In Jail. OF both. The third bin gives
tho employer from whom the labOrer
has boon subtractod remedy at law.
These bills were accompanied by a
long list Of authorities and similar laws
from tho southern plantation states,
prepared to meet the objections Of any
who might raise the cry of unconstitu.
tionality against them.
A Reasonable Doubt.
There have appeared some statements
in print to the effect that these bills
will have been made into law before
the steamer Senator, supposedly an emil
grant steamer, arrives and will frua-
trate any attempts TO send il out with
a load Of orstwhile sugar plantation
laborers.
This, however was cutting short the
possible time In which a bin can pass
bcth houses and be signed by the Gov
ernor, and moreover anticipates legis.
lative action. There was considerable
discussion in the house yesterday rs to
whether the bills would be passed OF
not, aud there are number who dc
not think that their own exertions win
help pass them.
Craig Don't Care,
CT do not care how many laws they
pass" said Frank Craig, the repre-
sentative, Of the Alaskan Gamers, yes
terday. 81 have my license"
His attention was called to the fact
that there had been line in the
bills introduced which stated that al
klicenses which had been granted were
thereby annulled." This line, how
ever, had been scratched out at the
last moment.
cit all looks ex post facto to me,
Craig said. :.

The Legislature.

Meanwhile the legislature proceeded
to get busy. Three bills were intro
duced into each house, identical in
wording. intended to put a stop TO such
emigration IL il could be done. The bills
are drawn up carefully and by experts
and dovetail into each other most
tremendously.
The first of these bills neeessitates
a $500 annual license fee for recruit
ing immigrants. II also requires a bond
In the penal sum Of $4,000 10 be 6led
with the treasurer. Still further, Il
also requires the agent 10 give every
recruit bond Of 800 that his prom
ises will be fulhlled, and this Is also
10 be given TO the treasurer, who may
declare II forfeited when BIO thinks
there Is cause,
Another provision Of this bill states
that the agent must Gle the name, ma
iionnilty and other particulars Of every
recruit be signs up, and must pay the

Late one afternoon a western Sena

who sat musing idly in a committee
room.

Il was merely rejecting upon the
peculiar difference oratory has upon
different people" said the other states

And what induced that train OF
thOught?" asked the first senator,
much amused, by reason Of the fact.

his colleague was anything but an

Queered by Suicide.

What do you think of $40 In one
week for new razors?" said the boss
barber. That's what we spent this
week. We got an entirely new set.
Had to do it or lose our trade.
"A man cut his throat with one of
our razors last Saturday. Other GUS
toners heard about it, and they got
afraid they might be shaved with the
fatal razor. The only way we could
convince them there was no danger
was to swear that we had thrown all
the old razors away and show them a
bill for the new lot.
THAT has happened to us twice be-
fore. A suicide with a barber shop
razor will force the proprietor to lay
in a new supply every time. New
