The Austin Reveille says the present is
n of the most imbecile Legislatures the
State has ever been burdened with. This
leads the Carson Tribune to say that the
Reveille probably comes to the conclusion
from the fact that the attention of the Leg

insane matters. If the Legislature would
obey the wishes Of all the newspapers OF
the State. no two of which are in accord
on any given line Of State policy, its mem
bers would all be raving maniacs before
the end Of the session.
