SENATOR NICHOLS has introduced in
the Senate resolution requiring all To-
cal bills to be published in two papers
of opposite politics in the locality to
which they apply, and that the publish
ers' affidavit of publication shall be filed
before their passage, the notice to be
paid for by those desiring the passage
of the bill. This is intended to prevent
local legislation sliding through without
the people knowing of it. This Legis-
lature has started out well as regards
local legislation, and the people will be
made well acquainted with any local
bill that stands any show of passing.

of Governor Campbell. If
the institution is going to be run in the
interest of the Democracy, the Republi-
can Legislature would do well to cut off
the appropriations.
