one hundred and fifty bills have been introduced in the
house and referred to different committees when ap

suffrage One of these bills has good chance to pass
About the only element that will oppose is the liquor
traffic All of the Progressves will vote for it,
jorty Of the Democrats and possibly forty of the Re-
publican members One of these bills has been intro
duced by Progressive member and the other one by
Democratic member. This shows the sentiment is
monopolized by any party. Like the temperance
question: it is non-partisan issue and has friends in
all parties
Another important measure that has been intro
duced is an amendment to the present local option law
increasing the penalty for third ofense making it
possible to send continuous vioators of this law to the
penitentiary.
By the time this paper reaches the public the
chances the county option bill will be introduced

later the blind tiger and antshipplng bills will be pre-

you know that some of your representatives whom
you earnestly supported and helped to elect who really
made this an issue in the campaign, forgetting that
you worked hard for them in their campaign and that
this paramount issue in your county, and are trying
to make themselves believe that other issues
important than this? They intend to vote right, Of
course but the success of this bill depends well on
the earnest work the part of the members OF the
assembly. There are few of our friends who are
wishing that the would not come up and yet
there is issue before the people of this state that

eighty counties in the state that will drive every sa-

Committee on Committees.
The great contest OF the last week has been the
resolution to whether not the house should have
committee on committees. This resolution caused
of the greatest contests in the assembly for years
Some of the parties had made this issue in their
campaigns The great difficulty confronting the mem
bers of the assembly to the character of the
committee Almost all agreed that if proper COM
mittee could be secured such method would be
advisable one. But the other hand many who did
believe in committee committees feared the out
come as to the character of the committee The
method suggested for securing the committee that
of the caucus which in fact really would not bring the
question the whole of the assembly to let
the speaker appoint the committees An effort was
made to get the different caucuses choose their
representation, and when the states presented it
was feared by a number that the committee would be
dominated by factions who do not express the ma
iority sentiment Of the assembly.
There seems to be feeling on the part of most of
the members that Speaker Mckinley will appoint good
committees. The Chicago Tribune, paper which
favored committee committees theory, makes
the editorial statement that There is every reason to
believe that Mr. Mckinley will appoint better COM
mttees than the committee on committees would have
selected, if that committee had been made up of the
men proposed" While committee committees is
the better method the questions its effectiveness
must depend almost entirely the way such COM
mttee is appointed. We do not believe the caucus
method is the right farer method would be
to every member of the committee from the floor
of the house.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Very Dull Trading and Irregu-
Iarlty at the Close.

a lack of incentive for trading prob
ably had much to do with yesterdays
dull stock market Primarily. the day
was designed to call traders away
from the stern path Of duty TO fields of
recreation. and there spread over the
Stock Exchange an air of midsummer
lassitude which kept the volume OF
business for the half day considerably
under one hundred thousand shares.
The initial transactions displayed an
array of prices slightly below Fridays
closing quotations. Declines were
shown in United States Steel Reading,
Union Pacific. Canadian Pacific and
Amalgamated Copper. while Pennsyl-
Vania proved TO be an exception, and
opened with a gain Of u of a point, and
New Haven and Illinois Central re-
manned unchanged
The attendance on the floor was
small, and interest among the COM
mission houses shown by those few
who sat around the tickers seemed to
be more wrapped up i'm the sulfragette
parade topic than in the movements
OF prices. The session was exceedingly
uninteresting and transactions were
sluggish. the losses and gains both
being due chiefly to the indifference of
traders regarding specific operations.
The action of the foreign stock mar
kets did not inspire any encourage
ment for betterment as weakness was
distributed over the European bourses,
and London witnessed a general sell
ing of securities which was attributed
TO the continued uncertainty regarding
the Austria Montenegro outcome and
to realizing operations Of the profess
SIGNALS. In n general way the end Of
the weeks trading on the New York
stock Exchange gave as little informa-
ton regarding the trend of values as
at any other time recently. irrespective
Of the recovery which was so pro-
nounced on Thursday. AS it appears
now. the stock markets Of the world
are dominated by fear. which has run
so long that the least shadow disturbs
them.
4 diversity Of opinion regarding the
financial situation Ia to be found in
banking circles and among the indus
trial institutions. Whether or not af-
fairs are mendng is a question. Many
believe that we have passed the worst
spots and a gradual building up proc
css will become evident. If this be
true, then the stock market holds
many opportunities. But If the reverse
IS true. and further liquidation must
result before improvement begins. the
outlook is not cheerful There GER
/ tainly is room for an exercise Of great
/ caution.

BURGLAR POSED AS DOCTOR

Thieves Tools, of Which He Had
Made Use.

Two detectives in East New York,
searching a neighborhood from which
had come a report of burglars, en-
countered a distinguished looking
man with a Van Dyke beard, a profess
sional air and a black surgeons bag
with gold letters on it. Good morn

this street from which l received a
telephone call to attend an urgent
case. Could l ask you to direct me?"
The detectives replied that they
were sorry not to oblige, but were too
busy hunting burglars to look for sick
people. The doctor walked briskly
on his way. Before he got far the
detectives saw a nan look out of his
front door, as if he might have been
expecting a doctor. They shouted af-
ter Doctor Brewster. In stead of stop
ping he began to run away. After a
vigorous chase the detectives cap
