Ono of the now laws prohib its dealers from combining , pooling and llx- ing the prices to bo paid for grain , hotrs , cattle , etc. Another to promote troo-ciilturo provides that after three years' growth a bounty of SII per aero shall bo paid for ten years , not to exceed $100 a year on a section of land , the trees to number not loss than 100 to the acre. Another has for Its object the encouragement of the manufacture of potato staroh. Again , It is provided that when any shipper of live stock presents his slock at any railroad station for shipment , the agent shall rocelvo thorn and number them in his bill of lading , and when any shipper shall order onn or moro cant they must ba provided , and ho may put two or ? mora kinds of Hvo stork or of gram in tha same car. Another law provides for the transfer of passengers and freight at railroad crossings , on the petition of twenty rosldonBjfrooholdors living within ten miles of the Hamo ; and on the petition of Hfly loaidonts , fovlho provision of depots , warehouses and agents , with penalties for iioii'compliunco. Another compels railroads to put in sidetracks adjacent to coal mines. Another llxos the maximum rate for the transportation of coal minjd west of tha Missouri rlvor , froni 75 cents per ton for ilfty miles to fJdfl. par ton for -100 mlloH , under penalty ofu.$25 per day for refusing. The Object of thlrt law is to piuco the llgnlto coal , which cxistMn Inoxhuustiblo quantities in northern Dukojai within reach of the people ple of the state. uU'Uoro ura said , tbo HOIIIU yo.OOO squara mi | a , u which this coal exists , and a tract T.'i by/ilii [ > miles In which it has beau BUceosstully-QHtilored. The vein * range up to UJ feat In thickness of solid lignite , ana they outcrop on the side of thu iluffs In the matter of railroad legislation but Httlo has bnon done except In the specula ana practical measure ? which nro mentioned above. Tlio Iowa law has boon carefully considered , but In view of the pressing lined for more railroads It has bson thought best not to move comprehensively In the matter .vol. A modilloation of the Aus tralian system of voting was carefully and very favorably considered , but it fulled to bccotnu n law. Tim primary election bill providing tor ft two weeks' notlco by posting all political tickets ana for the conduct of the primaries , together with a bill prohibiting the uio of proxies ovcopt of bona llda residents of the district * were favorably considered. Among Important bills yet In tlio hands of the governor and which will doubtless bo approved , is one rotating to the regulation of grain warehouses , ono provtd Int' for the assessment and taxation of rail road property , ono ID oncourngo the erection of irrigating laws , ono to promote the manufacture of binding twine , and ono to rogulalo common carriers. After prolonged and thorough discussion a law was passed providing , as the constitu tion requires , for n uniform .system of public schools. The district system , winch ivus embodied In the senate bill , was lluully adopted , ns against the township system willed the house bill favored. Governor Miller , the "farmer governor , " Is n man of pronounced character nad marked abilities , Ho has lived In D.ikotu since )8S0 ) , and Is thoroughly In sympathy with the \vorklngmon , who so largely compose the population of the commonwealth. Ho expressed pressed the determination In his mcssago that the legislature should not ndd moru than > 0,00 < i to the dellclenoy which existed at the opening of the session. Ho has done the utmost in his power to Keep the debt within these bounds , but there will probably be a further deficiency of ? 20,00'J ' or f.10,000. The appropriations and the ov- pcnsos of the legislaturu will amount to J-UIO.OUO ; the estimated revenue for the present year is only WiS.OOO , leaving a dull cicncy ol SIW.OOO. Tlio constitution limits the public debt to J.'OO.OOO. which will bo fully appropriated. Governor Miller , in his message , speaks of the rapid progress mrulo In settlement and industry in tha now stato. In 1380 theru was only a spnr.so population along the Red river mid for a short distance along the Northern I'acltlc road. Now two lines cross the state the Northern Pacific to the I'uclllc coast and the Great Northern , which Is preparing to push on Immediately by the most direct line possible from Helena toj Puget Sound , Sincu 1SSU the population has increased to 2'J.I.UOO , and it is a community of marked intelligence , thrift and enterprise. Many young men from the cast are here , who represent the ability and push of the most advanced and prosperous communities of that section. The value of tha property of the stnla is close upon fiOO.UGO.OOO ( the assessed valuation In lv.i was about * ( ! 7,000,000) ) , and an in dubtcdncss of $2. > 0,000 will not bo felt. Governor Miller calls attention to the provision of the constitution under which "no real cstato of railroad corpora tions shall bo exempt from taxation in the same manner as other real estate is tnxod , " as requiring that all lands and property ot railroad companies not used in their busi ness must be taxed. "Under no circum stances should -ross-oarnlngs ( law exempt railroad property from taxation as otlior property is taxed , except by the payment of a per centum of tha gross earnings both local and interstate. " The present system ot railroad rates , ho further observes , prac tically precludes the possibility of establish ing n jobbing and wholesale trade , or the building up of commercial contars in the state , ana ho suggests the Importance of conferring on the railroad commissioners powers which will enable thorn to remedy this ovil. Tha legislituro has endeavored to meat the requirements hero suggested , and the year that elapses before another legislature turo will meet will doubtless bo suflkicnt time to orovo the value of tlio measures which have been adopted. D. C. B. lftD AM ) Kn-ATIlCKiiiP. A Now York \\lfc Heater Punished by White Cans. SVUVCUSE , ? N. Y. , March 27. { Special Telegram to Tin : 15r.n. | A case of shameful brutality almost unknown in this part of the country occurred near Hartford Monday night when iscwman Matttiewson , a'pronli- nont and wealthy farmer , wus taken from his house , whipped and given a coat of tar and feathers by u band of masked men who called themselves white caps. Less than a year ago Matthowson married his brother's widow and recently they have not agreed on account of the disparity in their agos. The stalwart men of Hartford learned of the al leged brutal whippings administered to the young wife and concluded to give tha hus band a lesson. There were about twenty of the men who took matters into their oan hands. Matthowson was seized when ho came to Ins door , stripped , and in the presence of Mrs. Matthewson , who stood in the door , u whip was applied. This wus followed by a liberal coat of warm tar. which was linished off with feathers in wasteful extravagance. Mrs. Matthewson is said to 1mvo ottered no remonstrance , but seemed to think ho wus only celling whal ho deserved , Matthewson was moro dead than alive when his tormentors left him. Ho says no will prosecute the men who abused him if ho can learn their names , which is doubtful. . -o A KoiiH'dv for I > oi rc slon. BitEMbTKit , rob. , March 2. ) To the Edi tor of TUB BIK : : I.read with pleasure your "Homidies for Depression" in THE Si Mm ic : , and am pleased to sea all lha leading republican journals or tlio country are recog- ni7lng the popular demands of the millions of toilers of the land for u larger volume of currency , and that the government should alone issue that money. But I thin I ; you touched too llchlty on the llmmco question and did not go lar enough to keep pact ) with the demands of ttio people. Allow mo to suggest that the United States government has not boon creating money , u circulating medium , in sulllciuni quantity to keep pace will the rapidly in creasing demands ot commerce and trade in the United b'utes and territories , and this universally conceded need and consequent scarcity of money has increased the pur chasing value of money , decreased the value of the products of labor and increased tlio rate ot interest to un alarming oxtonl , with drawn millions of money from circulation and almost created a financial panic ; while the reverse might have been the rule by mora prompt and judicious legislation. Allow mo , as a republican , to suggest a few thoughts for the caruful and earnest consideration of your humorous readers , which may prepare thorn , to oma extent for thu inevitable which must come sooner or later : Putin circulation immediately thomilllons of dollurs of idle money now locked up in the vaults of the treasury of the United States , and save to the tuition the thousands of dollars annually paid for storage ot that money , keeping it from use by the millions of our people , who are perfectly willing to furnish storage for all they can legitimately earn , Having the expanse of issuing bills to represent that vast deposit. 1 would next modestly suggest that the government issue currency equal to the bonded debt of the United States , substi tuting the same for the oatiro national banlc issue of the United States , thereby enablinc the Government to redeem mid pay off the bonded debt and glvo thu pcoplo tha use of the money the bonds represent. Many theories are advocated as a rollo f for .tho people , but I firmly believe , and many people already agree with mo , that an In crease of the volume of the currency is needed moro than any other ono thing , and that railroad regulation , tariff reform , sol diers' pensions , internal improvements nnd till other plans of relief ura insignificant compared with this greatest of all needs , Money placed in the bunds of our many farmers , who havu an abundance of produce for snlo , and money in the hands of the millions of ullo artisans , tradesmen and la borers , who are ready nnd willing to earn the luonoy they BO much need to purchase the vast overproduction wo are daily told about , would bring about n state of pros perlty never before scon in this country , nnd far creator than the unequalled pros- purity of 18&I and Ib05.

There was n Una assemblage of business , professional and sporting men nt the Gnu City Athletic club rooms last evening. 'I he attraction was u tun-tound glovo. contest bo < twocn Scotti Gordon of Denver , a protege of Jack Davis , the well known hoavywelh'ht , and Patsy Murray of South Omaha. Thcra were -00 BimoU-otm hung up for the winner , nnd the winner was the redoubtable little Scotchman from thu Mountain City. Thu doors of the club room were closed promptly nt S : ' ( ) , the crowd in attendance numborinit probably ! 500 , among which wuro some of the ' best known business nnd professional men In the city. Ben 'luthill , proprietor of the Cali fornia Opera Compiny ; Billy Thompson , the business manager ; Billy H. Rising , the leading tuner of the same company , nnd Curt Newell , the treasurer , occupied ono of the proscenium boxes. The evening's ' bill was inaugurated with a three round sctto between Jimmy Lindsay and BUI McC.uin , which furnished much enjoyment for the congregation. Following this came a rattling tour round bout between Jimmy McGinty and 'Join Col llns , nt the termination ot which the premier event of the evening was announced. After some littla delay the principals 011- tcrcd the ring. Gordon , the Scotchman , tipped the beam nt IDii pounds , and Murray , his opponent , ten pounds heavier. Biglack Davis wafted tno towel for the Djnvur 1 ad , while lotu Boyle was behind Mur ray. Patsey Cardiff of Minneapolis , the man on whoso tough nut the great John L. broke his arm txvo years ago , was chosen rofereo. J. C.

Thu next moment time was culled nnd thu two young gladia tors fnced euch other. The opening rounds of the contest showed the Denver bo > to bo a romurkably clover boxer for a novice , with it most effective left , and In qualities of hitting nnd ring generalship outclassed thu South Oma ia mig from thu outsel. As the light progressed , however , Murry's stamina nnd strength loomed up to advantage , nnd tbo probibiii- tlos of the battle became lost in Us very stubbornness. The Scotch boy showed himself , ns the contest waxed closer and moro dubious , a Lhuroughly game man us well us an cxtra- ordinanlj clear hitter , but despite hU cool ticudwork , th1 chuncos at 0:10 : time seemed surely against him , and manv thought the local man was sure of victory. Scoltj's hard lulling t-npaclt ; , , aided by genuine courace. pulled h'm ' through tun critical turns , however , and linully hunted nm a dean winner In tno lirst round licnors were about easy. Murray looked confident , while the Denver ioy was very cautious ami very serious Ho ; oolc the offensive , however , nnd bucked South Omaha into his corner , when the lut or , as if nottjed ut this treatment , made n lull like rush. He wits met. with a straight oft-bunder in the mouth , but so conlldent was ho of his superiority that ho came right on ami landed , left nnd right , upon Scotty's Jowl und neck. A clinch followed , und Hofereo UurditT rushing 'orward commanded "Break away tln'ie. bo gcnllemon , boys , ut all times , bu it over so lulnfm. " Grout lines , thcso. ' 1 ho men broke away obediently , but Gor don gaVe Murray a parting swipujiy way of i reminder that he miendud to lese no oppor tunity. 'Iho second round was a lively one After a moment's prospecting Murray again rushed , md catohinii Scotty unawares , irot in a good right neck jolt nnd a rib roaster boforu the 'orelgner hardly suspected his fell inten tions Tncn ho came buck in kind , and the aw must have given that gentleman n faint idea of whut the kick of a mule Rifiiuilus. A little haini- less slugging followed and tune was up , but nflt until Murruv had given Gordon nn ugly pougo in the eye. The third was livelier still. The centrist in the men's style ol boxing wus ns muiked as their physiques. Gordon showed ut once his surprising skill , und tukini : a position not wholly dissimilar from that of .luck McAuliffo's ho feinted for an in stant with his left und lot it go ut Patsoy's head , catching him full in thu fuco and landing thruo tlmus litrhtly as hu lushed the South Om.ilm butcher to tlio ropes. This success emboldened the Denver mtin. and as they came together again in the middle of the ring hu tried u wicked left , but got a nasty return on the chin. A rally fol lowed , and there was some warm shot , arm fighting , when the round ended in uclineh. In the fourth Murray rushed fiom the out- net , and landing clovurly with his right , had the Denver man u litllo groggy. Hu quickly recovered , howovur , und If uslmmed of his weakness , llddlcd Murray back into his corner und smashed him so repeatedly that tiu was compelled to clinch to suvo himaolf The fifth round was all m Gordon's favor. Murray made frequent ferocious rushes , but Invariably pot the worst ot it. A clinch ended the round Tn the sixth a grunt irom Murray sent Gordon in like u whirlwind. He feinted beautifully with Ills left , und ns Murruy ducked caught him full irf the Jaw. and fol lowed up Iho vantage with two straight left jabs that in the langjago of tha llorist were daisies. To save himself Murray clinched. Murray wont Into the snventh determined. Bo was ugly in upeoch and looks , und in a clinch thut occurred early in thu round ho bit Gordon in tun chest and arm , and re ceived a hissing for his dirty work. Scottv , however , didn't seem to mind Murray's teeth any mora than ho did his llsta , but waded right Into him , nnd with n catu pulliun punch with his loft sent Mr. Mill raj rlcochetUng thiough the rapes , llu wus clearly knocked out , but thn referee wouldn't ulmw it , us ono ot Ins gloves hud couio off in llio rush ami ho was allowed time to huvo it readjusted. IIu wus a goner , howovur , and in the next round offered but feeble resistance to the Scotch boy'a roso- lule onslaught. Tiino being called , Gordon fairly leaped upon Murray , nnd it was luff , smash , bang , for u second or so , when Murray began to totter. His fuco assumed n pullld hue , his arms fell limp at his side , and us hu slug- gored helplessly against the ropes hcolty walked up anil with admirable deliberation gave him a loft htuidur in the neck thut junt him Iliing through thu ropes , an insoiiHiblo nml u beaten man.
