TYPICAL RBPUBLIoANIsM.
We are nearing the close OF the second
month OF the session, and yet no essen.
tial Legislation has been performed, II
we omit the single instance OF the
Pagsley bill. The other bills OF q gen.
eral nature were merely a matter OF
course, and are generally disposed OF by
the time q session III two weeks old.
The local BILLS merely effect the local.
ties for which they are enacted. This
remarkable/lack OF Legislation has cost
the people OF the Safe some $4,000 rot
counting the S25, 900 expenses incurred
by the various committees. which are
still going on spending money.
MBRIDE's SUBSTITUTE KILLED.
The most OF the day yesterday In the
Senate was taken uD In the second read.
Ing OF bills, largely local In their nature.
The House spent the larger part Of the
day discussing Mr.. McBride's substitute
for Mr.. Haleys eight hour bill. The
substitute az we'll az the original bill
gave rise 10 q wide diversity OF opinion,
the Republican side Of the House large.
ly opposing the substitute which was as
follows:
SEC 1896. That In oil mines, manu-.
factories, workshops and other places
where manual labor Except farm labor)

hours shall constitute q days work, and
all firms, companies and corporations,

business in, or organized under the laws
OF this State, refusing TO comply with
the provisions OF this act, aud either
compels or permits lts employees TO work

lievo that any such arms, companies or
corporations have violated the provisions
OF this not, commence forthwith the
necessary action for the forfeiture OF
the corporate privileges, franchises and

The question being on the adoption Of

nays, 80,
HALKY's EIaHT-HoUR BILL.
The original bill then passed 70 to II.
II means nothing but a mere piece Of
buncombe, and 10 M followe:
"SK0TIoN 4365, In all engagements 10
labor In any mechanical or manufactur.
Ing business, q days work, when the
contract 10 silent upon this subject, or
when there 10 no express contract, shall
consist Of eight houre; and all agree
ments. contracts or engagements In
reference 10 such labor shall be 90 con.
strued."
No contract will be SILENT" 80 the
bill Ia merely sham. McBride's sub
stltute, whether right or wrong In
principle, had something tangible In II.
The bill 10 passed will do for the Repub.
