is well built. The capitol building is

1 spent n day or two at Bismarck while the
legislature was'in'session. The senate con
sisted of lwenty'tY * > members , uino of whom
were foreign born , of whom ten were farm
ers , and the rebl physicians , merchants ,
bankers , real cstato dealers , with not a. Inw-
yor among them all. In the lower house there
were ninoty-lhroo members , of whom fifty
eight or three-fifths were farmers , and only
llvo were lawyers , thu remaining thirty
being distributed through all the pursuits of
trade and industry. Seventeen of the whole
were educated at higher institutions of
learning , and many of the others were well
road and intelligent men. There were
memuers or scnooi uonrus , cny treasurers ,
members of the board of agriculture and
county commissioners twenty-lour or neatly
a third were foreign born , of whom twelve
were from Norway and iiiuo from Canada ;
and the remainder represented nnarly all
the northern states. Two were born previ
ous to lb3J , and four between ISIiQ and 1S40 ;
there were twontv-two from the MO's and
twenty-nine from the ' . " > 0's , anil three were
born since 18 < iO. The legislature was a plain ,
practical body of men. without much oratory ,
but with a vast amount of good solid .sense
and fair speaking ubilitv. It has had to
review the work'of the last twenty years ,
for which purpose the session of 11M days
was not too much. In that time It has
passed 201 bills , many of which
were long ana elaborate , of these
the governor has at the present writing ap
proved of ItJ'J , leaving tlurty-livo still an his
bunds , the most of which will bo approved.
The discussion over tlio Louisiana lottery
scheme has been an unfortunate thing lor
North Dakota ; it has gotten into the papers
the country over , and has uroatod a bud and
I know n false impression in regard to the
sentiments of the people of the state. Hut
the schema has at no time had any prospect
of success , whllo the discussion of it has
cast a shadow over the legislature , and it
has crowded out of vlow the muoh
really good and needed , work which
has been done lor the people In many other
directions. Mho vote in the house on
a motion for the reconsideration of the prop
osition wits 34 against and 2U In favor.
Merely lor the purpose or showing that
the legislature was a practical and useful
body of men , I will stuto the purport of aomo
of the most important measures which hhvo
become laws. 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.

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

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. I hopu thu people
will unltn in asking confess for this mnch-
needed legislation , as the experiment can
inuko times no worse , Kospcctfullv ,

The Gortlon-.Mitrrny lluttli- .
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.
Mann , Cardiff's manager , und Jimmy Lmd
say held the chronometer .
announcing uiu roiiumuns 01 uia
meet , a ton-round co.Hest lor u pursoof * 'J)0 ( ) ,
Queensbury rules , Itufuruo Cardiff orJered
the men to shako bunds. 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.
Ho wus incontinently knocked out.
The ton seconds were tolld oft , anfl Car
diff said , "Mr. Gordon , the fight is yours. "
