TIE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature has been in session
more than two weeks. and number OF
private bills and those of LEGAL interest
have been introduced. Last Monday
was the last day upon which any new
bill could be introduced, and 80 the work
of the session has been determined.
On Thursday the House passed bill
to abolish the Lien Law, TO take effect
on the lst day of January, 1889. 1t is
doubtful if this becomes 4 law, AS the
Senate may reject the bill, and the Lien
Law remain rs it now is.
The Senate rejected the bill to furnish
convicts TO any Of the railroads in the
State, and this settles, for the present,
all hopes Of building railroads by con-
vict labor.
There is bill pending in tho Senate
giving the Railroad Commission power
to enforce second class passenger rates.
and also one in the House providing for
second class cars, and making the powers
of the Commission supervisory in regard
to freight tariffs, and subject to the decis-
ion of Circuit Judge. The opinion
prevails, however, that no important
charge will be made in the Railroad
Commission law.

jury in the charge Of Marshals, prevents

to be bought up? ifso, they ought not TO

not to select jurymen in whom the
Court had not confidence sufficient TO
allow them the liberty usual to jurics in
such cases. If the Court cannot trust
the jury selected by the District Attor-
ncy, under the rulings Of the Court, to
do justice to the government, is it u-t
TO the accused, when each member Of
that jury is their political enemy, TO
commit the liberty Of the citizen to

Cheap Whiskey and Tobacco vs. Cheap
Clothing and Neccssgrics.

senator Butler, Of South Carolina, has
introduced bill in the United States
Senate for the repeal Of the whole of the
Internal Revenue laws and the abolition
OF the Internal Revenue system. The
estimated receipts from Internal revenue
taxes, for the current fiscal year, are
abou. $l3O,OOJ,OOO. For the same
period the estimated surplus, without
making any provision for the Sinking
fund, will be about $lOO0OO,OO0. The
abolition OF the Internal Revenue sys.
tenn, therefore, will obstruct and prevent
tariff reform, even more completely than
the election Of Mr.. Randall a. Speaker
would have done.
Senator Butler, we know, is in favor
Of a judicious reduction OF tie duties on
Imports, and was oulsrpkcn in his pre-.

One Hundred Millions Lost.

This year has been one Of the most
disastrous ever known in the history of
the American insurance business. The
losses will exceed $l00,00O,000. Many
Of the agents of the large foreign and
home companies represented in this city
express the utmost anxiety regarding the
future of the insurance business. They
say that the losses have increased to
such an alarming extent that thorough
revision OF the rates has been deemed
necessary. An association composed of
the Philadelphia representatives Of all
the companies doing business here met
last Friday to consider means for in
creasing the premiums.
The agent of one of the largest foreign
companies said "The number of fires
that have occurred in this country within
the past year would surprise you. The
Losses have been constant and increasing.
They will aggregate one hundred millions.
1t is true there has not been any great
conhagration like that at Chicago or
Portland or those at Boston, but the vast
total has been made by the gradual
