I THE TRANSCRIPT Watered is geconcl-class matte rat the poat office at ^astin, Minnesota. AfJSTIN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1891. Our State Legislature. (From our regular correspondent.) ST. PAITL, April 20, 1891. The Legislature adjourned Monday noon and thus ends one of the most remarkable legislative bodies that has existed in Minnesota for many years. The last three or four days were spent in a continual wrangle and fight and by so doing many important bills were laid gently away, and whether it is for better or for worse is an unknown quantity. The fight the last week was first oyer the Australian ballot law, and then over the appropriation land tax levy bills and it engendered much bad blood in both par ties composing the combine. The Re publicans and the majority of the Alli ance have always insisted on the provi sion in the bill compelling a voter to mark every name voted for, but the Democrats opposed, and as a compromise it was left with the provision, allowing a cross op posite the name of the party at the top, to carry the whole ticket that way, and it passed the House first in that way, but the Senate amended it making it neces sary to mark every name, and when it came back to the House the fight began. Led by the Democratic delegation from Minneapolis who were all elected last fall bv having a very popular man at the iiead of the ticket for mayor, and he car ried them all through, they were not going to let such a good thing drop with out a hard fight, and they had it, but it was all in vain, for the Alliance, with a very few exceptions, (and the exceptions were really Democrats sailing under Al liance colors,) and the Republicans al most solid carried it through to comple tion, and are glad to go before the people on their achievement. Prominent Dem ocrats privately acknowledge it is better as it is, but say it will materially damage their party in the cities where boss and gag rule control elections, and where so many ignorant and unlearned exist who almost universally vote the Democratic ticket. The appropriation bill is a curiosity when we consider that it had its birth in a House controlled by a combination that are always crying retrenchment and re form. The Alliance control the appro priation committee in the House and the fiaance committee in the Senate, and from the chairmen of these two commit tees originate the measure so much talked about. Mr. Bjorge and Mr. Hompe, the above named chairmen both hail from the county of Ottertail, and there was evi dently a deep laid scheme to get their share for the Fergus Fails asylum in the above named county, for the bill contains the modest sum of $214,000 for the asylum at that place, and again the Alliance looms up as an infant requiring a large amount of pap from the state. For material for binding twine $150,000, for more twine machinery at Stillwater $35, 000, all piled on the bill by Mr. Donnelly in the Senate after the bill left the House with an additional $80,000 for the soldiers' home at Minnehaha, making a total for that institution of $105,000. The appro priation is $350,000 larger than has ever before been made in the history of the state and has all been brought about by the state giving those so hungry for office a chance to manipulate matters for one year. The tax levy for the next two years has been increased nearly 5 mills and the combine became scared at the enormous sum they had piled up and tried to sneak out of levying taxes to pay them, but a few of the most level headed said they must now face the music and pay all they had contracted for, and acted accordingly. The immense howl set up by the Democratic and Alliance papers should now cease. They were lying all the time and knew it. The people surelv know now that they are no better than anyone else. Their charges have been a constant misstatement of facts and insin uations, and if they can gain any further advantage by the gullibility of the people there will be surprising misappropriation of and extravagance of state funds. The horrors of a protective tariff have been their food for talk for years, and they have profited by it. But they evidently did not know how things were, or were lying outrageously, for when they have a chance to improve matters they only make them worse They caDnot point to a single article that the farmers have to buy that is dearer by the new tariff, not even tin, but many they sell as higher, and the sugar tariff which the McKinley bill re moved is much cheaper, although the Mills bill and the Democrats opposed and fought hard against such a reduction. The Legislature adjourned Monday noon Does it and its existence end in ablaze of glory or in ignominy? To hear the ex pression of the Democratic and Alliance political managers of the state at large, one cannot but think that something has gone wrong. startling Facts.
