BY THE SENATE EMPLOiLs.

Governor-s~nator Stubs VANS tho
Graduates to Practice.

The incidents of the Senate session yes
terday morning were indicative OF the
end OF the Legislature, which, after the
passage OF the Walton election bill and
the West Virginia resolution, had little
left to occupy its attention.
During the morning hour Senator Jones
had the privilege of the floor to perform
a pleasant duty, and after referring in
an appropriate way to the kindly and
cordial feeling which seemed to exist
between every one at the close Of the
session, presented Dr. Pendleton' clerk of
the Senate, with a beautltui initial set
OF a dozen sterling silver spoons. inclOsed
in an elegant silk-lined velvet case. lie
paid a wcll-deseryed tribute To the faithful
and carful service rendered py the popular
clerk, and assured him or the esteem IN
which he was held by the employees OF
the Senate. who desired TO express their
appreciation in this way. Inc contributors
TO the present were the various clerks,
the pages, the dOorkeeper' ana lhe Jdnltor.
DIR. Peudleton replied with ili-concealcd
emotion TO the kind words Of the senator.
and accepted the memento in terms or
the strongest gratitude and appreciation,
and in doing so referred in the most cor
dial and affectionate way to the senators,
his fellow-employes, and the newspaper
reporters who have worked early and
late. even unto the we sma' hours, TO give
the public an idea I'm a condensed form
of the work that has been done here.
Then. before the close of the morning
session. the Senate adopted unanimously
a resolution offered by Mr.. Lovenstein,
THAT the thanks Of the body are cordial
~ extended to Hon. Robert {. Kent
President Of the Senate for his unWaVer-
ins and uniform courtesy to all senators
during this session.
Mr.. Kent made A suitable and feeling
response. which he closed with the hope
that he would meet every senator IN the
same seat two years hence.
At the opening Of the session Senator
Hurt moved to take up the Nlcol state
bank bill. which provides for the organiza-
ton of State banks of circulation when the
10 per cent. tax shall have been repealed.
The bill was taken up and passed with
out being read, and ordered to be COM
municated to the House. When this tact
dawned upon the Senate surprise was eN-
pressed that so important measure had
been rushed through its body at railroad
speed. The proceeding was entirely resu-
lar. however, and no further action was
taken.
Senator Hurt introduced a bill to repeal
the act passed at this session taxing
building and loan associations. Mr.. Hurt
claimed that under the recent tax the
building and loan companies would not
pay as much as they had in the past.
Mr.. Lovenstein said that these COM
panies did not pay anything at all.

this.
