The Boise City statesman says that
the time OF the Idaho Legislature is
principally taken up in the coilsidera-
ton and passing of divorce bills, to
tho exclusion Of all other business.
The Speaker, on recent occasion.
left his chair, declaring the divorce
business a nuisance, and that he
would not vote for another bill of that
sort. A scene Of great confusion en-
sued, some members charging that
others traded their votes in order to
get favorite divorce bills through. and
the Legislature lad to adjourn in
order to prevent general muss. A
sad state Of affaIrs, truly.
