THE LEtsISLATUHsEI.

The members of the General
Assembly will hardly be homo by
tho 1st Of March. The recent rains
keep the farmers at homo from
plowlng, SO the farmers in the
legislature need not be in Il hurry
to get back home and the other
members can surely stand Colum-
bia life until the weather promises
to be fair and warm. To an aver
age citizen there secms to be
good deal of rod tapc about legis-
lativc proceedings, and parliament
tary tactics appears to DO an ex-
pensivo mode Of scoring q point.
Such arc however tho conditions,
which confront the legislator and
his bills have to tako regulation
steps, so he can not always explain
satisfactorily to his constituents
the apparent delay in winding up
business and stopping the cxpon-
sive machine of making laws.
A man cannot always havo his way
about things and tho hopeful new
member soon finds this to DO tho
case in legislative affairs and soon
becomes reconciled to the inevita-
bic, confronting himself with the
slow pace of developing crude
idoas into laws, tit to stand the
test of judicial investigation.
The JOURNAL has no criticism to
make on tho work of tho General
Assembly, it takes time to do a
good job and tho people should
not have any other palm off on
them.
The most important bills of the
sessions are still to be considered
and no mistake should be made
about them. They affect the peo.
pies pocket book and will surely
interest them. These are tho bills
embodying the recommendation
of Governor Ellerbe upon tn
means of meeting the dolicienc
ill the supply bill and wore pre-
sented by the committed on wa
and means. They aro known q
tho administration income tu,
and graduated liccnse tax on occr
patrons, and graduated license ia
on corporations. Tt predicted thf
these bills will bring on b
fight. There is only ono way O,
of the trouble if these bills a
not passed, and that is to redu,
the expenses of the govornmon
go that the levy will rasio mono
enough to meet them. 1t mig]
not be bad idea to cut down oxpe
ses some anyway, the non Off
holding taxpayer would hard
object.

LA-.IosiuonU Harrison mas written
of' A Day With the President at His
Desk" for the March Ladies' Homo
journal. The article is said to be
singularly interesting in tho detail
with which it describes the weari-
some routine OF the President. 1t Is
said that General Harrison, in this
article, has delivered himself with di-
rectness and vigor, relative to the
annoyanccs that are visited upon a
Chief Executive by persistent office
seeker, and he suggests an unique
plan by which the Presidents bur
den in that direction could be greatly
lightcned, and he be enabled to de-
vote moro attention to more impor-
tant matters A feature Of the ar
ticle that will have timely interest
to those ambitious to serve .hc coun-
try under the incoming admmstla-
ton, describes very fully how tho
President makes appointments to
Office. "a Day With the President
at His Desk" is unique in being the
first time that the daily life of the
President has been described by one
who has filled the exalted office.
Articles upon the social and domes-
tic life Of the President by General
Iarrison will follow in successive
issues Of the Journal.

THE LICENSE BILL.

The JOURNAL would be pleased
to publish the license bill for the
careful perusal of it's readers,
but time, space and typo are net suf-
ficient for the undertaking. 1t is
interesting to road and study the
many occupations and means Of
making a livelihood III our beloved
State. If q man is out Of lob
and docs not want to work on a
farm, ho certainly can follow
something else and there is hardly
any end to the list he can select
from. Tho only trouble will be
the liconso foe, if the bill gots
through. Ono good result from
the passage of the bill will be that
every man Will have as few irons
in tho fire as possible, as every
time ho puts one in, he will have
to pay for it, besides running tho
risk of getting it burnt. AS ovory
one has to pay to run his business,
he will probably attend to his own
business and let other peoples
alone. Those who have no bust
lless and do not care to have any,
will have good excuse for staying
out and saving the license fee. The
county auditors will have some
work, receiving application for IL
censes, and the county troasurors
will collect the sum provided to
De paid for the licenses.
The occupation of farming does
flot require license, as it is hard

SEATTLE, Nov. I6.-PromptIy at 10
o'clock this morning the revenue cutter
Bear was toWed out of this port by the
tug Defiance. She went to Quarter
masters Harbor and was there placed on
the drydock preparatory to her perilous
cruise to the northern seas in relief of the
ice-imprisoned Whalers.
But she went without her full compile
ment of men, as last night four of her
crew took unceremoniouS leave of the cut
ter. They were a fireman, master of
arms and two sailors. 1t is an open Sc
cret that but few of the sailors relish the
special trip north at this season of the
year. Several have already asked for
their discharge and been refused Other
desertions will undoubtedly follow unless
close watch is kept on the men and
shore leave refused them.
This morning Captain TuttIe was in
structed by the department to secure such
number of sleds as he considers will be
necessary to transport provisions over
land.

CARSON, Nov i6.-It is easy 10 under

bias dIsqualifies me from Judging a Ne
vada boy impartiaily. | admit that no.
where in the world in my opinion, is
there such excellent material-a little
raw, perhaps-for the making of men.
The Nevada boy is unlike any other. He
Is stronger and taller; hi brain is bigger,
his heart is warmer. He may be a Iout at
times, he IS often sadly lacking IN savoir

OF Nevada's duty-her place in the
Union 5 life. There's more money in pro-
ducing men of such nigh grade as the Ne
vada boy might become than in uncover

When news was received a few
days ago that the whaling fleets
off Point Barrow were not suffi-
ciently supplied for the Arctic win
ter, "The Call" at once set about
the task of providing rescue for the
imperiled seamen.
"The CALI was first to publish
the news, first to move for rescue
and first to offer to furnish provi-
sions for a relief ship.
Application was made to the
Government to dispatch a relief
expedition. The officials at Wash.
ingtOn were informed by "The
Call" of the condition of the
whalers, and of plans by which
their rescue could be accom-
plished. The President and mem
bers of his Cabinet were prompt
in response, but for time it was
doubted whether, without an APP
preparation from Congress, the
Government could provision a
relief ship if one were dispatched.
Thereupon The Call" at once
guaranteed to furnish food, cloth
ing and supplies of all kinds for
the eXpeditio at its own expense.
The work thus devised has been
rapidly carried forward. The
Government has assigned the
Bear for the expedition, and is
now swiftly making it ready for
the voyage. "The Call" having
been duly notified by Commander
futile of all that was needed for
the eXpl dition, has furnished
food, furs, clothing and other
supplies to finish the equipment
and perfect the comfort of the
officers and the crew. 1t has also
provided an assistant physician
to accompany the expedition and
aid in the relief work. Finally,
" The Call" has arranged for
