not felt themselves losing hold
upon life as they approached the

WHAT THEY lid,

The usual cry las gone up from
the disappointed coteiIe that the
Legislature has done nothing.
These grumblers DO not stale what
should have been done that thc
Legislature did not DO. II is easy
to fault find; q gteat deal easier
to grumble than to work, In this
instance the Legislature did thc
work and hese critics, the
grumhling.
While the Legislature did one
or two things which in our .jgdg-
ment shoald have been left un-
done, and failed 10 DO some things
which we wished TO see accom-
plishcd, yet taken as a whole, Tie
session has been marked by hard,
earnest, pains taking work. Tho
pledges made have been redeemed
50 far Us was in their power.
The people demanded that a
constitutional convention be call
ed. Their Representatives went
to work, passed the bill and the
/ Governor interviewed and said it
should not be. This In itself was
a great work.
Numerous amendments to the
| Constitution were proposed. Time
and labor were spent, but the in
fluence Of he "powers that be-
was too strong for the friends OF
tie people. Their efforts were ii
vain.
Then the bill quietiug the titlt
to the lands in the delta was PCS
sed. This is the most important
piece ol legislation which has beer
enacted IN 10 years. II was. too
a matter tbat required a grea
amount of investigation to SCI
that no job was snegkod thrcugl
under the protecting garb Of
merltorious measure. The mer'
passage Of bill is the lightes
part Of the work performed
And then there was fight
long and hard, to make corpora
tons reach into their corpuIon
Golfers and pay their rightfu
share of taxation. Weeks wer,
spent in tie effort TO accomplish
this mucli-needed reform. Thr
effort fal'ed, but the work ha'
been done.
Then days were spent in dis
cnssing the educational bill, th
equalization bill. labor bills, th
appropriation bill, and other i'm
portant measures.
Then, too, reariy l50 bills Of
local prohibitory nature " er,
passed. This was a great d al

Here is a bit Of news from
Englaod just over by cabla-that
may mean a great deal:
"Nearly 1000 anciout docu-
ments have BEEN discovered in an
old walled-up chamber Of what
used to be the Guildhall aud is
at this time part Of the
Grammar School at Stratford-on-
Avon. The existence of this
room was revealed while altera-
tions were being made, and the
documents III question were found
strewn oil over the floor. The
bulk Of these are in a fair state Of
presei vutien, only few being
really illegiole. A hasty cxamin-
alton shows that some are dated
as far back as 1879, which was
three years before Shakespeare
was married, md the whole range
roughly IRON Elizabeth to Queen
Ammo. they seem mostly town
and parish papers, with wills,
deeds, petitions and all solts of
written records. They have been
put in place of safety, and MIR.
Savage, who is the Shakcspearian
Librarian at Sratford, is to make
II minute examination of them.
1t is confidently expected that
this will th'ow light on numerous
ebscura points in Shakespeare s
life and early surroundings"

and determined to resort to the law. They
have retained Attorney A. S. Hoffman,

Mayor and police OF Lakeview from inter
ferng with their constitutional right OF
assembly and free speech. In the mean
time they announce that the meeting,
which is 10 be addressed by Nine. Helm
rich Wilhcmine, well known German
Socialist will be held. Two Chicago socie.
ties and the Lakeview Turn Vorcln will
march TO the hall in body.
A local paper speaking OF the agitation,
says: The Arbeitcr Bund, which came so
suddenly into notoriety, is no more. That
is to say, its namo has been abandoned
but not its objects. This was done at q
secret meeting held two nights ago. Al
bert CURLY made short speech and ex-
planned that the object OF the meeting was
to overcome the interferegGe Of the police,
and one method adopted was 10 change
the name from Arbeiter Blmd TO Arbeiter
RechtSschnz. He also said that the time
had come for action. eve did nothing
on November II" he continued, "but it
is not too late yet. Let us stand together
and talk this matter over. Don't be eX-
cited. Keep cool, but mean business just
as the capitalists do. The first thing is
how TO get n hall; second, under what
name we shall go other than Arbeiter Btuld.
That name is played out. The best thing
is to call 1t Christian society, and try TO
rcnt vacant churches for our meetings.
Let us show that the police have bulldozed
us once, but that they will not do il
again"
Then a man named Iowa made a
speech, and said, among other things
IAN these meetings are GOOD for nothing.
Lot us act, and show to the police tina,
they cannot do as they please" A mo-
ton was made TO appoint secret commit
tee to procure halls for holding meetings,
and was carried. 1t was said that there
was an old Christian Church on Twelfth
street that could be rented. Then it was
resolved TO hold rousing meeting in the
town OF Lake next Sunday, under the
auspices OF the Arbeitsr RscitsSchuts.
