STATE SOLONS CONVENE
Connecticut's Interesting Dead
lock Now in Operation.
MANY SPEAKERS WE'RE CHOSEN.

What Was Done by the Legislatures OF
Connections, New York, Pennsylvania
and Other states-w. +. sheehan for
Speaker OF the Empire State Assembly.
HARTFORD, Jan. THE general assem-
bly, Of Connecticut met at 10 O'Clock this
morning. Under the constitution major
lty OF the popular vote Is necessary 10 an
election Of governor and other state Off
GERS, and failing that, the Office is filed by
the general assembly. This year the
senate has ten Democratic majority and
the house sixteen Republican majority.
The official canvass Of the returns al the
secretary OF states Office shows a majority
OF twenty-six for l.. S. Norris, OF New
Haven, Democratic candidate for governor.
The election was the first for state officers
under the new.secret ballot law, and in the
count through the state several Prohibi-
tion votes were rejected by moderators for
having on them the word for before the
Office named, while several thousand such
were counted. Other votes OF each party
were rejected for various causes.
An Obstinate Deadlock.
The Republicans insist that the matter
should be inquired into and errors, II
found, be corrected. Democrats claim
that there is no going back on returns aud
the session opened with the prospect Of
deadlock between the two houses-the
senate declaring Morris elected and the
house refusing and insisting on an investi-
CATION to be followed by the declaration
that no election was effected, in which
case the Republicans would elect their
candidate.
In case the two houses continue to stand
apart the present officers-all Republicans
hold over. The Repub blicans say that
they are acting according TO the constitu-
tion in insisting on settling the governor
ship contest before anything else, and IN
following that policy they keep from mi
nor state offices various Democrats whose
apparent majorities were much larger than
that of Morris, but the Republicans put
the responsibility for that upon the Demo
Gratis.
Democrats Threaten P1att.
The situation is liable 10 assume differ
ent phases at any time, but this Is the
present condition. Neither party processes
any inclination TO recede and while Dem
ocrats threaten TO embarrass the re-elec-
tion Of Mr.. Platt to the United States sen
ate, the Republicans express every conf
dence that such efforts cannot succeed.
Work az the Caucuses.
The general Democratic and Republican
caucuses we're held last evening. At the
Democratic caucus Albert H. Walker. a
former Republican, was nominated for
speaker. The caucus adopted a resolution
declaring against any compromise on the
governorship and insisting on the seating
Of Luzon B. Morris. Isaac Wolf was nomi-
mated for clerk and James Fitzgerald for
assistant clerk. The Republican caucus
unanimously, and by acclamation, nomi-
mated Allen w. Paige for speaker. Samuel
A. Eddy WAS nominated for clerk and An
drew 4. Gates for assistant clerk. The Re
publican caucus nominated II. A. Shum-
way for president pro tenn.

Of Livingston. The members then began
drawing for seats. Speaker Sheehan said
that by reason Of his long service Mr.
Hustled was entitled by precedence to select
his seat in advance Mr. Hustled said he
deeply appreciated the graceful compli-
ment. He would naturally prefer the seat
he had so long occupied on the floor, but
he understood that the Democrats wished
to occupy the right side OF the chamber,
therefore he would take Mr.. Sheehan's old
seat On motion Messrs Acker, Blumen-

also allowed to choose their seats in adj

Governor HilIs Message.
Governor Hills message, after congratu-
lating the Democrats on their victory, asks
for an enumeration Of the state Sin con
formity with the express requirements OF
the constitution" The governor attacks
the federal census, and says that it has been
quite clearly demonstrated 100000 people
were overlooked in New York city. He be-
lieyes the present apportionment OF the
state is very defective and that nearly one
fourth Of "theinhabitants Of the state have
been denied just representation by the leg
islature's persistent refusal to authorize a
+. =
alton under state authority is demanded,
and that the legislature should provide for
it. Existing excise laws should also be re-
vised, and the submission of the prohibit
tion amendment provided for The cleo
tion should not be a special one, as it will
cost the state S629 0O0 He regrets the pres
ent agricultural depression in the state,
and recommends legislation favorable to
the farmers. Personal property should be
taxed mora heavily than at present.
The governor recommends at length the
improvement Of country roads; legislation
providing for rapid transit in New York;
compulsory arbitration of labor troubles,
and the restriction Of the employment OF
armed private detectives during strikes.
He renews his recommendation that con-
tested election cases be decided by the
courts and not by the legislature, and
favors suitable appropriations for the
proper representation Of New York at the
Worlds fair. He also recommends the
holding at once of constitutional con
vention; a compulsory voting law; an
amendment to the weekly payment law
making it applicable to steam surface rail-
roads, and special state labor commits
sion. In conclusion he denounces the

PEORIA Herald: So many times We are re-
minded of the fact that republican news
paper can take the cake for unparalleled
cheek. A Chicago paper OF the republican
variety says that Illinois republicans offer
ct the F n. "A. practical farmer, while
the democrats offer practical and pro-
fessional politician for United States
senator. They can take their choice"
If Dick OglesbY is practica farmer then
Lord Scuily. Of England is also practical
farmer. Oglesby's wife owns q township
or two OF land in Logan county and so
does Lord Scully. Neither of them ever
pretended 10 lay a hand toward the culti-
walton of their land, so they are exactl Y
on the par with each other. We suppose
if Lord Scully was to come over here and
be naturalized the republican legsl alive
caucus would soon put him up for L ,ited
State senator, claiming him as pract ical
farmer.

HERE does not seem to be any reason
why the government os Italy should be
disturbed by the fact that 213, 900 Italians
emigrated from that country last year.
AT least one-third of the people of Italy
live in state of the most abiect poverty
in which they have been sunk for eener-
atoms. These squalid 1t alians have no
hope OF improving their condition as long
as they stay in their native country. and
they know that their children have no
prospect of betterment there. The best
thing they can do, under the circuu-
stances, is to leave Italy and try to find
homes in some other part OF the world.
Great bodies of them have gone to Brazil
and Venezuela. where, according to all
reports they enjoy measu re of prosper.
ity that they never before dreamed of,
and other large bodies of them have come
to the United States where they are far
better of than they ever were in Italy.
There is no doubt that Italy can spare
several millions of her population with
out detriment to her interests.

Of the channels shot by me that we were

ers are competent to judge of the bust
ness Of railroad better than the man
ayers of that railroad. There is no
doubt that re; toration of what was
know as the Atlantic accomm odation
would be of great benefit TO the travelling
public all the way from Davenport TO its
western limit. But General Manager
ST. John says that this train was with
drawn because it did not pay the expen-
ses of operating it. This action of the
state board indicates the assumption of
a new power, because if one railroad can
be orderei to put on more trains the
same order applies to all other railroads
