Election and LIQUOR.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 2i-The Lcgis-
lature is making good progress with its
work, and the members seem imbuod
with the idea OF tolling faithfully every
day until their arduous labors are
over.
The sessions will certainly last until
about December 20th, and il IL DOS
sible, though hardly probable, that the
body will return here after Christmas.
Perhaps the most interesting mat
ters pending are those I'm relation to the
liquor question and elections, and it Is
evident that there will be some changes
in the status OF the present law as to
both.
The Mann liquor law is almost GER
tain to be amended along the line suo-
gested in the bill offered in the Senate
10y Mr.. Bruce, OF Wise, the. effect OF
which will be to practically break up
clubs recently chartered 10y the State
Corporation Commission.
AS TO ELECTIONS.
Matters relating TO changes in the
election laws, pending before the Legis-
lature, are full Of public interest. 1t
looks HOW rs II the solution of the con-
troveIsy over amending or repeating
the Barksdale pure elections bill has
been offered by Mr.. Leake, of Gooch-
land, who proposes an amendment re.
curing the courts TO order Special
Grand Jury Investigations after al
elections, both primary and general
and in the event OF its passage. which
now seems assured, Mr. Folkcs will
withdraw his bill repeating the Barks-
dale measure.
