LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Mr.. Hall presented 10 the house To-
day bill providing for the refunding
of $500, 900 OF the State debt in 4 per
cent. bonds, which are to run until the
year 1900. 1t also authorizes the State
Treasurer to take up old issues as fast
as the new issue Of bonds are taken.
The Court House bill will probably
not be taken up until Wednesday next.
Representative Fooks appears to be
somewhat exercised over the editorial
made Of him in the REPUBLICAN,
of Friday, wherein it was stated that
he had joined issue with Mr.. Dean in
revealing the crookenness of the legis
lative banquet. As far as his objections
90 he is right. He made no issue with
Mr.. Dean in this matter but made strong
work with him in support of temper
ance principles against the opposition
who succeeded in voting down the
clause, providing for the appointment of
a supervisor. Such wholesale refor-
nation on Mr.. Fooks part is something,
we dare not even dream Of!
