THE legislature finally amended the license law to the extent mentioned last week as being under consideration. It alleviated the taxes of railroads carrying indebtedness to fixed and limited extent. It put on it's passage constitutional amendment to have only biennial sessions of the legislature, that is we'll spoken of by papers that opposed it when on pas sage before, and which public sentiment seems now to be strongly for. And final ly it adjourned. Wheather the state is the better for it's ever having been is a question, just as 1t is of most it's predecessors. It is fully safe to predict that the people will very emphatically say in October, 1884, that they can and will get along with less of this legislation.
