Expense of the New Legislature,

mdueuVeFluS, 10 dVOlu CQ0 Necessity IOr
such an amendment.
Expense of the New Legislature.
Computing the expense of the greater
legislature is now an amusement en-
joyed by those members who are not
wholly pleased with the new reappor-
tionment. With 105 days for which
members are paid, and IA new mem.
bers, the extra expense becomes 1880,
to which should be added $40 for post
age for each member, their mileage
and other items of expense making
over $1,000 more expense than has been
paid out under the present reappor-
tionment. But the friends of the new
measure are very quick to say that the
expense is very small for the good &C
complished. And both settle down in
their chairs well pleased with their
own smartness.
Reporters Turned Lobbyists.
It is very rare thing for any of the
newspaper reporters of the legislature
to do anything in the nature of lobby
ing, but newspaper enterprise led them
into it last week on the report of the
committee investigating insolvent
banks The proposition to make pub
lie tue testimony obtained by the COM
mittee came up in the house and was
adopted about the middle of the morn
ing session. Afternoon papers seemed
due for first use of the testimony,
which everyone anticipated would be
sensational. However, one of the
morning paper reporters, whose ex.
perience in and about the legislature
was greater, realized that delay IA
vored the morning papers, and aunter-
ing over to Chief Clerk Dowling's desk
remarked suggestively but interroga-
lively: Il suppose as that testimony
was taken by joint committee and is
to be made public by joint resolution it
will not be given out immed lately ?"
1t Would Be Discourtsous.
And Bowling, of course, could but
affirm this intimation that it would be
discourteous, at least, to the senate to
give the testimony out in advance of
the senate's action A minute later
Bowling was besieged by the afternoon
paper reporters with requests for a
chance to copy the testimony, but they
were met with the objection stated
above. This did not stop them long,
howeYar, for they at once asked the
accommodating chief clerk to hurry
his report of the house action over to
the senate. Bowling agreed, but found
the senate in committee of the whole.
which prevented his report being re-
ceived. But the reporters were "hot''
after the news and soon found enough
senators to make and carry motion
for the committee to rise. As soon as
the president of the senate was again
in his chair, some of these same
friendly senators, who had been adj
vised Of the nature of the house resolu-
ton and favored the proposed action,
pressed to adoption motion to concur
in the house resolution, and the senate
Immediately thereafter resumed it's
routine work in committee of the
whole. And this was why the after
noon papers had q scoop on the in

Mr.. Spencer Had Plans.


It is not generally known that Sena-
tor Spencer of Duluth, whose name is on
the reapportionment bill as it's author
and introducer, had laid his plans for Sc
curing justice for his big district in
case the general reapportionment bill
had failed. He called on Governor
Clough and secured his consent to the
introduction of new bill in that
event. This new bill was to be an
amendment to the old reapportionment
law, adding two senators and three
representatives to the Duluth district,
the number provided for in this new
law. However, Senator Spencer and his
colleagues on the joint reapportion-
ment committee were able, by careful
maneuvering, to avoid the necessity for
such an amendment.

ST. PAUL, April IL. -[Special] The
next legislature will contain 6S sena-
tors and 119 representatives, for SO it
has been enacted, anu the approval Of
the governor has sealed the decree. If
ever there was a chance to emphasize
the fact that all legislation was the re-
suit of compromise, this was that
chance. It would be comparatively
simple matter to formulate an emin-
emily just and fair reapportionment
bill, but to secure the endorsement of
the 1853 separate Municipalities that
constitute the law making branch of
our state government is an entirely diff
ferent matter. That any reapportion-
ment measure is, able to get through is
in the nature of commentator Of
the legislators for fair mindedness, and
such counties as may seem to
be harshly treated have really been
as we'll taken care of as the
circumstances permitted. Some one
was certain to lose a little in order that
justice might be done to those compar.
atively new sections Of the state that
have gained much population within
a few recent years. The fourteen new
legislators make what is generally con-
coded to be large legislature for this
state, but in order to accomplish any,
thing it was absolutely necessary to
avoid reducing the representation in
most of the older portions of the state.
It is probable that the next reappor.
tionment will reduce the total member
ship, and a move to that end has
already been instituted. Senator Steb-
bins has introduced bill for consti-
tutional amendment limiting the total
membership in the senate and house to
80 and 100, respectively.

trust in the officers. and see no special
reason why they should give the parish

adjacent wales. We cannot accept it as
general solution. for we have observed
that the meagerness of attendance upon
the annual meeting is likely to reach it's
lowest point where the finances of the
parish are similarly depressed. To our
not very acute vision the phenomenon
looks for all the world like an instance,

Germany, drew out at great length the
list of blessings this country has derived

have just appreciation Of the strong

endows Germany and it's people with
some qualities which they do not but
should possess. If the description given
by the Americans, long resident in Ger

there, are to be trusted, the United
States would lose much more than they
would gain by the transfer Of German
civilization to our shores. Neither the
German student, nor the German sol

German emperor is a model for civilized

The song of Roland in its extant
version is believed to be only an ex-
pansion of an early poem. It was
composed in England between 1866
and 1895, A. D., and belongs to Spain
only because Roncesvalles is on
Spanish soil. The golden age of
Spanish literature belongs to the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The romance authors of this period
led the way to our modern novels and
plays, though like the painters, they
were obliged to conform, more or less
closely, to an ecclesiastical model.

Coming home with a farmer who had
a son of my age, we asked Mr.. Cline
would he not ask Mr.. Rowland if we
could have some cherries. He said,
"Mr. Rowland will give you all the
cherries you wish" Mr.. Rowland
said, "get up boys and get all the
cherries you want" We filled our
little ten cent hats. When we came
down, Mr.. Rowland put his hand on
the top of my head and said, care
you not the boy who drives the sheep
and runs up my steps and breaks off
the limbs, and steals my cheeries?" I
said was. l thought would sink
in the ground because l expected to
be kicked out of the yard, but in the
kindest voice, he said, "My son when
you come along next week, get up
and gather all the cherries as if they
were your own, but do not steal
them" How his kind words sunk
deep into my heart. If he had kicked
me, no doubt 1 should have had a
feeling of retaliation and I would
probably have fred stones the next
time, but his kindness set me think
ing and resolved that when I got TO
be a man and owned any land, I
would set fruit trees along the road
side for boys to eat, and l have now
set out many miles along the road
side. Had he kicked me, I do not
think would have set out any trees
or remembered his kind acts, which
have been guide to me through
life.

SPAIN IN HISTORY.
BY REV. MARY j. DE LONG.
FIRST PAPER.

FIRST PAPER.
SPAIN was known to the early
Greek as Iberia, meaning, possibly,
shadow land, or something akin to it.,
and its people as Iberians. The Iber-
ians came originally, as is supposed,
from Africa, across the straits of Glib
raltar, either on dry land over an
isthmus which separated the Medi-
terranean from the Atlantic at this
point, or by means of canal and a
bridge built by the Phenicians in
their trading voyages around the
Mediterranean shores. They were a
fierce, contentious race, knowing no
means of defence except by the use
of the club, or the bow and arrow.
They shot arrows at the clouds when
it thundered and drew their clubs
against the tide when it threatened
their possessions.
In the great movement of the Aryan
race toward the West, one branch
found it's way either over or around
the Pyrenees and established foot
hold in the country of the Iberians,
near the foot of the mountains. From
these sprang the Celtiberians who
were there when the Phenicians came

They spread over the country in

tives, who knew or cared very little
for their value, to work them for their
benefit.
Rome Against Carthage.
Rome, having subjugated all Italy,
turned, by one pretext or another, it's
arms against Carthage, the rival
power in the West. Having been de-
prived of the islands of Sicily and
Sardinia by the defeat of its arms,
Carthage resolved to make up its loss
by taking possession of southern
Spain, which promised not only good
recruiting ground for its shattered

THE W0MAN's MONDAY REST. !
BY IDA W. MORGAN.

The Klio Association, of Chicago,
was organized as the Emerson Gou
noud Club, November 27, 1887,
it's objects being mutual improve
ments in literature, art and music.
In October, 1891, its name was
changed to that of "The Klio Club" !"
and January 9, 1896, it became in
corporated under the laws of the
State of Illinois as the "Klio Asso-
ciation."
For seven years this association
met regularly every two weeks, and
enjoyed rare opportunities OF hear
ing distinguished musicians, writer's,
and noted workers in the world of
literature, art and philanthropy
In 1894 one of the Klio members,
Mrs. Jean Sherwood, visited Boston,
and while there became much inter
ested in the Lend-a-hand clubs, of
which Edward Everett Hale was the
founder. Returning to Chicago, Mrs.
Sherwood enthusiastically presented
| to the members of the Klio the desir-
ability of adding philanthrophy to
the work of club, taking some practi-
cal form, similar to the "Lenda-
hand" in Boston. The members
readily responded to the idea, mas
much as club life had strengthened
and quickened the intellectual side
of their natures. it had also devel-
oped keen desire to impart some of
the good they had acquired by this
coming together year after year, the
closer sympathy, and the great needs
of better understanding of human
nature among the great mass of
struggling womanhood.
The time was auspicious for un-
dertaking a work fraught with so
much love for the uplifting of
others. Committees were formed,
friends were sought and found who
responded with heart, hand and
brain, money and influence, to this
most worthy object. A MONDAY
Rest for self-supporting women was
established and opened May first,
1894, at No. 4, Monroe street. The
Rest was designed for place where
young women employed in down
town offices and stores, as we'll as
students in the different schools,
might procure a dainty lunch at a
reasonable price, between the hours
of eleven and two. Many eagerly
sought admission, and the member
ship per month averages FIVE hun
dred, although it has gone as high as
seven hundred and frequently over
six hundred.
The Rest is opened from eight in
the morning until nine in the even
ing, and consists of suite of eight
rooms, reception, library, and reading

AT the opening of the war for the
suppression Of the Southern Rebellion in
1861, the ordinary expenses Of the gen.
eral government were s60,0O0O00. At the
close of the war in 1865, they had risen
to over twelve hundred millions. That
is they had multiplied twenty times.
Such an enormous increase was ex-
planned and excused by the necessary
cost and the inevitable waste of great
war, in which two and three-quarters
millions OF troops were engaged. How
difficult it is to come down to reason

after familiarity with the use of large
sums. is shown by the fact that the or
dinary expenses Of government have
kept near the thousand million mark
and have often gone above it since. Is
it to be expected that such an excessive
drain, continued during more than thirty
years. shall be borne without any signs Of
pinch and strain? Our recklessness is
only equalled by our stupidity.
