From the Savannah Press.
The legislative session will expire by imita-

of good bills before the legislature that should
have been passed.-DaWson News

The Mexicans have waited long and patiently for
relief, and have turned supplcatingly from one
to another of the sundry generals who make a
living by conducting revolutions. Not only its
itinerant bands of fighters unable to provide food
for the starving population, but they are unwilling
that outsiders should do so. What is more needed

The papers are busy fixing the blame for the
ira session of the legislature AS The News sees
it, no particular faction is more to blame than the
other, and the responsibility is upon all alike If
a majority of the legislature wanted to vote
the prohibition measure they clearly had right
to do So and a vote should not have been pre-
vented, but the fact that they were out-generaled
did not warrant them in forcing upon the state
another needless and expensive session. The body
as a whole must share the credit odium, as you
may see it, for the present state of affairs.
