Paul bill. This new capitol bill
especially prohibits any increase in the
cost Of the new building, and provides
that the capitol com missioners may

Talked About the Inauguration.

There was similar talk eight years ago

is wonderful how many men have
welded the deciding influence in pres.
idential elections-in their opinion.
Some, Of whom the public generally has
known little or nothing, will ackowl-
edge, when urgently asked, that they
have done great things for their party.
But all such reflections can only apply
to other states, for the Minnesota
applicants for Office are, of course, de.

been said of them, whether by their

the matter of running the government.
There is one thing certain, and that is
Minnesota will be well treated if it is
possible for President Mckinley to do
so, for he appreciates fully the magni-

from having local differences, which is
the supposed reason why there has not

soTs Phrepology Bills.
Senator Tits and Representative
Snodgrass last week, on request of .
resident Of Minneapolis, introduced
some interesting phrenology bills,
which were probably in hiding few
weeks age when q well known phren-
ologist gave free exhibition for legis.
lators. One bill establishes state
commission of phrenology, whose five
members are to collect information and
report to the governor, publishing such
works as may seem to hin:and to them
advisable. The other bill creates the
Office Of state commissioner of phrenol-
ogy, whose chief duty seems to be the
periodical examination of bumps of all
inmates Of the various state institutions
and whose privileges are the drawing
Of salary of $1,000 and expenses, and
appointing $500 deputy to assist
him. It is also provided that part of
this must be done "before April L."
and one amendment that has already
been suggested il to make it read ION

Mr.. Marin of Polk county, one Of the
Populist minority, has occupied about
the most conspicuous seat IN the house,
next the center aisle directly in front
Of the speaker, but few days ago he
exchanged seats with Mr.. Donnelly,
giving the well known Populist leader
the central seat in the hall. from which
vantage point he can follow proceed

exchange Of compliments with Judge
Hicks.
Two More Proposed Amsndnenta.
Two more constitutional amendments
have been proposed. One comes from
Mr.. Snyder Of Hennepin county, and
seeks SO to amend the constitution as
to allow the legislature to provide for
voting by machine. It would simply
prepare the way for the voting BY
machine that is predicted BY modern
