Legislative.

The Legislature has finished the
reenactment Of the old laws and is
now down to such new business as
it sees fit to consider. The repub-
licans and populists seem to be
working together in harmonious
union in the senate and the silver
republicans and democrats are ia
the same happy condition in the
house. The only difference seems
to be that the first named union
ems to be unsatisfactory to large
numbers of populists and republic
cans outside of the legislature.
John h. Sovereign, the brains of
the populist party in Iiah), is out
in his paper, the State Tribune,
with threat to play quits with the
populists on account of the fusion,
while many influential republicans
think the party has been weakened
by a fusion deal-a policy so
thoroughly denounced by all their
speakers and organs in the last
campaign. But whatever the effect
of these unions" on parties, the
HERALD believes that good will
come out of them to the people.
1t insures the defeat of any radical
legislation, as one house will be a
check on the other, and radicalism
is to be feared in modern legis-
latures.
No new legislation of particular
interest to this section of the state
has yet been proposed.
A bill that will attract wide at
tention, the salary bill, is soon to
come up. Senator Bulge, Nor,
mon republican from Bear Lake, is
preparing a bill along the lines OF
which legislation upon this subject
will likely follow, 1t is clcimed
that this proposed bill will effect a
saving of from $4,000 to $4,000 in
each county. The bill contemplate
es classifying the counties accord
ing to taxable wealth. Then fxin ,
minimum and miximum salary
for each class, leaving to the coun
ty commissioners some discretion
in the matter. The law is not to
go into effect until after the next
general election. This Is an admir-
able provision, as, to make it apply
to present officials, would be to in
sure such a lobby at Boise as NIGH
insure the defeat of a fair and equit
able bill.
