To THE student of politician economy and. to the curious on- looker the spectacle of a body of men met together from all parts of a political division for the pur- pose of making laws is an inter- esting and instructive one. Here is the member who is a seething cauldron of proposals for the betterment of the state: He introduces bills and gets his name in the newspapers and the people at home think he isa great man, not noticing, perhaps, that none of his bills ever *‘pass.” Here is the honest man who has a few righteous measures which he would make laws, but his bills tread on the toesof so many members that he cannot get votes. Here, too, is the man who talks little to the newspapers and much to his colleagues; who shows a dispositicn to help other members with their pet meas- ures, who makes himself a fol- lowing, and who “passes’’ his Eill before the morning newspaper reporters find out what it is really all about. There are others; but let these three suffice, and of these the last is the great- est. He it is whois the law- maker and it is by him that a free people do their lawmaking. The business of lawmaking is a fine art and the men who do it are artists. Tulife the artistis always one of a small minority and so it is with the lawmaker. Our laws are made for us bya handful of men. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deaf- ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dol- lars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cuare. —F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

HOUSE EXPURGATES CRITICISM OF VAN SANT FROM REPORT OF A COMMITTEE. St. Paul, Feb. 15.—Minnesota will spend $10,000 on a suitable souvenir for the battleship Minnesota, which is to be launched at Newport News, April 8. A resolution for an appropriation of that amount was introdiiced in the senate Tuesday and unanimously adopted. It recites that, as the Unit- ed States has built a magnificent fight- ing ship and named it in honor of the North Star state, it was fitting that a souvenir of this honor should be placed on the ship as a gift from the state. A committee of three senators is fo be named with Lieutenant Gov- ernor Jones, to decide upon the form the souvenir shall take. Tt is cus- tomary in cases of this kind for the gift to take the form of a solid silver set to be used on gala occasions. A similar resolution was introduced in the house. It was referred to the committee on appropriations The senate refused to adjourn till Thursday, in spite of the fact that to- fay will be largely devoted by com- mittees to inspection trips, and the at- tendance is likely to be slim in conse- quence. The state public school committee will visit that institution at Owatonna and the state training school commit- tee will go to the institution at Red Wing. The normal school committee | consisting of the delegation from Ram- sey, Hennepin and St. Louis counties, ! will visit the sick and crippled chil- i dren’s ward of the city hospital of St. Paul. Three Bills Passed. Three bills were passed by the sen- ate. One was Senator ’[]mmmonsf bill to appropriate $50,000 to pay the | deficiency in the state aid to high i schools for the years 1903 and 1904. Another was Senator Schain’s bill, providing for a $10,000 appropriation district libraries and the third was Senator Calhoun’s bhill, pro- viding for the diverting of the channel of Bassett’s creek so as to malke it flow through the Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun and Cedar Lake. Senator Stephens’ bill for an act to | exempt all property of G. A. R. posts ! from any taxation. except local im provement assessments, was passed and then reconsidered and re-referred to the judiciary committee. Senator Thorpe introduced a bill amending the gross earnings tax law so far as it relates to telephone com- panies, requiring those whose lines be- gin and end in any one city, town or village to pay a 3 per cent gross earn- Ings tax to the county instead of the state. as at present. Senator McNamee introduced a bill allowing villages having charters to amend the same, upon petition of five per cent of the legal voters to the charter hoard. The senate adopted a resolution urg- Ing the Minnesota delegation in con- gress to support the legislation asked by the Upper Mississippi River Im- provement association, relative to deepening the channel of the river. EXPURGATED FROM THE REPORT. Eliminates Criticism of Van Sant and Johnson. The house Tuesday promptly ex- purgated from the report of the com- mittee on accounts and expenditures, criticism directed at ex-Governor Van Sant and ex-Public Examiner Johnson for an alleged failure to report to form- er legislatures that Former Insurance Commissioner Dearth had a gold mine: in his office. The report concluded with a recom- | mendation that the .commissioner’s { fees be abolished and the commission- } er given a $5,000 salary instead. Mr. | Dearth is said to have taken in over $62,000 in fees in four years. i A Dbill extending the protective limit | for Japanese or Chinese pheasants to 1915, and General Elower's bill, mak- ing the bribing of legislators and leg- islators-elect a felony, were passed. | Corporations or so-called trusts do- ing business in Minnesota will have a. hard time of it if a bill offered jointly in the house by Representatives A.

Every person in- volved is construed as compounding or committing a felony. Heavy punishment is provided for the offense, and the courts, in their iudgment. may forfeit such felon’s property in the state. Jun , 1905, is the date when this bill, if it passes, becomes operative, and, preceding its enactment, all cor- porations and companies wishing to do business or continue such in Min- nesota must sign a statement announc- ing their willingness to submit to its requirements. Thebill covers every phase of the so- called trust situation, and for its in- tent has the suppression of everything that would be contrary to lesitimate businéss or in restraint of trade.
