THE LATE
LEGISLATURE.
Short Review of the Work and
the State Benefits.

IL one will take the trouble to look
over the back files OF the Nevada news
papers since we have become State, it
will be seen that for thirty years after
adjournment of the Legislative body il
has been the habit Of the press to roast
the members to q rich brown and SOL
emnly assert that the last legislature was
positively the most depsayed and rotton
of any that ever existed. The Carson
Appeal recalls the time when members
were obliged to skip the country and
some who had the nerve to come home
to visit their families were treated to
rides on a rail, tar and feathering or
hung in effegy.
Some OF the newspapers are just now
roasting the members and their work
without an adequate idea Of what they
are saying.
They hear some Of their patrons kick
ing about the defeat of some pet bill and
imagine that the whole superstructure
OF the commonwealth is about to fall
An intelligent review of the work Of
the session just passed will convince any
reasonable person that while mistakes
have been made in some directions the
general trend of the work was broad and
comprehensive.
There has been great deal Of work
to accomplish and it has been accom-
plished under many difficulties not
known to persons unfamiliar with the
workings Of Legislative body.
In the first place there is howl about
appropriations, but this may be dismiss
ed with the remark that the appropri
ations are about the same as last ses-
sion and not 80 large as many previous
ones.
There has been no unwarranted ex-
travagance in any direction, but needed
appropriations were created in q broad
liberal spirit. Cheese pairing economy
has no longer any place in this growing
commonwealth OF Nevada.
Instead of including in it. it is better
to have the tax shirkers come to the
front and make them share their just
burdens Of running the State govern
ment. Bowers revenue bill aimed at
this and it will accomplish great deal
of good and add to the revenue,
TheIe were several other bills that
were intended to add to the revenue re-
ceipts aud these will, combined, give the
State over two hundred Thousand dol.
lars revenue per annum.
The Governor has been compelled to
meet a good share OF abuse but he has
been in every instance sustained by the
legislature irrespective of party.
He has sound judgment and plenty OF
horse sense and 10 one can deny the as
sertion that he is honest to the core.
His acts will stand the test and when
dispassiouate review OF the work OF the
session just finished is made it will pass
muster with any session ever held in
Nevada.
It has been free from scandal and
corrupt influences and there is not
man in either house who Is afraid to go
home and look his constituents in the
face.
Taken as a whole it was one Of the
best legislatives bodies that ever con-
vened in the State.

COUIE
WILLIAM T. COOK

Widely Known Resident of HigganuEa.
 William H. Cook, who died at his home in Hlgganum Tuesday morning, was a man known far and wide through AliddleseX county. He was born at Haddam Neck, nearly sixty two years ago, and on becoming of age entered the feIdspar business with his father. Harris Cook. Together they owned quarries in a number of different places in the vicinity, and for num- Der of years operated a feldspar mill at Higganum. Shortly before his fath- CTS death, which occurred in the early seventies, Mir. Cook withdrew from this business and turned his attention 10 painting, and it is through his work as an artist that MT. Cook was best known.
 He showed excellent ability as DOT trait painter and has also executed some fine landscapes. Aside from painting he was a good watchmaker and a handsome penman. Some years ago he competed with L. L. Madridge, the finest penman in the world, and the contest was declared a draw. For many years he has done some of the fine penwork for Mansfield Post of this city, much of which is. still preserved. In fact his ability in these Ines amount el almost to genious and won for him wide reputation.
 MT. Cook was a kind and pleasant man to meet and one who entertained in a most hospitable manner. He leaves a wife and three sons. Harris J., foreman at the Stanley Rule and Lever Company, New Britain; Wallace A., foreman at the Rogers and Hubbard Company this city, and Irving S., de- signer at Brainerd and Wilson's, Dan- bury.
 The funeral was held at the home in Higganum Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. Tribune.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
CONTINUED ACTIVITY AND
 BULLISH TALK.
AND
Expectation of Higher Prices-NO Early Hardening of Money Rates.

~~----~r
 The general impression given out from street is that considering the ex- tremely favorable condition, higher prices for stocks are to be expected.
 The outlook for the iron and steel trade is elegant" to voice one Wall street authority; also the outlook as to wheat and corn crops.
 Prosperity is everywhere apparent throughout the broad land. There is talk of more increases of dividends, in addition to those which have recently so interested Wall street, and its hab- itues. Big accumulated earnings in excess of dividends are requested on several leading railroads that are awaiting the pockets of lucky stock holders
 There are some who are pessimistic- ally inclined who urge that Wall street has already done g. good deal toward Aiscounting the prosperity that is rampant, but these are simpuly put down as old forgies or of the class that should go away back and sit down.
 It is generally considered, however, that the country is booked for whole year of great prosperity on account of prevailing conditions with a future" as far as Wall street can penetrate in- to the matter.
 Somewhat amazing to ordinary folks Is the alacrity with which Wall street, when stocks have had tremendous rise, announces. glowing reports about the rosy aspect of those stocks their unexpected wonderful earning powers, their accumulations of surplus earnings over and above dividend expenditures, and the splendor of the prospects of these stocks, all of which information was kindly kept in the background be- fore.
 The good news is kindly kept secret until prices are away up in the air, and the big folks want to take profits.
 Great profits at profitable prices are assured. The corn crop may yet get a set back as the weather bureau thinks we are to have a cold wave in a couple of weeks in the northern part of t corn belt.
 ; The Tribune remarks: Investors must turn attention from the stocks at 200 and upward to an equally interest ing group for which, roughly speaking, 150 may be taken as the mean level. Among these are Canadian Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, Atlantic Coast Line, Nashville and Chattanooga, New York Central, Soo Line, Pennsyl- vanfa and, though still somewhat low CT, Union Pacific. These are the natur- al market heirs of the Lackawannas, New Haven and Delaware and Hud- sons. These also present enormous &C., cun1ulation of earnings far in excess of present dividend disbursement, appeal ing forcibly to investors"
 Wall street is also calling attention to the alluring qualities of the Hawley stocks, for example, Colorado Southern. This is another stock no doubt cir cumstances have splendidly helped the bulls in their present campaign, and only these who jumped on and joined the bull forces have made money. The bears were certainly not in it.
