was made 10 suspend the rules
and refer it to the committee
of the whole, and thus advance it on the
calendar. The element which has been
lighting the present management was
strong enough to defeat this motion,
though more than majority of the full
house voted in favor of the motion. The
bill was then referred to the agricultural
committee, which held meeting in the
afternoon, and after full consideration of
the different provisions of the bill, voted
to report in favor of its passage just as it
came from the senate, and will so report
1t back this morning, and the house will
undoubtedly follow the wise example of
the committee and pass it in this shape,
any amendment at this time simply meau-
ing defeat of the bill.
The senate having refused to concur in
the conference report upon the bill for tie
organization of villages, new committee
was named, the speaker appointing on the
part of the house, Messrs. Cole, ]. Smith
and Daniels.
MR.. sABIN's GOODBYE.
An incident of more than usual interest
ouccured in the house shortly after IL a.
m, when the speaker, interruptipg the reg
ular order of business, said that Mr.. Sabin.
United States senator elect, had received a
telegram calling HIM TO Washington, for
which city he was to leave on the noon
train. He asked that the senator elect be
rrlpH tba r,pirilar,n Of
words to the members Of the house, with
whom he was about to sever
his very pleasant official relations. Mr..
Sabin thereupon took position immedia-
tely in front of the clerks desk and said:
'Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen: know YOU
will excuse me for this interruption, but
have suddenly been summoned to Wash
ington, and did not feel like leaving with
out having the privilege of bidding you all
goodbye. 1 am much obliged, therefore.
to the speaker. for securing me this
opportunity. 1 desire to express to
you my heartfelt thanks for the many
courtesies you have shown me, and to as
sure you that l shall continue to share a
con m "a interest in your affairs, and trust
shall have your continued good will; and
IN saying goodbye to you all, I desire to
say, If at any time l can be of service to
you, that l trust you will command me
wltho2t restraint, and can assure you that
all that is within my abilities shall be done
for you. Whatever there is to do 1 shall be
only too willing to do, and 1 trust that my
efforts may ever be to your satisfaction.
and for the best interests of the state"
As Mr.. Sabin ceased, Mr.. Hicks moved a
recess for three minutes to bid him good
bye, which motion was adopted, and he
was quickly surrounded by members and
officers, by whom he received a most cor
dial hand-shake, accompanied by hearty
and evidently sincere expressions of good
will and best wishes for his success in the
new and important position to which he
has been called.
HIGH LICENSE.
At about 3:15 o'clock, when one batch of
bridge bills had been disposed of, Mr..
Cole asked for suspension of the rules
to take up and act upon his license bill.
In support of his motion Mr.. Cole said
there was an urgent necessity, in his opin-
ion, for the passage of some temperance
bill at this session. He was daily receiving
letters from some of the most earnest
temperance men IN the state, who urged
some stringent legislation, at this time,
for the regulation of the liquor traffic.
and saying if it was not done
they would two years hence be
pronounced pr0hi5itionists. Father
Ireland. one of the most earnest temper
ance workers in the state, who had done
more FOR that cause than any other one
man in the state, had made an earnest ap-
peal for such legislation. He believed
with these gentlemen that such legislation
was needed, and he further believed that
both the senate bill and the Hicks bill in
the house, contained such Objectionable
features as would certainly secure their de-
feat, aud that the bill introduced by him,
being simple proposition to
increase the license, could be
passed, and thus meet the just and urgent
demands of the temperance people of the
state.

the role of leader of the prohibition eIe-
ment during the session, interposed an
objection, and thus prevented the bill be-
ing taken up, two-thirds of the full mem
bership not voting to suspend the rules.
Later Mr.. Cole endeavored to
have the two bills made
the special order for 4
p. m but Mr.. Hicks again objected, and
so me attempt to enact some practical
temperance legislation again failed by
the obstruction policy of a professed
friend.
Later, when the Hicks bill was reached
On third reading, Mr.. Hicks asked unani-
nous consent to amend the bill to make
the minimum license not less than 500,
but Mr.. Hill objected. Mr.. Hicks then
moved to suspend the rules that he might
offer the amendments proposed, but the
motion was lost, receiving only 81 afirma-
tive votes. The bill was then put upon
its passage. After reading the bill and
befors proceeding with the roll call, call
