LEFT OVER UNTIL 1897
The adjournment of the legislature
was taken with many important bills
. t ;|j pending and several important
questions undi-po-od of. The great-
part of the season was taken up in the
election for judges and solicitors and
United states senator and in di-cus-
-ton of the general appropriation hills.
Little. if anything, vras done look-
jug to a settlement of the vexed con-
viet lease question, and it will have
to be considered . at . the .. session of - loin. , u ,
7S{ t ■ *' I -iTor ■ made to secure
i he appoinliiit idiit committees
empowered to vi- :• 1 'thc‘i- slates to
study the convict question, hut the
house declined to agree to such a prop¬
osition. defeating the senate hill pro-
viding for such a committee. The!
lease system will expire in and ^
it will he necessary for some settle¬
ment of the question as to what plan
disposing of and punishing the con-
to 1hj ln;u Je this j
year.
N'o prohibition hills of a general
character were enacted, and at the
session the question will come to
the front early in the session. Several
anti-harroom hills an* pending in both
houses, and ........ the Inends of the
meits-
urea only consented to allow them to
go over this year on account of the
unusual delay in the disposition of the
business.
It was expected that some legisla¬
tion would l>c had on the election sys¬
tem of the state, hut in the, rush the
subject was not reached, Mr. Felder,
of Fulton, introduced iti the house
early in the session an Australian bal¬
lot system bill, and lie will bring it
forward at the next session for action.
Some changes are desired in the elec¬
tion system, and Mr. Felder thinks the
Australian system is what is needed.
A (ptestion of growing interest and
importance which was not settled, al¬
though considered, is the one of the
method of electing' judges and solici¬
tors. The Hill to make judicial officers
elective by the people was considered
in the senate and defeated, but the
q,test ion will not down for all time,
and it is sure to he brought up early
in the next session. It is proposed to
agitate the question during the year,
and the friends of the bill hope in that
wav to secure a public sentiment
which will force the enactment of the
hill as a law at the next session.
1 iie question ot the establishment
of a juvenile rclormntoiy was also
passed over. Several hills on the sub-
jeet were introduced, hut none reached
consideration of either house.
