upon the good sense and judgment of the
| people be represented.
| Mr.. Wrightsman suggested that Mr.
regan lacked the stamina to put himself
| on record as coBdemning such attacks by
voting for his resolution.
| Mr.. Fegaa thought the best exhibition
| of stamina on the part of the gentleman
! would be to make a personal appearance
in the editorial room Of the offender, with
demand for satisfaction. Laughter.l
Mr.. Pitman agreed with Mr.. Wrignts-
| man rs to the character of the newspap per
making the attack TIE editors attacks
were simply evidence that he had not been
| seen" This was a fact well understood
| in the community in which the editor
| lives. Praise from him was, in the minds
| of respectable people, really utter con-
| demnation, and reproach u certificate OF
| good character.
Mr.. Mccartney attributed Mr. Wrights-
mans heat in the matter TO his youth.
He thought that by the time a few years
more of experience had got in its perfect
work on him he would be much less sensi-
tive to such attacks as the one complain
cd Of
Pending consideration Of the resolution,
on motion OF Mr.. Wrightsman the house
adjourned till 2 o'clock p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The council reconvened at IittIsr after
2 o'clock.
Mr.. Fegaa moved to lay Mr. Wrights-
mans resolution on the table, subject to
call
The clerk then read a message from the
house transmitting council bill SO and
joint resolution No. !. The bill bears the
signature of the governor.
Mr.. Pitman stated that some mistake
had been made by which the bill had come
into the possession Of the house after the
signature of the governor had been affixed.
He explained the proper course OF BILL
and said that it was not the one this had
taken.
This opened up some discussion of the
matter. concerning which there seemed to
be considerable difference of opinion. The
bil provides for an extension Of time for
the payment Of taxes, fixing the first
Monday in April instead OF the same day
in February rs the time when taxes shall
become delinquent

the governor for his approval.

the committee on judiciary to report on
the bill providing additional offices for the

draw council bill No. 81 from the commit. |
tee on judiciary, for the purpose Of amend |
Ing it. Granted.

alton Of the special order for o'clock, the |
COMMITTEES on Judiciary reported, recon-
mending the passage OF bill No, % over |
the governors voto.
Council bill No. 81, being the substitute |
for council bill No. 45, was then read a
third time This amends the acts relating |
to fees of sheriffs The council then went |
into committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of the bill, with Mr.. Wrights-
man IN the chair.
Mr. Pitman said that he was in favor of
giving good fair salaries TO the sheriffs,
but was not yet ready to give them quit
claim deed to the whole country. He
thought the bill SO important that close
should be given il.
Mr.. Ross favored the bill as it stands.
He thought n comparison of fees with
those of any other states would show in
favor of those of this territory. He ven
Jured to say that sheriff in Oklahoma
did more work for the amount of pay re-
ceived than did those of any state,
After a comparison with the Kansas fee
bill, they were found not to vary much.
The principal difference of opinion was
over section l, which related to that por-
lion fixing the price for boarding prison
ars.
Mr.. Carswell favored leaving the price
10 be fixed by the county commissioners.
