for it gave the rich man an opportunity
TO squeeze the poor man in an action
by giving the former the privilege of
subpoenaing a host of witnesses. c.
Brown moved that the pay of witnesses
apply only to civil causes, saying that
it was not the custom anywhere to pay

GROCERY BAR BILL
Senator crabbe. upon a suspension of
the rules, caused Senate Bill So, relat-
ing to sale of ales. wines. and liquors,
to be taken UP from the table. Crabbe
wanted the bill to pass, as it would |
provide revenue for the Territory.
Crabbe moved it pass second reading. |
There We're objections from all sides to |
the passage of the bill Dickey ex-
planned that the report was to the
effect that only two grocery establish
nnents in the Territory would be bene-
ited, and this was class legislation"
Baldwin spoke against the bill. He
thought the bill should go back to the
liable. Crabbe urged that this bin be
given some favor, and proposed that
he license be raised. Further CON
'ideration OF the bin was deferred until
he third reading of bill 81 An amend
nent was passed to make the license
i 900.
The second reading of the bill was
inally deferred. to be later taken up
With 81.
COUNTY BILL CONSIDERED.
Upon converting for the evening ses-
ion to discuss the county bin on third
eading the Senators called for a gem
raj relaxation of rules, and soon the
hamber was filled with tobacco smoke,
oats were removed, and one Senator
assed around a paper bag filled with
uts, apd every one settled down to an
vening's ease. Secretary Savidge wore
N uneasy countenance as he placed
he voluminous document of 3O7 pages
pom the desk. II
One Of the changes noted in the third
eading was the absence from the bin
f the right of the county to make |
ounty bonds, which was the recon-
lendation of the committee.
AS to the terms of service of the
supervisors, McCandless and Aehi {
anted a new set of Supervisors at each
lection. Baldwin and Crabbe favored
ections so that at each election there j
-ould be old Supervisors in office. i
rabbe did not favor clean sweep at
ach election, as it would put in new
len who were unused to the positions.
he Senate finally voted to elect new t
Ulcers every two years.
About one-third of the bin was read
,1rine the session. with few changes. I
