bills OF fMPoRrANCE.

Several Interesting Measures
ShoW Up in the House.
Several bills were introduced in the
house yesterday which will offer occa-
SIGN for lengthy and acrimonious debate
in committee; and if they reach the
house there will be fun on the floor and
full galleries. The bills to regulate the
WarehOuSlng and handling Of grain, by
Mir. Greer; to abolish all contract work
in the state prison at Saltwater, by Mir,
Langum; and to increase the maximum
liability for loss Of life, by Mr.. Walsh.
may be mentioned as three measures
that are reasonably certain to be sub
iectS for great efforts by orators. and
perhaps by lobbyists. Mr.. Cairns pri-
mary election law contains some pro-
visions that will meet with opposition.
Possibly the same may be said of Mr..
WalSh'S bill to compel the street rail
way company to provide the motOneerS
with protection from the bitter weather
Of December, January, February and
March.
Representative S. A. Langum, of Fill
more, who was deputy warden at Still
water during the wardenship of MIR.
Randall, is the author of the bill to
abolish contract labor in the state prison.
