A DAY OF M0A0TOAY
Senate Work of the Fag Erd
of a Weeks Pu iiness.

About the only thing that stirs the Re
publican Senator to eloquence these
days is the appointment of magistrates.
He is interested, in languid sort of
way in constitutional amendments. sep
arate car laws, antitrust bills and in
passive silence and see Big Tom Riley
made justice of the peace in Lower
Little Hollow Poplar or Jobs Cabin
township is too much for his philosop by.
And he is called on to stand good
deal of that sort of thing. Every day a
number of new justices are breveted,
and it was decided in the Senate yester-
day to arrange a capacious omnibus bill
that shall carry all those appointed here
after. According to precedent it should
create much debate by the minority
when it comes before the upper branch
The proposed appointed of a mag
istrate in Wilkes county was the occa-
sion of the only lull in the whirr of
legislative machinery in the Senate yes
terday. A petition had been sent up
for the appointment of one man and
Senator Cainpneii tl,epublcan) wanted
another appointed. Senator Campbell

was a staunch Democrat, but they were
disposed to look the wooden horse on
the insides, and did not hearken to
Senator Campbell's reasons.
