of Senator Ransom's stainless honor and

Senator Ransom is SO years old, and

THE LEGISLATIVE MILL.

A side light which flashed up suddenly
on the legislative horizon and caused a
tremor Of excitement was the charge OF
the special railroad committee that the
railroad commissioners had been derelict
in enforcing the laws. 1t brought a re-
tort from the chairman OF the railroad
board in defense Of the commissioners,
and also the inprecations OF 'Old Conk'
upon several members OF the committee
making the report. But the latter by
their temerity in showing up dereliction
in officers got their party into a worse
hole than when the free silver. resolution
was sprung. The committee were all re-
publicans and the pops jumped at the
charge OF m~a!feasance in Office and In.
troduced a resolution to investigate the
case. This was more than the commit
tee bargained for and now the republi-
cans in the legislature will either nave
to order an investigation or stultlfy
themselves by voting down the pop reso-
luton and winking at misdemeanor in
office.
The house has reported favorably a
bill creating a commission to revise the
statutes and also passed the bill giving
county courts jurisdiction in smaller
civil and criminal cases.
The bill providing for a two-mill de-
f~iciency tax has passed both houses and
become a law. This will raise $250,OOO
to pay of the 100000 of funding war
rants left unpaid by the Taylor defalca-
ton and meet other deficiencies in the
state treasury.
The senate has also passed the bill
authorizing the issuing OF $4,000 ten
year. 5 per cent bonds, to reimburse the
school fund for the Taylor steal. Public
Examiner Myers has reported that he
has found the books and accounts OF the
auditor and treasurer correct.
