THE SWINDLIN KETTLE Meeting of the Special Committee X.88t 2f iitJitA General Feeling Thai the Swin dle Must Go. The joint committee of the legislature on "the little swindling brass kettle" held a pie. liminary meeting at the Meicbants hotel last liight. There were present SmatorsBonniwell, Mealey. Kahilly, McCrca. Officer, Williom-., Pillsbnry and Page, and Kppiesentatnes Campbell. W. M., Bar-ness, Smith, Kiebe, Bcliri'ih, Cummins, Power. The meeting was orgnmztd by tho election of Senator lUhilly to piesidc, aud Mr. Powers as Beoietary. Mr. Campbell, 1o arrive at a ppcedy consum ation, moved that the brass tester be abili6_e a^ tho giade test of wheat in the State ot Min nesota. This provoUed a long discussion, participat ed in at length and with a Kie.it iieqneney and freedom, by evrry member. Mr. Bouniwt-ll seconded the above motion. He and Mr. (Jump hell cpoko to tho point. The faimeis throughout the Stdto were advocating and urg ing its a oUtion. It was expected that the legihlatu oald do it, aud the jelief so uigent- ]y and emphatic li demanded by the people stum ytended. Ben tor McCrea favored it. He represented a coustif ueri'-y universal in favor ot tho aboli tion i the bia^s keltie. .Senator Pillshucy had an excus, or a word ortrtoof defense for the kettl-. However, i (leletence to tho eenerai and urgent demand, he would apptove of the substitution of a sealed talf bushd is tho si md.ttd test of giadcs in pluce of thsimll tis' pet. Senator William", in half a dozen Fpeeehes, fav red tho subset uioa of a halE bushel moiure. uhi wouldn't swell or contract, foi the kettle. He believed tho joker i.ur enough, never had perceived auy difference when prop eily handled, but then it could b manipulated. I compliance with the general desire. he wanted to see the half buHr.el introduced ard established as thi- standard, but the bra kettle needn't be abolished, it was so convenient, and could be usdt oon^ent I eUveen buyer and f-eller. Senator Pig wasn't in favor of abolishing the pir*ent test until be something i-i ihe shape of a medy to replaco it. I the hands of honcol dealt-r-, like cuds, it could be m-ide houtst. But, like thiee-caid-mon e, the little i ke trick could be plajtd. He suggested something about penalties. Mr. fowei., as the lawjev of the committee. ww asked 'f pi.n-iltie.s could be attached, ecu., and wh ther it was leie to aboluh the present testei. Tho gentleman wa-i at a loss to ex plain. Mi. Campbell stated that it had been done. Then relattd that ID '63 at Litchfield, he tnuw of an nistanc where tw-j elevuor men, who pers p-ed in i^ingit. had been _nd M.OOdcacb. Mr. Campbell continued that a universal fet-1- ing against the brass ke tie existed in ths State.^ lt should be abolished and nothing but that would --utisfy tl farmer. He then extorted trom Senator Pili-bnry the confe-sion that the little joker could be manipulated to bring about different results. He claimed this was in itself Mifncient to condemn the device. Toe speaker's own experience corroborated these differences." He had witnessed an ex periment where wheat had been made No. 3. then ^o. 2, and finally 6l ponndsthe same wheat, and the same tester. Whit the former wanted wan a reliable Uf-ttr. givirg uniform lesults. Tlie sealed halt biT-hei wr.s such a ftandaid. This they could understand, and feaied no cheating in it. At least, measures could be adopted relative to the mode of filling which would prevent such differences in the results obtaining in the use of the litilp brass kettle. Senator Pillsbury admitted that there was a piociss of manipulation in the brass tester, bv which the farmer could be cheated. He went further, and confessed that the foimer had been cheated. Yet ha believed if the bulf-bnshel x*ere adopted, it would not bring about the agricultural Utopia anticipat ed. I i tact, he surmised that on the question of test, it would ulumati ly be found that the kettle would show up in favor ot the faimei more than the half-bushel. The Senator blamed the scales more than the tester, and stated that up Minneapolis there were manv scales which scored up a weight less than was actual ly put on them. Mr. Campbell referred to the fact that the^e (scales which were wrong never scored up too much, but too little, and the loss iell on the poUei. 'iho eea.it, question was one to bo tixed up in onnnection with the tester business. Mr. Riebe made a Ji-ng and urgent appeal to abolish the brass kettle. I was a, cheat and a fraud, so the iarmeis believed They didn't understand the manipulations and diffeient re-subs. A Voice"Yes we've Feen a man turn jack cry time in dealing: cards, but never nnHpr- evcr atooct it (Laughter). Messrs, McCrea, Cummins, Officer, Mealey, Poweis, Page, and otheis took part in the dis cussion. 'Iho general verdior being, "Down vrith the swindling bras kettle At this siageot the proceedings Senator Pills buiy moved to amend Mr. Campseh's motion by saying it was the sense of this committee that the sealed half bushel should be adopted as the standard test lor grading wheat in the State ot JI nnesota. The amendment was accepted, ard when put to vote prevailed without a di-scmim voice. Mess'*. Cummins and Willum* both advo cated the retention of the kettle for con venience sakethat no penalty should attach to its use, but that by consent it could be used, the half bushel bein the hnul re=u to Ust.

Th special joint committed of tho Senate and House on new State prison met yesterday morning and organized by electing Hon. Jared fienson, of the House, chairman, and Senator Cutts secretary. An iuformal discussion then followed 8H to the necessity for a new prison, developing the fact that the committee was divided in opiuion, some holding that by the expenditure of $100,000 the present stmoture could be enlarged to meet the w*nts of the State for years to come, and that by keeping all the prisoners At one point their labor could he moro judiciously and economically em ployed. Others took the ground that the present loca tion was poorly adapttd to prison purposes, and that no fur her expenditure should be made there, except so much as might be re quired to complete the improvements com menced, and put the buildings, walls, etc, in good condition. The question of location was only incident ally toi.ched upon, though Senator Macdonald found nn oppoitunity to speak a good woid for Sauk Hapid6, with its immense granite de posits, and Senator Daniel Buck to oppose any granite location, claiming that a prison at such a location, instead of being self supporting, would be a continued drain upon the treasury. It was decided to call up the Governor for all the information he could furnish in relation to the need ot the State in respect to prison ac (ommodatiotB, and an adjournment was bad to Wednesday tvening of next week, when the subject will probably be gone into at conoider ablc length.
