This new Legislature has assumed some
nav obligations. More is expected of
them than would have been or could have
been expected Of their opponents had
they been chosen in their stead. One OF
these obligations concerns the constitu-
tional convention. We think it safe to
predict that q convention will be called.
Il is also expected and desired by large
number OF their supporters and by many
OF the opposite faith that they take some
step towards delivering this State from
the power of the saloon. We may conf
IDENTIFY expect some form Of temperance
legislation. On the whole we nave an
assembly to whom we lock for some new
and wholesome work.--Sedtord Re0itD.
