and
aspirations of those members of the coy
ote legislature who had verdant pas
lures in prospective when Governor
Budd struck out of the general appro-
priation bill all the items of the state
printing office appropriation, aggregat-
ing about $32o,0OO. That seductive SOP
would have yielded a margin of unde-
tected profits to the undetect-
ed population that would tide many
a weary statesman over the hard times.
Printer Johnston's system of bookkeep-
ing, which so puzzled and befogged the
executive and his expert aids, will not
be needed now to keep tally OF the dis
bursements under this appropriation.
The statesmen who inserted the little
joker" clause by which majority of the

mite deficiencies, will not be called upon
to supply unavoidable necessities" as
the basis for further disbursement. And
so there are many things that clog the
general plan.
The present desolation of the erst-
while yelping coyote breeding farms
at five dolls per scalp-is not sadder
reminder of the fieeting character or
crooked wealth than is this mutilated
appropriat' n bill, of mutilated hopes
and aspirations. The chilling frost OF
the gubernatorial veto has killed all the
blo.e--a of whole groves Of budding af-
fiuenox. Dividends have melted into thin
air. Legislative opportunity is wholly
lost. Ppsitical acumen goes unreward-
ed. "Smartness" is at a discount, and
bossism storms in idle impotence. The
paean sinks into a gloomy requiem, and
starvation or honest toll stalks aggres-
sive in the distance. And this COM
plicated calamity is due entirely to the
ouerulousness of governor who will not
understand the logic of legislative op-
portunity as interpreted by the legisla-
ture of A. d. 1897.

There is one point in the new law
which we have not seen commented up
on yet that will attract attention on the
part Of the first acute lawyer who fig-
ures on the lenders side in the foreclos-
ing of any mortgage which was in force
prior to the act in question.
AS we understand the new law 1t af-
fects mot only mortgages made after its
passage, but is retroactive and applies to
all such mortgages as were in force
when 1t passed.
A mortgage Is contract. made under
certain conditions known to both
parties TO the contract. To change
the terms of the contract vir-
tually affects its value. 1t is
probable that the first borrower whose
mortgage was on record prior to the
passage of this law. If he seeks to take
advantage of the new conditions created
by the law will find himself at the los
ing end of a long suit at law.

To leave so many books unread,

In spite of desperate and long con-
tinued efforts of the citizens of the
Southern Mississippi valley. the flood
situation grows steadily worse. Inc
rivers, fed by heavy rains, continue to
rise, and the weakened levees crumble
away while the whole able-bodied pop
ulation is working upon them. Hun
dreds of thousands of acres of farming
lands are under water and thousands
of people already on the verge OF star
walton. Loss of human life has been
small, but the suffering is beyond tell
ing and not likely soon to be relieved.

of state license showing the
firms authority to solicit such
consignments. The bond is for
protection of shippers who may
be swindled by fake or irrespon-

passage of the law was the fail
ure in Minnesota and Wisconsin
of firms receiving for sale grain
from parties in this state.
