LEGISLATIVE SENTIMENT
The general sentiment Of the LEGISLATURE .
certainty in favor OF increa ing the pension
Tor the soldiers. 10 secure such qn lncreas
!. the purpose OF this convention, for So
isa very pitiful sum indeed. Yet II IS a.
they now get IN year.
There is 10 be an execution NJ Clinton o.
the 2Sth instant unless ANNA Ellis. Wh'
slew his father, gets 4 respite.
Thus iar about SO bills have been intro
duced n the Legislature. None OF tl
really important questions have a yet beer
touched, save perhaps that Of county 60
yernment, which is settled. Though SOM
OF the western men oppose the county
government plan. il Is hardly probable tina
an act will be passed tO give some countie
the benefit OF that law aud allow others q
eject their own commissioners, a..
More interest naturally attaches TO the bi
which the Le-islatule will pass creatiog
railway commission. There is a good deI
Of tax about it. The desire appear, 10 be 10
simpe yer strong law which will cloth
the commission with ample powers. Abb
men viii be- placed on The commission. q
course 10 is not yet known whether The con
misslorers win be appointed by the LeRisli
turc OF by the Governor. The act to b
passed will Of course settle that
The business Of trucking will be large
and more important during the coming sea
; son thsn ever before. Preparations for th
crops are now in progress aud the prospec
is encouraging.
Much interest ia fen in regard 10 the AZ
pointments which the new Governor vi
make Of directors Of the various chartatl
and penal institutions, g.. II Il not be
lieyed that he will make many changes.
