were a screaming farce, but the principal actors
went through their parts as IL e~nacting heavy

question seriously considered by the Republican
managers. who held a conference before tho

1t was arranged to let Mr.. Loud's bill, to regu-
late second-class postal rates, hold the floor as
the least obnoxious measure on the calendar.
and with this understanding on their part they
repaired to the hall. At almost the first pop Of
the legislative gun the proceedings took a turn
which relieved the managers of all further anx-
iety. except to keep them going. =.

man had n varicosc vein in one leg"
All this was discounted by the statement
Of Paul Farrell. tho night clerk of the

ALBANY. Feb. 1O.-Assemblyman Bondy Of
Syracuse will introduce next week a bill pro-
viding for the issue of licenses to sell ale. beer.
and light wines OF about one-fourth the
rates for regular licenses under the
Raines law. He and Senator White Of
Syracuse have had the bill in contemplation for
some time, and have only been awaiting the APP
prevail of Gov. Black. This, 1t was said to-day.
had been promised in case the bill can be
put through. There is an excellent chance
of its passing the Assembly with the
aid Of Democratic votes. but in the Senate it
will run up against q snag. Senator Raines
will hight 1t tooth and nail, and SO will most Of
tho up-country Republicans.
1t must be remembered that tho Senate Is tho
same as that which passed the original Raines
law, and the proposition contained in the Bondy
bill was rejected at that time, although Bondy
and Senator White urged it as strenuously then
as now. Mr.. Bondy introduced q similar bill
two years ago. just after the Raines bill
position IL R,,na the WAS Senate .s , pnasr the The
bill through the Assembly. So the bill WAS
dropped and was never heard OF after its intro
At that time it was urged. as 1t will be urged
now, that such u law would induce many saloon
keepers to take out the lower priced licenses
and then go ahead and sell the same class of
liquors that they do now. The impossibility of
ton OF the "speak-easy" plan was considered
an insurmountable barrier.
Although Messrs. Bondy and White think tho
Governor would be with them in the proposed
law, 1t may safely be said that they Will not un-
dertake to do anything without consulting the
party leaders throughout the State.
There will be no attempt to make the bill n
party measure. All that its hackers hope for is
to prevent the party from opposing the bill AS a
whole. They will then be content to free lance
1t through the Assembly with Republican and
Democratic votes. and trust to luck in the Sen
afn
