COUNTY OPTION LAW STANDS.

Repeal Rill Killed In the Senate—— Indianapolis Gets Sunday Rase Ball—Legislative Notes. The Tomlinson-Proctor liquor license bill was killed in the -state, senate Tuesday, and ends any change in the liquor laws at this session. The “kHling” came about by a motion to strike out the enacting clause, which was carried. The new Sunday base ball bill, said to have been framed to illiminate the more prominent faults in a like bill which Gov. Marshall vetoed, has passed both branches of the legislature and will likely be signed by the governor, although he is opposed to the measure as a law. As we understand, this law applies only to Indianapolis, where they want to legalize Sunday baseball between the hours of 2 and 6 o’clock p. m. , The new court bills vetoed by Gov. Marshall have passed in the Senate over the governor’s veto, but will meet their Waterloo in the House. Governor Marshall vetoed Senator Stotsenburg’s bill providing that a prisoner, unless sentenced to death, may be released on bail pending appeal to the higher courts for rehearing. The Governor took the ground that this bill favored

rich men. The same objection was raised by many members. The senate killed the Grube bill to abolish capital punishment. The session ends Monday and the record made will be a good one, IT is now generally believed, not in the number of laws passed but in the quality of the legislation enacted and the absence o. any vicious legislation.
