The chair called attention to the fact
that house bill No. 5 for IAN act to
regulate fees to be charged by certain
county officers for services was I'D for

Senator Warner moved the bill be
read third time and placed on it's final

CritchloWS motion to amend was still
pending. but he declined to put it and
ruled that Critchlows motion to COM

pose of passing the memorial, was not

were not suspended, in the face of the
fact that upon 2 tWo-thfrdS vote by roll

the situation, the Democrats because
they knew the Republicans would have
their way anyway, and the Republicans
because they had gained their point not
withstanding the absurdity of the pro-

ton to commit. OF course it carried, the
pretext being that there were several
inconsistent passages in the memorial
which needed amending.

LAND MONOPOLY.

The land monopoly of this country
has done the farmer an injury that
cannot be computed. When the cattle
business was at it's height, it enabled a
gang of royal Europeans and American
gentlemen" to compete with the cat

worked hard to develop. Twenty nine

and there are thirty Americans or
American syndicates that own each

have no hesitancy in saying that this
land should be made improbable to
the owners by some system of taxation,
and foreign landlordism should not be
permitted to fnd basis or encourage
