The Twenty ninth session of the Legislative

doubtless be glad to reach the session has
been an eventful one, in more than one respect.
and although at times, the debate on the various
questions involved have been warm and
earnest it is safe TO say that majority, at
least, OF the various members will separate
with nothing but the best of feelings. There
are some no doubt who may feel a little
disheartened ohagrined at the failure CT some
pet scheme. upon which they had built great
hopes, only to find them dashed to the ground
at the time when success seemed almost
within their grasp. The latter are few, how
ever, and we believe even these will, after re-
lection, cheerfully resign themselves to the will
Of the majority
There were the same scenes reenacted yes
terday that are always witnessed at the close of
al legislative bodies. On assembling in the
morning. there was very marked sign of
WEAKNESS exhibited due, of course, to the all
night session of the day previous AS a result
Of this, and for other reasons which il is not
necessary TO mention, business dragged rather
slowly. 1t was thought, at first, that the ad-
ournment would be in order at about D. m
That hour arrived, and then was named as the
lime. When O'Clock came, it was confidently
asserted that the members would bid good by to
Zach other not later than &. Seven o'clock
pealed forth from the city hall tower, and then
:he question of adjournment was laid aside for

lime yesterday was put in on the appropriation
bill, to which they had made numerous amend
ments, and which was not received in the House
until late in the afternoon, and while the latter
body had no amendments to offer, yet there was
considerable time of necessity spent in enrolling

THE NEPHI COURT BILL
Perhaps the measure that has caused the
most iHfeeling, il we may be allowed to use the
term in this connection, was the bill introduced
In the Council, but killed in the House. providing
Tor the holding of sessions os the First district
court at Nephi. The bill first came into prom
tnence in the House on Thursday evening, and
The fitting hither and thither OF the friends and
Enemies OF the measure was very noticeable,
especially during the early part of the evening.
The bill coming up on its passage met ready
Heath, but this did not seem to daunt the friends
Of the measure, who instituted one Of the most
Earnest systems of lobbying ever seen within
the walls of the city hall. This was most con-
spicuous yesterday morning, when it was limited
that motion would be made TO reconsider
The vote by which the bill was killed,
Ind twas rumored that enough votes had been
secured to pass it. This started the opposers to
The measure at work. and few hours later
there were satisfied smiles on the features of

consider was made, but it was promptly voted
down, and as under the rules, this killed the
bill so far as the late session of the Legislature
was concerned, it was thought this ended the
matter, and one of the dignified gentlemen from
Utah county was caught In the act Of executing
double shuttle in the ante-room. However,
this did not end the matter for later in the day
message was received from the Council to the
Effect that it had passed bill providing for
sessions of the First judicial district court at
Nephi" Had a bombshell burst in the room it
would have created little more astonish
ment.
Mr.. Pierce promptly moved to reject it, but it
was finally referred to the committee on Judi
riary, who recommended that it be not passed
The recommendations of the committee were
adopted-and in rather decisive manner.
THE PAVING BILL.
There was very spirited debate upon the
paving bill, which was strongly opposed by the
country members, but finally went through with
The governor Recommendations adopted.
THE REVENUE BILL
was also bufeted about TO a considerable ex-
tent, and there were many other measures men
toned below, which were amended to conform
10 the governors amendments.
PLEASANT SESSION.
Taken all in ALL the session has been a most
pleasant one for all concerned, and most of the
new members have fulfilled the expectation of
their friends.
THE STATIST1ClAN BILL
One OF the most impor tant measures passe
Is the bill creating o bureau of statistics, and
Harry Culmer whose pet idea it was, smiled
serenely when he was told of the result.
TIE EQUALIZATION BILL.
Mr.. Hammond enjoys the distinction OF hav-
ing introduced II. F. 100, which is
The territorial equalization bill, OF a
rear ago, with one important proviso added,
which is TO the effect that when the assessment
is completed the board OF equalization shall
squalize the amount among the several coun-
hes, but shall not have power to increase or de-
grease the aggregate amount.
''This,'' said one of the members last evening
twill do much to remedy the evils complained OF
two years ago."
