the bill governing building and loan
associations and it is ready for the sig
nature of the governor.
The conference committees of the two
houses on ways and means have decided
to radically amend the present law in
regard to the equalization Of assess
ments. They have agreed to strike out
the reference to the state board
of equalization, and the execu-
tive council, when acting in that
capacity, is 30 be known as the
state board OF review. Its duties are to
review and adjust the assessments re-
ported from the various counties. 1t is
not to equalize as between the counties,
but is to see to it that the assessment of
each county is put up to the standard as
adopted by the legislature. County SUI
pervisors and trustees and councils in
cities are to act in similar capacity in
regard to the assessments now coming
under their jurisdiction. The two
houses are still at loggerheads over the
basis of assessment. The house is de-
termined that the basis shall be tho cash
value, and the senate wants IL fixed at
30 per cent of the actual value.

railway companies and require them to
give the people suitable service. Chap
ter z, from which the provisions for an
injunction have been stricken, has to
deal with the transportation of passen-
gers and freight, and it is independent
of the preceding chapter entirely, so
that according to his theory, the penal
ties provided for in chapter cannot by
any sort of logic, be considered as hav-
provisions of chapter Z.

The committees on appropriations of
the two houses finished the work of pas
ing upon the bills asking for appropria-
lions for the various state institutions
last week. The plan that has been fol-
lowed was to hold joint meetings Of
these committees for the purpose of Civ
ing a hearing to the representatives Of
the institutions, and then each commit
tee considered the bills and passed upon
them separately. When this work was
finished, conference committees were
appointed representing the committees
of each house and they met and COM
pared the various allowances for the pur,
pose Of asbeeing upon the amounts so
that the same results should be reported
TO each house.
The following table shows the amount
that was asked by the bills presented by
the institutions, the amount allowed by
the senate committee and the amount
that the house committee allowed.

The Liquor Bill.
The consideration of the bill permit
ting the manufacture and sale at whole
sale of intoxicating liquors in the state
has been set for special order in the SEN
ate today. This bill is the one that was
originally introduced by Senator Ellis,
with tho amendments suggested by the
committee on suppression of intemper-
ance. It requires that petition of con-
sent, signed by 60 per cent of the voters
who voted at the last general election,
shall be procured, and then the city
councils ih cities Of 5000 population or
over, or the boards Of supervisors in case
the petition is circulated in counties out.

gallons, or an eighth of a barrel,

and not less than one dozen quarts of
vinuous liquors. No liquors are to be
drank on the premises where manufac-
tured, and any violation Of the provis-
ions Of the act are to subject the violator
to the penalties of the present prohibi-
tory law. The suficisncy Of the petit

the city council in the case Of city,
and by tho board of supervisors in case
the manufacture is proposed to be in the

another TO any such petitions is punish
able as forgery, and the laws relative to
bribery are made applicable to any at

The friends Of the measure say they
believe that the bill will receive a ma
jority in the senate, but it is admitted
by all that 1t will be very close.
The house has passed resolution not
to adjourn until the work of code re-
vision has been completed.
A resolution was filed in the senate
for an adjournment from April until
the second Tuesday in January, 1897, to
complete the code.

governing primary elections after it had
been passed by the senate, and the SEN

New York's crack orators, ard none or
them has the presence, or the manner
or the voice to equal Bryan's- Bourke
Cochran, who is TO answer Bryan next
| week, used to debate with him when
| they were both members of the house,
and sopfistical as the arguments Of both
often were, Bryan Enthusiastically scored
the immediate success.
II Bryan had taken his own advice
instead of that of the managers. and
have done what Cochran will undoubt-
ed1y do, and what he himself always did
before, memorizing his speech and de-
nvering it without notes, even his folly
of speaking at every stopping place from
Lincoln to PittsDurg would not have
prevented him from capturing his au-
dience. Nevertheless, the astute old
politicians, some of them old enough to
be Bryan's father. are on the whole
right in thinking that he is an impulsive
young man. who needs to be restrained
and guided. In carrying out their de-
termination outlined in my letter last
week to keep him from speaking in
Maine before the state election, and in
sisting that their principle campaign
work should be done from Washington
though not for the absurd reason given
by the New York papers that this is
the only place where the congressional
franks for speeches and documents,
good at every postoffice in the coun try,
can be issued-they showed their su-
perior practical wisdom, and they will
nave to KEEP on advising their candidate
in much the same fashion. for he is not
a practical man either in politics or IN
business matters, but "a Their what prac-
teal men call a sentfmen talist. and if
elected would have to be managed in just
the same way in the White House.
If Speaker Reed had bee nominated
by the Republicans we should have had
another independent man in the White
House to follow President Cleveland;
but, as 1T is, whatev candidate is elect
ed he will be more or less in the hands
of his friends. the managers. 1t does
not seem likely that Bryan would break
away from the managers of his cam
paign as Cleveland broke away from
Senator German and Others who man.
aged the campaign Of 1884, or that Nc
kinely would break away from Mana
ger Hanna as Harrison broke away
from Manager Quay.
