THE STRANDED BILLS.

The storm in the Assembly is still
sweeping on, but the sands OF the
Calendar are covered with the wrecks
been relentless, and the Angel who di-
reefs the whir1wind has been unspar-
ing. No new measures are to be taken
up. They have decided that financial
bills and bills from the Senate shall
be discussed for the remainder Of the
session in the lower House. This
means a. long farewell to any meas
surcs which were proudly heralded by
their admitting patrons II fondly
laudcd by their makers as the pana-
ceas for a hundred political ills.
In this mqss OF dead ones are many
measures which should have died
young and others which should never
have been born. The Thro ckmorton
milk bill belongs to tile latter class
and has received the neglect which it
deserved. 1t was conceived in no lib
eral spirit and was begotten in error.
With 1t will perish the Keyser Drug
Store bill which aimed to give re-
frcshment to the thirsty in the arid
plains. This, too, probably deserved
its fate. Then there is That curious
measure which required the election
of school trustees. AS this bill would
have fostcred the. evil spirit put for
ward in the Love bill-that memora-
Bile House bill Stand would have
aided the work OF putting the schools
back into that slough Of politics from
which they have been rescued, its
death is not to be regretted.
II these were the only measures
which persisted, there might he cause
for rejoicing all over the State, and
for sincere congratulation among all
friends of good government. Such is
not the case. Almost as many good
measures have been lost by the de-
cision Of the House. Chief among
among these is the Byrd primary bill.
How the Assembly came to leave this
stranded Is a mystery. It was con-
sIdered from tho first assithe belated
fulhlment of a party pledge and wa
thoroughly discussed In detail before
it came up in the House. 1t held the
attention of the press for days and
was regarded as the most imp ortant sin
gle bill to be made law at this ses.
sion. Then suddenly 1t was aban'
doned as completely as though It hat
never been introduced. We do no
venture an explanation Of this stat,
of affairs. but we regret 1t more keen
~ than any single occurrence of tn
session. VIC see in tia political boom

Emeets.
With this splendid measure hay
persisted others. almost as good. Tn
West fee bill. tho income taX-listin'
bill, and the Byrd-Wickham oyste'
bill are all lost. No amount Of Worl
can secure their passage at this lat
day. The OWLS which they We're Anne
to correct must continue for tw
years more.
1t is too early yet to cast up an
balance. for good or for evil, the Worl
of the Assembly, but 1T is not too 500,
TO regret the spirit which waste
hours In the trlte discussion Of mino
matters and left untouched thes
