We noticed this bill at the time it was intro
duced, and approved it. Remembering this,
we were the more surprised at his recent vote,
to which alIusion was made last week. We
have, however. been furnished some Of the pro-
visions of the bill, other than the free exchange,
and free circulation in counties where publish
ed features, and can readily account for his OPP
position to the bill. The bill itself had escaped
nopsis of it published last week. If it is as
represented. there are grave objections to it,
and it is doubtful whether there is sufficient
virtue in the features we approve to Overhaul
ance the objections as reported. We have not
the time this week to look into the matter.
Howevef. this does not interfere with the
