it did not go carefully. Mr.. Struggled
said he desired to conform to the wishes
of the Senate and the penson commit
tee 20 force no bill in the state. He
knew the institutions for the insane
and for the blind demanded more mon-
ey. but so far as he had heard, the peo-

the state doing the most it could for
the old Confederate veterans. He said
Il john committee of the House and

bill.
Mr. Odell said he wanted to make a
