There are scores of bills thai have passed one or the other house, and to become a law must- receive final and. favorable ronsldcratlon during the next few days. Of eouise, only a few will ever nee the light of day, hut each and every legislator will exhibit his utmost oiiiiitv to secure favorable action on his one or mole bills pending. Whatever comment may be mad after the sifslon Is ended and the! pets carefully considered, on !:mds out prominently: the t'lliU' legisi lure as a body has followed the Will of the peoplo.
