Routine Report.


Senate met at 10 o'clock.
Senator 9. F. Buck called up the bill appro-
priating $1,000 to aid the Anti Drive Well as
ISOLATION, and made a speech explaining the
necessity for such an appropriation. and moved
that it be put on the calendar for a third read

committee of the whole, some days ago. be was
prevented from expressing his views by neces-
sary absence, and he now desired to do so, and
secure its passage if possible. He stated that
there were $4,000 CT these drive-wells in the
State, and that the holders of the pretended
patent would, if not resisted In the most eff
hcaclous manner by superior legal talent, carry
away from the State from quarter to a half, a.
million dollars.
Senator Pillsbury said he had been compelled
to pay nearly fifty dollars for the privilege of
using his drive WE'LL and was very much pro-
goked at the methods used to fitch that amount
from him.
fight the case. though he had no drive-welI.
Senator Thatcher asked Mr.. Pillsbury if he had
to pay sou in addition to the cost of the we'll.
Senator Pillsbury said he had received notice
to come and settle for his drivc-well. He in
structed his clerk to pay the bill through a mis-
take, and the bill was $47.5O, instead Of $40, as
he had supposed, and the receipt was drawn in
such manner as to prevent him from sueing
the sharpers. He was willing to be taxed $500
to fight the cases.
Senator H. B. Wilson wanted the owners of
drive-wells to put their hands in their pockets
and defend themselves as others had to do when
they get into trouble.
Senator Thacher was sorry for people who
owned drive-wells, but he was opposed to the
State fighting the battles of private individu-
ais. If this bill was passed, others would fol-
low, and it would be difficult to ind place to
stop such appropriations.
The bill was discussed by several other Sena-
tors, when the motion to indefinitely postpone
the bill was lost, and the bill was placed on
calendar.

The adoption of a memorial to Congress

sincere there was better and surer way of
bringing about the so-called reform by
amending the constitution of our own State
SO as to grant the franchise to women. The
