A ui still the wheels do turn: The
lawmakers are still working like
beavers, and in the transaction of their
duty at the milking; of laws, their at
tention is principally taken up with
the election of U. S. senator. With
this work they are making: little head
way. The prospects for a long and
bitter fight increases with each day's
balloting. The Uolph supporters are
still confident of winning in the end,
as also are the friends of the other
candidates. The balloting Thursday
gave Dolph 44, but on Friday last, he
lost two votes and has not regained
them, and prospects point very directly
toward his defeat.
The other work of the people's rep
resentations is still dragging along,
and many good and just bills are being
acted upon; many others are being in
troduced, whech in one sense do not
amount to much, and some of them
should never be passed.
Till" USD AY JAN. 24.

bills to be past and it is quite possible
