Although re-submission was de-
feated in the house after hard
and fairly fought contest, it has
not yet been disposed of. Two
propositions are still before the
Legislature. The first by Schamber,
proposes that constitutional
amendment shall be submitted to
the people at the general election
in 1894, proposing that re-sub-
mission of the prohibition article
shall be submitted at the general
election in April, 1895. That is, it
leaves it to the people to say
whether or not the re-submission
question shall be voted on again.
This comes from the re-submis-
sionists and is evidence that they
have abandoned all hope of secur-
ing re-submission, pure and simple,
at this session.
The other proposition comes
from Mr.. Hooper, one of the pro
hibition leaders. 1t proposes
constitutional amendment to be
submitted to the electors at the
general election in 1894, providing
that any future Legislature may
submit the prohibition article of
the constitution at special cleo
ton, at which special election all
persons, citizens of the United
State, more than 21 years of age
shall be permitted to vote. That
is the question shall be determined
upon an equal suffrage basis. In
my Judgment something like the
Schamber bill will pass before the
legislature closes, several prohibi- |.
tionists in both branches being
openly favorable to it.
The senate has agreed on a
worlds fair bill carrying an appro-
priation of. S63, 900, of which some
$4,000 is set apart for the womens'
board. This bill will doubtless
find favor in the house.
In line with the retrenchment
