The LEGISLATURE.

ED. PRESS: The members Of the
Legislature, at present in session in
this city, are the best looking body of
representatives ever assembled in this
State, inasmuch that it Is difficult to
distinguish them from other citizens.
Some of the Senators can quote latin,
while many of the Lower House men
can write "a bill for an act entitled an
act" This is a great improvement.
The representative who, Two years
ago, wore blue shirt and bed-tick
suspenders, is now decorated with q
shuck collar and dude hat. In the
session of 1888 the representative from
Churchill County "ehewed" new
tobacco and spit through his teeth, but
now he smokes cigarettes. He has
ceased blowing his nose by placing his
thumb on one nosirils and throwing
himselfin an attitude of great agitation.
He now uses an embroidered handker-
chef. Though his legislative snort is
still loud and resoundlng, yet his
fellow sufferers in the Assembly are
not nearly so endangered.
The Senator from Els County
used to camp in the suburbs and eat at
free lunch saloon, but the cattle bust
ness has doomed up considerably
during the last Two years and he now
calls at 25cent restaurant. Every
State for national improvement mus
look to higher class of legislation.
That this improvement is taking place
in Nevada no one but wayfarng man
and dyspeptic can doubt. The man
who, at the commencement of the
session, moved that the House adjourn
to give The law makers chance to see
Sam Davis eat a square meal and an
Irishman break colt, now knows
enough to call for the "previous
question" and has learned to read the
signs as he walks along the streets.
Long wo DIS still puzzle him. but such
simple words as "Old Kentucky
Whisky" or "All Drinks 10 cents are
read by him in an easy, of-hand
manner.
Let us all be thankful for these
many blessings, together with the fact
that there is d constitutional limit TO
the exercises of devotion in behalf OF
the dear lamented people.
The lover of political economy who
thought that the Governor should
receive but $7j month, and that the
newspapers should receive no encour
agement from "this honorable body"
Is dead, politically. Yes, while enjoy
ing full possession of his great intellect

money! came long end settled upon
him. In place of his wonted complex
ion eff azure, golden tint spread over
his Agamenon features. They say
that he is beautiful in death. SO is a
bronzed frog.
There have been no murders during
the session, except the killing of the
Crazy-quilt bill. What an improve
ment in morals? What an attempt to
put on wings and fit with merry hum
around the great lamp of State? The
driver is lashing the mule attached 10
the Car Of improvement.
The State expects great results from
the present session of the Legislature,
and the dog law should not be over
looked. have just heard an encour-
aging piece of news. The man who
introduced resolution declaring that
the Office of Secretary of State should
be abolished, and that his duties be
by the janitor for $40
month, has just been run over by
wagon and is not likely to live.
As usual, Eureka County sends more
lobbyists here than any other county
in the State. The last one Of that
class who arrived here comes for the
purpose of getting relief bill through
the Legislature relative to the cele
brated White Pine County bond case
The Supreme Court has decided that
the oondsmen will have to make their
several amounts good. This "lickles'

he and his friends will make an effort
to be relieved
G. L, Allen, President of the Ruby
Hill Miners Union, came in last week
for the purpose officiating the Militia
bill. Mr.. Alien does not claim to be n
practical miner, but he is dressed IN a
nice SUIT OF clothes and dramatic
voice.
