LEGISLATURE DOINGS.
Regular Weekly Letter from 8 Our Spccia1C correspondent.
'pecial to THE TnIBuNE

The session of the B General Assembly has barely gotten into working condition, but even thus far it has not been without inter- est. The speakership fight has been one of the sure things of the session for the past sixty days, and the gentleman from Wash # ington, MT. Humphreys, merely went through the motions of fore- closing his s'cinch." He is a splendid young gentleman, pos z sessing every qualification of a P model presiding officer.
 S The president of the senate, E Hon. R. J. Wilson, an timer of the legislature, is also a resi- dent of Washington county. On SF the principle that the great hon. { ors should be distributed, the se- @ lection of the speaker and pres g& ident of the senate from the same o 7unty looks little unfair, but r the best judgement or at least the Judgement the majority saw fit to select them, and no one will eFS object if their positions are used Y for the public benefit. These gentlemen came from a section of the state that is parti cularly close to the pie counter. North Ark ansas Sis it.o In fact, that sec- ton of the state appears to be TT.
 In addition to the president of the senate and speaker of the house. they landed an assistant secretary of the senate, clerk s of judiciary committee (senate) and in tPe house journal clerk and assistant, the chaplain, a { janitor, enrolling clerk and a half dozen other positions of less inn portance.
 Rev. F. R. Noe is wise in his generation. He is a thorough student of character, and sizes the house up as being largely composed of members who are partial to short prayers. Brother Noe is one of the noble army of martyrs who has been trying to eke out an existence on an Ozark circuit, and no one ever heard him complain There is no need to say more of him, other than he is an excellent Christian gentle man.
 FIRST BILLS.
 The .first bill introduced in either branch of the general as- sembly was bill having a ten dency to ease the minds and re- plenish the pocketbooks of the members. It appropriated a hundred thousand to defray the expenses of the session, salaries per diem, etc. Senate Bill No. 2 is the ''fellow servant bill, which created so much confusion two years ago. The bill was intro duced by Senator Lawrence, and we predict that it will be the greatest proposition before the general assembly. Both sides are lined up for fight, and both sides appear confident of victory in the wind up. In order that every reader of THE TRIBUNE may understand exactly the provisions of the bill we submit it in full:
 sBei enacted etc.
 Section 1. That any person, company or corporation owning or operating a railroad in this state Transporting freight and passengers for hire) shall be lia- ble for the death or injury of any employe caused by the negligence, of any other agent, servant or, employe of such person, company or corporation owning or oper- ating such railroad.
 Sec. 2. This act shall take effect on and after it's passage" Watch for fight on the "fel- low servants" bill for it is surely coming.
