Legislative D0ings

Senator Boykin introduced a bin
which, unGer suspension Of the
rules, was placed upon The caIen-
dar, entitled "A bill to repeal an
act to provide for the transporta-
ton of convicts to the penitentiary
&c" This bill. which IS sought to
be repealed. was passed on January
Goth, last, and provides that guards
from the penitentiary shall be sent
after convicts, instead Of allowing
the sheriffs Of counties to bring
them and collect fees, as hereto
fore. The association Of sheriffs
showed such strength against this
bill as to cause the senate to vote
to repeal The act. This item of ex-
pense amounts to $4,000 Or $1,000
year. "A cut in the sberifff's pay
in conveying prisoners to Rich
mond WAS made.
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Buchanan, and adopted, providing
that superintendent of lunatic
asylums be instructed 10 send for
the lunatics now confined in the
county jails. He stated that the
keeping of demented persons in
jailS last wear cost the state Sl6.-
O00 and that the reports showed
that there was plenty Of room in
the asylnms.
The senate has concurrrd in the
House resolution providing that the
session be extended for three days
in order to give time to complete
legislation already enacted, but no
legislation is to be enacted after
tonight.
The senate. after an hours de-
bate, passed the Parker election
bin. 1t was opposed by Senators
Flanagan and Hale, and support
ed by Senators Little and Flood.
A bin has passed both houses al
ding $4,000 to the appropriation
for the Soldiers Home. This will
relieve the home Of the necessity
Of dismissing any inmate.
The senate bill to submit the
question of holding constitution
ii convention to a vote Of the peo-
pie passed the House by a vote of
50 to Is.

IF Congress doesn't want for
eign war it should indulge in less
war talk. The Cuban resolution
adopted by the Senate, declaring in
favor of recognition Of the belliger-
ency of the Cubans and requesting
the President to use his good offices
towards procuring recognition Of
the independence Of Cuba, was Of
Itself right enough. and certainly
represents the overwhelming senti-
nent of Congress, and probably Of
the country, but there were threats
implied and spoken in some Of the
speeches made in the Senate that
were entirely needless. It may be-
set down as certain that if the
United States goes to war il behalf
Of Cuba it will not be with Spain
alone that we shall have to fight.
1t has been its secret treaties with
other European nations which
have enabled Spain to retain its
hold upon Cuba through other rev.
Olutions on the island. But altho
this fact is well known it is proba-
bic that when the House takes up
the question this week, an attempt |
will be made to outjingo the speech
es made in the Senate before the
resolution is finally adopted.

Cannot Recognize Cuba.

President Cleveland, according
to the Washington Post. cannot
now recognize Cuba, as he is Of the
opinion that recognition of bel
