THE TIMEs-R1CHMoND vA SATURDAY. FEBRUARY % 1896

The repeal Of the hill was only an act Of
Justice to "A hard-working class OF state
officials. who were probably the worst
paid of any in the Commonwealth. They
denied that any other motive actuated
:hem. and claimed that the sheriffs had
"A perfect right to come TO the city to
,resent petition or state their side Of
he question: right that other people
always exercised when their interests
were involved.
The measure was finally passed by n
vote of 20 to 2. Two bills, in regard to
the same subject. introduced by Mr.. Boy
kin. were then passed. one Is exactly
similar TO the Vale bill while the other
measure reduces the sherin's fee for
bringing prisoners TO the penitenuary
from 50 to 81 per day.

be again offered for SALE and that any

If the Carey irrigation law can
be so amended that the states, ac-
cepting the gift of 100000 acres
of irrigable land from the United
States, can borrow money upon
this land for the construction of
irrigating canals the whole scheme
will become Operative and success
full. As the law now stands the
states get title only when this
land has been reclaimed and set
tied. There seems considerable
prospect that the law will be
amended.
