THE sOCKLEss LEGISLATURE.
Senate Will Kill Radical Bflls-The
North Carolina Solons.

NORTH CorOltno SolOnss
Topeka, Kan, March AT noon today
the sixty-day session for which the legis-
lature receives pay expired. The Senate
last night organized as court of impeach-
mcnt for the trial of Judge Botkin, of the
Sixth judicial district, and until the court
is dissolved the senator's will each receive
his regular salary. The patriotism of the
representatives will be tested by their
being obliged to serve unrequited. The
Senate is therefore in position to insist
upon all their amendments to bills, and
can delay consideration of Objectionable
measures beyond the patience of the repre-
sentatives The Senate will probably use
its advantage by killing the bill providing
a wholesale reduction of the salaries of
county officers, the Elder mortgage and
bond tax bill. and other radical measures.

ture is winding up its business tonight.

The report also stated Penman had made

agricultural interests have permanently
frightened. The rewards of agricultural
labor hereafter are apt TO be higher than they
have been in the past Moreover the growth
of our own cities as well as the increased
facilities for rapid transportation to the great
centres Of the North render it very probable
that the trucking interests of Virginia will be-
come larger in volume and more profitable
with the passage of each year.
We would be very much pleased to see
such colonization plan as that We have sug-
gested carried out under the most favorable
circumstances. both as 10 the soil selected
and the management by which it would be
controlled in the beginning. Upon careful

would be attended with success.

the recommendation Of ali nght-thinking
people: tina. there is great need for reform
and for efficient energetic measures TO
reduce the disease and mortality now
prevalent is self-eyident There are few
citizens but who know OF some localities
where the state OF things described by you
exists, and as you write II IS indeed "a
wonder that the localities where this state OF
things has been permitted 30 long 10 exist
have not been visited by malignant
and murderOus epidemic" There are
many sad hearts that have been
made 70 bleed from the effects Of the
malignant and murderous epidemic that you
refer 10. 1t Is useless for Us "a be lulled into
security or 10 shut our eyes 70 the inevitable.
This condition OF things Is inlurlng our city,
but worse. for no one can tell where or when
the fell destroyer may select his next victim,
the fairest and the sweetest Of the household.
and as you write. something should be done;
the sooner the better" We cannot now afford
TO ridicule facts that attention was called TO
weeks ago, and ! am pleased TO know that
You always believe Ia hewing 10 the line Of
duty. let the chips fall where they may"

STATE ITCIsIATUREs.

The Austin Statesman. in commenting on
the character of the Texas Legislature, refers
to that assembly as being composed Of the
representatives Of three classes ''numskuns.
aspiring politicians and those who are on the
makep
We are inclined TO agree with the Lynch
burg Virginian in thinking that this picture
of the Legislature Of the Lone Star State is
highly oyerdrawn. it being quite probable
that the Statesman was indulging in an ex-
aggerated expression Of opinion called forth
by some passing event, rather than giving
voice to its real sentiments.
We are not accustomed to consider the
great Commonwealth Of Texas as a COM
munity dependent for its legislative we'll
being on fools political intriguers and unblush-
ing bride takers. The Texas delegation lin
the National Congress is one of CONSPICUOUS
ability and incorruptible integrity. at least so
far as common report goes. and there Is no
good reason why the morale of the delegation
to the State Assembly should bo SO much
lower.
II is a serious error into which journal Of
reputation like the Statesman permits itself
to fall when i reflects without the amplest
justification on the good name of It's State
Legislature. 1t is one of those blunders
which are worse than crimes. Nothing IS TO
be gained by denonncing the representatives
of the people as idiots. conspirators and
thieves when there IS room for doubling the
correctness of the designations. Much harm
may be done by such loose and violent Ian
guage.
Unfortunately, the disposition to depreciate
the character oiour State and National legis-
lators alike is not confined to one State or
one journal. It is a weakness Of the Ameri-
can citizen. justified only too often by the
actual state of the case. but in many instances
not justified at all.
II we were to strike general average of our
legislative bodies we believe that they would
be found to be essentially representative OF
the people at large. with just as much good
sense with Just as little corruption under
temptation. with Just as many prejudices
Every fault that can be found with our State
Legislatures can be found with the great body
Of the people. no stream rises higher than its
source.
The man who is displeased with the char
acter of our State Assemblies is opposed 10
popular suffrage for the character Of our
State Assemblies is the result Of such suffrage.
That character is neither very bad nor very
good just like the character Of the people
but with all its DEFICIENCIES and weaknesses it
is essentially and substantially republican,
which is the summum bonum under our form
Of government.

NEEDED LAW.

Dr. Iai1erty spoke correctly and soundly
when lie said recently that a dog tax and an
effective road law would confer as much
benefit upon the interests OF our farmers as
any two measures that could be passed. The
need Of a dog law is most urgent, for the harm
that the ubiquitous cur does is perennial.
whereas in summer and autumn our public
roads are fairly good.
One Of the inconsistencies Of the Farmers
Convention was its eagerness to countenance
the sub-Treasury scheme a financial phan-
tasm worthy of tho brain that conceived the
South sea bubble. and the profound silence
in which il passed over the crying need of
the imposition of a tax upon the worthless
dogs that arc doing SO much TO obstruct the
development OF sheep husbandry in this State.
Consult any man in Virginia who has paid
any attention to this industry and he will de-
clare that the most serious obstacles in the
way of its success are mongrel dogs and thiev-
ish negroes who arc too INDECENT 10 work. but
not too lazy TO carry of q stolen sheep. tax

Der of farmers to increase their hocks and it
