there was legal objection with the gov
ernor there to take It's chances of he
coming law and getting by the supreme
count later on. But since ATTORNEY Gen
eral Douglas ruled officially that the bill
was UNCONSTITUTIONAL, in that ii conferred
non-Judiciai powers upon the chief JUS
tiec, who is member of the board Of
pardons, the consent of which board the
hill required to the Parole OF a life pris,
oner, Mr.. Deming Yves not satisfied to
leave the matter in that shape. He OF
course, believed that an amended bill
would pass
Sherman S. Smith, of Minneapolis. Of
fered the amendment which was to carry
the bill through the fight again success
fully. The effect of the amendment was
to supplant the board of pardons with
the attorney general and the state audi
tor, making their consent necessary be-
fore life prisoner could be paroled
Other amendments were proposed one by
Mr.. Whitford, OF Dakota county pro-
viding for the approval of the parole by
the district Judge from the county where
the conviction of the criminal In question
was secured Thisawas pronounced UNI
constitutional and was voted down.
Mr.. Deming delivered a well prepared
speech. and read an affecting letter from
a sister of the Youngers, which was ad-
dressed to the members Of the legisIa-
ture. enlisting their sympathy and aid
in obtaining her brothers freedom. His
arguments covered very much the same
ground Whlcn mad been so comprehen-
sively traversed before
Mr. Kelly, the avowed enemy OF the
bill, who has been the recognized leader
of the opposition throughout. took his
same position and fought the bill effec-
lively.

MAY BE NOW A LAW.

Senator Wilson, of Minneapolis, and
others frankly state that there was no
authority for the recall ng of the hi | after
II nad peen transmitted to the governor.
having passed into the possession of his
eXceltency, three courses were open to
Gov. Van Sant-to sign the bill to veto
1t or allow it to be shelved and become
a law in that way without his signature
The measure had been in the keeping
or the governor about two and a nall
days. half day less than the time which
he must sign a. bill or it becomes a law
by virtue OF his failure to sign or veto
it. Taking yesterday into consideration
the lawyers seem to agree that the bill
has become a law and that despite the ac-
ton OF the house yesterday will stand
unless Knocked out by the supreme court.
Naturally the question as to its constitu-
tionality being so prominently raised will
cause the bill to fail under the legal scru-
tiny OF the justices of the supreme court,
SO that there is still a breach between
the enaction of the law and it's active
operating.
The final vote upon the bill, as amended
by Mr.. Smith was as follows:

congratulations toHon. Fred T. Dubois
of Idaho on his election to the senate
for the full term of six years. Also
great many people who are not Demo-
Gratis, Populists or Free Silverites will
congratulate him, for the average
American citizen admires courage, Ell

acquainted with him rejoices at the
political downfall of Senator Shoup.

mortals, but Dubois deliberately took
his political life in his hands when in
the senate before he p -

conscience, and as a consequence mas

he returns to the senate as the cham
pion of the same principles for the adj
vocation of which he was rusticated by
his constituents. He is young, strong,
capable, handsome and ambitious.
That he has a great career ahead of
him nobody will question. He will be
one of the leading senators for the next
six years

For you no doubling, only room
For gladness in your breast.

Within a comparatively brief time the
Cudahy interests viii present to the con-
slderation of those Immediately concerned
the conditions under which they will con-
sent to start an addition in South st. Paul
to their vast packing industries. We
shall then know Just what is necessary
to be done to realize that condition. both
on the part Of the private interests in
volved and on the part of the community
itself. which is so important a suburb Of
this city
1t viii not be difficult before the an
nouncement is made to learn just what
the principal requirements are that will
be necessary to the coming Of the Cudahys
to South st. Paul Indeed we may now,
If we seek it, get the glst of those re-
quirements. There will not long be much
doubt on that score. The South st. Paul
Stock Yards company will be advised
early. The city in its corporate capacity
ought to know as speedily as any other
interest concerned, for the result Will
mean much indeed as to our future pros
perity.
The superiority of the South St. Paul
location is conceded. The packing indus
try with which the Cudahys are identi-
fed finds there facilities which it cannot
easily discover elsewhere. We concede
the desirabiIity in every way of secur-
ing the addition contemplated. NIinneap-
oils is an open competitor for the advan-
tage involved. The New Brighton stock
yards offer many advantages which
would necessarily count to the gain of
our competitor up the river The bust
ness men and societies of Minneapolis
are alert and enterprising; and we may
as well realize that before the Cudahys
make THEN choice OF location they viii
be called on to weigh the relative ad-
vantages offered to them by St. Paul and
Minneapolis, and it may be. other COM
munities
Under such circumstances it is palma
bly, our duty toward ourselves to be fully
up to the requirements of the case. Thus
far it does not appear that the lnunici-
pality itself has taken any action in cen
nection with the transaction which would
indicate its readiness to make any pr
tlcular sacrifice or to offer any special
inducenlcnt.
We should take time by the forelcclI
and see to 1t that whatever in reas n
those who are interested in starting the
new industry may demand this city IS
ready to place at their disposal. If we
are prompt and intelligent in the course
of conduct pursued by US a great oppor-
tunlty will be availed of. Otherwise it
will unquestionably be allowed to slip
through our fingers.
