The dismay of our Republican breth-
rem of the press at the apparent" re-
action of public opinion, as reflected in
the municipal elections, has been so ex-
cruciating as to excite our compassion,
and we are really glad that they are
able to find consolation in the one
crumb that fell from the table in the
shape of the election in Rhode Island
1t is pleasant to see the eagerness with
which they snap it up and smack
their lips over it; they were so hun
CRY, and it seems to do them so much
good, and then it can be so easily SPAR
ed. May they be around, with equally
good appetites, when Betty shakes the
table cloth in the back yard next year.
Most people, however, are not so
proud Of the pigmy state, and even its
young men, who were unfortunate
enough to have been born there and
fastened away as soon as they could
scrape together enough silver to pay
their freight across the line, are reti
cent about the place of their birth and
mention it, when obliged to, in sub
dued tones. 1t is the old fogiest of all
the states, carrying its grain to mill
in one end Of bag thrown over the
horses back balanced by a stone in
the other end, just because grand
father did it that way. Its people still
talk through their noses because their
colonial ancestors contracted the ca
tarrhh habit. and, if they no longer
make oats of shoe pegs and nutmegs
of wood, it is because they have found
a cutter dodge for buncoing the guilt
BILE through tariff protection" 1t
turns up a sanctimonious nose, with
superior sniff1e at Nevada because it
sends a couple Of senators to get pro-
lection for silver, while its own AL
drich collaborates with German and
the other Judas Iscariots to tax sugar
for the welfare of himself and his part
ners in the trust, and to make Mime
sotans pay smartly for the blankets
and woolens that are woven In Rhode
Island mills.
No wonder Republican protectionists
love Rhode Island. 1t is a state after

CULLED HERE AND THERE.
Mr.. StOckwelI Couldn't Get His Reso-
luton Considered

During the morning session Representative
Stockwell sought TO have taken from the table
MS resolution for the appointment Of COM
mlttee to investigate the alleged outrageous
discharge Of several soldiers from the soldiers
home. Vigorous objection was made to this
step by Messrs. Johns, Of Ramsey, and Cray.
OF Hennepin, on the ground that Judge Hicks
was not present. Mr.. Stockwell intimated
that It was not fair to block his efforts TO
have this matter sifted to a conclusion and
that the presence or absence of Judge Hicks
should cut no figure He stated that he had
no knowledge OF the truth Of the allega-
lions made, whereat Mr.. Johns retorted he
should not have taken any such action if
ne knew nothing about it. The upshot of
the whole matter was that the resolution was
not taken up.
The Ssh and game law has passed the
house. It had been placed at the head oF Az
calendar, and when the roll was called there
were found 80 votes in favor. Mr.. Marin, of
POLK county, In explaining his vote protested
that the title to tRS bill was deceptive, and
that the measure instead Of providing for
the propagation Of game and fish, would
eventually result in it's determination, He
voted against the passage of the bill.
Immediately preceding the noon recesa Mr.
Donnelly moved the taking from the table Of
S. F. GIL. Mr.. Keller's measure to appropri-
ate 5000 for the purchase of sugar beet
seed. IN support Of his motion he explained
the necessity for prompt action He said the
state could buy this seed which he under
stood was becoming more valuable as time
went on, to better advantage than could any
individual. As soon the bill was passed
kilograms would Immediately be sent order
ing the seed. He urged that sugar made Of
these beets was fast becoming a factor in
the markets Of the country, and made the
statement that trainloads OF it were being
shipped in here from Nebraska 1t was lunch
time, the house was hungry, and therefore
turned down the effort to have the bill con-
sidered at this time. Senator Keller was On
hand to attend to the details concerning his
pet measure.
AT the instance OF Mr.. Dahl. H. F. s5s nv
Mr.. Schmidt, a bill to provide for licensing
and regulating fire insurance agents and
brokers, was revived and again placed on
general orders.
The senate measure e. r. 2s0 BY Senator
Young, providing that after tso years a lin
tied divorce may be made absolute. upon ap-
plication to the Judge granting the limited
divorce, occasioned considerable debate
While trying to make a record and clean I'D
the calendar the house considered bat slightly
several measures. The bill was reported as
passed, when Mr.. Reeves moved reconsidera-
tien This threw the house into wrangle as
Mr.. Dahl. OF Hennepin, had already given
notice Of reconsideration. The house ad-
3ourned with the bill still In the air.

WANTED A CHANGE OF MANNER

There was sleight-of-hand performances
IN the opera house that night, and way down
In u front seat there sat a holding
shiny silk hat ostentatiously before him with
an expression Of deep anxiety and watchful-
ness upon his face.
Before the performance began a friend who
sat Immediately behind him and had noticed
his manner leaned over and asked him what
the trouble was.
''Well, you see, Tom" said the man with
the hat confdenually, OTIS this way: I've
been in politics now for ten years, and I've
been cussed and abused and called all sorts
Of hard names until I'm just longing to hear
somebody address me in decent manner
one more time. When this magician comes
on the stage he's going to say: VIII some
gentleman kindly lend me his hat? and
I'm going to jump up and give him mine.
It'll make me feel good for a month to be
spoken to that way. I've been looking for

excuse me now, for I'll have to jump up quick

SLOWLY REGAINING SANITY.


The Iowa legislature takes another
step in the return Of that state to
sane methods Of legislation from which
it departed fifteen years ago, when it
undertook to reform its subjects by
absolutely prohibiting the manufac-
ture, sale or distribution in any way
of intoxicants within the state. A
prior effort to 1ntrench the reform in
the constitution had proved abortive
the supreme court having held It's
passage through the legislature Vio-
lation Of the process prescribed in the
constitution. Then statute was
made to do the duty. Difficulties i'm
mediately began. Des Moines had a
large distillery, one Of the largest in
the country. The river cities had
breweries doing a thriving business
They were closed by DEGREES of courts
in suits brought to restrain them.
Their business was destroyed and their
properties made valueless. They sued
for compensation and were told they
had no redress.
Meantime 'boot-1egging" and blind
pigg1ng" fourished in the interior,
while in the river towns the law was
openly defed. Liquors were import
ed, and the imports held valid against
the state law under the interstate
commerce provision of the, federal con-
manned in the original packages. Con-
gress complaisantly waived its right
to protect interstate, commerce in cas-
es where the state prohibited the traf-
fic. Still the supply, for the thirsty
kept pace with the demand, although
it had to come In surreptitiously. The
revolt against this interference with
the freedom Of the citizen spread un-
til 1t got into the politics of the state.
A Democrat was twice elected gov
ernor, mainly on that issue, the legis-
lature remaining Republican. Then
began the retreat. Open confession
would not do; resort was had to eva
sion. The mulct law was passed prac-
tically licensing sales under a guise
of a fine on the seller which, when
paid, rendered him immune from prose-
cution for a specified time. This was
whipping the devil around the stump
with a hypocrisy that would have
made Uriah Heep envious. The sale
was still prohibited, but might be made
on a plea Of guilty and the payment
annoyance. There. was a cant and
sniff1e about. this worthy of Chad
band
Now the legislature passes a bill al
lowing liquor to be manufactured in
the state What humbug conceals this
backdOWn we cannot gather from the
meager dispatch announcing 1t, but
the chronic cant Of Iowa Republican
ism warrants the belief that it Is ac-
complished in some deft way that per-
mits the hollow old prohibitory statute
to remain intact and thus preserve a
semblance of dignity for the party
that enacted it. The curative process
has been a slow one and not at all
creditable one, nor will Iowa be fully
restored to sanity until the prohibitory
and mulct laws are wiped off the books
and some sensible law, similar to that
Of Minnesota, put in their place.

OPPOSED TO A REBATE.
House Isn't Disposed to Reimburse
the Jockey Club.

The house. with over a score Of absentees
and an imperfect explanation Of the provIs-
ions, yesterday failed by half dozen votes
to pass the baltimore measure to reimburse
pended for a grand stand and other improve
ments at the fair grounds. 1t was brought
out before the appropriation committee by
which the bill was recommended for passage,
that the Jockey club expended nearly $40 COO
but only asks for $50 900, OF the amount
which it agreed in the lease to expend. The
appropriations committee placed the max
with a favorable recommendation 1t was
thought there would be no material opposi-
ton to the bill, and but for the limited at
tendance it would have undoubtedly been
passed. An explanation will be made this
morning. and it is the opinion that the club
will receive the favorable consideration Of the
house, so that the bill may go to the senate.
