The failure of the Storey Cotton COM
pany in the eastern states last Friday
caught many people in this place in
sums ranging from 500 to $4,000 and
now there is wailing and weeping. The
crash came none too soon and the only
query is how it maintained It's existence
as long as it did. The Evansville stock
holders have one consolation, however,
they are not the only ones who were bit
on 3 per cent monthly dividend. Here
after they will be satisfied with smaller
margin and more legitimate profit on
their investments.

session can be brought to close. In
a report by Chief Clerk Marsh of the
assembly it was shown that of the TOT
assembly bills introduced. $3.50 or over
one-half of them have not yet been
reported back from committees, but
the assembly has been killing bills at
the rate of about dozen day, SO
that the large number left unrepOrted
may not last so very long after all.
Thirty Bills Day in Senate.
The senate is getting bills out of
committee and forwarding them on
the calendar at the rate of thirty per
record-and there is q disposition to
move matters to a finish within six
weeks. and perhaps better. There are
over 400 bills yet in committee. AS
these warm spring days come OH there
is restleSsness, especially among
members who are farmers. TO get home
and begin their spring operations. 20,
husband, o. husband, come home to
me now" is a more frequent appeal,
and when a member asks, perhaps for
the fourth time. to have Il bill recon-
mended for killing continued on the
calendar there is an impatient growl
and sometimes vigorous dissent.
The week will be a crippled season
for work as the adjournment over Sun
day will include Tuesday, election day,
and the members can not get together
before Wednesday evening. A few
sessions on Saturdays and Mondays
would be of great advantage, but while
theassembly does this occasionally, the
senate cannot be induced to take such
action. nor is it often necessary.
A Virtuous Legislature.
1t is the best legislature'' in the
sense of personal habit that Madison
has seen in the memory of the oldest
inha bitant. There are few world
'@lings who don't care what others say,
and, of course, not few who go with
the crowd: but saloon-keepers COM
plain that it is not a drinking crowd
and no drunkenness is in evidence
The opera house offers frequent at
fractions: one company of members
has room fitted up as club house
ON the square: and some of the mem
bers, are invited out" more or less.
But the Sunday intermission is tireary
at best for those who live too far off
to admit of their going home, and
themselves to get acquainted with the
members and carry them off for few
hours.
Thus Legislators are not afraid OF
temperance measures, as shown by the
vote on the ward option bill in the
assembly (49 to 43D The result is the
brewing interests are much worked
up over the crisis and are putting
pressure on members to weaken them
SO that the vote on passage may be adj

ton this pressure is possible, while
the friends of the bill have neither the
money, time nor energy to direct il
favor of the bill The method is ts

and kilograms and a new member un

acts like startled deer When the
pressure is all from one side, even il
the other side does not know what is
going forward, he is all the more
startled.
