MI Norton, OF Bennington, to-day ln-
troduced bill to regulate the sale of intox-
icating liquors, which is said to be substan-
TALLY The Illinois liquor law. and is quite
stringent in its provisions. IL any kind of
n license law is to lie enacted it should be
no less severe than this one and If any
radical change in the policy of the state is
designed by the present legislature, the con-
sheraton of Mr. Nor;on's bill will develop
the strength of the license element am
of the opinion that when the vote comes to
be taken it will be found that quite ma
ioriiy Of the Legislature will be opposed TO
the change proposed but will prefer to en-
graft upon the present prohibitory law such
amendments as have been found necessary
to lis more perfect enforcement.
The committee on claims today reported
against allowing the claim Of ]. II French
secretary of the Board Of education, for
Office rent fuel and lights, and the third
reading of the bill was very promptly re-.
fused. This IS bur straw indication of
the very evident feeling of the legislature
| to cut off what some of the members cluim
is a useless drain on the treasury of the
| Of th,npot, lao 81 Il M,
The house have to-day passed bill to
pay Charles II. Joyce S05.36 tor profcs-
sional services in the examination of Far
rell and Lawrence at Arlington, at the time
of the murderous assault which resulted in
the shooting Of Mr.. Farrclls son by Mr..
Farrell himself
The house yesterday found Il subject
upon which 10 exercise its desire for re-
trenchment and reform and in their mag
nanimly, passed the bill to cut down the
per diem pay of the messengers. 1t is said
that the senate have higher appreciation
of the services of these faithful boys, and
will refuse to concur in the passage of the
bill. If the efforts of the house had been
directed to reducing the number of boys
who have places in the scrgeanl-at-arm
Office and left the pay as it is, their action
would have been open to less criticism. 1t
is limited, however. that some Of those
members who favored cutting down the
pay of the messengers, have an eye to the
main chance in the future, hoping that the
number may be increased without addi-
tional expense to the state.
The food of bills TO change names and
constitute persons heirs-at-law have come
to a stand-stil in the senate, where they
are all held awaiting the passage of the bill
to amend the generalslaw on that subject
so as to enable the parties interested to Sc
cure their ends by general law and not by
special enactment. This is right if the
general law is defective it should be
amended so as TO meet the eXigcnces of
every worthy case, and not cumber the
statute books with so much special legisa-
ton
The special acts of incorporation are
also clogged in the senate in the same way,
awaiting amendments to the general law
The house concurred with the senate in
the passage of the joint resolution provid-
ing for an adjournment from Saturday
until Tuesday afternoon, (yil,ually until
Wednesday,, to enable the members from
the second congressional district to 90
home to attend the special election next
| Tuesday, and both houses were thin this
afternoon. Probably by tomorrow but
few members will be left in town, and little
or 20 business will be done before Wedncs-
day next. LEN.
