ADJOURNED AT NOON.
The State Legislature Closes Very
Busy Session

st. Paul, April 12.-The Legislature
adjourned at noon today, sine die,
after making record of which @~the
state has every reason to be proud.
Old ex-members who were present at
the session last night stated that there
has never been a lawmaking body in
Minnesota that has passed so many
good laws and so few poor ones.
"Woodchucks" have been very scarce
among the bills sent to the governor
to quote the executive himself
"Every..bill have received has had a
public good back of it. The appro-
priations have been liberal, yet not
wasteful, and vicious bills aimed at
private ends have been entirely lack
ing"
The abrupt adjournment of the house
last night chung up number of
senate files, several of them important.
The pressing ambition of the majority
to finish the work of the session pre-
vented action on about twenty-fiv
measures that would have been passed
or killed had the time been sufficient.
Fifty-fve bills remained in the hands
of the secretary of the senate. the two
or three pure food measures represent
ing all that were of general interest.
No bills could be acted upon in
either branch today. The senate met
at II O'Clock and the house an hour
earlier, to pass the usual resolutions,
comforting few congratulations upor
employees and then formally closed the
session.

BRAVE ACT RECOGNIZED.
Legislature Votes Relief for an Ex.prisoI
Guard,

st. Paul, April 12.-The house of
representatives yesterday passed the
bill, which was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Jepson and unani-
mously passed, providing for the appro-
priation of So, 600 for the relief of
George P. Dodd, who, on Jan. %.
1884, saved the lives of thirty light
prisoners at the Minnesota state pri-
son at the great risk of his own life
Mr.. Dodd, who is a resident of
North Minneapolis, was at the time of
the fire guard at the prison. Acting
under general instructions he assumed
charge of the prison fire department.
When the fire was at its height and il

was found to be impossible to extin-
guish the flames, Mr.. Dodd determin-
ed to make an effort to save the lives
of number of prisoners in the upper
tier of sellrooms, who were in eminent
danger of suffocation.
In escaping from the building after
releasing the prisoners Mr.. Dodd was
compelled to jump from one of the
galleries to save his own life. He
suffered severe injuries from which,
it is claimed, he never recovered.
He retained his position as guard
until two years ago. Since losing his
position his savings accumulated while
in the service of the state have dwin-
died away and he was finally COMPEL
ed to ask aid.

Jefferson Brought Down to Date.

The St. Louis Republic has a
very eloquent article entitled ''Jef-
ferson Out of Date" which shows
that it is not well acquainted with
Jefferson. The article is melted,
of course, by the recent decisions
of the Supreme Court, and says
that the United States no longer
recognizes the rights of man ex-
cept in the states, and adds: ''1n
cutting Off the doctrine of the nat
ural rights of man the nation seems
to have rid itself of everything
distinctively American in the line
of political philosophy. America
appears to give notice to the world
and to its own citizens that Il man
has no rights except what he wins
and keeps by fighting for them"
jefferson, it AYERS, would not have
done anything like what President
Mckinley has been doing, and
like what the Supreme Court says
the President has the constitutional
power to do. This shows that
our esteemed contemporary does
not know Jefferson. The thing
which it condemns Mr.. Mckinley
for doing now MIR. Jefferson did a
century ago.
Shortly after the purchase of
the territory of Louisiana, trans
action of which the Republic may
have heard, a law was passed 10y

Jefferson, and which jefferson
signed, which called out this cx-
clamation long afterward from q

Government, putting the Presiden1
in place of the King of Spain,
putting the territorial officers il
the place of the Kings officers, an6
placing the appointment of al
these officers in the President alone

Benton added that ''nothing could
be more incompatible with oul
constitution than such govern
ment, where the people. far from
possessing any political rights
were punished arbitrarily fol
presuming to meddle with politica
subjects" Benton stood nearer tt
