Frank LcsIie's WiII-ObjectiOns Filed by

and Henry. Henry, who calls himself Frank

was caused by frauds, circunvention and
undue influence, practiced against decedent
by the person named as executrix in the will,
whose maiden name was Marion Florence
Follin, otherwise known as Mrs. Squires,
otherwise known as h1rs. Frank Leslie; that
such person was not at the death of Frank

oBsrRucg1os1s1s IN TIE LEGISLATURE.

The absolute necessity Of adopting some
means of facilitating legislation, and espe-
cially of securing the enactment OF rev.
enue law in time to put the new revenue
system in operation on the date fixed by
the Constitution, moved the Republican
members of the Legislature to propose
joint committee. This was the only prac-
ticable method available for the avoidance
of delays which threatened to prevent the
passage of a revenue bill. The proposal
was distinctly and entirely in the line of
duty, and in the interests of the people.
There was no ground for rational objection
to it. It had been advanced by the ma
jority in both chambers most properly,
seeing that they represented the polit-
zeal organization upon which the main
responsibility for action must rest. 1t
was business-hke and sagacious plan,
and it ought to have obtained the un-
heaitatirg Endorsement and acquiescence
of every member of the Legislature
But though the increasing pressure OF
business is patent to all !; though the ne
oessity of prompt action upon the revenue
bill is clear as day (; though every hour Is
precious until that vital measure is dis
posed of; a clique of members of the
Assembly compelled the absolute loss OF
the better part of a working day, on Mon
day, in resisting an arrangement which
they had not the shadow OF Justification
for opposing, and which they knew from
the outset they could not defeat. a more
fragrant piece of obstruction for the mere
sake of obstruction has seldom been perpe-
trated. The Workingmer in the Assembly
put themselves in the discreditable attl-
tude of fighting the serious business OF the
session, and of fighting it in such way as
to show that they only cared to hinder
progress. Opposition to specific measures
is quite different matter, but in this case
it was the endeavor to do the work
of the session in the most businesslike
way that was so perslstently resisted.
The obstructionists knew perfectly well
that unless the revenue bill can be, not
merely enacted, but put into the hands of
the Assessors, before the first of March,
the provisions of the new Constitution ON
taxation cannot be applied this year. They
knew, further, that if the ordinary course
were followed it would be impossible to
Chamber drew up a separate bill it would
take at least twice as long to make an
agreement as if both Chambers worked in
concert. Yet, despite these notorious facts
member after member rose and protested
against the efforts OF the Republicans to
put the new Constitution in operation.
