During Saturday afternoon Senator Noyes martu half a duzcn requests to have the bill taken up In its proper place and each time he was turned down. It was C o'clock Sutur- day evening when ho made an emphatic de mand that the Juggling be stopped and this bill be brought out forthwith. In this he was barked liy other members and the bill was placed on Its final passage , re ceiving twenty votes. Some of the members were absent , some slipped Into the lobby , nnd ono at least remained In his seat and refused to vote. The oil room made ono more attempt at delay without success and It went to the house where the amendments were con curred In. Then the last desperate effort , was made to kill the bill In the engrossing room by omitting the enacting clause nnd mixing up the amendments. This fraud was detected In the nick of time nnd the bill was recopled correctly and finally landed In the governor's ofllcc. U was well understood tlial the opposi tion to the bill was prompted by the clerks fiom the big counties , nnd that It espe cially affected the Douglas county man who nt the present tlmo draws fees as salary amounting to from $20,000 to $25,000 per year. The Income of the Lancaster clerk under the old system Is not known , but It Is estimated at all the way from $5,000 to $10,000 per year. Other counties yield a revenue to the clerks that will bo ehown to have been largely In excess of the sal ary allowed under Iho new bill and the money put In the lobby fund , while It seemed largo in the aggregate , was really a small Item compelcd with the rake-ofl received every year by the clwks of the courts In the big counties.

( Special. ) The legis lature , which has Just ended Its labors , has been liberal In Its appropriations , although when the totals nro all footed np U will be scon that the allowances nro as econom ical as possible , If the various state Institu tions nro to bo given sulllclent funds to carry thorn through the next two years with out stint. Whatever the amounts It goes without saying that they have boon appro priated by n republican legislature to bo spent by fusion officials almost entirely and arc ibased upon the estimates nnd de mands of the c olllclals. Whllo the fusion oinccholders did not get nit they asked tor , still they are well satisfied with the treatment accorded them by the republicans and say they have no complaints to make concerning their allowances for the current blcnnlum. H must also bo berne In mind that the 1897 legislature , In Its great desire to make a record for economy , cut down all appropria tions below the amount absolutely needed to meet current expenses , which resulted lu largo deficiencies this year. This leglnla- turc remedied that by giving the vnrlouj departments enough money to meet their requirements. When nil things are take-n Into consideration , together with the In creased prosperity that has como upon the people In the laat two yeais , the present legislature has been more businesslike ami economical than many of Its predecessors. TinI'Isriues for II. The total amount appropriated by the salary appropriation bill Is $82520 , ; m com pared with $505,300 two years ngo. Kor the purpose of making a better comparison the Item for university salaries should be sub tracted from both 'bills ' , as that amouiil comes from a special fund , the 1 mill uni versity fund. The sum of $230,000 was ap propriated for university salaries this yeai and $197,000 two years ago , according tc the salary appropriation bill , although whcr the university debate was on In the house the total amount was placed at $209,000 Taking the university Item out of the bill It leaves a total of $595,220 this session nnc $008,300 two years ago. In considering the general nppropriatlor bill for current expenses It Is found thai the university items under this bill were It : entirely separate bills two years ago cxcepl one Item of $60,500 , which 'was ' $55,500 twc years ago , or $5,000 less. In order to ar rive nt a fair comparison , therefore , it is necessary to treat the university items In t supplementary way in this bill also. Leav ing out the university the total approprla- tlon carried by H. H. 501 this year Is $961- 5S8 , while two years ngo It was $1,077,967. The total appropriated for the unlversit ; under this bill In $266,000. Of this omouni $60,500 Is for current expenses of varloui kinds ; $93,500 is for buildings , $32,000 give ; the university cash Items paid Into thi university treasury for matriculation fee : and various resources paid to the universit ; from tlmo to tlmo , Including tuition fee ! in the law school , and $ SO,000 comes frou the national government under the Morrll act and the experimental station act. As stated above the only one of these Items In the general appropriation bill tw < yeais ago wa,3 the ; first'ono of. $55,500-foi current expenses , while $30,000 was 'appro priated for buildings In a special act. Tin $50,000 from the government , which come ; every blennlum , was also appropriated In : special act. There was no appropriation twe years ago corresponding to the $32,000 , whlcl disposes of the "University cash fund , " beint the amount In that fund now held by thi state treasurer. .Money for ItullilIIIKN.
