On February IS, Gov Wiley
convened both houses in joint
session and told them that the
session was very near its end,
and business was backward,
and many important and ne
cessary measures have not been
passed, he wished to know
what they were going to do.
The constitution limits to $500
the sum to be paid any mem
Der for o regular session, and
this limit expired the next
night. Some members would
not care to stay after that date
without compensation, and as
he did not propose to call an
exta session, he had called the
joint convention to discuss the
situation. Several members
aired their eloquence, and fl
nally motion was adopted
that the Legislature do not ad-
journ until the question of
salary is determined by the
supreme court, and a commit
tee was appointed to bring the
question properly before the
court. As the court had al
ready refused to pass on the
question of whether this is a
regular or special session, the
conquesences to the tax pay
ers will be frightful to con-
template if the court should
again plead lack of jurisdiction
and refuse to give its opinion,
thereby leaving the solons in
perpetual session to pile up a
big Indebtedness against the
state. Representative Good
night the next day applied to
the state auditor for that days
pay, and as the auditor refu-
sed, application was made to
the supreme court for a writ
of mandate in order to make
test case. If successful, we
shall likely have an all sum
mer session, as there are a lot
of chumps down there to whom
So a day is a 'soft snap" and
they can be depended on to
stay with it as long as they
can. Poor old Idaho has an
"Old Man of the Sea- around

The Latest From Boise CitU.

Our correspondent writes
on February 20, as follows:
"There is no printed copy
of the High License bill entire
yet. Senator Weller finds a
flaw which he thinks invali-
dates it. If so, and the Reve-
nue. bill should pass fixing the
quarterly license at 500 it
would be q curious state of af-
fairs. The Wagon Road bill
will not pass as no money can
be had for it. The constitu-
tional limit will be reached by
other appropriations. The ses-
sion is likely to continue for
some time. About 25 men,
bers of the House are anxious
to sit all summer, if they can
do so, at an expense to the
state of five dollars per day.
The session would be disgrace
fully eXtravagant if it were not
curbed. There are no devel-
opments in the Agricultural
college business"

bill. It's none the less a fact
that the house committee hav-
ing the free coinage bill in
charge availed themselves of a
point of order to avoid report
ing the bill to the house, and
thereby smothered it in COM
mittee. The Force bill was al
SO killed in the senate by the
vote on a point of order.
We regret exceedingly that
the vote of Idaho's representa-
should be cast, even in the
most indirect manner, against
free coinage. The debasement
of silver in 1873 was a greater
crime than the colossal fraud
of comforting the suffrage upon
the negro, for whereas negro
suffrage was only a crime "a
gainst the white people of the
south, the debasement of sill
yer was a crime against every
man, woman and child, white
and black, in every precinct
in these United States. AS an
engine to enrich the few at the
expense Of the masses it is far
more potent than that other
iniquity of tariff taxation.
AS to the Force bill we wish
to say that the United States
government, with all its wealth
and all its power, would be
powerless to enforce it.

The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1891-04-09
The Sub-TreaSurY Bill.

For the better information of it,
readers, the LEADER to-day publishes
the full text of the much discussed
Sub Treasury bill introduced in the
last Congress, and bespeaks for it a
careful reading. The bill, as it
stands, is considered imperfect by
many of the most ardent supporters
of the general plan embraced within
its provisions, and before it becomes
a law, if it ever does, will be mate
rally amended to remedy these de-
fects.
The ablest defense of the Sub
Treasury plan we have yet seen has
been made by Hon. +. Barksdale in
his letter to which we referred last
week.
The Clarion Ledger thus summa-
rizes the arguments of the distinguish
ed gentleman
LIST. That it is constitutional. In
support of this position, he cites the
constitution itself, the acts of the gov
ernment, the opinions of its trainers
as declared soon after its formation,
and the decisions of the Supreme
courts.
2nd. That it is justified by prece-
dents which serve the double purpose
of indicating the measure, and of re-
futing the objections which have been
urged against it: precedents, some OF
which he says were established by the
directors themselves.
Bird. That some Of the objections
which have been raised are untenable,
and in some instances transparently
frivolous.
4th. That it is a mertrious measure
for reasons which he set forth in de
tail.
He takes care, however, to assert
that it is subject to modification and
amendment; that it's originators do
not claim that it is perfect; that they
ask for it calm consideration and
caring little tor "minOr details only
aim at the attainment of the main OBJ
icct, viz: San increase of the vol
ume of currency pr0portiOnate to the
necessities of the country"
