=. TIE LEGISLATURE.

A, the end of the session draws near
the members of both houses appear to
have awakened to the fact that there
remains a great deal of legislative bust
nes, TO be done. and very little time to
do it in Consequently there was dis
position in both houses Yesterday to
push business, and an unusual quantity
of work was done; the majority Of which,
however, was not of general interest
The most interesting portion of the
morning occurrences was the message
from the Governor returning the bill
allowing a certain percentage to the At
torney General Of. the State, the Governor
having declined to sign the bill, and
giving his reasons therefor
In the House, a more than usually
rapid progress was made in the dispatch
of business. although the members, to
some extent, i,npeded matters by too
many trying to obtain the floor at the
same time.
We were gratiied to notice that the bill
aiding the New Orleans Academy OF
Sciences by an appropriation of five
thousand dollars, was finally passed; as
well as that most excellent bill intro
dIceI into the Senate by Mr.. Raglan,
providing al institution for the blind, to
be located in Baton Rouge.
\ number of other bills OF small note oc-
cupied the greater portion Of the morning,
| until the order OF the day came up. This
va, the State revenue bill, and for some
reason there appeared to be an impress
sion that the bill would drag its lingering
length along until the end of the session
Indeed at the beginning it looked little
So for there was proliXity of debate
about the first section and had there been
a corresponding delay in the other sec
tons. the bill must have taken week to
pass. But after the wrangle on the first
which comprises one hundred and two
pages of foolscap, was passed in less than
twenty minutes.
After the passage of the revenue bill
there was some undue discussion over
two reports of committee upon matter
referred to them for examination
A special committee made favorable
and 1attering report about the condition
of certain canal, while the regular Com
mittee on Canals and Drainage had made
report of different character about the
came canal.
In the evening session the Senators
manifested the same disposition to get on
with the business on hand, as they had
evinced in the morning. The bill for the
relief of J. o. Nixon and one for the relief
of S. Belden, which had been returned
with objections by the Governor were
passed Notwithstanding and sent to the
House.
The great feature of the evening was,
however, the appropriation bill. A mat
ter so voluminous as this required no
small amount Of discussion. There were

TIE WAR SETTLEMENT.

Il making oct her bill of damages
against France Germany is entering up
some Of the expenses OF former wars. As
Napoleon levied contributions upon all
the State, of the Garmanic Confederation
from 1892 to 1915, ut different times and
in different amounts, Bismarck THINKS
that little OF this money ought to be
paid back. And he is putting it in hi,
bill. Besides a consultation has been
held among the merchants and capitalist,
of Germany, and they estimate that every
iaboring person in the empire has lost a
certain sum. say Il sixpence per day. ow-
in, to the war, and it is suggested that
France ought TO pay this loss More
too, Bismarck says that he gave out All
intimation Immediately after the fall of
Sedan that. As any continuance of the
struggle would be useless, France was
only piliug up costs that she would have
to pay. If this advice was not taken he
is not to SUITE, and the French must pay
for their to.iv

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.

Not many weeks ago we noticed that
the coal miners in Pennsylvania had
struck for higher wages, and subsequently
we have given such items about the strike
and its prospects as were furnished in the
accounts from the coal mines. A. one
time it was thought that the strike had
been compromised, but later reports stated
that the miners, instead OF going to
work for their former employees. had
organized cooperative societies, and were
proceeding to get oct Goa. on their oWn
responsibility. It will be seen at glance
that this manner Of proceeding was not
what tie coal spectators had contracted
for, and it was what they did not intend
to favor
After all sort, Of experiments were TIED,
the spectators arranged with The railroad
CONF anies that they would increase the
tolls or this independent coal. Freight
was at once advanced to seven dollars per
Ton. Wien before il had only been two
dollars and City cents: and this advance
was accompanied by other expenses aad

BOW IT IS DONE IN NEW YORK.

Broadway was ordered to be widened
A mixed commission Of Democrats and
Republicans Was appointed to assess the
damages. One of these commissioners, a
Republican, resigned after the award Of
damages was made, but before it was sub
mitted. This resignation left four Demo-
Gratis on the board, and they proceeded
to handle the award in a way that the
people of New York consider very
peculiar. For instance, where the award
had stipulated fifty thousand dollars the
commission changed it to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars Again: a
piece of property that was sold while
the commission was in session for twenty
eight thousand dollars. and which was
awarded five thousand dollars damages,
came in under the new figur-
ing for thirty-fve thousand dollars,
or seven thousand dollars more
than the entire lot was worth. A witness
certified that lot he had been willing to
sell for certain sum had been purchased
conditioned on the award the party
believing that he would secure enough
damages for one-fourth of the front to pay
for the whole lot.
At this point of the investigation, Tweed,
Sweeny and Connolly sent for the District
Attorney, German, who was with the
Grand Jury while this testimony was be-
ing elected, and after short consultation
they all entered Judge Sutherland's
court, and on motion of the District At
torney the Grand Jury were called in and
discharged This is the way things are
done in New York, where the beautiful

THE Illinois Prairie Farmer is in
formed that John P. Alexander, the
king Of live stock men in the United
States, has made an assignment of his
property for the benefit of his credit
ors. His liabilities are stated at
$1,000, 900, while his assets foot up from
800. 900 to 5000, 900 more than that.
Mr.. AleXander's residence Is in Nor
gan county, In this State, where he
owns an immense stock farm. Two or
three years since he bought the cele-
DRAFTED Sulllvant Farm, known rs
"Broadlands," In Douglas county,
containing $1,000 acres. 1t was re-
ported n short time since that he had
sold Broadlands for 5000, 900, but from
some canse the sale was not consum-
mated. This Is probably the heaviest
failure of any agricultural man yet
recorded In the history Of the United
States.
