Tho Urst btllH to pass tlio hotiMi woio
tho two expense bills, upprnpi luting
$8.1,000 to pay members salaries, timl
mileage, anil $30,000 to pay Incidental
expanses of tho session. As usual they
went through without n contest, and
tho sonnto welcomes them with open
nrms.
As was predicted a month ago tho
wholo8lo unseating of mcmbuis on
contests mot with litllo favor. WhlloJ
strict attention to tho spirit of retalia
tion would havn called for tho Iking of
two or three fitsionisls, tho republicans
gavo tlin benefit of every doubt lo tho
f usiouists, and lot them hold their seats.
This shows a strong contrast between
republican and fusion political meth
ods and morals. As usual, bowovor,
the stuto will bo called upon to pay
contest expenses and fat lawyers fees

One of tho early bills to got in is
bouse roll No. 101, providing for the
payment of the piiinhiuiou tho stato
Measurer's bond,. Two J'uais ngo tho
same sort tf a proposition was bofoto
the session, and if. the com so of its
consideration tho Mcusuior was asked
whuio ho had the permanent school
fund deposited, mid how much inteiest
ho derived from this soiuoc lleio-
f na.iit In nlluivor tlinkli fllll.atlilllri. fklltt
the bill piopcrly fulled. It is believed
that in tho four years of his Hum Mo
servo derived from SIU.OOO to $20,000
from these deposits, and this being tho
case tho payment of the bond picmlum
was no burden. In case Tieasuior
Stusffor informs the public of the loca
tion of tliis fund, ud reports tho inter
est into the treasury, tho payment of
the expense of bis olllcinl bund is Vol
ceded to be proper and light.
Another Kussian thistle bill has coino
in, but tho thistle agitation is pietty
well played out In 1805 them was a
great thistle scare ami a bill was rushed
thtoiigh. In a later session pi oof was
produced that the pests weto leallva
blessing and that cattlo and shep full
over themselves lo feed on Kussian
thisths. Now tho other extreme is to
come, and tho "post" cry Is to bo beard
again.
Senator Steele bus introduced a bill
to establish a now military code and re
