CAPITAL DOINGS.
A Summary Of Important Legis-
lative Work.

Done for ChrisCs Sake.
Yesterday at $50 o'clock the Senat'
went into Committee of the Whole tt
consider Senate bills Nos. 81, % and 81
all measures for recompiling the laws o
Nevada. A substitute for 81, introduced
by Senator Westerfield, was adopted. i
provides for compiling the laws at an ex
pense Of $4,000, the contract to be let tt
George W. Keith and John M. Campbell
of Lyon County. No. % Senator Brum
bilD names W. E. f. Deal and r. l.
Thomas as compilers, allowing them $4,000
for the work. No. "a introduced by Sen
ator Foley requires the Supreme Jus
tees and Clerk of theSupreme Court to dc
the compiling without any charge to the
State. The Brumsey and Foley bills
were laid on the table, and the commit.
tee recommended the passage of Senate
bill 81. The latter was amended 30 as tc
allow the compilers 81, 1000.
H PRISON REMOVAL
Senator Westerield's bill for the re-
moval of the State Prison to Reno, in.
PRODUCED on the 18th inst, and now in the
hands Of the Committee on Ways and
Means, brings up the old fight between
P%owningville and the State Capital. 1t will
probably be a free-for-all affair, in which
case your correspondent may, when the
battle wakes furious, take o hand. In the
meantime he must content himself with
briefly noticing the main features of SEN
bill No. 40. A Building Committee,
consisting of the Board of State Prison
Commissioners and tho Prison Warden,
are "to control and manage the construc-
ton and completion of the State Prison
near Reno" And this suggests the old
for preparing the hare for the table,
the securing of the animal being a very i'm
feature in the proceeding. The
Building Committee are to have power to
a Superintendent Of Construction
1t $3.50 per month, let contract for con-
struction of prison buildings, etc. The
are to use convict labor Eek
the necessary guards and labor
out of said walls" whatever
may be meant by this quoted portion of
The bill. Arms, ammunition, clothing,
ron cells, etc., now at the Carson State
Prison are to be used during the construc-
ton of the Westerfield enterprise. Each
who behaves himself and performs
satisfactory labor on the contemplated
prison shall receive a credit Of ten days
IN each month Of his imprisonment. The
'um of $50, 900 is to be appropriated to
carry out the object of the bill, and a sum
lot exceeding one-half the amount is to be
expended in the year 1888. There is a
weird humor in the last sentence Of Sec
ion 6 of the Westerfield bill, which pro-
rides for returning to the General Fund
my portion of the $50, 900 mot necessar-
ly used" Would Reno, or would Eureka,
,veniallow the injustice to be done its rep
ltation for thrift by ever permitting any
of a $50, 900 prize to get out Of its
and back into the General Fund?
Perish the thought! All, Senator Wester-
ield, your humor is of the paralyzing
But the removal bill will probably
70 reported back to the Senate soon, and
in a favorable way, for Senator
schooling is Chairman OF the Committee
Ways and Means, and when the bill
'omes up for final action, "therell be-"
IS my friend Gilhooly says, "lively
on in the Senate"
IT ITS FATE.
Assembly bill No. 80, made a special
order for Monday last at 2 o'clock P. NJ,
vas beaten by almost an unanimous vote.
The bill, as you will remember, gave nom
resident creditors the right to attach in
Nevada before obtaining judgment. When
he measure came up for final action, AS
Boskowitz, who made 3 good
light againstth bill throughout, moved
hat sections / and Q, its most objection
bile features, be stricken out, which mo-
ion was carried unanimously. The bill,
low rendered harmless, passed without
opposition. The attachment Jaw remains
bout the same as it was, the new law max
ng this change, however, "that publica-
ion shall be for six weeks instead Of three
THE NJ BILL.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee
lave reported a substitute for Senate bill
10. 10, which relates to licensing com
travellers or drummers. Under
he substitute bill every drummer is COM
compelled to take out an annual license,
he figure Of such license depending upon
he character Of business for which the
raveling agent is solicitor. The rates Of
are to be as follows. For selling
vines and liquors, $780, tobacco and
mokers goods, 500; groceries and pro-
SIS; hardware and sporting goods,
'65; crockery and glassware, furnishing
md dry goods, jewelry, etc., $50. 1t is a
rood argument in favor Of the new bill
hat under the existing law there is very
title revenue from drummer'5 license;
hat the travelling agent spends not 81
With US now where he formerly spent $40,
out at the same time he takes orders, col
cots and receipts for money just as success
as If he was not deceiving the local
Conundrum: Does the drummer
really practice much deception on the
cop" or does the latter sometimes fur
aish a powerful illustration Of the correct
hess OF the Fergusonian aphorism that
man ia frail 2" The substitute bill is by
no means a perfect measure, in fact it Is q
sort of compromise, and some n once
wisely said that compromise and coward
Ice are synonymous terms. But the new
bill ia in many respects an improvement
On the old one, and under Its workings
our State Treasury might be substantially
benefited by a class who now successfully
evade a senseless law. The bill, as amend
I'd, passed to engrossment yesterday.
