In the Senate yesterday, as soon as the
standing committees had been appointed,
q perfect avalanche of bills descended
upon the Clerks desk. The mum ber
ran up to 2O9 in the first round. They
were upon every conceivable subject,
from the granting of the suffrage to
women to the appropriation of money to
a Sheriff for expenses in capturing a
prisoner. They were all promptly re-
ferred to appropriate committees, where,
it is to be hoped, many of them will
slumber for all time.
In the Assembly the rules have not yet
been adopted, nor the standing commit
tees appointed, so a very short session
was held. One rule was adopted, which,
If adhered to, will very materially ad-
vance the work of the session. 1t pro-
vided for morning sessions only OF the
Assembly each day, thus giving the COM
mittees a chance to properly consider
bills before they come up tor discussion
In the House. In the paSG more tluue
has been wasted in fruitless discussion
on bills that have had to go back to COM
mittee for amendment than in the actual
transaction of the legitimate business of
the Senate or Assembly. The real work
of the Legislature should be done in the
committee room, and the Assembly has
hit upon the best possible plan for expe-
diting it's business.
