two years. age by Secretary Porter for
S115. The legislature at that time refused
to pay the entire bill and the merchant
would rot accept a part. Consequently the
bill was again placed before the legislature
this year The paper was delivered and
has been in use in the state house ever
since and there is enough here to last two
years more.
"As for the $3.50 for varnish, all the facts

for the varnish, but for burning the old
varnish of Of the chairs and furniture OF

several Of the rooms. The S555 paid the
entire bill"
Secretary Marsh explains the fact that
he certified to the bill for the carpet. be-
cause probably it was brought to him in
a hurry and in the rush Of that and other
business he attached his signature, without
closely examining the bill.
AS proof that the quality of carpets sold

State through tho secretary Of state is
genuine and what was represented, the
Hardy people today had other carpet men

Legislative Gossip.

S. F. 1875, providing that fees in certain
eases should be pai1 to the commissioner
Of public lands and buildings, is in the
hands of the governor, but so far has not
been signed. The bill is clearly -uncon-
stitutional and it is safe to say that the
signature of the governor will not be at
tached to it,. The constitution provides
that no state officer exceIt the state treas
ureT shall receive fees for any purpose.
As this bill provides for fees to be paid
into the office of the land commissioner for
filing certain papers, it is contrary to the
provisions of the constitution. Governor
Mickey will not say whether he will sign
the bill but it. is known that he is very
much in favor of a bill Of this character.
1t is probable that after yetOlng this bill
he. will recommend a bin Of a similar ma
ture with changes that will make 1t con-
form TO the constitution.
